The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 488 - Chapter 488 Chapter 488 Wan Family

Chapter 488: Chapter 488 Wan Family Chapter 488: Chapter 488 Wan Family Lu Yichen stretched out his hand and touched Zhong Niangyao’s hair, a doting smile on his face, “Since you’ve already figured it out, don’t think too much about it.”

“I know,” Zhong Niangyao said with a smile, a hint of unnoticed confidence in her eyes, “I am who I am, there won’t be any changes.”

Facing that unknown part of herself, when she became aware of it, she felt no worry, only confusion. She never worried that it was someone else, nor did she worry about her consciousness dissipating. Because deep within her heart, she had a feeling that it was also the true her.

“By the way,” Zhong Niangyao suddenly asked, as if she had thought of something, “that haunted house in the amusement park, it’s not the first time something like this has happened, right?”

Judging by the Enchanting Demon’s manner, it seemed this wasn’t its first time doing such things there.

Places like haunted houses inherently have a strong yin energy, even if artificially created. The dim lighting, people’s frights, and the dark, damp environment, always tend to attract unclean entities.

That was probably why the Enchanting Demon chose such a place!

Plus, in such an environment, people are always in a state of high tension. Suddenly encountering such incidents, there was no time to think further, only to swallow down the script set by the Enchanting Demon.

In the end, those who killed each other in madness left behind tremendous resentment before they died, providing immense nourishment for the Enchanting Demon and making it increasingly stronger.

“Indeed.” Lu Yichen nodded, “Over the past few years, several such incidents have occurred. However, the Enchanting Demon is clever. After these people kill each other, in reality, they all appear to have been scared to death. Even forensic autopsies can’t find anything unusual.”

“Moreover, the Enchanting Demon sometimes also creates accidents, causing these people to appear in other mishaps.”

It was like shearing a sheep that has been caught.

“But even after so many accidental deaths due to fright, this haunted house shouldn’t continue operating, right?” Zhong Niangyao frowned, “Is there some trickery involved here?”

“The major shareholder of this amusement park is the Wan Family.” Lu Yichen spoke calmly, “The relevant authorities are wary of the Wan Family, so after fining them some money, they allowed it to continue operations.”

“The Wan Family?” Zhong Niangyao raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Niangyao with a meaningful expression, “My mother’s maiden name is Wan.”

Zhong Niangyao understood, then chuckled and said, “So it’s Old Mrs. Lai’s maternal family! But, I think after this ordeal, the haunted house in this amusement park probably won’t continue, right?”

“Not just this haunted house, but the amusement park as well,” Lu Yichen said calmly, “So many incidents have occurred, none have been reported, and there has been no rectification. A number of related personnel will be held accountable.”

Hearing Lu Yichen’s words, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but laugh softly, “Old Madam Lu must really hate me now!”

But then again, even without this incident, Old Madam Lu wasn’t particularly fond of her.

After one more examination the next day, Zhong Niangyao finally received the doctor’s permission to be discharged.

After leaving the hospital, Lu Yichen drove her back to the Zhong Family.

When she left the house yesterday, she hadn’t expected such events. Therefore, yesterday, she just had a phone call with Old Sir Zhong, telling him there were some emergencies.

Thinking about it, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong must be quite worried about her now; it’s better to go home early, explain everything clearly, and reassure the elderly.

Upon reaching the Zhong Family home, Zhong Niangyao didn’t invite Lu Yichen in but asked him to go back and rest as soon as possible. She had spent the previous night in the hospital, and Lu Yichen had stayed the night there as well.

She was fine, sleeping in the hospital bed. Lu Yichen, however, had it worse, sleeping on the sofa. He disliked that the caregiving bed was too small. So, having not slept well the whole night, he must be very tired by now.

Lu Yichen didn’t insist on entering, left a farewell kiss, watched Zhong Niangyao go in, then departed.

Once Zhong Niangyao entered the living room, she saw Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong waiting there, their eyes brightening upon seeing her.

She wasn’t surprised by their reaction. What surprised her more were the other two people in the living room. It was none other than Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan.

She raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but not overly so.

Li Yiqiu had ended up not divorcing Zhong Mingyu, so it wasn’t a surprise that she had returned to the Zhong Family.

She wasn’t too worried about living under the same roof with her. Not to mention, she spent most of her time traveling outside. Her capabilities were evident, and Li Yiqiu couldn’t harm her covertly.

Moreover, after what happened last time, Li Yiqiu definitely wouldn’t dare do anything to her. Otherwise, if she annoyed the grandparents too much, it really would end in divorce next time.

By then, there would be no such coincidental accidents like this time.

However, even though Li Yiqiu had returned to the Zhong Family, Zhong Niangyao didn’t have much interest in dealing with her. Thus, she pretended not to see these two and went straight to Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong.

“Grandpa, Grandma, I’m back.”

After checking her over and seeing that Zhong Niangyao was perfectly fine and looked well, they could finally set their minds at ease.

Old Madam Zhong spoke, “Yaoyao, it’s still best not to stay out overnight in the future.”

“I know,” Zhong Niangyao nodded obediently, “It was just some emergencies that made me stay out overnight yesterday. It won’t happen again.”

Having received Zhong Niangyao’s assurance, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong both nodded, indicating they were reassured.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort disrupted the warm scene.

The snort came from Zhong Mengxuan’s mouth as she looked disdainfully at Zhong Niangyao. Although she didn’t speak, her attitude said it all.

“Zhong Mengxuan, if you don’t want to come back, then go back to your villa area,” Old Sir Zhong said sternly, “If you want to stay, then stop making these sarcastic remarks. We’re not in the mood to deal with your attitude.”

Hearing Old Sir Zhong’s words, Zhong Mengxuan couldn’t help but respond, “Grandpa, the one staying out all night is Zhong Niangyao, why are you venting your anger on me? Is that necessary?”
