The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 572 - Chapter 572 Chapter 572 Agree

Chapter 572: Chapter 572: Agree Chapter 572: Chapter 572: Agree After Zhong Mengfan regained consciousness, Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin hadn’t spoken a word or even approached to show any concern.

As soon as Zhong Jinghao and Zhong Mengfan’s figures had disappeared around the corner of the stairs, the couple exchanged glances.

Then, Zheng Silin couldn’t help but speak up, “Nianyao, this is Meng Fan, right?”

Although she asked this, by looking at Meng Fan’s arrogant and disdainful demeanor, she was quite certain that she was seeing her own daughter. However, with the comparison to earlier, her feelings were still somewhat complex.

Zhong Nianyao looked at Zheng Silin, raised her eyebrows slightly, and spoke with a smile that was not quite a smile, “Yes, great-aunt, you know best what kind of temperament your own daughter has. Couldn’t you tell just now if that was your own daughter or not, or are you saying–”

She paused for a moment, then continued, “Great-aunt, do you prefer the one who occupied Zhong Mengfan’s body earlier?”

After hearing Zhong Nianyao’s words, Zheng Silin’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, “What nonsense are you talking about? How could I think that way? She’s my own daughter!”

Zhong Nianyao shrugged nonchalantly, “Say what you want. Like you said, she is your daughter. You should understand it yourself.”

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong also noticed some hints.

“Old man, and Silin, you had better figure out who your real daughter is,” Old Sir Zhong spoke directly, “Don’t forget, the reason Meng Fan’s temperament has become like this is largely due to your indulgence when she was younger.”

“Anyone can disdain Meng Fan, except for you two.”

Old Madam Zhong also spoke up, “We all know, the false Meng Fan was indeed doing very well in many aspects. However, she was also scheming, even going so far as harming Yaoyao multiple times, and instigating others against Yaoyao. If Yaoyao hadn’t realized it, who knows what else she might have done?”

“Such a venomous snake, dare you keep her around? Aren’t you afraid that one day she will turn against you? By then it will be too late for regrets.”

After hearing Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong speak, Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin said nothing further.

However, both seemed to be deep in thought, their minds possibly wrestling with various ideas.

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong knew, while they could offer advice, whether the other party was willing to listen and accept was beyond their control.

After sighing, the elders greeted Zhong Nianyao and went back to their rooms to rest.

After the elders had gone back to their rooms, Zhong Nianyao didn’t stay any longer. Without even acknowledging Zhong Jinghao and Zheng Silin, she went straight upstairs to her room.

Although the issue with Zhong Mengfan had been resolved, Zhong Nianyao still didn’t feel relaxed. The words of the false Zhong Mengfan had left her thoughts in disarray.

Lying in bed, Zhong Nianyao tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep well. Every time she closed her eyes, she started dreaming, often jumbled, confusing dreams.

When she awoke the next day, Zhong Nianyao stretched and couldn’t help but yawn.

She had thought she would have blurry memories, yet the scenes from her dreams remained vividly fresh in her mind, as if she had experienced them personally.

For a moment, she struggled to differentiate between reality and dreams.

After a brief daze, Zhong Nianyao came back to her senses and quickly got up. She hadn’t forgotten that she still had a flight to catch.

After coming downstairs and finishing breakfast, under the farewell of Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, Zhong Nianyao got into Lu Yichen’s car and left.

Once the car had completely disappeared from view, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong reluctantly turned back to the house.

In the car–

Zhong Nianyao couldn’t help but yawn again, tears of fatigue appearing in the corners of her eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Zhong Nianyao’s continuous yawning and tired appearance, Lu Yichen stretched out a hand, ruffled her hair, and jokingly said, “What were you up to last night? You didn’t go out thieving, did you?”

“It wasn’t thieving; it was catching a thief,” Zhong Nianyao shook her head and chuckled, “Last night, I did catch a little thief who invaded someone’s body. Unfortunately, I let her escape.”

After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, Lu Yichen’s expression turned serious, and he quickly asked, “What exactly happened?”

Without holding back, Zhong Nianyao shared everything about the previous night.

After listening to Zhong Nianyao’s account, Lu Yichen furrowed his brows, “Do you really have no idea who that person was?”

“I don’t,” Zhong Nianyao shrugged, continuing, “From beginning to end, I never saw that person’s real face. However, I could feel her hostility, or more precisely, her deep hatred for me.”

Lu Yichen pondered for a moment, then said, “This matter might not be so easy to resolve. We don’t know who she is at all, let alone how to deal with her.”

“There’s nothing we can do,” Zhong Nianyao appeared somewhat helpless, “We don’t even know her name, let alone find her. But she wants to target me. I can’t believe she would just leave it at that. This time, she was lucky. If there’s a next time, I definitely won’t let her escape easily.”

Lu Yichen nodded, then looked at Zhong Nianyao, his eyes full of seriousness, “Yaoyao, I need you to promise me, if you really find any trace of that person, you must not act alone, you have to tell me.”

“Huh?”

After hearing Lu Yichen’s words, Zhong Nianyao paused for a moment, then seeing his serious expression, she nodded, “Okay, I’ll remember.”

Then, she grabbed Lu Yichen’s hand, smiled, and coquettishly said, “Don’t keep going on about it, I’m not a child anymore, I know what to do.”

“Besides, my capabilities might be unknown to others, but how could you not know? No matter who she is, in my hands, she won’t have a good end.”

Watching Zhong Nianyao’s demeanor, Lu Yichen involuntarily reached out to pat her head, his face somewhat helpless, “You! Just remember what you promised.”
