Chapter 323: Chapter 323 Clues Chapter 323: Chapter 323 Clues “Zhong Niangyao, why do you refuse so quickly?”

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s refusal, Zhong Mengxuan did not show any signs of anger or impatience; instead, she appeared to have a fully prepared plan, “Why not listen to what kind of reward I can offer you before making a decision?”

“No matter what kind of reward it is, I will not agree.” Zhong Niangyao spoke directly, “Your feud with Long Jiarui has nothing to do with me. I won’t get involved, let alone help you terminate an unborn child. I absolutely refuse to do such a morally corrupt thing.”

However, she was still somewhat curious–what unknown chips did Zhong Mengxuan hold? Why was she so certain that Zhong Niangyao would agree to such an outrageous proposal in exchange for that supposed reward!

“If you knew what I hold in my hand, you wouldn’t refuse so quickly.” Zhong Mengxuan looked at Zhong Niangyao and spoke deliberately, “In my hand, I have clues to your birth mother.”

Upon hearing this, a sudden change overtook the atmosphere in the room, and Zhong Niangyao’s previously relaxed demeanor shifted abruptly. She now sat upright in her chair, a sharp gaze fixed on Zhong Mengxuan, exuding an undeniable presence, “Zhong Mengxuan, what exactly do you know?”

Within the entire Zhong Family, no one knew who her birth mother was. Even after probing Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, she came up empty. And now, Zhong Mengxuan claimed to have clues to her birth mother, which left her shocked and a bit skeptical.

Confronted with the abruptly changed Zhong Niangyao, Zhong Mengxuan felt a pressure that made her feel she couldn’t act up in front of Zhong Niangyao. But she quickly tried to regain her composure–after all, she was the one in the advantageous position, so there was no need for panic or concern about Zhong Niangyao’s posturing.

“Zhong Niangyao, I told you, the chip I hold is definitely of interest to you. Should you agree to help me this time, then I will tell you everything I know.”

Having said that, she looked at Zhong Niangyao triumphantly, awaiting her response.

In her eyes, victory was all but assured. Anyone in search of their birth mother would harbor a hint of longing, especially someone like Zhong Niangyao, who didn’t even know her birth mother’s identity, would be desperate to find out.

She couldn’t believe that Zhong Niangyao could remain indifferent in the face of such significant information.

Amidst Zhong Mengxuan’s expectant gaze, Zhong Niangyao’s cool voice sounded, “No, I still refuse.”

“What?” Zhong Mengxuan could hardly believe her ears, “Did you hear clearly what I just said? I have clues about your birth mother. In fact, I dare say, within the entire Zhong Family, no one else knows but me.”

“So what?” Zhong Niangyao retorted coldly, “Just because of your so-called clues, am I supposed to harm an unborn child? Moreover, Zhong Mengxuan, you are truly selfish! When you asked me to do this, you never considered how I would extricate myself afterward, or how the Lu Family would deal with me.”

“All you think about is yourself. How could I possibly trust someone as selfish as you?”

“If you’re careful enough, you absolutely won’t be discovered,” Zhong Mengxuan hastily said. “I’m not asking you to push her or anything. Just put a little something in her food to induce a miscarriage, isn’t that an easy task for you?”

“Besides, what do you have to worry about? The Lu Family won’t suspect you. You have no grievances with Long Jiarui, they will never suspect you.”

“Are you or am I the fool, Zhong Mengxuan!” Zhong Niangyao scoffed, “Do you not understand what kind of people the Lu Family are? Do you really think they can’t trace the connection between you and me? What makes you think I would risk so much for you, based on those vague so-called clues?”

“I’m not lying to you, I really have clues about your birth mother,” Zhong Mengxuan hurriedly said. “If you refuse me this time, then you’ll never know who your birth mother is in this lifetime.”

“Heh, Zhong Mengxuan, do you really think I’m a fool?” Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but laugh, “You’ve said it yourself, you only have clues about my mother, not knowledge of who she is. How can you assume your chip would sway me?”

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Zhong Mengxuan was thrown into anxiety, “Zhong Niangyao, don’t you wonder who your mother really is?”

“I’m not curious,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head, her stern face relaxing, “What’s fated will eventually come, no use forcing what’s not meant to be. If my mother and I have no karmic connection, then there’s no need to force it. Besides–”

She looked up at Zhong Mengxuan, speaking with profound implications, “I think my birth mother would also not want me to hurt others just to find out clues about her.”

At a loss for words, Zhong Mengxuan felt unwilling to just leave like this. Losing this opportunity might mean never having another chance to get close to Long Jiarui.

“I need to rest now,” Zhong Niangyao delivered the clear dismissal, “So, please leave.”

“You–” Zhong Mengxuan was frantic.

“Don’t bother me again,” Zhong Niangyao said indifferently, “Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to let the Lu Family know about your plans.”

These words struck fear into the previously undeterred Zhong Mengxuan, “Zhong Niangyao, you can’t–”

“I can!” Zhong Niangyao cut her off, “Would you like to try me?”

Zhong Mengxuan, frightened, bit her lip and turned to leave.

“Zhong Mengxuan.”

Just as she was about to exit, Zhong Mengxuan suddenly heard Zhong Niangyao’s voice from behind. Turning around impatiently, she said, “You–”

Before she could finish speaking, Zhong Mengxuan’s eyes began to blur, and her consciousness started to cloud.

Watching Zhong Mengxuan, who had now fallen into a daze, Zhong Niangyao got up and approached her.
