Chapter 387 Let’s Chat
After school, Zhong Nianyao did not make an appointment with Lu Yichen, she wanted to go to Zhong's Jewelry.
She had previously unearthed some jade in Myanmar, and she had deliberately left some of it unprocessed. Among them was a piece of imperial green with very good water color.
Mr. Zhong's birthday was coming up soon, and she planned to use this piece of imperial jade to carve an ornament for him as a birthday gift. However, she didn't have such superb skills, and she was afraid of wasting such fine jade, so she decided to ask the craftsmen at Zhong's Jewelry to help her carve it.
Last night, she had already made an appointment with the master to go there today.
However, just as he reached the door, he was blocked by someone. The person blocking his way was none other than Meng Rou, whom he had just met yesterday.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhong Nianyao glanced at Meng Rou indifferently, a hint of sarcasm on her lips. "As far as I remember, we didn't have much in common. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to block my way like this?"
"Zhong Nianyao, let's find a place to talk!" Meng Rou looked at Zhong Nianyao with a hint of pleading in her tone, "I won't take up too much of your time. I just want to chat with you for a few words."
"Then let's talk about it here." Zhong Nianyao looked very casual. "Since you have already said only a few words, you can just say it here. Don't waste everyone's time."
"No." Meng Rou seemed a little excited, and her voice unconsciously rose a degree. However, when she felt the strange looks from the people around her, she immediately lowered her voice, "Let's find a place to sit down and talk! I'm talking about private matters, and there are too many people here. I think you probably don't want to discuss your private matters in such a crowded place!"
Zhong Nian Yao did not answer, she just stared at Meng Rou in front of her.
It wasn't until Meng Rou was about to give up that she slowly said, "Okay then!"
Ten minutes later——
The two sat down in a cafe near the college.
Tenglong College is an aristocratic school, so a coffee shop located near the school is naturally high-end. Therefore, the environment inside this coffee shop is very quiet.
Although school had just ended, there weren't many people drinking coffee at this time, so it was even quieter and perfect for conversation.
At least, Meng Rou was very satisfied with this environment.
The two sat down in a corner of the cafe.
After the waiter placed the coffee in front of them, neither Zhong Nianyao nor Meng Rou spoke first. For a moment, the silence between the two of them was unusual, and the silence was a little strange.
Finally, Meng Rou couldn't help herself and said, "Zhong Nianyao, I believe you know the reason why I came to see you today."
"How would I know?" Zhong Nianyao shrugged, looking nonchalant. "You and I are not familiar with each other at all. To be honest, we have only met a few times. How would I know why you came to see me?"
"Zhong Nianyao, you clearly know this." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Meng Rou's face. She tried hard to suppress the jealousy and anger in her heart. After taking a deep breath, she continued, "I came to you because I have something to ask of you."
When she said this, she raised her head and looked at Zhong Nianyao, her tone filled with sincere pleading, "I hope you don't tell the Lu family about my past."
If possible, she really didn't want to come to Zhong Nianyao at all. But when she thought of the look Zhong Nianyao gave her last night, she was terrified.
She was very scared. She was very scared that Zhong Nian Yao would reveal everything about her past. If that happened, she would never be able to enter the Lu family again.
If possible, she really wanted to kill Zhong Nianyao directly. As long as Zhong Nianyao died, all the things would be buried.
However, this was just a thought, she didn't have that ability yet.
So, after thinking about it all night, she decided to come to Zhong Nian Yao in person early this morning and ask her not to tell anyone about the matter.
Now, when she faced Zhong Nianyao, she felt a wave of embarrassment. But for her own future, in order to hold on to Lu Yilei, she could only bow to Zhong Nianyao.
"Since you can do it, why are you afraid of being found out?" Zhong Nianyao picked up the coffee in front of her, took a sip, and then slowly spoke, "Also, what gives you the right to ask me to lie for you?"
"What good will it do you to expose me?"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's refusal, Meng Rou became anxious. "It's good for us to keep to ourselves. Why do you have to ruin my happiness? Zhong Nianyao, you can't be so selfish."
"Selfish?"
Zhong Nianyao felt like she had just heard a huge joke. "Meng Rou, you're the one criticizing me, calling me selfish? Don't you think it's a little ridiculous that someone like you, who only thinks about yourself, is accusing me of being selfish?"
Hearing the sarcasm in Zhong Nianyao's words, Meng Rou was furious. However, thinking that she still had the upper hand in her hand, she could only try to suppress her inner anger and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just don't want to lose my happiness."
"Zhong Nianyao, I was so miserable before, can't you just pity me? Besides, this won't cause any loss to you, right?"
"Meng Rou, you don't have to come to me." Zhong Nianyao looked at Meng Rou sitting across from her, a cold smile on her lips, and said, "I'm not interested in your affairs. However, if the Lu family asks, I won't hide it."
"You can't." Meng Rou's face changed drastically. "You absolutely can't tell anyone. If you tell anyone, I'll be finished."
"This has nothing to do with me. I won't lie to anyone for you." Zhong Nianyao crossed her arms over her chest. "You're not qualified to ask me to lie to you. Also, don't ask me if I can do it or not. You know it clearly in your heart, don't you?"
Suddenly, Meng Rou's face turned as pale as paper. Her lips trembled and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Zhong Nianyao's eyes fell on Meng Rou's belly with interest, and she suddenly said, "I heard that pregnant women should not drink coffee because caffeine will have a bad effect on the baby in the belly. Aren't you pregnant? Why are you still drinking coffee here? Or are you actually-"
