Chapter 701 Jealousy
The atmosphere in the living room soon became lively again, and everyone tacitly ignored Zhong Mengfan so as not to affect his good mood.
As for Zhong Mengfan, it was unclear whether she truly realized her mistake or had recognized her current position. Therefore, she sat there quietly without saying a word.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong asked Baili Leyao a lot of questions, mainly about her family. However, they also decided that no matter what kind of family Baili Leyao came from, they would not object to this marriage.
The youngest son had been away for so many years, and now he was finally back. Moreover, he brought back a daughter-in-law with him. How could they object?
Besides, Baili Leyao is Yaoyao's biological mother. Even for Yaoyao's sake, they would not object.
Therefore, Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong have always been very gentle and kind to Baili Leyao.
After learning about Baili Leyao's basic information, Mrs. Zhong directly put all the arrangements for the wedding on the table.
Mrs. Zhong brought up the topic of marriage, and everyone joined in and started chatting enthusiastically.
Zhong Nianyao, on the other hand, remained seated, not participating in the discussion. She and Lu Yichen sat there, whispering to each other.
Zhong Nianyao looked at Lu Yichen beside her, smiled at him, and raised her eyebrows. "You've been back for a long time. Don't you need to go back to the Lu family to take a look? Aren't you afraid that the people in the Lu family will say something about you?"
"Just say it if you want to!" Lu Yichen said nonchalantly, "It's time to put an end to the matter between me and the Lu family."
After hearing what Lu Yichen said, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but be surprised for a moment, but then she understood, "It seems that the Lu family really did something very unethical back then!"
"It's not the Lu family, it's Mr. Lu." Lu Yichen said calmly, "To put it bluntly, my previous frailty and illness were all related to him. However, I think he probably thought that I would never know this in my lifetime!"
"What?"
Zhong Nianyao was really shocked this time, "You are talking about Mr. Lu, not Madam Lu. Are you telling the truth? Or are you wrong?"
Mr. Lu had always been very kind to her. She could tell that Mr. Lu loved her and loved her too, and that the person he cared about most was Lu Yichen.
Her perception was still very sharp, so she could see that all of Mr. Lu's actions were sincere, without any hypocrisy or exploitation. However, now Lu Yichen said that everything Mr. Lu had done was hypocritical. For a moment, she was still a little unable to accept it.
"Are you surprised?" Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nianyao with a calm expression, "Do you think he is a good person?"
"I don't know." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "I can't make any judgment about him. However, I can see that he is still very sincere, whether to me or you."
"He is indeed sincere." Lu Yichen sneered, "However, his sincerity is too cheap. It is precisely because of his sincerity that he seems even more disgusting."
"Oh, it seems there are really many things here that I don't know!" Zhong Nianyao said with interest, "I originally thought that the Zhong family's mess was already a lot. I didn't expect it to be so complicated! However, I am still somewhat interested in what happened."
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Lu Yichen felt a little funny. He reached out and touched Zhong Nianyao's hair, then said with a smile, "This matter is not complicated when you say it, but it is not simple when you say it."
"I'm all ears." Zhong Nianyao blinked and said with a smile, "Just tell me what you want to say. I have plenty of time to listen."
"Are you sure today's a good day?" Lu Yichen glanced at everyone in the living room and said with a smile, "Are you planning to talk to me somewhere else right now? It's fine with me, but I don't know what you think."
"Haha." Zhong Nianyao gave a fake laugh in annoyance. "Sorry, I almost forgot about the important matter today. I guess we should find another time to talk about it in a couple of days!"
Although she was a little curious, she didn't need to hear it today. Besides, in an occasion like today, she should not steal the limelight from the protagonists Zhong Mingxin and Baili Leyao!
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's confused look, Lu Yichen couldn't help but laugh.
Zhong Mengfan, who was sitting opposite them, happened to see all the intimate interactions between Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao. The jealousy in her heart was almost beyond words.
Especially when she recalled the scene where Zhong Nianyao had just given her a hard time, she hated her even more. She didn't understand why, since both she and Zhong Nianyao were daughters of the Zhong family, she had been raised with all kinds of education and had grown up to be graceful and elegant, while Zhong Nianyao had been raised in mischief since she was a child.
However, their experiences now are completely different.
She was in love and went abroad to give birth to her child. Although she is back now, the attitudes of her parents and brother have changed a lot.
Zhong Nianyao, however, was engaged to the third master of the Lu family, becoming the future daughter-in-law of the Lu family. Even her parents and brother treated Zhong Nianyao much better than they did her.
Now seeing Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen being so intimate, the hatred in her heart became even stronger.
Why, why can Zhong Nian Yao live a happier life than her.
When she thought of this, she wanted to kill Zhong Nian Yao.
As if sensing Zhong Mengfan's hatred, Zhong Nianyao raised her head abruptly, just in time to meet Zhong Mengfan's jealous gaze. She looked at Zhong Mengfan with a smile on her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Zhong Mengfan was startled when she suddenly met Zhong Nianyao's eyes. However, when she saw Zhong Nianyao's smile, she felt that she must be laughing at her.
She almost jumped up, but just as she moved, her hand was grabbed by Zhong Jinghao beside her.
"Zhong Mengfan, don't cause trouble again." Zhong Jinghao's tone was filled with warning, "Otherwise, if something goes wrong, none of us will care about you anymore. And then, don't come looking for us."
"Brother." Zhong Mengfan was filled with anger. "I am obviously your sister, but why do you always side with Zhong Nianyao?"
