The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 551 - Chapter 551 Chapter 551 Panic

Chapter 551: Chapter 551 Panic Chapter 551: Chapter 551 Panic As Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao made their entrance, everyone in attendance began to applaud.

The ceremony proceeded smoothly, and on the stage, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao both wore happy smiles.

The people below the stage also offered their sincerest blessings to the newly engaged couple.

Only Zhong Mengxuan, the moment she saw Zhong Niangyao appear, felt as if her blood had frozen, paralyzing her and unable to move. Her breathing slowed considerably, staring intently at Zhong Niangyao on the stage, her complexion turning deathly pale.

What on earth was happening? Why was Zhong Niangyao able to attend the engagement party? That person had clearly said that once Zhong Niangyao came into contact with that thing, she definitely wouldn’t be able to attend the engagement party.

But now, not only had Zhong Niangyao appeared, she also seemed to have nothing wrong with her at all. What on earth was going on?

Just a moment ago in the resting room, Zhong Niangyao had appeared to lack the strength even to chase her, so how could it be that now she seemed perfectly fine?

At this time, Zhong Mengxuan couldn’t help but recall what she had done in the resting room, and a sense of panic began to spread within her.

She dared not imagine how Zhong Niangyao would take revenge on her. Just a moment ago, Zhong Niangyao had wanted to call the police. What about now? Would Zhong Niangyao still call the police?

The more she thought about it, the more panic and fear grew in her heart. What she wanted most now was to leave this place, to flee from Zhong Niangyao, as if by doing so she could avoid everything.

However, at this time, she discovered that her position was right across from Lu Chenran. Lu Chenran glanced in her direction from time to time, his attention seemingly fixed on her.

If she suddenly left at this time, it would certainly arouse suspicion. All her plans would be for naught.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.

Now she began to regret that after making a round in front of Lu Chenran just now, she should have left quickly, instead of continuing to stay here and finding herself in a difficult situation.

Zhong Mengxuan felt a turmoil within her heart. When she accidentally looked up, she saw Zhong Niangyao smile at her.

Her heart did not feel a trace of warmth, but rather an icy chill surged up from the soles of her feet. She felt like prey eyed by a malevolent spirit, almost to be devoured in the next instant.

Zhong Mengxuan couldn’t help but take two steps back and bumped into someone behind her, almost toppling over together.

The person behind her muttered a few curses at Zhong Mengxuan and upon realizing that Zhong Mengxuan had no reaction, they cursed under their breath and moved a few steps away.

Li Yiqiu had been paying attention to Zhong Mengxuan all along and naturally noticed her unusual behavior. After speaking to her husband, she quickly approached Zhong Mengxuan, “Mengxuan, are you alright?”

From the moment Zhong Mengxuan had appeared at the banquet, Li Yiqiu sensed something was off. However, because Zhong Mengxuan was so stubborn and wouldn’t listen to her, there wasn’t much she could do.

She had already found Zhong Mengxuan’s confidence just moments before peculiar.

Later on, when the engagement party’s main characters, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, had yet to appear, she had closely observed Zhong Mengxuan’s reaction and noticed that Zhong Mengxuan had been calm and collected as if not surprised at all.

At that time, she had a very bad feeling in her heart. Now, seeing Zhong Mengxuan’s shock and fear after Zhong Niangyao appeared, her sense of ominous premonition grew stronger.

She knew that Zhong Mengxuan must have done something; otherwise, she wouldn’t be as panicked as she was now.

However, in such a situation, it really wasn’t convenient for her to ask in detail.

Leaning against Li Yiqiu, Zhong Mengxuan barely managed to support herself. Her hand clutched Li Yiqiu’s wrist tightly as if it provided some support, preventing her from becoming too flustered.

Having completed all the segments of the ceremony successfully, Zhong Niangyao caught a glimpse of the shocked Zhong Mengxuan below the stage. A flicker of indistinct gloom passed through her eyes, followed immediately by a meaningful smile directed at Zhong Mengxuan.

Indeed, upon seeing her smile, Zhong Mengxuan completely lost her composure.

Thanks to Zhong Mengxuan, this engagement banquet was indeed almost ruined.

The time rewinds to the resting room just moments ago–

After her wrist was cut by Zhong Mengxuan, although the wound was very minor, Zhong Niangyao felt the world spin around her. She staggered for a moment before steadying herself.

Then, she barely managed to support her body and sat down at the edge of the sofa.

She didn’t know what Zhong Mengxuan had applied to the blade that cut her, but at that moment she felt so dizzy that she couldn’t even stand steadily.

Apart from that, she didn’t feel anything else. And she could even sense that her powers were still usable.

If an enemy were to come in now, she could still turn them to dust with just a lift of her hand. Despite her instability, she wasn’t completely helpless.

But before she had a chance to figure out what was happening, a series of strange visions began to flash through her mind.

These visions were so intense they felt as though she had indeed experienced them.

Holding her head, she tried to clear these images from her mind, but it was futile and only plunged her into deeper pain.

Lu Yichen felt something was amiss while at the banquet hall and quickly headed to the resting room.

Long before he got close, he sensed a strong surge of power. His first thought was that something must have happened to Zhong Niangyao.

Without any hesitation, he immediately pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as he entered, he saw Zhong Niangyao in agony, leaning against the sofa, clutching her head and emitting low moans of pain.

Moreover, Zhong Niangyao’s golden pupils were slowly being overtaken by bright red, and her aura was uncontrollably emanating. If someone else had been there, they would likely have been overwhelmed by this uncontrollable, powerful presence.

He even thought he saw behind Zhong Niangyao the immense shadow of Jiutian’s tails.

Seeing Zhong Niangyao like this, he couldn’t help but recall the time when she, pushed to the brink by the fox spirit, also had nine tails appear behind her.

A flicker of gloom passed his eyes, and without any hesitation, he immediately used his power to seal the aura inside and outside of the resting room right there.
