Because Old Master Lu had given in, Lu Yilei took a long, relieved breath, his heart finally relaxed.
If the Old Master had insisted, there really would have been nothing he could do but let Meng Rou leave. After all, no matter how important Meng Rou was to him, she could never be more important than the Lu Family.
Meng Rou herself never expected Zhong Niangyao to speak up for her. At this moment, she didn't feel the slightest bit of happiness, but instead felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.
She didn't know what Zhong Niangyao was plotting, but it was definitely not anything good. Especially considering that Zhong Niangyao still held leverage over her, she felt like she was sitting on needles. If she could choose, she would have preferred to have left earlier as it had been before.
Soon, it was time for dinner, and Old Madam Lu also made her appearance. She disliked Zhong Niangyao but didn't dare show it in front of Old Master Lu.
