Chapter 73 Borrowing Money
Zhong Minghao's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, but he still tried hard to suppress his inner anger and forced a gentle smile on his face, "Nian Yao, there were guests just now, so I said a few more words. Are you angry now?"
"I'm only doing this to protect the reputation of our Zhong family. Why are you being so sharp?"
"That's really hard work, uncle!" Zhong Nianyao raised a sarcastic smile, "However, if you have time, please spend it on your eldest cousin! After all, they are your biological children."
Zhong Minghao's eyes flashed with a cruel light, but he still had a smile on his face, "Haha, if you don't like it, I won't control you too much in the future."
After saying that, he winked at Zheng Siling beside him.
Zheng Siling understood and said with a smile, "Yes! Nian Yao, don't be angry. By the way, what exactly did Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng want to talk to you about just now?"
Zhong Nianyao's eyes flashed with understanding, and then she looked at Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling with a smile, "Why, uncle, aunt, are you curious about the relationship between me and them?"
"No." Zheng Siling smiled and shook her head, her tone full of concern. "Just now, Director Meng and the others said that they hope you can help with a small favor. We are just worried that you are just a child, and if you can't help, we can still help!"
"Then I really want to thank my uncle and aunt for their concern." Zhong Nianyao's eyes were clear, as if she could see through everyone's thoughts. "However, Mr. Meng and the others don't want too many people to know about this matter, so I promised them to keep it secret. If you really want to know, then go and ask them directly!"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling to respond, she turned around and walked upstairs.
Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling, who were left there, could no longer control their expressions and their faces suddenly became gloomy.
"This jinx," Zheng Siling cursed softly, "Why doesn't she just die earlier like her short-lived parents?"
He happened to live in this world, not only monopolizing the favor of the old man and the old lady, but also occupying that huge fortune. You have to know that Zhong Mingxin was a powerful figure in the imperial capital back then. He was very resourceful and had accumulated a considerable fortune. Although it was not as much as the Zhong family, it was still a huge fortune.
Moreover, those are all on the surface. No one knows whether there is anything else going on in private.
However, what is certain is that everything should be in Zhong Nianyao's hands now. If Zhong Nianyao, the unlucky star, died with her parents, then everything would belong to the Zhong family now, and they would have a chance to get it.
That’s right, although no one knows who Zhong Nianyao’s biological mother is, everyone assumes that her biological mother has passed away.
"Shut up." Zhong Minghao scolded directly, "Don't talk nonsense about some things. Don't you see where you are now?"
No matter what, he was his brother, and it was not easy for him to hear his wife say that. Furthermore, they were in the living room right now. If the servants heard what they were saying, and the old man got to know him, who knew what kind of lecture he would give him!
Before, because of such a thing, he had been pulled into the study by the old man and scolded.
Zheng Siling wanted to say something, but she looked around and closed her mouth.
Zhong Minghao glanced in the direction of the stairs and said, "Tomorrow, ask your acquaintances to see if anything big has happened in the Meng family recently."
"good."
On the other side, Zhong Nianyao had already gone upstairs and was about to enter her room, but was stopped at the door.
Looking at the person watching her, Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow, "Is there something wrong?"
The person who called her was none other than Zhong Mengfan.
Zhong Mengfan looked at Zhong Nianyao in front of him with a somewhat evasive look and an awkward attitude. "Can we go into your room and talk?"
Looking at Zhong Mengfan, who looked a little different than usual, and then glancing at the faint pink aura on his body that seemed to carry a faint hint of black energy, she finally nodded, then opened the door and stepped aside, "Come in!"
The room is very large, and naturally there is a small reception area with a sofa.
The two sat opposite each other. Zhong Mengfan lowered his head and kept hesitating. He crossed his hands and kept fiddling with his fingers. He looked shy, but he never said a word.
"If you have something to say, just tell me!" Zhong Nianyao looked at Zhong Mengfan and said directly, "You're not looking for me just to build some sisterly relationship with me, are you?"
"Who has any sisterly relationship with you?"
Zhong Mengfan blurted out, but then she remembered her purpose and immediately changed her words, "We must be sisters! Even if we are cousins, it can't change the fact that we have the same blood flowing in our veins."
Looking at Zhong Mengfan who was acting out of character, Zhong Nianyao raised the corner of her mouth into a half-smile. "Whether there is affection between us or not is not something you can tell with words! Don't beat around the bush about what's going on. I don't have that much time to waste here with you."
Zhong Mengfan seemed to be in a dilemma. He opened his mouth again and again, but no words came out.
Such a hesitant attitude made Zhong Nianyao feel a little impatient, "If you don't want to tell me, then get out!"
"I--"
As if he had made up his mind, Zhong Mengfan took a deep breath and said, "Lend me one million!"
"What?"
Zhong Nianyao almost thought she had misheard. If she was drinking water right now, it would have probably spit it out. "You asked me to borrow money?"
She really didn't expect that Zhong Mengfan would come to her today to borrow money. Is their relationship really that good?
Moreover, the amount borrowed is not a small amount.
"That's right, Zhong Nianyao, lend me one million."
Once you open your mouth, some things are easy to say. Zhong Mengfan looked at Zhong Nianyao and said, "I really need this one million right now. Please lend it to me! I promise to pay you back as soon as possible."
She didn't want her parents to know about this. And the only person who could come up with so much money was Zhong Nianyao.
In other words, most of their peers are still studying, and even those who have graduated are still spending their family's money.
