Chapter 144, Young Master Luo Calls
"Do you know what you are doing?" Zhong Qiqiang frowned.
"Xiyan, what did you promise me before?" Liang Qiu also frowned.
"Mom and Dad, this is my fault. I accidentally slipped and spilled the water." Zhong Yangyang quickly defended herself, "It has nothing to do with my sister."
"Why did you suddenly bring water to the stairs?" Zhong Qiqiang questioned Zhong Yangyang, "Are you going to tell me this was your idea?"
"Uh...yeah." Zhong Yangyang nodded guiltily.
As soon as he saw Zhong Yangyang's expression, Zhong Qiqiang knew that this must have been Kong Xiyan's idea.
"Dad, this is actually my fault." Zhong Qihan stepped forward to excuse his two younger sisters.
"Then tell me, what do you want water for?" Zhong Qi gave Zhong Qihan a domineering look.
"This..." Zhong Qi Han looked at Kong Xiyan when he heard the voice. Why did you bring that bucket of water here?
"Actually, it's me!" Zhong Yanyong also stepped forward: "I suddenly wanted to play in the water."
"Get out of the way!" Liang Qiu glared at Zhong Yanyong.
"Okay."
At this time, Zhong Yongan walked over quickly: "Mom and Dad, this matter..."
"Are you trying to say that this matter has something to do with you?" Liang Qiu looked at his eldest son speechlessly.
She fully hoped that the children in her family could help Kong Xiyan grow up and eventually become a qualified daughter of a wealthy family.
As a result, she didn't see much progress in Kong Xiyan, but the children in the family became more and more outrageous, and even learned to lie together!
"Shut up, Xiyan. I want to hear your explanation. You tell me!" Liang Qiu looked at Kong Xiyan.
"This..." Kong Xiyan couldn't say that she suddenly had a bad premonition, so she used the art of choosing auspicious days to calculate and found that today was Jiayin Day, also known as the Heavenly Fire Day, which was prone to fire. She thought of preparing a bucket of water upstairs so that she could be prepared for an emergency in case of an accident.
Who knew that just as she was carrying the water over with Zhong Yangyang, she saw someone downstairs trying to attack the old head of the Zhong family. She immediately stepped on Zhong Yangyang's skirt, and then poured the water in the bucket down to prevent the other party from maliciously scalding the old head of the Zhong family with the burning cocktail.
"Yes... Grandpa wants to see the Water Curtain Cave." Kong Xiyan turned her beautiful eyes and pointed at the old head of the Zhong family who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Zhong family's old patriarch:???
Did he ever make such an outrageous request?
Upon hearing the voice, everyone immediately looked towards the old patriarch of the Zhong family.
In front of everyone's gaze, the Zhong family's old patriarch smiled and clapped his hands: "Haha, this is really fun, let's do it again!"
"Dad..." Zhong Qiqiang and his wife looked helpless. This little episode passed after the servants cleaned up the scene.
After all, no one can argue with the old and confused patriarch of the Zhong family.
However, other people also saw from this incident that the Zhong family was protecting their cousin Kong Xiyan.
Those who had previously thought of using Kong Xiyan to establish a relationship with the Zhong family also shook their heads secretly and completely gave up the idea.
I originally thought that even if my son couldn't marry her, everyone has nephews and nieces. In short, they are not my direct relatives. Even if he married Kong Xiyan, I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of political review and inspection, or submitting reports before going abroad.
But now it seems that I can’t afford to offend him, so let it go!
Those old hands immediately tried to smooth things over with a smile, either praising Kong Xiyan for being filial, obedient, and respectful to the elders, or praising the younger generation of the Zhong family for their sincere feelings and support for each other, which was really touching.
With these people offering the ladder, Zhong Qiqiang and Liang Qiu could only smile and pass it off vaguely, then go down the ladder and continue to chat with others.
"Xiyan, Yangyang, you two are not allowed to mess around anymore." Liang Qiu could only lower his voice and give Kong Xiyan a final warning: "Otherwise, you will all eat carrots tonight, and you will only eat carrots on my birthday from now on!"
After warning the two, Liang Qiucai once again stayed by her husband's side and greeted the guests present.
"You're tricking me again!" Zhong Yangyang pulled Kong Xiyan aside and complained in a low voice.
"I'm saying, next time you're going to do something shocking, could you please tell me in advance?" Zhong Qihan chased after them, somewhat speechless, and then looked at Kong Xiyan: "Is it really Grandpa who wants to see the Water Curtain Cave?"
"Who knows..." Kong Xiyan did not answer Zhong Qihan's question directly, but looked in the direction of the old patriarch of the Zhong family with a slightly gloomy look.
Why did that person hurt an elderly man who was already in a wheelchair and unconscious?
The fire in a cocktail glass won't kill anyone, but it's good enough for experiments or to scare someone.
Could it be that the other party suspected that the old head of the Zhong family was pretending to be crazy?
Kong Xiyan had thought of this before, which is why she deliberately pushed the old head of the Zhong family to take the blame.
only……
Kong Xiyan couldn't understand why the old head of the Zhong family did this.
Could it be to confuse the person behind the scenes?
If that's the case, does the old lady of the Zhong family know about this?
Kong Xiyan was just thinking when she was interrupted by Zhong Yanyong's noisy voice: "Pranks also require talent. Do you really think anyone can pull off a perfect prank? When it comes to this, you all have to learn from me!"
"Get out." Kong Xiyan glared at Zhong Yanyong. This kid was so noisy.
"Okay."
"Xiyan, I want to talk to you alone." Zhong Yongan walked over with a serious expression.
"Yeah." Kong Xiyan nodded and followed Zhong Yongan to the other side.
Zhong Yangyang and Zhong Qihan, who stayed where they were, had a look of worry on their faces. They wondered if their eldest brother was going to scold them again.
Zhong Yanyong seemed to want to express his feelings, but was interrupted by Zhong Yangyang and Zhong Qihan in unison: "Get lost."
"Okay."
Zhong Yanyong, who was ordered to go aside, pursed his lips and puffed up his cheeks. This was too bullying!
Here, Kong Xiyan followed behind Zhong Yongan and asked casually: "Is that person gone?"
Zhong Yongan paused and turned to look at Kong Xiyan: "How did you know?"
"Is the surveillance in the lobby broken too?" Kong Xiyan tilted her head. "And the identity of that person can't be found either, right?"
"That's right." Zhong Yongan nodded.
He felt that no matter how mischievous Kong Xiyan was, she would not cause such trouble today, so as soon as the trouble broke out, he checked the surveillance and found that the surveillance in the hall had been hacked three minutes before the accident.
Moreover, the guest who was drenched in water also disappeared out of thin air. He seemed to be very careful and did not leave any fingerprints or even touch his clean clothes.
Zhong Yongan asked someone to check the invitation card for the man's admission and found that apart from knowing the man's surname "Hu", he knew nothing else. Even the surname could not be guaranteed to be correct.
"You discovered something, right?" Zhong Yongan looked at Kong Xiyan.
"Yeah." Kong Xiyan nodded: "You should have noticed it too."
"Not yet. I just don't believe there are so many coincidences in the world." Zhong Yongan shook his head. "You were swapped out of the Zhong family shortly after you were born, Xiaoyong was deceived and corrupted, Yangyang encountered a series of kidnappings, Qi Han was poisoned, and I encountered an assassination... It's too coincidental, isn't it?"
"Indeed." Kong Xiyan nodded: "What do you want to do?"
"I originally wanted to leave Nancheng and return to the company as soon as possible after celebrating Yangyang's birthday, but now... I may have to stay in Nancheng for a while longer." Zhong Yongan took a step towards Kong Xiyan: "Xiyan, if your purpose in returning to the Zhong family is not to recognize your ancestors, then what exactly did you come back for?"
Kong Xiyan stared at Zhong Yongan for a moment before turning around and drawing a yin-yang fish pattern on the transparent glass window with her fingertips: "Because of this."
After drawing the Yin-Yang fish picture, Kong Xiyan turned around and left.
"Huh?" Zhong Yongan stayed where he was, looking at the pattern Kong Xiyan left on the glass window in confusion.
What's the meaning?
Kong Xiyan walked out of the villa, looked around, and roughly figured out the route the old fox took to escape by jumping out of the window.
Just as she was about to further confirm her guess, Kong Xiyan received a call from Luo Zhenxuan: "When can you come back?"
"Are you in danger?" Kong Xiyan frowned. If it wasn't a special situation, Luo Zhenxuan wouldn't call her at this time.
"It's not dangerous." Luo Zhenxuan's voice was a little embarrassed: "But it's a very troublesome problem."
