Chapter 489 Apology
"Yaoyao didn't stay out all night. She was just delayed by something." Old Madam Zhong's sharp eyes fell on Zhong Mengxuan. "Don't think about her with your messy thoughts. Besides, Yaoyao already told us."
Hearing this, Zhong Mengxuan became even more angry. "Grandpa, Grandma, you are too indulgent to Zhong Nianyao. If you continue like this, she will become even more lawless."
She had always been resentful of Mr. and Mrs. Zhong's partiality. It seemed that no matter what time it was, no matter what Zhong Nianyao did, even when she had been chasing after Li Jingming and making the Zhong family the target of ridicule, they had never given up on her.
However, now she has just become Lu Chenran's lover, and they actually despise her for bringing shame to the Zhong family.
This is really unfair.
Faced with Zhong Mengxuan's relentless pressure, Zhong Nianyao herself was not someone to be trifled with. She turned her head and said with a smile, "Don't bother with that. Even if I'm lawless, I won't get entangled with a married man, so you don't have to worry about me. If you have time, think about your own affairs!"
She really didn't understand. Was Zhong Mengxuan asking for trouble? She herself was like a sieve, with a lot of handles on her, and yet she still had the mood to mock her here.
He really deserves to be scolded.
"You——" Zhong Mengxuan's face turned red with anger.
"Zhong Mengxuan!" Old Master Zhong's voice was filled with majesty. "If you can't speak properly, then shut up."
"Grandpa, I—"
Zhong Mengxuan had just opened her mouth when she was shocked by the majestic look of Mr. Zhong. When that sharp gaze fell on her, she couldn't help but feel a surge of fear in her heart.
"Dad, Mengxuan didn't mean it." Li Yiqiu beside her quickly explained, "She was just worried about Nianyao, so she did that. She didn't mean any harm."
"She knows whether she has bad intentions or not." Old Master Zhong naturally wouldn't easily believe such words. "We've all seen how she treats Yaoyao on a daily basis. Don't tell me about the deep sisterly love here. I'm afraid she won't believe it!"
When he said this, he looked at Li Yiqiu and said mercilessly, "And you, Second Brother's wife, we all still remember what happened last time. Second Brother didn't divorce you because you saved him this time. But if you continue to make trouble, then our Zhong family won't be able to keep you."
Li Yiqiu's face turned pale, but she didn't dare say anything. What she had done would always be a stain on her. Even if she had saved her husband once, she would still be a sinner in this family.
Zhong Mengxuan was very unconvinced and was about to say something, but Li Yiqiu tugged at her sleeve. She turned around and saw her mother shaking her head at her.
In the end, she could only grit her teeth and swallow all the grievances.
After chatting for a while, Zhong Nianyao said something to the two old people and went upstairs.
Zhong Nianyao left, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhong had no intention of staying in the living room any longer. The two old people planned to go out together to water the flowers in the garden, weed, and so on.
After Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong left, Li Yiqiu immediately pulled Zhong Mengxuan upstairs.
Zhong Mengxuan, who was being pulled by Li Yiqiu, looked reluctant. She walked slowly and said indignantly, "Mom, are we really going to go find Zhong Nianyao? She will definitely laugh at us."
"What a joke! You've become everyone's joke now." Li Yiqiu looked disappointed. "If it weren't for you, do you think I'd want to see Zhong Nianyao right now?"
Because of what happened before, although the relationship between her and Zhong Nianyao couldn't be said to be irreconcilable, it had already reached a freezing point. If possible, she didn't want to see Zhong Nianyao again. However, the only person who could help Zhong Mengxuan now was probably Zhong Nianyao.
She only has two children, and the younger one's health condition is irreversible. Now Zhong Mengxuan has made such a fuss again, although she is annoyed by what she did before.
But no matter what, Zhong Mengxuan is her daughter, a piece of flesh that fell out of her belly.
So, she could only muster up her courage and pull Zhong Mengxuan to find Zhong Nian Yao.
"Then don't go meet her!" Zhong Mengxuan's tone was still filled with reluctance, "I really don't want to see her smug face."
Li Yiqiu ignored Zhong Mengxuan's rejection and pulled Zhong Mengxuan towards Zhong Nianyao's room.
Although Zhong Mengxuan kept saying that she was unwilling, she still followed Li Yiqiu.
Inside the room——
After taking a shower, Zhong Nian Yao planned to rest for a while and then go to sleep.
However, she had just come out of the shower when she heard a knock on the door.
In order to avoid being disturbed, she locked the door after entering the room.
When she went over and opened the door, Zhong Nianyao saw Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan standing at the door.
Li Yiqiu had a smile on her face, even a hint of flattery. Zhong Mengxuan, on the other hand, had a sullen face, as if she was owed hundreds of millions.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhong Nian Yao raised her eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Having just met them downstairs, she was very curious about what these two people wanted to talk to her about. They had already had a rather unpleasant conversation downstairs. Now they were catching up again, which seemed to be upsetting.
"Nianyao, why don't we go inside first and talk!" Li Yiqiu said with a smile, "It's really not a good idea to talk standing here at the door!"
"What's wrong with that?" Zhong Nianyao remained unmoved, not even moving. "Whether it's to you or Zhong Mengxuan, I don't think there's anything to say."
"Zhong Nian Yao, you--" Zhong Mengxuan's temper flared up instantly.
She had just opened her mouth when she noticed the warning look her mother gave her. In the end, she shut her mouth and said nothing more.
Li Yiqiu's face was filled with smiles. "Nian Yao, I know that everything that happened before was my fault. I came here today because I really want to apologize to you. So, if you have anything to say, let's go inside and talk!"
