The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 497 - Chapter 497 Chapter 497 Busy

Chapter 497: Chapter 497 Busy Chapter 497: Chapter 497 Busy Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, after all, were advanced in years, and after an entire evening, they were very tired. After handling the matters with Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan, the couple returned to their room to rest.

Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin, having watched such a drama unfold, also returned to their own rooms.

Soon, the living room was left with only Zhong Mengxuan’s family of three and Zhong Niangyao.

Zhong Mingyu sat on the sofa, his face filled with dejection.

He had not expected that his wife and daughter, behind his back, would do such a thing. Now that both were driven out, there was nothing he could do.

Despair was written all over Li Yiqiu’s face; she had not expected such a resolution. Not only did she have to leave this home, but her daughter was also forbidden to return. For a moment, she did not know whether the solution she came up with was right or wrong.

Zhong Niangyao was no longer interested in watching this family of three lost in despair; she stood up, intending to return to her room.

However, just as she got up, she was stopped.

“Nianyao!”

Following the voice, Zhong Niangyao looked at Li Yiqiu and, even before the other could continue, she had already spoken first, “No way, impossible, I do not agree.”

Three consecutive nos turned Li Yiqiu’s whole complexion exceptionally grim, “You don’t even know what I want to say, why are you so quick to refuse?”

“Because I’m very clear about your shameless nature!” Zhong Niangyao shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently, “Such things have happened too many times. You, right now, just want me to plead with grandma and grandpa on your behalf so you don’t have to move out and so Zhong Mengxuan can continue to come back to the Zhong Family.”

“And I’m telling you honestly, such a request, I absolutely cannot agree to.”

Before she could speak, her hopes were suffocated in their cradle; Li Yiqiu’s face turned deathly pale, “Nianyao, why must you be so utterly ruthless?”

“Don’t push that kind of label on me.” Zhong Niangyao shook her head and snorted coldly, “The reason you ended up like this is all due to your own doing. I think I’m already being quite generous.”

“The last time, when you tried to take my ‘Heart Blood’, and this time, causing trouble at my and Lu Yichen’s meeting ceremony, you should have anticipated what kind of end would await you. All of this is a result of your own actions, you can’t blame anyone else.”

Li Yiqiu looked utterly hopeless and did not say anything further.

Meanwhile, Zhong Mengxuan also snapped back to reality, intending to say something. But Zhong Niangyao’s words had already instilled endless fear in her heart.

“Zhong Mengxuan, today you actually showed some intelligence, coming uninvited, knowing that we wouldn’t do anything to you on such a good day, allowing you to use my status to cement your position in front of Lu Chenran, right?”

Zhong Niangyao’s gaze fell on Zhong Mengxuan, “Unfortunately, you’re sharp, but others aren’t fools; my status isn’t so easily exploited.”

“I will have Lu Yichen find time to inform Lu Chenran that my relationship with you isn’t that good, so I absolutely won’t get involved between you two, ensuring he doesn’t have to treat you well on my account.”

“Zhong Niangyao, you dare!” Zhong Mengxuan’s voice rose several decibels, filling with panic.

Although her expression appeared somewhat arrogant, the panic deep in her eyes was unmistakably evident.

Tonight, she had finally managed to stand firm in front of Lu Chenran by riding on Zhong Niangyao’s coattails. If Zhong Niangyao now went to Lu Chenran, then everything she had done would have been in vain.

She had already paid such a huge price for tonight’s event. Yet now, she was being told that her actions today had brought her no benefits at all.

How could she possibly accept that!

“See if I dare.” Zhong Niangyao stared straight at Zhong Mengxuan, a cold smile playing on her lips, “You want to exploit my influence, but it still depends on whether I agree.”

“Zhong Niangyao, you really are too cruel.” Zhong Mengxuan gritted her teeth with hatred, “You did all this just to take your revenge on me, didn’t you? You want to drive me to death, don’t you?”

“If you really can’t think straight, then that’s your own problem, not mine.” Zhong Niangyao spoke indifferently, “Your own psychological resilience being too low has nothing to do with me.”

For a time, Zhong Mengxuan was so angry she was left speechless.

Zhong Niangyao ignored the family of three and got up to head back to her room for rest.

As for the family of three left behind, their situation was completely outside her concern.

Zhong Mingyu’s family condition was something Zhong Niangyao knew nothing about. However, when she woke up the next day, Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan were already gone.

As for Zhong Mingyu, every time he saw her, his face was filled with hesitation, seemingly having something he wanted to say, but finding himself unable to speak.

Zhong Niangyao completely disregarded this.

Although she didn’t know what Zhong Mingyu intended to say, she always felt it had an inextricable connection with Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan.

She had no desire to provoke such trouble.

With half a month left before the engagement banquet, time was indeed tight.

The day after the meeting ceremony, the Zhong Family had already started the fervent preparations for Zhong Niangyao’s engagement.

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong got busy immediately, and Zheng Silin was not idle either, getting up early each day to join the old lady in the hustle.

Booking the hotel, selecting jewelry, scheduling appointments to tailor the dresses, and a myriad of other tasks all converged, leaving Old Madam Zhong and Zheng Silin nearly exhausted, almost not touching the ground due to their busyness.

However, despite the hectic schedule, both were still happy. Old Madam Zhong goes without saying, but even Zheng Silin was very pleased. After all, Zhong Niangyao’s engagement to Lu Yichen was a great joy for the Zhong Family. In the future, the Zhong Family and the Lu Family would be connected, which would definitely bring immense benefits to them.

As for Zhong Niangyao, the person involved, she appeared very relaxed.

After all, she had never experienced an engagement, so she had no experience in such matters. Hence, it was best to leave such professional tasks to the professionals! Even though she was a concerned party, it was still better not to meddle too much.
