Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 793: Do You Want to Be His Mistress?

On the other side, Sun Weimeng was keeping a close watch on the movements at the ancestral hall.

Seeing the Zhong Family preparing to offer incense, he remembered Young Master Zhong’s instructions to release what he had in his hand at the most critical moment.

This move!

It can only succeed, not fail!

Otherwise, the ten million he bet on Zhong Yi to win will be lost.

If it weren’t for fear that betting too much would affect the odds, he would never have just bet ten million. He would have somehow gathered a hundred million, to bankrupt the opponent completely!

Zhong Lingxiao and Zhong Yi, as the heirs of this generation, have already offered incense one after another.

Finally, it was the women’s turn.

Zhao Shuyuan glanced at Lin Xifei standing beside her, how ridiculous!

A mistress, elevated by her child, even entered the Zhong Family’s ancestral hall. This sort of thing never happened before. It’s all because Zhong Lingxiao really isn’t up to par. This child might be Zhong Lingxiao’s last child, as precious as a treasure.

The child in Lin Xifei’s belly might be the most precious illegitimate child or daughter in the whole Imperial Capital.

The sole seed!

Who dares to neglect?

So, Lin Xifei entering the Zhong Family ancestral hall is somewhat expected.

Zhao Shuyuan no longer feels aggrieved, Zhong Lingxiao’s repeated actions already left her disheartened.

She is still hoping for a turning point!

Hoping today Zhong Yi can turn things around.

But so far, there’s been no movement, and Zhao Shuyuan feels the future is bleak; will she waste her entire life in the Zhong Family?

"Eldest Madam, your incense."

The butler handed her the incense.

Zhao Shuyuan said thank you, then respectfully knelt on the prayer mat.

She silently prayed, if the ancestors of the Zhong Family have souls, do not let the hypocritical Zhong Lingxiao take the position of power. She also wished to divorce him and be a free person.

Zhao Shuyuan kowtowed three times.

Lin Xifei stood beside, her heart pounding.

She couldn’t help but touch her belly; inside is her and Ayao’s child. Young Master Zhong had said that once this is over, he would give them money to leave the Imperial Capital.

By then, their family of three would have a good life, no longer living in fear around Zhong Lingxiao.

But... there are so many people today, she’s really a bit panicked.

If any mistakes are made, it would be a disaster!

"Miss Lin."

"Miss Lin?"

"Ah!" Lin Xifei was startled, absent-mindedly, and her face turned somewhat pale.

The butler reminded her, "It’s your turn to offer incense."

"Oh, okay."

Lin Xifei took the lit incense, but the falling ash burned her a bit.

She screamed, almost dropping the incense; the Old Master glanced at her with dissatisfaction. The coldness in his eyes carried a hint of chill, making people uneasy.

"Xifei."

Zhong Lingxiao said, somewhat displeased, "You are usually very steady, why are you so careless today? Just offering incense can alarm you so much, don’t disturb the ancestors of the Zhong Family."

"I... my stomach felt a bit uncomfortable just now."

"Stomach!"

Zhong Lingxiao became nervous, "How is it uncomfortable?"

"It’s not the child; maybe something I ate last night didn’t sit right. It’ll be fine in a bit, don’t worry." Lin Xifei explained quietly to Zhong Lingxiao.

Zhong Lingxiao was relieved, and told the Old Master, "Don’t blame her, pregnancy is hard."

The Old Master was noncommittal, his expression still indifferent: "Offer incense properly, if you don’t want to, just leave. After all, she isn’t from our Zhong Family."

"She has my child in her belly, and it’s the child who is offering incense to the ancestors."

Zhong Lingxiao wanted this child to be acknowledged by everyone before it was even born.

He urged Lin Xifei to kneel down and kowtow to the ancestors.

Lin Xifei mumbled, saying okay.

"Big Brother."

Zhong Yi stood aside and called out, "Is she even worthy of worshiping the ancestors of the Zhong Family?"

Here it comes!

The attack has begun.

Some people in the crowd were filled with fighting spirit, ready to fight!

Waiting for the right moment.

Zhong Lingxiao looked at Zhong Yi with disdain, watching his last struggle. For Zhong Yi to say those words was simply ridiculous.

"Brother, she may not be worthy, but the Zhong Family’s blood in her is worthy!"

Zhong Yi seemed to be making a fuss over nothing, "Oh? Are you sure the child in her belly is yours? Have you done a paternity test?"

"Zhong Yi, are you confused? If I weren’t sure the child in her belly was mine, do you think I would bring her to worship the ancestors?" Zhong Lingxiao really didn’t expect Zhong Yi to be so foolish.

Making trouble in the ancestral hall like this, it’s simply causing the Old Master to be displeased for no reason.

Zhong Yi shrugged, "You have no evidence; are you relying on trust? If that’s the case, let her worship. But if our ancestors are angered, it’s not my fault."

"That’s not for you to worry about."

Zhong Lingxiao handed the three sticks of incense to Lin Xifei, instructing her to kneel down and kowtow.

Lin Xifei trembled as she knelt down, silently praying: Zhong Family ancestors, please don’t blame me; I’m just a pawn being manipulated. None of this is my true desire.

She was full of sincerity!

Even more sincere than Zhong Lingxiao.

Zhong Lingxiao nodded in satisfaction, while Zhong Yi’s eyes flashed with mockery.

The coffins of the Zhong Family ancestors are probably almost unable to stay put.

He smirked, about to speak.

But someone beat him to it.

Lu Yingxue stood at the forefront of the crowd, persuading, "Ayi, I know you’ve faced many setbacks recently and are in a bad mood. But today is a big day, and the Old Master’s health isn’t good, so don’t cause any more trouble. Since the Eldest Brother has brought Miss Lin, it must be confirmed."

Lu Bannong had already left early due to his poor health, which is why she dared to speak like this.

She didn’t believe Lin Xifei had the guts to confuse the Zhong Family’s bloodline.

To women like her aspiring for wealth and power, Zhong Lingxiao is the pinnacle; why would Lin Xifei betray Zhong Lingxiao?

Isn’t she afraid of death?

If the child in her belly wasn’t Zhong Lingxiao’s, Zhong Lingxiao would certainly kill her.

Lu Yingxue showed a bit of disappointment on her face, "Ayi, you’ve really changed a lot. I almost don’t recognize you anymore... although there’s no longer an engagement between us, I hope you live a good life and don’t be jealous of your elder brother."

Zhong Yi really didn’t expect Lu Yingxue to speak up at this moment. He initially planned to deal with Zhong Lingxiao first.

Who knew someone would jump at the chance to seek doom?

Zhong Yi glanced into the crowd and caught Sun Weimeng’s bright eyes.

Ready to strike!

He chuckled and said, "Lu Yingxue, who do you think you are? In the Zhong Family ancestral hall, do you have a voice?"

Lu Yingxue blushed; she didn’t expect Zhong Yi to give up all pretense.

"Zhong Yi!" Zhong Lingxiao admonished in a cold voice, "Miss Lu is an esteemed guest of our Zhong Family and has been taking care of the Old Master for years. What harm is there in her saying a few words here?"

"Big Brother, why protect her so much? Do you want her as your third concubine?"

"Zhong Yi!"

Lu Yingxue spoke sharply, "Are you insulting me? I didn’t expect you to become like this! To casually slander a woman’s reputation, I’ve already said I’ll never marry, how could you talk of me so vilely!"

Lu Yingxue’s recent reputation in the Imperial Capital was very good!

Zhong Yi’s words just now also angered many onlookers, who stood up for Lu Yingxue.

"Zhong Family’s Second Young Master, watch your words! Miss Lu is the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association and a pride of our Imperial Capital!"

"Yes! How could you speak like that!"

"Wasn’t it just that Miss Lu dumped you? Even though you’re a young master of the Zhong Family, you don’t have rightful status."

"In any case, the Zhong Family will hand over the family business to the Eldest Brother. How tasteless to bully a woman!"

The ancestral hall was in an uproar, sharp questioning and curses directed at Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi looked at Lu Yingxue, letting out a cold scoff.

"Are you really sure it’s not your face that will be slap?"

He was eager to see how badly Lu Yingxue would get slapped in the face later.
