Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Help
“Why do you think I’m laughing at you?” Zhong Niangyao asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, looking at Zhong ngxuan, “Haven’t you and Lu Chenran already broken up? Now that there’s no relationship left between the two of you, why should you care whether he’s about to get married or not?”
“Zhong Niangyao, you—” Zhong ngxuan was choked with rage, but then she rembered that she was trying to get information out of Zhong Niangyao, so she had to swallow her anger and, with patience, began, “What you just ntioned, about Lu Chenran going to marry Long Jiarui soon, is it true?”
“Of course, it’s true!” Zhong Niangyao nodded and said with a smile, “Their families are well-matched, and Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui’s engagent has lasted for quite so ti. Deciding to get married now isn’t all that sudden, is it?”
Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Zhong ngxuan suddenly felt completely devastated. She began to mutter to herself, “No, that’s impossible. He clearly said—”
“He didn’t tell you in bed that he would cancel his engagent with Long Jiarui for you, and then marry you, did he!” Zhong Niangyao’s tone was laced with a hint of sarcasm, “You even believe such a thing. The marriage between Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui isn’t just about the two of them; it’s about the union of two major families. Lu Chenran would never cancel his engagent for you unless he wanted to be kicked out of the Lu Family.”
“But then, if he really were to be kicked out, you probably wouldn’t fancy him anymore, would you!”
Her words turned Zhong ngxuan’s face from green to pale as she avoided Zhong Niangyao’s gaze, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“You understand perfectly well, otherwise you wouldn’t care so much about this,” Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhong ngxuan with that sa not-quite-smiling smile, “You don’t think that with the unborn fetus inside you, you can cancel Long Jiarui’s marriage and have Lu Chenran marry you, do you?”
She hadn’t planned to say these things to Zhong ngxuan. She had only ntioned Lu Chenran’s upcoming marriage in front of so many people today as a reminder to Zhong ngxuan. Not because she was too Holy Mother-like, but because she didn’t want this matter to drag the Zhong Family into it.
Although she didn’t feel very strongly about the Zhong Family, she cared about the two elders. Naturally, she didn’t want this matter to be a concern to them.
When Zhong ngxuan heard Zhong Niangyao’s words, her eyes widened in shock, “You—”
“You want to ask how I know about it, right!” There was nothing but sarcasm in Zhong Niangyao’s eyes, “What you should be worried about right now isn’t that, but your own situation.”
“If I know about it, do you think Lu Chenran’s mother doesn’t? The things I said today weren’t just to scare you. Madam Lu is seriously planning to get rid of all the won around Lu Chenran. Sitting in Madam Lu’s position for so many years, she’s not a simple character.”
“No, that can’t be true.” Zhong ngxuan kept shaking her head, unsure if she was trying to convince Zhong Niangyao or herself, but her tone betrayed her lack of confidence, “The child in my belly is Lu Chenran’s, her grandchild, she wouldn’t—”
“She would—”
Before she could finish, Zhong Niangyao cut off her fantasy, “If you don’t believe it, then just wait for Eldest Mrs. Lu to co knocking on your door.”
Suddenly, Zhong ngxuan was in a panic, and in her unease, she actually grabbed Zhong Niangyao’s hand and blurted out, “Help , Zhong Niangyao, please help .”
Zhong Niangyao withdrew her hand and looked at Zhong ngxuan with a speechless expression, “Do you even know what you’re talking about?”
“Zhong Niangyao, you can definitely help , right?” Zhong ngxuan was still not giving up hope, “Since you know so much about the situation, then you must have a way to help out of this predicant, right?”
“It’s simple,” Zhong Niangyao spoke indifferently, “Terminate the pregnancy, and sever all ties with Lu Chenran, then you’ll be free from the situation.”
This was the most straightforward and brutal solution. After all, even if Madam Lu were to find out, she would at most do just this. If Zhong ngxuan did it first, who knows, maybe the other party would even be grateful!
“That’s impossible.” Zhong ngxuan imdiately objected without hesitation, and as she looked at Zhong Niangyao, her eyes were filled with hatred, “Zhong Niangyao, are you saying this because you want to harm ? You clearly know that the child in my belly is my only bargaining chip.”
“Then you figure it out yourself!” Zhong Niangyao spread her hands in indifference, “You’re not a child anymore, you can take responsibility for your own actions. But, I hope you won’t drag the family into it.”
“Hmph, Zhong Niangyao, we’ll see,” Zhong ngxuan glared at her fiercely, “I won’t give up the child in my belly, the eldest grandson of the Lu Family. Also, I’ll make you regret your aloofness today.”
“Oh, well, I’ll be waiting to see that,” Zhong Niangyao didn’t even bother to lift an eyelid.
With eyes full of frost, Zhong ngxuan snorted coldly and left the room.
Watching Zhong ngxuan’s retreating figure, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but sigh and shake her head.
Because just then, she had seen a change in Zhong ngxuan’s expression. Every decision a person makes can change their life.
Zhong ngxuan’s expression had changed because she had just made a decision that would affect her entire life. Whether such a change was good or bad, really couldn’t be said; it certainly depended on what the person ultimately wanted.
“Ah, why bother!”
Zhong Niangyao had said all that she intended to remind Zhong ngxuan about. What Zhong ngxuan chose to do afterward had nothing to do with her, and she didn’t care anymore.
Ti flew by, and the final exams at Tenglong Academy ca to a close amid a tense atmosphere. Then there were three days for marking.
After three days, the results would be published, and the sumr vacation would officially begin.
However, even before the results were published, so were already eager to strut their stuff. It was none other than Chen Lianlian, who at this mont seed to have foreseen her victory.
Watching the smug Chen Lianlian before her, Zhong Niangyao almost wanted to roll her eyes and cut her off directly, “The results haven’t co out yet, and you’re already jumping for joy. Aren’t you afraid you’ll jinx yourself?”
