“Are you free in a couple of days?” Long Jiarui’s tone was somewhat anxious, “I’ll take you there to have a look then!”

After thinking for a while, Zhong Niangyao nodded, “Alright!”

Although she didn’t know what had happened to the Long Family, it seemed quite urgent.

So, it was best to get it settled before the engagement party, otherwise, after the engagement, they would head to Changbai Mountain, and who knew when they would return.

“Okay, let’s do it tomorrow!” Long Jiarui hastily agreed, “I’ll send a car to pick you up from your house tomorrow!”

Seeing Long Jiarui’s eager demeanor, Zhong Niangyao nodded, feeling inwardly that the Long Family’s trouble must be quite significant!

Zhong Niangyao nodded and said nothing.

“Third sister-in-law, daughter-in-law, I didn’t expect you two to get along so well!”

Lu Yilei walked in with Meng Rou, a teasing smile on his face.

Meng Rou compliantly nestled against Lu Yilei. Although not showing yet, she was already dressed in loose clothing, making her look like a pregnant woman.

Upon Lu Yilei’s arrival, Long Jiarui stood up, nodded slightly in greeting, “Uncle!”

Zhong Niangyao, however, made no move to stand up, continuing to sit leisurely, and merely raised her hand to greet him!

At that, Lu Yilei said nothing, just sat down holding Meng Rou.

He wasn’t doing this to give face to Zhong Niangyao, but for Lu Yichen. Everyone in the Lu Family knew how much Lu Yichen valued Zhong Niangyao, and he wouldn’t dare cross Lu Yichen.

“Third sister-in-law came today to discuss the engagement, right?” Lu Yilei spoke with a smile, “It really is quite urgent!”

“Indeed!” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “Thankfully, there’s still just enough time.”

Meng Rou sat obediently next to Lu Yilei, appearing gentle and lovable.

But, unseen by everyone else, Meng Rou’s eyes towards Zhong Niangyao were venomous.

Currently, the whole Lu Family was in high spirits, busy with the arrangements for Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao’s engagement. The ceremony would soon take place, and she would enter the Lu Family amidst everyone’s blessings.

Yet, here she was, already pregnant with Lu Yilei’s child, and she had been kept on the outside. Even with a child, she couldn’t gain recognition from the Lu Family.

Was this differential treatment really fair?

Thinking this, she couldn’t control her jealousy.

It seemed Zhong Niangyao sensed Meng Rou’s resentment, for she suddenly looked up and gave Meng Rou a radiant smile.

The previously jealous Meng Rou was startled by Zhong Niangyao’s smile and immediately adjusted her mood, stopping her wild thoughts.

She didn’t know if Zhong Niangyao had noticed anything, but she dared not show her resentment anymore.

Currently, Old Master Lu thought highly of Zhong Niangyao and she held a significant position in the Lu Family, one Meng Rou couldn’t afford to offend. For now, she had to remain submissive and bide her time.

Lu Yilei chatted casually with Zhong Niangyao and Long Jiarui. Meng Rou said nothing, just sat quietly with a proper smile on her face.

When Old Master Lu and Lu Yichen came downstairs into the living room, they saw this scene.

Old Master Lu frowned slightly, displeased, “Didn’t I tell you not to bring random people home?”

Today, when they were receiving Zhong Niangyao, Lu Yilei actually brought Meng Rou as well. If the house was full of family members, bringing Meng Rou was like a deliberate insult to him.

Hearing Old Master Lu’s undisguised words of disdain, Meng Rou’s face turned pale, her expression became despondent, and she looked utterly defeated.

“Dad, it’s too much to talk like that,” Lu Yilei couldn’t help but speak up for Meng Rou, “Meng Rou is carrying my child, your grandson! You should show some respect for the sake of the child, if not for her.”

“Whether it’s your child or not, I don’t know,” Old Master Lu said coldly, “but let me make this clear–I will never acknowledge this grandchild.”

Meng Rou immediately stood up, her pale face filled with infinite grievance, she turned tearfully towards Lu Yilei, “Yilei, I… I think I should leave first, so as not to affect your mood.”

Seeing the frail Meng Rou, Lu Yilei truly felt heartbroken. However, before he could speak, Old Master Lu’s words doused him like a bucket of cold water.

“If you don’t want to stay in the Lu Family, you can leave with her,” Old Master Lu’s cold voice continued, “Like I’ve said before, once you leave the Lu Family, your affairs are your own. You’re free to marry whoever you want.”

Suddenly, Lu Yilei found himself in a difficult situation.

Everyone else was silent, saying nothing.

At that moment, Zhong Niangyao suddenly giggled.

Her abrupt laughter, in such a somber atmosphere, stood out starkly. Instantly, all eyes turned towards her.

Zhong Niangyao stepped forward, still smiling, “Uncle Lu, why be so angry? As the saying goes, guests should be treated equally. Today both Miss Meng and I are guests, it wouldn’t be right to treat us unequally. Besides, it’s just a meal. Even if guests come by, it’s normal to offer them a meal!”

At those words, Lu Yilei instantly gave Zhong Niangyao a grateful look.

If someone else had spoken, Old Master Lu might have hesitated, but now that Zhong Niangyao had spoken, it was completely different.

He nodded, not looking at Meng Rou, but focused on Lu Yilei, “Since you’re already here, stay for the meal. But, let’s not have such presumptive actions in the future. I can’t guarantee I’ll still be in such a good mood next time.”

Today, he had to give face to Zhong Niangyao. After all, she was soon to marry Lu Yichen, and just for Lu Yichen’s sake, he couldn’t outright refuse a suggestion made by Zhong Niangyao.

Thus, even if he loathed Meng Rou, he would relent.
