Chapter 192 News
After that, no one mentioned any unpleasant things anymore, and the atmosphere in the living room was quite harmonious for a while.
Not long after, Zhong Mengxuan came in humming a song. She was wearing the latest dress of the season, with delicate makeup, small jewelry, and a curved mouth. She looked radiant.
"Hey, Mengxuan is back from a date!" Zheng Siling teased with a smile, but her words were suggestive. "Who did you go on a date with? You look so happy!"
"I went out for some fun with some of my sisters." Zhong Mengxuan put away the bright smile on her face and only kept a modest smile. "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we had some fun."
"Haha, really?" Zheng Siling looked him up and down and continued with a smile, "I thought you were going on a date with someone you liked!"
They all knew about Zhong Mengxuan and Lu Chenran's affair. If they had really gotten together, it would have been a huge blow to their first wife. Fortunately, her father-in-law and mother-in-law finally broke up the couple. However, seeing Zhong Mengxuan's expression now, she really wondered if she had been fooling everyone.
"Aunt, how could I possibly have someone I like?" Zhong Mengxuan's smile remained unchanged. "Besides, things like love and marriage require careful consideration, so I plan to choose carefully and not rush into anything."
"I'm glad you figured it out." Old Master Zhong nodded and said, "I don't object to you wanting to marry someone higher up. After all, no girl doesn't want an outstanding partner. However, I think you can find the right one."
He wasn't initially against Zhong Mengxuan and Lu Chenran; he was against Lu Chenran, who was already engaged. That wasn't just about being a mistress; it was also about risking the entire Zhong family. He absolutely couldn't tolerate such a thing.
"Grandpa, don't worry." Zhong Mengxuan nodded. "I was confused before, but now I have thought it through."
"That's good."
It was Zhong Nianyao who spoke up. She nodded and said, "Then Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui are getting married soon. Fortunately, you stopped before it was too late, otherwise we would be in big trouble now."
Zhong Nianyao's words were like a bomb dropped in the living room, catching everyone off guard.
Zhong Mingyu and Zhong Mengxuan's expressions changed slightly, but they quickly adjusted themselves so that no one could tell anything was wrong.
"Yaoyao, is what you said true?" Madam Zhong frowned and asked directly, "Is this accurate information, or just hearsay?"
"If it were really gossip, I wouldn't be sharing it here." Zhong Nianyao glanced at Zhong Mengxuan and said, "Long Jiarui is graduating this year, and both families are already discussing the wedding date."
"Luckily, Cousin Mengxuan withdrew quickly, otherwise this hurdle would not have been so easy to overcome. It is said that the eldest lady of the Lu family intends to personally deal with those women around Lu Chenran and will definitely not let those women affect Lu Chenran's marriage."
Although Zhong Mengxuan's expression remained unchanged, her hands, resting on her knees, were now clenched into fists. Her sharp nails had even dug into her tender white flesh, oozing blood. However, at this moment, she felt no pain at all.
"Nian Yao, where did you get this information?" Zheng Siling looked at Zhong Nian Yao with some suspicion. "If it's really as you said, then how did you know it?"
Everyone was really curious about how Zhong Nianyao knew so much information. Whether it was about Zhong Mengfan or Zhong Mengxuan, she knew it all.
"Because I can tell fortunes!" Zhong Nianyao spread her hands and said nonchalantly, "I figured all this out. How about it, auntie, do you want me to tell your fortune too?"
Originally, everyone was quite concerned about Zhong Nianyao's answer, but after hearing such an answer, they all withdrew their gazes, looking speechless.
Only Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong said nothing. However, they believed the explanation in their hearts.
"If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you." Zheng Siling curled her lips and said unhappily, "Why bother to say such things to fool us!"
Zhong Nianyao shrugged. "Anyway, I've already said it. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
After dinner, Zhong Nianyao returned to her room.
But she didn't expect that when she just entered her room, Zhong Mengxuan also squeezed in.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhong Nianyao's tone was very calm. "If it's okay, then hurry out! I want to rest."
The rest was fake, but the real meaning was that he didn't want to get entangled with Zhong Mengxuan.
"I have something to do." Zhong Mengxuan pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and finally spoke, "Zhong Nianyao, what exactly did you mean by what you said downstairs today?"
She actually didn't want to come here. In her heart, she didn't want to believe what Zhong Nian Yao said.
During this period of time, she had been continuing to be with Lu Chenran without telling the rest of the family. She was very confident in herself and did not think she was any worse than Long Jiarui. Moreover, Lu Chenran was really good to her, and she believed that he liked her.
Most importantly, she had just been diagnosed with pregnancy. She hadn't told Lu Chenran about this yet. She had originally planned to tell Lu Chenran the good news after the fetus was more stable.
However, what she didn't expect was that before she could even tell the good news, she suddenly heard such explosive news.
She knew that if she came over at this time, it would definitely arouse Zhong Nianyao's suspicion. But she really couldn't control it, and now she just wanted to know the answer as soon as possible.
If it was true that Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui were about to get married, then she had to think carefully about her future. She was already pregnant with Lu Chenran's child, so she had to give it a try.
"What are you talking about?" Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow, then looked as if she had suddenly realized something, "Are you talking about Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui getting married?"
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's expression, Zhong Mengxuan was so angry that her teeth itched. She almost gritted her teeth and said, "Zhong Nianyao, you obviously know what I mean. Stop pretending here. The reason you said those things, wasn't it because you wanted to see me make a fool of myself?"
