The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 491 - Chapter 491 Chapter 491 Refusal to Agree

Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Refusal to Agree Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Refusal to Agree “Zhong Niangyao, do you really not care one bit about sisterly affection?” Zhong Mengxuan stood up and raised her voice, “Is it just a small favor now, and you refuse to help? Do you still have a conscience?”

“Mengxuan, sit down.” Li Yiqiu directly pulled Zhong Mengxuan down and then lowered her voice to scold her, “How can you speak like that? Nianyao is your sister, and talking like this is very hurtful to sisterly affection.”

“But I’m just telling the truth, where am I wrong?”

Although Zhong Mengxuan was pulled down to sit, there was still much unhappiness in her tone, “And you talk about sisterly affection, if there really was such a thing, how could she refuse to even help with such a small favor?”

Zhong Niangyao remained seated, as calm as ever, allowing Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan to play good cop and bad cop, without any expression on her face, just like an onlooker at a play.

Because of Zhong Niangyao’s composure, Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan couldn’t keep up their act for a moment.

Turning her head back to Zhong Niangyao, Li Yiqiu’s face was full of apology, “Nianyao, Mengxuan speaks without thinking, don’t take it to heart. In fact, she’s just anxious, that’s why she’s acting like this. You don’t know, recently, Lu Chenran has been somewhat cold to Mengxuan, and she’s feeling very insecure–”

“I know.”

Before Li Yiqiu could finish speaking, Zhong Niangyao directly cut her off, “Now that Lu Chenran has a new love, naturally he will neglect her. But, what does any of this have to do with me?”

Just two or three sentences rebutted Li Yiqiu so bluntly that she was almost unable to continue speaking.

After a moment of silence, Li Yiqiu spoke again, “Nianyao, can’t you just help Mengxuan as a favor? Besides, what I’m asking you to do isn’t bad, just to accompany her to this dinner event. For you, it’s an easy thing to do. But for Mengxuan, it could be her best chance.”

Zhong Niangyao looked up with a smile that was not quite a smile, her voice tinged with sarcasm, “Li Yiqiu, a face is a good thing; though you’ve already lost yours, picking it up and using it again is still possible.”

“Zhong Niangyao, what do you mean by that?” Zhong Mengxuan struggled to contain her inner anger, but her tone was still sharp, “If you don’t want to help me, that’s fine, but why do you have to insult my mom?”

“Why, don’t you know?” Zhong Niangyao scoffed, “And you, Zhong Mengxuan, how do you have the nerve to come here and talk like this?”

“Let’s not talk about what our relationship is for now. In the recent past, all these things you’ve done, don’t you have a clue in your hearts?”

When she said this, she turned her head to look at Li Yiqiu, “And you, have you forgotten what happened at Grandpa’s birthday banquet? The scars on Lu Yichen’s hands haven’t disappeared. I really don’t know where you get the face to make such a request.”

Li Yiqiu’s face showed embarrassment, but she had no way to refute Zhong Niangyao’s words.

Biting her lip, determination flashed in her eyes. She then stood up, walked straight to Zhong Niangyao, and dropped to her knees with a thud, “Nianyao, I know I did wrong, but none of this involves Mengxuan. She really likes Lu Chenran and doesn’t want to lose him. We have no other demands, just that Mengxuan and you appear before the Lu family. I promise, this is the last time. No matter what happens in the future, we absolutely won’t bother you again.”

Faced with Li Yiqiu’s sudden act of kneeling, Zhong Niangyao’s expression remained unchanged, and she didn’t even budge from her spot.

Her voice was cold, “Impossible. You just want to use my influence to secure a more significant place for Zhong Mengxuan by Lu Chenran’s side. But why should I help you?”

“If it’s really about family helping each other, then I want to ask you properly. What have you helped me with over these years? If you can even mention one thing, I might consider it.”

Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan racked their brains, their faces growing paler and paler, because they truly couldn’t recall anything.

In the past, they always felt that Zhong Mengxuan was a disgrace to the Zhong Family, chasing after an illegitimate child and losing all face for the Zhong Family. Even in front of others, they never defended Zhong Niangyao.

“How about it, can’t remember, can you?” Zhong Niangyao’s lips curved into a sarcastic smile, “That’s because you’ve never done such a thing. Your so-called family is nothing more than an excuse to get benefits from me.”

“Li Yiqiu, Zhong Mengxuan, nobody is a fool. Before you ask others, you’d better think about what you have done for them and whether you have the moral high ground to ask.”

Li Yiqiu knelt there and Zhong Mengxuan sat there, both looking not so great. They opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something, but seeing the mocking curve at the corner of Zhong Niangyao’s mouth, they found themselves unable to speak.

“I need to rest.”

With that, Zhong Niangyao issued a dismissal.

Zhong Mengxuan, out of indignation, directly pulled up Li Yiqiu, who was still kneeling, and said bitterly, “If you don’t want to help, then so be it, Zhong Niangyao. But I won’t forget the humiliation you gave me today. One day, I will return it all to you.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

Zhong Niangyao’s gaze shifted, her smile cold, “However, Zhong Mengxuan, I still advise you to figure out who your real enemy is and whether you can really contend with them. After all, the woman currently by Lu Chenran’s side is her arrangement.”

“It’s none of your business,” Zhong Mengxuan retorted through gritted teeth.

It was Li Yiqiu who, upon hearing these words, grabbed Zhong Mengxuan’s hand immediately, “What does that mean?”

“I’ll explain later.”

With that, Zhong Mengxuan pulled Li Yiqiu out of the room.

As she left, she forcefully shut the door, expressing her furious mood.

Watching Zhong Mengxuan’s petty behavior, Zhong Niangyao sneered and then moved forward to lock the door, planning to rest for a while.

As for Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan, she didn’t care about them at all.

On the other side, after leaving Zhong Mengxuan’s room, Li Yiqiu also dragged Zhong Mengxuan back to their rooms. However, it wasn’t to her own room but Zhong Mengxuan’s. Because she had many questions for Zhong Mengxuan, like the meaning behind the conversation she just had with Zhong Niangyao.
