The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 550 - Chapter 550 Chapter 550 Appearing Brazenly

Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Appearing Brazenly Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Appearing Brazenly Old Madam Lu didn’t know whether today’s event was arranged by Old Master Lu or was due to Lu Yichen’s face. But when she observed the grand scene, she felt uneasy inside.

From the beginning, she felt unhappy, yet she had to feign joy, which made her feel extremely stifled.

Thus, after she had just seen Lu Yichen’s performance, she couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark, which ended up making Old Master Lu angry.

Once it was confirmed that Old Madam Lu was awake, Old Master Lu took her hand again and began greeting the people who had gathered around.

In a spot unnoticed by anyone, Zhong Mengxuan swaggered into the banquet hall.

At this moment, she looked completely different from how she had in the resting room–exquisite makeup, expensive jewelry, and a well-fitted gown made her indistinguishable from other guests at the engagement party.

The security personnel at the door seemed to pay no attention or perhaps for some other reason, they didn’t even come forward to check or ask a few questions.

In this way, Zhong Mengxuan entered the banquet hall without drawing anyone’s attention.

She paraded smilingly in front of Lu Chenran but didn’t go up to greet him.

It wasn’t because she was particularly tactful or worried about others’ gazes, but simply because she didn’t want to disgust Lu Chenran.

Today, Lu Chenran was certainly attending with Long Jiarui; approaching him now would only make him think she was clueless and embarrass him.

She just needed to appear in front of Lu Chenran and let him know she was present at today’s engagement party.

This was to let both Lu Chenran and the main family of the Lu Family understand that no matter what, she was Zhong Niangyao’s cousin. Despite the significant conflict, they were still family, connected by bone and tendon.

This also helped her stabilize her position in front of Lu Chenran.

After making her presence felt, Zhong Mengxuan tactfully went elsewhere. However, she hadn’t walked far when someone grabbed her.

Turning around, she discovered the person wasn’t anyone else but her mother–Li Yiqiu.

“Mum, what are you doing?” Zhong Mengxuan exclaimed, “You really startled me by suddenly grabbing me like that. If I weren’t brave, I might have screamed just now. Then, I truly would have lost all face.”

Ignoring Zhong Mengxuan’s complaint, Li Yiqiu directly asked, “Let’s not talk about that now. Tell me first, why are you here?”

This morning, she had tentatively asked Zhong Niangyao about it. At the time, Zhong Niangyao was utterly resolute, with no intention of letting Zhong Mengxuan attend. Yet, here was Zhong Mengxuan, obviously having sneaked in.

“Why shouldn’t I be here!” Zhong Mengxuan responded as if it were obvious, “On such an important occasion today, as a member of the Zhong Family, it would be improper not to attend.”

“You know very well–” Li Yiqiu couldn’t help frowning and finally spoke helplessly, “You should leave quickly! The engagement party is about to start. If Niangyao sees you later, she will certainly have someone throw you out. Then, it will be embarrassing for everyone.”

While she spoke, she couldn’t help but reach out to pull Zhong Mengxuan away.

“I’m not leaving,” Zhong Mengxuan firmly shrugged off Li Yiqiu’s hand and said, “Stop pulling and tugging at me here, it’s embarrassing.”

Since she had come today, she obviously wasn’t afraid of Zhong Niangyao. At this moment, she also knew that it was unlikely Zhong Niangyao would attend today’s engagement party.

Although she didn’t know exactly what was on that blade, the person had said that even if it merely cut Zhong Niangyao’s skin slightly, it would make things very hard for her.

Just now, when she left the resting room, Zhong Niangyao didn’t even have the strength to chase after her, so she couldn’t possibly attend the engagement party later.

That’s why she dared to boldly show up here, unafraid of Zhong Niangyao finding out.

In any case, her presence today was merely to let Lu Chenran and his mother know she was attending.

As for whether Zhong Niangyao could attend on time, or even at all, that was none of her concern.

Listening to Zhong Mengxuan’s complaint, Li Yiqiu was truly angered, “You never act appropriately! You know full well that neither Old Sir nor Niangyao agreed to you coming today. By doing so without permission, if you’re exposed, you’ll be the one who looks bad.”

“There won’t be any problems.” Zhong Mengxuan was confidently assured, “Today Niangyao will not ask me to leave.”

Precisely speaking, she couldn’t possibly ask her to leave.

Seeing Zhong Mengxuan’s utterly nonchalant demeanor, entirely unwilling to leave, Li Yiqiu was so angry she was almost at a loss for words.

Li Yiqiu truly wanted Zhong Mengxuan to leave quickly, lest a conflict occur if Zhong Niangyao showed up and confronted her in public. That wouldn’t be good.

As if totally oblivious to Li Yiqiu’s worries, Zhong Mengxuan fluttered like a butterfly through the venue, looking relaxed and enjoying herself.

Time ticked away, and the moment for the banquet to officially start arrived, but the persons concerned, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, had not yet appeared.

Everyone was waiting for the main characters to attend.

Suddenly, some murmurs began in the banquet hall, everyone discussing why the stars of this engagement party hadn’t shown up yet, wondering if something had happened.

Both Old Master Lu and Old Master Zhong, being elderly and experienced, exchanged glances and quickly made a decision.

Old Master Lu stayed to reassure the guests, while Old Master Zhong led people towards the direction of the resting room.

Meanwhile, hidden among the guests, Zhong Mengxuan’s face bore a smug, relaxed smile.

However, her smile soon faded because she saw Old Master Zhong walking in from outside.

Following behind Old Master Zhong were today’s main characters–Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao.

Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, dressed splendidly and holding hands with smiles on their faces, walked in from outside and captivated everyone’s attention.

Such a dazzling couple, like the favored children of the heavens, merely standing there was enough to steal everyone’s focus, making it impossible not to be immersed in their allure.
