Chapter 703: Preventing Trouble Before It Happens
Seeing Zhong Jinghao's silence, Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow. "What? You don't even know if she's wrong or not, and now you're rushing to apologize for her. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Zhong Jinghao was stunned for a moment. When he looked up at Zhong Nianyao, his eyes were filled with confusion. "Just now, Meng Fan targeted you like that, and you weren't angry at all. Now you're speaking up for her?"
It has to be said that Zhong Nianyao's behavior really made him a little confused. Could it be that Zhong Nianyao really didn't hate Zhong Mengfan at all?
"No!" Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "Who said I wasn't angry? Zhong Mengfan targeted me again and again today. I'm not a saint, how could I not care at all? Don't think too highly of me."
For a moment, Zhong Jinghao was a little confused. He had no idea what Zhong Nianyao was thinking at the moment.
"Zhong Jinghao." Zhong Nianyao raised her eyes, smiled faintly, and said, "Actually, the question now is not what Zhong Mengfan did, but why did she do it?"
"Although Zhong Mengfan used to often argue with me like this, and we were both tired of each other. But, in an occasion like today, do you think she would really say such a thing?"
For a moment, Zhong Jinghao fell silent. Because of Zhong Nianyao's words, he had to start facing a problem. Zhong Mengfan seemed to have changed a lot now. However, the change was not for the better.
Looking at Zhong Jinghao's expression, Zhong Nianyao knew what he was thinking. She shook her head in amusement and said, "A person's change is definitely not without reason. You should think carefully about what you have done recently!"
"We?" Zhong Jinghao muttered to himself, "Are you saying that Meng Fan's current changes are related to us?"
"Whether it's true or not, you know it in your hearts." Zhong Nianyao looked at Zhong Jinghao and suddenly said, "Do you like the current Zhong Mengfan, or the Zhong Mengfan who was possessed in the past?"
Zhong Jinghao was immediately speechless after hearing this. After a moment of silence, he wanted to open his mouth to tell his answer. However, before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhong Nianyao.
"You don't have to answer me, just answer yourself." Zhong Nianyao's tone was profound. "The real answer is only known to you. And Zhong Mengfan will also know it very well. She can sense how you and your parents treat her."
After saying that, without paying attention to Zhong Jinghao's reaction, Zhong Nianyao turned around and left.
Just after taking a few steps, I saw Lu Yichen coming towards me, "Why are you here?"
"Since you haven't come back for so long, I came out to take a look!"
Lu Yichen came to Zhong Nianyao's side, took her hand very skillfully, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic now! You're already thinking about things like this. Don't you hate Zhong Mengfan?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "I can't say I hate Zhong Mengfan! I just think she's as annoying as a fly. That's a bit too much to say. I definitely don't feel that way about Zhong Mengfan."
"Oh!" Lu Yichen nodded, then said with a hint of amusement, "So, you are doing one good deed a day now?"
“I guess so!”
The smile on Zhong Nianyao's face gradually faded, and a hint of regret appeared in her tone. "Actually, I did this just to hope that the Zhong family could find some peace. Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling, their attitude towards Zhong Mengfan is already very problematic."
"As for Zhong Jinghao, although he may not express it very clearly, it is certain that he definitely thinks this way in his heart."
"As the central party, Zhong Mengfan naturally has some feelings about his parents and brother's attitudes. Although Zhong Mengfan is not very smart, if he really makes trouble, it will definitely be serious."
"If something really happens in the Zhong family, it will be Grandpa and Grandma who will suffer. They are not young anymore, there is no need to continue to worry about such things. Besides, even if it is just a quarrel, it will affect the children's growth."
Lu Yichen nodded, "So, you are taking precautions now."
"You could say that!" Zhong Nianyao nodded and continued, "We're about to leave here, so I still hope the Zhong family can be peaceful and stable and nothing can happen. I also hope that grandpa and grandma can live a happy old age."
Holding Zhong Nianyao's hand tightly, Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nianyao beside him and said, "Even if we go back, we can come back as long as you want."
"I know." Zhong Nianyao nodded with a smile, "However, this is the last thing I can do for the Zhong family before I leave. Even if it's for grandpa and grandma!"
Lu Yichen did not object, or perhaps he did not want to object.
After a moment of silence, Zhong Nianyao spoke again, "We'll probably have a lot of things to do when we get back. At the very least, I won't let go of the mastermind behind the discord between us and what has led to this situation."
Lu Yichen also nodded and continued, "So, you are now arranging everything for the Zhong family so that you can leave with peace of mind, right?"
Zhong Nianyao pulled her hand away, and before Lu Yichen could react, she moved closer to him, took his hand, and said with a smile, "It's not like I've arranged everything. I just felt that Zhong Mengfan's matter was a little urgent, so I came out to chat with Zhong Jinghao."
With the beautiful girl in his arms, Lu Yichen's heart skipped a beat and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If you look closely, you can see that his ears are red.
"Okay, okay, let's go in quickly!"
Zhong Nianyao took Lu Yichen's hand and walked forward quickly, "Otherwise, if grandpa and the others find out that we are gone, I'm afraid they will send people out to look for us again."
When Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao returned to the living room again, the atmosphere inside was still very warm.
However, previously it was just Mr. Zhong, Mrs. Zhong, and Zhong Mingxin chatting. Now, everyone in the living room began to join in the conversation.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room seemed to be more lively than ever before. Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, at least it looked good on the surface.
