Chapter 195 Humiliation
Half an hour later, Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen were sitting in a private room of the hotel.
In addition to the two of them, there is also Zhao Xuanlang who seems very redundant.
Originally, Zhong Nianyao hadn't planned to let Zhao Xuanlang come along, but Zhao Xuanlang kept insisting on coming. Finally, Lu Yichen agreed, so she didn't object.
Zhong Nianyao thought that there was a way to eavesdrop when Lu Yichen suggested booking a room next to the private room booked by Madam Lu. However, after entering the private room, she realized that she was too narrow-minded.
Inside the private room, there was a large TV that was broadcasting everything that was happening in the private room next door.
"What's your relationship with this hotel?" Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but look at Lu Yichen, teasing him with a half-smile, "You're so smart as to install surveillance cameras in someone else's private room. Aren't you afraid that Madam Lu will find out and cause trouble for you?"
"She won't know." Lu Yichen's tone was very calm. He smiled and continued, "How is it? Are you dissatisfied with this arrangement? If you don't want to see it, then I will have someone disconnect the surveillance camera right now."
"No need," Zhong Nianyao said quickly, "Since it's already installed, let's take a look! After all, this is why we're here today, isn't it?"
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's hypocritical look, Lu Yichen couldn't help but laugh.
Zhao Xuanlang, who was standing by, didn't know why he had come along, but now that he was sitting here, he felt like he was superfluous. Moreover, before he even started eating, he felt like he was a little full.
In another private room——
The private room was large and luxurious, but inside it were only the Lu family's eldest wife, Shi Shi, and Zhong Mengxuan. Neither of them spoke, which filled the room with an eerie atmosphere.
Zhong Mengxuan was on pins and needles at this moment. Although she had been mentally prepared because of Zhong Nianyao's previous reminder, she still couldn't keep calm when she really faced it.
She kept telling herself that the person in front of her was Lu Chenran's mother, and that the baby in her belly was her grandson, so she wouldn't hurt her. However, this kind of hypnosis seemed to be of no use at all.
In fact, ever since she entered this private room, the eldest lady of the Lu family had never said anything harsh to her, and she had not even said anything other than "sit down".
However, it was this kind of disregard that caused the panic in her heart to continue to spread.
Finally, Zhong Mengxuan couldn't help herself and spoke first, "Auntie, I——"
Just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Shi Shi, the eldest lady of the Lu family. "Don't call me auntie. We are not that familiar with each other. You should just call me Madam Lu!"
This one sentence made Zhong Mengxuan's face turn pale. She had a lot to say, but she couldn't say it at this moment.
Shi Shi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and gracefully put it down before looking up at Zhong Mengxuan. "Let's not waste any more time talking nonsense and get straight to the point! Since you already know my identity, you should also be very clear about why I called you out today!"
"Auntie, Chen Ran and I are truly in love." Zhong Mengxuan bit her lip, "Please help us!"
"True love?" Shi Shi sneered a few times as if she had heard a joke, then spoke with a hint of disdain, "I think you probably don't know that Chen Ran is getting married soon. If there really is so-called love between you two, do you think he would still agree to get married?"
Just a few words were enough to break Zhong Mengxuan's defense, and her tears kept flowing down.
If it were a man, he would have already felt pity for her. But unfortunately, the person in front of her was a woman, and a woman who had been in a high position for a long time and had extraordinary means and scheming.
"Your tears are worthless." Shi Shi said bluntly, "That's how you use your tears to confuse Chen Ran! But unfortunately, in his eyes, you're just a plaything."
Zhong Mengxuan's face turned even paler, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She then wiped away her tears, raised her head, and looked at Shi Shi with a hint of determination in her eyes. "Mrs. Lu, I know you don't like me. But it's a fact that Chen Ran and I are together, and—"
As she spoke, Zhong Mengxuan stroked her belly and said, "I'm pregnant. It's Chen Ran's child."
After hearing Zhong Mengxuan's words, Shi Shi's face didn't show any excitement, but became even more gloomy. "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Mrs. Lu, I didn't lie to you." Zhong Mengxuan said with huge eyes, "If you don't believe me, you can wait until the baby is born to do a DNA test."
"Abort it." Shi Shi wasn't moved at all, instead, she became even more indifferent. "There's no need to give birth to this child. Abort it. If you want any compensation, just ask. As long as it's within a reasonable range, I can agree to it."
She had known about the child long before she came here. However, she had never expected Zhong Mengxuan to use the child as a bargaining chip. It was simply a joke.
Zhong Mengxuan obviously didn't expect that after she spoke out, she would get such a result. "Madam Lu, the child in my belly is your grandson. How can you be so heartless?"
"Grandson?" Shi Shi sneered and said, "Chen Ran is still young, Jia Rui is also young, they will have children in the future. Only the child born by the two of them will be my grandson. As for the cats and dogs outside——"
When Shi Shi said this, she looked at Zhong Mengxuan's belly with disdain in her eyes, "What qualifications does he have to call himself our grandson?"
These words shattered all of Zhong Mengxuan's self-esteem and confidence. She had thought of many possibilities, but she never imagined that the other party would be so cold and ruthless.
"Mrs. Lu, I will not abort this child." Zhong Mengxuan looked up, "I really love Chen Ran. Even if he doesn't want to acknowledge this child, I will give birth to it. This is the child of the man I love, there is no way I will give up."
She was absolutely unwilling to give up this child, as it was her only bargaining chip. Without this child, there would be no relationship between her and Lu Chenran, and all her previous plans would be in vain.
