Chapter 328: Chapter 328 Scumbag Chapter 328: Chapter 328 Scumbag As soon as these words were spoken, the living room imdiately fell silent, with everyone’s gaze focusing on Zhong Niangyao, so curious, so malicious.
Zhong Niangyao paused in slight astonishnt, but quickly realized that this was what Lu Bei Yu had been setting up this whole ti, waiting for her! She refused to believe that Lu Bei Yu didn’t know about her relationship with Zhong ngxuan.
After all, her fainting incident had caused such a commotion, those from the Lu Family must have investigated her background thoroughly by now! However, if they thought they could embarrass her like this, they were greatly underestimating her.
With a slight curve of her lips into a smile, she responded calmly, “This is no coincidence. After all, we share the sa Zhong surna! That’s my cousin.”
Upon hearing this reply, everyone present was stunned. No one had expected that Zhong Niangyao would be so straightforward. They had assud she might have tried to be evasive.
“How so? Is it strange?” Zhong Niangyao tilted her head and smiled, “I thought you all knew!”
“How could we know!” Shi Shi snapped back to her senses, her smile gracious, her thoughts completely unreadable, “It’s just that I was so surprised, I never expected your cousin to be——”
She didn’t finish her last sentence, but it seed everyone present understood what she ant.
“It seems that the Zhong Family’s upbringing really isn’t up to par!” Lu Bei Yu sneered disdainfully, “To raise such a daughter, it’s truly a misfortune for your family! After all, no girl from our kind of wealthy family would willingly consent to be soone’s mistress. Being a mistress is a shaless existence.”
After finishing, she suddenly covered her mouth, her face feigning embarrassnt as she spoke, “Don’t mind , I’m not talking about you, just your shaless cousin. However, I believe you wouldn’t mind, right! After all, I’m only stating the truth!”
Those present looked at Zhong Niangyao with expressions full of anticipation for a spectacle.
However, nobody noticed that Long Jiarui’s countenance was slightly unpleasant. But her displeasure was not directed at Zhong Niangyao; it was toward Lu Bei Yu.
Everyone knew that today’s family banquet was to celebrate her pregnancy. But now, Lu Bei Yu had brought up the matter of her husband’s mistress in front of so many people—this wasn’t about putting Zhong Niangyao in a spot; it was a slap in Long Jiarui’s face.
Although she was now Lu Chenran’s wife, there wasn’t much deep affection between them; their marriage was based on interests. Therefore, she didn’t care about Lu Chenran having a mistress and would turn a blind eye.
But her indifference didn’t an she enjoyed being talked about in such a manner.
Now, compared to Zhong Niangyao, she was more discontented with Lu Bei Yu. However, given the nature of today’s gathering, she couldn’t show her dissatisfaction no matter how upset she was.
She would rember today’s incident and would find an opportunity to repay Lu Bei Yu in the future.
Everyone was waiting for Zhong Niangyao’s response, or perhaps, they were waiting to see her embarrassed.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Zhong Niangyao’s expression remained unchanged, and even a smile of interest curled up on her face. She looked at Lu Bei Yu and spoke with a smile, “Of course I don’t mind. After all, you’re speaking the truth! If you don’t care about your brother’s reputation, why should I worry about the reputation of a cousin who is quite removed from ?”
“Zhong Niangyao, what do you an by that?” Lu Bei Yu turned red with anger, “We were talking about your cousin, not my brother. I warn you, don’t drag into this and tarnish his reputation. I will not let it go.”
Shi Shi’s expression soured as well, “Lady Zhong, we respect you as a guest invited by the father, and we have treated you with great courtesy. But that does not an you can spout nonsense here and even slander my son’s reputation.”
In her heart, her eldest son was the most important. From his birth, she had placed high hopes on him. Of course, she had always been satisfied with her eldest son.
The only dissatisfaction, perhaps, involved Zhong ngxuan’s existence. But as a mistress, a re plaything, she didn’t care much.
Now, Zhong Niangyao was speaking about her most cherished son, and rembering the relationship with Zhong ngxuan, how could she not be angry?
“Why are you getting angry?” Zhong Niangyao blinked her large eyes innocuously, “Wasn’t it you who brought it up just now?”
As she spoke, she turned to Lu Bei Yu, “Just now, you were the one speaking. I was rely agreeing with a word or two. How has it beco my fault now?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Lu Bei Yu grew anxious, “We’re discussing your cousin, not my brother. Don’t try to rope us into this without reason.”
“But, isn’t your brother the one involved with my cousin?” Zhong Niangyao continued to question, “If my cousin is shaless, what does that make the man involved with her?”
For a mont, Lu Bei Yu didn’t know how to respond, “You—”
“I’m simply stating the truth,” Zhong Niangyao said with a hint of sarcasm curling her lips, “I don’t think what my cousin did was right. However, equally, I don’t think the bla lies solely with her. After all, another man was also unfaithful, wasn’t he?”
“What I find odd is why such affairs are always entirely blad on the won? Clearly, it’s the man who is unfaithful, yet because he is male, does that make it seem natural?”
So sotis, she really felt that the won of these so-called wealthy families harbored even more archaic thoughts in their bones than those of ancient tis.
“Surely eloquent indeed!” Old Madam Lu spoke up, her cold gaze falling on Zhong Niangyao, “So, are you now speaking out for your cousin?”
“No,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head directly, “You must have investigated; my relationship with her isn’t even that close. I was rely discussing the facts. After all, in cases of infidelity, it’s absolutely impossible for only the third party to be at fault; despicable n are equally detestable.”
Hearing Zhong Niangyao speak this way about her son turned Shi Shi’s expression particularly grim. Yet, under Old Madam Lu’s warning gaze, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she dared not say anything more.
