Chapter 367 Jealousy
Zhong Nianyao didn't know where Zhong Mengxuan heard these words from, but she was in no mood to explain so much to the other party. She waved her hand as if to drive away a fly, "My affairs have nothing to do with you. Just take care of yourself and don't worry about my affairs."
Zhong Mengxuan was not angry. When she looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes were full of gloating. "Zhong Nianyao, I know you were abandoned, so you are in a bad mood now. But you can't take your anger out on me!"
"Zhong Mengxuan, it's still broad daylight, so don't talk in your sleep here." Zhong Nianyao leaned back lazily in her chair. "No matter what happens between Lu Yichen and me, it has nothing to do with you. If you have time, take care of your own business. Also, don't keep staring at Long Jiarui's belly. If you have the ability, tie Lu Chenran's heart to it."
Hearing the sarcasm in Zhong Nianyao's words, Zhong Mengxuan's face suddenly darkened. "Zhong Nianyao, what are you so proud of? If you were really that great, how could you be abandoned by Mr. Lu?"
"Who told you that Lu Yichen abandoned me?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Zhong Mengxuan with a half-smile. "Besides, even if Lu Yichen really abandoned me, so what? I'm still me. Nothing will change."
"Hmph, why are you trying so hard to hold on here?" Zhong Mengxuan still didn't believe that Zhong Nianyao wasn't sad at all. "However, the gap between you and Mr. Lu San is really too big, and your breakup is inevitable. However, you and I are different. Even if we don't have a formal relationship, everyone knows that I am Lu Chenran's woman!"
Even if she could never marry Lu Chenran in this life, she was already tied to the Lu family. Moreover, she was still with Lu Chenran, but Zhong Nianyao had been abandoned by Mr. Lu.
No matter how you look at it, she has already defeated Zhong Nian Yao.
"Oh, you mean, it's such a big deal for you to stay with Lu Chenran as his lover without any status?" Zhong Nianyao just found it funny. "You said, everyone receives the same education, why is your brain different from others? You are actually proud of being a man's lover."
"You—" Zhong Mengxuan was furious, but then she smiled again, "Zhong Nianyao, I'm not angry. I know you are jealous of me now."
"Jealous of you?" Zhong Nianyao sneered, as if she had heard something funny. "What am I jealous of you for? Jealous of you being forced to abort your first child, jealous of you becoming a man's lover, or jealous of you being constantly harassed by the Lu family's eldest lady?"
"Even if you stay with Lu Chenran, so what? If he really likes you, how could he put you in such a difficult situation? So, Zhong Mengxuan, I really don't understand why you feel so superior to me?"
Every word seemed to poke Zhong Mengxuan in the heart. Her face turned pale, and when she looked at Zhong Nian Yao, her eyes were full of hatred, as if she wanted to skin Zhong Nian Yao alive.
"There's no need to hate me like this." Zhong Nianyao said indifferently, "The reason you've ended up like this is because of your own vanity. You can't blame anyone else. Zhong Mengxuan, do you know what the biggest difference between you and me is?"
"That is, even without Lu Yichen, I can still live a good life. I will never rely on a man to live. I am who I am, and I will never become anyone's vassal."
When she said this, Zhong Nianyao's eyes rolled and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "After all, I'm different from you. I have shares in the company and a lot of property. Even if I don't marry for the rest of my life, I can still live a carefree life."
After these words were spoken, Zhong Mengxuan's face became even uglier.
Although they are all daughters of the Zhong family, Zhong Nianyao has already accumulated a large amount of wealth at such a young age. However, she still has to rely on her family's money to live. Every time she sees Zhong Nianyao spending money like water, she can't help but feel jealous.
It was for this reason that she wanted to force her mother to give her shares. Only when she had her own property would she feel confident. However, she didn't expect that in the end, she didn't get the shares, and her mother also had a premature birth. Now, she has been almost abandoned by her family.
She was jealous of Zhong Nianyao, almost going crazy with jealousy. Now she finally had the chance to laugh at Zhong Nianyao, but in the end she was still humiliated by her.
Before Zhong Mengxuan could say anything again, a servant came in hurriedly. But before he could open his mouth, he was scolded by Zhong Mengxuan.
Zhong Mengxuan was already furious because of what Zhong Nianyao said. Now, seeing the impatient servant, she seemed to have found an outlet and vented her anger directly at the servant. "What are you doing? You are so impatient. If you don't want to work anymore, just say so. I will ask the housekeeper to settle your salary and let you go."
Being suddenly scolded, the servant seemed very aggrieved. However, since she needed this job, she did not dare to contradict Zhong Mengxuan. Instead, she lowered her head and said, "It's...it's Third Master Lu who came. He said he wanted to see Third Miss."
She was in such a hurry to come and inform the Third Miss that this was the case. However, she wasn't impatient at all, she was just walking a little faster, and to be scolded for this was really too innocent.
"What did you say?" Zhong Mengxuan reacted strongly, "Who did you say is here?"
No, she must have heard it wrong. Why would Mr. Lu come to see Zhong Nianyao? Hadn't Zhong Nianyao been abandoned?
Such a big reaction startled the servant. She stammered, "It's Third Master Lu who's here. He's waiting outside. He's here to look for Third Miss."
"Impossible, this is impossible." Zhong Mengxuan's face turned gloomy, and she kept muttering to herself, "How could this be? This must be a mistake."
Zhong Nianyao didn't even look at Zhong Mengxuan, and directly ordered the servant, "Then bring him here!"
She was feeling lazy now and really didn't want to move.
"Huh?" The servants were stunned after hearing Zhong Nianyao's order, and asked tentatively, "Third Miss, do you mean—"
The Third Miss didn't go out excitedly, but let Mr. Lu come in by himself?
"Let him come over." Zhong Nianyao said directly, "I'll wait for him here."
