The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 441 - Chapter 441 Chapter 471 Fear

Chapter 441: Chapter 471 Fear Chapter 441: Chapter 471 Fear “Zhong Niangyao, don’t try to beat around the bush here,” Zhong Mengxuan was panicked, “You obviously have a way, when my mother was pregnant and fell, you were able to save her.”

It was only Zhong Mengxuan who was anxious, the others weren’t showing much reaction. Even Zhong Mingyu, upon seeing Zhong Niangyao’s arrival, merely glanced up indifferently and said nothing.

“So what?” Zhong Niangyao remained unmoved, shrugged, and spoke carelessly, “I’m not a doctor, what’s the use of me rushing over? Moreover, I think your memory might not be so good, you’ve forgotten what your mother did to me last night!”

“I–” Zhong Mengxuan fell silent, then still choked up and said, “Even if it’s a huge matter, it should stand aside in the face of life and death! Zhong Niangyao, how can you hold such a grudge?”

Zhong Niangyao nodded in agreement, “I think you’re right, especially with that one condition, which is in the face of life and death. Last night, when your mother wanted my Heart Blood, she must have had the intention of taking my life!”

“Zhong Niangyao, you–” Zhong Mengxuan stamped her foot, resentfully saying, “This is turning a blind eye to death.”

“Enough.”

Old Sir Zhong, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up, and after giving Zhong Mengxuan a look, said coldly, “I know your mother is in trouble and you’re upset, everyone can understand that. But now, you’d better figure out the ins and outs of this matter.”

“From beginning to end, what does this incident have to do with Yaoyao? The one who injured your mother was the driver at fault, and the rescue attempt is by the medical staff in the hospital. That Yaoyao has come to show concern at all is already going above and beyond.”

“Grandfather, why are you so biased?” Zhong Mengxuan was very dissatisfied, “She, Zhong Niangyao, clearly has such capability, she could have saved my mother. It’s not just my mother, but Xiao Kang also, yet she chose to stand by. Why do you always side with her?”

“I’m not favoring anyone, I’m just stating the facts,” Old Sir Zhong shook his head, looking at Zhong Mengxuan with a face full of disappointment, “Mengxuan, after experiencing so many things, I thought you would become more mature. Now it seems I overestimated you. Even now, you still think like a child, not understanding reason at all.”

Although he had said he wouldn’t meddle with his granddaughter Zhong Mengxuan in the future, there were still blood ties, and he still hoped that Zhong Mengxuan would grow up and become a responsible person.

But, after so many incidents, his disappointment in Zhong Mengxuan was growing. No matter what happened, Zhong Mengxuan always rushed to shift the blame onto others. Often, she would act without discerning right from wrong, based solely on her own thoughts.

“Grandfather, I know you dislike me,” Zhong Mengxuan didn’t feel she was at fault, “But now, lying in the ICU is my mother. If Zhong Niangyao had even a shred of compassion and had taken action to help, my mother wouldn’t be like this.”

Old Master Zhong wanted to say more, but before he could speak, he was interrupted.

“You mean to say, Yaoyao could save your mother, but she intentionally didn’t, is that it?”

Lu Yichen, who hadn’t spoken up until now, suddenly interjected, his tone ice-cold, looking at Zhong Mengxuan without a trace of warmth, “On what basis do you say this? And why are you so sure that Yaoyao knows how to save people?”

Caught off guard by the question, Zhong Mengxuan was very angry, but upon realizing who was questioning her and feeling the chill, she couldn’t help but shiver, then still tried to suppress the fear inside her and said defiantly, “She does have a way, she just doesn’t want to help.”

Previously, she had never had any direct confrontations with Lu Yichen, knowing him only through others.

She even felt somewhat dismissive of Lu Yichen, feeling that if he hadn’t been fortunate enough to be born into the Lu Family, a sickly person like him might not have lived so long!

Even after knowing of Lu Yichen’s capabilities and seeing that his mere word could temporarily separate her from Lu Chenran, she still didn’t have an accurate impression.

Now, facing Lu Yichen for the first time, she felt as though her whole body was soaked in ice water. The chill seemed to surge from within her heart.

At this moment, she was relying purely on willpower to prevent herself from running away.

“What a joke; it’s all just what you think,” Lu Yichen spoke indifferently, “Zhong Mengxuan, I don’t care about your affairs, nor what you think, but please manage yourself.”

“If I hear another word I don’t like from your mouth, I won’t mind making it so you’ll never be able to speak again.”

There was no emphasis in Lu Yichen’s tone, just utter indifference.

Yet, Zhong Mengxuan felt an endless fear. It was a fear of facing a threat of death, feeling like an ant in Lu Yichen’s eyes.

Moreover, deep down she knew for certain that Lu Yichen wasn’t just talking–he could really do it.

Thinking all this, Zhong Mengxuan felt cold in her extremities, her lips trembling, her body starting to shake uncontrollably.

“Um, Third Young Master Lu,” Zhong Mingyu cautiously began, “This truly is Mengxuan’s fault, and I’m here to apologize on her behalf, hoping you can be magnanimous and forgive her this once.”

Though he was very angry about what Zhong Mengxuan had done, and even considered completely giving up on his daughter,

This was still his daughter after all, raised from childhood. Even if she had done many wrong things, she was still his daughter. So he couldn’t just remain indifferent and allow Zhong Mengxuan to be stuck in a quagmire.

Lu Yichen didn’t even glance at Zhong Mingyu, just withdrew his gaze, his expression unreadable, leaving others to wonder what he was thinking.

There Zhong Mengxuan stood, not saying anything, but the fear on her face hadn’t faded, clearly visible for all to see. Until now, she still hadn’t realized her mistake. She thought that Lu Yichen was suppressing her only because of the issues between her and Zhong Niangyao.
