Chapter 137, Zhong Family Big Brother
"Brother is back?" Zhong Yangyang's eyes lit up when he heard Zhong Qihan's words and he immediately stood up and asked him, "Where is brother?"
"In the living room downstairs, talking to my parents." Zhong Qihan looked at Kong Xiyan's hand: "What's wrong with your hand?"
"You played with fire and got what you deserved." Kong Xiyan moved her hands that were wrapped like dumplings by Zhong Yangyang and laughed dryly.
"You're so old, and you're still playing with fire?" Zhong Qihan shook his head helplessly: "Your handbag is too ugly. It doesn't look like it was burned by fire. It looks like a broken finger bone."
"Pfft." Kong Xiyan couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard Zhong Qihan say that.
"Second brother!" Zhong Yangyang's face flushed red. "What's so ugly about it?!"
Zhong Qihan knew he had said the wrong thing when he saw this, so he just said, "I'm going downstairs to see my brother first, you two should hurry up!"
After saying that, he slipped away.
"Really!" Zhong Yangyang put his hands on his hips, his face full of displeasure.
"Let's go. Aren't you going to introduce your elder brother to me?" Kong Xiyan smiled and patted Zhong Yangyang on the back.
Zhong Yangyang then walked downstairs with Kong Xiyan. As they walked, she angrily complained that Zhong Qihan had no understanding of aesthetics. Finally, as if remembering something, she looked at Kong Xiyan and said, "What do you mean by introducing my elder brother to you? He is your elder brother, right?"
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Kong Xiyan smiled. With Zhong Qihan and Zhong Yanyong as two role models here, Kong Xiyan did not have high expectations for the so-called big brother.
As the two of them went downstairs, they heard a stern and steady male voice.
"Ridiculous! Letting your own daughter be a cousin? What on earth were you thinking? There are so many solutions, yet you chose the most outrageous one!"
The man who was speaking was about 1.87 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, which made him look particularly tall and straight under his dark suit.
From Kong Xiyan's perspective, she could see his excellent jawline and high nose bridge at a glance.
The Zhong couple shrank their necks when they heard what was said.
Zhong Yanyong, who was standing by, wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but he just called out "Big Brother" and was then despised from head to toe by the eldest brother of the Zhong family.
"You have no grades, no skills, and at such a young age you want to imitate someone else's late-night racing? Do you want to die? Have you passed the exam? Now even your teeth are fake! Zhong Yanyong, what else can you do?"
Zhong Yanyong suddenly curled up into a ball like a firecracker that had gone out.
Zhong Qihan, who was standing next to him, had just taken a breath when he couldn't escape the fate of being scolded by his elder brother.
"I didn't scold you, did I? There are few people in the world as stupid as you! If it were you, the National Museum shouldn't be exhibiting artifacts from the Luo River ruins, it should be exhibiting you!"
"Hiss! Big brother is cursing again." Zhong Yangyang shrank his neck and whispered to Kong Xiyan, "Big brother is good in other aspects, but..."
"Zhong Yangyang!" Zhong Yongan, the eldest brother of the Zhong family, heard Zhong Yangyang's voice and immediately criticized him by name: "You've been kidnapped before and you still haven't learned your lesson! Are you trying to imitate others by luring the enemy deep into our territory? If Gao Qianqian had pulled out a knife in the alley behind the school that day, you would have been killed right there, do you know that?!"
No one from the Zhong family was left out and they were all scolded by Zhong Yongan. Finally, Zhong Yongan's eyes fell on Kong Xiyan.
Kong Xiyan met Zhong Yongan's gaze and pursed her lips: "After you scold them, you can't scold me anymore."
After hearing what Kong Xiyan said, Zhong Yongan really stopped scolding. He took a deep breath and said, "Everyone should reflect on yourselves. Xiyan, right? Come with me to the study."
After saying this, Zhong Yongan went straight upstairs.
"I wish you good luck." Zhong Qihan and Zhong Yanyong looked at Kong Xiyan with sympathy.
"How about... I go with you?" Zhong Yangyang had just finished speaking when Zhong Yongan's voice came from the stairs: "Come alone!"
Hearing this, Zhong Yangyang shrugged at Kong Xiyan with a helpless expression.
Kong Xiyan looked at Zhong Yangyang and asked, "If he curses too harshly later, can I hit him?"
"It's better not to." Zhong Yangyang hesitated for a moment: "You may not be able to beat Big Brother."
"When my elder brother was under a lot of pressure from the college entrance examination, he played anonymously in a professional league and won trophies." Although Zhong Yanyong was scolded like a grandson, his eyes were still bright and full of admiration when he mentioned his elder brother.
"Besides, Big Brother is very smart. No matter what you think, it will not escape his eyes." Zhong Qihan also seemed to be thinking: "You should be careful."
"Xiyan, don't be nervous. He just has a bad temper and likes to scold people. Other than that... it's nothing." Zhong Qiqiang and his wife laughed dryly. It seemed that this was not the first time that they had been scolded by their own son.
Kong Xiyan was not comforted at all when she heard the Zhong family say this. She could only sigh and go upstairs.
The door of Zhong Yongan's study was open. As soon as Kong Xiyan entered, she saw Zhong Yongan standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The setting sun shone on him, making him look more capable and profound.
Zhong Yongan looked Kong Xiyan up and down, and then took out a jade pendant in the shape of a peace lock.
"This is the token I gave them when I came to the Zhong family." Kong Xiyan recognized it: "My adoptive father said that when they picked me up, I was wearing this around my neck."
"I begged for this after kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times." Zhong Yongan looked at Kong Xiyan and said, "Before you were born, a wandering Taoist priest told you that you were gifted but had a bad fate. He also said that you would be born with a great calamity, and it was hard to say whether you could survive it.
Grandma said that the wandering Taoist was talking nonsense and had him driven away.
But I believed it, and went to the mountain and knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to get this safety lock for you.
Yangyang was weak when he was young and he did have a serious illness. After he recovered, I thought it was because of the effect of this safety lock.
I didn't expect it to be such a misunderstanding.
Xiyan, welcome home."
Kong Xiyan met Zhong Yongan's sincere eyes and thought for a moment: "I think Yangyang is right about something."
"Hmm?" Zhong Yongan looked at Kong Xiyan.
"You are different from other people in the Zhong family. You are smart and have brains." Kong Xiyan raised the corners of her lips and smiled faintly.
Fortunately, the Zhong family is not full of naive and naive people, there are still some smart people.
"Thank you for the compliment." Zhong Yongan also curled his lips: "Then I will introduce you to everyone at Yangyang's coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow..."
"Allow me to refuse." Kong Xiyan shook her head: "There's no need to make such a fuss. It's fine now."
"I apologize to you on behalf of my family for what happened before. They were a little too partial to Yangyang." Zhong Yongan mentioned the past to Kong Xiyan: "Fourteen years ago, when Xiaoyong was just born, something... very bad happened in our family."
