Chapter 555 fig leaf

"What on earth happened?" After looking at Zhong Mengxuan coldly, Mr. Zhong asked, "Also, why are you here today?"

After these words were spoken, the other people in the Lu family were a little confused as to why Mr. Zhong would ask such a question.

Today is Zhong Nianyao's engagement party. As Zhong Mengxuan's cousin, isn't it normal for her to attend such an event? Why does it sound like it's abnormal for Zhong Mengxuan to come here?

Zhong Mengxuan's eyes were a little evasive, and now her only thought was to leave here as soon as possible. She had a very bad premonition that if she continued to stay here, the consequences might be something she couldn't bear.

Li Yiqiu wanted to say something for Zhong Mengxuan, but when she saw Mr. Zhong's gloomy expression and Mrs. Zhong's silence, she couldn't say anything.

Her position in the Zhong family was now in jeopardy. She couldn't even protect herself, so how could she plead for Zhong Mengxuan?

Moreover, from beginning to end, she didn't even know what Zhong Mengxuan had done.

Zhong Mengxuan hesitated, not knowing how to answer. She knew in her heart that if she really told others about what she had done, it would be a disaster.

"Speak!" Mr. Zhong's voice sounded again, and his tone was even heavier, "Don't try to get away with it."

Faced with the majesty of Mr. Zhong, Zhong Mengxuan was afraid and dared not tell anyone what she had done.

Lu Chenran was no fool, so he naturally realized that something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly spoke, "Grandpa Zhong, may I ask you a question, isn't Mengxuan your granddaughter? How did you--"

Mr. Zhong’s attitude is too weird, and so are the other members of the Zhong family. They don’t treat Zhong Mengxuan like their own family at all.

Other people from the Lu family also noticed this strange atmosphere.

"Young Master Lu." Old Master Zhong spoke directly, "Although it has not been officially announced, Zhong Mengxuan has almost nothing to do with our Zhong family anymore. I have already made it clear that she is not needed to attend the engagement party this time. However, she still ignored me today and came here on her own."

"Grandpa!" Zhong Mengxuan exclaimed and looked at Grandpa Zhong in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that Grandpa Zhong would just say these things out loud under such circumstances.

She could feel Lu Chenran's gaze on her, but she didn't dare to look back. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: it was over!
All along, she has been trying her best to conceal the fact that her relationship with the Zhong family has deteriorated, because she doesn't want the people of the Lu family, or to be more precise, Lu Chenran, to know.

But now, everything she had painstakingly concealed was exposed. She didn't even need to look to know what Lu Chenran's expression was at that moment. She couldn't even imagine how she would stand in front of Lu Chenran after today.

Mr. Zhong didn't even look at Zhong Mengxuan, and continued, "The relationship between Mengxuan and Yaoyao has never been very good, so in order not to affect Yaoyao's mood, we don't plan to let Zhong Mengxuan attend the engagement party today."

"I just don't know why she would show up today."

These words directly revealed Zhong Mengxuan's situation in the Zhong family and also shattered the peace she had been whitewashing for so long.

Zhong Mengxuan lowered her head, clenched her teeth, and clenched her fists to control her emotions that were about to collapse.

"She came here today because she wanted to kill me." At this time, Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "She probably thought that I couldn't possibly attend the engagement party. That's why she dared to show up so brazenly!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. Everyone's eyes fell on Zhong Mengxuan, with disbelief in their eyes.

However, seeing that there was no joking expression on Zhong Nianyao's face, even though he couldn't believe it, he felt that it seemed to be true.

Zhong Mengxuan suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes filled with shock, disbelief, and deep hatred.

She had never expected that Zhong Nianyao would speak the truth so bluntly, without any concealment, as if she was simply stating a fact.

But just these few simple sentences directly convicted her.

"Zhong Mengxuan, how dare you do such a thing." Old Master Zhong was so angry that he covered his chest, as if he would collapse in the next second.

When Madam Zhong looked at Zhong Mengxuan, her eyes were full of blame and disappointment. "Mengxuan, I didn't expect you to become what you are now. You really disappoint us."

When the other people in the Zhong family looked at Zhong Mengxuan, there was also a hint of inexplicable complexity in their expressions.

As for the people of the Lu family, they never expressed their opinions. After all, this was an internal matter of the Zhong family, and even if they were relatives, there were some things that they should not interfere with.

However, from their expressions, it can be seen that they despise Zhong Mengxuan.

"I didn't, she's lying." Zhong Mengxuan spoke subconsciously, "I admit that I sneaked into the engagement party, but I didn't mean to harm Zhong Nianyao, let alone kill her."

"All of this is just nonsense. She was unhappy because I came to the engagement party, so she wanted to frame me like this."

"Frame-up?" Zhong Nianyao sneered and said, "Zhong Mengxuan, I think you forgot that there is a surveillance video in this lounge."

Just when everyone thought that Zhong Mengxuan would be scared, unexpectedly, she was not worried at all, and even said openly, "Then let's check the surveillance video, and it can also clear my name."

Seeing Zhong Mengxuan's frank appearance, everyone present couldn't help but start to doubt. Could it be that what Zhong Nianyao just said was false? Otherwise, why wasn't Zhong Mengxuan afraid at all? She didn't look like she was afraid of being accused.

Could it be that they had wronged Zhong Mengxuan from the beginning to the end?

Zhong Nianyao looked at Zhong Mengxuan, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She looked up at Zhong Mengxuan, and she saw a hint of pride in her unintentional expression.

A flash of understanding came into my mind.

It seems that after she got into trouble, Zhong Mengxuan took advantage of the situation and did something. The most likely possibility is that she deleted the video.
