The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 337 - Chapter 337 Chapter 337 Warning

Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Warning Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Warning Facing Zhong Niangyao mentioning Old Madam Lu, Lu Yichen’s expression did not change, showing an indifferent demeanor as if he completely disregarded Old Madam Lu.

Zhong Niangyao’s eyes spun, and she curiously asked, “Lu Yichen, I’ve noticed that you always seem very indifferent when you talk about Old Madam Lu! Is there something between you and her–”

Although she didn’t finish her sentence, the questioning tone was evident. No son would be so indifferent when mentioning his own mother, unless, of course, that mother had done something absolutely unforgivable.

“Just as you think,” Lu Yichen directly admitted, “I have no blood relationship with Old Madam Lu.”

Zhong Niangyao felt as though she had stumbled upon a huge revelation. She blinked her big eyes, somewhat shocked, “Then, you and Old Master Lu–”

“Also have no blood relationship,” Lu Yichen replied indifferently, “I have no blood relationship with the entire Lu Family.”

“That really is quite surprising.” Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help feeling it was strange, “I see that Old Master Lu is really good to you, just like a real son.”

So, she almost thought that Lu Yichen was Old Master Lu’s biological son. Turns out, it was all just adoption!

“Really?” Lu Yichen’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “That’s just what he believes is good, merely consoling himself.”

Zhong Niangyao had wanted to keep asking, but the car had already stopped at the Zhong Family’s gate.

It was already very late, and Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong were still waiting at home, so Zhong Niangyao did not continue her inquiries and said goodbye to Lu Yichen before hurrying inside.

Upon entering, Zhong Niangyao saw Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong still waiting there.

Not just them, but also Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin, were waiting there as well. They all wore smiles, which became genuinely warmer the moment they saw Zhong Niangyao.

“Grandfather, Grandmother, why haven’t you gone to rest so late?” Zhong Niangyao approached Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, smiling sweetly, “You don’t need to wait for me anymore; I’m not a child who needs you waiting at the door!”

“Nianyao! Your grandparents are just worried about you.” Zheng Silin spoke with a laugh, “We tried to convince them earlier, but your parents insisted on waiting for you to come back before resting.”

At this point, her eyes shifted, then she continued, “By the way, Nianyao, you’ve been at the Lu Family for so long, it seems Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu are quite pleased with you!”

No dinner could last that long; it was evident she stayed over at the Lu Family for a significant amount of time after dinner, or else she would have returned much earlier.

If Zhong Niangyao could stay until late, it meant that Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu were very satisfied with her, to keep her so long.

Looking at it now, Zhong Niangyao is indeed more capable than Zhong Mengxuan! Zhong Mengxuan schemed for so long and only ended up as a mistress, without even touching the threshold of the Lu Family. Now, Zhong Niangyao had been formally invited to the Lu Family’s family banquet.

Seeing Zhong Niangyao, Zheng Silin couldn’t help but think of her own daughter, Zhong Mengfan, who was unmarried and pregnant abroad, and she sighed to herself. If Zhong Mengfan had half the vision for men that Zhong Niangyao did, she would feel reassured.

Zhong Niangyao did not answer Zheng Silin’s question, but instead, looking at Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, she spoke sweetly, “Grandfather, Grandmother, it’s getting late, please go rest!”

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong nodded; they did not ask further but their eyes still carried a hint of worry when they looked at Zhong Niangyao.

Zhong Niangyao smiled and continued, “You can rest assured, Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu are very kind.”

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s response, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong’s expressions relaxed, and they seemed much more at ease.

Seeing that Zhong Niangyao did not pay attention to her or answer her question, Zheng Silin did not get angry but continued to smile throughout.

Zhong Minghao had been silent all this time, but his demeanor was kinder than usual when he looked at Zhong Niangyao.

Old Sir Zhong did not leave immediately; he looked at Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin, then slowly spoke, “Eldest son, daughter-in-law, I don’t know what you are thinking, but I must remind you here. Today’s matter of Yaoyao going to the Lu Family must not be shared.”

Upon hearing Old Sir Zhong’s warning, the smiles on the faces of Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin suddenly froze.

“Father!” Zhong Minghao’s smile was nearly unsustainable, “This is good news! Nianyao has already been to the Lu Family and officially met the parents. If this gets out, it will definitely be good for the company!”

Although the matter with Zhong Mengxuan and Lu Chenran had brought some benefits to the company, those were few. After all, since Zhong Mengxuan had no official status, many people did not take her seriously.

However, the situation with Zhong Niangyao was completely different. She had already met Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu, and if such news were to spread, everyone would consider the Lu Family’s face and make things convenient for the company. Moreover, the company’s stock price would surely rise. This would be beneficial.

Moreover, it wasn’t a lie, it truly happened!

Seeing Zhong Minghao wanting to capitalize on her and Lu Yichen for profit, Zhong Niangyao did not say anything.

Old Sir Zhong glared fiercely at Zhong Minghao, “You should be honest and upright in your dealings, not seek crooked paths. If you have the capability, the company will naturally prosper.”

“But, Father–” Zhong Minghao’s tone still carried a bit of reluctance.

“If you can only rely on these sorts of connections to succeed, then you might as well leave the company early,” Old Sir Zhong directly said, “to make room for those who truly work hard.”

After hearing Old Sir Zhong’s words, Zhong Minghao was still very unwilling, but he dared not argue further. He was well aware that his father would truly do this, wasn’t Zhong Mengxuan the best example?

Although she wasn’t overtly driven out of the Zhong Family, there was hardly any difference; the Zhong Family was no longer her support.
