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

Chapter 498 Gossip

The Zhong family was very busy, and the Lu family was no less busy. Especially for a big family like the Lu family, the people to be invited to the banquet were all well-known figures in the Xia Kingdom, so they could not be careless.

Both families were busy with the engagement.

On the contrary, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao, who were the parties involved, were relatively free.

On this day, Lu Yichen brought Zhong Nianyao to the Lu family to discuss some matters regarding the engagement.

After arriving at the Lu family, Mrs. Lu directly said that she was not feeling well and asked the first wife Shi Shi to represent her.

Seeing that Mrs. Lu clearly disliked her, Zhong Nianyao didn't feel anything. After all, she didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Lu.

Although Shi Shi also disliked Zhong Nianyao, she was Lu Yichen's fiancée, and there was no major direct conflict of interest between them. So she felt there was no need to confront Zhong Nianyao, and so she took on the task.

Shi Shi diligently explained to Zhong Nianyao some of the engagement procedures and precautions, and also gave her the information of some important people who needed to be remembered.

Lu Yichen stayed beside Zhong Nianyao, and would say a few words whenever he wanted. Of course, he was only talking to Zhong Nianyao, and he had almost no communication with Shi Shi.

Shi Shi would not feel uncomfortable about this. On the contrary, if Lu Yichen really paid attention to her, she might feel even more uncomfortable!

She had always felt intimidated by her uncle Lu Yichen. She had felt this way before, when Lu Yichen was still a sickly person. However, she didn't know the reason at that time. But now, everything is clear.

After saying this, Shi Shi left on his own accord.

After discussing for such a long time, Zhong Nianyao naturally decided to stay for dinner.

It was not yet time for dinner, and Lu Yichen had some things to deal with. He originally wanted to take Zhong Nianyao with him, but Zhong Nianyao did not want to go with him, so she stayed behind.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhong Nianyao was playing with her mobile phone, looking quite contented.

"Can I sit down?"

I don't know how long it was before a clear voice rang out.

Zhong Nianyao put down her phone and looked up. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she still nodded, "Sit down! This is not my home. To be honest, you are more qualified than me."

The person who came was none other than Long Jiarui.

Come to think of it, this should be the first time she and Long Jiarui communicated! To be honest, it was hard to imagine what it was like for the two of them to sit together and chat.

Long Jiarui is Lu Chenran's legal wife, and she is the cousin of Lu Chenran's lover. Even if they are not opposites, they are not much better!
"Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?" It was Zhong Nian Yao who spoke.

After sitting down, Long Jiarui seemed to be observing something without leaving any trace. She naturally didn't like being studied like a guinea pig, so she spoke directly.

Suddenly hearing Zhong Nian Yao's words, Long Jiarui felt a little embarrassed as if she was caught, and then she quickly explained, "Actually, I just think you are very beautiful, so I looked at you a few more times. The lotus emerges from clear water, naturally sculpted. You are definitely the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." Hearing Long Jiarui's straightforward compliment, Zhong Nian Yao raised her eyebrows without any embarrassment.

"Thank you!" Zhong Nianyao accepted this statement very naturally, and then said with some sigh, "I am quite surprised that you would come and sit in front of me today."

"After all, it's really rare for a relationship like ours to sit down and drink tea in such a calm manner."

"Why not?" Long Jiarui asked directly, "There is no life-and-death feud between you and me, why can't we just sit down and drink tea calmly? Besides--"

"I admire you, and your character."

After hearing Long Jiarui's praise for her, Zhong Nianyao was a little surprised. However, she could see that Long Jiarui was not just perfunctory but was telling the truth.

"Thank you."

Nodding, Zhong Nianyao said, "I thought you didn't want to have too much interaction with me. After all, although we can't be said to be life-and-death enemies, our relationship is pretty awkward!"

"What's so embarrassing about that!" Long Jiarui spread her hands and said nonchalantly, "The woman Lu Chenran is having outside is not you, she's just your cousin. Let alone a cousin, even if she's your biological sister, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!"

From the look on his face, you could tell he was speaking from the heart.

"You're quite interesting." Zhong Nianyao leaned back on the sofa and spoke lazily, "But, if you don't care, do you not care about Zhong Mengxuan? Or do you not care about Lu Chenran?"

From Long Jiarui's behavior, it can be seen that she doesn't care about her husband at all. Otherwise, how could she chat and laugh with her husband's lover's cousin like this!
"I don't care."

Long Jiarui looked at Zhong Nianyao, smiled, and continued, "I'm not afraid to tell the truth. The marriage between Lu Chenran and I was originally just a business marriage. Our union can also be regarded as a union of two major families. This is inevitable. However, this does not mean that there is a deep relationship between us."

Zhong Nianyao understood, "No wonder. Lu Chenran has another lover outside. You should also know about this!"

"I know!" Long Jiarui said as if it was a matter of course. "Besides, I also know that this was all done by my good mother-in-law. However, she was not targeting me, but your cousin!"

"Yes!" Zhong Nianyao nodded. "Zhong Mengxuan is indeed very distressed about this matter, and she is desperate to seek medical help."

After saying that, she also told them about Zhong Mengxuan's unauthorized intrusion into the meeting gifts between their two families.

Just like that, the two women got together and started gossiping. They looked very excited, as if they were friends for many years.

The servants were all shocked when they saw this scene.

However, these were the master's affairs and had nothing to do with servants like them, so they could only keep them in their hearts.

After a long while, Long Jiarui couldn't help but sigh, "It's really fun to talk to you. No, maybe I should say, you are an interesting person."
