Chapter 535: Girlfriends' Night, Men Are Not Welcome
"Ms. Kong." Lucas's voice rang from the stairs: "Are you going out now?"
"Yeah, Stella hasn't gone out for a good walk in all these days." Kong Xiyan replied.
"It's getting late, why not go tomorrow?" Lucas said. "I can plan the whole itinerary."
"It's okay, we're just wandering around here." Starla said, "You're pretty busy too."
Her brother is a very busy man and is currently holding a cross-border video conference. The Wilson family is even larger, and as the future head of the family, Lucas will probably be even busier.
There is also the upcoming memorial service for the housekeeper. Even if it is a small one, there will be a lot to do.
She didn't want the Wilson family to put too much energy and attention on her, which would only make her feel more guilty, and she didn't want to cause trouble for anyone.
"Many activities are only more suitable at night." Marco touched his chin and gave Stella an affirmative look: "I have to say, you are quite knowledgeable."
"We are definitely not talking about the same event!" Stella shook her head quickly.
"Isn't the education you want to provide in this regard a bit extreme?" Kong Xiyan looked at Marco and twitched her mouth.
"Extreme? How could that be?" Marco crossed his arms over his chest. "There are so many bad men in this world. How can we not take precautions early on?"
"How do you tell the good from the bad?" Kong Xiyan raised her eyebrows. "You're not saying that everyone except my family is a bad person, are you?"
"That's not quite right. People are multifaceted. They can possess both the virtues of a good person and the weaknesses of a bad person. This doesn't hinder their functional existence as a human being. The most important thing is how to see through a person's bad side and avoid and protect themselves." Marco nodded and said, "Even saints can fall into hell. Lucifer was once God's beloved angel, wasn't he?"
"That's a very interesting statement." Kong Xiyan asked again, "So you're only planning to use the male model method to get Stella to identify men's strengths and weaknesses. Don't you think this approach is too one-dimensional?"
"Men's shortcomings are universal. Human nature is to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. If you can see one clearly, you can see a hundred million of the same kind clearly." Marco said, "It's a sure win, isn't it?"
"Wow, you always say something very reasonable in strange places." Kong Xiyan looked at Marco and couldn't help but nodded in admiration.
"Thank you for the compliment." Marco saluted politely, then smiled and said, "I'm just fulfilling my father's responsibility and giving my daughter a lesson on how to identify bad men."
"Do you want to take a class like this?" Kong Xiyan turned to look at Stella, who shook her head vigorously.
Starla was using strong body language to express that she didn't want to at all.
"Well, then, let's put your good intentions aside." Kong Xiyan looked at Marco and said, "I believe that in a family as friendly and united as the Wilson family, which respects family, they will definitely give their children full freedom in their education, right?"
"Hmm..." Marco showed a distressed expression, then sighed softly: "Okay, that's it. I'm willing to take a step back, but I also hope that you can take a step back as well."
"How do you want us to retreat?"
"Go see Annie." Marco smiled faintly and looked at Stella. "Stella, although Annie's birth was an accident, you are half-sisters after all. If you can, go visit her. She must be very bored lying down right now."
Hearing Marco's words, Starla nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll go."
Compared to ordering some strange service, she felt that visiting Anne was more acceptable.
In fact, if she had not been afraid of affecting Anne's recuperation, she would have wanted to visit Anne a long time ago.
Village chief Xiao Kong said that Annie was seriously injured and needed to rest.
Damian had also mentioned some things about Annie to her before.
At that time, Damian was swollen like a big bear that was stung by a bee and couldn't open its eyes. Stella applied medicine to him angrily.
So Damian's tone and behavior when he mentioned Anne made Stella suspect that Damian was trying to change the subject to avoid condemnation.
Despite this, Starla listened carefully.
Damian didn't reveal his thoughts immediately, but asked Stella if she minded Anne's presence.
Starla didn't want to pay attention to his little tricks and just shook her head. Then Damian told her a lot.
Damian also lost his biological sister many years ago, and he could understand Anne's pain firsthand, but he cared more about Stella's opinion: "If you don't mind, you can go and see her.
She should...really want to apologize to you in person. If you want to forgive her, then forgive her. If you don't want to forgive her, then forget it.
Anyway, we'll be going home a few days later, and we may not see each other again. Your thoughts are the most important."
Starla remembered Damian's words as she looked at Marco.
Although Damian's face was badly swollen at that time, she could still see caution and heartache on Damian's face.
After agreeing to Marco, Stella followed Kong Xiyan and her group out. Lucas originally wanted to follow, but was rejected by Kong Xiyan on the grounds that "it's a girlfriends' night, men are not welcome."
Hearing that Kong Xiyan classified her as a "best friend", Stara became happy again. She held her face with her hands, and walked away with Kong Xiyan, laughing.
After leaving Wilson Manor, they didn't walk for long, just strolling and chatting along the beach.
"Stella, do you really not mind?" Kong Zhishan looked at Stella: "That Annie is impersonating you, right?"
"I don't mind, and I don't even... have any real feelings about it." Starla shrugged. "If it weren't for Village Chief Xiao Kong and my brother telling me, I wouldn't even know my last name was Wilson. My brother is very good to me, and Xing'ertang is my home."
"Stella, your father probably doesn't mean to ignore your thoughts today. He may just want a harmonious reunion. After all, the Wilson family values family very much." Zhong Yangyang felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Marco asking Stella to visit Annie in the living room.
Perhaps remembering the injustice and misunderstanding Kong Xiyan had suffered when she first came to the Zhong family because of her willfulness, Zhong Yangyang was more concerned about Stella's thoughts.
In Zhong Yangyang's opinion, Stella is a gentle and kind girl. Even if she doesn't want to, she will not refuse her biological father's request.
Just like her sister, she said nothing when she suffered so much unfair treatment in the Zhong family.
Thinking of the past, Zhong Yangyang stepped forward and patted Stella's arm: "If you are unhappy, you must tell us, we will be with you. It's okay if you want to cry, I am very good at comforting people~"
"Ah, that." Stella smiled brightly: "I don't care about this, Yangyang, you don't have to worry about me."
Seeing Stella like this, Kong Xiyan curled the corners of her lips. It's not Stella who should be crying now.
On the other side, as soon as Starla and her group left, Lucas had a quarrel with Marco.
