Chapter 744, Cause and Effect
When the old patriarch of the Zhong family heard Kong Xiyan's words, he did not respond. He just sighed and nodded weakly.
"The Zhong family's ability to become the richest family in South City isn't just due to the Kong family's help, right?
The Zhong family also borrowed their luck from the Master. Kong Xiyan's eyes were clear and understanding. "When Xiaoyong was born, it was the Zhong family's luck that was flowing back, right?"
“At that time, I didn’t know there would be such a huge price to pay, but he said he would help the Zhong family.
It's true that your second uncle is smart, but he is also irresponsible. He runs away when encountering problems, and then uses sweet words to coax your grandmother.
Your father is a responsible man, but he is too dull and stupid.
I looked at my two sons and I was so anxious!
A three-year-old can tell a lot about his eighty years. I can foresee their future, but I don’t see any hope for the Zhong family in them. I’m so anxious!
So, I took the wrong path, the path that I shouldn’t have taken.”
"What happens next?" Kong Xiyan asked him.
"After that, the Zhong family really took off. They became the richest family in South City, what a glorious time." The old patriarch of the Zhong family recalled that time, and the light in his eyes was very bright, but soon, that light dimmed: "But it was only for a few years, and the price was too high.
People should not covet things that do not belong to them.
Luck, what is luck?
It was just a dream after all."
The old patriarch of the Zhong family shook his head and shed two lines of tears.
"Do you know whose luck you borrowed?"
"It's Master's." The Zhong family's old patriarch looked at Kong Xiyan and said, "Everyone who has borrowed luck from Master will know exactly where this luck comes from."
"Master actually borrows his own luck?" Kong Xiyan was a little confused at first, but then she suddenly realized: "No wonder, my luck is connected to his."
“Ah.” The old patriarch of the Zhong family sighed and said, “Xiyan, I originally wanted to take this matter to my grave.
After all, it's not glorious.
But I know that even if I really die, this matter will not be over, so... I still decided to tell you.
Whatever happens from now on is up to you.
The Zhong family is yours."
"I don't want it." Kong Xiyan refused outright: "I have enough burdens on my shoulders. You should give it to someone who needs it. I don't need it."
"Xiyan..."
"Besides, it's not necessarily me you're interested in, right?" Kong Xiyan said with a smile, "You're interested in the Kong family behind me, because you think the Kong family can help the Zhong family achieve glory again.
Grandpa, you suffered such a big loss before, you should learn some lessons.
Many things cannot be forced.
My eldest brother is very capable and there is no problem for him to take over the Zhong family's business.
The second brother has a good image and can hold his own as the Zhong family's external face.
Xiaoyong... is still alive.
As for Yangyang...you have already taken advantage of her a lot, just let her go, she should have her own life.
Old man, your descendants will have their own blessings. Just take care of yourself.
When you close your eyes, everything becomes dust."
After saying this, Kong Xiyan waved her hand and was about to walk out.
"Xiyan." The old patriarch of the Zhong family said to Kong Xiyan's back: "I want to hand over the Zhong family to you. It has nothing to do with the Kong family.
It would be better to say that the existence of the Kong family would create an extra layer of concern.
Just like how the Zhong family swallowed up so many small and medium-sized enterprises, it would be easy for the Kong family to swallow up the Zhong family.
I just think you're great.
From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were good."
Kong Xiyan was slightly startled when she heard this, then turned to the old patriarch of the Zhong family and smiled calmly: "I know, many people have said it."
After saying this, Kong Xiyan left the room of the old patriarch of the Zhong family without looking back.
When she reached the stairs, Kong Xiyan saw Luo Zhenxuan leaning against the handrail with one hand in his pocket and the other fiddling with his cell phone.
"Hey~ What are you doing?" Kong Xiyan looked at Luo Zhenxuan with a normal tone.
"Waiting for you." Luo Zhenxuan locked the phone screen: "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Kong Xiyan blinked.
"Be the referee."
"?"
Kong Xiyan was taken to the rocks near the sea with a confused look on her face.
Over there, Kong Zhian was baiting his fishhook. Seeing Luo Zhenxuan bringing Kong Xiyan over, his eyes lit up at first, then he frowned and said, "Why are you wasting my sister's time again?"
"I've told you before, some time is meant to be wasted." Luo Zhenxuan helped Kong Xiyan sit on a folding chair: "He chose this place."
"Didn't you go fishing this morning?" Kong Xiyan remembered that the two of them had talked about going to a competition early in the morning yesterday.
"Morning, doesn't count." Kong Zhian blushed.
"Hmm?" Kong Xiyan looked at Luo Zhenxuan.
"This morning... it was a draw." Luo Zhenxuan coughed lightly. "He caught a pile of seaweed, and I caught... a message in a bottle."
"At least mine is from the sea."
"A message in a bottle isn't something you'd throw into an ornamental pond."
"Puchi." Kong Xiyan held her chin with one hand and laughed out loud: "Sure enough, the fisherman can catch anything except fish! Hahahaha!"
"Just wait and see, I'm sure I'll catch a big fish today!" Luo Zhenxuan reached out and poked Kong Xiyan's face: "Then you can just wait to worship me!"
"Come on, Immortal Bait Master! The revival of the fish school depends on you!"
"Pfft." Kong Zhian also laughed out loud, then quickly restrained his expression, sorted out his fishing line, and went to fish, muttering, "Anyway, I won't lose."
After Luo Zhenxuan cast out the baited hook and found a place to secure the fishing rod, he came over and sat down next to Kong Xiyan: "How was it? Did you have a good chat with the old patriarch?"
"Yeah." Kong Xiyan responded and relayed what the Zhong family's old patriarch had told her to Luo Zhenxuan. She looked at the calm water, watching the ripples left by the wind: "Everything has its own destiny. Every little bit depends on fate."
"Do you believe it?"
"Hmm?" Kong Xiyan turned to look at Luo Zhenxuan: "Grandpa doesn't seem to be lying."
This kind of thing is not glorious.
At this age, he can take the initiative to talk about his past, which is enough to prove that the old man has made a great determination.
"No, I'm not talking about your grandfather. I'm talking about Master." Luo Zhenxuan said, "He's a man who thinks ahead. He wouldn't just abandon a family that's borrowing his fortune."
"So... he made this move deliberately from the beginning." Kong Xiyan narrowed her eyes: "Yes, even the previous Master couldn't win over my dad, so why should he?
From the very beginning, Master knew that the medicinal herb could not attract my father, and his target from the beginning to the end was the Zhong family.
He gave me some sweet treats and baited me, making my grandfather willingly borrow his luck.
Then, using the connection of fortune as the cause, one gets a result that is carefully calculated.
That is... me! "
