The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot-Chapter 168 - : Mistress
Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Mistress
“Dad, what exactly do you mean? Are you saying Mengxuan and Lu Chenran—”
Zhong Mingyu’s eyes lit up, and then he turned his head to look at Zhong Mengxuan, “Mengxuan, have you started dating the eldest young master of the Lu Family?”
At that moment, his whole being was in a state of excitement. Just moments ago, he hadn’t quite understood what was going on. But now he had grasped it, and really, he hadn’t expected his daughter to be so accomplished, to actually be able to get involved with the eldest young master of the Lu Family. If the two of them truly became a couple, wouldn’t he become the father-in-law of the eldest young master of the Lu Family?
With that thought, he couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart. He wished he could immediately have Zhong Mengxuan and Lu Chenran get married.
Initially feeling somewhat guilty, Zhong Mengxuan calmed down upon seeing Zhong Mingyu’s excitement, and even began to feel a bit proud.
A slight blush appeared on her face, and she spoke somewhat shyly, “We have only just started, so it hasn’t been made public.”
Indeed! Why should she feel guilty? Being with Lu Chenran was a great thing, wasn’t it? Wasn’t Zhong Niangyao just clinging to Third Young Master Lu? She was more capable than Zhong Niangyao. What did Third Young Master Lu have? He was merely a sickly person. But Lu Chenran was different.
Lu Chenran was the esteemed eldest young master of the Lu Family, absolutely incomparable to Third Young Master Lu. He was young and promising, and with the Lu Family as his backing, he was bound to reach higher positions in the future.
Thinking about all this, Zhong Mengxuan stood even taller.
Beside her, Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin’s faces had stiffened by then—they hadn’t anticipated this development. They were filled with jealousy; their daughter had only just been involved in an incident, and now Zhong Mengxuan had climbed such a high branch. How could they feel balanced about it!
Unlike his parents, Zhong Jinghao was actually filled with a bit of worry at this time.
From the moment he entered, he had noticed that the Old Madam and Old Sir’s expressions weren’t good. They obviously knew about Zhong Mengxuan and Lu Chenran’s matter already, indicating their disapproval, even strong opposition.
“Public,” do you still want to make it public?”
Looking at Zhong Mengxuan, Old Master Lu was almost quivering with anger, “Do you even know what you are talking about? Is the Lu Family for you to climb up to? Aren’t you afraid of falling to your death?”
“Dad, isn’t this a good thing? Why are you so angry?” Zhong Mingyu couldn’t conceal the smile on his face, “Mengxuan being with Lu Chenran is a huge plus for our Zhong Family, isn’t it? With the Lu Family as our support, our Zhong Family can surely rise to a higher level.”
By then, the heir of the Zhong Family would only be him.
Beside him, Zhong Mengxuan too wore a smile, her expression filled with triumph.
She couldn’t resist shooting a provocative look towards Zhong Niangyao.
Zhong Niangyao was merely associated with Third Young Master Lu, while she had now become Lu Chenran’s girlfriend. She was something Zhong Niangyao would never catch up to.
Seeing the provocative look from Zhong Mengxuan, the only words that came to Zhong Niangyao’s mind were “foolish girl.”
“Together, what right does she have to be with Lu Chenran?” Old Master Zhong was nearly blowing his top, “Not even thinking about her own status, does she even qualify to step into the Lu Family’s door?”
“Grandpa!”
Hearing Old Master Zhong belittling her like this, Zhong Mengxuan couldn’t care about respecting elders and directly retorted, “How can you say that! Why don’t I qualify to enter the Lu Family’s door, can only Zhong Niangyao climb up the social ladder, but I can’t be together with the eldest young master of the Lu Family?”
The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, she was nearly pointing at Zhong Niangyao’s nose and cursing.
All eyes were now focused on Zhong Niangyao.
However, Zhong Niangyao looked helpless; she didn’t understand why suddenly the fire had spread to her. This matter shouldn’t have much to do with her, should it!
“Making a fuss!” Old Madam Zhong looked sharply at Zhong Mengxuan, “Niangyao and Third Young Master Lu have nothing inappropriate between them; nothing has ever happened. Third Young Master Lu is simply grateful to Niangyao for her previous help, so he gave her gifts. This cannot be mixed up with your situation.”
At this time, hearing Old Madam Zhong’s words, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty. Had it been before today, she could have argued confidently, but it was just today that she heard those ambiguous words from Lu Yichen, which left her a bit unsettled.
“Grandma, can’t I date?” Zhong Mengxuan’s tone was full of resentment, “I’ve found such a good boyfriend, shouldn’t you all be happy for me?”
“Boyfriend?” Old Master Zhong spoke coldly, “Is he willing to acknowledge you as his girlfriend? Zhong Mengxuan, you aren’t that young, how can you still be so thoughtless?”
“Dad, Mom, what’s going on?” Zhong Mingyu was puzzled, “This is a good thing for Mengxuan, why are you acting like this?”
“A good thing?” Old Master Zhong glanced at Zhong Mengxuan before continuing, “She’s with Lu Chenran now, but do they dare to be together openly? Is Lu Chenran even single?”
Upon these words, everyone’s faces changed. Simultaneously, they understood why Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong were angry.
“Grandpa, who is Lu Chenran’s girlfriend, which family’s daughter?” Zhong Jinghao was sharp, and he immediately grasped the key point.
“Miss Long Jiarui of the Long Family,” Old Master Zhong spoke gravely, “and she’s not just a girlfriend, she’s his fiancée.”
“Impossible,” Zhong Mengxuan instinctively denied, “Chenran clearly told me he doesn’t have a girlfriend.”

“It’s his fiancée,” Old Madam Zhong’s expression turned grim, “Mengxuan, you are now the other woman. Do you still think it’s a good thing?”
“But… but…” Zhong Mengxuan clenched her teeth, “They are only engaged, not married yet; don’t I still have a chance?”
She wasn’t willing to give up, having invested so much to secure Lu Chenran. If she were to give up now, wouldn’t she suffer a huge loss? And furthermore—
Zhong Mengxuan couldn’t help but glance at Zhong Niangyao; she absolutely didn’t want to lose to Zhong Niangyao. If Zhong Niangyao could climb up to Third Young Master Lu, why couldn’t she be with Lu Chenran?
