Chapter 502: Sitting on Pins and Needles
Because Mr. Lu agreed, Lu Yile breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely relaxed.
If the old man insisted, then he really had no choice but to let Meng Rou leave. After all, no matter how important Meng Rou was to him, it could not be more important than the Lu family.
Meng Rou had never thought that Zhong Nianyao would actually speak up for her. At this moment, she didn't feel the slightest bit of joy, but instead felt a chill running down her spine.
She didn't know what Zhong Nianyao was up to, but it was definitely not a good thing. Especially when she thought about the fact that Zhong Nianyao still had something on her, she felt very uncomfortable. If she had a choice, she would have left like she did just now.
Soon it was time for dinner, and Mrs. Lu also showed up. She disliked Zhong Nianyao, but she didn't dare show it because of Mr. Lu's appearance.
Similarly, she also disliked Meng Rou. Unable to vent her anger on Zhong Nianyao, she took out all her anger on Meng Rou.
At the dinner table, he frequently caused trouble for Meng Rou.
Lu Yile wanted to protect Meng Rou, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Madam Lu's warning look and didn't dare to say anything.
Meng Rou was truly miserable, but she understood her own status and knew that no one at the dinner table would defend her, not even Lu Yilei. Therefore, she could only secretly swallow all her suffering.
At the same time, she also secretly made up her mind that no matter what, she must marry Lu Yile, become a member of the Lu family openly, have a seat at the dinner table, and make everyone dare not look down on her anymore.
If she wanted to marry into the Lu family, the first thing she had to do was to get rid of the person who had the leverage over her.
Thinking of this, she raised her eyes, wanting to take a look at Zhong Nian Yao inconspicuously.
However, just as he raised his head, he ran straight into Zhong Nianyao's eyes, which were as deep as an ancient well. Although they looked calm, they were actually unfathomable and frightening.
Startled, Meng Rou dropped the chopsticks in her hand directly onto her plate, making a crisp sound.
The servants of the Lu family were all well-trained. After the incident happened, someone immediately came forward to help Meng Rou change a pair of chopsticks.
"You're truly unpresentable," Madam Lu said coldly. "You don't even know basic table manners. You're truly too vulgar."
Then, she looked at Lu Yilei again and said with some displeasure, "Don't bring anyone home in the future. You'll just make people laugh at you for no reason."
"Mom!" Lu Yilei couldn't help but frown. "Why do you have to say that? Rou'er is pregnant now, so she's a little uncomfortable. She didn't do it on purpose. Why do you have to hold on to her?"
Old Madam Lu snorted coldly, but before she could say anything, Zhong Nian Yao on the other side spoke.
"Oh, right. I almost forgot that Miss Meng is pregnant." Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "I do know some medical skills. Do you want me to take your pulse?"
When she said the last sentence, her eyes fell on Meng Rou. Obviously, this last question was directed at Meng Rou.
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's appearance, Meng Rou's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, then she smiled and said, "Don't bother. We've already gone to the hospital for a prenatal checkup."
"yes!"
Speaking of this, Lu Yilei became visibly excited. He looked at Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu, and said, "Dad, Mom, we checked, and the baby in Rouer's belly is a boy!"
After these words were spoken, Mr. Lu's expression did not change much. He did not even raise his eyes. It was impossible to tell what his mood was at the moment.
On the other hand, Mrs. Lu's stern expression relaxed a little after hearing what Lu Yilei said. "Are you telling the truth?"
Feeling Madam Lu soften her tone, Lu Yilei knew there was hope and immediately continued, "Yes! I've tested the blood test, and it's a boy."
Madam Lu looked at Meng Rou deeply and said nothing more. However, she did not continue to embarrass Meng Rou in the following time.
Meng Rou was very happy about this.
However, even so, she still ate with trepidation, unable to savor the meal. This was because she could feel Zhong Nianyao's probing gaze on her all the time. She didn't know if Zhong Nianyao had noticed anything, but she really didn't dare to let her guard down, fearing that she would fall into Zhong Nianyao's trap if she wasn't careful.
At the same time, she was also afraid that Zhong Nian Yao would tell her stories at any time, putting her in an irretrievable situation.
After the meal, Meng Rou didn't know what she had eaten, let alone whether she was full. She just felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
In the evening, Lu Yichen sent Zhong Nianyao home.
In the car——
"You did it on purpose tonight!" Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'm talking about how you treated Meng Rou during dinner—"
Zhong Nianyao understood, then smiled and said, "Yeah! I just thought it was quite amusing. Didn't you see? Meng Rou must have had a stomachache from eating so much after this meal!"
Lu Yichen nodded, "Only those with something to hide would be afraid of a knock on the door in the middle of the night."
Zhong Nianyao agreed, "But I'm curious about what's in her stomach."
"I can be sure that she absolutely cannot get pregnant again. However, judging by Lu Yilei's expression, Meng Rou seems to have gone for a prenatal checkup, and the test results showed that it was a boy."
"Did I really make a wrong diagnosis?"
"Don't doubt yourself." Lu Yichen reached out and held Zhong Nianyao's hand, smiling and saying, "You'll know sooner or later."
Zhong Nianyao nodded, and then told the entire conversation between her and Long Jiarui today.
Finally, she looked at Lu Yichen and asked doubtfully, "Yichen, do you know what happened in the Long family?"
"Something seems to have happened to the second young master of the Long family, Long Jiarui's second brother, recently." Lu Yichen thought for a moment and said, "We've already contacted the special department before. However, this matter seems a bit strange, and the special department can't solve it."
Afterwards, he told the details of the Long family.
After listening to Lu Yichen's words, Zhong Nianyao blinked her eyes, with an interested look on her face, "That sounds quite interesting! Then I really have to go and take a closer look."
