The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Bad Romance

Zhong Niangyao was an exception, because since the third uncle had gone missing, all of his property was now in her hands. She could easily produce a million dollars.

“Oh, do you think I look like a fool?” Zhong Niangyao found it amusing, “That’s a million dollars, not a hundred. You think you can just talk your way into taking a million from me? Do you think that’s possible?”

“Why not?”

Hearing that Zhong Niangyao was about to refuse, Zhong Mengfan almost jumped up, “This one million is nothing difficult for you. It’s just a drop in the bucket for you, why won’t you help me then?”

“A small amount of money?” Zhong Niangyao scoffed, “If that’s the case, then why are you even coming to me to borrow this small amount?”

“I… I…”

For a moment, Zhong Mengfan was so refuted that she did not know what to say, only managing to stammer, “I’m just asking to borrow it, not asking you to give it to me.”

“Leaving aside whether our relationship has reached the stage where I can lend you so much money, what exactly do you need this money for?” Zhong Niangyao’s gaze was sharp, as if trying to see through all of Zhong Mengfan’s thoughts, “If the money you are borrowing is for a legitimate purpose, why don’t you just ask Uncle and Aunt directly?”

Even though in Zhong Minghao’s and Zheng Silin’s hearts, Zhong Jinghao was more important, they still loved their daughter Mengfan very much. If Zhong Mengfan really needed a million, they would not withhold it.

“What business is it of yours what I use it for!” Zhong Mengfan raised her head and glared at Zhong Niangyao, “You just need to say yes or no, lend or not?”

“Not lending.” Zhong Niangyao replied without hesitation, “You won’t even disclose what the money is for, and if anything happens later, I can’t be responsible for that.”

“Zhong Niangyao, you’re truly heartless.”

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s refusal, hatred filled Zhong Mengfan’s eyes instantly, “We are cousins, and you’re not willing to help even this much. If something really happens to me, you’ll be the chief culprit.”

“This is absolutely the biggest joke I’ve heard this year.” The mocking smile on Zhong Niangyao’s face became more evident, “Since you’re going to be in trouble without this million, I think I need to tell Uncle and Aunt about this matter. Otherwise, I’ll end up being the one held responsible.”

“No way.”

Hearing this, Zhong Mengfan exploded and leaped up immediately, pointing directly at Zhong Niangyao’s nose and threatening, “You absolutely cannot tell anyone about what happened today, especially not my parents. Otherwise, I won’t let you off.”

“Oh, I really want to see how you won’t let me off.”

Compared to Zhong Mengfan’s agitation, Zhong Niangyao was much calmer, “Why don’t we try it right now then? I’m really looking forward to it!”

“No, please don’t.” Seeing that Zhong Niangyao’s stance had not softened at all, Zhong Mengfan immediately changed her tune, her threats turning into pleas, “Zhong Niangyao, I won’t ask you for the money. But please, don’t tell my parents about this.”

Zhong Niangyao squinted her eyes, looking at Zhong Mengfan, “You want that million so badly, what exactly is it for? Tell the truth, otherwise, if something happens, you’ll regret it too late.”

“I’m not asking you to lend me the money anymore, why do you need to ask so much?” Zhong Mengfan became somewhat angry from embarrassment, “Moreover, my matter doesn’t need your interference. Just treat it as if I never came here today, you absolutely cannot tell my parents about it. Otherwise, I’ll definitely not let you off.”

After saying that, she stood up with her heart full of anger and suffocation, ready to leave.

However, just as she was about to leave, Zhong Niangyao called her back.

“Just a piece of advice, the romantic interest around you now is not the right one.” Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhong Mengfan and her face had not a trace of jest, “That’s indeed a genuine bad match. If you persist, ultimately, you’ll be the one to suffer.”@@novelbin@@

“I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about.” Zhong Mengfan glared fiercely at Zhong Niangyao, “My affairs have nothing to do with you. You just need to mind your own business. If a single rumor comes out from your mouth, I promise you, I’ll make sure you can never live in peace.”

With that, she left Zhong Niangyao’s room directly.

Once she was out of the room, Zhong Mengfan turned her head and glared fiercely once again.

At that moment, she also felt some regret; it really was a mistake to have approached Zhong Niangyao today. Indeed, in this misfortune’s eyes, her relatives simply did not exist. Otherwise, how could she possibly refuse to lend just a mere million! Clearly, for Zhong Niangyao, it was just little money.

If she had known earlier that Zhong Niangyao was such a miserly and unkind person, she would never have come in the first place.

Now, she worried whether Zhong Niangyao would tell her parents. If her parents found out, they would certainly investigate thoroughly. Then her matters would no longer be concealed.

Thinking of this, Zhong Mengfan became even more annoyed. In her heart, she resolved that if Zhong Niangyao dared to speak out, she would make sure Zhong Niangyao could never live peacefully again.

However, the most urgent task now was to muster up the money quickly. Since Zhong Niangyao was not willing to lend her the money, and she could not bring herself to tell her parents and brother, she could only ask some friends to borrow some, then sell off her own jewelry to quickly raise the necessary funds.

In the room, after Zhong Mengfan left, Zhong Niangyao was still sitting there.

Leaning back on the sofa, a trace of deep meaning flashed through her eyes. She then stretched out her hand, calculated with her fingers, and then shook her head helplessly.

It seemed that her warning just then had not been heeded by Zhong Mengfan. This time, Zhong Mengfan was likely to suffer some serious hardships. It looked like she really needed to give a heads-up to her grandparents.

It wasn’t so much that she harbored sisterly affection for Zhong Mengfan; she simply didn’t want to make her grandparents sad.

Since she had promised Mr. and Mrs. Meng, after class the next morning, Zhong Niangyao went to the Meng Family’s home.

This time Zhao Xuanglang did not accompany her, not because he didn’t want to, but because he had classes that afternoon which he couldn’t miss.

Upon arriving at the Meng Family’s house, just as she entered the door, she saw that everyone except Meng Rou had been already waiting for her in the living room.

Seeing Zhong Niangyao enter, Mr. Meng, Madam Meng, and Meng Ruikai immediately stood up.
