Chapter 559 Begging for mercy
The engagement party of Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen ended perfectly. Almost the entire upper class of the imperial capital already knew the fact that the Zhong and Lu families were about to get married.

As soon as the news spread, the stock price of the Zhong family's company began to rise to the daily limit as soon as the market opened.

Originally this was good news, but what happened to Zhong Mengxuan seemed to cast a shadow over the Zhong family, and no one could be truly happy.

However, Zhong Nianyao, one of the parties involved, seemed to be not affected at all and still lived the same life as before.

If anything, she was starting to get ready to go out.

Everyone thought that she was going on a honeymoon trip with Lu Yichen. Only Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong knew that they were going out to find Zhong Mingxin.

Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mingyu naturally also heard the news that Zhong Nianyao was going out, and both of them were a little anxious.

They didn't know how long Zhong Nianyao would be away this time. However, Zhong Mengxuan's matter was still at a critical stage. If Zhong Nianyao really went out, when she came back, maybe everything had been decided. Then Zhong Mengxuan would be imprisoned.

Finally, after discussing it, they went to find Zhong Nian Yao.

In the garden, Zhong Nianyao was half lying on a lounge chair, holding a book in her hand and reading leisurely.

This was the scene that Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu saw when they arrived. For a moment, they felt a little complicated.

These days, they have been running around for Zhong Mengxuan. And Zhong Mengxuan is also very haggard in the Public Security Bureau. Their family is in a difficult situation.

On the other hand, Zhong Nianyao, despite having so many things happen, still lives her life leisurely and comfortably, like a person with nothing to worry about.

Intellectually, they knew that Zhong Nianyao was not to blame for this matter. But emotionally, they still felt a little resentful towards Zhong Nianyao. After all, they were a family, but Zhong Nianyao had to make things so serious.

They had already planned what to say before coming here. However, now seeing Zhong Nianyao was completely unaffected, they were unable to utter a single word.

Zhong Nianyao naturally noticed the presence of Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu, but since the other party did not speak, she naturally would not speak first.

After a long while, Zhong Mingyu took a deep breath and spoke, "Nian Yao, we——"

"If you have anything to say, please sit down and talk first!"

Zhong Nianyao pointed to the stone bench opposite her and said, "I'm not used to looking up at others when they talk."

Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu did not refuse and sat down quickly.

After the couple looked at each other, Zhong Mingyu spoke up, "Nian Yao, I think you should know the purpose of our visit today."

"Yeah." Zhong Nianyao nodded and did not deny it. She just said, "I know what you want to say. I can give you an answer right now, which is that it is impossible."

She didn't need to guess, she knew that Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu came to her house to plead for Zhong Mengxuan. But she would never agree to this. Zhong Mengxuan had done many things to provoke her, but she didn't take them to heart. But now it was different. This time, Zhong Mengxuan wanted to kill her. She couldn't just let it go.

"Nianyao, no matter what, you both have the surname Zhong." Li Yiqiu at the side said quickly, "Can't you let Mengxuan go this time? She was just confused for a moment and didn't really intend to take your life."

Zhong Nianyao raised her head and looked at Li Yiqiu with a half-smile, then said, "Like what you did before? It's just that you were lucky. You saved Third Uncle. Even for grandpa and grandma, I can't continue to do anything."

She has not forgotten that Li Yiqiu wanted to take her heart's blood.

Because of this incident, Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mingyu almost got divorced. It was only because of a car accident that the two are still husband and wife.

She still remembered this incident. She really didn't understand why Li Yiqiu had the nerve to come to her house to beg for mercy.

Zhong Nianyao's words made Li Yiqiu suddenly feel awkward. For a moment, she was speechless.

Thinking about it now, she didn't know why she was so crazy and did such a thing, even hurting Lu Yichen.

"Nianyao, Mengxuan really didn't mean it." After thinking for a while, Zhong Mingyu said, "I know that this time it was Mengxuan's fault, and we will not shirk our responsibility. As long as you are willing to let Mengxuan go, we will make corresponding compensation to you."

At this point, Zhong Mingyu gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you are willing to let Meng Xuan go this time, I can transfer 5% of the company's shares to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yiqiu beside him turned his head suddenly, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Before they came to see Zhong Nianyao, they had already agreed that the maximum they could give was only 3% of the shares.

But now Zhong Mingyu suddenly changed his mind, which made her a little confused for a while. However, in such an occasion, she would not say anything to spoil the show.

Moreover, after all, Zhong Mengxuan is also their child, so it is understandable to make some sacrifices for the child.

Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows, still somewhat surprised by Zhong Mingyu's generosity. She had originally thought that according to Zhong Mingyu's personality, 3% was too much.

After all, the shares they hold are not that many. However——

Zhong Nianyao shook her head and continued, "Everyone must be responsible for what they have done, and Zhong Mengxuan is no exception. You can keep the shares, but Zhong Mengxuan must accept the punishment she deserves. This is non-negotiable."

"Nian Yao, please let Meng Xuan go this time!" Li Yi Qiu was anxious, "She is still young. If she really goes to jail and has a criminal record, what will you let her do in the future?"

"If you think 5% of the shares is not enough, then what else do you want? As long as you tell us, we will do our best to host. We only ask that you let Meng Xuan go."

"I don't want anything." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "I've made it very clear. There is no turning back for Zhong Mengxuan. Instead of worrying about Zhong Mengxuan, you should pay more attention to your youngest son. He should be your hope for the future!"
