Chapter 396: No help
In the private room——
Lu Yichen and Zhong Nian Yao sat on one side, Lu Yile and Meng Rou sat on the other. Although it couldn't be said that they were clearly separated, the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.
Although Meng Rou had a smile on her face, she felt very uneasy and anxious in her heart.
Now she doesn't want to see Zhong Nian Yao at all, let alone sit at the same table to eat with her.
To her, Zhong Nian Yao is a time bomb that may explode at any time, destroying everything she has now.
However, no matter how much she resisted deep down in her heart, she could never show it in front of Lu Yile, and she could not let Lu Yile notice anything unusual.
Lu Yilei stood up and poured tea for Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao before sitting down. He spoke with some envy, "Third brother, you and Miss Zhong have a really good relationship! Do you have any plans on settling down?"
Lu Yichen seemed quite interested in this topic, so after hearing what Lu Yilei said, his originally cold expression softened. He turned his head and looked at Zhong Nianyao beside him, saying, "When Yao'er agrees, then we'll make it a decision."
The topic suddenly shifted to herself. Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I haven't even graduated from college yet!"
"I really envy you guys," Lu Yilei said with some meaning. "My parents don't object to your relationship at all. I even encountered so many obstacles when I wanted to get married."
After hearing Lu Yile's words, Zhong Nianyao just smiled and didn't say anything.
As for Lu Yichen, it goes without saying that he didn't even intend to speak.
Seeing this, Lu Yilei couldn't pretend anymore. He looked directly at Lu Yichen and said, "Third brother, you are the one that Dad loves the most. Go and plead for me and Xiaorou! Xiaorou is already pregnant with my child, we have to give her a legitimate status!"
The reason why he suggested having dinner together today was because he hoped to ask Lu Yichen for help.
Normally, he and his third brother didn't interact much. Or to be more precise, Lu Yichen didn't interact much with anyone in the Lu family.
However, because Lu Yichen had always been frail and sickly, his father paid more attention to him. The other sons had also been jealous, but since they were brothers, they wouldn't do anything. Furthermore, Lu Yichen's health was indeed poor, so they shouldn't fight over anything.
However, it was only recently that everyone realized how well Lu Yichen had been hiding his true identity. No one knew what kind of hidden tricks he had, but the fact that he had caused such a stir showed how deep his background was.
He had a clear understanding of the matter of this marriage. The key issue still lay with his father. As long as his father was willing to give in, he could marry Xiaorou.
He felt that the only person who could persuade his father to change his mind was probably Lu Yichen.
Meng Rou, who was standing beside him, looked up suddenly after hearing Lu Yilei's words. A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she was moved. Obviously, she had not expected that Lu Yilei would actually beg Lu Yichen for him. This inevitably made her heart surge with a touch of emotion.
However, as if she had thought of something, there was a trace of struggle in her eyes, and then she calmed down.
"Third brother, please say a few words for me!" Seeing that Lu Yichen didn't answer, Lu Yilei continued to persuade, "For you, this is just a few words, but for us, it is a great favor. Third brother, as long as you help me this time, then in the future, whether it's climbing a mountain of swords or diving into a sea of fire, I will definitely not refuse a single word."
At this time, Lu Yichen turned his head, glanced at Lu Yile, and then said coldly, "I won't help."
"Why?" Lu Yilei's tone was a little anxious. "Third brother, I'm not asking you to do anything against the will of heaven. I just want you to help persuade Dad. It's just a piece of cake for you. Please help me this time! I really want to get married."
When he said this, he turned his head and glanced at Meng Rou beside him, his eyes full of affection. "I'm serious this time. This is the first time I've fallen in love with a girl, and it's not an impulse. I'm very sure that this is the woman I want to spend my life with. I want to marry her."
"Yilei!" Meng Rou's heart and eyes were filled with emotion. At this moment, she felt happy.
However, when she thought of Zhong Nianyao who was sitting in the same private room with her, her originally passionate heart cooled down.
"That's your own business." Lu Yichen said coldly, without a trace of brotherly affection in his tone. "If you want to get married, then you have to overcome the difficulties yourself. I can't help you."
Looking at Lu Yichen's indifferent look as if it had nothing to do with him, Lu Yile was furious, but he had no way to force him to do anything.
So, he had no choice but to shift his target to Zhong Nianyao. "Ms. Zhong, you are also a girl. If you were pregnant, wouldn't you want to marry the father of the child? If the child is born as an illegitimate child, wouldn't it be too pitiful?"
Since Lu Yichen couldn't convince him, he would start with Zhong Nianyao.
Lu Yichen saw all these feelings. As long as he could convince Zhong Nianyao, Lu Yichen would definitely be shaken.
"Me?" Zhong Nianyao blinked, then smiled. "I think if you want to get married, then get married. Since you love Meng Rou so much, why can't you give up everything for her?"
As soon as these words came out, all the words that Lu Yilei wanted to say were stuck in his throat. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to Zhong Nianyao's words.
He did love Meng Rou, but that didn't mean he was willing to give up his identity as the fourth master of the Lu family!
Unable to answer, Lu Yilei's gaze fell on Lu Yichen again, "Third brother, what about you? What if Dad also told you that if you want to marry Miss Zhong, you must leave the Lu family? What choice will you make?"
"Of course I have to leave the Lu family and marry Yao'er!" Lu Yichen said as if it was a matter of course, "Since I like her, I am willing to give everything for her!"
"There are gains and losses. It all depends on what is most important to you."
When he spoke, he looked at Lu Yile as if he was a fool, as if to say, is there any need to think about such a question?
