Chapter 494: Chapter 494 Uninvited Chapter 494: Chapter 494 Uninvited Lin Wanrou had been in a dazed state, or rather, from the mont she entered the private room, her mind had completely shut down.
In fact, when she arrived at the Imperial Restaurant, she was able to guess that Zhong Niangyao’s boyfriend must be soone extraordinary. However, she could never have imagined that Zhong Niangyao’s boyfriend would turn out to be the Third Young Master Lu.
At this mont, she couldn’t help but recall a news item she had seen long ago about the Third Young Master Lu and Zhong Niangyao. However, that news was quickly suppressed and then disappeared without a trace, so she gradually forgot about it.
But who would have thought that these two people had been together all along and were now discussing marriage? Such news really made her feel dizzy.
However, in such a setting, it was absolutely inappropriate for her to ask anything further; she could only quietly sit next to Zhong Jinghao and eat.
As for the rest, she would find ti to ask her boyfriend later.
At a seemingly perfect mont in the room’s atmosphere, there suddenly ca a knock on the door.
Old Master Lu couldn’t help frowning but still had his eldest son go to open the door.
Now that the dishes were all served, he didn’t know who would co at this ti. Early on, he had made it clear that he was hosting important guests today and had instructed everyone not to disturb them.
So, he really didn’t know who, lacking awareness, would co knocking at this ti.
Soon, an unexpected figure walked in from outside. Her arrival also caused the originally lively atmosphere in the private room to suddenly turn cold.
The visitor was none other than Zhong ngxuan.
Previously, no matter how much she pleaded, Zhong Niangyao had been unwilling to help. Later, her mother had given her an idea not to tell the elders and to just show up on the day they were eting.
Although uninvited, it might seem abrupt, but since she was Zhong Niangyao’s cousin and today was such a special day, the grandparents would surely not say much even if they were displeased inside.
If only she could have a al with the Lu family, let them know that her relationship with Zhong Niangyao was sowhat decent, that would be enough.
Though she didn’t want to ride on Zhong Niangyao’s coattails, if she wanted to stay by Lu Chenran’s side, she had to have her own leverage.
The sudden appearance of Zhong ngxuan turned everyone’s faces almost imdiately.
Naturally, the Lu family were aware of who Zhong ngxuan was; even if they had not seen her in person, they had seen her photos. Of course, they were also aware of the relationship between Zhong ngxuan and Lu Chenran. However, they had not expected that she would show up in such a situation today.
If this was arranged by the Zhong family, then it was really a slap in their face.
Speaking of whose expression was the worst in the Lu family, it undoubtedly belonged to Lu Chenran.
His relationship with Zhong ngxuan was almost in a semi-public state now. Having his lover so brazenly appear alongside his closest kin, even sharing a table for a al, was just outrageous!
As if unaware of the sudden silence in the room, Zhong ngxuan found a seat as soon as she entered, then smiled at everyone, “Sorry, I’m late. I hope I haven’t spoiled your fun.”
Her deanor was as if she had intended to be here but was delayed by other affairs.
“You’re not late.”
Seeing Zhong ngxuan’s shaless behavior, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but sneer. Her words were suffocating, “We didn’t plan to bring you along at all, but now you’ve shown up on your own. It seems you were really eager to attend this al!”
At those words, a hint of embarrassnt flashed across Zhong ngxuan’s face, but she still pretended to be composed, “I was just worried about you, so I wanted to co and see for myself.”
“Heh, do you believe what you just said?” Zhong Niangyao scoffed coldly, “But you have a thick skin, clearly rejected yet still have the audacity to show up, and uninvited at that.”
Zhong ngxuan’s face imdiately turned even uglier, “Nianyao, we’re sisters, why speak in such a manner?”
She hadn’t expected Zhong Niangyao to expose her so bluntly in front of so many people. It was utterly humiliating.
Moreover, after Zhong Niangyao’s words, her original plans had all but evaporated. After all, the Lu family mbers were not blind; they could see that her relationship with Zhong Niangyao was not good.
Now, she sowhat regretted coming.
Old Sir Zhong’s sharp gaze fell on Zhong ngxuan, “Zhong ngxuan, I expect an explanation from you when we return.”
Faced with Old Sir Zhong’s piercing eyes, Zhong ngxuan couldn’t help but shudder and lowered her head, a flicker of fear crossing her mind.
She realized how unwelco her presence was and how embarrassing her situation had beco.
She looked up, her gaze inadvertently shifting toward Lu Chenran.
It had been many days since she last saw Lu Chenran; if it had not been for coming here, she might not have had the chance to see him anyti soon.
Thinking of this, her glance towards Lu Chenran carried an added trace of resentnt.
The atmosphere in the room imdiately beca even more awkward.
As one of the involved parties, Lu Chenran’s feelings at this mont were particularly indescribable. He really wished he could turn back ti to yesterday and, by hook or by crook, find a way not to co.
Having a al together with his family and his lover was just too bizarre, no matter how one looked at it!
Zhong ngxuan really had no understanding of the situation. What could possibly change just by seeing each other on such an occasion today?
Thinking this, he avoided Zhong ngxuan’s gaze, almost unwilling to acknowledge knowing such a person. However, for the sake of the Zhong family, he still couldn’t treat Zhong ngxuan poorly in the future, considering they were about to be relatives.
Zhong ngxuan’s sudden arrival brought a notable change in the atmosphere of the room. However, fortunately, just before her arrival, Old Master Lu and Old Sir Zhong had practically discussed everything.
So even now, with Zhong ngxuan sitting there, they did not press her with any questions.
