Chapter 548: Nowhere to Go
For Li Yiqiu, being able to attend Zhong Nianyao's engagement party was a pleasant surprise.
Zhong Mengxuan has not received any notification and it has been confirmed that she cannot attend, so she feels that she will not be allowed to attend either.
Unexpectedly, the Zhong family finally notified her to attend the engagement party.
When she heard the news, she was very excited because it meant that although she no longer lived in the Zhong family, she was still recognized as the second wife of the Zhong family.
only--
"Is there something wrong?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Yiqiu in front of her and couldn't help but frowned, "You're blocking my way."
Li Yiqiu, who was still immersed in her own thoughts, came back to her senses. She then realized that she was standing in the middle of the corridor, blocking Zhong Nianyao's way.
"sorry."
After Li Yiqiu apologized, she quickly stepped aside.
Zhong Nianyao nodded and continued walking forward.
As they passed by, Li Yiqiu seemed to have thought of something. After thinking for a moment, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Nian Yao, wait a moment."
Looking at Li Yiqiu who walked in front of her again, Zhong Nianyao blinked and asked with some confusion, "Is there anything else?"
There was no name or title, and she felt that the relationship between her and Li Yiqiu was no longer that good. The reason she was willing to let Li Yiqiu attend the engagement party this time was not to forgive the things she had done in the past, but to let it go for the sake of her grandfather.
Feeling the vague unfamiliarity and the repulsive aura from Zhong Nianyao, Li Yiqiu hesitated a bit, but after thinking it over, she stepped forward and said with a lack of confidence, "Nianyao, um... today is your day. Can you please not argue with Mengxuan and let her come as well?"
As she spoke, her tone became a little anxious. "I will always keep an eye on her and will never let her have any chance to make trouble again. I just... I just hope you can give her some respect."
After all, she was her daughter, she couldn't really ignore it.
Faced with Li Yiqiu's plea, Zhong Nianyao's expression did not change at all. She refused directly, "No."
"Nian Yao, I——"
Li Yiqiu was not giving up and wanted to continue speaking, but she was interrupted by Zhong Nianyao just as she opened her mouth.
"Li Yiqiu, I think you'd better understand your current position first." Zhong Nianyao said coldly, "The reason you can still stand here and attend my engagement party with Third Uncle is because of Grandpa, because of your son. What do you have to ask Zhong Mengxuan for mercy?"
These words directly lifted Li Yiqiu's fig leaf, making her feel like finding a hole to crawl into.
Zhong Nianyao had no intention of giving up, but continued, "If you don't want to attend, then I can go and tell Grandpa now. I think Grandpa will understand your love for his daughter and won't let you attend."
"Don't."
Li Yiqiu immediately became anxious upon hearing Zhong Nianyao's words. She quickly said, "I didn't mean that, Nianyao, I...I was just saying it casually. Since you don't plan to let Mengxuan attend, then forget it. I won't bother you anymore, just go and get busy!"
After saying that, she left quickly, fearing that she would be stopped by Zhong Nian Yao in the next second and would not be able to attend the engagement party.
Looking at Li Yiqiu's leaving back, Zhong Nianyao had no extra expression on her face and continued walking forward.
In the evening, in the lounge of the largest hotel in the imperial capital—
Zhong Nianyao was dressed up, just waiting to make her debut. However, she was the only one in the huge lounge. It wasn't that no one wanted to accompany her, but she didn't like being with people she didn't know well, so she had to find something to talk about. Compared to this, she preferred to be alone and quiet.
Lu Yichen originally planned to stay with Zhong Nian Yao in the lounge until the time came for them to appear together.
However, Zhong Nianyao felt that it was unnecessary, and Mr. Lu also hoped to take Lu Yichen to meet his old friends on such a day.
In the past, Lu Yichen was frail and sickly, so he rarely attended those occasions. Of course, whether this was frail or not was now clear to everyone, so there was no need to explain it so clearly.
All in all, Lu Yichen was also driven out by Zhong Nian Yao.
Feeling a little bored, Zhong Nianyao was playing with her cell phone.
But at this moment, the door of the lounge was suddenly opened.
Hearing the sound, Zhong Nian Yao looked up and saw Zhong Mengxuan walking in from outside. She couldn't help but frown.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhong Nianyao asked coldly, "If you want to attend the engagement party, then I still say the same thing - impossible."
Zhong Mengxuan entered the room with delicate makeup and a high-end dress that showed off her figure to the fullest. This outfit was definitely the right one for a dinner party.
"Do you really want to do this?" Zhong Mengxuan's eyes flashed with a somewhat crazy light. "You know very well that if you can't attend this engagement party, then Lu Chenran and I will probably be over. You treat me like this to get revenge for what I did in the past, right?"
"Whatever you say." Zhong Nianyao said nonchalantly, "But please leave now. You are not welcome here."
This was a serious shock to Zhong Mengxuan. Just because Zhong Nianyao didn't let her attend the engagement party, Lu Chenran's attitude towards her had changed drastically.
After the two families met that time, Lu Chenran had shown a lot of concern for her. However, after learning that she was not allowed to attend the engagement party, Lu Chenran's attitude changed again. He rarely returned to the villa and often went to accompany the girl he had recently met.
She had such a hard life, so why should Zhong Nianyao be so happy? This wasn't fair.
When she thought of this, Zhong Mengxuan's deep jealousy began to grow wildly. When she looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes were filled with hatred. If killing was not illegal, she felt that she should have cut Zhong Nianyao into pieces.
"Zhong Nianyao, you are really cruel. You have to force me into a desperate situation, right? Then I won't let you have it easy either."
After she finished speaking, a dagger flashing with cold light appeared in her hand.
Holding a dagger, Zhong Mengxuan rushed towards Zhong Nian Yao and stabbed her hard.
