Chapter 202: It’s Hard to Persuade a Dying Ghost with Good Words
Zhong Nianyao glanced at Zhong Mingyu who was speaking righteously, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
Her second uncle obviously knew about Zhong Mengxuan's situation and agreed with it. I really don't know whether to say he loves his daughter or not.
However, Zhong Mengxuan's actions are enough to show that her nature is not much better.
Hearing Zhong Mingyu's obviously exculpatory words, Old Master Zhong became even angrier. "You idiot, do you even know what you're talking about? That's your daughter, and not only did you not try to dissuade her, you even said such things. Do you even know what Zhong Mengxuan is doing?"
Zhong Mingyu lowered his head and dared not say anything.
"Zhong Mengxuan, so you're planning to stick to this path forever, right?" Old Master Zhong knew that it was useless to say anything to Zhong Mingyu. He looked directly at Zhong Mengxuan and asked, "Have you thought about your future?"
"Grandpa, I know exactly what I want." Zhong Mengxuan's eyes flashed with ambition. "I don't know what will happen in the future, but I like Chen Ran now. Even if it means I have no status and stay by his side, I am willing. Besides, who can predict what will happen in the future!"
Although Lu Chenran is going to marry Long Jiarui now, who can say for sure whether their marriage can last a lifetime? Now staying by Lu Chenran's side and being an unknown lover is indeed very aggrieved.
However, Lu Chenran was the eldest son and grandson of the Lu family. The Lu family was a long-standing family, naturally with its own strict rules. Lu Chenran's status meant he had a great chance of inheriting the Lu family in the future.
By then, Lu Chenran will become the head of the Lu family. Then, as the lover of the head of the Lu family, this status will be much better than marrying someone of equal social status now.
Moreover, although Madam Lu asked her to abort the child, she did not restrict her from giving birth to Lu Chenran's child. As long as she had a child in the future, she would have a chance to gain a foothold in the Lu family.
So, no matter what, she would not leave Lu Chenran.
"You are simply extremely confused." Madam Zhong was furious. "No matter how high-sounding your words are, you are just a lover if you stay with Lu Chenran. Do you know how many people will look down on you like this? And your future children will also be illegitimate. Is this what you want to see?"
"Grandpa, grandma, it's useless for you to say anything." Zhong Mengxuan's attitude was very firm. "I'm not a child anymore. I'm grown up and I have my own choices. You just need to respect me. There's no need to say anything else."
Seeing Zhong Mengxuan's stubborn attitude and Zhong Mingyu's intention to stay out of it, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong were filled with anger.
However, they also knew that even if they wanted to intervene in this matter, they had no way to do anything. They couldn't really kick Zhong Mengxuan out!
Moreover, if Zhong Mengxuan was really kicked out, the news would get to the Lu family, and they might think that they looked down on the Lu family. At that time, who knows what kind of losses the family would suffer.
There was disappointment in Mr. Zhong's eyes. He looked at Zhong Nianyao, thought for a moment, and then spoke, "Yaoyao, what do you think about this matter?"
"Grandpa!" Zhong Mengxuan exclaimed, "What does this have to do with Zhong Nianyao? Why are you asking her?"
Old Master Zhong ignored Zhong Mengxuan. His eyes were still fixed on Zhong Nian Yao, and he was determined to get her answer.
Zhong Nianyao was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. "Grandpa, everyone has their own choices. Zhong Mengxuan is already an adult. You can advise her, but you can't make decisions for her."
"Everyone can only walk their own life. No one else can help them walk their life."
Although she was a little surprised, from the moment Mr. Zhong asked her to sit down, she knew that even if she didn't want to, she was destined to get involved.
But, after all, she was already involved in this matter from the very beginning.
The reason why Mr. Zhong asked her for her opinion was not because he really wanted to listen to her opinion, but because he wanted someone to convince him.
Mr. Zhong knew her abilities, so he just wanted to convince himself through her.
Old Master Zhong cast a disappointed look at Zhong Mingyu and Zhong Mengxuan, then sighed and shook his head. "It seems that your attitude is very firm. No matter what I say, it won't change your decision. In that case, you can do whatever you want!"
Then, his gaze fell on Zhong Mengxuan, with an unfathomable light, "Whether it was in the past or today, I have said everything I should say and advised you as much as I should. Since you have chosen this path, you will have to bear the consequences yourself. Even if you have to kneel, you must complete this journey for me."
Zhong Mengxuan didn't know why Mr. Zhong suddenly changed his mind, but now that Mr. Zhong had compromised, she was relieved. Otherwise, she really didn't know what she would do.
Although her attitude was firm, she still had a little worry in her heart. She was afraid that Mr. Zhong would really kick her out of the house as he had said before.
Zhong Mingyu also felt a lot more relaxed.
"Old man..." Mrs. Zhong seemed to want to say something, but she was interrupted by Mr. Zhong just as she opened her mouth.
"Old lady, forget it." Mr. Zhong reached out and took Mrs. Zhong's hand, then shook his head gently. "Some things can't be changed by just a few words of persuasion. It's hard to persuade a dying ghost with kind words. Some people have to fall into trouble before they realize their mistakes."
Old Madam Zhong also understood what her husband meant. She opened her mouth, and in the end, all her words turned into a sigh.
"Mengxuan, since you're so insistent, we'll just leave it alone." Old Madam Zhong looked at Zhong Mengxuan with lingering worry in her eyes. "But no matter what, you've had a miscarriage now, so the most important thing is to take good care of your body. This is very harmful to a woman's health. Go upstairs and rest first! For the time being, just stay in your room and rest well! I'll have food and supplements delivered to your room."
Faced with Madam Zhong's concern, Zhong Mengxuan was still somewhat moved. She nodded, "Grandma, I understand."
