Chapter 350: Why
In the blink of an eye, it was about twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
After Gao Pinglan arranged the nanny's cooking, she returned to the living room, she didn't think about cooking by herself, but according to today's matter, where is she in the mood to do it. As for Cao Lang, he didn't think about leaving for the time being, it wasn't that he was thinking about eating this meal, but that he really wanted to know what would happen next! What's more, Zhou Xingyun had already said before, let him wait for the words that were leaving, since he said it, there was nothing abnormal about him staying.
Of course, this homeopathic Cao Lang really didn't want to face it, because he could be said to be uncomfortable sitting here, after all, what happened to him and Zhou Xingyun before, how could he not know it.
Knowing is knowing, but some things are uncertain, and he really doesn't dare to say anything about running away. After all, if there was an accident, then he would know later that he would not regret dying.
Among them, Kong Dahai did not snub Cao Lang, but looking at Cao Lang's far-fetched smile that I want to be a quiet and beautiful man, Kong Dahai could only helplessly let Cao Lang "entertain himself"! Of course, only Cao Lang himself knows how happy it is.
At this moment, as soon as Gao Pinglan returned to the living room and sat down, Zhou Xingyun's phone suddenly rang.
This made everyone's nerves tense suddenly, they all looked at Zhou Xingyun, and even their eyes were a little shining, Zhou Xingyun looked at the caller ID on his mobile phone, and then looked at everyone's expressions, and immediately became happy, "Uncle Kong, it's my mother's phone, you really don't have to be nervous!" β
"Well, isn't this a mess!" But. I thought so, but everyone didn't dare to say it. It just feels like this call didn't come at the right time.
As soon as the phone was connected, Zhou Xingyun said with a smile on his face. "Mom, are you idle again?"
In fact, if you talk about it, Li Qin really hasn't called Zhou Xingyun less these days, either to talk about things at home for a while, or to gossip about the situation of Su Shishi and others, etc.
At this time, as soon as Li Qin heard Zhou Xingyun's words, he was a little dissatisfied and said, "What is called idleness." Your wife, I can't call you if I'm not idle? β
"Where's it, there's it!" Zhou Xingyun said with a flattering face, "It's my honor for you to call me." β
"Puff ......" Looking at Zhou Xingyun's funny expression, Kong Ling suddenly couldn't help but be happy, if it rested on a normal person's body, due to the distance, this Li Qin was really not easy to hear, but now that Li Qin has taken a few physique pills, her ears and eyes are better than before. There have been a lot of changes, so even if Kong Ling's voice is not very loud, it was listened to by Li Qin.
As soon as I heard Kong Ling's voice. Li Qin's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Who are you with now?" β
"Huh!" Zhou Xingyun glanced at Kong Ling helplessly. "It's just a friend!"
"Oh!" Li Qin smiled and said, "It should be a girl." Do I know you? β
"It's not!" Zhou Xingyun was a little helpless again.
"It's not!" Li Qin smiled, "You also know mom and me." I love to talk to you young people, so give the girl the phone and let's have a chat! β
"I'm dizzy!" Zhou Xingyun was stunned and said, "Mom, you don't know people well, what are you talking about!" β
"You care about me!" Li Qin didn't have a good breath and said, "Don't give me nonsense, hurry up!" β
In this regard, Zhou Xingyun really didn't know what to say, he smiled helplessly, and said to Kong Ling who was not far away, "My mother said that she wanted to talk to you a few words, of course, if you don't want to talk, then forget it!" β
Before Kong Ling could reply, Li Qin seemed to hear Zhou Xingyun's words, and immediately shouted, "You stinky boy didn't mean it, where did you say you don't want to talk, just forget it, hurry up and say a few good words to your mother!" β
"Poof......" Hearing the voice on the phone, Kong Ling couldn't help but be happy, and then she smiled and said, "Auntie, don't listen to Xiaoyun's nonsense, I'm happy to chat with you!" β
While speaking, Kong Ling snatched the phone from Zhou Xingyun's hand with a smile and said, "Auntie, hello!" β
"Hehe, you're okay too!" Li Qin blinked his eyes and said, "By the way, girl, what's your name!" β
"Auntie, my name is Kong Ling, you can call me Xiaoling, or Ling'er." Kong Ling said with a smile.
"Oh!" Li Qin smiled again and said, "By the way, Aunt Xiaoling likes to chat with people on WeChat video or QQ video, I don't know if it's convenient for you?" β
"......" Kong Ling.
Although he was a little speechless, Kong Ling still secretly smiled bitterly and said, "It's more convenient!" β
was directly ignored by Li Qin, she smiled and said, "Then let's use WeChat to chat, you wait for me to WeChat you, by the way, if you open a mobile phone WeChat, we can also chat and play when we have time in the future, anyway, Auntie is quite idle every day!" β
"Huh!" Kong Ling smiled silently at Zhou Xingyun, and then said to Li Qin, "Then Auntie, I'll tell you the phone, you can add me directly on WeChat!" β
"Okay, Auntie thinks so too!" Li Qin laughed.
For this reason, Kong Ling was speechless for a while, and then, she told Li Qin her phone number. Not long after finishing speaking, Li Qin said, "Ling'er, I have already added you to WeChat, you can pass GuΓ², and the other thing is, you can directly give the phone to that kid!" β
"Okay, Auntie!" After finishing speaking, Kong Ling returned the phone to Zhou Xingyun.
Zhou Xingyun also probably knew the end of some things at this moment, because Su Shishi and the others had gone through some of the same things here in Li Qin one by one.
As soon as the phone was brought over, Zhou Xingyun smiled bitterly, "Mom, you won't want to add Xiaoling's WeChat, right?"
"It's not my son, it's smart!" Li Qin smiled and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to give Ling'er a video first, by the way, you kid should also pay more attention to your body!" β
Zhou Xingyun smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, I will definitely pay more attention to my body, but if you want to talk about this video chat, will you wait until the evening to say okay?" β
"Why?" Li Qin was a little dissatisfied.
"Because there are still a lot of things on my side, and they are also very important to Xiaoling. At the same time, she is also waiting for a phone call! Zhou Xingyun said helplessly.
"I see!" Li Qin was a little disappointed and said, "That's okay." I'll just wait until the evening to talk about it, and you kid will remember to tell SΓΉ Ling'er later. When she's done, ask her to send me a message! β
"Got it, Mom!"
"Okay, that's it, remember not to forget to ask Xiaoling to give me a message!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Stinky boy!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Xingyun heard a beep from his mobile phone, and as soon as Zhou Xingyun put away the phone, he smiled bitterly at Kong Ling. "My mom, send her a message when you're fine, and besides, she said I'm going to video chat with you at night!"
"No problem." Kong Ling grinned, and then couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Xiaoyun, Auntie is really a music teacher?" β
"Do I need to lie to you!" Zhou Xingyun said with a smile, "Actually, if I didn't have a powerful master, I wouldn't be much better than an ordinary person." Of course, I won't tell you who my master is, so you don't have to think about asking about this! β
"You're so boring!" Kong Ling muttered.
Kong Ling's voice just fell again. Zhou Xingyun's phone rang again, and everyone was slightly stunned, and then their eyes focused on Zhou Xingyun again.
Zhou Xingyun glanced at the phone number. Then came Ichiraku, "This time!" β
Zhou Xingyun's words came out. Everyone's nerves immediately rose to the highest point, and they looked at Zhou Xingyun with great concern.
Zhou Xingyun smiled slightly. I connected the phone, "How is Xiaoyu's situation?" β
"After I learned some information about one of our departments, and then asked them to find a way to contact and communicate, the final result was that the amount of extortion was reduced to as low as five million US dollars, which is also their bottom line!"
"Five million?!" Hearing this number, Zhou Xingyun was slightly surprised, and then he nodded thoughtfully, it seems that there are really a lot of dark forces behind this Z fund, if it weren't for this, this pirate would definitely not be so face-giving, after all, these pirates even some countries pay attention to, so doesn't it explain some problems?
Thinking slightly, Zhou Xingyun asked with a smile, "Can't it be less?" β
Liu whispered and smiled bitterly, "Young Master, I also asked the person in charge below, according to what they said, it is indeed difficult to be less, of course, we can also use the method of threatening them, but the result of that will either let them release them unconditionally, or the fish will die and the net will be broken, I don't think you want to see that situation, right?" β
"Well, then I understand!" Zhou Xingyun nodded, "Then give them the money directly and let them release them immediately!" β
"Okay young master!" Liu whispered in response.
When Zhou Xingyun hung up the phone, even though Kong Dahai had expected something, he still couldn't wait to ask, "Xiaoyun, what's the situation?" β
Zhou Xingyun said with a wry smile, "Although they agreed to reduce the amount, they still asked for five million US dollars, and I asked the people on my side to give them the money, and it won't be long before you can get in touch with that side!" β
"Really?" Kong Dahai was so excited, as for the five million dollars, he almost ignored it, not to mention the rest, with his own remaining family funds, he could easily come up with the five million dollars.
After finishing speaking, Kong Dahai suddenly came to his senses again, saying this, isn't it equivalent to not believing Zhou Xingyun, he hurriedly said again, "Xiaoyun, I'm sorry for you!" β
"As it should be!" Zhou Xingyun smiled slightly.
Kong Ling looked at Zhou Xingyun with a strange expression at the moment, "I didn't expect you to be quite powerful!" β
"That's, you don't look at me either!" Zhou Xingyun looked proud.
"Haha!" Kong Dahai and the three of them laughed loudly, but Cao Lang in this was an exception, because he knew very well what kind of relationship he had with Zhou Xingyun, so Cao Lang's face not only did not look good, but became a little ugly.
After everyone laughed, Zhou Xingyun looked at Cao Lang with a smile and said, "You have finished watching the drama that you should watch, I believe that you don't need me to say more about you and you understand what to do, and the other thing is that after you leave the Kong family, I don't want to hear even a trace of rumors about me in the outside world, of course, if I hear it, there is no problem, but you have to consider the future whereabouts of your parents!" β
Being so threatened. Or in person, so to speak. This was the first time in Cao Lang's life, but he also knew it in his heart. It's impossible not to bow his head this time, unless he doesn't care about his parents' status at all!
"Whew!" Cao Lang took two deep breaths, then closed his eyes and opened them again, "I understand, is there anything else?" β
"No more!" Zhou Xingyun said lightly, for a person like Cao Lang, Zhou Xingyun has never thought of giving a good face, and it is impossible to give a good face.
"Can I go, then?" Cao Lang wanted to leave directly, but he was also worried that Zhou Xingyun would be dissatisfied because of this. Therefore, even if he is holding his breath in his heart, he can only endure it, of course, the most important thing is that he also knows very well in his heart who gave him the current status now, if he really loses his parents. Cao Lang believes that he will definitely have a hard time in the future, after all, there are not a few people he has offended before.
And in his circle. There are also too many facts that have taught him how to behave when facing people from larger backgrounds.
Hearing Cao Lang's words, Zhou Xingyun waved his hand. "Let's go!"
Looking at Zhou Xingyun's casual hand-waving movements, Cao Lang felt a big hatred in his heart, but no matter how hateful he was. He also knows that he endures and is inferior to others. And what can he do, and. Worried that Zhou Xingyun had other opinions about him, Cao Lang also showed some far-fetched smiles on his face and said to Kong Dahai and Gao Pinglan, "Uncle Kong, Aunt Gao, I'm leaving!" β
Even though Kong Dahai knew that Cao Lang didn't want to stay here for a second, he still said politely, "Why don't you finish eating here and leave?" β
"No need!" Cao Lang smiled bitterly and said, "I still have something to do outside, I have to deal with it quickly!" β
"Alright then!" Kong Dahai smiled helplessly, and said to Gao Pinglan, "Pinglan go and send it down, Xiaolang!" β
"Yes!" Gao Pinglan nodded immediately, and to put it mildly, Gao Pinglan still has a lot of good feelings towards Cao Lang, one, Cao Lang's appearance is extraordinary, and the other is that when Cao Lang was in front of her, he maintained a hypocritical and modest face, but well, if you talk about it, this is all before, since today's incident has passed, Gao Pinglan's good impression of Cao Lang has decreased a lot, after all, the way people deal with certain things will also bring different feelings to others.
When Gao Pinglan sent Cao Lang to a car in the courtyard of the villa, Cao Lang hesitated and said, "Auntie, today's matter ......."
"Today's events?" Gao Pinglan understood Cao Lang's thoughts after a little pondering, she smiled lightly, "No matter what the matter is, I don't think it will implicate your parents, after all, if Xiaoyun really wants to do something, I won't let you stay, I think Xiaoyun may have heard some things about your parents from Xiaoling, so he didn't do too much, so you can rest assured in this regard, even if it really doesn't work, Auntie can help you talk to you, after all, I have a good relationship with your mother!" β
"Thank you then, Auntie!" Cao Lang said with some apologies and gratitude, sorry, naturally he looked at Gao Pinglan in the past, but in fact, he didn't look at it very much in his heart, is he grateful, naturally he was grateful for Gao Pinglan's help.
And if you talk about it, Cao Lang is not a bad person, first, Cao Lang's family education is also stricter, especially Cao Lang's mother is the strictest discipline of the former, and second, Cao Lang is a little selfish, arrogant and lustful, but as a normal man, he was born in an official family, if he didn't have a little arrogance, it would be hell. If it weren't for that, Kong Ling wouldn't have helped Cao Lang's parents say anything good to Zhou Xingyun before.
Then, after Gao Pinglan and Cao Lang chatted a few words, Cao Lang drove away.
When Gao Ping, the blue shirt uΓ n, the couch, the naon roast, the smack, the chew, the poison, the pure form of the scorpion, the U dust, the brain, the witty edge, the eight gears of the target, the trance, the bluff, the beech, the lining
When Kong Dahai hung up the phone, Gao Pinglan asked, "What's the matter, you are so happy!" β
Kong Dahai took a deep breath and said with a happy face, "There is news from the country, saying that our hijacked ship is already returning!" β
"Really!" When Gao Pinglan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, he was still a little suspicious of Zhou Xingyun, but he suddenly disappeared without a trace at this moment.
After answering, Gao Pinglan looked at Zhou Xingyun and said gratefully, "Thank you Xiaoyun!" β
"Huh!" Zhou Xingyun smiled and said, "Auntie, you are too polite, just because I am Xiaoling's friend." I should be helping with this too! β
Gao Pinglan smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's a small favor in your eyes." But for our family, it was a lifesaver. In the future, if you can use the place of your uncle and aunt. Speak up! β
"Definitely, definitely!" Zhou Xingyun smiled and nodded.
Gao Pinglan wanted to say something, but Kong Dahai smiled and said, "Okay, hurry up and go to the kitchen to see if the meal is good, even if Xiaoyun is not hungry, I can't stand it!" β
"You're a rice bucket!" Gao Pinglan shook her head amusedly, and said to Zhou Xingyun, "Then you guys talk first." I'll go to the kitchen and see! β
"Okay Auntie!" After Zhou Xingyun answered, Gao Pinglan didn't know what he thought, so he beckoned to Kong Ling, "Girl, give me a hand!" β
"Mom, just go and see, what do you need to help!" Kong Ling said a little reluctantly, the reason why she was reluctant was not because she didn't want to help, but because she knew it very well in her heart. Mother must have something to say when she got her over.
It is indeed as Kong Ling thought, Gao Pinglan thought so, as soon as she saw that Kong Ling was unwilling to go over, she didn't have a good airway. "Let you come, where is so much nonsense!"
"Alright then!" Although Kong Ling was reluctant, Gao Pinglan said so. She didn't have any way, which made Zhou Xingyun, who had already guessed through Kong's mother's thoughts, amused.
Subsequently. Kong Ling and Gao Pinglan went to the spacious kitchen, and as soon as they came to the kitchen. Gao Pinglan looked at one of the busy women in her forties, and said, "Xiao Zhang, how long will it take for the meal to be good?" β
"Madam, it's about ten minutes!"
"Oh!" Hearing this, Gao Pinglan smiled and said, "It'll be okay in a while, just bring it to the living room!" β
"Yes, ma'am!"
After Xiao Zhang answered, Gao Pinglan beckoned Kong Ling again, "Girl, follow me!" β
"Oh!" Kong Ling pouted and followed, and then came to a practice room not far away, Gao Pinglan closed the door and blinked and asked, "Xiao Ling, what is the relationship between you and that Xiaoyun!" β
"Friends!" Kong Ling smiled.
Gao Pinglan rolled her eyes and said, "I know it's a friend, but is it a boyfriend?" β
"It's not!" Kong Ling grinned and said, "Actually, I only met Xiaoyun today!" β
"What?" Gao Pinglan was taken aback, and then she said in disbelief, "Don't be kidding, if you only met today, how could Xiaoyun help our family so much!" β
"Maybe it's because I'm a beauty!" Kong Ling's narcissistic way.
Gao Pinglan immediately said angrily, "There are more beauties these days, just with Xiaoyun's worth, will there be a lack of beauties around him, I will tell you that I am asking you seriously, you don't always give me a grin!" β
"But I really didn't have a grin!" Kong Ling said a little helplessly, in fact, even if she didn't understand it until now, why Zhou Xingyun would be willing to help her so much! I'm afraid don't say it, she can't figure it out, even if people all over the world add up, it is impossible to guess Zhou Xingyun's thoughts.
Of course, the real mind can't guess, but the other minds, then it is inevitable to have all kinds of conjectures, at this moment, Gao Ping Lanhu glanced at Kong Ling suspiciously and said, "Is he really in love with you?" Or is it love at first sight? β
"How do I know this, anyway, I know he's a little nervous!" Kong Ling smiled bitterly, the reason why she said that Zhou Xingyun was nervous was naturally because Zhou Xingyun was holding her, of course, there were other cases like speed phobia.
Kong Ling knew something, but Gao Pinglan didn't know, as soon as she heard Kong Ling's words, she said with interest, "You tell your mother what you know, and let me see what he is talking about!" β
"Mom, why are you asking all this!" Kong Ling's cheeks flushed slightly.
As soon as he saw Kong Ling's slightly red face, Gao Pinglan's gossip became even heavier, "You girl, am I still embarrassed to your mother, you tell me some information, maybe I can give you an opinion or something!" β
"What, what opinion, I said it all, we only met on the first day!" Kong Ling's cheeks turned red again!
Gao Pinglan rolled her eyes and said, "You think your mother is an idiot, let me ask you, do you have a good impression of Xiaoyun, I believe that according to your personality, you won't lie to your mother in this kind of thing, right?" β
Kong Ling's neck stiffened, "I like it, I like it a little bit, but I feel that the two of us are really not suitable now!" β
"Why?" Gao Pinglan said curiously. (To be continued......)
