The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 540 - Chapter 540 Chapter 540 Drastic Changes

Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Drastic Changes Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Drastic Changes Other people facing such a situation couldn’t help feeling a bit awkward.

But, after all, it was a matter between the young couple; it was better for outsiders like them not to get involved.

Because of Yu Manyun’s return, the originally pleasant atmosphere had turned weird, and naturally, they couldn’t continue discussing other matters.

The people from the Lian Family naturally felt it was not right to stay any longer, so after arranging the next meeting to discuss further, they stood up and took their leave.

As for Long Jiarui, she naturally stood up to leave as well. Now that she was the future daughter-in-law of the Lu Family, of course, she had to go back. Moreover, she had to escort Zhong Niangyao home first!

Time flew by, and the day of Lu Yichen’s and Zhong Niangyao’s engagement drew increasingly near.

The entire Zhong Family was pervaded with a tense atmosphere, but it was also filled with joy. Even the servants seemed to walk with a spring in their step.

However, as the person involved, Zhong Niangyao didn’t seem busy at all, and her face did not show a trace of nervousness. If someone didn’t know better, they would think she was an outsider rather than the one getting engaged.

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, of course, placed great importance on this engagement banquet. But their advanced age was an obvious factor, and with age, it became harder to keep up with the energy required. Therefore, most of the preparations were handed over to Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin.

Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin were more than happy to help.

This alliance between the Zhong and Lu families was very important for the Zhongs. It was an alliance, but deep down, they all knew that the Zhongs were definitely marrying up by joining with the Lu family.

Organizing this engagement banquet meant coordinating with the Lu family. This would provide them with an opportunity to expand their own network of contacts, which was definitely only beneficial for them.

Moreover, they even felt that this was a sign from Old Sir hinting at passing the responsibility of the Zhong family to their branch, which made them even more diligent in their preparations.

As the daughter, Zhong Mengfan was naturally pulled in to help. Even though she already worked at Zhong Group, what she did was just minor tasks, so taking time off work didn’t affect much.

“Nianyao, this is an album sent from the Lu family.”

Holding an album in her hand, Zhong Mengfan walked towards the garden and spoke to Zhong Niangyao, who was reading in the corridor, with a smile, “Pick out what you like, and we can reply to the Lu family.”

As she spoke, Zhong Mengfan gracefully took a seat opposite Zhong Niangyao and passed the album over.

Zhong Niangyao took the album but didn’t flip through it immediately. Instead, she looked at Zhong Mengfan with a beaming smile and said, “Cousin Mengfan, why do I feel that you’ve changed a lot lately?”

As she spoke, her gaze on Zhong Mengfan became profound, “It seems to me that you’re completely different from before.”

“Really?” Zhong Mengfan’s expression didn’t change, still smiling gently, even her eyes full of smiles, with no trace of insincerity.

“People change when they experience more. You know what happened to me back then. If I hadn’t changed after that incident, wouldn’t it be foolish?”

“Oh, it seems like a good thing then!” Zhong Niangyao nodded and continued smilingly, “But, too much change sometimes makes people suspicious that it’s not well-intentioned, or even that–”

“The person is no longer the same.”

Her sharp gaze settled on Zhong Mengfan, those golden eyes sparkling with intensity, as if they could see through Zhong Mengfan’s facade and into the soul hidden within.

Faced with Zhong Niangyao’s gaze, Zhong Mengfan remained open and composed, while a trace of confusion appeared on her face, “Nianyao, what do you mean by that? Are you suspecting that I am not myself?”

As she spoke, she frowned slightly, “I know we had our share of conflicts before. But after all, those were just little squabbles between sisters.”

“After going through so much, we’ve both grown up. I’ve come to see that there’s nothing sisters can’t get past. That’s why I’ve changed so much since my return. I didn’t expect it to give you all these wild ideas.”

“Heh, Cousin Mengfan, there’s no need to be so anxious,” Zhong Niangyao withdrew her sharp gaze, shaking her head with a chuckle, and continued, “Besides, I never said I doubted you were not you, it was just an offhand remark.”

Zhong Mengfan frowned, “Nianyao, I know we indeed had our disagreements in the past, but that’s all in the past. If you’re still holding onto those things, I can apologize to you.”

“But in the future, I hope we can live in harmony. I believe that’s what Grandpa and Grandma would like to see.”

“Of course,” Zhong Niangyao nodded.

“Then you take a look first!”

Zhong Mengfan stood up, her demeanor returning to its usual state, “I still need to help my mother with some arrangements! Once you have made your choices, just mark them, and I’ll communicate with the Lu family.”

“Okay.”

After receiving Zhong Niangyao’s reply, Zhong Mengfan turned and went inside.

Watching Zhong Mengfan’s retreating figure, Zhong Niangyao squinted her eyes, a glint of murkiness passing through them, her expression carrying an inscrutable significance.

Even though it was the eve of her engagement, it didn’t bother Lu Yichen; he still frequently went out on dates with Zhong Niangyao.

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong didn’t show much displeasure towards this; on the contrary, they were happy about it.

In their view, this was a good thing for the young couple to cultivate their relationship.

So, on Saturday, Lu Yichen once again came to the Zhong Family home and took Zhong Niangyao away.

In the car–

Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Niangyao sitting next to him and asked with a smile, “Do you have a place in mind where you want to go? Or perhaps, visit Tongtian Bridge?”

Zhong Niangyao shook her head, “Not today, I’m in a good mood. Let’s just go on a date.”

Upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s response, Lu Yichen naturally had no reason to refuse.

As they chatted in the car, the vehicle headed towards the cinema.

In the middle of their conversation, Zhong Niangyao suddenly brought up Zhong Mengfan, “Yichen, can you help me look into Zhong Mengfan’s life abroad, in as much detail as possible? I feel that the changes in her have been too drastic. Such changes, no matter how I look at them, seem very illogical. I can’t quite articulate it, but there’s something odd about Zhong Mengfan.”
