Chapter 637 Zhong Yi must have a trump card
Lu Yingxue's face looked extremely ugly.
"You gave birth to his child? Did you ask for my opinion?" Lu Yingxue asked through gritted teeth.
Ye Ying bit her lip and said, "As long as Master Zhong is willing, that's fine. Miss Lu hasn't officially gotten married to him yet, so she shouldn't have the right to interfere in our affairs."
She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she changed her previous timidity and spoke like this in front of Lu Yingxue.
Lu Yingxue couldn't help it and raised her hand to slap him.
Bang!
Bang!
Two sounds in succession.
Ye Ying's face was covered with red and swollen marks from the slap, but she did not back down at all.
When Lu Yingxue was about to hit him, Zhong Yi reached out and tightly grasped her wrist, saying, "Have you let out enough anger? Do you want to slap me in the face a few times to feel better?"
"Ayi, we haven't gotten married yet. You let Ye Ying live in our house. How can this be unreasonable?" Lu Yingxue looked at him with a cold and dissatisfied face.
Others followed suit.
"Yes, Master Zhong, you've gone too far. How could you bring a mistress into your home? Although a man with money can have some affairs, he shouldn't bring her home."
"Miss Lu is so kind, but you let her down. Good job! You should punish the mistress!"
"Mr. Zhong, you did something wrong."
They all blamed Zhong Yi, and some of them were Lu Yingxue's suitors.
Zhong Yi sneered: "Don't confuse the identities of the mistress and the victim. I know very well whether Ye Ying is the mistress or the victim, and I know who is the instigator of this matter."
"Then Lu Yingxue isn't a victim? Why should she pay for you? It couldn't have been Miss Lu who drugged you on your engagement night! She's the biggest victim!"
Lu Yingxue's most ardent pursuer was speaking out for her.
"The biggest victim?"
Zhong Yi sneered when he heard this.
He grabbed Lu Yingxue's wrist fiercely and forced her to come closer.
The two were very close to each other, but the atmosphere was not ambiguous, but full of tension.
Zhong Yi lowered his voice and said, "Lu Yingxue, I know very well whether you are the victim or the instigator. I didn't investigate thoroughly because I felt there was no need to cause any trouble. Zhong Lingxiao's people failed, so who do you think was responsible? I tested the hangover soup and it's fine, but... what about the faint fragrance in the room that night?"
That inexplicable fragrance that appeared.
From the flowers arranged.
It's not impossible that there are some Chinese herbs among those flowers.
"Don't treat me like a fool. My ability to keep my engagement with you is already my greatest concession. If you have the guts, call the old man now and tell him you've been wronged, and ask him to make the decision. Ask him to eliminate me, the candidate for succession, too. Okay?"
Lu Yingxue's heart skipped a beat.
She was obviously so secretive in her actions.
Zhong Yi actually guessed everything!
She couldn't call the old man to complain. If she couldn't even handle a woman that Zhong Yi brought back, how could she, the future mistress of the Zhong family, be able to convince others?
She must prove her worth in front of the old man.
Instead of disturbing him all the time.
Otherwise, she believed that the old man might choose a new fiancée for Zhong Yi. Lu Yingxue always had a premonition that the old man was partial to Zhong Yi.
Even... Zhong Lingxiao might be Zhong Yi's whetstone!
Zhong Yi has been fighting for the position of heir for so many years, it is impossible for him to give up at the last minute.
He must have a trump card!
Could it be that she and Zhong Yi could only be a nominal couple from now on?
Zhong Yi took in every change in her expression, his lips full of mockery: "Have you thought it through? Are you going to keep saying you love me, or choose to be a good wife of Young Master Zhong? Lu Yingxue, no one can have the best of both worlds."
"Do you want me to expose everything, or do you want me to preserve your reputation as a virtuous and gentle person?"
He is threatening her!
As long as Zhong Yi says that she was the one who gave the drug that night, everyone present will look at her differently.
Lu Yingxue almost bit the tip of her tongue.
She took a deep breath and slowly raised her eyes to look at him: "Okay, I know what to do."
She called the servant and ordered, "Put Miss Ye's luggage in the guest room and let her stay here for a month."
Bear humiliation and bear heavy burdens!
Everyone else was stunned!
I didn't expect Lu Yingxue to endure such a great humiliation.
Lu Yingxue looked at Ye Ying and said, "Miss Ye, I'm letting you stay here because of what happened between you and Ayi that night. Since Ayi said you're not a mistress, please remember your identity. If you're not pregnant in a month, please leave. I'll compensate you financially for the hurt you suffered that night. Is that okay?"
She was almost mad at her own magnanimity.
Ye Ying nodded: "Don't worry, Miss Lu, Master Zhong and I don't have any extra feelings for each other."
She just wanted to invite someone to annoy Lu Yingxue.
Although I don’t know why the relationship between Zhong Shao and Lu Yingxue is so bad.
"Today is our housewarming party. I'm sorry to have taken up everyone's time. Please take your seats. I'll have the kitchen serve the dishes. The chefs we've invited today are all from the Imperial Capital Hotel, and they have many specialties. Please enjoy them. There will also be some games after the meal..."
Lu Yingxue said loudly.
She whispered a few more instructions to the servants and seemed to be preparing for a small game.
"Miss Ye, you are tired from the journey, so there is no need for you to stay here with us. I will ask the servants to deliver the food to your room, so you can have a good rest." Lu Yingxue did not give Ye Ying any face at all.
Ye Ying didn't want to stay, so she nodded, turned around and followed the servant upstairs.
Everyone took their seats according to their assigned seats.
Zhong Yi turned to look at the couple sitting in a secluded place, and his face instantly darkened.
He hadn't noticed Huo Xingzhou was here just now, and he didn't expect that he brought Qiao Xi with him.
When Zhong Yi thought about the fact that they had seen the scene just now, he couldn't help but feel angry!
Lu Yingxue's tone was no longer as cordial as before, but rather businesslike. "Boss Huo said you invited them to the housewarming party, but there were no last-minute arrangements. We can only have them sit in the back."
Zhong Yi sneered when he heard it.
"Arrange them at the main table, and make room for your irrelevant friends. Not everyone can sit at the main table of my Zhong family." Zhong Yi saw through Lu Yingxue's little thoughts and said in a cold voice.
The Zhong family is the most aristocratic family in the imperial capital, and there are always some short-sighted people who want to show off their abilities by getting in front of them.
If you can't find his way, then find Lu Yingxue's way.
Lu Yingxue's expression grew even colder. She pursed her lips tightly and responded coldly.
He caught a glimpse of Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou slowly approaching, and his eyes darkened a little!
Qiao Xi had made a fool of herself today, and her heart was filled with emotions.
She hated Qiao Xi so much!
At most, let her be proud for a while longer!
When she gets to know the news, she will be heartbroken!
