Zhong Mengxuan's gaze moved back and forth between Zhong Nianyao and Li Yiqiu, the cold hatred in her eyes was particularly obvious, "Neither of you are good people. You came here today just to laugh at me! Seeing me in such a miserable state, you are laughing in your hearts right now, right?"

"You think too highly of yourself." Zhong Nianyao spread her hands and said indifferently, "Who do you think you are? What ability do you have that would make me waste my time coming here to laugh at you?"

"As for the choice, that was made by your mother, so don't put the blame on me!"

Li Yiqiu's body suddenly stiffened, and then he looked up and saw Zhong Mengxuan's hateful eyes, "Mengxuan, it's not like that, I didn't, it's just... just..."

"It's just that in your heart, sons are always more important than daughters, right?" Zhong Mengxuan's cold voice sounded, "So you chose to sacrifice me, and let me stay in this hellhole for who knows how long, right?"

Li Yiqiu didn't know how to answer the question. She could only cover her mouth and cry.

Seeing Li Yiqiu's tears, Zhong Mengxuan's emotions did not fluctuate at all. Instead, she said indifferently, "I'm not dead yet! There is no need for you to shed these crocodile tears here. Do you think anyone here will feel sad because of your tears?"

These words made Li Yiqiu feel like she didn't know whether to cry or not. She could only cover her face and quickly ran out of the reception room.

She didn't know what she was feeling at the moment, but she couldn't face Zhong Mengxuan at all, so she could only run away.

Watching Li Yiqiu leave, Zhong Mengxuan did not try to keep her, and there was a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Soon, her eyes fell on Zhong Nianyao again, "The good show is over, you're not going to leave yet? Or do you want to continue to laugh at my joke here?"

"I have no interest in your jokes." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "I've said it from the beginning. I'm just here to make sure some people fulfill their promises."

"Zhong Nianyao, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" Zhong Mengxuan looked at Zhong Nianyao, with resentment and anger coexisting in her eyes, "From the beginning, you had no intention of letting me go. You gave them a choice, but you were just forcing them to give up. You want to stab me in the heart again, right?"

"Then you have wronged me." Zhong Nianyao felt that she was still somewhat innocent. "Indeed, from the beginning, I had no intention of letting you go. After all, no one can be magnanimous enough to let go of someone who wants to kill them. However, giving them a choice has nothing to do with you. It's just because Li Yiqiu touched my bottom line, so I just want to watch her make a choice."

"However, if this can stab another knife in your heart, it will be a pleasant surprise to me!"

Listening to Zhong Nianyao's self-evident words, Zhong Mengxuan was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, "Zhong Nianyao, you are really despicable. I wonder if Mr. Lu will still like you if he knows your true face!"

"Haha, don't bother with that." Zhong Nianyao shook her head and said, "I'm different from you. I will never hide my true self just to please a man. If he really loves me, then he must love the real me. Otherwise, no matter how outstanding a man is, I won't want him."

"Impossible," Zhong Mengxuan couldn't help but take two steps back, "If Mr. Lu knew you were such a vicious woman, how could he still like you?" "Why not?" Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said with a smile, "He is not a pushover! Besides, I never think I am vicious. Everything I am doing now is just a counterattack. Didn't you want to deal with me in the beginning?"

"Just because I wasn't killed by you doesn't mean I'm cruel!"

"You——" Zhong Mengxuan bit her lip, her eyes full of unwillingness.

She never thought that she was any worse than Zhong Nianyao. In fact, she felt that she was many times better than Zhong Nianyao.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been the child of other people's families. She is excellent in both character and academic performance, outstanding in talent and appearance, and she is the dream lover of countless people.

On the other hand, Zhong Nianyao lost both her parents when she was young. She has beautiful appearance but is a fool with an empty head. If she hadn't had the Zhong family as a backer behind her, her life would have been miserable.

Later, she even chased after Li Jingming without any reserve, becoming a laughing stock to many people.

However, now Zhong Nianyao and Mr. Lu San have held an engagement party that has shocked the entire imperial capital, and she is about to marry into the Lu family, the first family in the imperial capital. However, she has always been only worthy of being Lu Chenran's lover, and now she has become a prisoner.

God is so unfair. Why does he treat her like this?

"Are you unwilling to accept this?" Zhong Nianyao directly exposed Zhong Mengxuan's little thoughts, "You think that you should be high and mighty, and I am only worthy of crawling at your feet, right?"

"It's a pity that all this is just your feeling. Zhong Mengxuan, you should have had a very good life, smooth and bright. But now you have ruined it all yourself."

"My life was ruined by you." Zhong Mengxuan stared at Zhong Nianyao closely and said with gritted teeth, "If it weren't for you, I would still be living a comfortable life with fine clothes and delicious food."

"If you weren't stingy and didn't let me attend the engagement party, none of this would have happened. Zhong Nianyao, you ruined me, and I will never forgive you."

"Zhong Mengxuan, don't think too highly of yourself." Zhong Nianyao just found it funny. "Do you think I need something like this? Even now, you still think so. It seems that you deserve your imprisonment!"

"Hmph, Zhong Nianyao, if I'm not doing well, then neither should you." Zhong Mengxuan sneered and said, "I am indeed trapped here. But outside, there are many people who want to kill you. Even if I don't take action, there will be people who will deal with you. I want to see how strong your life is and how long you can hold on."

"Oh, are you talking about the person who instigated you?" Zhong Nianyao blinked and said with a smile, "If you are counting on her to get rid of me and help you get revenge, then I advise you not to have such unrealistic thoughts. You are in this situation, do you think I will let the person behind it go?" (End of this chapter)
