Chapter 540: Big Changes
When faced with such a situation, other people couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
However, this is the young couple's business, and it is better for outsiders like them not to get involved.
Because of Yu Manyun's return, the originally good atmosphere became weird, and naturally, it was impossible to continue discussing other things.
The people from the Lian family naturally felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so after agreeing on the time for the next meeting, they got up and said goodbye.
As for Long Jiarui, she naturally got up and went back. Now that she was the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, it was natural for her to go back. Moreover, she had to send Zhong Nianyao back first!
Time passed quickly, and the date of Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao's engagement was getting closer.
The entire Zhong family was filled with a tense atmosphere, yet it was also filled with joy. Even the servants seemed to be walking with the wind.
On the other hand, Zhong Nianyao, the person involved, seemed to be doing nothing every day, and there was no sign of tension on her face. If someone didn't know her, they would think she was just an outsider, not someone who was about to get engaged.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong naturally attached great importance to this engagement party, but their age made it difficult for them to keep up with the pace. Therefore, they left most of the things to Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling to help with the arrangements.
Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling were naturally very happy.
This time, the marriage between the Zhong family and the Lu family was a very important matter for the Zhong family. Although it was called a marriage, they all knew in their hearts that the Zhong family was definitely marrying above their station in the Lu family.
The purpose of organizing this engagement banquet was to connect with the Lu family. This way, they could use this opportunity to expand their network of contacts. This was definitely a win-win situation for them.
Moreover, they even felt that this was a sign that the old man was going to hand over the burden of the Zhong family to their eldest wife, which made them work harder.
As Zhong Mengfan's daughter, she was naturally dragged along to help. Although she had already started working at Zhong's company, she only did some trivial tasks, so even if she took a leave of absence, it would not have any impact.
"Nian Yao, this is the booklet sent by the Lu family."
Zhong Mengfan walked into the garden with a picture album in his hand. He smiled and said to Zhong Nianyao who was reading in the corridor, "Pick out some that you like so that we can reply to the Lu family."
As she spoke, she leisurely sat down opposite Zhong Nian Yao and handed her the album in her hand.
Zhong Nianyao took the album, but didn't open it to look at it right away. Instead, she looked at Zhong Mengfan with a smile and said, "Cousin Mengfan, why do I feel that you have really changed a lot now?"
As she spoke, she looked at Zhong Mengfan with a meaningful expression in her eyes. "I always feel that you seem to be completely different from before."
"Really?" Zhong Mengfan's expression did not change, he was still smiling, even his eyes were full of smiles, without a trace of hypocrisy.
"People change naturally as they experience more. You know, if I hadn't changed after encountering something like that, wouldn't that have been quite ungrateful?"
"Oh, that seems to be a good thing!" Zhong Nianyao nodded and said with a smile, "However, if the change is too much, sometimes people will doubt whether it is malicious, or -"
“People are no longer the same people.”
Her sharp eyes fell on Zhong Mengfan, and her golden eyes flashed with sharp light, as if she could see through Zhong Mengfan's skin and see her soul hidden inside.
Facing Zhong Nianyao's gaze, Zhong Mengfan appeared very frank, but at the same time, there was a hint of doubt on his face, "Nianyao, what do you mean by this? You are doubting that I am not myself, right?"
When she said this, she couldn't help but frown, "I know that I had a lot of conflicts with you in the past. But in the end, it was just a small quarrel between sisters."
"After going through so much, we've all grown up. I've also come to see clearly that there's nothing wrong between sisters. That's why you've grown so big this time. I didn't expect that you'd have so many weird ideas."
"Haha, there's no need to be so anxious, cousin Meng Fan." Zhong Nianyao retracted her thoughts, then smiled and shook her head, and continued, "Besides, I never said I doubted you were you. I just said it casually."
Zhong Mengfan couldn't help but frown. "Nian Yao, I know we did have a lot of unpleasantness in the past, but it's all in the past. If you're still upset about it, I can apologize to you."
"However, I still hope that we can coexist peacefully in the future. I think this is what my grandparents would want to see as well."
"Of course." Zhong Nianyao nodded.
"Then you take a look first!"
Zhong Mengfan stood up, his demeanor returning to normal. "I still have to help my mother arrange some things! When you've made your selection, just tick it out, and I'll connect with the Lu family."
"good."
After getting Zhong Nian Yao's answer, Zhong Mengfan turned around and went into the house.
Looking at Zhong Mengfan's leaving back, Zhong Nian Yao narrowed her eyes, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and there was a hint of unfathomable meaning in her expression.
Although it was the eve of their engagement, Lu Yichen didn't care and he still went on dates with Zhong Nian Yao frequently.
Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong were not too unhappy about this, but were happy to see it happen.
In their view, this is a good thing for the couple to cultivate their relationship.
So, on Saturday, Lu Yichen came to the Zhong family again and took Zhong Nian Yao away.
In the car——
Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nianyao who was sitting next to him and asked with a smile, "Where are you planning to go? Or, do you want to go to Tongtian Bridge?"
Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "No, I'm in a good mood today. Let's go on a date!"
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's answer, Lu Yichen naturally agreed.
The two were talking in the car as it drove towards the cinema.
As they were talking, Zhong Nianyao suddenly mentioned Zhong Mengfan and said, "Yichen, can you help me check out Zhong Mengfan's life abroad? The more detailed the better. I always feel that Zhong Mengfan has changed too much. Such a change, no matter how you look at it, doesn't seem to be in line with common sense. Anyway, I can't put my finger on it, I just feel that there is something strange about Zhong Mengfan."
