Chapter 587 Persuading Zhou Qiao
Kong Wange arrived at 2 p.m. that day.
The moment Zhou Qiao saw her, she almost burst into tears.
She rushed over and grabbed her arm, exclaiming, "Sister Kong, you've finally come to see me!"
Kong Wange still felt a little guilty towards Zhou Qiao.
When Zhou Sihai passed away, she promised the old man to help take care of Zhou Qiao. However, the Wen family's conflict ended just in time for the end of the year, and a series of events afterwards left her with no way to extricate herself.
It wasn't until two days ago that she finally managed to sort things out for Wen Zhihan.
I had originally planned to visit Zhou Qiao in the next few days, but I didn't expect her to contact me first.
Upon seeing the people, Kong Wange smiled and said, "The environment of this Shadow Gate is quite nice, with pavilions and towers, much better than I imagined. How are you finding your accommodation?"
"I'm not used to it!" Zhou Qiao said as she pulled her into her room. As soon as they sat down at the table, she said urgently, "Sister Kong, please take me away quickly. I don't want to stay by Qin Da Mo's... Qin Feng's side for even a day longer!"
Kong Wange glanced at the fruit and vegetable milk tea on the table, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Oh?" "What did he do to you that made you so angry?"
"He exploits my labor and tortures me in every way imaginable. I can't eat or sleep well here, and I'm starting to get anxiety disorder. Sister Kong, you have to save me!" Zhou Qiao said with tears in her eyes.
Kong Wange hissed and pointed to the food on the table: "Qiaoqiao, I'm not trying to be mean, but you clearly put a lot of thought into decorating this room. This fruit, it must have just been shipped from Shanghai, right? This seafood, you can only buy this quality in H country. And these candies and pastries, they're all limited editions from M country. Not only are they expensive, but they're also hard to buy. I tried to snatch some for my kids before, but I couldn't get any."
Zhou Qiao was stunned for a moment: "Huh? But these past few days they've been bringing them to my room like they're free cabbages."
Kong Wange sighed, patted her, and said earnestly, "Qiaoqiao, no matter what, you're an adult now. You need to be more sensible. I think Master Qin treats you well. He hasn't neglected your accommodations or food. Look at how luxurious your place is and how delicious your food is. That's enough. What more do you want? I think you brought this anxiety on yourself."
Zhou Qiao: "?"
She stared at Kong Wange in disbelief and said, "Sister Kong, how could it be my fault? You don't know how perverted that Qin Feng is! He gave me such a long cross-stitch, I could never finish it in my whole life."
"That's not all, he even makes me farm! Back in the Imperial Academy, my grandfather forced me to farm, and now he's forcing me to farm here too. What else is he but exploiting my labor? He's just finding ways to torment me!"
"Qiaoqiao, you said it yourself, that Qin Feng is a big devil. If that big devil really wanted to mess with you, would he need to go to such lengths? I think you've misunderstood him. Maybe he didn't mean it that way at all?" Kong Wange said calmly.
"Sister Kong, whose side are you on?!" Zhou Qiao was having an existential crisis: "Even if these weren't his intentions, and were just my imagination, it's true that he won't let me leave, right? Don't you know how many little brats he's raising, who follow me around like shadows every day, not letting me leave the Shadow Gate even a step? He's restricting my personal freedom, imprisoning me, and you still dare to speak up for him?!"
Kong Wange shook her head, picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste spread through her mouth. While enjoying the delicious grape, she said, "Qiaoqiao, what are you saying? If you weren't thinking about running away, would he have imprisoned you?"
Zhou Qiao was stunned for a moment: "Sister Kong, what you said seems to make sense..."
She then suddenly realized, "No, Sister Kong, whose side are you on? Why are you siding with the big devil? What do you mean I want to run away? Shouldn't I run away?!"
Seeing that she was getting agitated again, Kong Wange quickly pulled her aside and comforted her, saying, "That's not what I meant. It's just that even if you run, where can you run to?"
She analyzed the pros and cons for her one by one: "Look, Qin Feng hasn't really done anything to you these past few days, has he? You have no worries about food and drink here, but what if you go out? Making a living is the first thing to consider. And that's not all. You're just a young girl, and you look easy to bully. If you go out and rent a place, what if you get bullied? You'll regret it then!"
Zhou Qiao pursed her lips: "But I can't stay here forever, can I?"
Kong Wange paused in her grape-eating motion: "It's not that you have to stay here forever, but staying here is definitely the best choice for you right now. You can also consider starting your own business while you're here. As long as you're financially independent, you can go anywhere in the future."
Kong Wange's words struck a chord with Zhou Qiao. Although she was determined to leave, how to maintain her life after leaving was indeed a problem.
She's been busy outwitting Qin Feng and those teenagers lately, so she hasn't really thought about this matter properly.
Seeing that she was silent, Kong Wange knew that she had taken it to heart, so she was relieved. She simply chatted with her about this and that for a while, and finally, seeing that her mood had stabilized a lot, she stood up and said, "Alright, since you don't have anything important to do here, I'll be going now."
"So early?" Although Zhou Qiao said that wanting to chat with Kong Wange was an excuse to leave Yingmen, it was true that she was usually not a talkative person. She had been chatting with Kong Wange for a while and felt very comfortable with her. She was quite reluctant to see her leave.
"You should just stay here and relax. When things are more right, you can leave if you want, okay?"
Zhou Qiao sighed, thinking to herself that her sister Kong still couldn't understand her suffering.
However, besides the fact that she needed to find a way to make money, there was something else that Sister Kong reminded her of.
The main reason she struggled so much to leave but couldn't was that all her emotions were written on her face. Qin Feng knew she wanted to escape, so naturally he wouldn't give her freedom.
But what if...she shows no intention of running away at all?
If Qin Feng, the great demon, lowers his guard, does that mean she has a chance to escape?
Thinking about it this way, Zhou Qiao's heart warmed up again.
She made up her mind to find a way to make money while simultaneously using a conciliatory approach to lull the big devil into a false sense of security. This way, she could definitely escape quickly and smoothly, and get away from this sea of suffering!
Kong Wange was unaware of the thoughts in her mind. She simply assumed that she agreed with everything she said and said with relief, "You always viewed Master Qin with prejudice before, so it's inevitable that you have some biases. If you have anything to say, just talk to him directly later, which can reduce misunderstandings."
Zhou Qiao obediently replied, "I understand, Sister Kong. If you're leaving, I'll see you off. We can chat on the way out."
Kong Wange didn't refuse and nodded, "Okay."
On the way from the room to the gate, Kong Wange kept reminding Zhou Qiao not to keep her unhappiness to herself and to remember to call her if she was unhappy.
Because she was so focused on talking, she didn't notice a man coming from the side and accidentally bumped into him.
