The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 526 - Chapter 526 Chapter 526 A Dilemma

Chapter 526: Chapter 526: A Dilemma Chapter 526: Chapter 526: A Dilemma “Just this once.”

Lu Yilei made up his mind and then spoke up, “I don’t care what she has done, but I’m begging you to let her go this time.”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Lu Yichen, “Third brother, I’m begging you. Just let Xiao Rou go! I promise, she won’t show up in front of you all ever again.”

Even now that he realized Meng Rou wasn’t as simple as he had imagined, he still couldn’t give her up. After all these years, she was the only girl he truly fell in love with.

“You fool,” Old Master Lu was so angry his chest hurt, “You know what kind of person Meng Rou is, and yet you’re still defending her here. Do you really lack a brain that much?”

Seeing Old Master Lu in discomfort, everyone quickly gathered around him.

Lu Yilei stepped forward, but looking at Meng Rou, who was still being held by two people and in a sorry state, he ultimately stepped back.

“Yilei, you rebellious child, are you trying to anger your father to death?” Old Madam Lu was also quite angry, “For such a promiscuous woman, you’re willing to neglect your own parents, aren’t you?”

Lu Yilei stood there, his face filled with difficulty, and for a while, he didn’t know what to do.

After Old Master Lu took his medication and regained his composure, he looked at Lu Yilei with sharp eyes and spoke resoundingly, “Lu Yilei, if you insist on defending a woman like Meng Rou, then from now on you are no longer my son. I have plenty of sons, even without you, I won’t feel any loss.”

“Dad!” Lu Yilei exclaimed in shock.

Because he could tell, unlike the threats made before, Old Master Lu was serious this time. If he really insisted on defending Zhong Niangyao, then Old Master Lu would truly disown him as his son.

For a moment, he found himself in a difficult position. On one side was family and his future, on the other was his love; he really didn’t know how to choose.

“Old Sir, don’t be angry,” Old Madam Lu quickly started to ease the situation, “Yilei didn’t mean to make you angry on purpose, he surely knows he’s wrong now. Don’t be too hasty, he’s still young and it’s inevitable that he may act impetuously at times. But he definitely won’t abandon us, his parents, and the family for a woman.”

Having said that, she turned her head to look at Lu Yilei and urged him quickly, “Yilei, why aren’t you coming over to apologize to your dad and promise you won’t deal with Meng Rou’s affairs and that you won’t meet with Meng Rou anymore?”

Lu Yilei stood there, his face showing painful struggle. Faced with Old Master Lu’s seriousness and Old Madam Lu’s urging, he was even more confused.

Just then, Zhong Niangyao suddenly spoke up, “Lu Yilei, do you really love Meng Rou that much? Then let me ask you a question, why did you fall in love with Meng Rou?”

Her sudden question caught everyone off guard.

No one had expected such an irrelevant question to arise in such a serious situation.

But Old Madam Lu was somewhat angry as she looked at Zhong Niangyao with a cold expression, “Nianyao, can you not bring up insignificant matters right now?”

She was very dissatisfied with Zhong Niangyao suddenly posing such a question.

Right now, it was the moment of choice for Lu Yilei. Zhong Niangyao saying these words, wasn’t she shaking Lu Yilei’s resolve? If Lu Yilei recalled the past of love with Meng Rou, who knew whether he would impulsively choose Meng Rou in the end!

Zhong Niangyao was just like Lu Yichen, always seeming to be more trouble than help in critical moments, a real curse.

“Why should Old Madam Lu be angry? I am asking Lu Yilei, not you.”

Facing Old Madam Lu’s anger, Zhong Niangyao’s face was unchanged, her gaze still on Lu Yilei, “Is it that difficult to answer?”

“No, I love Xiao Rou,” Lu Yilei unconsciously responded, “Also, I…”

As he tried to articulate why he loved Meng Rou, his brain suddenly seized up. He clearly loved Meng Rou deeply, thinking everything about her was wonderful.

But why was that? Now, he couldn’t even remember why he fell in love with Meng Rou. He only knew subconsciously that he deeply loved Meng Rou, but why? What exactly did he fall in love with about Meng Rou?

No matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn’t remember why he had fallen in love with her. It was as if… he had suddenly fallen in love with Meng Rou out of the blue.

At this moment, Meng Rou’s face was ashen, and she had given up struggling, enveloped by a sense of despair.

She felt that she might really be done for today.

Lu Yilei’s behavior had also made everyone present sense something was wrong.

Especially Old Master Lu, his piercing gaze landed on Lu Yilei then shifted to Meng Rou, a hint of contemplation flashing through his eyes.

“Can’t say it, can you?” Zhong Niangyao blinked and spoke with a touch of humor, “You see, even you can’t explain why you fell for her. So do you still think that you truly love her?”

Just as Lu Yilei was about to respond, Zhong Niangyao immediately cut in again, “Although it’s said that falling for someone doesn’t need a reason, there is always a cause for that momentary flutter of the heart, isn’t there! Even you can’t clarify the reason, dare you say you still love Meng Rou?”

Lu Yilei opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but then realized he didn’t know what to say.

He felt his whole being was fragmented; his emotions were telling him that he loved Meng Rou, but his reason was indicating that his love for Meng Rou was suspicious.

“Nianyao.”

Old Master Lu looked at Zhong Niangyao, his eyes narrowed, the gaze sharp and enlightened, “Did Meng Rou do something?”

It wasn’t just Old Master Lu; others had started noticing too. However, they had not yet considered this possibility.

Zhong Niangyao nodded and then looked back at Lu Yilei, raised her right hand to calculate, and then couldn’t help but let out a sigh, “Lu Yilei, you indeed have a person whom you truly love, but that person is not Meng Rou. The reason you feel you love Meng Rou now is that she has used an Evil Technique, transferring all the love you had for that girl onto herself.”

It was for this reason that Lu Yilei sometimes acted in ways that outsiders found hard to understand.
