Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Attach Importance Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Attach Importance “The enemy that Zhong Niangyao spoke of, who exactly is it?” Li Yiqiu stared intently at Zhong ngxuan, “Tell honestly, so I can think of a way to help you.”
Originally, Zhong ngxuan hadn’t wanted to speak, but under Li Yiqiu’s oppressive gaze, she finally opened her mouth, “It’s Lu Chenran’s mother.”
“What?”
After hearing Zhong ngxuan’s response, Li Yiqiu only felt a wave of dizziness. She braced her hand on the arm of the sofa, it took her a good while to feel better, and then she reached out and tightly grabbed Zhong ngxuan’s hand, speaking, “Are you telling the truth? Who told you this?”
“It was Zhong Niangyao who told before,” Zhong ngxuan said, looking down.
She only said it was Zhong Niangyao who told her, but didn’t specify whether it was true or false. However, from her attitude, it was clear it was true. At least, she had already acknowledged this fact at the bottom of her heart.
“How could this be?” Li Yiqiu lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly, “How could it be her? Isn’t she Lu Chenran’s mother? With Lu Chenran already married, why would she seek another woman for him?”
As she was speaking, it was as if she suddenly thought of sothing, she abruptly looked at Zhong ngxuan, and then spoke, “What did you actually do?”
No mother would look for another woman for her son while her daughter-in-law was pregnant. Especially since Lu Chenran’s wife, Long Jiarui, was the treasured daughter of the Long Family.
Even if Lu Chenran’s mother was insensitive, she wouldn’t do sothing like this. Especially since she ca from a prestigious family, she should disdain such actions even more.
The only explanation was that Lu Chenran’s mother, her target was Zhong ngxuan. Because aside from his wife Long Jiarui, the only other woman close to Lu Chenran was Zhong ngxuan. This decision to bring in a woman was obviously related to the woman by Lu Chenran’s side.
Watching Li Yiqiu’s anxious manner, Zhong ngxuan began to divulge everything about her previous encounter with Madam Lu.
After listening to Zhong ngxuan’s account, Li Yiqiu felt an even greater headache coming on. Now, she was doubting how she had raised Zhong ngxuan, letting her beco as foolish as she was now.
Offending anyone was fine, but she had to offend Lu Chenran’s mother—how was she to live her days in the future! It would be sowhat better if Zhong ngxuan was Lu Chenran’s legally wedded wife. But unfortunately, she was just an unrecognized lover.
“I didn’t do it on purpose,” Zhong ngxuan pouted, “If it weren’t for Lu Chenran’s mother going too far, I wouldn’t have fought back, and I would have honored our promise.”
“You—” Li Yiqiu pointed at Zhong ngxuan, starting to speak but not knowing quite what to say.
After a long while, she lowered her hand and sighed deeply, “Forget it, now that things have already turned out this way, there’s no use in pursuing the past anymore. What’s most important now is to think of a way to solidify your position in Lu Chenran’s heart. Then, you need to get pregnant as soon as possible.”
“If you have truly decided on Lu Chenran for the rest of your life and are determined to stay even without a recognized status, then you should have a child for him. With a child, your connection can never be severed.”
“But, if you are still unclear about it now, then don’t rush into having a child, to avoid delaying your future.”
“I know,” Zhong ngxuan nodded, then a trace of irritation appeared on her face, “But that Zhong Niangyao really is too cruel. All I wanted was to join them for a al, but she rejected so callously, without any consideration for sisterly affection.”
“Let’s not talk about this anymore,” Li Yiqiu spoke directly, “Lean your ear in.”
Looking at Li Yiqiu’s secretive deanor, Zhong ngxuan didn’t say anything and leaned in.
Li Yiqiu whispered a few words in Zhong ngxuan’s ear, and imdiately, Zhong ngxuan’s complexion visibly improved, her eyes brightening considerably.
However—
After Li Yiqiu finished speaking, Zhong ngxuan was sowhat skeptical, “Can this really work? What if—”
“There are no what-ifs,” Li Yiqiu looked at Zhong ngxuan, earnestly speaking, “This is your only chance.”
Zhong ngxuan bit her lip, and finally nodded, speaking, “Mom, don’t worry! I know what to do now.”
In the following days, Zhong Niangyao stayed ho and didn’t go out.
As for Lu Yichen, if the mountain won’t co to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain. He persisted in living by this phrase, visiting the Zhong Family nearly every day.
Even Old Sir Zhong joked that they hadn’t gained a grandson-in-law, but rather married one off.
Lu Yichen wasn’t upset by this; instead, he was quite happy.
In the blink of an eye, the day agreed upon with the Lu Family had arrived.
Old Master Zhong, Old Madam Zhong, and the mbers of the main branch of the family were all prepared. However, before they set off, there was an additional person—Lin Wanrou.
Although Zhong Jinghao and Lin Wanrou’s engagent was almost decided, they were not yet married, so Zhong Niangyao’s matter hadn’t been shared with Lin Wanrou.
But, Zhong Niangyao herself proposed to have Lin Wanrou join.
It wasn’t because she liked Lin Wanrou that much, but rather because Lin Wanrou would be Zhong Jinghao’s fiancée and good things were close at hand for them.
For such a major event, to conceal it from Lin Wanrou was understandable, but ultimately not quite right.
It was also to give face to Zhong Jinghao, so in the end, they decided to call Lin Wanrou along.
Lin Wanrou’s face was always adorned with a light smile, she seed quite happy. Although she only knew they were eting her boyfriend’s family to finalize the engagent, she didn’t know who Zhong Niangyao’s boyfriend was. Nevertheless, this didn’t prevent her from being pleased.
For such an occasion, if the Zhong Family was willing to include her, it showed their regard for her. Not yet married, and already able to participate in such an important event of the Zhong Family, how could she not be delighted?
Everyone showed great importance to this eting, except for Zhong Niangyao herself, who seed to feel no nerves.
As scheduled, they arrived at the restaurant, got out of the car, and as the party entered, soone imdiately ca to guide them inside.
Lin Wanrou followed by Zhong Jinghao’s side, her heart churning like stormy seas. She couldn’t help but tug at Zhong Jinghao’s sleeve and quietly asked, “Jing Hao, who exactly is Niangyao’s boyfriend? Why would the two families choose to et here?”
It wasn’t because the restaurant was particularly luxurious, but because it was the venue for state banquets.
