Chapter 312: Attending the Family Dinner
"etc!"
As if she had suddenly discovered a new world, Zheng Siling suddenly spoke, "Nian Yao, you just said that the reason you can't attend tomorrow's banquet is because you have to attend the Lu family's dinner, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Just now, everyone's attention was on Long Jiarui's pregnancy, and they didn't pay attention to Zhong Nianyao's words at all. Now that Zheng Siling mentioned it, everyone remembered the content of the words.
Seeing everyone's eyes on her, Zhong Nianyao remained calm and said, "Yes!"
After receiving a positive answer, everyone's eyes suddenly changed.
Everyone was not stupid, so they naturally knew what Zhong Nianyao's participation in the Lu family's family dinner meant. Since it was a family dinner, only family members could attend.
After what happened during this period of time, everyone also saw that the relationship between Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen was not simple. After all, no one knew what it meant for a man to be attentive to a woman.
However, even though they saw how good Lu Yichen was to Zhong Nianyao, they were actually not very optimistic about it. After all, Zhong Mengxuan was a good example. Although she was Lu Chenran's lover, she would never be recognized by the Lu family.
However, now that Zhong Nianyao was going to attend the Lu family's family dinner, that was a completely different matter. Wasn't this just a disguised way of meeting the parents? If everything went well, did that mean Zhong Nianyao would have a chance to marry Lu Yichen?
Even Zhong Jinghao, whose expression remained unchanged, couldn't help but look at Zhong Nianyao a few more times.
Zhong Mengxuan gritted her teeth and looked at Zhong Nian Yao, her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred.
She had been with Lu Chenran for such a long time, but she couldn't even enter the Lu family's gate. Now, how could Zhong Nianyao, who was inferior to her in every way, be able to attend the Lu family's family banquet? Is it just because Zhong Nianyao has a foxy face?
This news hit her harder than the news that Long Jiarui was pregnant.
"Oh, I didn't expect our Nian Yao to be so amazing!" Zheng Siling smiled brightly, "You can even attend the Lu family's family banquet. It seems that Third Master Lu really cares about you!"
She naturally hoped that the relationship between Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen would work out. Zhong Nianyao would not fight for the inheritance of the company. If she could really marry into the Lu family, it would bring great benefits to the Zhong family without harming the interests of the first wife. For her, it would definitely be a good thing.
Especially since Zhong Mengxuan has become Lu Chenran's lover and is already so arrogant, who knows what will happen when she uses Lu Chenran as a backer!
"It's just a meal." Zhong Nianyao shook her head, "It's not that exaggerated."
Mr. Zhong was not so optimistic. He asked directly, "Was it Lu Yichen who suggested taking you there?"
If this was really the case, then Lu Yichen was oversimplifying the issue. If he rashly took Zhong Nianyao there, he was afraid she would be treated coldly by the Lu family, and he was afraid that Zhong Nianyao would be wronged.
"It was the old man of the Lu family who invited me." Zhong Nianyao did not hide it.
Old Master Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh, "Okay, then you should follow Lu Yichen to the Lu family tomorrow! You...you should be careful."
Even though he knew it was the old man of the Lu family who invited him, he was still worried.
However, since the old man of the Lu family was willing to invite Zhong Nianyao over, it meant that he had no objection to their affairs. However, the disparity in their family backgrounds still made him feel uneasy.
"Grandpa, don't worry." Zhong Nianyao took Old Man Zhong's hand and said coquettishly, "I'm not someone who will be wronged. If anyone makes me feel wronged, I won't let him get away with it either."
"Girls, what are you talking about?"
Mrs. Zhong, who was standing by, stretched out her hand and pointed at Zhong Nianyao's forehead, but the gesture was very gentle, not like a rebuke, but more like a pampering, "Go over there and learn some rules, don't make a fuss."
Zhong Nianyao stuck out her tongue like an ordinary little girl and smiled mischievously.
The atmosphere in the living room, which had been silent because of Zhong Mengxuan's matter, now became much more relaxed, and everyone couldn't help but smile.
Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling also became much kinder towards Zhong Nianyao, showing their concern for her like ordinary elders.
Zhong Mingyu, on the other hand, did not look very happy, but he did not have a stern face at this time.
Only Zhong Mengxuan was gloomy and looked out of place in the living room. However, at this moment, no one paid attention to her, or perhaps everyone was deliberately ignoring her.
Her jealous eyes would fall on Zhong Nian Yao from time to time, and a cold chill flashed in the depths of her gloomy eyes, as if she wanted to step forward and tear Zhong Nian Yao apart at any time.
She knew very well that she should leave as soon as possible at this time. Staying here would only bring shame upon herself.
However, she still stubbornly stayed, like a masochist.
The next day, Zhong Nianyao still slept until she woke up naturally.
She wasn't too nervous about attending the Lu family dinner that evening. To her, it was just an ordinary dinner.
However, Zheng Siling, after seeing her get up, wanted to choose clothes for her to wear to the dinner party today.
Before Zhong Nianyao could say anything, the phone rang.
After answering the phone and listening to what was said on the other end, Zhong Nianyao's expression did not change. She finally said, "I'll be there right away," and hurried out without even having time to eat breakfast.
Zheng Siling was a little confused when she saw Zhong Nianyao leaving in such a hurry. By the time she realized what was happening, she had already gone far away.
But fifteen minutes later, Zhong Nianyao arrived at the Zhao family.
As soon as she knocked on the door, someone came to open it for her. It was the Zhao family's housekeeper.
As soon as the housekeeper saw Zhong Nianyao, a hint of joy immediately appeared on his face, "Miss Zhong, you are finally here, the master and the mistress are waiting for you!"
Zhong Nianyao nodded and walked in quickly.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhao's father and mother looking anxious. They quickly stood up and walked towards her.
"Nianyao, Xiaolang is in trouble." Mother Zhao grabbed Zhong Nianyao's hand, almost crying anxiously, "He has been unconscious now. We really have no other choice but to come to you."
Zhong Nianyao nodded, and then said, "Stop talking so much, let's go see Zhao Xuanlang first!"
