The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot -
Chapter 523 - Chapter 523 Chapter 523 The Real Zhong Niangyao
Chapter 523: Chapter 523: The Real Zhong Niangyao Chapter 523: Chapter 523: The Real Zhong Niangyao After Black and White Impermanence escorted Master Zeng’s ghost away, only Zhong Nianyao, Lu Yichen, and Meng Rou, who still lay limp on the ground unable to stand, remained in the room.
Now, without Master Zeng, Meng Rou faced Nianyao directly, her heart nearly reaching the peak of terror.
“Afraid?”
Nianyao looked at the cowering Meng Rou, a malicious smile curling at the corner of her mouth, “Why be afraid? Weren’t you the one who found me and brought me here?”
“Zhong Nianyao–” Meng Rou’s voice trembled, “You can’t kill me; there’s a child of Lu Yilei’s in my belly, and I am also the woman he loves most. If anything happens to me and the child, she won’t let you off.”
“Oh, indeed!”
As if reminded, Nianyao feigned a sudden realization, “If you hadn’t brought it up, I might have almost forgotten, you do have someone powerful to rely on!”
Before Meng Rou could feel relieved, Lu Yichen stepped forward and spoke indifferently, “Go ahead and do what you want to do. No matter what kind of backing she has, you needn’t mind it.”
Meng Rou suddenly looked up, shaking uncontrollably as she looked at Third Young Master Lu, “Third Young Master, no matter what, the one in my belly shares the Lu Family’s bloodline. Can’t you show some mercy for the sake of compassion?”
Lu Yichen didn’t even glance at Meng Rou; his eyes remained fixed on Nianyao, filled with indulgence and doting.
Nianyao lifted her head to look at Lu Yichen, then smiled radiantly before speaking, “Actually, I think she makes a good point. Why not take her back first, then inform Lu Yilei to come and fetch her? What do you think?”
Meng Rou, who had been limp on the ground, let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Nianyao’s words, her heart finally finding solid ground.
As long as Nianyao brought her before Lu Yilei, she was confident that she would live. Lu Yilei loved her so much; he would never stand by and watch her die. As long as she could survive, with the child still in her belly, she could continue to live a comfortable life.
Watching Meng Rou secretly rejoice, Nianyao’s lips curled into a profound smile.
Did Meng Rou really think that having Lu Yilei as her support would enable her to escape this calamity? How delusional. Had she forgotten the means she had used to make Lu Yilei fall in love with her? Furthermore, she seemed to have forgotten that what was in her belly was not a child, but a monster, neither human nor ghost.
Thinking of these things, Nianyao became quite eager to see the look of utter despair on Meng Rou’s face when all her hopes were shattered. That would surely be interesting.
Observing the mischievous smile on Nianyao’s face, Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow. He understood that Nianyao had her own plans.
He would not counter Nianyao’s intentions; instead, he ordered someone to pull Meng Rou to her feet and they headed straight back to the Lu Residence.
The car soon arrived at the Lu Residence. Nianyao looked at their destination and then turned her head to look at Lu Yichen beside her, her lips curling into a meaningful smile, “Why did you choose this place?”
Initially, she had thought Lu Yichen would take her directly to find Lu Yilei. To her surprise, they had brought her straight to the Lu Residence instead.
It must be said, such an arrangement truly pleased her heart!
“What’s wrong, is it not good?” Lu Yichen, raising an eyebrow, smiled and asked in return.
“No, you really do know me too well.”
After saying that, Zhong Niangyao pulled Lu Yichen’s head down and planted a kiss directly on his face. “Your arrangements are truly wonderful; this is your reward.”
Having said that, Zhong Niangyao let go of Lu Yichen and got out of the car first, without giving it another thought.
However, Lu Yichen remained seated, his face now sporting a rare, faint blush, his eyes brimming with such delight that it seemed almost ready to spill over.
He looked up, watching Zhong Niangyao, who had happily alighted from the vehicle, and his lips unconsciously curled into a shallow arc.
For some reason, he always felt that Zhong Niangyao’s personality seemed to have changed somewhat. Although it wasn’t obvious, it was still perceptible.
Just like the gesture she had just made–if it were the past, even if she was happy, Zhong Niangyao would not have taken such a proactive and outgoing approach. This rare initiative made his heartbeat quicken.
But even though her personality was gradually changing, for some reason, he had a vague feeling in his heart that this was the real character of Zhong Niangyao.
Or rather, this is what the real Zhong Niangyao should be like–outgoing, cheerful, and optimistic.
Thinking of this, a hint of confusion flashed in Lu Yichen’s eyes, and a touch of doubt arose in his heart. Why did he feel this way?
“Yichen, what are you doing?”
Seeing that Lu Yichen was slow to think about getting out of the car, Zhong Niangyao turned her head and couldn’t help but urge him, “What’s wrong?”
Her light voice broke through Lu Yichen’s reverie. He smiled at Zhong Niangyao and then got out of the car.
Inside the Lu Residence–
Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu were seated, but although they were a couple, their thoughts at this moment were completely different.
Old Master Lu was filled with concern because Lu Yichen’s actions that day had nearly caused a disturbance in the political and military realms of the Imperial Capital.
He was wondering what had happened to Lu Yichen to prompt such behavior. All he knew was that Lu Yichen was looking for someone. He was also willing to guess that the person he was looking for must be Zhong Niangyao. After all, in Lu Yichen’s heart, the only person with such significant influence was Zhong Niangyao. At the same time, he worried whether such turmoil might negatively affect Lu Yichen.
Beside him, Old Madam Lu was shocked and also faintly concerned. However, her concern was about the influence of Lu Yichen’s great capabilities on her sons.
Moreover, having witnessed Lu Yichen’s power once again, she did not feel happy but more agitated instead.
Especially now that Lu Yichen’s word had gathered so many people here, her displeasure intensified.
By what right did Lu Yichen command her and her sons!
But no matter how dissatisfied she was inside, at this moment, she could only suppress it all.
Because Old Master Lu was there, as long as he continued to stand on Lu Yichen’s side, no matter how much discontent she had, she could not vent it out. Moreover, she was also worried that Lu Yichen might retaliate against her biological sons.
