The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 296 - Chapter 296 Chapter 296 Premature Birth

Chapter 296: Chapter 296 Premature Birth Chapter 296: Chapter 296 Premature Birth Uncle Wu didn’t hide anything and straightforwardly laid out the situation.

Zhong Mengxuan had already moved out and was living with Lu Chenran, but for some reason, she returned home unexpectedly today.

As for Zhong Mengxuan’s choice, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong felt they no longer had any say in the matter, so they just let her do as she pleased. As for the people of the main house, they had even less control over Zhong Mengxuan. As for Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu, these parents were quite satisfied with their daughter’s living arrangement. Especially Zhong Mingyu, who, after Mengxuan facilitated several business deals for him, was even more content.

Seeing her daughter return today, Li Yiqiu was naturally overjoyed and took her daughter back to the room to chat.

No one knew exactly what the matter was, but later it was heard that Li Yiqiu experienced stress to her pregnancy, which led to premature labor. She was quickly rushed to the hospital in an emergency.

After hearing Uncle Wu’s account, a flicker of understanding crossed Zhong Niangyao’s eyes, and she nodded to indicate she understood.

Then, she went back to her own room, calculated a divination, and prepared to rest.

However, just after she had finished bathing and changed into her pajamas, someone began to knock violently on her door.

Hearing the persistent and loud knocking, Zhong Niangyao’s brow furrowed, but she still moved forward to open the door.

Someone knocking at this time, and in such a reckless manner that suggested they wouldn’t stop until the door was opened, was definitely not a servant coming to knock.

She was curious, who would be knocking on her door at this time?

Upon opening the door, what met her eyes was none other than Zhong Mengxuan, her face filled with urgency. The moment the door opened, her hand even remained raised in the motion of knocking.

“Zhong Mengxuan, what are you going crazy about?” Zhong Niangyao’s tone was not pleasant, “At this time, why aren’t you at the hospital instead of making a scene at my place?”

Although she had no idea what had transpired between Zhong Mengxuan and Li Yiqiu, over the years, their mother-daughter relationship was quite good. Now with Li Yiqiu having a premature birth, the situation must be quite bad. Instead of waiting at the hospital, Mengxuan had come to knock on her door frantically–what was going on!

“That’s right, the hospital–” Zhong Mengxuan stepped forward, trying to grab Zhong Niangyao’s hand, “You need to come to the hospital with me right now.”

Zhong Niangyao sidestepped, avoiding Zhong Mengxuan’s hand, “It’s late now, and I need to rest. I won’t be going to the hospital.”

“Zhong Niangyao, you must come with me today,” Zhong Mengxuan’s tone turned forceful, “My mom’s having a premature birth, and the situation is very bad. If something truly happens, you can definitely save her.”

Right now, her mom was in the hospital giving birth under critical conditions, and the doctors were going in and out with grave expressions. Moreover, the baby was late in coming and was close to being delivered via a cesarean section. But because the baby wasn’t full-term and the mother had already suffered distress to her pregnancy, which almost caused a miscarriage, both the mother and the baby in her womb were in a bad condition.

Everyone at home was blaming her, she felt remorseful. Suddenly, she recalled that when her mother had experienced distress to her pregnancy before, it was Zhong Niangyao who intervened and saved her child.

She immediately called home and, upon learning that Zhong Niangyao was already back, she rushed home without rest to take Zhong Niangyao to the hospital.

As long as Zhong Niangyao was present, both her mother and her brother should be out of danger.

Watching Mengxuan’s entitled demeanor, Zhong Niangyao let out a cold laugh, “There are plenty of doctors in the hospital, if your aunt has any problems, they will surely save her.”

“It’s late, I’m going to rest now. You should leave quickly!”

She had once saved the child in Li Yiqiu’s womb, and at that time, it was out of concern for Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong.

All along, whether it was the main house or the second branch, they had been coveting the things she possessed, and her willingness to intervene once was already more than enough.

Did she really look like some selfless Holy Mother, some white lotus who acts indiscriminately to help others, regardless of friends or foes?

Moreover, she had already calculated the divination, and Li Yiqiu’s baby would still be born successfully in the end. However, the health of the child was probably not going to be good. This was all predetermined by fate, and she could not change it.

Of course, she had no desire to tread into these troubled waters.

“Zhong Niangyao, how can you be so heartless!”

Watching Zhong Niangyao refuse to come with her to the hospital made Zhong Mengxuan frantic; she pointed to Zhong Niangyao’s nose and scolded, “My mom is lying in the hospital between life and death, and you’re here looking on indifferently, making insensitive remarks. Do you even have a shred of humanity?”

“I lack humanity?”

Zhong Niangyao was not angered at all, and even nodded in agreement, “You’re absolutely right, I don’t need humanity! Besides, before you ask me, shouldn’t you also reflect? Why don’t you ask yourself why your mom had a premature birth?”

Hearing Zhong Niangyao bring up the reason for Li Yiqiu’s premature birth, Zhong Mengxuan stiffened, but still insisted, “No matter what, you must come with me to the hospital.”

“I’m not going,” Zhong Niangyao settled herself leisurely on the sofa, then pointed towards the door, “Please be so kind as to close the door behind you when you leave.”

Looking at Zhong Niangyao’s stubborn demeanor, Zhong Mengxuan was frustrated but had no effective solution. Given her resources, she couldn’t force Zhong Niangyao to the hospital. Plus, if she resorted to force, and then Niangyao decided to do nothing once at the hospital, it would be in vain.

Biting her lip, Zhong Mengxuan lowered her head, her tone carrying a hint of pleading, “Zhong Niangyao, I’m begging you. My mom’s situation is really bad, I’m afraid something might happen to her.”

“I’m not asking you to do anything, just having you there at the hospital would be enough–you don’t have to intervene.”

“I won’t go.” Zhong Niangyao retained her calm, not even bothering to change her position, “Mengxuan, if you really have nothing better to do, then go to the hospital and wait for the latest news. Don’t bother me here. I’ve already saved that child once, and that was me doing my utmost.”

“Zhong Niangyao, that’s also your blood-related younger cousin!” Zhong Mengxuan was getting desperate, “And my mom, she’s your Second Aunt. We are all family; how can you be so cold-hearted and refuse to help your own kin in danger?”
