Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Conflict Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Conflict “But even after you knew Lu Chenran was engaged, you still continued to muddle along!” Zhong Niangyao didn’t hesitate to tear apart Zhong ngxuan’s veil of sha, “Even now, when Lu Chenran is already married, you still insist on being the third party.”
“Zhong Niangyao, shut your mouth,” Zhong ngxuan said, her anger flaring into fury, “What right do you have to speak to like this? Are you any different from ? You’re with Lu Yichen only to climb up the Lu Family tree too, aren’t you? You just chose Lu Yichen, and I chose Lu Chenran.”
Moreover, she believed firmly that her judgnt was far superior to Zhong Niangyao’s. True, Lu Yichen wasn’t married and wasn’t bound by an engagent. But all he was is a sickly person, his health so poor, who knew how much longer he could last? Furthermore, Lu Yichen was hardly valued in the Lu family. He wouldn’t amount to much in the future.
But Lu Chenran was different, the legitimate eldest son of the Lu family, with a good chance to inherit the family’s helm.
Thus, her choice was the correct one.
At this mont, Zhong ngxuan was able to dismiss the ssages she had previously received, selfishly forgetting everything that had happened at the airport.
“Don’t lump together with you,” Zhong Niangyao said rcilessly, “If Lu Yichen were engaged to another woman, or even slightly romantically involved with another woman, I definitely wouldn’t be with him. To be precise, he and I are not officially together; he’s been pursuing , and I haven’t agreed yet.”
“Zhong Niangyao, don’t act so high and mighty,” Zhong ngxuan’s expression worsened, “You’re no better than ; at least I’m bold and daring. You’re talking pretty now, but if you really had no ambitions, why would you bother with such a weakling like Lu Yichen? You just want to climb up the Lu Family too. I’m telling you, Lu Yichen isn’t valued by the Lu family. Don’t think all of the Lu family receive the sa treatnt. Your choice is absolutely wrong.”
The mont the words “such a weakling” escaped, the indifferent expression on Zhong Niangyao’s face vanished, replaced by a sinister look. With anger in her eyes and without a second word, she stepped forward and slapped Zhong ngxuan’s cheek.
“Slap—”
The crisp sound of the slap filled the room, bringing a deadly silence.
Zhong ngxuan covered her face, seemingly unable to believe what had just happened. “You hit ?”
“Yes, I did hit you,” Zhong Niangyao’s expression was grim, her words harsh, “If you dare to say ‘such a weakling’ again, I won’t just hit you, but I will tear your mouth apart.”
Even though she knew Lu Yichen wasn’t the weak person Zhong ngxuan described, hearing Zhong ngxuan talk that way made her feel uncomfortable. So, without any hesitation, she had struck her.
Indeed, taking action directly was quite satisfying.
By now, Zhong ngxuan, having regained her senses, looked rather fierce. She moved quickly towards Zhong Niangyao and raised her hand, intending to retaliate.
But before her hand could swing down, Zhong Niangyao caught it and forcefully threw her to the ground.
“Zhong Niangyao, I’ll kill you!” Zhong ngxuan quickly got up and walked briskly towards Zhong Niangyao, raising her hand again, determined to slap her no matter what.
She couldn’t stand the insults from Zhong Niangyao any longer; from the mont she walked in, Zhong Niangyao had been shaming her, calling her a mistress, and now she even dared to slap her.
If today she didn’t teach Zhong Niangyao a lesson, would Zhong Niangyao not ride roughshod over her head in the future?
Once again, Zhong Niangyao grabbed Zhong ngxuan’s hand and raised hers to deliver another slap.
Zhong ngxuan, still stunned from the previous slap, received another blow to her cheek, almost leaving her dazed. She looked up at Zhong Niangyao, her eyes filled with endless hatred.
That look didn’t seem to be directed at her cousin, but rather at her enemy.
“Zhong Niangyao, I won’t let you get away with this. Don’t think that just because you have Lu Yichen’s support, you can do whatever you want. I’m telling you, I won’t let today’s matter rest,” ngxuan cread.
“Suit yourself,” Zhong Niangyao replied nonchalantly, a cold smile on her lips, “If you want to make a big deal out of this, go right ahead. I’d like to see how the Lu family would react if they knew what you called Lu Yichen behind their back.”
With that statent, the anger on Zhong ngxuan’s face vanished, replaced by a look of panic, even her voice trembling, “Zhong Niangyao, what are you trying to do? I’m telling you, you absolutely must not let today’s events leak out.”
She had blurted out “such a weakling” in a mont of anger. She understood that amongst others in the Lu family, if even Lu Chenran knew she had said such a thing, he wouldn’t easily forgive her.
If her words were to spread, everything between her and Lu Chenran would be over. All of her efforts thus far would be dashed to the ground.
“What? Weren’t you just thinking about not letting off the hook?” Zhong Niangyao scoffed, “If you dared to say those words, then don’t be afraid of them being known. Zhong ngxuan, you’re really quite hypocritical.”
“Zhong Niangyao, I won’t pursue the matter of you hitting today,” Zhong ngxuan tried to calm herself down, “But you absolutely must not speak of today’s affairs. If I go down, I won’t let you have an easy ti either.”
“Then just try!” Zhong Niangyao replied indifferently, shrugging off Zhong ngxuan’s hand and continuing coldly, “Zhong ngxuan, I won’t speak of what you said today, but rember, I’m doing this not for you, but for our entire Zhong family.”
“Also, don’t let hear ‘such a weakling’ from your mouth ever again, or else, I will make everything you’ve worked so hard for turn to ashes.”
“Zhong Niangyao, you wouldn’t dare!” Zhong ngxuan growled, her face a mixture of fear and anger.
“Want to try ?” Zhong Niangyao’s face carried a smiling expression that didn’t quite reach her eyes, “I absolutely dare, it’s up to you whether you dare to gamble.”
Seeing Zhong Niangyao’s deanor, Zhong ngxuan grew more frustrated but was powerless and could only turn and leave.
Behind her, Zhong Niangyao’s warning echoed, “Zhong ngxuan, if you still want to keep everything you have now, then you better behave yourself from now on.”
