Next, no one brought up any unpleasant matters again, and the atmosphere in the living room seed quite harmonious for a while.
Not long after, Zhong ngxuan humd a song as she walked in from outside. Dressed in the latest seasonal skirt, her makeup delicately done, and dainty jewelry complented by the curve of her lips, she looked radiant.
“Yo, ngxuan, did you just co back from a date?” Zheng Silin joked with a smile, but her words had an implied aning, “Who did you date to be so happy?”
“Just went out with a few girlfriends,” Zhong ngxuan restrained her brilliant smile to a polite one, “We hadn’t seen each other for a long ti, so it was quite delightful.”
“Heh, is that so?” Zheng Silin scrutinized her and continued with a laugh, “I thought you went on a date with soone you like!”
The matter between Zhong ngxuan and Lu Chenran was known to them. If those two really got together, it would be greatly disadvantageous for their main branch. Fortunately, the in-laws had thwarted the lovers in the end. However, seeing Zhong ngxuan’s deanor now, she really suspected that Zhong ngxuan was always deceiving everyone.
“Great aunt, I don’t have anyone I like!” Zhong ngxuan’s smile did not change at all, “Besides, matters like love and marriage should be approached cautiously. So I plan to choose carefully and not rush into anything.”
“It’s good that you understand,” Old Sir Zhong nodded and spoke, “I don’t oppose your wish to marry soone of high status. After all, no girl doesn’t want an outstanding other half. But, I hope that you will find soone suitable.”
He was initially against not just Zhong ngxuan and Lu Chenran marrying; his opposition was towards their involvent while there was still a marriage arrangent. That wasn’t just about being a howrecker, but also a risk for the entire Zhong family, which he couldn’t tolerate.
“Grandfather, rest assured,” Zhong ngxuan nodded, “I was just being foolish before. Now, I’ve already thought it through.”
“That’s good.”
The one who spoke was Zhong Nianyao, nodding her head, “Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui are getting married soon. It’s good that you pulled back in ti, or else it would have been troubleso now.”
Zhong Nianyao’s words felt like a bomb dropped in the living room, catching everyone sowhat off guard.
Zhong Mingyu and Zhong ngxuan’s expressions changed slightly. However, they quickly adjusted their deanor so that no one could see anything unusual.
“Yaoyao, are you serious?” Old Madam Zhong frowned and asked directly, “Is this reliable news or just rumors?”
“If it were re gossip, I wouldn’t have ntioned it here,” Zhong Nianyao glanced at Zhong ngxuan and then spoke, “Long Jiarui is graduating this year, and both families are already discussing the wedding date.”
“It’s good that cousin ngxuan withdrew in ti, otherwise, this hurdle wouldn’t have been so easily crossed. It’s said that Madam Lu plans to personally handle the won around Lu Chenran, absolutely not allowing those won to affect Lu Chenran’s marital matters.”
Though Zhong ngxuan’s expression remained unchanged, her hands on her knees were clenched into fists. Her sharp nails even embedded into her tender flesh, drawing delicate streaks of blood. However, at this mont, she felt absolutely no pain.
“Nianyao, where did you get this information from?” Zheng Silin looked at Zhong Nianyao doubtfully, “If it is as you said, then how do you know?”
Everyone was really curious; how did Zhong Nianyao know all this information? Whether it was Zhong ngfan’s matters or Zhong ngxuan’s affairs, she seed to know them.
“Because I can tell fortunes!” Zhong Nianyao spread her hands indifferently, “I calculated all this. What do you think, great aunt, would you like to tell your fortune too?”
Initially, everyone was quite interested in Zhong Nianyao’s response, but after hearing such an answer, they all withdrew their gazes, looking speechless.
Only Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong said nothing. However, they were convinced by her explanation.
“If you don’t want to say, I won’t force you,” Zheng Silin pursed her lips, sowhat irritably, “Why bother deceiving us with such words!”
Zhong Nianyao shrugged, “Anyway, I’ve already said it. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
After dinner, Zhong Nianyao returned to her room.
But she didn’t expect that just as she entered her room, Zhong ngxuan also squeezed in.
“Is there sothing?” Zhong Nianyao’s tone was very indifferent, “If not, please leave quickly! I want to rest.”
Resting was not true; she really didn’t want to deal with Zhong ngxuan.
“I have sothing to say.” Zhong ngxuan pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and finally spoke, “Zhong Nianyao, what did you an by those words you said downstairs today?”
She actually didn’t want to co over either; she didn’t want to believe the words of Zhong Nianyao in her heart.
During this ti, she had continued her relationship with Lu Chenran behind her family’s back. She was very confident, not thinking she was inferior to Long Jiarui. Moreover, Lu Chenran was really good to her, and she believed that he liked her.
What mattered most was that she had just been diagnosed with pregnancy. She hadn’t yet told Lu Chenran about this. She had planned to wait until the pregnancy was more stable before sharing this good news with Lu Chenran.
However, what she didn’t expect was that before she could share this good news, she suddenly heard such explosive news.
She knew if she ca now, it would surely arouse Zhong Nianyao’s suspicions. But she really couldn’t control herself and wanted to know the answer as soon as possible.
If it was true that Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui were about to get married, then she also needed to seriously consider her future. She already had Lu Chenran’s child in her belly now, so she had to fight for it.
“What words are you talking about?” Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow, then feigned an Epiphany, “Don’t tell you an about Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui getting married!”
Seeing Zhong Nianyao’s deanor, Zhong ngxuan was infuriated, almost gritting her teeth as she spoke, “Zhong Nianyao, you clearly know what I an! Stop pretending here. You said all that just to watch my embarrassnt, didn’t you?”
