Chapter 701: Chapter 701 Jealousy
The atmosphere in the living room quickly beca lively again, and everyone tacitly ignored Zhong ngfan, so as not to spoil their good mood.
As for ng Fan, it wasn’t clear whether she truly recognized her mistakes, or had co to understand her current position. Thus, she sat there quietly, no longer speaking.
Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong asked Baili Le Yao nurous questions, mainly concerning family matters. However, they had decided that no matter what kind of family Le Yao ca from, they would not oppose the marriage.
Their youngest son had been away for so many years, and now he had finally co back. Plus, he had brought back a daughter-in-law directly; how could they oppose that!
Moreover, Le Yao was Yaoyao’s biological mother. Even just for Yaoyao’s sake, they would not oppose it.
Therefore, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong were always very gentle and kind toward Baili Le Yao.
After learning the basic information about Baili Le Yao, Old Madam Zhong imdiately brought up the matter of the wedding.
When Old Madam Zhong brought up the topic of marriage, everyone else also joined in enthusiastically.
However, Zhong Niangyao still sat there, not participating in the discussion. She and Lu Yichen sat together, whispering quietly.
Niangyao looked at Yichen beside her, smiled, and raised an eyebrow, “You’ve been back for quite a while. Don’t you need to go back to the Lu Family and check in? Aren’t you afraid of what the Lu Family might say?”
“Just let them talk!” Yichen responded nonchalantly, “It’s ti to settle my matters with the Lu Family once and for all.”
Hearing Yichen’s words, Niangyao was montarily taken aback, but then she understood, “It seems that the Lu Family really did sothing quite dishonorable in the past!”
“It wasn’t the Lu Family, it was Old Master Lu,” Yichen spoke calmly, “Frankly, my past frailty had a lot to do with him. But, I suppose he thought I would never find out about it in my lifeti!”
“What?”
This truly shocked Niangyao, “You’re talking about Old Master Lu, not Old Madam Lu. Are you serious, or did you misspeak?”
All this ti, Old Master Lu had been very cordial towards her. She could tell that Old Master Lu cared deeply about her because he valued Yichen the most.
Her intuition was very sharp, so she could see that all of Old Master Lu’s actions were sincere, without any trace of deceit or ulterior motives. But now, Yichen was saying that all along, Old Master Lu’s actions had been insincere. She couldn’t accept that at the mont.
“Are you surprised?” Yichen looked at Niangyao with a calm expression, “Do you think he is a good person?”
“I don’t know,” Niangyao shook her head, “I can’t make any judgnts about him. But I can see that he is sincere towards both and you.”
“He is indeed sincere,” Yichen smirked coldly, “However, his sincerity is terribly cheap. And because it’s so sincere, it’s even more disgusting.”
“Oh, it seems there’s a lot I didn’t know!” Niangyao spoke with interest, “I thought the Zhong Family’s ss was already complicated enough. It looks like things are even more intricate and mysterious! However, I’m still interested in what happened.”
Hearing Niangyao’s words, Yichen chuckled. He reached out and touched her hair, then spoke with a smile, “This matter is not too complicated to talk about, but it’s not overly simple either.”
“I’m all ears,” Niangyao blinked and smiled broadly, “Just go ahead, I have plenty of ti to listen.”
“Are you sure today is the right ti?” Yichen glanced at the people in the living room and then spoke with a smile, “Do you plan to go sowhere else with to talk now? I don’t mind, but I wonder what you think.”
“Hehe,” Niangyao chuckled with so annoyance, “Sorry, I almost forgot there were important matters today. It seems better to find another ti in the next few days!”
Although curious, she felt it wasn’t necessary to insist on hearing it today. Moreover, given today’s setting, it was better not to steal the spotlight from Zhong Mingxin and Baili Le Yao, the main characters of the day.
Watching Niangyao’s sowhat confused expression, Yichen couldn’t help but smile.
Sitting opposite, Zhong ngfan saw all the intimate interactions between Yichen and Niangyao. Her heart was almost overflowing with jealousy.
Especially when she rembered how Niangyao had just made things difficult for her, her hatred for Niangyao deepened. She couldn’t understand why, although both were daughters of the Zhong Family, and she had grown up with all sorts of education and had developed a refined aura, while Niangyao had grown up wildly.
Yet now, their situations were completely different.
She had acted on impulse, gone abroad, had a child, and though she had returned, the attitudes of her parents and brother had greatly changed.
In contrast, Niangyao was steadily engaged to the Third Young Master Lu, becoming the future daughter-in-law of the Lu Family. Even her own parents and brother showed much more favorable attitudes towards Niangyao than towards her.
Seeing Niangyao and Yichen so close now only intensified her hate.
Why should Niangyao be happier than her?
These thoughts made her want to kill Niangyao.
Seemingly sensing ng Fan’s hatred, Niangyao suddenly looked up, eting ng Fan’s jealous gaze. She looked at ng Fan, her smile not reaching her eyes.
ng Fan was startled by Niangyao’s gaze, but then, seeing Niangyao’s smile, she felt that the other was mocking her.
She almost jumped up, but just as she made a move, her hand was grabbed by Zhong Jinghao sitting beside her.
“Zhong ngfan, don’t stir up trouble again,” Jing Hao’s tone carried a warning, “Otherwise, if sothing happens, we won’t intervene. And don’t co to us then.”
“Brother.” ng Fan was filled with annoyance, “Clearly, I’m your sister, but why do you always side with Zhong Niangyao?”
