Chapter 277 - Chapter 277 Chapter 277 Jealousy

Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Jealousy Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Jealousy “Oh,” Zhong Niangyao responded indifferently, “I know. So, if there’s nothing else, please step aside!”

Watching Zhong Niangyao’s composed demeanor, Zhong Mengxuan felt a surge of anger rising within her, “Zhong Niangyao, did you even hear what I said?”

“I heard you!” Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhong Mengxuan, “So what? I already said I know, isn’t that enough?”

“Zhong Niangyao, don’t be so smug.” Zhong Mengxuan glared at Zhong Niangyao fiercely, “Don’t think that just because you’ve now won Lu Yichen’s heart, you’ll be able to marry into the Lu Family easily. With your status, you could never become Lu Yichen’s legitimate wife. If you don’t want to be embarrassed, then back out of this yourself.”

“Is that any of your concern?” Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhong Mengxuan with a mocking smile, “Or is it that you are very self-aware, which is why you ended up being Lu Chenran’s mistress?”

With a single sentence, she had ripped off Zhong Mengxuan’s cover, making her complexion turn especially ugly, “Zhong Niangyao, how dare you insult me.”

“I’m not insulting you, I’m just following what you say.” Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but laugh, “If I’m not good enough for Lu Yichen, then you’re equally unworthy of reaching up to the Lu Family, right? So, next time you talk about someone else, it’s best to clear up your own status and not tread yourself down too.”

Zhong Mengxuan was so furious that she could hardly speak, “Zhong Niangyao, don’t be complacent, the Lu Family won’t turn a blind eye to your existence! Just you wait! The people from the Lu Family will come looking for you soon.”

At that time, she wanted to see whether Zhong Niangyao would still be as smug as she was now.

“Just like how Lu Chenran’s mother came looking for you?” Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhong Mengxuan with a sneer, “But it seems like you broke the agreement you had with her, didn’t you? Madam Lu must have a very poor impression of someone who goes back on their word.”

At those words, Zhong Mengxuan’s face changed dramatically, and she blurted out, “How do you know that?”

As soon as she spoke, she realized she had misspoken and quickly corrected herself, “What nonsense are you spouting? Chenran’s mother isn’t that kind of person.”

“She isn’t that kind of person?” Zhong Niangyao raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure? Wasn’t it her who told you to abort the child? And, you had promised her that your affair with Lu Chenran would never become known to Long Jiarui and the Long Family. Now it’s become public knowledge. Although it has been smoothed over in the end, I doubt Lu Chenran’s mother believes this was just an accident.”

“You–” Zhong Mengxuan’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Zhong Niangyao, “How could you know? Have you been following me?”

“I hardly have such leisure.” Zhong Niangyao shrugged nonchalantly, “The only reason I interfered with your and Lu Chenran’s matter was for the sake of Grandma and Grandpa. Now that it’s a done deal, I have nothing more to say.”

“However, my affair with Lu Yichen is quite different from yours. It would be best for you not to interfere too much, or you will have to deal with the consequences.”

Listening to Zhong Niangyao’s threat, Zhong Mengxuan ground her teeth in hatred, “Zhong Niangyao, don’t get too proud of yourself. Maybe in the end, you’ll be worse off than me. I’ll just sit back and watch your downfall.”

She had already heard Lu Chenran complain about his third uncle finding a girl who was not from a matching family, saying that Grandma would definitely be very unhappy, and it wouldn’t be long before they would come for that girl.

It was precisely because she knew this that she had come today to ridicule Zhong Niangyao’s fanciful dreams. But now, she had been fiercely rebuffed.

But no matter how confident Zhong Niangyao was, in the end, she definitely wouldn’t be able to enter the doors of the Lu Family.

“Just you watch!”

As she spoke, Zhong Niangyao’s gaze landed on Zhong Mengxuan’s hand that had been blocking her.

Zhong Mengxuan withdrew her hand and snorted coldly, then quickly walked away.

Zhong Niangyao shrugged her shoulders and headed towards her own room. Although she had encountered Zhong Mengxuan, it didn’t affect her mood at all.

Early the next morning, Lu Yichen came to pick up Zhong Niangyao. They planned to go to the special department to question the individuals involved in yesterday’s incident.

Zhong Mengxuan was the most resentful upon seeing Lu Yichen coming to pick Zhong Niangyao up.

Although she was with Lu Chenran, she had never received such treatment. Or rather, in their relationship, she was the proactive one. It was through her deliberate seduction that she had the opportunity to cling to Lu Chenran.

Yet now, Zhong Niangyao was the complete opposite.

In the relationship between Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen, it was evident that Lu Yichen was the more proactive one.

The two of them were like a normal couple where the man was pursuing the woman.

This was a treatment Zhong Mengxuan could never receive with Lu Chenran. So, how could she not be jealous?

The rest of the Zhong Family had diverse expressions on their faces as they watched Zhong Niangyao leave with Lu Yichen. What they were thinking remained known only to themselves.

Within the Zhong Family, the only people Zhong Niangyao cared about were Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong. The thoughts of others didn’t even register for her.

After having breakfast, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao leisurely headed to the location of the special department.

The two of them rode in the car, eventually arriving in the central city area and stopping outside a seemingly ordinary residential complex.

Stepping out of the car and looking at the complex, Zhong Niangyao raised an eyebrow, “This is the office of the special department.”

Although it looked no different from an ordinary residential area, she could see faint traces of Spiritual Energy emanating from within the complex.

Furthermore, judging by the aura and manner of walking, as well as the gaze of the security guard at the entrance, it was clear that he was no ordinary person. He had undoubtedly seen blood, and his presence carried a sense of justice and ferocity.

If she wasn’t mistaken, this person was likely a soldier who had participated in special operations.

“Exactly,” Lu Yichen nodded, “You know the saying, ‘the most hidden places are in the city, the less hidden are in the mountains?’ This office location is quite good.”

Zhong Niangyao shrugged and said nothing further. She followed Lu Yichen into what seemed to be the largest building in the complex.

As they entered the building, they discovered that although it appeared to be an ordinary residential complex on the surface, inside it was a whole other world.
