Chapter 550: Appearing Blatantly
Mrs. Lu didn't know whether this occasion was arranged by Mr. Lu or for Lu Yichen's sake. But seeing such a grand scene, she felt uncomfortable.
From the very beginning, she was unhappy, but she had to pretend to be happy, which made her feel extremely depressed.
So, after seeing Lu Yichen's performance, she couldn't help but start to mock him, which ended up causing Mr. Lu's anger.
After making sure that Mrs. Lu was awake, Mr. Lu took her hand again and began to greet those who came up to him.
Without anyone noticing, Zhong Mengxuan swaggered into the banquet hall.
At this moment, she was completely different from when she was in the lounge just now. With exquisite makeup, expensive jewelry, and a well-fitting dress, she looked no different from the other people attending the engagement party.
I don’t know if the security guard at the door didn’t notice or for some other reason, but he didn’t even come forward to check or ask a few questions.
In this way, Zhong Mengxuan entered the banquet hall without attracting anyone's attention.
She smiled and talked in front of Lu Chenran for a while, but did not go forward to say hello.
It’s not because she is sensible, nor because of other people’s opinions, but simply because she doesn’t want to disgust Lu Chenran.
For an occasion like today, Lu Chenran must have brought Long Jiarui with him. If she went up at this time, it would only make Lu Chenran think that she was ignorant and make him lose face.
She just needed to appear in front of Lu Chenran and let Lu Chenran know that she would attend today's engagement party.
This was to let Lu Chenran and everyone in the Lu family's main house know that no matter what, she was still Zhong Nianyao's cousin. No matter how big the conflict was, they were still family members connected by blood.
This also helps to stabilize her position in front of Lu Chenran.
After wandering around for a bit, Zhong Mengxuan tactfully went somewhere else. However, before she had taken a few steps, she was stopped by someone.
When she turned around, she saw that the person holding her was none other than her mother, Li Yiqiu.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Zhong Mengxuan asked in surprise. "You suddenly pulled me like this and really scared me. If I wasn't so brave, I would have screamed out loud. Then I would have been so embarrassed."
Ignoring Zhong Mengxuan's reproach, Li Yiqiu asked directly, "Let's not talk about this for now. Tell me first, why are you here?"
This morning, she had tentatively asked Zhong Nianyao about it. At that time, Zhong Nianyao still refused to budge and had no intention of letting Zhong Mengxuan attend. But now Zhong Mengxuan appeared here. Wasn't it obvious that she had sneaked in?
"Why can't I be here?" Zhong Mengxuan said as if it was a matter of course. "As a member of the Zhong family, it would be unreasonable for me not to attend such an important occasion today!"
"You know very well—" Li Yiqiu couldn't help but frown, and finally said helplessly, "You'd better leave quickly! The engagement party is about to start. If Nian Yao sees you, she will definitely send someone to kick you out. Then, no one will look good."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and was about to pull Zhong Mengxuan away.
"I'm not leaving." Zhong Mengxuan immediately shook off Li Yiqiu's hand and said, "Stop tugging and pulling here. It's so ugly."
Since she was here today, she was naturally not afraid of Zhong Nianyao. Because at this moment, she knew in her heart that Zhong Nianyao would probably not attend the engagement banquet today.
Although she didn't know what was on the blade, the man said that as long as that thing cut Zhong Nian Yao, even if it was just a little bit of skin, Zhong Nian Yao would not be able to escape easily.
Just now in the lounge, when leaving, Zhong Nian Yao didn't even have the strength to catch up with her, and it would be impossible for her to attend the engagement party later.
That's why she dared to appear here so blatantly, not afraid of being discovered by Zhong Nian Yao.
Anyway, she showed up here today just to let Lu Chenran and his mother know that she was also present.
As for whether Zhong Nian Yao can attend on time, or even whether she attends at all, that has nothing to do with her.
Listening to Zhong Mengxuan's complaints, Li Yiqiu was really furious. "You kid, why don't you know the situation? You know very well that neither the old man nor Zhong Nianyao agreed to let you come here today. If your behavior of acting first and asking for permission later is exposed, you will be the one who will be embarrassed."
"It'll be fine." Zhong Mengxuan had a confident look on her face, "Zhong Nianyao won't chase me away today."
To be precise, it was impossible to drive her away.
Seeing Zhong Mengxuan looking calm and composed, with no intention of leaving at all, Li Yiqiu was so angry that she could hardly speak.
Li Yiqiu really wanted Zhong Mengxuan to leave quickly, otherwise she would have a conflict with Zhong Nianyao in public when she came out, which would be bad.
As if she didn't notice Li Yiqiu's worries at all, Zhong Mengxuan was like a butterfly, flitting around the banquet, looking comfortable and enjoying herself.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was time for the banquet to officially begin, but Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao, the parties involved, had not shown up yet.
Everyone is waiting for the protagonist to arrive.
For a moment, some discussions slowly began in the banquet hall. Everyone was discussing why the protagonist of this engagement party had not shown up and whether something had happened.
After all, Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhong were old and knowledgeable. After looking at each other, they made a decision immediately.
Mr. Lu stayed where he was to comfort the guests, while Mr. Zhong led his men towards the lounge.
At this time, Zhong Mengxuan, who was hiding among the guests, had a proud and relaxed smile on her face.
However, the smile on her face quickly disappeared because she saw Mr. Zhong walking in from outside.
Behind Mr. Zhong were today's protagonists—Lu Yichen and Zhong Nian Yao.
Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao were dressed in their best, arm in arm, with smiles on their faces, walking in from outside, attracting everyone's attention.
Such a dazzling pair of people are like God's favorites. Even if they just stand there, they are enough to grab everyone's attention and make people immersed in their charm.
