Patriarch Kong sighed deeply, "Chen'er, your reasons are too far-fetched."
"Then what should I say? Say that I'm in love and can't help myself? Say that I would rather destroy everyone in the Kong family who displeases her, just to make her smile to me?"
Kong Qianchen's face no longer had the evil look it had before. All he had was the pain of being trapped in love and missing out on love.
Kong Xianxian covered her mouth in surprise. Her cousin, who had always been cynical, actually loved her so deeply.
Patriarch Kong felt sorry for his youngest son and patted him on the shoulder. "Alright! Yu Ying has already received a serious warning from the higher-ups for these two actions. We can't reveal the fact that we knew she was the one who handed over the invisibility cloak. Otherwise, the higher-ups will really not tolerate us."
"Thank you, Father! I also ask that you help me change Manager Kong's memory."
Patriarch Kong sighed softly, "Chen'er, have you ever thought about using a relationship to forget?"
Kong Qianchen shook his head, "No, don't ruin my beautiful memories. I just want to spend the remaining ten years reminiscing."
Patriarch Kong was silent. His son had a maximum of 48 years to live. If he couldn't find a way to prolong his life, there would only be 15 years left. Why should he force him to get married and have children?
He turned around and helped Kong Keyan up, sat cross-legged with him face to face, and then placed his hand on Kong Keyan's Baihui acupoint.
Kong Qianchen bowed to his cousin, "Cousin, please, it's the same for you, isn't it?"
Kong Xianxian, who was planning to avoid her cousin, paused. What did her cousin know?
Seeing that his cousin was silent, Kong Qianchen stopped talking and looked at his father quietly.
A few minutes later, Kong Keyan opened his eyes. The old patriarch of the Kong family retracted the hand on his head and supported him instead, "Keyan, get up quickly. Why are you sitting on the ground?"
Kong Keyan was confused for a while before he stood up with the help of Patriarch Kong. "That's right! Why am I sitting on the ground? Aren't we looking for traces of drugs?"
"Yes! While searching, you sat down on the ground. Is this the aftereffect of the puppet drug? After all, this powder is hundreds of years old, and we don't know if it has lost its effect yet. Do you remember anything unusual about yourself before? From the time Yu Ying came to you to the time you just felt relaxed, that was over twenty days in between."
Kong Keyan thought about it carefully, then shook his head. "Nothing major is wrong. I just often feel that Miss Zhou is a bit hateful."
Patriarch Kong secretly complained, "Isn't Zhou Xiang too perceptive?" Even Ke Yan's slight anomaly was noticed by Zhou Xiang, which showed that she still harbored fear and resentment towards the Kong family.
Alas, what was the purpose of my cousin's move back then? It only provoked a powerful rival for our family.
Thinking of this, he looked at his niece again, "Xianxian, have you fully understood what your father said?"
Kong Xianxian, who was immersed in her own thoughts, was startled, "No, no!"
Patriarch Kong gave her a deep look, but didn't expose her lies. "Xianxian, the family has stabilized, and the country is harmonious and civilized. There's no need to use divination to avoid disaster. You can go out for a walk and take a look at the customs of our motherland."
Kong Xianxian was stunned. What did Uncle Jiu mean by this? However, regardless of whether it had a profound meaning or not, the idea was very attractive.
"Thank you, Uncle Jiu."
Patriarch Kong shook his head. "No need to thank me. This is what you deserve. From now on, don't tell fortunes easily. Protect yourself well."
Kong Xianxian agreed, "Yes! I will."
Kong Qianchen also had an idea, "Father, your lifespan is longer than mine, so I'll give the position of head of this family back to you!"
Patriarch Kong glared at him and said, "That's your responsibility, not mine. If you want to step down, go find your own successor and train him."
"Looking for my nephew?"
"You can find anyone, as long as they are capable."
The three people who had strayed from the topic quickly brought it back to the topic, "Keyan, feel your body and see if there's anything wrong."
Kong Keyan shook his head. "No problem, except for that one moment."
There's no problem here, but how do I explain this to my aunt? Patriarch Kong is in a state of great headache.
Kong Qianchen didn't care, "Just ask her to check it herself!"
As he spoke, Kong Qianchen turned on the surveillance again and checked to see if there were any omissions from the previous changes.
The old patriarch Kong found an excuse to send Kong Keyan away. What if his youngest son still needed to change something? If he attacked Kong Keyan again, not to mention whether Kong Keyan could bear it, he would not be willing to waste his internal energy to change his memory twice in a row!
On the 19th day of the first lunar month, Dong Yunrong decided to go home and live. "Think about it! I'm going home. I'll come over in the morning and afternoon. It's not appropriate for your grandfather to always send you food."
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Okay! Brother Erniu can also cook, so if you need anything, just ask him for help. His salary is paid by Ling Ran, so you and Dad don't have to worry about it."
Dong Yunrong narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Okay, okay, we don't care. The old man will just listen to his grandson. If we pay him a salary, he definitely won't want anyone to serve him."
"Don't worry about this. Sister Guo and Lv Jing and Lv Ying can help."
Although Lv Jing and Lv Ying look big and strong, they are very gentle and careful when taking care of children.
Dong Yunrong was naturally relieved, "Okay, I'll go pack my things now."
The person who was determined to go home packed his clothes and lay beside the three treasures and refused to leave. He waited until they all fell asleep before reluctantly going downstairs.
Zhou's mother walked her downstairs and said, "It's only a few steps away. If you think of it, just come and see it right away."
Dong Yunrong nodded. "That's what I said, but I just can't bear to let you go. When I can't see you, my heart feels empty."
Ling Quan, who was waiting anxiously downstairs, saw his wife finally come downstairs and grabbed her arm. "Let's go. We still have some things to clean up at home. Hurry up, finish your work early, cook dinner early, and come see the three treasures after dinner."
Zhou's father did not try to keep him because he had to take care of the old man on his in-laws' side.
This time there was one less person to take care of the three babies, and with the help of Lv Jing and Lv Ying, there was no chaos.
Another day passed, and Zhou Xiang did not wait for the Kong family to come and hold him accountable, so he began to arrange his own affairs.
Mao Xiaolu and Zhou Nian were sent to work in the mall. Zhou Nian took over from Zuo Zhen to collect the fees on the second floor, while Mao Xiaolu learned accounting from Zuo Zhen, who was a half-baked accountant.
Mao Xiaolu was puzzled, "Zhou Xiang, why should I learn this?"
"Learn to be a cashier at a school specializing in tuition fees. It's easier than being an accountant. Managing money is a job that requires acquaintances, so you're the right person for it."
"As for feelings, I'll just be a passing god of wealth."
"Do you still want to be the real God of Wealth?"
"Okay, okay! I'll manage the money for you."
After arranging these two people, Zhou Xiang took Senior Jiang to the eighth floor of the mall to see what furniture they needed to buy.
Jiang Weihua saw the dozen or so suites of over 200 square meters and said in surprise, "How much furniture do we need to buy? I guess the furniture store will have to order them from the factory."
Zhou wanted to refuse, "No, if it's custom-made, how long will the smell last? You and Ling Ran can go to more places, even the provincial capital! Ask for samples from other places, and go to a few furniture stores. We don't need the same styles, just furniture that can complete the room."
