The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot-Chapter 92 - Celebration Banquet
Chapter 92 -92 Celebration Banquet
Since agreeing to Lu Yichen, Zhong Niangyao had been thinking about discussing the matter with Old Sir Zhong and the others, but she hadn’t found the right opportunity.
Just today, seizing this chance, she spoke up directly.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, the room suddenly fell silent.
Sensing something amiss, Zhong Niangyao raised her eyebrows, “What’s come up? Is there an issue with the tenth of next month?”
“Niannao, could you perhaps change the date?” Zheng Silin spoke directly, “Just now, Dad decided to hold a celebration for Jing Hao on the tenth next month. If you aren’t there, it might not look good.”
This celebration was specifically for her son, and naturally, she hoped that all members of the Zhong Family would attend. It was also to let everyone see just how outstanding her son was.
...
As for Zhong Niangyao, she wanted her to see Old Sir’s preference for Zhong Jinghao. At the same time, she also wanted Zhong Niangyao to regret her decision this time. Although in front of Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, her demeanor towards Zhong Niangyao was pleasant, in her heart, she still harbored resentment for what Zhong Niangyao had done before.
If it hadn’t been for Zhong Niangyao threatening them with a video, their main branch wouldn’t have lost those two percent of shares. She wanted Zhong Niangyao to clearly see who the future heir of the Zhong Family was.
“Indeed!” Old Sir Zhong also started persuading, “Yaoyao, delay your trip by a few days! Then you can attend the celebration together, and it will be a good opportunity for you to meet the company’s executives. After all, you do hold shares in the company.”
Hearing Old Sir mention the shares, the smiles on Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin’s faces momentarily stiffened but soon recovered.
The thought that Zhong Niangyao held fifteen percent of the company’s shares deeply unsettled them.
They also understood that whether it was them or Zhong Mingyu, everyone coveted the shares in Zhong Niangyao’s hands. However, as long as Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong were around, they wouldn’t dare to make a move.
Zhong Niangyao hadn’t noticed the psychological change in Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin. She just looked at Old Sir, then smiled and shook her head, “Grandpa, I have already planned everything for this trip. Changing plans now would be too troublesome. Besides, I’m not the main character at the celebration, so my absence won’t make any difference.”
“As for the company matters, as you know, I’ve never planned to get involved, so there’s no need for me to meet those executives.”
She was quite self-aware; compared to dealing with trivial matters, she found sticking to her original profession much easier.
“You child.” Old Madam Zhong didn’t really mind whether Zhong Niangyao attended or not. She reached out, patted Zhong Niangyao’s shoulder, and continued speaking with a smile, “Since you’ve already arranged everything, there’s no need to change your plans just to accommodate us. Just have fun.”
Old Sir Zhong initially wanted to persuade her further, but hearing Old Madam Zhong say this, he did not continue and tacitly agreed.
Zheng Silin was somewhat discontented, but with Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong’s stance clear, she dared not say anything further.
After talking with Old Sir Zhong and the others for a while, Zhong Niangyao returned to her room.
However, she had just started upstairs when she saw Zhong Mengfan at the staircase.
Currently, Zhong Mengfan lacked her usual lively spirit. Her face was haggard, dark circles under her eyes, clearly from lack of rest. Although only in her twenties, she seemed shrouded in a heavy gloom, casting a depressive air.
She was sinisterly watching Zhong Niangyao ascend, the hatred in her eyes almost palpable.
Facing Zhong Mengfan’s hatred, Zhong Niangyao wasn’t surprised. However, she didn’t have the energy to deal with Zhong Mengfan, so as she passed by her, she didn’t even spare her an extra glance, let alone greet her.
“Zhong Niangyao, are you feeling guilty, so you dare not face me?” Zhong Mengfan’s voice was hoarse, lacking its usual sweetness but filled with an indescribable sense of age.
Initially not intending to engage, Zhong Niangyao now stopped, turned around and looked at Zhong Mengfan, only to find it humorous, “Why should I feel guilty? You committed such acts without remorse; I certainly won’t feel guilty.”
“You—”
Stung by the sarcasm, Zhong Mengfan’s face grew even uglier. “Zhong Niangyao, don’t be smug. How long do you think you can keep this up? You’re only acting so high and mighty because of Grandpa and Grandma’s favoritism. How long do you think they can protect you? Eventually, you will reap what you sow.”
“That’s none of your concern.” Zhong Niangyao’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “If you have the time, you should worry about yourself! Your ugly demeanor truly is repulsive!”
“Zhong Niangyao, you dare insult me?”
Zhong Mengfan’s expression instantly turned ferocious, she stepped forward and raised her hand to slap Zhong Niangyao.
Zhong Niangyao didn’t give her the chance, she immediately took hold of Zhong Mengfan’s descending hand with one hand, then swiftly struck her with a harsh slap.
Before she could react, Zhong Mengfan felt a burning pain on her cheek and a buzzing in her right ear, indicating the force of the slap.

“How dare you hit me?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare to hit you?” Zhong Niangyao scoffed, “Who do you think you are? You were about to hit me; did you think I would just stand still and take it?”
“I am going to tell Grandpa and Grandma,” Zhong Mengfan’s look could kill as she glared at Zhong Niangyao, “I will not let you get away with hitting me.”
“Go ahead and tell them!” Zhong Niangyao made no attempt to stop her, looking up at the surveillance camera by the staircase, “Why I hit you should be pretty clear on this recording. It’s also a good chance for them to judge the situation, to see whether or not my slap was justified.”
“And of course, to let them see whether you’ve shown any remorse after what you’ve done.”
