The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 367 - Chapter 367 Chapter 367 Jealousy

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Jealousy Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Jealousy Zhong Niangyao didn’t know where Zhong Mengxuan had heard those words from, but she wasn’t in the mood to explain so much to the other party. She waved her hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly, “My affairs are none of your business. Just mind your own, and stop worrying about me.”

Zhong Mengxuan didn’t get angry either. When she looked at Zhong Niangyao, her eyes were filled with gloating, “Zhong Niangyao, I know you’ve been dumped, so you’re in a bad mood. But you can’t take your anger out on me!”

“Zhong Mengxuan, it’s broad daylight, so let’s not talk nonsense here.” Zhong Niangyao leaned lazily against the back of the chair, “No matter what’s going on between Lu Yichen and me, it has nothing to do with you. If you have time, mind your own business. And don’t keep staring at Long Jiarui’s belly. If you’re able, secure Lu Chenran’s heart.”

Hearing the sarcasm in Zhong Niangyao’s words, Zhong Mengxuan’s face immediately darkened, “Zhong Niangyao, what’s there for you to be proud of? If you’re really something, then why did Third Young Master Lu dump you?”

“Who told you that Lu Yichen dumped me?” Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhong Mengxuan with a half-smile, “Besides, even if Lu Yichen really did dump me, what of it? I’m still me, and nothing will change.”

“Hmph, why do you have to put on a brave face here!” Zhong Mengxuan always refused to believe that Zhong Niangyao wasn’t heartbroken at all, “But the gap between you and Third Young Master Lu was just too big; your breakup was inevitable. However, I am different from you. Even without an official title, who doesn’t know outside that I’m Lu Chenran’s woman!”

Even if she could never marry Lu Chenran in this lifetime, she was still connected to the Lu Family. Moreover, she was still by Lu Chenran’s side, whereas Zhong Niangyao had been dumped by Third Young Master Lu.

No matter how one looked at it, she had already won over Zhong Niangyao.

“Oh, so you mean to say, being an unnamed lover by Lu Chenran’s side is such a remarkable feat?” Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but laugh, “Tell me, everyone receives the same education, so why is your brain different from others? To actually take pride in being a man’s mistress.”

“You–” Zhong Mengxuan was choked with anger, but soon she laughed again, “Zhong Niangyao, I’m not angry, I know you’re jealous of me right now.”

“Jealous of you?” Zhong Niangyao scoffed as if she’d heard a joke, “What’s there for me to be jealous of? Jealous of you for being forced to abort your first child, jealous of you for being a man’s mistress, or jealous of you for being constantly troubled by Madam Lu?”

“Even if you stay by Lu Chenran’s side, what of it? If he really liked you, why would he let you fall into such a difficult situation? So, Zhong Mengxuan, I really don’t understand, what sense of superiority do you have in front of me?”

Each of these words seemed to stab Zhong Mengxuan’s heart, her face turned pale, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Zhong Niangyao, as if she wanted to flay and debone her.

“There’s no need to look at me with such animosity.” Zhong Niangyao spoke indifferently, “The reason you’ve ended up this way is due to your own vanity. You can’t blame anyone else. Zhong Mengxuan, do you know the biggest difference between you and me?”

“That is, even without Lu Yichen, I can still live very well. I will absolutely not live dependent on a man. I am me, and I will never become anyone’s appendage.”

Saying this, Zhong Niangyao’s eyes shifted, and a malicious smile curled on her lips, “After all, I am not like you. I have shares in the company, and a considerable amount of property. Even if I never marry, I can still live a carefree life.”

At these words, Zhong Mengxuan’s face turned uglier.

Even though they were both young ladies of the Zhong Family, Zhong Niangyao already had a large fortune at such a young age. Yet, Mengxuan had to live on her family’s money, feeling uncontrollable jealousy whenever she saw Zhong Niangyao spend so lavishly.

It was also for this reason that she had tried to pressure her mother to give her shares. She felt she could only be confident with her own property. But she didn’t anticipate that not only did she fail to get the shares, she also caused her mother to give birth prematurely. Now, she felt almost abandoned by her family.

She was so jealous of Zhong Niangyao that she was nearly insane. Now, finally having a chance to laugh at Zhong Niangyao, in the end, she was still humiliated by her.

Before Zhong Mengxuan could open her mouth to say something, a maid hurried in. Before she could speak, she was scolded by Zhong Mengxuan.

Already fuming due to Zhong Niangyao’s words, seeing the agitated maid seemed like finding an outlet, and she immediately lashed out at the maid, “What is it? If you don’t want to work, just say it. I’ll have the housekeeper settle your salary right away and let you leave.”

Shocked by the scolding, the maid also looked aggrieved. But since she needed the job, she didn’t dare talk back to Zhong Mengxuan, instead lowering her head and saying, “It’s… Third Young Master Lu has arrived, he says he wants to see the Third Miss.”

She had been in such a hurry to notify the Third Miss, that’s why she had rushed. But she wasn’t being rash, just walking a bit fast, and for this, she had to suffer a scolding. It was truly unfair.

“What did you say?” Zhong Mengxuan reacted strongly, “Who did you say is here?”

No, she must have heard wrong, how could Third Young Master Lu come to find Zhong Niangyao? Wasn’t Zhong Niangyao already dumped?

The maid was startled by such a reaction and hesitated, “Third Young Master Lu has arrived, he’s waiting outside, he’s here to see the Third Miss.”

“It’s impossible, that’s impossible.” Zhong Mengxuan’s complexion turned gloomy, and she kept muttering to herself, “How could this be? It must be a mistake.”

Zhong Niangyao didn’t even glance at Zhong Mengxuan and directly instructed the maid, “Then bring him here.”

She was feeling lazy and really didn’t want to move.

“Huh?” The maid was momentarily stunned upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s instruction, and spoke hesitantly, “Third Miss, you mean–”

The Third Miss wasn’t rushing out excitedly but wanted Third Young Master Lu to come in himself?

“Let him come over,” Zhong Niangyao said directly, “I’ll wait for him here.”
