The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 556 - Chapter 556 Chapter 556 Acknowledge

Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Acknowledge Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Acknowledge “Zhong Niangyao, get the surveillance footage now!” Zhong Mengxuan became righteous and indignant, “I must clear my own name in this matter.”

Her justice-filled demeanor made it impossible to doubt her words.

At that moment, Zhong Mengxuan was quite pleased with herself. She wasn’t foolish; how could she allow the surveillance to ruin her after knowing it was in the lounge?

Before attending the engagement party, she had already found a way to have the footage deleted.

Clearly aware of the surveillance, if she hadn’t done anything, she would have been a fool. As long as the footage was gone, even if the police were called, she wouldn’t be afraid.

Thinking of this, when she looked at Zhong Niangyao, her eyes involuntarily carried a trace of smugness.

“Okay!” Zhong Niangyao raised an eyebrow and then nodded, “But, we don’t need to bring someone in, I have a way to view it directly here!”

While speaking, Zhong Niangyao walked towards the dressing table where there was incredibly a camera placed, “This camera has been on all the time, recording everything that happened in the lounge. Even our conversation right now should have been recorded.”

As she spoke, Zhong Niangyao picked up the camera, smirked at Zhong Mengxuan, and continued, “We can just watch the playback directly, isn’t that more convenient?”

“This–” Zhong Mengxuan’s breath halted for a moment, and panic resurfaced in her heart.

All along, she had thought that in this lounge, there were only the cameras above. She had never imagined that there would be a camera placed on the table in the lounge.

If she had known earlier, if she had known–

She would have definitely taken the camera with her when she left.

Thinking about this, Zhong Mengxuan’s breathing became hurried. She wanted to stop Zhong Niangyao’s actions and destroy the camera in Zhong Niangyao’s hands.

But, all these were just thoughts; under the current circumstances, she couldn’t do anything.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Mengxuan tried to calm her anxious heart, constantly telling herself not to worry, there was absolutely no need to worry.

Zhong Niangyao was bluffing her, it must be. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Just when she managed to delete the surveillance footage, Zhong Niangyao brought out a camera.

“Let’s appreciate what Zhong Mengxuan has done!” Zhong Niangyao said with a light laugh, “Originally, this camera was only placed here by someone in charge of recording the engagement party, meant to capture some behind-the-scenes footage. But unexpectedly, it recorded some surprising scenes!”

While talking, Zhong Niangyao turned on the camera, and the footage appeared. It was startlingly a video of Zhong Niangyao playing with her phone alone in the lounge.

The camera was not big, so only a few people could be seen clearly–Old Master Lu, Old Madam Lu, and Old Sir Zhong, Old Madam Zhong.

Others could only see a bit of the footage.

It was unclear whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, but Zhong Mengxuan could perfectly see the video.

As the footage started playing back, all of Zhong Mengxuan’s psychological defenses collapsed in an instant. She couldn’t continue convincing herself that Zhong Niangyao was just pretending.

As the video continued playing, Zhong Mengxuan couldn’t take it, and quickly stepped forward. Without anyone noticing, she grabbed the camera, raised it, and then violently smashed it on the ground.

“Don’t watch anymore.”

Instantly, the camera broke into two pieces, the screen shattered and immediately darkened, and all the footage stopped abruptly.

Nobody expected Zhong Mengxuan to act this way.

For a moment, everyone was somewhat taken aback. However, soon after coming to their senses, the look everyone gave Zhong Mengxuan had drastically changed.

Initially, there was only suspicion toward Zhong Mengxuan, but now it was almost certain. If Zhong Mengxuan had done nothing wrong, then why would she smash the camera? It was clearly an act of guilt.

“It seems you are admitting to what you’ve done,” Zhong Niangyao spoke calmly, “Is this a confession without coercion?”

“Yes, I did it.”

“I just wanted to kill you, so what? Zhong Niangyao, you should have died long ago, not stayed in this world to trouble me.”

At that moment, Zhong Mengxuan had no more reservations.

By now, everything about her was nearly completely exposed. Whether it be her strenuously concealed relationships with the Zhong Family and Zhong Niangyao, or the things she had done before. She was done for, she was truly done for.

After today, there would be no place for her by Lu Chenran’s side, and she couldn’t return to the Zhong Family either.

At such a point, she was practically resigned to despair.

“What an unfortunate family!”

Although it had been known for a while, hearing Zhong Mengxuan admit it was still a big shock for Old Sir Zhong. His breath quickened, and he clutched his chest.

“Old man,” Old Madam Zhong exclaimed.

Zhong Niangyao rushed forward in a few quick steps, said nothing, and directly pressed a few points on Old Sir Zhong’s body.

After the last press, Old Sir Zhong’s originally rapid breath had calmed down, his previously flushed face returned to normal, and he looked much better than before.

Old Sir Zhong felt it most profoundly; his chest felt much lighter, no longer the painful stabs from before.

Zhong Mingyu stepped forward and slapped Zhong Mengxuan on the face, “You evil girl, what have you done?”

The sudden slap left Zhong Mengxuan momentarily unable to react.

The pain on her cheek brought her swiftly back to reality. When she looked at Zhong Mingyu, there was even a hint of hatred, “You hit me, you dare to hit me.”

“That’s right, it was you,” Zhong Mingyu said, breathing heavily, his demeanor showing he was quite angered, “You even thought about murder, what else could you not do?”

“What does it have to do with you?” Zhong Mengxuan’s attitude was very cold, “You’ve already stopped caring about me, what I do has nothing to do with you. What right do you have to hit me? You don’t want to care about me, yet you want to pontificate in front of me. Someone like you has no right to judge me!”

Zhong Mingyu was left nearly speechless by Zhong Mengxuan’s words.

He raised his hand, his finger pointing at Zhong Mengxuan trembling.
