The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 496 - Chapter 496 Chapter 496 Cant Leave

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Can’t Leave Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Can’t Leave Like Old Sir Zhong, Old Madam Zhong also held the family’s reputation in high regard. Zhong Mengxuan’s actions today were clearly meant to tarnish the Zhong Family’s name, how could she not be furious!

Especially in recent times, the wrongdoings committed by Zhong Mengxuan had been far too numerous, and she had completely lost hope in this granddaughter.

“Mom, this has nothing to do with Mengxuan, it was all me,” Li Yiqiu quickly intervened. “Lu Chenran has been neglecting Mengxuan recently, so I taught her this method to gain more favor in his heart.”

“This is all my fault, Mengxuan is still young, please forgive her this one time!”

“You… you…”

Zhong Mingyu had not expected this and was momentarily so angry that he was almost lost for words.

Hearing Li Yiqiu’s words, Old Sir Zhong looked at her intently then spoke, “Starting tomorrow, you move out.”

“Dad, this–” Zhong Mingyu was shocked.

Li Yiqiu suddenly looked up, a look of shock filling her eyes. Clearly, she had not anticipated that Old Sir would make such a decision.

She had just been discharged from the hospital, the injury still fresh from saving Zhong Mingyu. Thus, she believed that even if Old Sir was angry, he would not be too harsh. After all, she hadn’t fully recovered yet.

It was for this reason that she had taken all the blame herself, trying to shield Zhong Mengxuan. But never had she imagined that Old Sir would expel her from the house.

Old Sir glanced at Zhong Mingyu and said, “I have made my decision on this matter, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation. However, you can continue to live here. Little An will stay as well. Of course, if you choose to move out with Li Yiqiu, I have no objections.”

His words left Zhong Mingyu silenced.

Now it was Li Yiqiu who turned pale. She could hardly believe her own ears. Was she now being literally thrown out of the house?

“Dad, you can’t treat me like this, Little An is my son,” Li Yiqiu was desperate. “Isn’t this tearing us apart?”

“There’s no room for discussion on this matter,” Old Sir looked at Li Yiqiu then said, “We’ve already given you a chance before. Unfortunately, you did not cherish it, so you have only yourself to blame. As for Little An, he belongs to the Zhong family and staying with you, I fear he will turn into another Zhong Mengxuan.”

“No, Dad, I was wrong, I really was,” Li Yiqiu was genuinely scared now. “Please don’t drive me away! I promise–”

Before she could finish, she was abruptly interrupted.

“I don’t believe your promises,” Old Sir raised his hand. “This isn’t the first time. Last time you two didn’t divorce. This time, if you don’t want to, then just divorce!”

Upon hearing Old Sir’s words, every word Li Yiqiu was about to say dropped back down her throat. She had done so much, having nearly lost her life to preserve her marriage.

Old Sir’s gaze once again fell on Zhong Mengxuan, then he shook his head, “From now on, don’t come back to the Zhong Family.”

“Grandpa!” Zhong Mengxuan exclaimed in disbelief.

Even when he was previously angry, Grandpa had never said such words. Not to return to the Zhong Family ever again meant she was truly being driven out.

“Since you are now living at Lu Chenran’s villa, just don’t return here from now on,” Old Sir’s tone was icy, admitting no argument, “Of course, if there’s any significant family matter requiring your participation, we will notify you. But on ordinary days, just stay away.”

“If you want to see your father or anyone else, arrange to meet them outside.”

This was the greatest mercy he could muster, not outright declaring to drive Zhong Mengxuan out of the family.

Zhong Mingyu’s heart was already thoroughly disappointed with Zhong Mengxuan, so he didn’t speak up for her.

As for Li Yiqiu, she wanted to speak, but she realized she had no standing to do so. Now she too was a criminal, about to be thrown out.

Zhong Mengxuan scanned the people in the living room, trying to find anyone who could help her. But, she realized no one could.

In the end, her gaze fell on Zhong Niangyao, a flicker of hope kindling in her eyes.

But before she could speak, it seemed her intention was guessed.

Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhong Mengxuan and spoke indifferently, “Don’t expect me to plead for you; I don’t have such a big heart. Our relationship is not that good either.”

Zhong Mengxuan was utterly disappointed, she turned to Old Sir and Old Madam, her eyes red and filled with resentment, “This is unfair. Grandpa, Grandma, is it just because I attended a dinner that you want to drive me out? Are you trying to kill me?”

“Just going for a meal?” Old Madam looked at Zhong Mengxuan showing no remorse and her face darkened, “Do you even realize what you did today?”

“What is your relationship with Lu Chenran, don’t you know? The commotion you caused today was obvious. But did you ever consider how your uninvited presence blackened the face of our Zhong family?”

“So what?” Zhong Mengxuan choked out, “In the past, didn’t Zhong Niangyao do many more embarrassing things? Why didn’t you hold her accountable and drive her out then?”

Hearing Zhong Mengxuan suddenly bringing up the foolish acts committed by the original owner before her arrival, Zhong Niangyao was indeed a bit embarrassed.

However, as long as she wasn’t embarrassed, the awkwardness belonged to others.

“Back then, even if Niangyao liked Li Jingming, she did not disgrace our Zhong family. Moreover, at that time, Li Jingming was still single. She never interfered as a third party,” Old Madam spoke evenly. “If you don’t want to be driven out, you can move back into the Zhong Family residence, and cleanly break off with Lu Chenran.”

“Then you’ll still be the Second Lady of the Zhong Family.”

Hearing Old Madam suggesting she break off with Lu Chenran, Zhong Mengxuan was stunned, then said no more. She had never considered leaving Lu Chenran; in fact, she was completely unable to.
