Chapter 688, Zhihua, Don’t Blame Me
Kong Xiyan looked at Meng Zhihuan with tender eyes.
"Sister Xiyan..." Meng Zhihuan's eyes moved slightly. Her face did not show the embarrassment of having her disguise seen through, but an apology spreading from the bottom of her heart.
"You already know what happened on the ship, right?" When Kong Xiyan saw Meng Zhihuan's expression, she knew that she must know everything, so she came to her in such a hurry.
On the boat, Meng Xichao violated the agreement between the Kong and Meng families and shot her.
Kong Xiyan is fine, it's Kong Xiyan's ability.
But since Meng Xichao had taken the action of firing the gun, even if he was beaten to death by Kong Xiyan, it was Meng Xichao's fault.
Although Meng Xichao had put many obstacles in Kong Xiyan's way before, there was still room for recovery.
This time, Meng Xichao took things to the extreme.
"I'm sorry." Meng Zhihuan lowered her head. "I'm really sorry."
"You're not the one who should apologize." Kong Xiyan reached out and lifted Meng Zhihuan's chin. Looking at Meng Zhihuan's tearful eyes, Kong Xiyan chuckled softly, "From childhood to adulthood, haven't you apologized enough on his behalf?"
Meng Xichao has been a beast since he was young, a pure beast.
Different from the meticulous thinking of today.
When Meng Xichao was a child, his methods of scheming against others were very clumsy and he was often seen through.
At that time, Meng Zhihuan would stand beside Meng Xichao, constantly apologizing and asking everyone to forgive her brother's ignorance.
Compared with the "ignorant" Meng Xichao, Meng Zhihuan is too sensible.
Before she had the chance to be willful, she was forced to grow up.
My dad doesn't love me, my mom isn't around, and I have a shady brother who's always causing trouble.
"Sister Xiyan, you took care of us so much when we were little and even saved my brother's life. I..." Meng Zhihuan felt that no matter what she said now, it would not be able to offset the bad things Meng Xichao had done.
"You are you, and Meng Xichao is Meng Xichao." Kong Xiyan patted Meng Zhihuan's shoulder gently: "Zhihuan, it would be best if you can stop him.
If you can’t…
Zhihua, don't blame me."
Meng Zhihuan was stunned. She knew very well what Kong Xiyan had not said.
If Meng Xichao is really in cahoots with Master, then Kong Xiyan will only have one choice.
After all, it was Meng Xichao who fired the first shot, and Kong Xiyan could have gotten rid of Meng Xichao directly before.
Because of her, Kong Xiyan was willing to give Meng Xichao another chance.
In her current situation, what right does she have to blame Kong Xiyan?
After taking a deep breath, Meng Zhihuan looked at Kong Xiyan and said, "Sister Xiyan, thank you. I understand."
"Be good." Kong Xiyan curled the corners of her lips: "I knew you were a smart kid, completely different from your brother. He's stupid."
So stupid.
How dare you to seek the skin of a tiger?
There were so many tragic examples right in front of him, but he still plunged into it.
Isn’t this sick?
"Sister Xiyan, there's one more thing." Meng Zhihuan's eyes moved slightly: "Grandpa said he wants to see you before the New Year."
"I understand." Kong Xiyan nodded.
She really should go to the Meng family.
"Sister Xiyan, I'll go back first and not disturb you anymore." Meng Zhihuan raised her hand to wipe away her tears and showed a forced smile.
"Don't worry, come with me first." Kong Xiyan took Meng Zhihuan out of the door and walked to the other side.
Crossing the corner, the two entered a milk tea shop.
Kong Xiyan ordered a cup of milk tea and handed it to Meng Zhihuan: "I love this, try it."
"Um, okay." Meng Zhihuan took the milk tea with some surprise: "Sister Xiyan, do you like eating this now?"
"Yeah." Kong Xiyan nodded and said, "Try it."
Meng Zhihuan took a sip and was a little surprised: "It's not particularly sweet, it has a rich milky aroma, a delicate tea fragrance, and..."
"That's Bobo Pearls. They have a very unique taste, right?" Kong Xiyan looked at Meng Zhihuan and said with a smile, "This must be added with Bobo Pearls to have the soul."
"So that's how it is..." Meng Zhihuan nodded with an attitude of "learning until old age".
"Okay, drink it on your way back." Kong Xiyan patted Meng Zhihuan's shoulder, carrying the other two cups of packaged milk tea and said, "I still have to deliver milk tea to Shanshan and Yangyang, and I also made an appointment with Luo Laosan to take Moya and Changshou to buy new clothes for the New Year.
I won’t entertain you.”
"Sister Xiyan." Meng Zhihuan looked at Kong Xiyan and smiled brightly: "That's great, you look very happy now."
After saying this, Meng Zhihuan turned around and left with the cup of milk tea.
Kong Xiyan blinked, drank her milk tea, and tilted her head to look at Meng Zhihuan's back.
Does she...look happy...?
Kong Xiyan brought milk tea to meet Zhong Yangyang and Kong Zhishan.
The two are still working on their project in the library.
After handing the milk tea to the two of them, Kong Xiyan went straight to the laboratory.
When it was time to wrap up, Kong Xiyan gathered everyone together and said, "Let's stop here for this year's project for now. We are making very good progress now.
In addition, I have applied for project bonuses for everyone, and it is estimated that it will be deposited into your account within seven working days.
The amount is not large, but it is my token of my appreciation. I wish everyone a happy new year.
Thank you for your support and care this year, and please give us your guidance next year."
Kong Xiyan smiled at the crowd and listened to the "Wow" and cheers of "The boss is so generous".
"Xiao Kong, come in for a moment." Professor Du coughed lightly at the door of the office.
"Okay~" Kong Xiyan responded and said to everyone, "Remember to finish all the finishing work before leaving today."
"receive!"
Amidst everyone's excited discussions, Kong Xiyan went to Professor Du's office and asked, "What's going on?"
"Your attendance this year is very poor." Professor Du glanced at Kong Xiyan and said, "As the project leader, you are..."
"Professor Du, isn't it a bit boring to enforce my attendance now?" Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched as she said, "How about I not come next year? You can find someone else to take over the project?"
"Tsk!" Professor Du tutted and glared at Kong Xiyan. "You'll die if you give in to me! Who else can take on this project besides you? If you dare to quit again, you'll see!"
"Look at you, you're anxious again." Kong Xiyan said with a smile: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. This trick doesn't suit you."
Professor Du rolled his eyes at her and continued, "Then I won't beat around the bush with you. There's a meeting in North City the day after tomorrow. Come with me. It'll only take a few hours. This will be helpful for your awards after the New Year."
"Professor Du, I..."
"Don't say you're not interested in the award!" Professor Du slammed the table. "You're not interested in this, you're not interested in that! You're not interested in anything that's good for you! This award is of great significance and will greatly benefit your future research. You have to go, whether you want to or not!"
Seeing Professor Du like this, Kong Xiyan sighed and said, "Okay."
Anyway, it was time for her to go to North City to meet the head of the Meng family.
Oh, by the way, I have to go to the Ye family in North City.
