The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 369 - Chapter 369 Chapter 369 Death Calamity

Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Death Calamity Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Death Calamity In the evening, Lu Yichen arrived at the Zhong family house and picked up Zhong Niangyao before heading to the agreed-upon restaurant.

Wu Shi and his girlfriend Xiao Min had already been waiting in the private room for a while, and they were there especially to thank Zhong Niangyao. After learning of Zhong Niangyao’s family background, the couple knew there wasn’t much they could do to express their gratitude, so they had decided to simply invite Zhong Niangyao out to dinner.

Upon entering the private room, Zhong Niangyao saw Wu Shi and his girlfriend.

Compared to his previously dispirited appearance, Wu Shi couldn’t exactly be described as radiant at this moment, but he did look much better. When he glanced at the girl by his side, he did so with tenderness and love. It was clear that he genuinely liked her.

Xiao Min wasn’t any great beauty, best described as a modest gem. However, when she smiled, two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, giving her an exceedingly pleasant countenance.

“Lady Zhong, have you arrived?”

Upon the arrival of Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, Wu Shi and Xiao Min quickly stood up, excitement on their faces.

The atmosphere that followed was very good, with Wu Shi and Xiao Min full of heartfelt gratitude towards Zhong Niangyao.

The dinner proceeded well, with all parties thoroughly enjoying themselves.

After dinner, before saying goodbye, Zhong Niangyao looked at Wu Shi and Xiao Min, and after a moment of thought, she spoke, “I have a piece of advice for you! You’re still young, so love passionately while you’re in love. No matter the outcome, you won’t have any regrets. But, if the love fades, then let go gracefully.”

“In this world, no one cannot survive without someone else. If a relationship is truly at its end, then it only means that the right person for you is probably not far away and on their way to you.”

After these words, Wu Shi and Xiao Min were somewhat bewildered and didn’t fully understand.

However, they still nodded seriously in acknowledgement.

After leaving the restaurant, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao didn’t go straight home, but instead walked to a nearby park for a stroll.

The park was lively with young couples walking after dinner, elder ladies dancing in the square, children playing around–diverse sounds that were a bit noisy but filled with the lively essence of the Human World.

Neither Lu Yichen nor Zhong Niangyao often visited such places.

There wasn’t much expression on Lu Yichen’s face, but Zhong Niangyao’s was always lit with a smile, and she looked around with great interest.

Seeing Zhong Niangyao like this, Lu Yichen shook his head with amusement, yet he didn’t say anything. He thought that this vibrant side of Zhong Niangyao was indeed rare to see.

Before long, the two sat down on a stone bench in the park.

After looking around for a while, Zhong Niangyao turned to Lu Yichen beside her, tilted her head with a smile, and suddenly said, “Lu Yichen, go buy me some ice cream!”

Even though it was already autumn and felt a bit cool, seeing some children around eating ice cream made her crave it too.

Back when she was in Lai Country, they didn’t have such things, and the chilly sensation seemed really nice.

Hearing words from Zhong Niangyao that resembled a cute whim, Lu Yichen found it novel. He raised an eyebrow, didn’t say anything, and quickly got up to buy her ice cream.

Not long after, Lu Yichen returned, holding a small ice cream.

Taking the ice cream from Lu Yichen’s hand, Zhong Niangyao pouted and said somewhat disdainfully, “Why is it so small, Lu Yichen? You really are stingy!”

“We’ve just finished dinner not long ago,” Lu Yichen replied seriously, “and besides, the weather is a bit cool now. Eating too much cold food isn’t good for your health.”

Looking at Lu Yichen’s preachy demeanor, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but let out a laugh, then as if suddenly reminded of something, she burst into laughter, “Lu Yichen, when I first met you, I thought you were a very cold person. Both inside and out, you seemed cold to the bone. Who would have thought that one day, you would nag at me like an old mother!”

Lu Yichen didn’t say anything but simply reached out to ruffle Zhong Niangyao’s hair and spoke softly, “Alright, eat and enjoy.”

Zhong Niangyao quickly opened the lid and dug in with a spoon, devouring a big mouthful and relishing the chilly sensation, squinting her eyes in delight, “Eating ice cream in this kind of weather really has its own unique charm!”

Watching Zhong Niangyao eat like a little squirrel, a hint of fondness glinted in Lu Yichen’s eyes.

“Lu Yichen, do you think it was a good thing that I saved Xiao Min this time?” Zhong Niangyao took another big scoop of ice cream and then turned to Lu Yichen, “Xiao Min has survived now, but between her and Wu Shi–”

Her voice trailed off, not knowing quite how to continue.

“They will break up in the future?” Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow, directly addressing the crux of the issue, “Xiao Min’s survival hasn’t changed Wu Shi’s future choices, has it?”

“Yeah,” Zhong Niangyao nodded and then heaved a sigh, “Before coming here, I was wondering, now that Xiao Min has continued to live, whether she might become Wu Shi’s true love. But after meeting them tonight, I realized that she isn’t. Because Wu Shi’s true love hasn’t appeared yet.”

“Wu Shi will change his heart in the future?” Lu Yichen wasn’t surprised, “Things in the future change in the blink of an eye, and no one can be sure. Although you see it this way now, who can guarantee what the future holds!”

“Indeed,” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “They’re deeply in love now, but who knows what the future will bring! However, I can see that their future love triangle will likely be very painful and complicated. Moreover–”

As she spoke, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help frowning, “Xiao Min might even die because of it.”

Understanding flashed in Lu Yichen’s eyes, “So that’s why you reminded them tonight.”

“Exactly,” Zhong Niangyao nodded and continued, “This time we saved Xiao Min, but we’ve also brought her another brush with death. Her fate lies within the emotional entanglement between Wu Shi, another woman, and herself.”

She could only vaguely perceive this since this was a matter of the future that had not yet occurred. Everything in the world changes so quickly; even a tiny change could potentially lead to a massive shift in the future.
