Chapter 435 The banquet begins, and even my brother is no longer wanted
Jiang Xu smiled faintly, "The most amazing thing about this Gu is that after burning it, it emits a special scent that's especially attractive to ants, centipedes, and the like."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, then they suddenly realized what was going on and their faces showed expressions of interest.
"It's still possible."
"That's great."
"That's great."
Gu Wenyuan: "When the time comes, you must call me. How can we miss such a good show?"
Mrs. Zhong laughed and said, "Since we're going to have a commotion, why not have a big one? We haven't had a banquet in the Zhong family for a long time, so this is a good opportunity to liven things up."
"That's exactly the reason. We should send out invitations to everyone so that everyone can come and witness Zhong Qianmeng's 'glorious' moment." Mrs. Lu said with a gloating tone.
"You guys, don't let anything get out of your sight these few days."
Lu Ming and the others nodded rapidly, asked for Jiang Xu's account number, and transferred a million yuan in compensation to him.
Before leaving, he respectfully went to the front hall to burn incense and expressed his gratitude repeatedly before saying goodbye.
After leaving Xuanqing Temple, Mrs. Zhong held Zhong Xinnian's hand and sighed softly: "Xinnian, I'm sorry, I've wronged you these days."
Zhong Xinnian shook her head.
"It has nothing to do with Auntie."
Mrs. Zhong held her hand and said, "Auntie is confused. I didn't realize your brother is so heartless and stupid... It's better for us not to have a bastard like that."
"From now on, you will live with your aunt. Your aunt will never let you suffer any injustice again."
…
The other side.
When Zhong's mother Xie Lan opened the door, she saw Zhong Qianmeng's tear-stained face and her expression suddenly changed: "Qianmeng, what's wrong with you?"
Zhong Qianmeng threw herself into her arms and told her what happened while sobbing.
When Xie Lan heard Zhong Hao publicly expose the identities of her and her daughter, her eyes flashed slightly.
How could she not know about the gossips of outsiders these days?
She was originally thinking about how to expose Qianmeng's identity so that she and her daughter could stay in the Zhong family with a legitimate reason. Now, someone gave her a pillow when she was sleepy.
With Zhong Hao's statement, let's see who dares to look down on them mother and daughter in the future.
Although she was extremely satisfied, her expression changed. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "This Zhong Xinnian is trying to kill us, mother and daughter! She actually slandered and insulted us in front of so many people. If it weren't for your brother..."
She choked up and didn't say anything else, but tears fell from her eyes, and she looked very aggrieved.
Zhong Qianmeng grabbed her mother's hand and said in a weak voice, "Mother, don't blame my sister. It's all our fault. We shouldn't be here. Since my sister doesn't like it, let's go back..."
When Zhong Hao heard that she was leaving, he became anxious.
"Qian Meng, what nonsense are you talking about! This whole thing is Zhong Xinnian's fault from beginning to end. Why are you leaving?"
He said angrily, "I thought the lesson last time would make her restrain herself, but I didn't expect her to become even more aggressive! She even teamed up with Madam Lu to embarrass you in public... If I had known this would happen, I should have made her suffer more on the mountain that day!"
"Also, my uncle just sent me a message saying that he's going to hold a family dinner the day after tomorrow. We haven't had a dinner in a long time. He must be doing this to clear your name."
"You have to know that the entire Zhong family is on your side."
Zhong Qianmeng opened her mouth: "Really?"
Zhong Hao nodded: "When the time comes, Zhong Xinnian will definitely apologize to you in public!"
Zhong Qianmeng lowered her eyes: "But, judging from the look on Sister's face just now, I'm afraid she won't listen..."
"What else does she want? Isn't it enough to cause a stir in the city? The eldest brother is like a father! If she still recognizes me as her brother and the Zhong family, she must come back and apologize!" Zhong Hao said angrily.
His face darkened, he lowered his head, looked at Zhong Qianmeng's tearful eyes, and softened his voice again.
"After our parents passed away, we three are the only ones left in this world... Zhong Xinnian is just being willful. In fact, she has been relying on me the most since she was a child. I've left her alone for a few days, and she realized she was wrong."
He became more and more confident as he spoke: "Don't worry, she won't dare disobey me. Otherwise, will she really not even want me as her brother?"
Zhong Hao comforted her a few more words, and they had dinner together before leaving.
After he left, Xie Lan and Zhong Qianmeng looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Xie Lan gently stroked Zhong Qianmeng's head: "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
Zhong Qianmeng shook her head: "It's better to be a little aggrieved, so that everyone will feel more sorry for me."
Otherwise, Zhong Hao would not have exposed her background in public.
But it's also thanks to him.
"Mom, you are the real Mrs. Zhong, and I am the eldest daughter of the Zhong family. All of this will eventually belong to us!"
Xie Lan laughed.
Yes, this identity belongs to her after all.
At that time, Zhong Ming came to stay at her house. She tried to show her affection to him, but he simply ignored her. She thought that was his nature and that he would not be particularly gentle to anyone, but she did not expect that he would be so tender and affectionate to that woman.
At that moment, jealousy burned like fire.
Now, the identities of Mrs. Zhong and Miss Zhong belong to them as mother and daughter!
Zhong Qianmeng looked down at the comforting text messages sent by Lu Ming and others, and smiled triumphantly.
"Mom, Lu Ming and the others said they would help me vent my anger on the day of the banquet!"
What to do? She couldn't wait for the Zhong family banquet to begin.
She couldn't wait to completely crush Zhong Xinnian under her feet, and couldn't wait to show off her achievements to everyone.
Show off so many outstanding men yet they all flock to her.
She is the focus of everyone's attention!
"Mom, I'll open a company for you in the future. I'll buy you whatever you want."
"But, Qianmeng," Xie Lan frowned slightly and said with some concern, "Will you attract criticism from everyone if you get so close to so many men?"
Zhong Qianmeng sneered indifferently, "Mom, you don't understand. I didn't provoke them. They came up to me eagerly and showed their affection to me. Can you blame me for that?"
"This isn't called being entangled, this is called being the flower of the mountain, the heartthrob that everyone looks up to."
…
Three days later.
Because of the farce in the coffee shop, Zhong Qianmeng's name suddenly became the focus of everyone's discussion.
At this time, the Zhong family held a banquet, and the Lu family and the Gu family, the male protagonists of the scandal, also followed suit and posted publicity in a high-profile manner.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this banquet was held for Zhong Qianmeng.
Before noon, the banquet was already bustling with people.
Jiang Xu and Jiang Yueren walked in low-key.
In the crowd, Zhong Hao was taking Zhong Qianmeng and her daughter around to make friends. With his attentive and caring look, if you didn't know them, you would think that the three of them were a real family.
When Jiang Yue saw this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
I've never seen such a stupid person.
I really want to see what expression this child will have when he finds out the truth.
Upstairs, Zhong Xinnian also saw this scene. She smiled coldly and then looked away indifferently.
"Xinnian, ignore them. Come, try this one on again." Mrs. Zhong held a dress and greeted Zhong Xinnian gently.
Finally, Zhong Xinnian chose a cyan sleeveless dress, paired it with elegant makeup, and wore cyan agate earrings that echoed the dress, making her temperament extremely elegant.
When Mrs. Zhong appeared with her arm in arm, the air in the room fell silent for a moment.
A look of surprise flashed across everyone's eyes.
Although Zhong Qianmeng is also very pretty, Zhong Xinnian was carefully brought up by the Zhong family since childhood. The elegance and grace that she exudes is not something that some villains who succeed overnight can compare to.
Zhong Qianmeng's smug expression froze completely the moment Zhong Xinnian appeared.
