The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Unease

“Ah? Boss, what do you mean?” Zhao Xuanlang scratched his head, clearly puzzled.

“It’s nothing.” Zhong Niangyao shook her head, “Anyway, you’ll find out soon enough.”

Seeing that Zhong Niangyao didn’t seem inclined to explain, Zhao Xuanlang, although curious, didn’t press the issue.

Just as the two of them continued walking, they encountered two familiar faces.

One of them was none other than Shen Yixue, who they had just been discussing. As for the other—

It took Zhong Niangyao a good while to recognize her as the girl she had seen in the mall, shopping with Shen Yixue. Her name seemed to be something like Chen Lianlian.

When Shen Yixue saw Zhong Niangyao and Zhao Xuanlang, she also froze for a moment. Instinctively, she wanted to pull Chen Lianlian away. For some reason, she always felt that Zhong Niangyao seemed to know something. So, recently, she had no desire to see Zhong Niangyao at all.

However, while Shen Yixue wanted to leave, Chen Lianlian directly grabbed her hand and walked straight up to Zhong Niangyao.

Shen Yixue didn’t frown tightly, wanting to leave, but couldn’t break free from Chen Lianlian’s grip. Moreover, they had already caught Zhong Niangyao’s attention; leaving now would be too obvious.

So, with no other choice, Shen Yixue still walked up to Zhong Niangyao and Zhao Xuanlang with Chen Lianlian.

Suddenly blocked, Zhong Niangyao hadn’t even said anything when Zhao Xuanlang became impatient, “Do you need something?”

His tone was not pleasant, implying that a good dog does not block the way.

However, Chen Lianlian evidently didn’t notice Zhao Xuanlang’s annoyance. She directly addressed Zhong Niangyao, “Zhong Niangyao, you must have heard about Xiao Xue winning first place in the art contest, right?”

“Oh!” Zhong Niangyao nodded, her attitude cold, “So what?”

Seeing Zhong Niangyao’s chilly demeanor, Chen Lianlian seemed quite dissatisfied, “What’s with that attitude, Zhong Niangyao? Could it be that you’re unhappy Xiao Xue won first place?”

Hearing this, Zhong Niangyao looked at Chen Lianlian as if she were looking at a fool. Before she could say anything, Zhao Xuanlang couldn’t help but retort.

“Chen Lianlian, is there something wrong with your brain?” Zhao Xuanlang was blunt, not mincing words, “What’s the relationship between Shen Yixue and the boss? Shen Yixue winning first place, what does it have to do with the boss, and why should the boss be happy about it?”

“You don’t find your own words ridiculous?”

Being rebuked by the person she liked, Chen Lianlian was naturally heartbroken, but she wouldn’t blame Zhao Xuanlang. Instead, she believed it was all Zhong Niangyao’s fault.

“What’s so great about you, Zhong Niangyao!” Those resentful eyes fixed on Zhong Niangyao, “All you can do is hide behind Xuan Lang. No wonder everyone likes Xiao Xue and not you.”

“Chen Lianlian, do you freaking have a problem?” Zhao Xuanlang couldn’t help but curse directly, “I’m the one confronting you, what does it have to do with the boss?”

“You—”

Watching Zhao Xuanlang’s merciless manner, Chen Lianlian’s eyes started to redden.

“Xuanlang, you’re being too harsh,” Shen Yixue stepped forward, pulling Chen Lianlian to her side, her gaze reproachful, “Lianlian is a girl, even if her words are unpleasant, you shouldn’t treat her like that!”

“Why are you everywhere!” Zhao Xuanlang was getting impatient, “Shen Yixue, it’s just a first place in a calligraphy contest, do you need to advertise it every day at school like this? Even if you really become a student of Chairman Xue from the Painting and Calligraphy Association, it has nothing to do with us!”

He felt that he had really been blind before, how could he have thought that Shen Yixue was a simple and kind person! The act was so strong it could be smelled from hundreds of meters away.

His words directly turned Shen Yixue’s face alternating shades of green and white, and she felt exceptionally embarrassed.

Thanks to the title of first place in the art contest, she had been the object of adoration lately. But now, Zhao Xuanlang’s words were like a slap to her face.

“Xuanlang, we didn’t mean anything by it.”

Shen Yixue tried to brace herself mentally, took a deep breath, and a shallow smile emerged on her face, “I never thought myself so great for winning this contest. Actually, we just wanted to say hello; we’re all classmates, greeting each other when we meet is normal, isn’t it? You don’t need to take it to heart.”

“Look, even Niangyao hasn’t said anything yet, why are you reacting so strongly?”

Seeing Shen Yixue’s hypocritical act, Zhao Xuanlang felt sick. But before he had a chance to speak, he was pushed aside.

“Shen Yixue, I hear that Chairman Xue is coming tomorrow!”

Zhong Niangyao abruptly pulled Zhao Xuanlang aside with a smile on her face and suddenly spoke, “It seems that tomorrow is indeed going to be a good day!”

“That’s for sure.”

Chen Lianlian stepped forward, looking very pleased with herself, “The school has already announced it; the ceremony will be held directly at the school auditorium. Chairman Xue will be there in person.”

“Not just that, even Jingming’s mother will be coming. She’s very pleased with Xiao Xue as a future daughter-in-law.”

She acted as if it were she, and not Shen Yixue, who had won the prize.

Beside her, Shen Yixue didn’t know why, but she felt an unease in her heart. Although it was a happy occasion, she just couldn’t settle her nerves.

“In that case, I really must witness your moment of glory,” Zhong Niangyao said, with a mocking smile, “After all, we’ve been classmates for years.”

“What, you’re coming?”

Shen Yixue was shocked, then quickly realizing her reaction was too strong, she hastily put on a concealing smile, “I thought you wouldn’t be interested in such things.”

“Hehe, this is a big event for our academy, and as a member of Tenglong Academy, of course I’ll attend,” Zhong Niangyao continued smilingly, “Don’t you think?”

Shen Yixue’s smile was strained.

Finally, after a few pleasantries, Shen Yixue quickly left with Chen Lianlian.

“Boss, are you really going to the auditorium tomorrow?” Zhao Xuanlang asked, “What’s the big deal? That Shen Yixue, just because she won first place, acts as if she can command the wind and rain at the academy, she’s really something.”
