Chapter 325 Family Dinner
Zhong Nianyao nodded and then said, "By the way, Zhong Mengxuan hates the child in Long Jiarui's belly to the core. She will definitely try her best to get rid of it."
"That's Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui's business." Lu Yichen said as if it had nothing to do with him. "That's their child."
Listening to Lu Yichen's words, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help laughing, "Lu Chenran is really unlucky to have an uncle like you."
"He has his own parents. He doesn't need me, his uncle, to worry about him." Lu Yichen shook his head and said indifferently, "Besides, if neither of them can protect their child, it means they are not worthy of being parents."
"Alright!" Zhong Nianyao spread her hands and said indifferently, "This is their business, let them worry about it themselves! I won't get involved."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they continued moving towards the Lu family.
Zhong Nianyao had been to the Lu family's old house once before. That time was for Mrs. Lu's birthday, and most of the families in the imperial capital were invited, including the Zhong family.
Everyone knew that the birthday banquet was actually held for Lu Yilei, the fourth master of the Lu family, to find a girl. However, there was no news about which family he chose.
Soon, the car arrived at the door of the Lu family's old house. Lu Yichen helped Zhong Nian Yao get out of the car, and the two walked into the house.
Inside the old house——
Almost all the members of the Lu family have arrived. The last time there was such a grand occasion was at Old Madam Lu’s birthday party.
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu were sitting in the living room, surrounded by their son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, both with smiles on their faces.
When people get old, they all like to be surrounded by their children and grandchildren. Even someone like Mr. Lu who once held a high position of power is the same.
Because the Lu brothers each excelled in their respective fields, there weren't many conflicts, and the atmosphere at home was harmonious and harmonious. This was especially true since today's gathering was to celebrate Long Jiarui's pregnancy. This was the first child of the fourth generation of the Lu family, so naturally, everyone was paying close attention.
There was laughter in the living room.
At this harmonious moment, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao walked in. Their arrival was like a basin of ice water, cooling down the lively atmosphere in the living room.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhong Nian Yao, either with curiosity, suspicion, or confusion.
Mrs. Lu's face, which was originally smiling, immediately turned gloomy the moment she saw Zhong Nian Yao.
She could never forget Zhong Nianyao. This was the first person who dared to contradict her like this. Although she couldn't say she hated Zhong Nianyao to the core, she definitely disliked her to the extreme.
Seeing Zhong Nianyao walking in so brazenly, she was naturally very unhappy. She didn't like Lu Yichen in the first place, and now that Lu Yichen came back with a girl she hated so much, it would be strange if she could look happy.
The others looked at each other, but no one spoke first.
Everyone gathered here, knowing full well that today was the Lu family's family dinner to celebrate Long Jiarui's pregnancy. A so-called family dinner was naturally for family members to attend. Now Lu Yichen had brought someone who was clearly an outsider with him, so what on earth did this mean?
"Yichen!" Madam Lu tried hard to suppress her inner displeasure, keeping herself calm, and said, "Today is our family dinner, you shouldn't have brought an outsider back."
Lu Yichen stood there coldly without replying.
Zhong Nianyao naturally understood that Madam Lu was targeting her. However, she was not anxious at all and continued to smile as she stood there. After all, she was not here uninvited today, but was invited by Mr. Lu.
"What are you talking about!" Mr. Lu spoke directly, smiling, "I invited her here."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhong Nian Yao with a kind smile on his face. He looked like an ordinary elder, and there was no sign that he was once a powerful person.
"Miss Zhong, is that so? It would be better to just call her by her name, Nian Yao! This way it seems more intimate. Nian Yao, you don't mind, do you?"
"I don't mind." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to bother you today."
"Why call me grandpa?" Mr. Lu said with a smile, "Just call me uncle."
After hearing what Mr. Lu said, Zhong Nianyao followed suit, "Uncle."
However, when she called out the word "uncle", she realized that Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhong should be considered of the same generation. So, Lu Yichen should also be considered her elder. So, is Lu Yichen considered an old cow eating young grass now?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at Lu Yichen beside her, with a hint of mischief and ridicule in her eyes.
Although Lu Yichen didn't know what Zhong Nian Yao was thinking at the moment, he knew it was not a good thing when he saw her expression.
He shook his head in amusement, then gently squeezed Zhong Nianyao's palm.
Zhong Nianyao glared at Lu Yichen coquettishly, then remembered that they were at Lu's house, so she immediately looked away.
The interaction between the two was seen by everyone in the Lu family, and everyone had different feelings.
Old Master Lu watched the sweet interactions between Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao, his eyes filled with relief. He had always worried that Lu Yichen would end up alone. Now that he saw that Lu Yichen had found the girl he loved, he was naturally very happy.
As for Mrs. Lu, her mood was completely opposite to that of Mr. Lu.
Although she knew that Lu Yichen was not Mr. Lu's illegitimate son, the prejudice she had held for so many years could not be eliminated overnight. Therefore, when she saw Lu Yichen, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Now that Lu Yichen actually brought Zhong Nian Yao back, it made her even more uncomfortable.
She had met Zhong Nian Yao before, and it was not a pleasant experience.
Because of this incident, she was even warned by Mr. Lu. Now that Lu Yichen brought people in so brazenly, wasn't he just stepping on her face?
As expected, if they are not biological children, they are just ignorant.
However, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she couldn't show it in front of Mr. Lu. Because of everything that had happened before, her husband was already somewhat dissatisfied with her, and she couldn't make him angry again.
