Chapter 218 The Second Miss of the Chu Family
"Hello, Miss Zhong."
Although Zhong Nianyao was a junior, Old Master Chu did not act as an elder when facing her. Instead, he was humble and said, "Nice to meet you. I heard about you from the second son before. I wanted to hold a banquet to thank you, but I just found my second granddaughter and things were a bit chaotic at home, so I didn't have time."
"There's no need for this." Zhong Nianyao shook her head and said calmly, "They've already paid me, so we're even now."
"How can we just let it go!" Chu Ci Yan said quickly, "If it weren't for you, how could Xiao Xu be here so alive and kicking! In fact, if it weren't for big brother finding the child this time, I was going to ask you for help!"
Zhong Nianyao nodded and said nothing.
"grandfather!"
At this moment, a familiar voice was heard.
Hearing this familiar voice, Zhong Nianyao narrowed her eyes and saw an acquaintance walking towards her. This acquaintance was none other than Shen Yixue.
However, unlike her previous simple and plain attire, Shen Yixue was now wearing a fitted haute couture dress, a diamond necklace around her neck, and delicate makeup. She looked like a rich lady from the upper class, completely different from the plain special recruit in the school.
When she saw Zhong Nianyao, Shen Yixue was also stunned for a moment. However, she soon regained her smile.
She took a step forward and came to Mr. Chu, and said respectfully, "Grandpa, Mom and Dad said they will be here soon."
Seeing Shen Yixue’s arrival, Mr. Chu’s expression changed slightly, and even a little cold, “You’re here!”
Chu Ciyan, who was standing beside her, smiled and introduced, "Miss Zhong, this is my eldest brother's second daughter, Chu Yixue."
"Yixue, this is Miss Zhong, the third daughter of the Zhong family."
When facing Chu Yixue, Chu Ciyan had a gentle smile on his face. However, if you look closely, you can still see that there is no trace of smile in his eyes.
"So you are the second young lady that the Chu family found!" Zhong Nianyao nodded, "That really is a coincidence!"
"Yes!" Shen Yixue, no, now she should be called Chu Yixue, she nodded at Zhong Nianyao with a smug smile on her face, "Nianyao, I'm glad that you can come to my party."
Now she could finally stand on the same level as Zhong Nianyao. She had once been just a special admissions student at Tenglong College. If the school revoked her privileges, she wouldn't even be able to continue her studies. She even had to cling to Li Jingming for tuition and miscellaneous fees.
However, she has now been completely transformed. She is now the second daughter of the eldest master of the Chu family in the imperial capital, and the second young lady of the Chu family.
Seeing Zhong Nianyao again, she no longer needed to feel inferior. She and Zhong Nianyao were now on equal footing.
"You two know each other?" Chu Ciyan's smile became more sincere. "Then it really is fate!"
"Yes! It really is fate." Shen Yixue quickly rushed to speak, "Nian Yao and I both studied at Tenglong College, and we were good friends before!"
The reason she dared to say this was because she was certain that Zhong Nianyao would not speak carelessly in such an occasion. Today, this was her home court. As a guest, if Zhong Nianyao said something she shouldn't, it would be tantamount to making enemies with the Chu family. Zhong Nianyao would not fail to understand such a sense of propriety.
Thinking of this, she cast a provocative look at Zhong Nian Yao.
"Bad fate?" Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly, but her words were merciless. "I think you probably haven't heard clearly about me and this Shen Yixue, who should be called Chu Yixue now! The relationship between her and me is not very good! After all, the fact that she stole my work before is well known to everyone in the school."
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became cold.
The faces of the people present were not very good.
Chu Yixue's expression became even more ugly. When she looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison. If it weren't for this occasion, she would have really wanted to step forward and grab Zhong Nianyao's face!
She never thought that Zhong Nian Yao would say these words in such an occasion.
After taking a look at Mr. Chu and Chu Ciyan, whose expressions had turned bad, Zhong Nianyao nodded slightly and said goodbye directly, "Mr. Chu, Uncle Chu, I'm going to look for my grandparents first."
"Miss Zhong, let Xiaoxu take you there!"
Old Master Chu's expression returned to normal. When he looked at Zhong Nianyao, he didn't show any anger at all. Instead, he seemed particularly amiable. "Also, when you have time, we will host a banquet to thank you."
Chu Yixue, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart after seeing Mr. Chu's attitude.
Soon, Chu Xu took Zhong Nian Yao and left first.
After Zhong Nian Yao left, the smile on Mr. Chu's face disappeared. When he looked at Chu Yixue again, there was no expression on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Chu Yixue stood there, and she had long lost the excitement and pride she had just had. She felt as if she was in the coldest part of winter. Waves of chilling coldness surged from the soles of her feet, making her back sweat.
Ever since she returned to the Chu family, the person she feared most was Old Man Chu in front of her.
Mrs. Chu has passed away, and the oldest elder in the Chu family is Mr. Chu. Not to mention that Mr. Chu is now the head of the Chu family.
Every time she saw Mr. Chu's eyes that seemed to see through everything, her heart would be in turmoil.
She didn't know whether Mr. Chu was happy about the return of his second granddaughter, but since she returned to the Chu family, Mr. Chu's attitude towards her has always been very cold.
Now, after this incident, she knew that Mr. Chu's impression of her must have become even worse.
At this moment, her resentment towards Zhong Nianyao deepened in her heart. Because if it weren't for what Zhong Nianyao said, she wouldn't be facing this situation now.
Old Master Chu glanced at Chu Yixue deeply and said, "I don't care what grudges there are between you and Zhong Nianyao, but I won't allow the relationship between our Chu family and her to be destroyed because of you."
"Please find some time to apologize to her!"
He didn't have any deep feelings for Chu Yixue, his granddaughter who was found. However, he was sincere in wanting to be on good terms with Zhong Nianyao, so he would never allow Chu Yixue to ruin his relationship.
