"Zhong Nianyao, do you really not care about sisterhood at all?" Zhong Mengxuan stood up and raised her voice, "It's just a small favor now, and you are not willing to help? Do you still have a conscience?"

"Mengxuan, sit down." Li Yiqiu directly pulled Zhong Mengxuan down, and then scolded in a low voice, "How can you talk like that? Nianyao is your sister, and you are hurting the sisterhood by talking like that."

"I'm just telling the truth, what's wrong with that?"

Although Zhong Mengxuan was pulled to sit down, her tone was still full of resentment, "What's the sisterhood you're talking about? If there really was sisterhood, why wouldn't she even help with such a small favor?"

Zhong Nianyao was still sitting there quietly, letting Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan play the good cop and the bad cop respectively, without any expression, looking like she was just watching a show.

Because of Zhong Nianyao's calmness, Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan couldn't continue acting for a moment.

Turning her head to look at Zhong Nianyao again, Li Yiqiu looked apologetic, "Nianyao, Mengxuan speaks without thinking, you should not bother with her. In fact, she is also anxious, so she is like this. You don't know that Lu Chenran has neglected Mengxuan recently, and she is very uneasy, she-"

"I know."

Before she could finish her words, Zhong Nianyao interrupted Li Yiqiu and said, "Lu Chenran has a new love now, so he will naturally ignore her. But what does all this have to do with me?"

With just two or three simple sentences, Li Yiqiu was almost unable to continue speaking.

After a moment of silence, Li Yiqiu spoke again, "Nianyao, just think of it as helping Mengxuan, isn't it okay? Besides, it's not a bad thing for you to do. It's just taking her to this dinner party. It's an easy thing for you. But for Mengxuan, this is her best chance."

Zhong Nianyao raised her head, looked at Li Yiqiu with a half-smile, and said sarcastically, "Li Yiqiu, face is a good thing. Even though it's lost, you can still pick it up and use it."

"Zhong Nianyao, what do you mean by that?" Zhong Mengxuan tried hard to hold back her anger, but her tone was still harsh, "It's fine if you don't want to help me, but why are you humiliating my mother now?"

"Why? Don't you know?" Zhong Nianyao sneered, "And you, Zhong Mengxuan, how dare you come here and say these things?"

"Let's not talk about what our relationship is like. What have you done during this period of time? Don't you have any idea?"

When she said this, she turned her head and looked at Li Yiqiu, "And you, have you forgotten what happened at Grandpa's birthday party? The scar on Lu Yichen's hand has not disappeared. I really don't know where you got the nerve to make such a request."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Li Yiqiu's face, but she had no way to refute Zhong Nianyao's words.

She gritted her teeth, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, then she stood up, walked straight to Zhong Nianyao, and then knelt down with a plop, "Nianyao, I know I did something wrong, but this has nothing to do with Mengxuan. She really likes Lu Chenran and doesn't want to lose him. We have no other requirements, we just want Mengxuan to appear in front of the Lu family with you. I promise, this is definitely the last time. From now on, no matter what happens, we will never bother you again."

Faced with Li Yiqiu's sudden kneeling, Zhong Nianyao's expression did not change, and she did not even move.

Her face was cold, "Impossible. You just want to use my influence to make Zhong Mengxuan's position more important beside Lu Chenran. But why should I help you?"

"If it is true that family members need to help each other, then I want to ask you. What have you done to help me over the years? Even if you can tell me one thing, I might consider it." Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan tried their best to recall, and their faces became paler and paler. Because they really couldn't remember anything.

In the past, they always felt that Zhong Mengxuan was a disgrace to the Zhong family. She had been chasing after an illegitimate child, bringing shame to the Zhong family. Even in front of outsiders, they never said a word to defend Zhong Nianyao.

"What, can't you remember?" Zhong Nianyao raised a sarcastic arc at the corner of her mouth, "That's because you have never done such a thing. Your so-called family is just an excuse to get benefits from me."

"Li Yiqiu, Zhong Mengxuan, no one is stupid. Before you ask others for something, you'd better think about what you have done to help them and whether you have the confidence to ask for it."

Li Yiqiu was kneeling there and Zhong Mengxuan was sitting there. Both of them looked unhappy. They opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something, but after seeing the ambiguous sarcastic arc at the corner of Zhong Nianyao's mouth, they could not say anything.

"I'm going to rest."

Zhong Nianyao said lightly and ordered them to leave.

Zhong Mengxuan was furious and pulled up Li Yiqiu who was still kneeling there. She said angrily, "If you don't want to help, then don't help. Zhong Nianyao, I will never forget the humiliation you gave me today. One day, I will pay you back for everything."

"I am waiting."

Zhong Nianyao rolled her eyes and smiled coldly, "However, Zhong Mengxuan, I still advise you to figure out who your current enemy is and whether you can defeat him. After all, the woman next to Lu Chenran was arranged by her."

"It's none of your business." Zhong Mengxuan replied, gritting her teeth.

However, Li Yiqiu, after hearing these words, grabbed Zhong Mengxuan's hand and asked, "What does this mean?"

"I'll explain it to you later."

After saying that, Zhong Mengxuan pulled Li Yiqiu out of the room.

Before leaving, she did not forget to slam the door shut to express her anger at the moment.

Looking at Zhong Mengxuan's petty behavior, Zhong Nianyao sneered twice, then walked forward to lock the door, intending to have a good rest first.

As for Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan, she didn't care about them at all.

On the other side, after leaving Zhong Mengxuan's room, Li Yiqiu also took Zhong Mengxuan back to her room. However, she did not go back to her room, but went to Zhong Mengxuan's room. Because she still had a lot of questions to ask Zhong Mengxuan, such as what exactly did she and Zhong Nianyao say just now. (End of this chapter)
