Chapter 137: Countermeasures
"Partnership."
Zhong Nianyao's eyes rolled, and she had already thought of a response in her mind, "I helped him a lot, so he sent these things to me as a thank you gift."
"help?"
Before Mr. Zhong could even finish his words, Zhong Mengxuan couldn't help but taunt him, "Zhong Nianyao, what ability do you have to help Third Master Lu? Who do you think you are? Can you really help the Lu family?"
"You know best whether I can help, don't you?" Zhong Nianyao said with a half-smile, "Don't forget, I was the one who saved your mother."
She actually found it quite strange. There shouldn't be any major conflicts between her and Zhong Mengxuan! Moreover, not long ago, she had saved the baby in Li Yiqiu's belly.
Even if Zhong Mengxuan is not grateful to her, at least she shouldn't be so sarcastic and mocking as she is now!
It seems that she and the other girls in the Zhong family are really incompatible! Whether it is Zhong Mengfan or Zhong Mengxuan, they are all hostile to her!
No, perhaps even the relationship between Zhong Mengfan and Zhong Mengxuan doesn't seem to be much better.
These two simple words made Zhong Mengxuan's face change instantly, becoming a little embarrassed, but when she looked at Zhong Nian Yao, she was still full of hostility.
"Mengxuan, shut up!" Zhong Mingyu gave his daughter a warning look before turning his head to look at Zhong Nianyao and speaking apologetically, "Nianyao, I'm sorry! Mengxuan can't speak, so leave her alone! But--"
"You still need to be cautious about your relationship with the Third Master of the Lu family! A family like the Lu family is not something we can marry into!"
Zhong Nianyao glanced at Zhong Mingyu lightly, then said, "Don't worry, uncle. I'm not a child anymore. I know how to deal with many things myself!"
"Alright, alright, since Yaoyao has already explained, let's leave it at that!" Old Master Zhong said directly, "You all remember this—"
As he spoke, Mr. Zhong's expression grew serious. "Yaoyao was just helping Third Master Lu. There's no relationship between them, and they won't have any contact in the future. If you dare to say anything nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"
Since Mr. Zhong has already spoken, others naturally dare not say anything!
Although Zhong Nianyao's explanation sounded really unconvincing, Mr. Zhong, as the head of the family, had already accepted it. No matter how many doubts they had in their hearts, they dared not say anything more!
Madam Zhong, who had been silent the whole time, also spoke up, "Okay, now that everything is clear, let's all go back and rest!"
Then, she turned her head and looked at Zhong Nianyao, and continued, "Yaoyao, I'll have someone send these two boxes to your room later!"
Zhong Nianyao nodded and didn't say anything else.
As for the things Lu Yichen sent her, she had no intention of returning them.
She had said before that she didn't need it, but since the other party was so sincere and gave it to her again, she naturally accepted it with peace of mind!
Moreover, because of these two boxes of things, she was subjected to a three-round trial. Wouldn't it be a big loss to return the things?
After Mrs. Zhong's words came out, everyone naturally didn't dare to have any opinions. However, when their eyes fell on the two boxes, their eyes were almost fiery.
When the two boxes were delivered just now, Mr. Zhong had someone open them and take a look. Naturally, they also saw what was inside.
The items inside are all very valuable treasures, some even look like antiques! Taking out any one of them might be enough to buy a house in the imperial capital.
Now there are two whole boxes. How much are they worth? I’m afraid it’s hard to even calculate!
They really wanted to know what kind of help Zhong Nian Yao had done to Mr. Lu San that made him give such a valuable thank-you gift!
Zhong Nianyao didn't care about other people's speculations at all. After Madam Zhong spoke, she got up and went back to her room!
There's an exciting show at school tomorrow! She has to conserve her energy to watch it!
Zhong Mengxuan looked at Zhong Nianyao's back as she left, then looked at the two boxes still in the living room, with an imperceptible fiery light flashing in her eyes!
The Third Master of the Lu Family is the most insignificant person in the Lu Family, yet he could casually offer such a valuable gift as a thank you! It is hard to imagine how profound the Lu Family's heritage must be!
The current Fourth Master of the Lu Family is still unmarried. If one could marry the Fourth Master of the Lu Family, then—
Just by thinking about it, Zhong Mengxuan felt endless excitement in her heart!
Zhong Mingyu, who was standing by, had no idea about the lofty ambitions of his daughter. At this moment, most of his thoughts were on his unborn son.
By the time he realizes it one day, it will be too late.
After instructing two servants to deliver the things to Zhong Nian Yao's room, Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong got up and went back to their room to rest!
Although I felt a little confused about Zhong Nianyao's explanation just now, I still believed it.
If it was before, they would definitely not believe such a reason. But now after knowing Zhong Nianyao's abilities, they no longer doubted it!
only--
After returning to the room, Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong did not rest immediately, but sat down and chatted.
"Old woman, tell me, will Yaoyao..." Mr. Zhong hesitated, "Will she..."
"What's going on?"
Looking at Mr. Zhong's expression, Mrs. Zhong felt a little impatient. "There are only two of us here now. What else can't be said? Hurry up and say it!"
Under Madam Zhong's urging, Mr. Zhong still spoke hesitantly, "Could it be that Yaoyao has fallen for Mr. Lu? Didn't she say before that she wanted to find someone good-looking?"
"What?"
Madam Zhong almost thought she had misheard. After turning around, she immediately said, "What nonsense are you talking about, old man! Didn't Yaoyao already say just now? I was just helping you out!"
"But..." Mr. Zhong frowned, "I always feel that this is a little weird, but I just can't put my finger on what's weird!"
"Don't think too much," Madam Zhong shook her head and said, "The gap between our family and the Lu family is too big. Yaoyao is a smart child. We don't need to worry about her now! She knows what she should do!"
