The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 370 - Chapter 370 Chapter 370 Divisions and Unions

Chapter 370: Chapter 370 Divisions and Unions Chapter 370: Chapter 370 Divisions and Unions “These are other people’s issues, you shouldn’t think too much about it,” Lu Yichen spoke. “Besides, they’re both adults now, and they can manage their emotional entanglements.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded and continued, “Exactly! That’s why I didn’t tell them what I saw. They’re both fresh from a life-and-death separation, and they’re in the throes of passionate love. Whatever outsiders say, they won’t listen.”

“So you gave them a subtle hint, is that it?”

“Mhm.” Zhong Niangyao nodded again, “But whether they took it to heart, I have no idea. In any case, I’ve done what I could within my power. As for the rest, it’s no longer my place to interfere.”

After finishing their ice cream, the two of them continued to stroll around outside, enjoying the cool autumn breeze and feeling exceptionally comfortable.

In the following days, Lu Yichen found reasons almost every day to ask Zhong Niangyao out on dates.

With the frequency of their dates, the Zhong Family’s gossip about Zhong Niangyao being abandoned vanished without a trace.

Plenty of servants had begun to speculate when exactly Zhong Niangyao would marry into the Lu Family. Even though she was still in university and close to graduating, she was already of age to get married. In fact, many daughters from wealthy families had their marriages arranged while they were still in university and would get married as soon as they graduated.

None of these words ever reached Zhong Niangyao’s ears. But even if they had, she would not have cared.

In the blink of an eye, it was the start of the school term, and Zhong Niangyao arrived at campus.

Walking on Tenglong Academy’s pathways, Zhong Niangyao spotted two familiar figures from afar and couldn’t help but arch an eyebrow amusingly.

Because it was none other than Li Jingming and Chu Yixue. Previously, she had already informed Li Jingming that Chu Yixue was a faux rich girl. She originally thought Li Jingming would use this information somehow, but now she saw the two of them together again.

This was indeed interesting.

At the moment Zhong Niangyao spotted Li Jingming and Chu Yixue, they also saw her, but both looked rather displeased. They didn’t even greet Zhong Niangyao and just walked past her.

Seeing Li Jingming and Chu Yixue’s actions, a hint of surprise flickered in Zhong Niangyao’s eyes. She had thought that the pair would come straight up to her to spout some nonsense!

However, since they weren’t bothering her, she wasn’t inclined to seek out trouble either.

Just as Zhong Niangyao continued to walk forward, a figure hurriedly caught up from behind, continuously calling out, “Boss, boss, wait for me!”

With the sound of the voice, Zhao Xuanglang quickly reached Zhong Niangyao’s side, still panting slightly, “Boss, why are you walking so fast? I almost couldn’t catch up with you.”

Zhong Niangyao glanced sideways at Zhao Xuanglang with a bit of speechlessness, “Am I walking fast? I’m merely taking a stroll, alright?”

Zhao Xuanglang scratched his head sheepishly, then spoke with a mysterious tone, “Boss, I’ve got big news! Chu Yixue and Li Jingming, they’re back together.”

Almost everyone at Tenglong Academy was now aware of Shen Yixue’s transformation into Chu Yixue. But apart from commenting on the unpredictability of life, there wasn’t much of a reaction.

After all, those studying at Tenglong Academy come from either wealthy or noble families. Thus, even if Shen Yixue has suddenly become the Second Lady of the Chu Family, it wouldn’t make others admire her more.

Following her transformation into Chu Yixue, she publicly announced her breakup with Li Jingming in a high-profile manner.

Everyone kept their opinions to themselves. Though born into wealth and privilege, many carried the burden of their family’s missions and had little interest in such gossip.

And truthfully, Li Jingming’s status indeed wasn’t a match for the Second Lady of the Chu Family.

Chu Yixue’s approach was very pragmatic, but it hardly drew much attention.

Yet unexpectedly, just as the new semester began, Chu Yixue and Li Jingming were back together and were openly seen in public without any reservations, even announcing they were nearly engaged.

This twist caused many to wonder what had actually happened behind the scenes. However, it did garner a good deal of attention.

Everyone speculated whether the two would smoothly get engaged or break up again.

Zhao Xuanglang learned of this news early in the morning and hurried to share it with Zhong Niangyao.

Turning around, Zhong Niangyao gave Zhao Xuanglang a flat look then spoke somewhat speechlessly, “I already knew about what you just said.”

“Huh?” Zhao Xuanglang was momentarily stunned, “Boss, how are you so well-informed! I only just found out, how did you know? Did you predict it or something?”

“You’re overthinking it.” Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “I wouldn’t waste time calculating such things. I just saw them looking quite intimate, that’s how I know.”

Divination isn’t as simple as these outsiders believe – it consumes her spiritual power and Spiritual Power. To divine for the likes of Chu Yixue… utterly worthless.

“Alright then!” Zhao Xuanglang nodded, then continued excitedly gossiping, “I really didn’t expect the relationship between Li Jingming and Chu Yixue to be so deep! After all their breakups and makeups, now they’re together again. It’s just uncertain whether the Chu Family will agree to their union.”

After all, Chu Yixue is the legitimate daughter of the Chu Family’s second wife, not an illegitimate child like Li Jingming.

It must be said, this time Li Jingming really is reaching high. And the Chu Family might not agree to have Chu Yixue marry an illegitimate son.

“It doesn’t matter,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head, a cryptic smile playing on her lips, “If Chu Yixue truly has her heart set on Li Jingming, then she will find a way to get her family to agree. It’s just–”

How sincere she is about the current Li Jingming remains unknown.

She left the last words unsaid.

Zhao Xuanglang, on the other hand, was completely perplexed by what he heard, which only piqued his curiosity. Seeing that Zhong Niangyao seemed disinclined to explain further, he didn’t press the issue. He understood Zhong Niangyao well enough to know that if she didn’t want to tell, he would never get it out of her, and it wasn’t worth expending the effort.
