Chapter 567: Reform
Early the next morning, Zhong Nianyao was surprised to find that Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong seemed to have calmed down.
Seeing this situation, she relaxed a lot.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the day of departure.
In the evening, Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong specially gathered the whole family for dinner to celebrate Zhong Nian Yao's birthday.
The Zhong family was very puzzled by this. Aren't Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen just going on a honeymoon? Why did they act like they were going to some dangerous place?
Although they felt strange, everyone still followed Mr. Zhong's instructions and went home to have dinner together.
After dinner, Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong kept reminding Zhong Nianyao to be careful. This made the others even more confused, but they didn't ask any questions.
After dinner, Zhong Nianyao chatted with Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong for a while, and did not return to her room immediately. Instead, she knocked on Zhong Mengfan's door.
Zhong Mengfan opened the door and saw Zhong Nianyao standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment, then a smile immediately appeared on his face. He said gently, "Nianyao, it's you! What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
"Indeed, there is something." Zhong Nianyao nodded, "However, what I want to say is a bit complicated, so I think we need to sit down and have a good chat. So, why don't you invite me in?"
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, Zhong Mengfan did not move aside, but smiled and said, "It's getting late now. You have to catch a plane tomorrow, so you should go to bed early!"
"I am indeed leaving tomorrow."
Zhong Nianyao nodded, but she had no intention of leaving. "It's really because I'm about to leave, so there are some things I should take care of."
Zhong Mengfan's expression remained unchanged. "So, Nian Yao, what you're saying is that the matter you want to deal with is related to me?"
"Yes!" Zhong Nianyao nodded generously, "This matter really has something to do with you! So, do you want us to go in and talk about it, or should we gather everyone in the family and have a good chat?"
"Nian Yao, although you are now engaged to Mr. Lu, you haven't gotten married yet!" Zhong Mengfan frowned and said with some displeasure, "Besides, this is the Zhong family, not the Lu family. Even if you really want to show off, please know where you are, okay?"
"I was originally planning to resolve this privately." Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said helplessly, "It's a pity that you refused to do so. In that case, let's resolve this in front of everyone! This way, I won't have to make any excuses later."
Before Zhong Mengfan could figure out what was going on, Zhong Nian Yao made a phone call.
Ten minutes later, in the living room——
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong, Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling, and of course Zhong Jinghao, plus Zhong Nianyao and Zhong Mengxuan, all appeared here.
However, Zhong Mingyu took his son to Li Yiqiu's place today, so he did not show up.
Everyone had a puzzled look on their faces. Obviously, they didn't know why Zhong Nian Yao had called everyone together.
Just now, everyone was gathered together. Why didn't they explain clearly what they wanted to say? Why did they call people back after everyone had rested?
"Yaoyao, what's going on?" Old Master Zhong spoke first, "Did something happen?"
He was still a little nervous when he spoke.
Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen were leaving tomorrow. Others might not know, but they knew full well that they were leaving to find Zhong Mingxin. If all went well, they might see their youngest son again soon.
Now that Zhong Nian Yao suddenly called everyone over, what he was most worried about was whether something had gone wrong with this trip.
However, despite being nervous, he tried his best to control his emotions and not let Zhong Nian Yao notice anything.
He didn't want his granddaughter to feel any burden on this trip.
My youngest son has been missing for so many years. Even though I still have hope in my heart, I am mentally prepared.
But when they knew their youngest son was still alive, they were very happy. Some time ago, when he knew his granddaughter was going to look for his youngest son, he was even happier.
However, he was afraid that his expectations were too high and would cause some psychological pressure on his granddaughter. If the results were not good, his granddaughter would blame herself.
As if she could see what Mr. Zhong was feeling, Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "There's nothing wrong with tomorrow's itinerary. However, there are some things I'd like to take care of before we leave. Otherwise, I'm afraid there might be some hidden dangers, and then it would be really troublesome."
Zhong Nianyao's words made the people in the living room even more confused.
Unnoticed by anyone, Zhong Mengfan's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness. However, her expression remained unchanged.
It was Zhong Jinghao, however. His gaze first fell on Zhong Nian Yao, and then he looked at Zhong Mengfan. A trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes, as if he was guessing something.
Mr. Zhong nodded and looked at Zhong Nianyao, "Then if you have anything to say, just say it!"
After Zhong Nianyao looked around, her eyes fell on Zhong Mengfan. "To be honest, today's incident is still related to Zhong Mengfan!"
"Nian Yao, what do you mean?"
Before Zhong Mengfan could even open her mouth to say anything, Zheng Siling couldn't hold back any longer. "I know you and Mengfan had a lot of trouble in the past. But you can't just slander her because of that!"
"What happened in the past is long gone, and Meng Fan has now turned over a new leaf."
"Whether he has reformed or not, I don't know." Zhong Nianyao shook her head, her eyes falling on Zhong Mengfan's back. "However, Zhong Mengfan's changes are indeed huge, even earth-shaking."
"However, I am very curious about what kind of thing could cause such a big change in a person, even--"
As she spoke, Zhong Nianyao's gaze once again shifted between Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling. "As parents, don't you think this change is truly bizarre? Don't you doubt whether this is your daughter?"
