Chapter 386 Jealousy
Lu Yilei opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't utter a single word. He couldn't forcefully say he wanted to get married, because he knew he couldn't leave his family. However, he couldn't let down the girl he loved, especially now that she had his child.
For a moment, Lu Yile was caught in a dilemma.
Mr. Lu didn't say anything. He still looked at Lu Yile quietly, waiting for his answer.
Zhong Nianyao, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but praise in her heart, this Mr. Lu is indeed the one at the helm! Without further ado, he directly used his ultimate move, asking Lu Yilei to choose between his future and love.
It seems that Mr. Lu really doesn't think highly of Meng Rou! Otherwise, he wouldn't force Lu Yilei to make such a choice.
Because Mr. Lu had immediately resorted to such a powerful move, Mrs. Lu, who had been a little anxious at first, now calmed down. She sat there without urging him. However, when she looked at Meng Rou, her eyes were still filled with hostility and disdain. Because in her opinion, the culprit behind all this was this woman.
After a long while, Lu Yilei suddenly spoke up, "Dad, why can't you help me? What's wrong with Xiaorou? Why do you reject her like this?"
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao and continued, "When Third Brother liked Miss Zhong, didn't you object? Why are you so against Xiaorou and me now?"
He really didn't understand at all. Even if he was biased, he couldn't be this biased!
Aren't Zhong Nianyao and Meng Rou's family backgrounds similar? It can even be said that Meng Rou is better off than Zhong Nianyao. This is because Meng Rou is the youngest daughter in the family and has both parents.
During the previous family dinner, my father personally invited her to the house. Moreover, he invited Zhong Nianyao to both of these important gatherings, clearly treating her as his daughter-in-law. He even mentioned the marriage directly during the first visit.
However, when it came to his girlfriend, his attitude was completely different. She was treated coldly the first time she visited her, and was not allowed to get married even though she was pregnant.
This degree of partiality made him feel extremely dissatisfied.
Zhong Nian Yao, who was watching the play, was really confused at this moment. Just now, she was clearly the one watching the play on the side, but now she has become the protagonist of the play.
Lu Yichen looked at Lu Yile with a cold expression, obviously very unhappy about being dragged into this.
"You're questioning me, aren't you?" Old Master Lu's face was filled with a hint of anger. "I don't need to give you any explanation for what I do. I'm not dead yet, and I'm still the one in charge of this family. If you're not convinced, you can just get out of this house. I promise I won't stop you."
Lu Yilei was a little short of breath, "I——"
"That's what I have to say!" Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "Master Lu, you want to protect your girlfriend, it has nothing to do with me. But you drag me into this, that's not appropriate! There's a huge difference between Meng Rou and me, we-"
"Stop talking," Meng Rou said quickly. She reached out and shook the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Lu, saying sincerely, "Grandpa, Madam, this is our first meeting. You don't know me very well, so I understand why you made this decision."
"I like Yilei. I'm with him not because of his status, but because I really like him. I know you won't believe it, but I believe that time will prove everything."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Lu Yilei, and continued, "Yilei, I know you want to give me and the child a legitimate status. But if this causes a quarrel between you and your family, then wouldn't I become a sinner?"
"Actually, what Madam Lu said just now is right. As long as you are sincere to me, whether or not you have that piece of paper is not that important at all. As for the child——"
She placed her hand on her belly, a satisfied smile on her face. "This is the fruit of our love. No matter what, I will definitely give birth to it. Even if we are not married, this is our child. Are you going to ignore me and the child just because our relationship is not legally guaranteed?"
"I definitely won't." Lu Yilei spoke quickly. When he looked at Meng Rou, his eyes were filled with emotion. "Xiao Rou, you are so sensible. Meeting you is the greatest luck of my life."
Meng Rou looked at Lu Yile with a faint smile, her eyes full of tenderness and trust.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel relieved. At least, things were temporarily stable now.
No matter how she looked at it, the wedding wouldn't happen today. Mr. and Mrs. Lu's attitudes were clear, and even if she could truly control Lu Yilei's emotions, she wouldn't be able to change the minds of these two elders.
Moreover, she couldn't really let Lu Yilei leave the Lu family! If Lu Yilei wasn't a member of the Lu family, she wouldn't have bothered to do so much.
However, in her heart, the biggest hidden danger now is Zhong Nianyao. Because Zhong Nianyao knows everything about her, if she tells it out, then she will really have nothing.
Because Meng Rou gave in, Lu Yilei didn't continue to pester her. Perhaps in his subconscious, he was unwilling to leave the Lu family. Even for the woman he loved, he couldn't do it.
Without Lu Yile's pestering, the dinner time that followed was relatively harmonious.
However, at the dinner table, everyone's attitudes towards Zhong Nianyao and Meng Rou could almost be said to be at two extremes.
Even Mrs. Lu, in contrast to Meng Rou, began to favor Zhong Nianyao. However, considering that Meng Rou was pregnant with Lu Yilei's child, she did not embarrass her.
Although Meng Rou had a smile on her face, the jealousy in her heart was about to overflow.
She just didn't understand why she was inferior to Zhong Nianyao? Why did the Lu family treat her and Zhong Nianyao so differently?
Especially Mr. Lu, who almost treated Zhong Nianyao as his future daughter-in-law, and was so kind and gentle. He even hinted at the marriage, as if Zhong Nianyao could immediately join the Lu family as long as she agreed.
Such a contrast made her feel like a joke here.
