Chapter 266 Conflict
"But even after you found out that Lu Chenran was engaged, you still kept pestering him!" Zhong Nianyao tore off Zhong Mengxuan's veil without hesitation. "Even now that Lu Chenran is married, you still insist on being the third party."
"Zhong Nianyao, shut up right there." Zhong Mengxuan was a little angry and embarrassed. "What qualifications do you have to say that to me? Aren't you and I different? You are with Lu Yichen, aren't you also trying to climb into the Lu family? It's just that you chose Lu Yichen, and I chose Lu Chenran."
Moreover, she firmly believed that her vision was far superior to Zhong Nianyao's. True, Lu Yichen was not married, nor was he engaged. However, Lu Yichen was simply a sickly person, his health so poor that it was unknown how much longer he could survive. Furthermore, Lu Yichen was not valued in the Lu family at all. He would not achieve anything significant in the future.
However, Lu Chenran is different. As the eldest son and grandson of the Lu family, there is a great possibility that he will inherit the Lu family and become the head of the next generation of the Lu family.
Therefore, her choice was the most correct.
At this time, Zhong Mengxuan could ignore the message she had received before and forget everything that happened at the airport.
"Zhong Mengxuan, don't lump me in with you," Zhong Nianyao said mercilessly, "If Lu Yichen were engaged to another woman, or even had the slightest ambiguity with another woman, I would never be with him. To be precise, he and I are not officially together now. He's just pursuing me, and I haven't agreed yet."
"Zhong Nianyao, don't be so high-sounding." Zhong Mengxuan's face turned even worse. "You're not as good as me. At least I'm responsible for my actions. You sound nice now, but if you really don't have any ambitions at all, then why would you be with Lu Yichen, a sickly guy? You just want to climb up the Lu family. Let me tell you, Lu Yichen is not valued in the Lu family at all. Don't think that all members of the Lu family can get the same treatment. Your choice is absolutely wrong."
As soon as the word "sickly girl" came out, the indifference on Zhong Nianyao's face immediately disappeared, replaced by gloom. There was anger in her eyes. Without saying a word, she stepped forward and slapped Zhong Mengxuan on the cheek.
“Snap—”
The crisp sound of slapping rang out in the room, making the whole room suddenly become almost dead silent.
Zhong Mengxuan covered her face, as if she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes, "You hit me?"
"That's right, I'm hitting you." Zhong Nianyao's face was gloomy, and her words were even more fierce. "If you dare to say the word 'sickly child' again, I will not only hit you, but also rip your mouth off."
Although she knew that Lu Yichen was not the sickly person that Zhong Mengxuan described, she felt very uncomfortable when she heard Zhong Mengxuan say that. So, without any hesitation, she took action directly.
Sure enough, it is really refreshing to just take action when something happens.
Zhong Mengxuan, who had come to her senses at this time, also had a ferocious look on her face. She took a step forward, raised her hand, and wanted to fight back.
However, before she could swing her hand, Zhong Nian Yao caught it and threw it to the ground.
"Zhong Nian Yao, I'm going to kill you." Zhong Mengxuan quickly stood up, walked towards Zhong Nian Yao, raised her hand again, and was determined to slap Zhong Nian Yao no matter what.
She really couldn't stand Zhong Nian Yao's insults. From the moment she entered the door, Zhong Nian Yao had been humiliating her, calling her a mistress, and now she even dared to hit her directly.
If she doesn't teach Zhong Nian Yao a lesson today, Zhong Nian Yao will bully her and act tyrannically in the future.
Zhong Nianyao grabbed Zhong Mengxuan's hand again, then raised her hand and slapped Zhong Mengxuan again.
Before Zhong Mengxuan could react, she was slapped again, and she was almost stunned. When she raised her head again and looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes were filled with endless hatred.
That look didn't seem like he was looking at his cousin, but more like he was looking at his enemy.
"Zhong Nianyao, I won't let you go. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have Lu Yichen's support. I'm telling you, I won't let today's incident go."
"Whatever you want." Zhong Nianyao didn't care at all. A cold smile appeared on her lips. "If you want to make a big deal out of this, then go ahead and do it. I also want to know how the Lu family would react if they knew you called Lu Yichen a sickly kid in private."
As soon as these words came out, the anger on Zhong Mengxuan's face disappeared, replaced by a hint of panic. Even her voice trembled a little. "Zhong Nianyao, what do you want to do? I'm telling you, you must not spread what happened today."
Just now, she had only blurted out the word "sickly" out of anger. She knew very well that if Lu Chenran, not to mention the other members of the Lu family, knew that she had said such a thing, he would not let her go easily.
If her words were really spread, then it would be the end of her and Lu Chenran. All her efforts for so long would be in vain.
"What? Just now, weren't you still thinking about not letting me go?" Zhong Nianyao sneered, "Since you dare to say that, then don't be afraid of being found out. Zhong Mengxuan, you really are hypocritical."
"Zhong Nianyao, I won't pursue the matter of you hitting me today." Zhong Mengxuan tried to calm herself down, "But you must never tell anyone about what happened today. If I'm done, I won't let you off easily either."
"Then just come at me!" Zhong Nianyao didn't care. She shook off Zhong Mengxuan's hand and continued coldly, "Zhong Mengxuan, I won't tell anyone what you said today. However, I'm not doing this for you, but for our entire Zhong family."
"Also, don't let me hear the word 'sickly' from your mouth again. Otherwise, I will make everything you've worked so hard for vanish into thin air."
"Zhong Nianyao, how dare you!" Zhong Mengxuan looked fierce but was actually weak.
"Do you want to try?" Zhong Nianyao had a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "I definitely dare to do it. It depends on whether you dare to gamble."
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's appearance, Zhong Mengxuan was furious, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only turn around and leave.
Zhong Nianyao's warning came from behind, "Zhong Mengxuan, if you still want to keep everything you have now, then you'd better behave yourself from now on."
