Chapter 471 Worry
Lu Yichen gave Zhong Nian Yao a soothing look but did not explain anything.
Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows and didn't ask any more questions. With so many people around, she decided to just forget it. She would ask more carefully later when they were alone.
Old Master Zhong sat down, his attitude changed, and he even looked a little anxious. "Then Yichen, let's meet up as soon as possible! Let's not put off the matter between you and Yaoyao any longer."
Except for Lu Yichen, everyone else was a little confused.
Mr. Zhong's attitude changed so quickly! He was hesitating just now, but now he's urging us to make a decision quickly.
Everyone couldn't help but start to wonder if Lu Yichen had cast a spell on Mr. Zhong! How could Mr. Zhong change so drastically just by going to the study?
However, no matter what Lu Yichen said to Mr. Zhong, the final result is now a happy ending for everyone.
After discussing the specific details of the meeting between the two families, Lu Yichen also stood up and said goodbye.
Zhong Nianyao sent him out and took the opportunity to ask, "What exactly did you say to Grandpa just now? How could his attitude change so quickly?"
Lu Yichen didn't hide anything and spoke directly, "I told him everything truthfully, and he agreed to our engagement."
"Everything?" Zhong Nianyao frowned, a puzzled look on her face. "What is it?"
"It's about your parents." Lu Yichen continued, "I told him directly that I hope to wait until we have a formal relationship, and then we can go to find your parents together with good reason."
"Why did you tell him about this?" Zhong Nianyao frowned. "You don't know, they've been worried sick about my father's affairs all these years. Now we don't even know what the outcome will be, and you told him first. If the result is not good, won't they be disappointed?"
"Your grandfather isn't that fragile." Lu Yichen smiled and shook his head. "Besides, you really shouldn't have kept this from them. You know very well that they've been thinking about your father all these years."
"Now that there's information, they have a right to know."
After hearing Lu Yichen's words, Zhong Nianyao lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Okay, don't think too much." Lu Yichen reached out and patted Zhong Nianyao's head, smiling and saying, "Whether it's Mr. Zhong or Mrs. Zhong, they've both been through a lot. They'll definitely be able to handle such a small matter well. Besides, as parents, they have the right to know about this matter."
Zhong Nianyao sighed, then nodded, "Perhaps it's a good thing for them to know! For so many years, they were the only ones who believed that their father was still alive. Perhaps this is a comfort to them!"
On the other side, after Lu Yichen left, Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong also returned to their room.
As soon as he returned to the room, Mr. Zhong told Mrs. Zhong what had happened.
"You mean..." Mrs. Zhong's throat choked a little, "They have news about the third brother?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned slightly red and tears filled her eyes.
Over the years, she has always believed that the third brother is not dead, but just encountered an accident, so he cannot contact them.
It was with this belief that she had managed to hold on for so many years. Otherwise, she would have been crushed by the pain of losing her son long ago. However, in her heart, she had a vague premonition that something bad was going to happen. However, she would never admit that her son was dead until the body was found.
Later, she heard from Yaoyao that her son was still alive, and her hope was rekindled.
But now, her husband told her that Yaoyao had already given birth to a son. How could she not be excited?
"It's true." Old Master Zhong nodded and said affirmatively, "Yichen has already told me that after they get engaged, he and Yaoyao will go to find the third brother. But he didn't tell me the specific location."
"That's why you agreed to Yichen and Yaoyao's engagement so early." Old Madam Zhong frowned and said with some disapproval, "How could you do this? Aren't you clearly selling Yaoyao out?"
"What are you talking about!" Old Master Zhong was a little unconvinced. "You know how much I love Yaoyao. How could I sell Yaoyao out for this?"
"The main reason I agreed to their engagement was because of their relationship. It's obvious that Yichen really likes our Yaoyao. Moreover, Yaoyao didn't resist. The two children have a good relationship. Although the engagement is early, it is also a natural thing. And also--"
Old Master Zhong looked up and sighed helplessly, "Although I don't want to admit it, our Zhong family is no match for the Lu family. In front of the Zhong family, the Lu family is a behemoth. Now that the Lu family has proposed an engagement, even if we refuse, we won't be able to refuse for many times."
After hearing what Mr. Zhong said, Mrs. Zhong couldn't help but show a trace of worry on her face, "Old man, do you think Yaoyao will be wronged at the Lu family's place?"
"I'm not worried about that." Old Master Zhong shook his head. "We all see Yichen's desire for Yaoyao. He's a capable man and won't let Yaoyao suffer any injustice. Besides, Yaoyao herself is not a vase who knows nothing. She has her own abilities. Even in front of the Lu family, she won't suffer any loss."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhong felt relieved. However, she immediately thought of something and couldn't help but sigh again, "Old man, you said that before, among the three girls in our family, the one we worried about the most was Yaoyao."
"But now look at both Mengfan and Mengxuan, they've become like this, while Yaoyao is the only one who's safe and sound. It seems like fate is truly unpredictable!"
Speaking of his other two granddaughters, Grandpa Zhong was also helpless. "Meng Fan is fine now. Although she has experienced a lot, she has at least come back to the right path. If she continues to live a peaceful life like this, she will have a stable life in the future. The only problem is Meng Xuan. This child has too big a heart, but her ability cannot keep up with her ambition. She is completely useless."
