Chapter 614, Guess who was not invited?
"I have met the old patriarch of the Zhong family."
"Huh?" Kong Xiyan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked up at Luo Zhenxuan.
Luo Zhenxuan blinked at her, not knowing why she suddenly reacted like this, and made a gesture: Do you need me to move aside?
Kong Xiyan didn't answer. She just put the coffee cup aside, reached out and took Luo Zhenxuan's hand that was gesturing, and asked again: "Have you met? What happened? Where? When?"
"An old friend came to me at that time and said he wanted a certain medicinal herb. The old patriarch of the Zhong family happened to have it. I happened to be near South City at that time, so I stopped by to pay him a visit." The voice of the head of the Kong family was still elegant, but he spoke a little slower, as if he was recalling something seriously: "I asked the old patriarch to name a price, but he said he was doing good deeds and refused to accept any money.
Later, I asked someone to take care of the Zhong family's business and gave them a few orders as a way of repaying the favor.
It was more than ten years ago, almost twenty years ago.
With the help of the Kong family, the Zhong family became the richest family in South City.
Kong Xiyan recalled her grandfather who pretended to be mentally retarded and narrowed her eyes slightly.
In Kong Xiyan's opinion, the old man of the Zhong family can be said to be a very shrewd businessman.
Talking about doing good deeds is just wanting greater benefits.
Money has a price. A single medicinal ingredient may only be sold for tens of millions of yuan, but if you make friends with the Kong family, the benefits will be far more than just tens of millions of yuan.
The old man is very capable.
How could such a smart person end up like this?
Kong Xiyan realized that her adoptive grandfather had many secrets, and she made up her mind.
This time when she spends the New Year at Xiyan Paradise, she will definitely find out all the secrets of the Zhong family.
Kong Xiyan chatted with the Kong family head for a few more words before the Kong family head asked, "Your second uncle asked you if Kong Yizhuo can come back for the New Year?"
"Let me calculate." Kong Xiyan counted on her fingers and said, "It's best not to. His disaster hasn't been avoided yet. Coming back now will easily cause trouble."
"Then don't come back. The Meng family was also very angry about that incident last time." The head of the Kong family chuckled and said, "You have met Meng Xichao, right? Is he okay?"
"Still alive."
"It's good to be alive." The head of the Kong family asked about Kong Xiyan and Luo Zhenxuan's relationship and recent situation before hanging up the phone.
"What's wrong? Your expression just now looked a little dangerous." Luo Zhenxuan asked her after seeing Kong Xiyan hang up the phone.
"Nothing, just my dad said he met my grandfather."
"Hmm..." Luo Zhenxuan thought for a moment before asking, "Did Patriarch Kong meet the old Patriarch of the Zhong family?"
"Almost twenty years ago." Kong Xiyan said, "I'm very busy during this Chinese New Year."
"It's okay." Luo Zhenxuan held Kong Xiyan's hand and crossed his fingers: "I'm with you."
"If you have something to do, it's okay if you don't accompany me." Kong Xiyan blinked: "What's wrong with you?"
"No, you, I..." Luo Zhenxuan choked and let go of Kong Xiyan's hand, giving her a blank look.
Do you have some kind of romantic phobia?
"Why are you angry again?" Kong Xiyan picked up the coffee beside her, looking puzzled: "Weren't we all fine just now?"
"I don't want to bother with you." Luo Zhenxuan knew that if he kept arguing with Kong Xiyan about this, he might end up dying of anger. She might not even know what the problem was, so he could only turn his head and change the subject: "Did you spot anyone suspicious?"
"You are the most suspicious right now." Kong Xiyan reached out and lifted Luo Zhenxuan's chin: "If you don't tell me why you are angry, I will never know.
What you think is a small matter now will become a big problem that you cannot get over if it accumulates.
Things that can be resolved with just one sentence can become irreconcilable conflicts.
I'm not very emotionally sensitive, but don't underestimate my ability to solve problems."
"As long as you want to solve it, there won't be any problem." Luo Zhenxuan smiled and felt much better. "I have nothing to do during the New Year. I want to be with you. I hope you will be like me and look forward to spending the New Year together with me."
"But there aren't just the two of us on the island. Let me count. Not counting the filming crew, there's the Zhong family, the Xing Ertang royal family, and I'm also planning to invite Wu Yan and her mother, as well as the entire Kong family. Plus... um?"
Kong Xiyan's microphone was manually muted by Luo Zhenxuan.
"It doesn't matter how many people there are. Just like now, as long as I can see you, that's enough." Luo Zhenxuan looked into Kong Xiyan's eyes and said seriously, "I want to be with you."
"I understand." Kong Xiyan avoided Luo Zhenxuan's hand and said, "I originally planned to arrange a time period just to accompany you, but now it seems that it is not necessary, right? Then I... um? Why are you angry again?"
"Do you dare to delete this time period when you spend time with me alone from your schedule?" Luo Zhenxuan raised his eyebrows dangerously.
"I won't delete it anymore! I won't delete it no matter who comes!" Kong Xiyan shook her head fiercely, full of desire to survive: "I definitely won't delete it anymore!"
"Hmph." Luo Zhenxuan snorted softly, then saw Meng Xichao approaching from a distance. He immediately curled his lips and asked in a low voice, "He shouldn't be here, right?"
"The Meng family is in a mess, I didn't plan to invite them." Kong Xiyan replied in a low voice.
"Can I be angry with him then?"
"As long as you're happy." Kong Xiyan said casually.
Meng Xi walked up to the two of them and asked, "Xiyan, what are you talking about?"
"We are talking about this year's Chinese New Year." Luo Zhenxuan said with a smile.
"Oh? I remember when Xiyan was a child, she didn't even know what Chinese New Year was. She just knew that she could get lucky money by saying some auspicious words. You even concluded that Chinese New Year was a meaningless social waste of words." Meng Xichao began to chat with Kong Xiyan about the past in front of Luo Zhenxuan.
"Because it's very tiring. I have to smile all the time. If people see me not smiling, they will say it's unlucky." Kong Xiyan frowned. She really didn't like the Chinese New Year before.
There are many things that cannot be said.
At that time, she calculated that the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings would encounter disasters. She clearly said it out loud to warn the other party, but it turned into a curse.
Because of this incident, more people called her a monster.
Kong Xiyan recalled carefully and thought that the person who was most excited during the Chinese New Year should be Kong Yizhuo, who often made all kinds of weird firecrackers.
Although that kid would be beaten if he couldn't laugh for more than three days, my second uncle's patience could only last three days at most.
But at least I laughed.
"Didn't I teach you how to smile? Did you forget? It doesn't matter, I'll teach you again, just like when we were kids." Meng Xichao stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Kong Xiyan's cheek, but Luo Zhenxuan rudely slapped him away.
"Mr. Meng, my Xiyan has a very sweet smile." Luo Zhenxuan's smile didn't reach his eyes: "It's just that you haven't seen it."
"Really?" Meng Xichao glanced at Luo Zhenxuan. "Xiyan has been through so many things since she was little. There are many things Young Master Luo hasn't seen."
"Haha, Master Meng was just asking what Xiyan and I were talking about, right?" Luo Zhenxuan said, "We were talking about meeting our parents during the Chinese New Year. After all, we're together now, so we have to formally arrange a meeting between the families. We've invited a lot of people to have fun together.
Guess who wasn't invited?
It’s you~”
