Chapter 491: No Agree
"Zhong Nianyao, do you really have no regard for sisterhood?" Zhong Mengxuan stood up and raised her voice. "It's just a small favor, and you're not willing to help? Do you still have a conscience?"
"Mengxuan, sit down." Li Yiqiu directly pulled Zhong Mengxuan down and scolded in a low voice, "How can you talk like that? Nianyao is your sister. You are really hurting the sisterhood by talking like that."
"I'm just telling the truth, what's wrong with that?"
Although Zhong Mengxuan was pulled to sit down, her tone was still full of resentment. "What's this about sisterhood? If there really was sisterhood, how could she not even help with such a small favor?"
Zhong Nianyao still looked calm and composed, letting Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan play the good cop and the bad cop respectively, without any expression, looking like she was just watching a show.
Because of Zhong Nian Yao's calmness, Li Yi Qiu and Zhong Meng Xuan couldn't continue acting for a while.
Turning to look at Zhong Nianyao again, Li Yiqiu looked apologetic, "Nianyao, Mengxuan speaks without thinking, don't bother with her. She's actually just anxious, that's why she's like that. You don't know, Lu Chenran has been a little bit neglectful of Mengxuan recently, and she's feeling very uneasy, she—"
"I know."
Before she could finish her words, Zhong Nianyao interrupted Li Yiqiu and said, "Lu Chenran has a new love now, so naturally he will ignore her. But, what does all this have to do with me?"
Just two or three simple sentences made Li Yiqiu almost unable to speak.
After a moment's silence, Li Yiqiu spoke again, "Nianyao, can't you just think of it as helping Mengxuan? Besides, what I'm asking you to do isn't a bad thing. It's just taking her to this dinner party. It's a piece of cake for you. But for Mengxuan, this is her best chance."
Zhong Nianyao raised her head, looked at Li Yiqiu with a half-smile, and said sarcastically, "Li Yiqiu, face is a good thing. Even though it's been lost, you can still use it if you pick it up."
"Zhong Nianyao, what do you mean by that?" Zhong Mengxuan tried hard to suppress her inner anger, but her tone was still harsh. "If you don't want to help me, then forget it. But why are you humiliating my mother now?"
"Why? Don't you know?" Zhong Nianyao sneered, "And you, Zhong Mengxuan, how dare you come here and say these things?"
"Let's not talk about what our relationship is like. Don't you have any idea what you've done during this period of time?"
When she said this, she turned her head and looked at Li Yiqiu, "And you, have you forgotten what happened at Grandpa's birthday party? The scar on Lu Yichen's hand hasn't disappeared. I really don't know where you got the nerve to make such a request."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Li Yiqiu's face, but she had no way to refute Zhong Nianyao's words.
She gritted her teeth, a resolute look flashing in her eyes. She then stood up and walked straight to Zhong Nianyao. Then, she knelt down with a plop. "Nianyao, I know I was wrong, but this has nothing to do with Mengxuan. She really likes Lu Chenran and doesn't want to lose him. We have no other requests, we just want Mengxuan to appear in front of the Lu family with you. I promise, this is definitely the last time. From now on, no matter what happens, we will never bother you again."
Faced with Li Yiqiu's sudden kneeling, Zhong Nianyao's expression did not change, and she did not even move.
Her face was cold, "Impossible. You just want to use my influence to make Zhong Mengxuan's position more important to Lu Chenran. But why should I help you?"
"If it's true that family members need to help each other, then I want to ask you. What have you done for me over the years? Even if you can tell me one thing, I might consider it."
Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan tried desperately to recall the past, their faces becoming increasingly pale, because they truly could not recall a single thing.
In the past, they always felt that Zhong Mengxuan was a disgrace to the Zhong family. She had been chasing after an illegitimate child, bringing disgrace to the Zhong family. Even in front of outsiders, they never said a word in defense of Zhong Nianyao.
"Well, can't you remember?" Zhong Nianyao's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm. "That's because you've never done anything like this. Your so-called family is just an excuse to get benefits from me."
"Li Yiqiu, Zhong Mengxuan, none of you are fools. Before you ask for something, you'd better think about what you have done to help them and whether you have the confidence to ask for it."
Li Yiqiu was kneeling there and Zhong Mengxuan was sitting there. Both of them looked unhappy. They opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something, but after seeing the ambiguous sarcastic arc at the corner of Zhong Nianyao's mouth, they couldn't say anything.
"I need to rest."
Zhong Nianyao said lightly and ordered them to leave.
Zhong Mengxuan was furious and pulled up Li Yiqiu, who was still kneeling there, and said bitterly, "If you don't want to help, then don't help. Zhong Nianyao, I will never forget the humiliation you inflicted on me today. One day, I will pay you back for everything."
"I'll wait."
Zhong Nianyao rolled her eyes and smiled coldly, "However, Zhong Mengxuan, I still advise you to figure out who your current enemy is and whether you can defeat him. After all, the woman next to Lu Chenran now was arranged by her."
"It's none of your business." Zhong Mengxuan replied through gritted teeth.
On the other hand, Li Yiqiu, after hearing these words, immediately grabbed Zhong Mengxuan's hand and asked, "What does this mean?"
"I'll explain it to you later."
After saying that, Zhong Mengxuan pulled Li Yiqiu out of the room.
Before leaving, she did not forget to slam the door shut to express her anger at the moment.
Looking at Zhong Mengxuan's petty behavior, Zhong Nianyao sneered twice, then walked forward to lock the door, intending to have a good rest first.
As for Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan, she didn't care about them at all.
Elsewhere, after leaving Zhong Mengxuan's room, Li Yiqiu also pulled Zhong Mengxuan back to her room. However, she didn't go back to her room, but to Zhong Mengxuan's room. Because she still had a lot to ask Zhong Mengxuan, such as what exactly did she and Zhong Nianyao mean just now.
