Chapter 42, Zhong Qihan, the second brother of the Zhong family
When the Zhong family heard the housekeeper say that Zhong Qihan was back, their eyes lit up and they immediately looked towards the door. They saw a tall man, about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned body. In his light-colored casual clothes, he looked like a street-style male model.
He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, had short, styled black hair, fair skin, and a smile that looked a bit careless and lazy.
He raised his hand to take off his sunglasses, casually hanging them behind his collar, and said to the Zhong family, "I'm back."
"Second brother!" Zhong Yangyang rushed over and gave Zhong Qihan a big hug: "I missed you so much!"
Zhong Qihan hugged Zhong Yangyang, and his smile became more gentle. At the same time, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Kong Xiyan. The smile in his eyes disappeared instantly, leaving only a bone-chilling coldness.
Is this the woman who appeared out of nowhere and is bullying his younger brothers and sisters in the Zhong family?
Um?
"Qi Han, you're glad to be back." Zhong Qiqiang also walked over and patted his second son's shoulder.
"He looks a little thinner." Liang Qiu felt sorry for his second son who had not been home for a long time, so he quickly asked the housekeeper to instruct the kitchen to add a few dishes that Zhong Qihan liked in the evening.
Zhong Qihan was surrounded by his family, and the fatigue of the journey was relieved a lot. He took out a beautiful diamond necklace and put it on Zhong Yangyang like a magic trick. "This is a gift to celebrate the end of Yangyang's college entrance examination. Do you like it?"
"I like it! I like everything my second brother gave me!" Zhong Yangyang's eyes sparkled. After gently stroking the necklace around her neck with her fingers, she seemed to remember something and quickly introduced Kong Xiyan to Zhong Qihan: "Second brother, she is..."
Zhong Yangyang got stuck midway through his words.
How to introduce it?
"I heard about it from Xiaoyong." Zhong Qihan then walked towards Kong Xiyan step by step, his eyes cold and hostile, and he took the initiative to extend his hand: "Hello."
Now that he is back, he will not let this ridiculous thing continue.
Kong Xiyan's gaze fell on Zhong Qihan's eyebrows.
I have to say that Zhong Qihan is really good at growing up. He combines all the advantages of Zhong Qiqiang and Liang Qiu. He has handsome features, especially his eyes, which are really beautiful.
It's a pity... he's a fool.
Kong Xiyan's gaze slid from Zhong Qihan's eyebrows to the side of his neck, and finally she raised her hand and placed her fingertips on Zhong Qihan's pulse.
The poisoning lasted for two and a half years.
Fortunately, it is only a chronic poison and is not yet incurable.
Zhong Qihan looked at Kong Xiyan's behavior and curled the corners of his mouth downwards. Who shakes hands like this?
Sensational.
Could it be that Kong Xiyan used this kind of low-brow trick to make her parents curious about her and look at her differently?
That's ridiculous.
Impatiently withdrawing his hand, Zhong Qihan curled the corners of his lips and said, "The way of shaking hands in your hometown is really unique. Is it so simple that no one taught us how to shake hands?"
Hearing Zhong Qihan's indirect criticism of her lack of education, Kong Xiyan smiled and said, "Yes, the people in my hometown are simple and honest. They only know one way, which is handshake." After a pause, Kong Xiyan opened her palm upwards and said, "Handshake."
Zhong Yangyang subconsciously placed his hand on Kong Xiyan's palm.
On the eve of the college entrance examination, she was extremely nervous, so Kong Xiyan taught her a small game to relieve stress.
There is a segment where the winner of rock-paper-scissors gives instructions and the loser has to respond immediately, one of which is a handshake.
Although Zhong Yangyang realized later that Kong Xiyan was just making fun of her, she was so angry that she even forgot about the nervousness before the exam.
At this moment, she subconsciously put her hand on it again. After she realized what was happening, Zhong Yangyang blushed immediately and glared at Kong Xiyan with a coquettish look.
The latter raised his hand and rubbed Zhong Yangyang's head, smiling lovingly: "Be good."
Seeing this scene, Zhong Qi Han felt a tightness in his chest.
How dare that woman treat her precious sister like a dog!
Zhong Qi Han immediately turned around to look at Zhong's parents, but saw that they were both smiling, as if they were used to it. They seemed to be sighing about the good relationship between the two sisters, and had no idea that the little princess of the Zhong family was being bullied!
Although Zhong Yanyong had called him before to complain about Kong Xiyan's excessive behavior, it was only after seeing it with his own eyes that Zhong Qihan realized that his brother was not exaggerating and that Kong Xiyan was indeed very dangerous.
"Qi Han, tonight our family is celebrating your sister's success in winning the top scorer in the Nancheng College Entrance Examination. We've prepared a lot of delicious dishes. You've enjoyed this delicious meal since you were little." Liang Qiu didn't know Zhong Qi Han was shocked. He just patted Zhong Qi Han's arm and said softly, "Go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll have the housekeeper call you when dinner is ready."
"Yeah." Zhong Qihan responded, then looked at Kong Xiyan again before going upstairs back to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhong Qihan frowned, and his temples on both sides ached slightly.
At this moment, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw Zhong Qihan answering the call: "Hello."
"Qi Han, I heard from Xiao Song that you left the crew without even saying goodbye?" The voice of your agent Sister Hong came from the other end of the phone.
"The filming is finished, what's the point of staying here?" Zhong Qihan sat on the chair next to him and pressed the solar plexus with his fingertips.
His headache started again. It had been more than two years. He had seen many doctors, done all kinds of tests, and taken a lot of medicine, but it didn't get better at all. Instead, his memory seemed to be getting worse.
"Then you're going to leave all the reporters who want to interview you alone? Now they're going to write nonsense again!" Sister Hong remembered that when she first signed Zhong Qihan, he was quite stable and was a sunny boy who loved to laugh.
How come it has become like this in just over two years?
"Let them be." Zhong Qihan had a splitting headache and his tone became more and more impatient.
It hurts so much...
"You!" Sister Hong didn't know what to say to Zhong Qihan. After all, although Zhong Qihan had a lot of negative news, he also had some good works that could stand the test of time. There were as many people who loved him as there were people who scolded him online. He was an artist who was very popular.
Moreover, Zhong Qihan is the second young master of the richest family in South City. He is not short of money and is a person who does not give in to persuasion.
Sister Hong felt that it was very difficult to strike the right balance in communicating with Zhong Qihan, but she couldn't bear to give up on this promising young talent.
Finally, he could only sigh and say, "I know you've had a hard time filming this time, so I've got you on a family reality show. I've seen your family photos on your phone before, and your siblings are all very good-looking. The filming will be during the summer vacation, and the location will be Xicheng. You can bring your siblings to the show and have some fun. It's going to be very relaxing."
"No." Zhong Qihan refused and hung up the phone. He then held his head with both hands, curled up in pain, and his face turned pale.
At this time, the door of the room was opened a crack.
Zhong Qihan felt someone coming in. Just as he was about to look up, he felt a pain on the back of his neck, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Kong Xiyan withdrew the hand that had knocked Zhong Qihan unconscious, and placed her fingers on Zhong Qihan's pulse again.
After a careful examination, he took out his silver needles and inserted them into several acupuncture points on Zhong Qi Han's head.
Zhong Qihan's complexion turned from pale to rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Kong Xiyan used the needle tip to prick a spot behind Zhong Qihan's ear, and black blood flowed out.
Kong Xiyan obtained the black blood sample and carefully preserved it before taking Zhong Qihan's pulse again. After making sure that Zhong Qihan's condition was stable, she withdrew the silver needle and tiptoed out of Zhong Qihan's room.
On the way back, Kong Xiyan's face looked solemn.
She had never seen this kind of poison before, so she could only test Zhong Qihan's blood before making any plans.
She was able to poison Zhong Qi Han regularly for two and a half years without him noticing.
Either the person who poisoned him must be someone Zhong Qi Han trusts very much; or Zhong Qi Han is really stupid.
Or maybe both.
