What a blast!Boss, she is slapping her face like crazy again

Chapter 495: Settlement of Accounts after Autumn
In the private room, the awkward atmosphere caused by Zhong Mengxuan's arrival lasted for a while, and then quickly disappeared.

Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhong are both men who have seen a lot of storms and waves. How could they be intimidated by a little trick like Zhong Mengxuan's!
After a brief moment of unhappiness, the two of them continued to chat and laugh, as if Zhong Mengxuan's arrival had never happened.

After seeing the performance of the two old men, the others looked at each other in pairs and then tacitly began to ignore Zhong Mengxuan's existence.

Zhong Mengxuan originally thought that although the situation was a bit awkward, at least she had sat down now, representing that the Zhong and Lu families were discussing marriage together. Lu Chenran could also recognize the fact that she was Zhong Nianyao's cousin and would not ignore her anymore.

But she never expected that in just a moment, everyone present seemed to have agreed to ignore her. Even though she was sitting there, no one even looked at her.

For a moment, she couldn't help but feel flustered in her heart. In confusion, she looked at Lu Chenran. But she found that even Lu Chenran was avoiding her gaze intentionally or unintentionally at this time, and didn't meet her gaze at all.

The two families were chatting and laughing, as if they were not affected by Zhong Mengxuan's arrival at all, and the lively atmosphere returned to normal.

Zhong Mengxuan, who had entered the room smoothly, was already fidgeting because everyone was ignoring her. Now she felt like air here.

The meal ended with everyone chatting and laughing, and the two families went back home.

This time, it was Lu Yichen who personally sent Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong home.

At the door, Lu Yichen said goodbye to Zhong Nianyao and did not go in. He knew very well that after returning to the Zhong family, Mr. Zhong still had things to deal with, and it was not appropriate for him to be there.

After Lu Yichen left, Mr. Zhong did not go in immediately, but waited at the door, because the others took another car back.

He didn't go in, so Old Madam Zhong and Zhong Nian Yao waited outside the door with him.

Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu did not go together, so they waited at home. After knowing that the old man did not come in after returning home, they were both a little surprised.

Zhong Mingyu didn't know what was going on, but he was a little confused.

Li Yiqiu, on the other hand, always had a bad feeling in his heart.

The two walked out together and saw Mr. Zhong standing at the door. His face was slightly gloomy and it was hard to tell what his mood was at the moment.

"Dad, you're back, why don't you go in?" Zhong Mingyu spoke first.

After taking a glance at Li Yiqiu, Mr. Zhong said, "Then I have to ask your good daughter what she did today."

Li Yiqiu's heart skipped a beat, and she felt particularly uneasy. Zhong Mengxuan had inserted herself halfway through, and that was her suggestion. No matter what the reason was, in such an occasion, Mr. Zhong would never drive Zhong Mengxuan away!
She expected that Mr. Zhong would be angry, but now it seems that there is more to it than just anger.

Zhong Mingyu, on the other hand, knew nothing at all. His intuition was that Zhong Mengxuan had done something again, so he quickly said, "Dad, Mengxuan did something wrong again, didn't she?"

Old Master Zhong sneered and said, "Your daughter is really cunning! Now she doesn't even take me seriously."

As they were talking, another car arrived home, but only Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling got out of the car.

Zhong Jinghao sent Lin Wanrou home and did not take the same car with them. Only Zhong Mengxuan was left in the car. Seeing that Zhong Mengxuan did not get out of the car but planned to go directly back to the villa, Mr. Zhong was not angry.

He turned his head and looked at Zhong Mingyu. "Let Zhong Mengxuan get out of the car and come in now. I have something to say. If she doesn't want to come in, then she should never enter our Zhong family's gate again. I will publish an announcement in the newspaper tomorrow to sever all ties with her."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhong Mingyu to react, he directly called Old Madam Zhong and Zhong Nian Yao into the house.

A moment later, Zhong Mengxuan followed Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu in. She kept her head down, not daring to look at Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong who were sitting in the first seat.

"Why? You had the courage to do it, so why don't you have the courage to face it now?"

There was no extra expression on Mr. Zhong's face, and his words were not even harsh. But it was this attitude that made Zhong Mengxuan shudder.

"Grandpa, I—"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhong Mengxuan didn't know what to say.

"Dad, what did Meng Xuan do?" Zhong Mingyu frowned and asked, "Also, didn't you go to meet with the Lu family to discuss the engagement? Why did Meng Xuan come back with you?"

Zhong Mingyu had no idea what Zhong Mengxuan had done, and he had no objection to his father's decision to meet with the Lu family together with the people from the first house.

Zhong Mengxuan is Lu Chenran’s lover. It would definitely be awkward if they attended such an occasion.

Therefore, he felt more relaxed without going there. Moreover, he did not want to go, because seeing such an occasion would make him even more upset. Because Zhong Nianyao was about to marry into the Lu family, while his daughter could only be a lover without a name or status.

Such a strong contrast would make him feel very uncomfortable.

Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan were afraid that Zhong Mingyu would object, so they never told Zhong Mingyu about their plans.

Until now, he still doesn't know what Zhong Mengxuan did.

"Your good daughter came uninvited to the meeting with the Lu family today." Old Master Zhong narrated calmly, "She is quite capable. She was able to appear in such an occasion without changing her expression. I'm afraid no one can match her thick skin!"

The derogatory words made Zhong Mengxuan's face turn pale. She couldn't explain it, and didn't know how to explain it.

Madam Zhong glanced at Zhong Mengxuan, then at Li Yiqiu, and continued, "I'm afraid our Zhong family can't accommodate a granddaughter with such a big heart."

After hearing these words, Zhong Mengxuan finally felt scared and couldn't help but whisper, "Grandma."

She never expected that the first person to say she wanted to give up on her would be her usually kind and amiable grandmother.

Zhong Nianyao, who was standing by, was surprised at first after hearing what Old Madam Zhong said, but then she understood a little.

She also knew in her heart that Mrs. Zhong did this partly for her, but more for the Zhong family.
