The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot-Chapter 80 - : Taking Action
Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Taking Action
Everyone anxiously waited outside the emergency room, time ticked by, yet there was no stir of activity.
Zhong Niangyao didn’t leave either, fearing that her grandparents might become overly emotional and something might happen.
Amid this anxious wait, a doctor came out with some papers, his face fraught with urgency. It turned out that Li Yiqiu’s baby was probably beyond saving, hence family members needed to sign some documents.
Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Zhong Mingyu felt as though he’d lost all spirit, staggering backward, nearly falling to the ground. When he lifted his head again to look at the papers in the doctor’s hand, it was as if he was staring at a ferocious beast.
“Doctor, I beg you, save my mother’s baby in her womb,” Zhong Mengxuan stepped forward, grasping the doctor’s hand and pleading desperately, “It was so hard for my mom to conceive this child, she can’t lose this baby!”
The doctor, facing too many partings from life day after day, even though he felt sympathy, had to harden his heart and urge them, “You better sign quickly! If this continues, even the adult might be in danger.”
...
Seeing this situation caused Old Sir Zhong to clutch at his chest, struggling to breathe.
“Grandpa!” Zhong Niangyao was the first to notice Old Sir Zhong’s distress.
She hastily took out a pill from Old Sir Zhong’s pocket, fed it to him, and then instructed, “Take a deep breath, calm down your emotions first.”
It wasn’t long before Old Sir Zhong’s condition stabilized.
The Old Madam Zhong finally sighed in relief, “What’s the need to be so agitated! It’s not as though you aren’t aware of your own health, what would you do if something happened!”

Old Sir Zhong took a deep breath, and eventually didn’t retort.
The elderly couple, looking towards the resuscitation room, wore expressions of disappointment. They had previously been happy about the news of the impending addition to their family, but now, everything had changed.
Seeing this, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but sigh. She got up, stepped forward, snatched the notice papers from Zhong Mingyu’s hands, and tore them in half.
Zhong Mingyu had yet to react when the notice was already taken from his hand.
“Zhong Niangyao, what are you doing?” Zhong Mengxuan nearly jumped up, exclaiming, “Are you trying to kill my mom?”
Zhong Mingyu, too distressed to ponder the reason behind Zhong Niangyao’s actions, looked up at the doctor, “Please bring me another copy.”
Though pained by the potential loss of his son, he wouldn’t hesitate any longer; otherwise, even his wife might be in jeopardy.
“No need to sign,” Zhong Niangyao spoke indifferently, “I will go in with you now, I have a way to save the child in her womb.”
“What?”
Her words instantly drew everyone’s attention to Zhong Niangyao. However, doubt was more prevalent.
“Yaoyao, come back, don’t talk nonsense,” Old Madam Zhong spoke sternly, “Look at the time, stop causing trouble.”
Others clearly didn’t believe in Zhong Niangyao, also thinking she was causing a disturbance.
“The worst outcome would just be a miscarriage,” Zhong Niangyao continued, “So why not let me try! Moreover, with so many doctors inside, you shouldn’t be afraid that I will mess things up.”
Her calm demeanor and indifferent words yet emanated a strong confidence.
This aspect of Zhong Niangyao left everyone stunned. They had never seen this side of her before. Or perhaps, they had never imagined that Zhong Niangyao could have such a side.
Always, their impression of Zhong Niangyao had been of a spoilt, idiotic, love-struck girl.
But now, with this different Zhong Niangyao standing in front of them, they almost forgot what the previous Zhong Niangyao was like.
Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, observing a Zhong Niangyao almost unrecognizable from usual, their eyes inadvertently moistened. Excitement flickered in their depths, yet soon turned to pain, as if suppressing something.
“Let her in.”
It was Old Sir Zhong who spoke, his tone brooking no argument, “If any problems arise, we, the Zhong Family, will bear them ourselves, and won’t let the hospital shoulder any responsibility.”
“Dad!”
“Grandpa!”
His words provoked a cry of alarm from Zhong Mingyu and Zhong Mengxuan.
However, clearly, Old Sir had not changed his mind, he just glanced at Zhong Mingyu, “What? I am old now, so you don’t think you need to listen to me?”
Zhong Mingyu dared not retort, only silently standing aside.
Zhong Mengxuan had many complaints but noticed even her father had been rebuked, she dared not speak either.
Soon, Zhong Niangyao changed into a sterilized suit and followed the doctor into the resuscitation room.
Left behind, Old Madam Zhong reached out, tightly grasping Old Sir Zhong’s hand, her tone choked, “You shouldn’t have let Yaoyao go in.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Zhong Niangyao, but if anything truly went wrong in the end, Zhong Niangyao would immediately become the target of everyone’s criticism.
She and the old man could protect Zhong Niangyao now, but what about after they were gone? If something did go wrong this time, their son wouldn’t let Zhong Niangyao off the hook later.
“Old woman, we need to try and trust Yaoyao,” Old Master Zhong replied, holding her hand, “She is Ming Xin’s daughter, so she certainly won’t be inferior. Just now, I saw the shadow of Ming Xin in her.”
Old Madam Zhong couldn’t utter a word, as she had felt the same just moments before.
Outside, people continued to wait anxiously.
Inside the resuscitation room—
The chief physician, noticing that the trainee doctor who just went out had brought in a strange girl, couldn’t help but reprimand, “What are you doing? Don’t you know we are in the middle of a resuscitation? And you bring someone else in, can you take responsibility if something happens?”
“You don’t need to take responsibility,” Zhong Niangyao spoke softly, yet each word weighed heavily, “From now on, I will be in charge here. I will save the person and the child as well.”
Hearing such bragging, the chief physician scoffed, “Who do you think you are? Can you really bear the responsibility?”
