Chapter 445: Being a Gunner
"Zhong Nianyao, are you telling the truth?" Zhong Mengxuan was very skeptical. "Are you really willing to let this go? And don't want any compensation?"
She didn't believe that Zhong Nianyao would be so kind. Otherwise, why didn't she want to let it go in the beginning and force her parents to divorce? If it wasn't for the divorce, her mother wouldn't be hurt.
"Of course it's true." Zhong Nianyao blinked her big eyes and said confidently, "I will definitely not pursue it anymore. After all, I really haven't been hurt at all!"
Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong looked at Zhong Nian Yao thoughtfully. They did not miss the emphasized words in Zhong Nian Yao's words and were not hurt at all.
Zhong Minghao didn't understand what was going on, and when he looked at Zhong Nian Yao, his eyes were strange.
After hearing the few words that Zhong Nianyao emphasized, Zhong Jinghao's eyes flashed with thought.
After Mr. Li and Li Chengru exchanged glances, they didn't see any relief in each other's eyes. They always felt that there must be a deeper meaning in Zhong Nianyao's words.
"Zhong Nianyao, it's settled then." Zhong Mengxuan couldn't contain the excitement in her eyes, "You can't go back on your word!"
"Of course." Zhong Nianyao nodded. "As someone who wasn't hurt at all, it's naturally inconvenient for me to pursue the matter further. Otherwise, I'd be morally blackmailed by you all again. However, if those who were actually hurt want to pursue the matter, that's none of my business."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned except the Li father and son.
When Zhong Mengxuan went back to tell the story, she only said that Li Yiqiu had not really hurt Zhong Nianyao, but she did not mention that Li Yiqiu had actually hurt anyone. Otherwise, Mr. Li and Li Chengru would not have come to the door like this.
Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes.
Zhong Minghao immediately understood what Zhong Nianyao meant. When he looked at her again, his eyes were filled with a hint of deep meaning. It seemed that he had indeed underestimated her. No wonder she was willing to let it go. It turned out that she was not planning to let it go, but to find a different way to hold her accountable.
There was no change in the expression on Zhong Jinghao's face. Obviously, he had already thought of it from the beginning.
"Zhong Nianyao, what do you mean?" Zhong Mengxuan's smile hadn't faded yet when she was shocked by Zhong Nianyao's next words. She almost jumped up. "Didn't you promise not to pursue this matter?"
"I won't pursue it!" Zhong Nianyao spread her hands, looking innocent. "But if others want to pursue it, I can't do anything about it! When the time comes, you can't use the excuse that you weren't injured anymore!"
"You——" Zhong Mengxuan was so angry that she could hardly speak.
"What exactly do you mean by this?" Mr. Li obviously sensed something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "Who is this injured person you're talking about?"
"Hey, Mr. Zhong, didn't Zhong Mengxuan explain everything to you clearly when she asked you to be her rescuer?" Zhong Nianyao covered her mouth, looking very surprised. "Second Aunt's target was me, but I was lucky and didn't get hurt. However, this doesn't mean that no one else was hurt. The person who was injured is——"
Under the nervous gazes of Mr. Li and Li Chengru, Zhong Nianyao slowly uttered a name, "Lu Yichen."
When this name came out, both Mr. Li and Li Chengru were stunned for a moment, and then they immediately reacted.
"Lu Yichen, the third master of the Lu family?" Li Chengru asked tentatively.
Because of the relationship between Zhong Mengxuan and Lu Chenran, they naturally knew who Lu Yichen was. And as relatives of the Zhong family, they also heard about the relationship between Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen.
Now, suddenly hearing Lu Yichen's name, they felt dizzy. However, even so, they still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that it was not the same person.
"Yes!" Zhong Nianyao blinked her eyes, looking innocent. "It's him. I think Zhong Mengxuan probably didn't tell you that Second Aunt stabbed Lu Yichen last night. It was such a big wound that she needed several stitches! He bled a lot."
"A lot of people saw this last night. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask around."
While speaking, Zhong Nianyao was gesturing to show how long Lu Yichen's wound was.
Old Master Li and Li Chengru looked at Zhong Nianyao's innocent appearance, but they had already started cursing her in their hearts.
No wonder Zhong Nianyao had so easily agreed not to pursue the matter! It turned out she was waiting for them here.
They had no idea that Lu Yichen was injured. If they had known, they would definitely not have come today. After all, the shares were nothing compared to the revenge of Lu Yichen and the Lu family.
Zhong Nianyao doesn't want to pursue the matter now, but what she means is that Lu Yichen will continue to pursue the matter.
With Zhong Nianyao in the Zhong family, Lu Yichen wouldn't do anything. However, wouldn't the Li family be implicated by Li Yiqiu?
No wonder Old Man Zhong wanted Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu to divorce! It turns out there was another reason behind this.
Old Master Li's sharp eyes fell on Zhong Mengxuan, with anger in his eyes.
He wasn't a fool, so he naturally wouldn't believe that Zhong Mengxuan had forgotten to mention such an important thing because she was anxious. The only possibility was that Zhong Mengxuan knew that if she really told them that Li Yiqiu had hurt Lu Yichen, they would definitely not come.
Therefore, Zhong Mengxuan definitely did it on purpose. By doing this, she was simply using them as guns.
Now they are facing such a dilemma, but Zhong Mengxuan said nothing, which is simply hateful.
Zhong Mengxuan dodged and didn't dare to look at Mr. Li and Li Chengru.
She didn't mean to do that, but she was worried that if she told them, her grandfather and uncle would really refuse to come. She had no one else to rely on, so she could only find her mother's family.
She didn't expect that Zhong Nian Yao would actually tell this matter in front of everyone, and the implicit meaning was that Lu Yichen would continue to pursue the matter.
After taking a deep breath, Mr. Li spoke again, but he was not facing Zhong Nianyao, but Mr. Zhong. "My dear relatives, there are some things I think we can still discuss. There is no need to make the relationship between the two families too awkward."
