Chapter 326 Getting older
Zhong Nianyao's arrival caused varying degrees of impact on everyone except Mr. Lu. However, for Mr. Lu's sake, everyone smiled when they faced Zhong Nianyao.

Even though he despises Zhong Nianyao in his heart, he is still very polite on the surface. No matter what, these are guests invited by Mr. Lu.

Dinner hasn't started yet, and everyone is chatting in the living room.

Mr. Lu wanted to talk to Lu Yichen about something, so he called Lu Yichen to the study.

Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nianyao, and after seeing the other party nodded, he followed Mr. Lu to the study.

He knew very well what kind of temper Zhong Nianyao was, so he was not worried that Zhong Nianyao would suffer a loss here. On the contrary, she should be more worried about those who cause trouble for her.

After Mr. Lu and Lu Yichen left, other male members of the Lu family also found excuses to leave. Soon, there were only a large group of women left in the living room.

Looking at the woman in the living room, Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.

At this time, Mrs. Lu stopped pretending, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by seriousness and gloom. This also made the atmosphere in the entire living room become weird.

Although Mrs. Lu is a little humble in front of Mr. Lu, as the largest elder in this big family besides the old man, her status in the Lu family is second only to Mr. Lu.

Now seeing Mrs. Lu's face downcast, the others immediately fell silent and did not dare to speak anymore. The entire living room suddenly became quiet, so quiet that you could almost hear everyone's breathing.

In such a depressing atmosphere, no matter who it is, they will feel very uncomfortable.

However, Zhong Nianyao seemed not to be affected in any way, sitting there quietly, picking up the teacup and sipping tea from time to time, with a contented smile on her face. The whole person looked very calm and not affected in any way.

Seeing Zhong Nianyao like this, Mrs. Lu's face became even more ugly. She suppressed her inner disgust and spoke directly, "Miss Zhong, I really didn't expect that I would see you here again!"

"Really?" Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said with a smile, "However, before coming here, I was mentally prepared to see you again."

"Grandma, have you met before?"

The person who spoke was Lu Beiyu, the daughter of the Lu family's eldest brother, Lu Yihong, and Lu Chenran's sister. "Why haven't you heard of it? Did our family have any interactions with the Zhong family before?"

There was an innocent look on his face, as if he was simply curious. However, the underlying meaning behind his words was that he looked down on the Zhong family.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" As a mother, Shi Shi, Lu Yihong's wife and the eldest lady of the Lu family, also spoke at this time. She reprimanded, "Anyway, Miss Zhong is a guest today. Besides, What happened between Miss Zhong and your grandma is none of your business!"

Although he said he was scolding, the meaning behind his words was that he was not polite at all. Obviously, she also disliked Zhong Nianyao. However, this is not surprising. Although the Shi family is not as good as the Lu family, it is still a famous family in the imperial capital. The second wife of the Lu family, Jiang Nanyi, was also born in a southern family. Of course, there is also Long Jiarui who just married Lu Chenran.

The Lu family's wives, no matter which one they were, were from famous and wealthy families, so they naturally looked down upon Zhong Nianyao, who came from a second-rate family.

It's just that they are the people invited by Mr. Zhong, so they naturally don't dare to embarrass them openly. However, it is still okay to use some words to prick it.

"Why rebuke the child!" Mrs. Lu Shi Shiran said, looking condescending, "Besides, what Beiyu said is right, our Lu family has no contact with the Zhong family. After all, not everyone has it. Qualified to step into the door of our Lu family.”

"Then I am really honored." Zhong Nianyao was not angry at all, "After all, my qualification to enter the Lu family was given by Mr. Lu himself. It seems that I am still qualified!"

Since these people insist on belittling her, they should remember that she did not come uninvited today, but was personally invited by Mr. Lu.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhong Nianyao's words came out, everyone's originally contemptuous expressions softened and they became a little more wary.

"You are still so sharp-tongued!" Mrs. Lu still had a calm face, "However, I thought that after the last meeting, we would never have the chance to meet again."

"After all, last time, Miss Zhong clearly expressed to me that you have no interest in Lu Yichen. Unexpectedly, I saw you two coming to the door together today. It seems that your young minds have become too young. It’s so fast! Or was Miss Zhong just lying to me last time?”

The implication is that Zhong Nianyao is a person who is greedy for vanity and does not keep his promises.

Hearing Mrs. Lu's address to Lu Yichen, Zhong Nianyao's eyes flashed with an unknown light, but the expression on her face did not change at all, "Mrs. Lu was joking, I think you are probably old, so you have a bad memory." Not very good.”

"I was indeed not interested in Lu Yichen at that time, but as I said, I am a person who does what I want, and I might have changed my mind that day. Now I think Lu Yichen is a good choice, and I am starting to be interested in him again. ,is it not OK?"

When she spoke, she had a sweet smile on her face, looking like she was so angry that she wouldn't pay for it with her life.

"you--"

Mrs. Lu was so angry, especially when she heard Zhong Nianyao say that she was older, she was so angry that the veins on her face were about to pop out.

No matter what age you are, a woman is a woman. As long as you are a woman, you never like to be called old. Especially for a woman with a high position like her, no one dares to mention the word "old" in front of her. But now Zhong Nianyao is openly mocking her for being old.

"Grandma!" Lu Beiyu quickly came to Mrs. Lu's side. After giving Mrs. Lu some relief, she looked at Zhong Nianyao and said reproachfully, "Miss Zhong, how could you make grandma angry like this! No matter what "Grandma is your elder, you can't be so rude to grandma just because you are a guest invited by grandpa!"

Zhong Nianyao spread her hands with an innocent expression, "Miss Lu, you can't just accuse people casually! I'm just telling the truth, how can I be rude?"
