The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 430 - Chapter 430 Chapter 430 Hypnosis

Chapter 430: Chapter 430 Hypnosis Chapter 430: Chapter 430 Hypnosis Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong did not look at Li Yiqiu with kind eyes.

Because if things were really as Zhong Niangyao had described, Li Yiqiu’s actions today had been with the intent to kill Zhong Niangyao. They had all seen it clearly; the tip of the knife had been aimed at Zhong Niangyao’s chest.

Had that knife really struck Zhong Niangyao, then Zhong Niangyao would have indeed been in danger.

So, the more they looked at Li Yiqiu, the colder their hearts grew.

Li Yiqiu kept her head down and wept, her face full of the injustice of being wronged. She could feel Zhong Niangyao’s meaningful gaze upon her, but she just didn’t dare to meet it.

At that moment, her heart was also filled with regret. She regretted that her attack had been too hasty and without proper planning, leading to such a significant oversight.

Now that Zhong Niangyao was unharmed and Lu Yichen the one injured, she felt an immense sense of defeat. However, what bothered her the most was that Zhong Niangyao kept pressuring her, constantly questioning why she had acted this way.

Although Zhong Niangyao was not injured and she hadn’t achieved her anticipated outcome, she was certain that she hadn’t left behind any trace of her plan. It was apparent to everyone that this was just an accident.

She hadn’t expected that Zhong Niangyao would not believe it was an accident and was now relentlessly pursuing her.

“How about it, Second Aunt, are my words really that hard to understand?”

Li Yiqiu’s retreat did not make Zhong Niangyao give up; she kept a tight watch on Li Yiqiu, “Or is it that, Second Aunt, you are now thinking of how to fabricate an excuse to deal with me?”

“Nianyao, I really don’t know why you are so convinced that I did it on purpose,” Li Yiqiu cried sorrowfully, “I just accidentally stumbled while walking today and almost hurt you. I truly do know I am at fault, and I am willing to apologize to you. However, you are now forcing me to admit to something I did not do, and I really do not know what to say.”

As long as she did not admit it, there was nothing Zhong Niangyao could do, even if she was certain. Moreover, she indeed had never intended to take Zhong Niangyao’s life. She had only wanted Zhong Niangyao to bleed a little from the “Heart Blood”, hence her desperate strategy.

She also hadn’t expected that the one injured would be Lu Yichen and not Zhong Niangyao.

“Second Aunt,” Zhong Niangyao’s face bore a smile, yet her words were laced with endless chill, “The reason I am willing to ask you here and now is to give you a chance. If you tell the truth, then I can decide whether to continue to hold you accountable. If you don’t cherish such an opportunity, then don’t blame me for being unkind.”

“Nianyao, I truly haven’t done anything, why do you insist on making me admit something I didn’t do?” Li Yiqiu still maintained a look of pitiful self-pity, yet she was very firm, “No matter what you say, I didn’t do it; and if I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it.”

“Zhong Niangyao, you really are too much,” Zhong Mengxuan rose to her feet and strode over to Zhong Niangyao, looking down at her from above, “Do you have some sort of persecution complex? It was clearly just an accident, and yet you insist on accusing others of wanting to harm you on purpose.”

“Are you trying to frame someone here? If you really have evidence, go call the police now. Those who stand upright do not fear a crooked shadow; we are not afraid of you making a fuss.”

Seeing Zhong Mengxuan defend herself like this here, Li Yiqiu was somewhat moved. After all, it was her daughter, and now at such a critical moment, her daughter was still willing to speak up for her, which made her feel that the incidents of the past could truly be dissipated like smoke and clouds.

However, as much as she appreciated the defense, when Li Yiqiu heard Zhong Mengxuan actually encouraging Zhong Niangyao to call the police, she immediately wanted to shut Zhong Mengxuan up.

“Second Aunt, what do you say about me calling the police now, to let the public security department get involved in the investigation? Wouldn’t that be good too?” Zhong Niangyao smiled amiably as she looked toward Li Yiqiu, continuing to speak, “What do you think?”

Li Yiqiu’s face wasn’t looking very good, but she still bit her teeth and said, “Decide for yourself! I’ll repeat what I’ve said before: everything that happened tonight was an accident.”

She comforted herself incessantly, telling herself there was no need to be afraid–tonight’s events had left no trace. Even if the authorities were to get involved in an investigation, she didn’t need to fear anything.

However, despite continuously psyching herself up, she still couldn’t hide a trace of worry. At the same time, she was also blaming Zhong Mengxuan inside. Why on earth had she reminded Zhong Niangyao to call the police?

Zhong Niangyao directly stood up, pushing away Zhong Mengxuan in front of her.

Zhong Mengxuan hadn’t expected Zhong Niangyao’s action, so when she was pushed, she staggered, almost falling to the ground.

But before she could confront Zhong Niangyao, she felt a bone-chilling coldness. Then, following the direction from where the chill emanated, she found herself looking directly into Lu Yichen’s indifferent eyes.

Those eyes were like an unfathomably deep ancient well–they seemed calm on the surface, but in reality, they were profoundly abyssal. Even just by standing there, there was a feeling of being swallowed whole.

She had a feeling that, in Lu Yichen’s eyes, she simply did not exist. She was just an ant, and for Lu Yichen, to crush it would take but the flick of a finger.

At that moment, a very dangerous feeling welled up inside her. After pushing away Zhong Mengxuan, Zhong Niangyao walked straight up to Li Yiqiu, her gaze fixed intently on Li Yiqiu as she spoke, “Second Aunt, did you really not intend to do what you did today? Think about it carefully before you answer my question.”

Her tone was soft and gentle, not at all like her previous aggressive manner. In fact, upon hearing that voice, one felt quite comfortable.

Just as Li Yiqiu was about to speak, she lifted her eyes to look at Zhong Niangyao.

As her gaze shifted, accompanied by Zhong Niangyao’s low, coaxing voice, she suddenly felt her whole body tired, wanting nothing more than to fall asleep right then and there.

Gradually, Li Yiqiu’s demeanor became relaxed, and the light in her eyes slowly faded away.

Seeing that Li Yiqiu was already hypnotized, Zhong Niangyao’s mouth curled into a smug smile before she spoke, “Li Yiqiu, was what happened today really an accident?”

“It wasn’t an accident. It was all planned by me. I did it on purpose. I wanted to injure Zhong Niangyao, to take her ‘Heart Blood’.”
