Chapter 472: Blocking the Road
"Speaking of which, the relationship between Mengxuan and Yaoyao is really messy right now!" Old Madam Zhong couldn't help but feel a little worried. "I wonder if the Lu family will have any opinions about Yaoyao because of Mengxuan's situation?"
It was already common knowledge that Zhong Mengxuan was Lu Chenran's lover. However, now Zhong Nianyao was going to marry Lu Yichen. If word of this relationship got out, it would surely spark a lot of gossip.
However, the most important thing is the attitude of the Lu family.
"You don't have to worry about that." Mr. Zhong smiled and said soothingly, "If they really had an opinion, they wouldn't have brought up the engagement in the first place."
"Don't think too much. Think carefully about it. Yaoyao is getting engaged soon. How should we prepare for it? Engagement is a very important event in Yaoyao's life. Now that her parents are not around, we, as her grandparents, must make good arrangements and never let her be looked down upon."
Soon, Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong put aside other things and began to discuss happily how to organize Zhong Nianyao's engagement party.
Although the engagement was a done deal, the two families hadn't met yet. Therefore, Mr. Zhong had already ordered everyone in the family not to talk nonsense outside.
However, such things did not have any impact on Zhong Nianyao. She still lived her life in an ordinary way.
Zhong Nianyao went to school as usual, but unexpectedly, after class, she was stopped by Li Jingming.
Looking at Li Jingming in front of her, Zhong Nianyao felt a little surprised.
Although Li Jingming used to be hypocritical, he always maintained the appearance of a modest gentleman in front of others. In addition, he was indeed good-looking, otherwise he would not have attracted the original owner's pursuit for so many years.
But the Li Jingming before him was completely different. His clothes were wrinkled, probably because they hadn't been ironed. His hair, which he had always carefully combed, now looked like it had been casually combed. The dark circles under his eyes were deep, and his face looked particularly haggard, making him look several years older.
Now when Li Jingming appears on campus, he doesn't look like a student at all, but more like a substitute teacher.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhong Nianyao glanced at Li Jingming, then continued to speak with a smile, "Why are you alone today? Are Shen Yixue and you always inseparable? Why is she nowhere to be seen at this time? Are you afraid of being implicated by you?"
She could probably guess why Li Jingming was in such a mess. It seemed that Madam Li was quite efficient! In just a day or two, she had resolved everything.
When Madam Li was young, she was indeed a powerful woman in the business world! She was really decisive in her work!
"You really do know." When Li Jingming looked at Zhong Nianyao, his eyes were like poison. "Zhong Nianyao, was it you who asked my grandmother to kick me out of the house, wasn't it?"
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" Zhong Nianyao smiled faintly, then said, "Don't forget, the final decision is made by the old man and old lady of the Li family. In fact, you should also think carefully about why you were kicked out of the family so easily?"
If Li Jingming was powerful enough and had a place in the Li family, then Mr. and Mrs. Li would not have been so hasty to drive him out, as if sending away the plague god.
"You—" Li Jingming was furious. "Zhong Nianyao, why do you treat me like this? Is it just because I rejected you before?"
After hearing Li Jingming's self-righteous words, Zhong Nianyao felt as sick as if she had swallowed a fly. "Li Jingming, don't think too highly of yourself. You should know what kind of person you are! For someone like you, having ever liked you is definitely the greatest shame of my life."
Li Jingming's face turned pale and blue, he stammered and could hardly speak, "But you can't slander me like this! Zhong Nianyao, just because of a few words from you, I have now been completely kicked out of the Li family. Are you satisfied?"
"Not satisfied." Zhong Nianyao shook her head, a sneer on her lips. "Aren't you still alive and well now? You've already hired someone to kill me twice. This little punishment is just an appetizer. How can I be satisfied?"
"You..." Li Jingming tried hard to suppress his inner panic and pretended to be confused. "What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. What about hiring a killer? I have never done such a thing and I will never do such a thing. Zhong Nianyao, you can't speak nonsense and slander me!"
At the end of his speech, he seemed to become a little agitated, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.
In stark contrast to Li Jingming's excitement, Zhong Nianyao seemed completely indifferent, even a little cold. She simply replied, "Oh, I see."
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's indifferent reaction, Li Jingming couldn't guess what the other party meant.
However, he continued, "Since you already know everything, then you should go to the Li family and explain it clearly!"
He was kicked out of the Li family because of Zhong Nianyao. Now, as long as Zhong Nianyao can come and explain that everything that happened before was just a misunderstanding, then his grandparents will probably forgive him. Then, he can return to the Li family again.
It had only been a few days since he was kicked out of the Li family, but he felt like every day had been a year. He had never imagined that after leaving his position as the eldest son of the Li family, he would live in such a miserable state.
Those people he once looked down upon could now mock him at will. Not only that, the Li family had cut off all his financial resources and reclaimed most of his assets.
Now, the only thing under his name is the apartment that Chen Sisi had moved into before.
The Li family also made it clear that they would not pay his tuition for the next semester, and would not provide him with any financial support in the future.
He couldn't afford the tuition for Tenglong College on his own. As for Chen Sisi, that was even more of an issue. She'd spent money like water over the years and had no savings at all.
If he continues like this, it remains unknown whether he can graduate successfully.
