Chapter 170 Hint
Zhong Nianyao didn't intend to lie, nor did she bother to lie. She nodded and said, "Yes, I said it, so what?"
"Zhong Nianyao, you bitch."
After receiving a positive answer, Zhong Mengxuan almost lost her mind. She stepped forward, raised her hand, and was about to slap Zhong Nianyao. "So it's you who hurt me. I won't let you go."
As she spoke, she swung her hand down fiercely.
At first, she wasn't sure if it was Zhong Nianyao who did it. Now that she had received Zhong Nianyao's answer, she was completely overwhelmed by a strong hatred. The only thing she wanted to do now was to teach this person who wanted to harm her a lesson.
Just as the slap was about to land, Zhong Mengxuan's hand was grabbed.
The person who grabbed her hand was Zhong Nian Yao.
Zhong Nian Yao was not a soft persimmon, and she would not stand there and take a beating. After she grabbed Zhong Mengxuan's hand, she swung her other hand down and slapped her in the face before she could react.
Feeling the pain coming from her cheek, Zhong Mengxuan was completely confused, "You hit me?"
"That's right, I hit you," Zhong Nianyao sneered a few times, then said, "Don't tell me you raised your hand to fix your hair just now. You obviously wanted to hit me, so why can't I fight back? Or do you think I'm a softie that you can manipulate at will?"
"Zhong Nianyao, you—" Zhong Mengxuan gnashed her teeth in hatred, "You ruined my good thing, and now you dare to hit me. Where do you get the courage?"
"Where do I get the courage from? Don't bother with me." Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said indifferently, "Just mind your own business and don't come to me to seek attention. I dare to hit you now, and I won't show mercy in the future."
Hearing such provocative words, Zhong Mengxuan was furious. However, facing such a strong Zhong Nianyao, she had no other choice for the time being. She could only say a harsh word, "Zhong Nianyao, we'll see. One day, I will make you kneel at my feet and repent."
After saying this, she turned and left. However, her steps were somewhat hurried, as if she was fleeing in panic.
As soon as she returned to her room, Zhong Mengxuan saw Zhong Mingyu waiting for her in the room.
"Dad, why are you in my room?" Zhong Mengxuan couldn't help but frown.
"What do you think?" Zhong Mingyu asked unhappily, then asked, "But you, didn't you go back to your room just now? Where have you been now?"
"I just went to see Zhong Nianyao." Zhong Mengxuan's tone was filled with anger. "She is the one who reported everything today. This bitch actually hurt me like this. I will not let her go."
"Did Nian Yao say that?"
In comparison, Zhong Mingyu seemed much calmer. He directly pointed out the problem, "Then how did she know about the relationship between you and Lu Chenran?"
Zhong Mengxuan was awakened from her dream by this remark. "Yes! How did she know? It must have been Third Master Lu. It was Third Master Lu who told her."
The matter between her and Lu Chenran was very secretive. Even her parents didn't know about it, let alone Zhong Nianyao. Therefore, the only possibility was that Third Master Lu told her.
"That's impossible!" Zhong Mingyu disagreed. "What kind of person is Mr. Lu San? Even if he gave Zhong Nianyao something, it doesn't mean that these two people have any relationship!"
"Besides, if this is really what Third Master Lu said, why would Zhong Nianyao hide it? You think too much."
Although Zhong Mengxuan did not refute, she still thought so in her heart.
However, she didn't intend to argue with her father, so she changed the subject, "Dad, you came to see me so late, is there something wrong?"
"What's going on between you and Lu Chenran?" Zhong Mingyu got straight to the point. "You two are now—"
"We're officially together!" Zhong Mengxuan's tone was filled with unconcealed pride, but then her face was filled with resentment. "I had originally planned to tell you after things settled down. I didn't expect Zhong Nianyao to be so nosy and actually say it out loud like that. And, Grandpa actually got so angry about this."
What she couldn't have imagined was actually her grandfather's attitude. Her being with Lu Chenran was a great thing for the Zhong family, wasn't it? But her grandfather was so angry that he even directly ordered her and Lu Chenran to separate.
"Don't blame your grandfather. He has reason to do this." Zhong Mingyu was much calmer. "Your grandfather is the head of our Zhong family. He must put the entire Zhong family first. Although becoming relatives with the Lu family is a great temptation, becoming enemies with the Long family is also a big risk. That's why she is so angry."
"Dad, why are you like this too?" Zhong Mengxuan couldn't help but stomped her foot. "Even you are against it. Don't you want to see me marry into the Lu family?"
She had put in so much effort to get to this point with Lu Chenran. She really wouldn't be willing to give up just like that.
But now her grandfather has issued an ultimatum. If she continues to be with Lu Chenran, she will be kicked out of the house.
Although marrying Lu Chenran was very attractive, she still didn't dare to do it if the price was being kicked out of the house.
After all, it was still unclear whether she could get married in the future. But if she was really kicked out of the house, she would lose everything she had now.
Moreover, even if she married Lu Chenran, without her natal family as a backer, she would not be able to hold on to her position as the eldest lady of the Lu family!
"I have nothing against you," Zhong Mingyu said meaningfully. "Of course, what your grandfather said makes sense. Besides, your grandfather's personality is obvious. Unless things really go well, he won't bet the entire Zhong family."
"Dad, what on earth do you mean by this?" Zhong Mengxuan couldn't help but frown, "Isn't it the same as if you said nothing?"
"I'm just stating my stance." Zhong Mingyu continued, hinting, "Actually, if you don't tell us about your relationship, who among us would know? I'm your father, but I can't know everything about you at any time, let alone your grandfather!"
"Anyway, you've grown up and know what you want. As elders, can we still keep an eye on you all the time?"
