The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 368 - Chapter 368 Chapter 368 Enjoying the Flowers

Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Enjoying the Flowers Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Enjoying the Flowers As the servant went to call for Lu Yichen, Zhong Niangyao glanced at Zhong Mengxuan, who was still standing there, and spoke in a somewhat languid tone, “What are you still doing here? Do you want to join me in receiving our guest?”

“Zhong Niangyao, don’t be so smug. Do you really think you can marry into the Lu Family? Dream on!”

Having said that, Zhong Mengxuan stamped her foot with force and then quickly turned around and left the garden.

Soon after, Lu Yichen arrived at the garden and sat down across from Zhong Niangyao, pulling out a chair.

The servant was very observant. After serving tea, they quickly retreated. Besides not daring to disturb the two here, another important reason was the desire to go back and have a good gossip with their siblings.

During this time, everyone had been talking about how the Third Miss had been abandoned. Now that Third Young Master Lu had personally come to visit, and his attitude was so positive, surely this didn’t seem like he was going to abandon the Third Miss!

“Why are you free to come over today!” Zhong Niangyao looked at Lu Yichen sitting across from her, propping her head up with one hand, still in a lazy and listless manner, “Is everything taken care of?”

“All taken care of.” Lu Yichen nodded, then said, “Your state seems not too good!”

“I’m quite alright!” Zhong Niangyao smiled, “It’s just that recently, with the arrival of autumn, my whole being seems a bit tired, which is why I seem so listless.”

Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow, seemingly uncertain whether to believe her or not, and changed the subject, “Alright! Wu Shi’s girlfriend has been found. Though she’s a bit malnourished and not in the best mental state, she hasn’t been harmed.”

“To thank you, they want to invite you to dinner. Will you go?”

The previously bored Zhong Niangyao thought for a moment but then agreed, “Alright! I shall see these two as well.”

As she said this, a hint of interest appeared on her face, “Actually, I am quite curious. It’s clear that Wu Shi is very in love with his current girlfriend. However, it seems that his ‘true love’ hasn’t appeared yet, and I wonder if his facial features will now change.”

According to the original trajectory, Wu Shi’s girlfriend should have been doomed. Wu Shi himself would have fallen into disarray for quite a while before meeting his true love.

Now that they had intervened, Wu Shi’s girlfriend lived on, and what would happen in the future really couldn’t be predicted.

“Okay, I will have someone reply to them,” Lu Yichen nodded, “How about tomorrow night? Does that work with your schedule?”

“Sure!” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “I don’t have much going on these next few days.”

After making the phone call and arranging everything, Lu Yichen looked at the Demon Core in Zhong Niangyao’s hand, a hint of obscurity flickering in his eyes, “Have you been holding this thing these past few days?”

Since the beginning, he had noticed this. He had to admit that he felt somewhat jealous, especially since it was something a man had left for Zhong Niangyao.

However, he also understood that to Zhong Niangyao, Hu Jiu might not even be considered an enemy, just a passerby. But seeing Zhong Niangyao constantly holding the Demon Core, he couldn’t help feeling jealous.

“Yes!” Zhong Niangyao raised her hand, looking at the Demon Core in her palm, a trace of puzzlement flashing in her eyes, “I don’t know why, but I always feel it’s strange. Clearly, I am opposed to that fox spirit. I even had a hand in his capture.”

“But, upon seeing his death, I still felt a faint sadness. I can’t explain why, but I’ve been feeling somewhat melancholy. I’ve never experienced this before. Do you think there’s something off about this situation?”

“There’s nothing off about it.” Lu Yichen looked towards Zhong Niangyao, his lips curving into a smile as he spoke, “Many things happen for a reason. There’s no need for you to resist it so much, just let nature take its course.”

“What you’re saying sounds even more profound than my fortune-telling,” Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but laugh, the previous melancholy swept away, feeling much better. She teased, “I never expected you to be so well-versed in philosophy!”

Seeing Zhong Niangyao’s beaming smile, the coldness in Lu Yichen’s eyes melted away, and his aura softened considerably, “This isn’t philosophy, just a simple realization. You yourself are a fortune-teller, how can you not see through this!”

“Indeed!” Zhong Niangyao nodded, then smilingly said, “Maybe I’ve been thinking too much because I’ve had too much free time lately. Perhaps I should set up a stall on Tongtian Bridge to pass the time and accumulate some merit.”

“So, do you want to set up a stall now?” Lu Yichen was ready to act, “Shall we go right away?”

It seemed as if he would do anything immediately, as long as it made Zhong Niangyao happy.

“Forget it.” Zhong Niangyao shook her head, slightly amused, “I was just saying. I’ve been feeling quite weary these days and really don’t want to overexert myself. It’s also very nice to just enjoy the flowers here.”

After finishing, she looked at Lu Yichen, raised an eyebrow, and said with a smiling face, “What do you say, Third Master Lu? Would you like to join me in enjoying the flowers?”

Lu Yichen’s lips curled into a light smile, his eyes filled with indulgence, “I’d be delighted.”

The attractive couple sat in the garden, laughing and chatting, creating an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere.

From a distance, it was a beautiful picture.

Many saw the scene but dared not approach to disturb, fearing they would break the beautiful tableau.

The arrival of Lu Yichen was known to all relevant people at the Zhong Family. However, it’s clear not everyone felt the same way.

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong’s first reaction was shock, followed by a sigh of relief. Only when they knew their granddaughter hadn’t been abandoned, did they truly breathe easier.

Of course, it was not because they coveted the power of the Lu Family, but because they did not want to see their granddaughter’s spirits so low. Now that they knew the two hadn’t broken up, they truly relaxed.

Nevertheless, they decided they would find an opportunity to ask their granddaughter what exactly had been going on lately. If it weren’t for her unusual demeanor, they wouldn’t have believed those rumors. Now that they know it’s not as they had heard, their granddaughter’s recent behavior was indeed strange, so something must have happened.
