The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 466 - Chapter 466 Chapter 466 Agreed

Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Agreed Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Agreed After a long silence, Old Mrs. Lai spoke again, “What if this time, I’m unwilling to chase Li Jingming out of the Lai family? Lady Zhong, what do you plan to do then?”

Although she was indeed annoyed by the stupidity of Li Jingming, she also did not like the attitude that Zhong Niangyao displayed. It seemed casual, but every word was imbued with an air of nonchalance as if holding a winning hand, as if everything was under her control.

“What can I do?” Zhong Niangyao shrugged her shoulders, her face full of indifference, but her words carried a chilling effect, “Li Jingming is part of your Lai family. If you’re unwilling to cast him out, then there’s nothing I can do! However–”

“They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend, then the ally of my enemy is naturally my enemy. I have never been merciful to my enemies. Especially now that Li Jingming has twice sought my life. It should be considered a situation of neither die nor rest, shouldn’t it!”

“Afterward, it will depend on whether the Lai family’s tactics are more formidable or my capabilities are greater.”

In her final words, she consciously attributed the Lai family to Li Jingming’s camp, implying that her adversaries were not just Li Jingming, but the Lai family as well.

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Old Mrs. Lai’s breath involuntarily hitched. She knew clearly that Zhong Niangyao was not just talking, she really intended to take action.

She looked at Zhong Niangyao and realized that from the beginning to the end, Zhong Niangyao’s expression had not changed in the slightest. She spoke as if discussing something trivial, even something that had nothing to do with herself.

In other words, Zhong Niangyao truly did not take this matter to heart.

Faced with Old Mrs. Lai’s probing gaze, Zhong Niangyao was gracious, allowing the other to observe, and even sent a faint smile her way.

A very simple and common courteous smile, showing no trace of emotional change.

The more she observed, the more horrified Old Mrs. Lai felt, until at last she nodded, “Lady Zhong, I agree to what you’ve said. From now on, Li Jingming and the Lai family will have nothing to do with each other. Also, let me state one thing here, whatever Li Jingming does in the future will have nothing to do with our Lai family.”

After two instances, she also understood a reality: Li Jingming was definitely a fool.

If she had to deal with Zhong Niangyao, after a first failure, she wouldn’t have rashly taken action but would have lain in wait in darkness, striving to find an appropriate opportunity to strike again.

But Li Jingming, that fool, after one failure, acted as if something was chasing him, becoming so impatient to strike again as though he feared others wouldn’t know he was the culprit.

Such a fool, being cast out of the Lai family was a good thing, lest he do something in the future that would bring trouble upon the family.

Moreover, she felt that she had been more than fair. Initially, Li Jingming’s ability to enter the Lai family openly only occurred due to a conspiracy, a scheme designed by Chen Sisi. Now, speaking frankly, it was akin to restoring order from chaos!

“Old Mrs. Lai, Li Jingming no longer has the capability to do anything,” Zhong Niangyao said lightly, and then seemingly offhandedly added, “Of course, if you are referring to his girlfriend, Chu Yixue, then there’s even less need to worry. The Chu Family will absolutely not help Li Jingming because of Chu Yixue. No, perhaps I should say, they might even direct their anger at Li Jingming because of her!”

“What?” Old Mrs. Lai’s brows knitted slightly, her face showing bewilderment.

She had seen Chu Yixue and was naturally aware that Chu Yixue was the Chu Family’s lost daughter for many years.

Over the years, the Chu Family had never given up searching for her. Now that they had finally found her, shouldn’t she be treasured?

However, from what Zhong Niangyao implied, the Chu Family’s affection towards this rediscovered daughter seemed to be lacking!

“Heh, it’s nothing but a play of the true versus the counterfeit lady,” Zhong Niangyao said with a laugh as she stood, “Since Old Mrs. Lai has agreed, I won’t stay any longer. I’ll take my leave now.”

Old Mrs. Lai was no fool, and she certainly grasped Zhong Niangyao’s meaning. However, before she could fully recover from the shock of the real versus counterfeit lady, she saw Zhong Niangyao standing to bid farewell.

Despite Zhong Niangyao’s departure, she did not ask her to stay, nor did she rise to send her off.

For one thing, as an elder, not standing to see her guest out was still impeccable in terms of etiquette. Secondly, although she agreed to drive Li Jingming out of the Lai family, she still held a trace of dissatisfaction towards Zhong Niangyao’s attitude.

Zhong Niangyao showed no significant reaction to Old Mrs. Lai’s cold treatment. As long as her purpose for today was achieved, it was enough for her. As for everything else, it didn’t concern her at all.

Just as Zhong Niangyao was about to leave the drawing room, a servant came in with a man of such breathtaking beauty that he scarcely seemed human.

When she saw the true face of the visitor, Old Mrs. Lai jumped in surprise, “Third Young Master Lu.”

She had seen Lu Yichen before, but it had been a very long time ago. The last time she saw Lu Yichen was on the TV news. A man with such outstanding looks, if seen once, was impossible to forget.

Especially after that one occasion when Lu Yichen appeared on the news, causing such a sensation, it also displayed his power very vividly.

Who could have imagined that the weakest of the Lu Family was actually the one who kept the lowest profile!

Seeing Lu Yichen suddenly appear in her home, how could she not be shocked!

Yet, what truly shocked her to the point of speechlessness was the scene that followed.

“How did you get in?”

Zhong Niangyao’s face bore a smile, unlike the veiled courtesy smile from before; now, her smile was full of sincerity, clearly showing that she was truly happy at this moment.

She excitedly approached and directly threw herself into Lu Yichen’s embrace.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, a touch of tenderness flashed across Lu Yichen’s face. He extended his hand and stroked Zhong Niangyao’s hair, “I’ve been waiting for you for so long and didn’t see you come out, so I came in to find you!”

Old Mrs. Lai was so shocked her jaw nearly dropped; she couldn’t believe that two individuals from such different worlds were now together. She wasn’t blind and could not fail to see that the interaction between these two was filled with pink, romantic bubbles. It was clear that in front of her were Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, a young couple deeply in love.
