Chapter 497 Busy
After all, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong were old, and they were very tired after a night of work. After they managed to deal with Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan, they returned to their room to rest.
After watching such a good show, Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling returned to their rooms.
Soon, only Zhong Mengxuan's family of three and Zhong Nianyao were left in the living room.
Zhong Mingyu sat on the sofa with a dejected look on his face.
He had never imagined that his wife and daughter would do such a thing without telling him. Now both of them were kicked out, and he could do nothing.
Li Yiqiu's face was filled with dejection. She hadn't expected the situation to end up like this. Not only did she have to move out of the house, but her daughter was also forbidden from returning. For a moment, she didn't know if her idea was right or wrong.
Zhong Nian Yao didn't have the heart to continue watching the family of three standing there in a daze, so she stood up and prepared to go back to her room.
However, she was stopped just as she stood up.
"Nian Yao!"
Following the sound, Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Yiqiu and before the other party could continue, she spoke first, "No, impossible, I don't agree."
After three consecutive "nos," Li Yiqiu's expression turned gloomy. "You don't even know what I'm going to say, why are you so eager to deny it?"
"Because I know your shameless nature very well!" Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said lightly, "This kind of thing has happened too many times. You are doing this now, just wanting me to help you plead with grandpa and grandma so that you don't have to move out and Zhong Mengxuan can continue to return to the Zhong family."
"Then I'll tell you honestly, I absolutely cannot agree to such a request."
Before she could even open her mouth, her hope was strangled in the cradle. Li Yiqiu's face turned pale. "Nian Yao, why do you have to kill me like this?"
"Don't put that kind of hat on me." Zhong Nianyao shook her head and sneered, "You all deserve what you've done. I feel like I'm being pretty generous now."
"Last time, when you tried to take my blood, and this time when you caused trouble at the wedding ceremony between Lu Yichen and me, you should have thought about what the consequences would be. Now all this is your own fault, you can't blame anyone else."
Li Yiqiu had a look of despair on her face and didn't say anything else.
Zhong Mengxuan, who was standing by, had also come to her senses and was about to speak. However, Zhong Nianyao's words immediately caused endless fear to rise in her heart.
"Zhong Mengxuan, you've certainly been quite clever today. You even came uninvited, convinced that we wouldn't do anything to you because it was such a good day. Then you could use my influence to consolidate your position in front of Lu Chenran, right?"
Zhong Nianyao's eyes fell on Zhong Mengxuan. "It's a pity that although you are smart, others are not fools. My influence is not so easy to borrow."
"I'll have Lu Yichen find time to tell Lu Chenran that the relationship between you and me isn't very good, so I will definitely not get involved in your relationship. I'll tell him that he doesn't have to treat you well for my sake."
"Zhong Nianyao, you dare!" Zhong Mengxuan's voice rose several degrees, and her tone was full of fear.
Although his facial expression looked somewhat arrogant, the panic deep in his eyes was also evident.
Tonight, she had finally managed to gain a firm foothold in front of Lu Chenran by borrowing Zhong Nianyao's influence. If Zhong Nianyao went to find Lu Chenran now, all her efforts would be in vain.
She had already paid such a huge price for what happened today. However, now she was told that what she had done today was of no benefit at all.
How could she possibly accept that?
"Let me see if I dare." Zhong Nianyao looked straight at Zhong Mengxuan, with a sneer on her lips, "You want to borrow my power, but it depends on whether I agree."
"Zhong Nianyao, you're really too cruel." Zhong Mengxuan gnashed her teeth in hatred. "You've been sitting here for so long just to get revenge on me, right? You're trying to force me to death, aren't you?"
"If you really can't let it go, that's your own business. It has nothing to do with me." Zhong Nianyao said indifferently, "Your own psychological endurance is too low. What does it have to do with me?"
For a moment, Zhong Mengxuan was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Zhong Nianyao ignored the family of three, got up and went back to her room to rest.
As for what would happen to the family of three left behind, that was completely out of her consideration.
Zhong Nianyao had no idea what was happening to Zhong Mingyu's family of three. However, when she woke up the next day, Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan were no longer there.
Zhong Mingyu, on the other hand, always looked hesitant every time he saw her, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
In response, Zhong Nianyao pretended not to see anything.
Although she didn't know what Zhong Mingyu was going to say, she always felt that it was closely related to Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan.
She didn't want to get into such trouble at all.
There is still half a month left until the engagement party, so time is very tight.
On the second day after the meeting gift was completed, the Zhong family began to prepare for Zhong Nianyao's engagement.
Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong immediately started to get busy, and Zheng Siling was not idle either. She got up early every morning and started to get busy with the old lady.
Booking a hotel, ordering jewelry, choosing a time to order a dress, and so on, a lot of things were all put together, making Mrs. Zhong and Zheng Siling busy almost every day, almost without touching the ground.
However, even with such a busy schedule, the two were still very happy. Not to mention Madam Zhong, even Zheng Siling was very happy. After all, the engagement between Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen was definitely a great joyous event for the Zhong family. From now on, the Zhong and Lu families would be connected, which would definitely bring them huge benefits.
On the other hand, Zhong Nianyao, the person involved, looked very relaxed.
After all, she had never experienced something like engagement before, so she had no experience. Therefore, it was better to leave such professional matters to professionals! Even if she was the person involved, it would be better for her not to get involved too much.
