The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 492 - Chapter 492 Chapter 492 Attach Importance

Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Attach Importance Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Attach Importance “The enemy that Zhong Niangyao spoke of, who exactly is it?” Li Yiqiu stared intently at Zhong Mengxuan, “Tell me honestly, so I can think of a way to help you.”

Originally, Zhong Mengxuan hadn’t wanted to speak, but under Li Yiqiu’s oppressive gaze, she finally opened her mouth, “It’s Lu Chenran’s mother.”

“What?”

After hearing Zhong Mengxuan’s response, Li Yiqiu only felt a wave of dizziness. She braced her hand on the arm of the sofa, it took her a good while to feel better, and then she reached out and tightly grabbed Zhong Mengxuan’s hand, speaking, “Are you telling the truth? Who told you this?”

“It was Zhong Niangyao who told me before,” Zhong Mengxuan said, looking down.

She only said it was Zhong Niangyao who told her, but didn’t specify whether it was true or false. However, from her attitude, it was clear it was true. At least, she had already acknowledged this fact at the bottom of her heart.

“How could this be?” Li Yiqiu lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly, “How could it be her? Isn’t she Lu Chenran’s mother? With Lu Chenran already married, why would she seek another woman for him?”

As she was speaking, it was as if she suddenly thought of something, she abruptly looked at Zhong Mengxuan, and then spoke, “What did you actually do?”

No mother would look for another woman for her son while her daughter-in-law was pregnant. Especially since Lu Chenran’s wife, Long Jiarui, was the treasured daughter of the Long Family.

Even if Lu Chenran’s mother was insensitive, she wouldn’t do something like this. Especially since she came from a prestigious family, she should disdain such actions even more.

The only explanation was that Lu Chenran’s mother, her target was Zhong Mengxuan. Because aside from his wife Long Jiarui, the only other woman close to Lu Chenran was Zhong Mengxuan. This decision to bring in a woman was obviously related to the woman by Lu Chenran’s side.

Watching Li Yiqiu’s anxious manner, Zhong Mengxuan began to divulge everything about her previous encounter with Madam Lu.

After listening to Zhong Mengxuan’s account, Li Yiqiu felt an even greater headache coming on. Now, she was doubting how she had raised Zhong Mengxuan, letting her become as foolish as she was now.

Offending anyone was fine, but she had to offend Lu Chenran’s mother–how was she to live her days in the future! It would be somewhat better if Zhong Mengxuan was Lu Chenran’s legally wedded wife. But unfortunately, she was just an unrecognized lover.

“I didn’t do it on purpose,” Zhong Mengxuan pouted, “If it weren’t for Lu Chenran’s mother going too far, I wouldn’t have fought back, and I would have honored our promise.”

“You–” Li Yiqiu pointed at Zhong Mengxuan, starting to speak but not knowing quite what to say.

After a long while, she lowered her hand and sighed deeply, “Forget it, now that things have already turned out this way, there’s no use in pursuing the past anymore. What’s most important now is to think of a way to solidify your position in Lu Chenran’s heart. Then, you need to get pregnant as soon as possible.”

“If you have truly decided on Lu Chenran for the rest of your life and are determined to stay even without a recognized status, then you should have a child for him. With a child, your connection can never be severed.”

“But, if you are still unclear about it now, then don’t rush into having a child, to avoid delaying your future.”

“I know,” Zhong Mengxuan nodded, then a trace of irritation appeared on her face, “But that Zhong Niangyao really is too cruel. All I wanted was to join them for a meal, but she rejected me so callously, without any consideration for sisterly affection.”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore,” Li Yiqiu spoke directly, “Lean your ear in.”

Looking at Li Yiqiu’s secretive demeanor, Zhong Mengxuan didn’t say anything and leaned in.

Li Yiqiu whispered a few words in Zhong Mengxuan’s ear, and immediately, Zhong Mengxuan’s complexion visibly improved, her eyes brightening considerably.

However–

After Li Yiqiu finished speaking, Zhong Mengxuan was somewhat skeptical, “Can this really work? What if–”

“There are no what-ifs,” Li Yiqiu looked at Zhong Mengxuan, earnestly speaking, “This is your only chance.”

Zhong Mengxuan bit her lip, and finally nodded, speaking, “Mom, don’t worry! I know what to do now.”

In the following days, Zhong Niangyao stayed home and didn’t go out.

As for Lu Yichen, if the mountain won’t come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain. He persisted in living by this phrase, visiting the Zhong Family nearly every day.

Even Old Sir Zhong joked that they hadn’t gained a grandson-in-law, but rather married one off.

Lu Yichen wasn’t upset by this; instead, he was quite happy.

In the blink of an eye, the day agreed upon with the Lu Family had arrived.

Old Master Zhong, Old Madam Zhong, and the members of the main branch of the family were all prepared. However, before they set off, there was an additional person–Lin Wanrou.

Although Zhong Jinghao and Lin Wanrou’s engagement was almost decided, they were not yet married, so Zhong Niangyao’s matter hadn’t been shared with Lin Wanrou.

But, Zhong Niangyao herself proposed to have Lin Wanrou join.

It wasn’t because she liked Lin Wanrou that much, but rather because Lin Wanrou would be Zhong Jinghao’s fiancee and good things were close at hand for them.

For such a major event, to conceal it from Lin Wanrou was understandable, but ultimately not quite right.

It was also to give face to Zhong Jinghao, so in the end, they decided to call Lin Wanrou along.

Lin Wanrou’s face was always adorned with a light smile, she seemed quite happy. Although she only knew they were meeting her boyfriend’s family to finalize the engagement, she didn’t know who Zhong Niangyao’s boyfriend was. Nevertheless, this didn’t prevent her from being pleased.

For such an occasion, if the Zhong Family was willing to include her, it showed their regard for her. Not yet married, and already able to participate in such an important event of the Zhong Family, how could she not be delighted?

Everyone showed great importance to this meeting, except for Zhong Niangyao herself, who seemed to feel no nerves.

As scheduled, they arrived at the restaurant, got out of the car, and as the party entered, someone immediately came to guide them inside.

Lin Wanrou followed by Zhong Jinghao’s side, her heart churning like stormy seas. She couldn’t help but tug at Zhong Jinghao’s sleeve and quietly asked, “Jing Hao, who exactly is Niangyao’s boyfriend? Why would the two families choose to meet here?”

It wasn’t because the restaurant was particularly luxurious, but because it was the venue for state banquets.
