Chapter 322: Chapter 322 Discussing Terms Chapter 322: Chapter 322 Discussing Terms Zhong Niangyao knew that Zhong ngxuan’s visit this ti must not be for a simple reason. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to endure without retorting to ngxuan’s sarcastic remarks.
She didn’t speak again, instead sitting quietly on the sofa, waiting for Zhong ngxuan to reveal her purpose.
Seeing that Niangyao didn’t speak again, ngxuan actually felt sowhat uneasy. Especially since the room was extraordinarily quiet, even the sound of their heartbeats could be clearly heard.
Niangyao, however, was in no hurry, just quietly watching ngxuan.
It was uncertain how much ti had passed before ngxuan finally spoke. “Zhong Niangyao, are you going to the Lu Family banquet tonight?”
“You already knew all about it last night, didn’t you?” Niangyao spoke up. “Are you here today to confirm sothing?”
“No,” ngxuan’s eyes flashed with a vicious glint, and then she spoke. “Zhong Niangyao, I want you to do sothing for .”
That sense of entitlent, as if Niangyao were her subordinate.
Niangyao remained unangry, rely speaking indifferently, “I refuse.”
Such a response was utterly beyond ngxuan’s expectations; she asked anxiously, “You don’t even know what I want you to do, so why do you outright refuse?”
She had considered the possibility that Niangyao would ask what it was about, or refuse after knowing. But she had never imagined that Niangyao would so directly and coldly reject her without even hearing the details.
“No matter what it is, I refuse.” Niangyao leaned back and spoke softly, “Moreover, Zhong ngxuan, surely your mory isn’t that poor! Our relationship isn’t the kind where we can help each other out.”
She truly didn’t understand where ngxuan had found such courage to ask for her help in such an entitled tone.
Although nominally they were cousins, their relationship was far from good, parting on bad terms nearly every ti they t.
So, Niangyao really couldn’t comprehend where ngxuan found the audacity to make such a demand.
“Zhong Niangyao, no matter how bad our relationship is, it doesn’t change the fact that we share the sa blood.” ngxuan narrowed her eyes and continued, “We are blood relatives, and that’s an unchangeable fact. If one prospers, both prosper; if one is hard, both are hard. If I’m having a hard ti, it doesn’t reflect well on you either, does it?”
“Oh, well, I’m sorry, but I don’t feel the sa way,” Niangyao replied with a shrug, unconcerned, “What happens to you is irrelevant to . If you’re not well, I don’t care.”
“You—”
Watching Niangyao’s indifferent and heartless deanor, ngxuan felt an intense hatred but, considering her purpose for coming, she managed to suppress her displeasure and continued, “You reject my request without even asking what it is?”
“Does it matter?” Niangyao asked coolly, “No matter what you want to do, I refuse. And—”
She looked up, her gaze landing on the murderous intent flickering in ngxuan’s eyes, a cold smile forming on her lips as she continued, “I can be sure whatever you want to do isn’t anything good, it might even be sothing utterly unscrupulous. After all, although we’re cousins, our relationship is not that great. If it were a good thing, you would never co to .”
“You— ” ngxuan clenched her teeth and finally spoke, “Zhong Niangyao, since it is like this, how about we make a deal? I dare say I’ve got sothing you want. Just help with one thing.”
After hearing ngxuan’s offer, a glint of interest flashed in Niangyao’s eyes, “Oh, I’d like to see what kind of bargaining chip you have in your hand. Let’s hear it; I might really be tempted!”
“Just promise , and I will certainly bring it out,” ngxuan said with determination, “Zhong Niangyao, the favor I ask of you will be effortless for you. As long as you agree, the reward I offer will be sure to satisfy you.”
“If it’s such an easy task, why don’t you do it yourself?” Niangyao asked laughingly, “Or are you trying to push into a trap?”
“If I could do it myself, I wouldn’t be here negotiating with you.” ngxuan said through gritted teeth, “But this task is definitely easy for you.”
“Then let’s hear it!” Niangyao said with a nonchalant air, “I’d like to know what this monuntal effort to negotiate with is all about.”
“It’s simple, I want you—” ngxuan’s eyes held an even stronger murderous intent, “to create an ‘accident’ and cause Long Jiarui to have a miscarriage.”
Long Jiarui was Lu Chenran’s legitimate wife and was now pregnant. If she gave birth to a boy, any sons ngxuan might have would never compare.
Moreover, if Jiarui had a child before her, ngxuan’s situation would beco very difficult.
The only solution now was to eliminate the child in Jiarui’s womb. Then, ngxuan would try to conceive again before Jiarui, securing her own future.
Of course, in the depths of her heart, there was a darker thought. Her first child had been aborted out of dire necessity, all because of that highborn Long Jiarui. Now, she wanted Jiarui to taste the sa bitterness.
Jiarui was Lu Chenran’s legitimate wife, the great young lady of the Lu Family, and the young miss of the Long Family. None of these statuses were accessible to her now.
The only person who could carry out this deed was Zhong Niangyao. Niangyao was going to the Lu family banquet today, presenting an excellent opportunity. And the thought of Jiarui losing her child at such a joyful mont would be particularly satisfying for ngxuan.
After hearing ngxuan’s words, the calm on Niangyao’s face was shattered; when she looked at ngxuan, it was as if she were staring at a madwoman. “Zhong ngxuan, do you realize what you’re saying?”
“Of course, I do,” ngxuan’s eyes glead fiercely, “I want to get rid of the child in Long Jiarui’s womb. I absolutely cannot let her give birth to this child.”
Seeing ngxuan’s state, Niangyao straightforwardly said, “You are quite ruthless. But this is sothing I don’t see myself doing, so you might just save your breath continuing here.”
