Upon hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Lu Yichen's face showed no change, and he had no intention of speaking out. He seemed determined to be a bystander.
Zhong Nianyao simply shrugged her shoulders and said nothing.
On such an occasion today, anything she said would have been inappropriate. Besides, she and Lu Yilei had no connection, and the only reason she was sitting here now was due to an invitation from Old Master Lu.
As an invited guest, it would be inappropriate to criticize another guest, thus becoming a laughingstock.
Although Zhong Nianyao said nothing, Meng Rou was extremely nervous, fearing that Zhong Nianyao might expose her past in front of so many people.
Lu Yilei also noticed Meng Rou's unusual emotions and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing." Meng Rou forced a smile, "I might just be a bit nervous!"
Hearing Meng Rou's words, Lu Yilei found nothing strange about them.
