The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Half a Year’s Time Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Half a Year’s Time Looking at Chu Yixue, who was completely different from before, Li Jingming could hardly believe his own eyes. “Xiao Xue, how could you have changed into what you are now? You used to be—”
“You used to be gentle and understanding, right?” Chu Yixue curled her lips in a mocking smile. “Li Jingming, do you think you deserve someone like me? Didn’t your mother always look down on me? You’re the same, aren’t you? Otherwise, why did you break up with me immediately after something happened to me?”

Chu Yixue’s barrage of questions left Li Jingming speechless for a moment.

Watching Li Jingming’s reaction, Chu Yixue felt a surge of satisfaction. She stepped closer, her voice soft yet filled with threats, “Li Jingming, we are now completely from different classes. From now on, stop bothering me. Let me tell you, if you talk about our past, don’t blame me for not being polite.”

After finishing, Chu Yixue did not wait for Li Jingming’s response. She calmed herself down and put a smile back on her face as she leisurely walked into the banquet hall as if nothing had happened.

Li Jingming, left behind alone, seemed completely dejected.

The banquet went very smoothly.

Zhong Niangyao spent the evening close to Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong and didn’t mingle with people her age.

The happiest person of them all was surely Chu Yixue. After today’s banquet, she was no longer the financially struggling Shen Yixue; she was now the Second Lady of the Chu Family, a wealthy heiress.

Upon returning to the Chu Family, after bidding her parents and family good night, Chu Yixue returned to her own room.

Sitting alone in her room, Chu Yixue felt as if she were dreaming. She had never imagined that one day she could become a wealthy heiress.

Looking at her room that was now many times larger than before, at the seasonal designer clothes in her wardrobe, at the expensive jewelry on her dresser, she couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.

“Are you happy?”

Just then, a voice echoed through the empty room, startling Chu Yixue who had been lost in thought. She looked around warily and asked, “Who’s there?”

She couldn’t help but remember the beautiful woman she had encountered at school, and a shiver ran down her spine.

Quickly, a figure appeared out of thin air in the room—it was the same woman she had met at school. The woman was still dressed in white, her delicate features not seeming real.

The moment the woman in white appeared, Shen Yixue found herself uncontrollably kneeling with bowed head.

“Rise,” the woman in white sat down as if it mattered to no one, her expression indifferent as she looked at Chu Yixue. “It seems you’re adjusting quite well to your new identity!”

Chu Yixue suddenly looked up, her face unable to hide the shock as she remembered the words the woman had said before. “My identity was arranged by you—”
“Your identity is indeed my arrangement,” the woman in white said with a mocking smile. “Shen Yixue, you wouldn’t really think you are the true heiress of the Chu Family, right? Keep it clear in mind that everything you have now was given by me. Don’t forget why I gave you this identity.”

Chu Yixue immediately sobered up, quickly lowering her head and speaking with deep respect. “Don’t worry, my master. I remember. I will find a way to bring disgrace upon Zhong Niangyao as quickly as possible.”

Now, she had snapped out of her beautiful dream. She hadn’t seen the woman in white since that day and thought it might have been just a fantasy.

After becoming the Second Lady of the Chu Family, she had completely forgotten about the woman in white. She was so immersed in the dream of being a wealthy heiress that she hadn’t considered her identity could be false.

The reappearance of the woman in white struck her with a chilling fear. She had not forgotten why the woman had sought her out initially. Although she didn’t know the exact grievance between the woman in white and Zhong Niangyao, she was very clear that the woman in white intended to use her to destroy Zhong Niangyao.

“Bring disgrace upon her?” The woman in white laughed coldly, her voice almost freezing. “What I want is not just her disgrace; I want her life.”

As the woman in white spoke, the temperature in the room dropped several degrees, causing Chu Yixue to shiver uncontrollably.

At that moment, her heart not only held shock but also a vague sense of regret.

She knew that the woman in white must hate Zhong Niangyao deeply, but she had not expected her ultimate goal to be Zhong Niangyao’s life. Setting aside whether she could achieve it or not, although she hated her deeply, she had never thought of taking Zhong Niangyao’s life from the beginning.

“Frightened, are you?” The woman in white looked at Chu Yixue, her smile growing ever brighter but void of any warmth, only a bone-chilling coldness. “Don’t you want Zhong Niangyao dead?”

Chu Yixue started to shake, unable to answer and unsure of what to say.

“Worthless.” Disdain appeared on the woman in white’s face. “Shen Yixue, remember your objective. I give you half a year’s time. If within half a year, Zhong Niangyao dies, then your mission will be considered complete. There will be no further ties between us, and you will forever be the Second Lady of the Chu Family. But—”
As she spoke, the woman in white’s expression turned colder. “If within half a year, you fail to accomplish the task, everything you now possess will vanish into nothing. Moreover, even your soul will dissipate into ashes.”

Having said this, the space seemed to fluctuate briefly, and then, just as silently as she had come, the woman in white’s figure vanished from the room.

After the woman in white completely disappeared, Chu Yixue suddenly collapsed to the floor. At that moment, she was ice-cold and didn’t even have the strength to stand.

She was filled with regret. She could not have imagined that the woman in white would require her to find a way to kill Zhong Niangyao. If Zhong Niangyao didn’t die, she would be the one to perish.

Moreover, even her soul would scatter, erasing her existence completely from this world without a trace.
