Chapter 327 Stay
"How dare you..." Madam Lu said angrily, "Zhong Nianyao, this is the Lu family, you can't be so presumptuous."
"Oh, I don't think I'm being presumptuous at all!" Zhong Nianyao said slowly with a faint smile on her face, "However, if Madam Lu wants to kick me out, then just say so. I'm not someone who doesn't know what's good for me, so I won't cause any trouble here."
As she spoke, Zhong Nianyao stood up and prepared to leave.
"Miss Zhong, please stay."
Seeing that Zhong Nianyao was about to leave, Shi Shi quickly spoke up, her smile looking a little unnatural, "We were just chatting for a while, why are you so angry and want to leave! You're actually making it look like our host is to blame."
She really did look down on Zhong Nianyao, or rather, no one present looked down on her. But no matter how much she looked down on her, she was invited by Old Master Lu himself. If Zhong Nianyao left now, no one would be able to explain to Old Master Lu. It was easy to imagine what this joyful family dinner would become.
So, no matter what, Zhong Nianyao couldn't leave. At least not at this time.
Moreover, after what happened before, they also knew that Lu Yichen was not as simple as he seemed. Zhong Nianyao was the first person Lu Yichen fell in love with. If Lu Yichen knew that they forced Zhong Nianyao away, I am afraid that something would happen.
Madam Lu is the elder, so she won’t have any responsibilities at that time, so all the responsibilities will fall on them.
"I thought Madam Lu was really not welcoming me!" Zhong Nianyao looked at Madam Lu with a half-smile, "If I stay here and continue to make Madam Lu unhappy, wouldn't it be my fault?"
Feeling the look in Zhong Nianyao's eyes, Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth in hatred. She wished that Zhong Nianyao would get out immediately.
However, thinking of her husband's possible anger, she had to suppress her inner resentment and said through gritted teeth, "We welcome you to be our guest."
Such a simple sentence had almost exhausted all her energy. This should be considered the biggest concession she had made. If Zhong Nianyao still didn't know what was good for her, then she could just leave.
Zhong Nianyao was not someone who would take advantage of an opportunity. She knew very well that one should stop when one is ahead, so after hearing what Mrs. Lu said, she sat down again.
After the commotion just now, everyone present had finally seen clearly that Zhong Nianyao was no pushover. Furthermore, she still relied on Old Master Lu. If they really went too far, they would be the ones left with no choice.
Zhong Nianyao is completely fearless.
After that, everyone's conversation was very casual, and there was no more tension. However, everyone ignored Zhong Nianyao, intentionally or unintentionally, as if this person did not exist.
Since they couldn't openly make things difficult for her, they could just ignore it. If Zhong Nianyao wanted to leave because of this, it would be her own fault and had nothing to do with them.
Seeing this scene, Madam Lu didn't say anything, but her expression seemed very satisfied. She was very pleased with everyone's continued neglect of Zhong Nianyao.
If an ordinary person were ignored by them like this, he would definitely feel very embarrassed and even feel uneasy.
Zhong Nianyao was clearly not an ordinary person. Despite being ignored by the Lu family, she was completely at ease. She just sat there quietly, listening to the others chatting, with a demure smile on her face.
Everyone was chatting casually, and before they knew it, the topic of conversation had turned to Long Jiarui. However, this wasn't surprising, as Long Jiarui was the main character today. Furthermore, this was the first child of the fourth generation of the Lu family. Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, she was the darling of the family.
As she spoke, Lu Beiyu took Long Jiarui's hand and said with disdain on her face, "Sister-in-law, you must take good care of your pregnancy and give me a plump, fair-skinned nephew or niece. Only the one you give birth to will I acknowledge as my nephew or niece. Those random people out there are just not worthy of being on the stage."
Lu Beiyu's original intention was to elevate Long Jiarui's existence. Moreover, as the daughter of the Lu family, she really looked down on her brother's wild women. However, in such an occasion, it was really inappropriate to say such words.
"Xiao Yu, what nonsense are you talking about!" Shi Shi's face looked a little ugly. "Today is your sister-in-law's happy day. Don't mention it."
What was wrong with this daughter? Saying such things in such a situation, wasn't it a slap in Long Jiarui's face? Didn't she see the darkening expression on her sister-in-law's face after hearing those words?
"What did you say Xiaoyu was doing?" Madam Lu directly defended Lu Beiyu, "Xiaoyu was just telling the truth."
Shi Shi wanted to say something, but after being glared at by Mrs. Lu, she had no choice but to shut up.
Sometimes, when she saw her daughter like this, she really felt tired.
My daughter has always been so willful. No matter what she does, she only cares about her own happiness and doesn't care about the feelings of those around her. She can't stand being hit or scolded.
Because the mother-in-law will always protect her daughter.
When her daughter was born, her husband had a mistress outside. She had initially looked down on her and didn't care. But she never expected that the woman would come to her house, and her husband even protected her.
At that time, she was arguing fiercely with the woman outside about this matter and had no time to take care of her daughter. After that, the mother-in-law took her daughter in and raised her by her side.
She originally thought this was a good thing, but she didn't expect that her daughter would end up being willful and capricious. However, her mother-in-law always protected her daughter and she couldn't even say a word.
She really regrets it now, but she can't change the fact.
Seeing that Madam Lu was defending her, Lu Beiyu was even more proud. "That woman named Zhong that my brother keeps outside is not presentable. Sister-in-law, after a while, when my brother gets tired of her, she will have no place to go."
When she said this, as if she suddenly remembered something, she turned her head to look at Zhong Nianyao and said with a smile, "Oh, Miss Zhong, you probably don't know! My brother has a lover outside who is not in the public eye. What a coincidence, she has the same last name as you, Zhong!"
