The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 308 - Chapter 308 Chapter 308 Talking Back

Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Talking Back Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Talking Back “At this point, you’re still here shirking responsibility.” Old Sir Zhong’s gaze became sharp, and when he looked at Zhong Mengxuan, his presence was completely commanding, “Recently, your mother’s health has been very stable, with the doctor coming to check every day, and there have been no signs of preterm labor at all.”

“What does that have to do with me?”

When facing the commanding presence of Old Sir Zhong, Zhong Mengxuan appeared much weaker and was not as casual as before, but she still choked up and insisted on her statement, “My mom’s premature labor has nothing to do with me.”

“Mengxuan, the situation has reached this point, and you’re still hiding the truth.” Old Madam Zhong slammed the arm of the sofa forcefully, her face clearly showing disappointment, “Do you even realize what you’ve done? You almost killed your mother and your younger brother.”

“I didn’t.” Zhong Mengxuan consistently stuck to her statement, “Grandpa, Grandma, if you don’t believe me, just go ask my mom! As the person involved, she would be more credible, wouldn’t she?”

“You’re banking on the fact that no matter what, your mom would definitely cover for you, aren’t you?” Old Sir Zhong’s tone grew even more disappointed, “Zhong Mengxuan, look at what you’ve become? Becoming someone else’s mistress, causing your own mother to deliver prematurely, every single one of these things, which one is commendable?”

“Grandpa, I don’t feel bad about myself at all right now.” Zhong Mengxuan’s lips curved into a smile as she spoke, “Whether it’s Zhong Mengfan or Zhong Niangyao, neither of them have better days than me. Even though I don’t have a formal status with Lu Chenran right now, what difference is there between me and his wife?”

“Now, everyone outside knows I am Lu Chenran’s woman, and no matter who it is, they show me some respect. This is something I never achieved as the Second Lady of the Zhong Family.”

“You… you…” Old Sir Zhong was so angry he could barely speak.

Next to him, Zhong Niangyao and Old Madam Zhong immediately came forward to smooth Old Sir Zhong’s back, calming his agitated emotions.

“Zhong Mengxuan, shut up,” Zhong Mingyu quickly interjected in a low voice, “Look at what you’ve done to your grandfather. If something happens to your grandfather because of you, can you live with yourself?”

Despite feeling unconvinced, Zhong Mengxuan didn’t say anything else.

Beside her, Zhong Minghao shook his head, looked towards Zhong Mingyu, and then spoke, “Second brother, it seems you still need to discipline Mengxuan properly! She’s not that old yet, but her temper is not small, she even starts talking back to dad. If this continues, how can it go on?”

“Second brother, your big brother says this for your own good.” Zheng Silin also took the opportunity to speak, “Mengxuan is so bold now because she’s climbed up to Lu Chenran. I’m afraid even bolder actions are yet to come!”

The couple’s comments one after another made Zhong Mingyu’s face look increasingly unpleasant, and he couldn’t help but retort, “Big brother, sister-in-law, if you have time, better take care of your own daughter! If you calculate the time, Mengfan’s days are also not few.”

“Mengfan’s child is also born, you should pay more attention to her! As for Mengxuan, Yiqiu and I will discipline her properly. Although there’s no official status right now, the person standing by her side is not some nobody, but the eldest young master of the Lu Family.”

Suddenly, the faces of Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin turned very unpleasant. However, before they could retort, they were reprimanded by Old Sir.

“You all shut up.” Old Sir Zhong spoke sternly, “I gathered you here today not to let you two brothers squabble. With such good eloquence, why haven’t you brought more business to the company, huh?”

“All day long just fighting with your own brothers as if in a life-and-death struggle, do you even remember that I, as your father, exist? If you keep this up, then just get out of here.”

His severe words caused Zhong Minghao and Zhong Mingyu, who were both nearly fifty, to instantly quiet down, and like children who had done something wrong, they lowered their heads and dared not say anything else.

Old Sir Zhong’s gaze once again landed on Zhong Mengxuan, “Zhong Mengxuan, today I gave you a chance to speak, for if you insist on hiding it, then this family is probably no place for you anymore.”

“Grandpa!” Zhong Mengxuan stared with disbelief, “Are you trying to drive me out? Why?”

“Because I am not dead yet, because I am still the head of the Zhong Family.” Old Sir Zhong’s sharp gaze fell on Zhong Mengxuan, “The trouble your mother caused was caused by you; that is indisputable. Even if you quibble here, it won’t change this incontrovertible fact.”

“Grandpa, what proof do you have that I did it?” Zhong Mengxuan was very defiant, “You’re just forcing me to admit to something totally fabricated.”

“This isn’t the Public Security Bureau, I don’t need proof to convict you.” Old Sir Zhong’s expression grew colder, “Today, you better be honest about what you said that made your mother give birth to your younger brother under such dangerous circumstances. Do you not realize, you’ve endangered your mother and brother?”

Zhong Mengxuan still refused to admit it, but before she could speak, Old Madam Zhong interrupted her.

“Now that things have reached this stage, continuing to hide it won’t benefit you at all.” Old Madam Zhong looked at Zhong Mengxuan, her expression serious as she spoke, “I know that you’re now with Lu Chenran, but these have nothing to do with us. We never hoped to climb up to the Lu Family, nor did we ever expect you to bring much profit to the family business.”

“If you really think that you only need Lu Chenran by your side and no other relatives or friends, then continue to deny it. But from now on, the Zhong Family will no longer have a place for you, and you will no longer be our granddaughter.”

Hearing Old Madam Zhong’s words, Zhong Mengxuan knew that this time it was serious. She didn’t dare to gamble, but she also didn’t dare to reveal those words from before. Because she was well aware that if she said those words, her grandparents and father would be furious.

“Dad, maybe we should just let this go!” Zhong Mingyu said, somewhat reluctantly.,

After all, she was his own daughter, and though there were doubts, seeing Zhong Mengxuan’s look, he also didn’t have the heart to push too hard, so he spoke up to stop it.
