Chapter 420 Appetizer
Seeing Zhong Mengxuan as if it was natural for her to throw the blame on herself, Zhong Nianyao just found it funny, "You can't even control your own man, and now you blame me."
When she said this, as if she had thought of something, she covered her mouth, and her embarrassed expression disappeared. "I almost forgot, you don't have such qualifications. After all, you are not the legal wife. To be honest, you are almost the same as the woman outside Lu Chenran."
Zhong Mengxuan was so angry that she almost died on the spot, "Zhong Nianyao, don't be so proud. Do you think you can really break us up?"
"I never thought of breaking you up. How you two are affectionate is your business and has nothing to do with me." Zhong Nianyao rolled her eyes and continued with a smile, "However, there is one thing I do know. That is why Lu Chenran met another woman."
"Who did it?" Zhong Mengxuan became very excited. She stretched out her hand and wanted to grab Zhong Nianyao's hand, but she dodged it.
Zhong Nianyao withdrew her hand, then said with a smile, "Actually, you must know the person behind this, and you have even met! However, the process and result of your meeting don't seem to be very harmonious!"
Hearing that it was someone she knew, Zhong Mengxuan became even more anxious. There seemed to be a hint of urgency in her tone, "Who is that person?"
As she spoke, she immediately went through the people she knew in her mind, wondering who was stabbing her in the back. She would definitely not let that person have an easy time.
"The eldest lady of the Lu family—Shi Shi." Zhong Nianyao didn't keep anyone in suspense and revealed the answer directly, "She found a lover for her son."
"That's impossible." Zhong Mengxuan retorted subconsciously, "As a lady from a wealthy family, it's impossible for her to do something so shameful."
"You also know that your existence is not worthy of being on the stage!" Zhong Nianyao just found it funny. "Now it seems that you are quite self-aware!"
"Zhong Nianyao!" Zhong Mengxuan roared in a low voice, "Are you actually thinking of dragging innocent people into this just to distance yourself from the matter?"
She would rather believe that Zhong Nianyao did it than that the eldest lady of the Lu family did it, because that would mean she would lose miserably.
"Innocent?" Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "She's not innocent, but neither are you. Why did Madam Lu do this? Don't you have any idea?"
"Before Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui even got married, you had already meddled in their affairs and even tried to influence the marriage. Later, you broke your agreement with her and even made your affair with Lu Chenran known to everyone, nearly bringing both the Lu and Long families to their knees."
"Do you really think that at that time, Madam Lu had no opinion about you at all? The reason she kept it to herself was simply because she didn't want to cause unhappiness with her son because of you."
"Lu Chenran's interest in you isn't as strong as before, so she's naturally taking advantage of this opportunity to try to divide you two. She's not a soft-hearted person, and this is just the beginning."
Although she didn't know Madam Lu's full plan, this little fight was obviously just the appetizer. Zhong Mengxuan would have to endure more in the future!
"Impossible, this is impossible, you are lying to me."
Zhong Mengxuan covered her ears and shook her head, as if to deny the fact. However, in her heart, she had long known that what Zhong Nianyao said was true.
"Okay, now that you know everything, get out of the way!" Zhong Nianyao glanced at Zhong Mengxuan indifferently, "I have a banquet tonight, I need to rest. Don't disturb me."
"No, you can't leave."
Seeing Zhong Nianyao about to enter the room, Zhong Mengxuan became anxious, "Zhong Nianyao, is what you said true?"
"You know it in your heart, don't you?" Zhong Nianyao sneered and said, "Also, a good dog doesn't block the road."
As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Zhong Mengxuan, with a chill that penetrated her bones, as if she would not be polite if Zhong Mengxuan did not move away.
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's attitude, Zhong Mengxuan wanted to be angry, but when she saw the coldness in Zhong Nianyao's eyes, she slowly put her hand down and finally stepped aside.
Zhong Nianyao didn't even look at Zhong Mengxuan again, she just pushed the door open and walked in.
It wasn't until the door slammed shut that Zhong Mengxuan came to her senses. She stared at the door in front of her and raised her foot to kick it down.
But when she thought of the chill that Zhong Nianyao had just exuded, she couldn't help but shudder. In the end, she silently put her foot down.
She kept telling herself in her heart that the reason she acted like this was not because she was afraid of Zhong Nianyao, but because she didn't want to cause trouble on a good day like today. No matter what, this was Grandpa's birthday party. If something really happened today, Grandpa's attitude towards her would definitely be even worse.
Now that Lu Chenran has another woman by his side, she can't just sit there and wait for death. She must quickly repair her relationship with her family. With her family as a backing, she will be more confident.
"Mengxuan, why are you here?"
The sudden voice startled Zhong Mengxuan. She looked up and saw Zhong Mengfan walking towards her with a gentle smile on his face, which made people feel comfortable.
However, she obviously did not feel comfortable.
"Why can't I be here?" Zhong Mengxuan sneered, "This is my home. Do I need your permission to be here?"
In contrast to Zhong Mengxuan's aggressiveness, Zhong Mengfan seemed much calmer. Even when he saw Zhong Mengxuan's attitude, he was not angry. He still smiled and said, "You misunderstood. I just saw you standing at Nian Yao's door, so I was a little surprised."
"Does this have anything to do with you?" Zhong Mengxuan looked at Zhong Mengfan with disdain in her eyes, "Zhong Mengfan, my affairs are none of your business. If you have time, why not take a good look at this new brother your mother gave you. After all, you are related by blood!"
Zhong Mengxuan emphasized the four words "blood-related" word by word.
