Chapter 567 - Chapter 567 Chapter 567 Turning Over a New Leaf

Chapter 567: Chapter 567 Turning Over a New Leaf Chapter 567: Chapter 567 Turning Over a New Leaf The next morning, Zhong Niangyao was surprised to find that Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong’s moods seemed to have settled down.

Seeing this, she relaxed a lot.

Time passed quickly, and before she knew it, the day of departure had arrived.

In the evening, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong specially gathered the family for dinner, to send Zhong Niangyao off.

The rest of the Zhong Family found this very strange. Weren’t Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen just going on a honeymoon? Why did it seem like it was as serious as entering a Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave?

Although they found it odd, everyone still followed Old Sir Zhong’s instructions and returned home for the meal.

Throughout dinner, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong kept reminding Zhong Niangyao to stay safe. This only added to everyone else’s confusion, but they didn’t ask anything.

After dinner, Zhong Niangyao spent some time talking with Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, and instead of going back to her own room right away, she knocked on Zhong Mengfan’s door.

When the door opened and Zhong Mengfan saw Zhong Niangyao standing at the doorway, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled warmly and said, “Nianyao, it’s you! What brings you here?”

“Indeed, I do have something.” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “But the matter is a bit complicated, so I think we need to sit down and have a good talk. So, aren’t you going to invite me in?”

After hearing what Zhong Niangyao said, Zhong Mengfan didn’t step aside but smiled and replied, “It’s getting late now, you have a flight to catch tomorrow, better get some rest!”

“I am indeed leaving tomorrow.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded but showed no intention of leaving, “And precisely because I’m leaving soon, there are some things that need to be dealt with.”

Zhong Mengfan’s expression remained unchanged, “So, Nianyao, are you saying that these matters you want to deal with are related to me?”

“Yes!” Zhong Niangyao nodded openly, “These matters do indeed involve you! So, do you want us to go in and talk, or should I call everyone in the family together and have a good discussion right now?”

“Nianyao, even though you’re engaged to Third Master Lu, you’re not married yet!” Zhong Mengfan spoke with a frown, sounding a bit annoyed, “Besides, this is the Zhong Family, not the Lu Family. Even if you really want to throw your weight around, at least pick the right place, okay?”

“I originally intended to settle this privately.” Zhong Niangyao shrugged, her voice laced with a touch of helplessness, “Unfortunately, you refuse. So be it, let’s resolve it in front of everyone! This way, I won’t have to look for any excuses to explain later.”

Before Zhong Mengfan had time to figure out what was going on, Zhong Niangyao had already made a phone call.

Ten minutes later, in the living room–

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong were there, as well as Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin, and of course, Zhong Jinghao could not be missed. Zhong Niangyao and Zhong Mengxuan were also present.

However, Zhong Mingyu was not there, as he had taken his son to Li Yiqiu’s place earlier that day.

Everyone looked puzzled; clearly, they had no idea why Zhong Niangyao had summoned them all.

Just moments ago, they were all together; if there was something to be said, why didn’t they clarify it then? Why call everyone back after they had all gone to rest?

“What exactly is going on, Yaoyao?” Old Sir Zhong asked first, “Did something happen?”

While speaking, his heart was somewhat nervous.

Tomorrow, Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen were set to leave. Others might not know, but he and his wife were very aware that their trip was to find Zhong Mingxin. If things went well, they could possibly see their youngest son again soon.

Now that Zhong Niangyao suddenly gathered everyone, his biggest concern was whether there had been any problems with the trip.

However, despite his nervousness, he made a great effort to control his emotions, not letting Zhong Niangyao notice anything amiss.

He didn’t want his granddaughter to feel any burden about this trip.

Their youngest son had been missing for so many years. Even though hope remained in their hearts, they were also mentally prepared for any outcome.

But when they found out their youngest son was still alive, they were overjoyed. When they learned their granddaughter was about to search for their son, they were even happier.

It’s just that he feared his high expectations would create psychological pressure on his granddaughter. If the result wasn’t good, she would blame herself.

Seeing Old Sir Zhong’s mood, Zhong Niangyao smiled and shook her head, “There are no issues with tomorrow’s schedule. However, there are some things I would like to settle before leaving. Otherwise, I fear leaving any hidden troubles, which would cause more problems in the long run.”

Zhong Niangyao’s words left everyone in the living room even more perplexed.

In a corner unnoticed by all, a fleeting shadow passed through Zhong Mengfan’s eyes. However, her facial expression remained unchanged.

Zhong Jinghao, on the other hand, first looked at Zhong Niangyao, then glanced at Zhong Mengfan, a trace of deep thought flashing in his eyes, as if trying to guess something.

Old Sir Zhong nodded and looked at Zhong Niangyao, “Whatever you have to say, go ahead and speak your mind.”

After scanning the room, Zhong Niangyao’s gaze landed on Zhong Mengfan, “If we’re going to talk about it, the matter today indeed involves Zhong Mengfan.”

“What do you mean by that, Nianyao?”

Zhong Mengfan had yet to say anything when Zheng Silin, on the side, could no longer hold back, “I know, there used to be a substantial conflict between you and Meng Fan. But that doesn’t mean you can slander her!”

“That’s all in the past, and Meng Fan has already turned over a new leaf.”

“I’m not sure whether she’s turned over a new leaf,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head, her gaze lingering behind Zhong Mengfan, “However, Meng Fan has indeed changed a lot, and it could even be described as a complete transformation.”

“But, I’m very curious, what kind of thing could lead to such a huge change in someone, even–”

Her gaze flitted between Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin, “As parents, don’t you find such a change very strange? Don’t you ever doubt whether she is really your daughter?”
