Chapter 168: Mistress
"Dad, what do you mean? Are you talking about Meng Xuan and Lu Chenran—"
Zhong Mingyu's eyes lit up, and then he turned his head and looked at Zhong Mengxuan, "Mengxuan, are you and the eldest young master of the Lu family dating?"
At this moment, he was in a state of excitement. Just now, he hadn't figured out what was going on. Now he finally understood. He really didn't expect that his daughter would be so ambitious and could actually marry the eldest son of the Lu family. If the two of them really got together, wouldn't he become the father-in-law of the eldest son of the Lu family?
When he thought of this, he couldn't suppress his excitement. He wanted Zhong Mengxuan and Lu Chenran to get married right now.
Zhong Mengxuan, who was feeling a little guilty at first, gradually calmed down after seeing Zhong Mingyu so excited, and even felt a little proud.
A blush appeared on her face at the right time, and she said shyly, "We have just started, so we haven't made it public."
Yes! Why should she feel guilty? Being able to be with Lu Chenran is a great thing, isn't it? Didn't Zhong Nianyao just hook up with the Third Master of the Lu family? She is much more capable than Zhong Nianyao. What does Third Master Lu have? He is just a sickly person. But Lu Chenran is different.
Lu Chenran is the eldest son of the Lu family, and is definitely not comparable to Third Master Lu. He is young and promising, and with the Lu family as his backing, he will definitely stand in a higher position in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhong Mengxuan straightened her body even more.
Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling from the neighboring big room had frozen faces at this moment. They had not expected such a thing to happen. At this moment, their hearts were filled with jealousy. Their daughter had just had such a thing happen not long ago, and now Zhong Mengxuan had climbed such a high branch. How could they feel balanced?
Unlike his parents, Zhong Jinghao was a little worried at this time.
From the moment he entered the room, he could tell that his grandpa and grandma were not in a good mood. They had obviously known about Zhong Mengxuan and Lu Chenran's affairs for a long time, which showed that they disapproved of it, or even strongly opposed it.
"Openly, do you still want to openly?"
Looking at Zhong Mengxuan's expression, Mr. Lu was almost furious. "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you think you can climb up to the Lu family? Aren't you afraid of falling to your death?"
"Dad, isn't this a good thing? Why are you so angry?" Zhong Mingyu couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Meng Xuan and Lu Chenran being together is a great thing for our Zhong family, isn't it? With the Lu family as a backer, our Zhong family will definitely be able to move to a higher level."
By then, he will be the only heir to the Zhong family.
Zhong Mengxuan standing by also had a smile on her face, and there was a sense of pride in her smile.
She couldn't help but cast a provocative look in Zhong Nian Yao's direction.
Zhong Nianyao was just a little bit related to Mr. Lu San, but now she has become Lu Chenran's girlfriend. This is something Zhong Nianyao will never catch up with.
Looking at the provocative look from Zhong Mengxuan, only two words came to Zhong Nianyao's mind: idiot.
"Together, what qualifications does she have to be with Lu Chenran?" Old Master Zhong was almost so angry that he blew his nose and glared. "Don't you think about your own status? Is she qualified to enter the Lu family?"
"grandfather!"
Hearing Mr. Zhong's words belittling her, Zhong Mengxuan no longer cared about seniority and spoke directly, "How can you say that! Why am I not qualified to enter the Lu family? Is it that only Zhong Nianyao can get close to the Lu family, and I can't be with the Lu family's eldest son?"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. Zhong Mengxuan almost wanted to point at Zhong Nian Yao's nose and scold her.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhong Nian Yao.
Zhong Nianyao, on the other hand, looked helpless. She didn't know why the anger suddenly hit her head. This matter probably had nothing to do with her!
"Nonsense!" Madam Zhong looked at Zhong Mengxuan sharply. "There's nothing wrong between Nian Yao and Third Master Lu. Third Master Lu only sent something because he was grateful for Nian Yao's help. This can't be confused with your affairs."
Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but feel a little guilty after hearing what Old Madam Zhong said. Before today, she would have been able to speak with confidence, but today, hearing those seemingly plausible words from Lu Yichen made her feel a little confused.
"Grandma, can't I have a relationship?" Zhong Mengxuan's tone was full of indignation. "I've found such a good boyfriend now, shouldn't you be happy for me?"
"Boyfriend?" Old Master Zhong said coldly, "Will he admit that you are his girlfriend? Zhong Mengxuan, you are not young anymore, why are you still so stupid?"
"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?" Zhong Mingyu was very confused. "Mengxuan is doing good things, why do you keep doing this?"
"Good news?" Old Master Zhong glanced at Zhong Mengxuan before continuing, "She is with Lu Chenran, but do they dare to be together openly? Is Lu Chenran single?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed. At the same time, they also understood why Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong were angry.
"Grandpa, which family is Lu Chenran's girlfriend from?" Zhong Jinghao was very smart and he immediately understood the key.
"Miss Long Jiarui of the Long family." Old Master Zhong said in a deep voice, "And she's not a girlfriend, she's a fiancée."
"Impossible." Zhong Mengxuan denied subconsciously, "Chen Ran clearly said that he doesn't have a girlfriend."
"That's his fiancée," Madam Zhong said with a gloomy expression, "Mengxuan, you've become his mistress now. Do you still think it's a good thing?"
"But...but..." Zhong Mengxuan gritted her teeth, "They are just engaged and not married yet, so how can I be the mistress? As long as they are not married, then I still have a chance, right?"
She was unwilling to give up. She had paid so much to win Lu Chenran. If she gave up at this time, she would suffer a heavy loss. And——
Zhong Mengxuan couldn't help but glance at Zhong Nianyao. She didn't want to lose to Zhong Nianyao at all. Since Zhong Nianyao could get close to Mr. Lu Sanye, why couldn't she be with Lu Chenran?
