The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot-Chapter 137 - : Response Strategy

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Response Strategy

“Collaborative relationship.”

Zhong Niangyao’s eyes flickered as she had already thought of a response, “I once helped him greatly, so he sent these things over as a thank-you gift.”

“Helped him?”

Before Old Sir Zhong could speak, Zhong Mengxuan couldn’t help but sneer, “Zhong Niangyao, what abilities do you have that could assist Third Young Master Lu? Who do you think you are? Are you even capable of helping the Lu Family?”

“I know best whether I can help or not, don’t I?” Zhong Niangyao said with a half-smile, “Don’t forget, it was I who saved your mother.”

She actually found it quite strange. There shouldn’t be any major conflict between her and Zhong Mengxuan! Moreover, not too long ago, she had even saved Li Yiqiu’s unborn child.

...

Even if Zhong Mengxuan was not grateful, she at least shouldn’t mock and sneer like she was now!

It seemed that she really was incompatible with the other girls of the Zhong Family! Whether it was Zhong Mengfan or Zhong Mengxuan, they both harbored hostility towards her!

No, perhaps even the relationship between Zhong Mengfan and Zhong Mengxuan wasn’t good.

With just a few light words, Zhong Mengxuan’s face immediately changed, becoming slightly embarrassed, but when she looked at Zhong Niangyao, her eyes were still filled with malice.

“Mengxuan, shut up!” Zhong Mingyu gave his daughter a warning look before turning to Zhong Niangyao with an apologetic tone, “Nianyao, I’m sorry! Mengxuan is tactless, don’t mind her! But—”

“The matter between you and Third Young Master Lu needs to be handled carefully! A family like the Lu Family is not one we can aspire to!”

Zhong Niangyao glanced lightly at Zhong Mingyu, then spoke, “Second Uncle, rest assured, I’m not a child anymore. I know how to handle many things.”

“Alright, alright, since Nianyao has already explained, let’s leave it at that!” Old Si Zhong interjected directly, “Remember this—”

During the conversation, Old Sir Zhong’s expression grew serious, “Nianyao just helped Third Master Lu once, there is no other relationship between them, and there will be no further interaction in the future. If anyone dares to spread rumors, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Once Old Sir Zhong spoke, naturally, no one else dared to say anything!

Although Zhong Niangyao’s explanation sounded really unconvincing, since Old Master Zhong, the head of the family, had accepted it, they had too many doubts but dared not voice them anymore!

Old Madam Zhong, who had not spoken until now, finally said, “Alright, since everything is clear now, you should all go and rest!”

Then, she turned her head and looked at Zhong Niangyao and continued, “Nianyao, I’ll have someone send these two chest’s items to your room later.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded, without making any further comments.

As for the things sent by Lu Yichen, she no longer intended to send them back.

She had already said she didn’t need them, but since the other party had sent them with such sincerity, she naturally accepted them with a clear conscience!

Moreover, because of these two chests, she had been interrogated in a ‘triple court session’, returning them now would be a huge loss!

After Old Madam Zhong spoke, everyone naturally didn’t dare to have any objections. However, when their gazes fell on those two chests, their eyes were practically fiery.

When those two chests had been delivered, Old Sir Zhong had already had them opened to take a look inside. They too had seen the contents.

Everything inside was extremely valuable, some items even appeared to be antiques! Just taking out one item might be enough to buy a house in the Imperial Capital.

Now with an entire two chests full, the value was possibly incalculable!

They really wanted to know, what kind of favor Zhong Niangyao had done for Third Master Lu to warrant such an expensive gift!

As for the speculations of others, Zhong Niangyao didn’t care at all; after Old Madam Zhong spoke, she got up and went back to her room!

There would be a thrilling drama at school tomorrow! She needed to rest up well to enjoy it properly!

Zhong Mengxuan watched as Zhong Niangyao walked away, then glanced again at the two chests still in the living room, a barely noticeable fierce glow flickering in her eyes!

Third Young Master Lu, being one of the least notable members of the Lu Family, could so casually give such expensive gifts as thanks! The wealth of the Lu Family was unimaginable!

Now, since the Fourth Young Master of the Lu Family was still unmarried, if she could forge a connection with him, then—

Just the thought made Zhong Mengxuan feel endlessly excited!

Zhong Mingyu was unaware of his daughter’s grand ambitions. At this moment, most of his thoughts were on his soon-to-be-born son.

When he realized it one day, it would already be too late.

After Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong instructed two servants to take the items to Zhong Niangyao’s room, they retired to rest!

Regarding Zhong Niangyao’s explanation earlier, although it felt somewhat perplexing, they believed it.

Had it been before, they certainly wouldn’t have believed such reasoning. But now, knowing the capabilities of Zhong Niangyao, they no longer doubted!

But—

After returning to their room, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong didn’t immediately rest, instead they sat down to chat.

“Old lady, do you think that Nianyao might—” Old Sir Zhong hesitated, “might have—”

“Might have what?”

Seeing Old Sir Zhong’s manner, Old Madam Zhong grew a little impatient, “It’s just the two of us here, what can’t you say? Speak up quickly!”

Under Old Madam Zhong’s urging, Old Sir Zhong still hesitantly said, “Nianyao couldn’t possibly have taken a liking to that Third Master Lu, could she! She once mentioned wanting someone good-looking.”

“What?”

Old Madam Zhong almost thought she misheard, but after she turned around, she immediately said, “What nonsense are you talking, old man! Didn’t Nianyao just explain? It was just a favor!”

“But—” Old Sir Zhong frowned, “I always feel that something is strange, but I can’t pinpoint what it is!”

“Don’t think too much,” Old Madam Zhong shook her head, speaking, “The gap between our family and the Lu Family is too great. Nianyao is a smart child, she doesn’t need our worries now! She knows what she’s doing!”
