Chapter 471 Fear
"Zhong Nianyao, stop beating around the bush." Zhong Mengxuan said anxiously, "You clearly have a solution. Before, when my mom fell during her pregnancy, you were able to save her."
Zhong Mengxuan was the only one who was anxious. No one else made any big noise. Even Zhong Mingyu, upon seeing Zhong Nianyao approach, simply glanced up and said nothing more.
"So?" Zhong Nianyao was unmoved. She shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I'm not a doctor. What's the use of rushing over? Besides, I think your memory may not be very good. You may have forgotten what your mother did to me last night!"
"I—" Zhong Mengxuan was speechless, then choked up and said, "No matter how big the matter is, when it comes to life and death, we should stand aside! Zhong Nianyao, why do you hold a grudge like this?"
Zhong Nianyao nodded in agreement. "I think you're right, too, especially the premise about life and death. Last night, when your mother wanted my heart's blood, she probably meant to take my life!"
"Zhong Nianyao, you—" Zhong Mengxuan stomped her feet and said angrily, "You are just watching someone die without helping."
"alright."
Old Master Zhong, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up. He glanced at Zhong Mengxuan and said coldly, "I know you're upset now that your mother's in trouble. Everyone can understand that. However, you'd better understand the whole story now."
"From the beginning to the end, did Yaoyao have anything to do with this matter? It was the driver who hit your mother, and it was the medical staff at the hospital who rescued her. Yaoyao has already done her utmost to come and show some concern."
"Grandpa, why are you so partial?" Zhong Mengxuan was very dissatisfied. "She, Zhong Nianyao, clearly has the ability to save my mother. Not only my mother, but also Xiaokang, but she chose to stand by and watch. Why do you always favor her like this?"
"I'm not taking sides. I'm just speaking the truth." Old Master Zhong shook his head and looked at Zhong Mengxuan with disappointment. "Mengxuan, after going through so much, I thought you'd become more mature. Now it seems I overestimated you. Even now, you're still like a child, completely clueless."
Although he once said that he would no longer care about his granddaughter Zhong Mengxuan, they are still related by blood. He still hopes that Zhong Mengxuan can grow up and become a responsible person.
However, after so many things happened, he became increasingly disappointed with Zhong Mengxuan. No matter what happened, Zhong Mengxuan always wanted to put the blame on others. In fact, she often did things without knowing right from wrong and just followed her own ideas.
"Grandpa, I know you don't like me." Zhong Mengxuan didn't feel she was wrong at all, "But the person lying in the intensive care unit now is my mother. If Zhong Nianyao had any compassion and offered to help, my mother wouldn't be like this."
Mr. Zhong wanted to say something, but was interrupted before he could open his mouth.
"You mean to say that Yao'er could have saved your mother, but she deliberately didn't, right?"
Lu Yichen, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly interrupted. His tone was icy cold, and when he looked at Zhong Mengxuan, there was no warmth in his eyes. "What grounds do you have for saying that? And why are you so sure that Yao'er has the ability to save people?"
Zhong Mengxuan was very angry when she was suddenly questioned. However, after seeing who was questioning her and feeling a chill, she couldn't help but shudder. Then she tried hard to control her inner fear and said with a brave face, "She does have a way, but you are unwilling to take action."
In the past, she had never had any direct contact with Lu Yichen, and only knew about Lu Yichen from outsiders.
It can even be said that she looked down on Lu Yichen, thinking that if he was not lucky enough to be born into the Lu family, he might not be able to live that long!
Even after she knew about Lu Yichen's ability and saw that Lu Yichen's words could make Lu Chenran temporarily separate from her, she still didn't have an accurate idea.
This was her first time facing Lu Yichen, and she felt as if her entire body had been immersed in ice water. The chill almost surged from her heart.
At this moment, she was relying entirely on her willpower to hold herself back from running away.
"What a joke! It's all just your imagination." Lu Yichen said coldly, "Zhong Mengxuan, I don't care about you or what you think in your heart, but please take care of yourself."
"If I hear something I don't like from you again, I don't mind making you unable to say anything in the future."
Lu Yichen's tone was not harsh, but full of indifference.
However, Zhong Mengxuan could feel an endless fear throughout her body. It was the fear of facing the threat of death. She felt that in Lu Yichen's eyes, she was like an ant.
Moreover, she had a very certain feeling in her heart that Lu Yichen was not just talking, but could really do it.
Thinking of this, Zhong Mengxuan's hands and feet felt cold, her lips trembled, and even her body couldn't help but start to shake.
"Well, Third Master Lu," Zhong Mingyu said cautiously, "This matter is indeed Mengxuan's fault. I'm here to apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive Mengxuan this time."
Although he was very angry about what Zhong Mengxuan had done, he even thought about giving up on his daughter completely.
However, this is his daughter after all, he has raised her since she was a child. Even if she has done too many wrong things, she is still his daughter. So he can't be completely indifferent and let Zhong Mengxuan fall into the whirlpool.
Lu Yichen didn't even look at Zhong Mingyu, but just withdrew his gaze with an indifferent look, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Zhong Mengxuan just stood there, and although she didn't say anything, the fear on her face had not yet faded and was clearly visible. At this point, she actually didn't realize her mistake. She felt that the reason Lu Yichen was suppressing her now was just because of the matter between her and Zhong Nianyao.
