The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 324 - Chapter 324 Chapter 324 Lost Soul

Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Lost Soul Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Lost Soul “Mengxuan, just how much do you know about my biological mother?” Niangyao’s tone carried a hint of coaxing, “Tell me everything you know.”

Mengxuan seemed as if her soul had left her body, her eyes lackluster, appearing like a puppet as she opened her mouth and spilled everything she knew.

“At that time, I was very young and inadvertently overheard Third Uncle using a very strange method to contact someone else. He was holding a piece of paper and started speaking to it. After that, a woman’s voice actually came from the paper. However, I was hiding quite far away and couldn’t clearly make out what Third Uncle and that person were saying. I just faintly heard Third Uncle call the person on the other side ‘wife’.”

“Later, fearing that Third Uncle might discover me, I quietly left. Not long after that, Third Uncle disappeared.”

After hearing Mengxuan’s words, a flicker of deep thought crossed Niangyao’s eyes.

What Mengxuan referred to as the paper for communication must be the Communication Talisman; this suggests that my parents must also be extraordinary beings. Because even to use a Communication Talisman, one must possess Spiritual Energy, which ordinary people do not have.

It seems that both my father’s disappearance and my mother’s identity are definitely not ordinary matters.

Niangyao’s eyes darted around as she continued to press, “What you just described, that’s all you know about clues to my biological mother, is that right?”

If it’s really just a few simple words, and Mengxuan expects her help in dealing with the child in Long Jiarui’s womb, that would be too far-fetched. She doesn’t look like a fool, does she?

However, no matter what, she would not agree to Mengxuan’s request. She couldn’t bear to harm an unborn little life; it would be too detrimental to her moral rectitude and conscience to do such a thing.

Mengxuan’s voice continued, “No, I have something that belonged to Niangyao’s biological mother. After Third Uncle disappeared, I remembered his strange behavior that day and sneaked into his room. Inside, I found something that must have belonged to Niangyao’s biological mother. I hid it.”

“Only I know about this; no one else does. Later on, because Grandfather and Grandmother were too heartbroken over Third Uncle’s disappearance, they sealed off his room. No one was allowed in except for allowing maids to clean it now and then.”

Niangyao’s gaze flickered slightly, “Where is that thing now?”

“At Mingshan Villa.” Mengxuan continued, “When I moved in with Lu Chenran, I took the thing with me.”

Having obtained all the clues she wanted, Niangyao’s eyes gleamed, her tone low and imbued with an ethereal and elusive aura, “Good, Mengxuan, you may leave now.”

Mengxuan left the room, her eyes void of life, like a marionette being led away.

It was only when the door closed behind her that Mengxuan seemed to wake from a dream. Her eyes suddenly filled with light, filled with confusion.

She clearly remembered just being in Niangyao’s room; when did she come out? Moreover, she remembered that as she was about to leave, Niangyao seemed to call her name. And then… what happened after that?

For a moment, Mengxuan felt utterly bewildered. She had the feeling that she had forgotten something but couldn’t recall what.

Turning her head to look at the closed door, she almost had the urge to push it open and demand an explanation. But then she thought of Niangyao’s cold demeanor and lost her nerve.

Nevertheless, Mengxuan quickly discarded the messy thoughts in her mind.

Niangyao had clearly refused her; she was frustrated and flustered. Without Niangyao’s help, she had no way to approach Jiarui, let alone carry out her plan.

Was she really going to sit by and watch Jiarui give birth to a child who would take Chenran’s eldest son’s place? What status would she have then?

No, she must think of another way.

Stomping her foot, Mengxuan left angrily.

At night, Lu Yichen arrived at the Zhong Family residence as agreed to pick up Niangyao.

As soon as he got in the car, he noticed something off about Niangyao.

“Is something wrong?” Lu Yichen asked directly, “Your mood seems a bit off!”

Niangyao didn’t hide anything and recounted Mengxuan’s visit to her that day.

After listening to Niangyao’s account, Lu Yichen immediately honed in on the crux, “So, are you thinking about your parents’ situation, then?”

“Yes.” Niangyao nodded, “Although Mengxuan doesn’t know much, even from the bits she does know, it’s clear they are far from ordinary. Especially my biological mother; her identity is even more of a mystery. Dad would always contact her in private, avoiding others. For this reason, no one in the Zhong Family knows who my biological mother is.”

“I think his disappearance is very likely related to my biological mother.”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yichen said, “I can have the special department look into it, but it’s been a long time, and I’m afraid not much can be found.”

“I know.” Niangyao shook her head, “I’ve tried using my blood for tracking, but it was useless. Of course, I’ve also tried divination, but because of the blood relation, I can’t calculate anything. I only know that my biological parents are still alive.”

Lu Yichen reached out, took Niangyao’s hand, and spoke earnestly, “I will help you find them.”

Seeing Lu Yichen’s serious demeanor, Niangyao couldn’t help but smile, “You don’t have to worry so much; my mentioning it today was simply due to what Mengxuan said.”

She couldn’t quite explain the feeling, nor did she know if it was because her soul had already bonded with this body. When she thought of her original self’s biological parents, she felt a faint yearning.

She didn’t know if it was because she had never felt her biological parents’ love before or if it was due to the lingering thought of the original self.

However, deep down, she wasn’t overly fixated on finding her original self’s biological parents. Of course, if possible, she still hoped to find them, if only for the sake of Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong.
