Chapter 421: Chatting
Hearing Zhong Mengxuan's words, the smile on Zhong Mengfan's face did not change at all, "Yes! That child is very cute, my parents and my eldest brother all like this child very much."
Zhong Mengxuan was clearly dissatisfied with Zhong Mengfan's composure. A hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, and she immediately spoke, "Yes! He's a good child, but it's a pity that he doesn't have good parents! Not to mention what kind of person his biological father is, his biological mother also abandoned him. He's truly pitiful!"
The reason she mentioned this child was to mock Zhong Mengfan. The child was Zhong Mengfan's, and the father was a small-time gangster. She didn't know what was going on in Zhong Mengfan's mind. He actually fell in love with a small-time gangster in the first place. He was really stupid.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Mengfan talked about this child without any hesitation. She didn't believe that he really didn't care at all!
To Zhong Mengxuan's surprise, Zhong Mengfan's expression remained unchanged, but his words revealed a threat. "Mengxuan, what are you talking about! This child's parents are my parents? Have you forgotten what grandpa once said?"
"If Grandpa knew you were talking nonsense here and making up rumors about the child's background, I'm afraid he would be angry again."
At this point, she couldn't help but sigh, "Mengxuan, you're not a child anymore, why are you still so outspoken? Luckily, I was the one who heard it. If someone else heard it and spread nonsense outside, affecting the reputation of our Zhong family, I'm afraid Grandpa would really punish you."
These words, which were both offensive and defensive, made Zhong Mengxuan's expression change again and again, but she didn't dare to mention the child anymore.
She wasn't afraid of Zhong Mengfan, but she was wary of her grandfather. If she wanted to repair her relationship with her family, she absolutely couldn't make her grandfather angry again.
However, she would not let Zhong Mengfan feel easy, so she changed the subject, but still targeted Zhong Mengfan.
"Zhong Mengfan, come to think of it, it's been a while since you came back." Zhong Mengxuan said with a fake smile, "Since you came back, have you contacted your old friends? Especially those good friends you used to be close to?"
No matter how much Zhong Mengfan denies it, it cannot change the fact that he once followed a gangster. This will always be a stain on Zhong Mengfan.
A hint of gloom flashed across Zhong Mengfan's eyes, but his expression remained unchanged. "I've reconnected with some old friends. However, after going through so much, I've come to understand one thing: when it comes to the past, it should be cut short without hesitation. After all, not all friends are worth making."
Since Zhong Mengfan didn't say it explicitly, Zhong Mengxuan naturally couldn't point it out.
However, looking at Zhong Mengfan now, she felt a sense of unreality. In the past, she always thought that Zhong Mengfan was a brainless, explosive person who would ignite at any moment. However, the current Zhong Mengfan was completely transformed. She had said so many harsh words, but until now, Zhong Mengfan's expression had not changed at all.
This kind of Zhong Mengfan made her feel particularly unfamiliar and frightened.
Seeing that Zhong Mengxuan didn't say anything, Zhong Mengfan's gaze passed over Zhong Mengxuan and fell on Zhong Nianyao's door. He then smiled and said with envy, "If we really talk about it, among us sisters, the most amazing one is Nianyao."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Zhong Mengxuan subconsciously retorted, "What are you talking about? What's so great about Zhong Nianyao? She's just been doing whatever she wants by relying on her grandparents' love. If she really had a brain, she wouldn't have followed Li Jingming around like a dog-skin plaster before."
"That was in the past," Zhong Mengfan continued. "Nian Yao is very powerful now. Even the Third Master of the Lu family has fallen in love with her. The heads of the two families are about to meet. I think Nian Yao will soon be able to marry into the Lu family and become the Third Madam of the Lu family."
For some reason, Zhong Mengxuan always felt that Zhong Mengfan's words were particularly harsh. Especially when she heard the words "legitimate", she felt a little uneasy.
They were obviously in love with someone from the Lu family, and she chose the most promising eldest son and grandson of the Lu family, while Zhong Nianyao chose just a sickly person.
However, Zhong Nianyao was about to marry into the Lu family. Moreover, from Lu Chenran's mouth, she also knew that Third Master Lu was not as bad as the rumors said, and even had a vague power that no one knew about.
She was the complete opposite. After all her hard work, she was now a lover who was not allowed to see the light of day. Moreover, Lu Chenran now had another woman. She even discovered a fact: in Lu Chenran's eyes, she was just a plaything.
Such a huge gap made her jealousy surge, and she couldn't suppress it no matter what.
At an angle that Zhong Mengxuan didn't see, a strange light flashed in Zhong Mengfan's eyes.
"It's getting late, Mengxuan. Do you want to take a break or go straight to your styling?"
As if his previous sigh was just a passing emotion, Zhong Mengfan changed the subject, "There will be quite a few guests coming tonight, so it's better to get ready early."
When she said this, as if she remembered something, she smiled and continued, "Master Lu should be here tonight. He values Nian Yao so much, he will definitely not miss a day like Grandpa's birthday."
"After tonight, the story between Nian Yao and Mr. Lu will probably be widely known. By then, everyone will surely envy Nian Yao!"
"Zhong Mengfan, what exactly do you want to say?" Zhong Mengxuan seemed a little irritated, and her tone was full of impatience. "Are you trying to tell me how well Zhong Nianyao is doing?"
"Mengxuan, what's wrong with you?" Zhong Mengfan looked surprised and puzzled. "I was just chatting with you. I didn't have anything special to say! Besides, I'm very grateful to Nian Yao. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be working at Zhong's now."
"What? You're working at Zhong's now?" Zhong Mengxuan's eyes widened, and when she looked at Zhong Mengfan, her face was full of jealousy. "Zhong Mengfan, what gives you the right? What qualifications do you have to work at Zhong's? How could Grandpa possibly agree to such a ridiculous thing? What on earth have you done?"
