The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 503 - Chapter 503 Chapter 503 Suspicion

Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Suspicion Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Suspicion The next morning, the Zhong Family had just finished breakfast when the butler came to report that Lady Long had arrived.

Upon hearing the title “Lady Long,” everyone was momentarily stunned. Then they quickly remembered that Third Young Master Lu’s wife was Lady Long, Long Jiarui.

Instantly, everyone’s expression turned somewhat peculiar. Zhong Mengxuan was Third Young Master Lu’s lover, and Long Jiarui was his wife. Now that Long Jiarui was coming to visit, it certainly didn’t seem like a good thing.

However, when they heard that Long Jiarui was here to see Zhong Niangyao, everyone’s gaze immediately fell on her.

Zhong Niangyao leisurely put down the milk in her hand, picked up a napkin, wiped her mouth, and then looked towards Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong before slowly starting, “Grandpa, Grandma, yesterday I had a delightful chat with Jiarui. Today she has invited me to visit the Long Family, so I won’t be coming back for dinner tonight.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and their looks towards Zhong Niangyao were filled with incredulity.

Due to Zhong Mengxuan’s actions, although they did not exactly become enemies with the Long Family, any interactions seemed unlikely. Unexpectedly, now Long Jiarui was inviting Zhong Niangyao over as a guest.

It all seemed like a fantasy. However, when it came to Zhong Niangyao, such surprising turn of events somehow became understandable, especially since she was soon to be engaged to Third Young Master Lu.

“Yaoyao, are you really sure–” Old Sir Zhong pondered for a moment, carefully choosing his words, then asked, “Are you going to visit the Long Family today?”

Even though Zhong Niangyao appeared nonchalant, as if it was a mere casual visit to a friend’s home, he was still somewhat worried. After all, given all that Zhong Mengxuan had done, how could the Long Family possibly show any goodwill?

Thus, no matter how he thought about it, Old Sir Zhong felt like this visit was akin to a banquet set with traps.

Seeing the subtle concern on Old Sir Zhong’s face, Zhong Niangyao smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, “Grandpa, I’m not lying to you. Jiarui and I really get along quite well. Besides, it’s just a visit to a friend’s home. I’ll be back after dinner tonight.”

“Dad, you don’t need to worry,” Zheng Silin spoke with a warm smile, “Nianyao and Third Young Master Lu are about to get engaged, and soon she will be Lady Long’s third aunt-in-law. Being an elder, she won’t be neglected.”

If it had been the frail Third Young Master Lu from before, it might have been a different story.

Now that Third Young Master Lu had shown his capabilities, his status within the Lu Family was certainly not low. Moreover, with how Old Master Lu greatly valued Zhong Niangyao, Long Jiarui would not likely trouble her if she wanted to have a good life in the Lu Family in the future.

Old Sir Zhong was not entirely reassured despite Zheng Silin’s words and continued to give Zhong Niangyao a lot of advice.

Zhong Niangyao found it somewhat amusing; anyone who didn’t know better might think she was about to enter a dragon pond and tiger cave!

However, listening to Old Sir Zhong’s endless admonitions warmed her heart.

She remembered her old master, the old man who often droned on tirelessly, instructing her over and over again, as if she was still just a child.

Zhong Niangyao got into Long Jiarui’s car and set off for the Long Family.

The car drove all the way to a vast estate.

The Dragon Family’s estate was vast, and although it could not compare to the Lu Family, it was still one of the top estates in the Imperial Capital.

Zhong Niangyao’s expression remained unchanged as she glanced around faintly intrigued.

“Our scenery is pretty good, isn’t it!” Long Jiarui said with a beaming smile, “We even had a master come to arrange it for us.”

“Indeed, it’s very nice.” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “Not only the scenery, but the feng shui is also very good. The master you consulted is truly skilled.”

Inside the Dragon Family’s estate, threads of spiritual energy could be faintly discerned. Although sparse, they still seemed exceedingly precious. Those living here would feel at ease and healthy, seldom suffering from illnesses like colds or fevers, and generally, they would also enjoy longevity.

Having gained Zhong Niangyao’s approval, Long Jiarui smiled even more joyously.

She knew of Zhong Niangyao’s capabilities, and Zhong Niangyao’s praise meant that the estate’s feng shui arrangement was genuinely commendable. However, despite such an auspicious layout, troubles still arose within the household.

Thinking of this, her previously high spirits were suddenly overshadowed.

Zhong Niangyao also noticed the change in Long Jiarui’s mood, but she said nothing.

After all, no amount of consolation was as effective as resolving the matter.

Soon, under Long Jiarui’s lead, Zhong Niangyao entered the main residence.

Long Jiarui brought Zhong Niangyao to the living room, where many people were already waiting.

Upon seeing his younger daughter return, Dragon Family Patriarch Long Yunfeng continuously peered behind her, “Jiarui, didn’t you say you were bringing a master? Why don’t I see you accompanied by one?”

The matriarch, Zhao Rongrong, also appeared eager, “Did the master not have time? We can personally visit him.”

Others were also waiting for Long Jiarui’s response.

As for Zhong Niangyao, standing beside Long Jiarui, she was unanimously ignored by everyone. After all, a young girl like her didn’t fit the image of a master.

Long Jiarui, knowing everyone had misunderstood, quickly pulled on Zhong Niangyao, “Dad, Mom, this is the master I was talking about–Zhong Niangyao. She’s really amazing! Yesterday, she helped me with a consultation, and she was spot on.”

“Nonsense,” Long Yunfeng’s face darkened, “Jiarui, at a time like this, you’re still fooling around. We’ve spoiled you, and now you actually bring up such matters as a joke.”

“You father is right.” Zhao Rongrong pulled Long Jiarui over, her face also showing displeasure, “You know, our whole family is distressed over your brother’s issue, and here you are making jokes. It’s no wonder your father is angry, apologize now!”

“Dad, Mom, I’m really not lying.” Long Jiarui was getting anxious, “Nianyao is truly talented, just let her have a look first!”

While speaking, she kept subtly observing changes in Zhong Niangyao’s expression, fearing that Zhong Niangyao might leave indignantly due to her parents’ words.
