The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 433 - Chapter 433 Chapter 433 Divorce

Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Divorce Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Divorce For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room was unusually silent, with everyone looking at each other in dismay, not knowing what to say.

However, it was clear that Lu Yichen wasn’t going to let this slide so easily, his gaze still fixed on Old Sir Zhong, “The matter today can’t just end like this.”

Zhong Niangyao sat there with an air of calm, looking around the room and not saying a word, just quietly sitting there. It seemed as though she did not intend to intervene, but her attitude was already quite clear.

Old Sir Zhong sighed, his eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.

Old Madam Zhong, who seemed to feel Old Sir Zhong’s intentions, reached out her hand and held his, as if to give him strength in this way.

Feeling the silent comfort from his wife, Old Sir Zhong looked up, his eyes determined. He turned to Zhong Mingyu and then spoke out, “Second son, get divorced!”

At this announcement, everyone present was shocked, seemingly unable to believe the words they had just heard.

“Dad, I–” Zhong Mingyu started to speak, but he didn’t know what to say.

“No, I won’t get divorced!”

After the initial shock, Li Yiqiu came back to her senses, panic filling her face as tears could no longer be held back, cascading endlessly down, “I absolutely will not get divorced.”

She turned her head, looked toward the distressed Zhong Mingyu, extended her hand, and grabbed his wrist, pleading repeatedly, “Husband, I don’t want to get divorced, we can’t get divorced! Xiao Kang was just born not long ago, he can’t be without a mother!”

At this moment, Li Yiqiu was truly scared. She had imagined many ways Old Sir Zhong might punish her, but it never crossed her mind that he would directly demand a divorce like this.

She didn’t want, nor could she afford to get divorced. What would she do after divorce? And what about her child?

Moreover, if her family learned about the reason for her divorce, they definitely wouldn’t accept her back. Then she would truly have nowhere to go.

“I–” Zhong Mingyu looked at his wife, crying piteously before him, and his eyes showed a trace of emotion.

But when his gaze met his father’s, he felt a twinge of guilt. For a moment, he too didn’t know what to do.

After all, they had weathered many storms together over the years, and even if he had other mistresses outside, he had never considered divorce. Especially now that they had just had a son.

But now, considering the kind of thing his wife had done, injuring Third Young Master Lu, and with his father directly addressing the matter, he couldn’t argue.

Sensing something, Li Yiqiu suddenly stood up and quickly walked in front of Old Sir Zhong, then knelt down directly, “Dad, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this once! For the sake of Xiao Kang, don’t let Mingyu divorce me!”

Looking at Li Yiqiu kneeling there, Old Sir Zhong’s expression remained unchanged, his face cold as he spoke, “Do you truly realize your mistake?”

Upon hearing Old Sir Zhong’s question, Li Yiqiu’s whole being was invigorated, hope rising in her eyes as she nodded incessantly, “Truly, dad, I really know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept any punishment, as long as Mingyu doesn’t divorce me.”

“Even at this point, you still haven’t realized your mistake!” Old Madam Zhong couldn’t hold back a sigh, her eyes full of disappointment, “If you really knew you were wrong, you wouldn’t be here begging us for forgiveness.”

From beginning to end, the person Li Yiqiu wanted to harm was Zhong Niangyao, and the one she had truly hurt was Lu Yichen, but so far, she hadn’t apologized to them even once.

Old Madam Zhong’s sudden statement stunned everyone present. However, the people there were wise and immediately understood the implication behind Old Madam Zhong’s words.

The crying from Li Yiqiu stopped abruptly, and she stood there frozen, looking particularly distressed.

But before she could make her next move, Zhong Niangyao slowly turned her head, looking at Li Yiqiu. A faint smile formed on her lips, “You needn’t apologize to me, because I have no intention of forgiving you.”

Those simple two sentences directly cut off all of Li Yiqiu’s options, leaving her feeling somewhat at a loss.

“Zhong Niangyao, don’t be so unreasonable,” Zhong Mengxuan immediately jumped in to defend her mother’s actions, “My mom has already recognized her mistake. Why do you still have to be so aggressive? Why are you insisting on pushing for my parents’ divorce, what’s your intention?”

Since the beginning, she had wanted to speak up for her mother. But in such a setting, as a younger family member, she didn’t know how to speak up.

But if things continued this way, her parents were truly heading for a divorce. She absolutely did not want her parents to split up. Without them together, she would have no home.

What’s more, her father was not old; if he divorced, there was a high chance he would remarry. Her relationship with her father was already strained, and if a stepmother entered the picture, it would undoubtedly get even worse.

So, no matter what, she was determined not to let her parents divorce.

“What does that have to do with me?” Zhong Niangyao blinked innocently, her face portraying naivete, “It’s not me who’s asking them to get divorced. What’s the use of telling me this? Or is it that you don’t dare to confront Grandpa, so you are putting pressure on me instead?”

Zhong Mengxuan’s face instantly turned red, and she reflexively retorted, “I’m not.”

“Well, then you go talk to Grandpa!” Zhong Niangyao shifted the responsibility back onto Old Master Zhong’s shoulders, “I haven’t said anything. I simply refuse to forgive.”

Suddenly thrust into the spotlight, Old Master Zhong could do nothing but give Zhong Niangyao a look that was both amused and annoyed. However, he didn’t voice any criticism toward her.

Obviously, Zhong Mengxuan dared not argue with Old Master Zhong. She still looked at Zhong Niangyao, “Zhong Niangyao, what are you pretending for? Yes, my mom did wrong this time. But she did it for my brother only. Can’t you just let it go this once, seeing the heart of a loving mother in her?”

“Besides, you haven’t been injured now, have you? After all, if you were willing to treat Xiao Kang’s condition in the beginning, my mom wouldn’t have been swayed by others to seek such messy methods to obtain ‘Heart Blood.’ You bear some responsibility in this matter too.”
