The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot-Chapter 164 - Outrage
Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Outrage
After hearing Lu Yichen’s words, Uncle Li paused for a moment, then quickly reacted, “Indeed, Wang Zhenkai from the Wang Family, who is twenty-eight this year and quite handsome, is indeed a good match for Lady Ma.”
Wang Zhenkai was indeed quite the sight and also young. However, he was a flirtatious character, known for keeping female celebrities and dating internet influencers, spending money like water. Although not engaged, his life was constantly filled with scandalous news, and women were ever-present by his side.
Moreover, being the youngest son of his family, he was not going to inherit the family business, a true prodigal son.
Such a person, the Ma Family would most likely look down upon.
“Indeed, quite a good match,” nodded Lu Yichen, “Arrange it. Within half a month, I want to hear news of a marriage alliance between the Ma Family and the Wang Family.”
Uncle Li immediately responded, “I will arrange it right away.”
After speaking, he temporarily left the room.
He clearly understood that since his master had spoken, it wasn’t to seek his opinion, but to inform him. He just needed to find a way to make it happen, no need for superfluous words.
The room regained its silence, as if nothing had happened.

Zhong Niangyao was unaffected, still leisurely shopping at the mall. Although she didn’t buy much, her mood was quite pleasant.
However, the mood of Old Madam Lu was not so pleasant.
She had always been high and mighty, and this was the first time someone had defied her, especially a girl from a minor family she never considered significant.
Her bad mood only worsened when she walked in the door to find Old Master Lu with a gloomy expression.
“Decided to come back?”
Old Master Lu looked at the entering Old Madam Lu, his face even darker, “Where have you been?”
Hearing his unfriendly tone, Old Madam Lu felt a jolt in her heart, “Old Sir, I was just strolling around. Why are you particularly asking about this today?”
Within the Lu Family, Old Master Lu was the absolute authority. Even Old Madam Lu was extra cautious when facing Old Master Lu.
Despite being married for many years, unlike the flourishing Lu Family, Old Madam Lu’s maiden family had long been in decline. It could even be said that without the marriage connection to the Lu Family, her maiden family might have already disappeared from the Imperial Capital.
Thus, even though Old Madam Lu was always haughty in front of everyone else, she inevitably lowered her stance in front of Old Master Lu. Especially on a day like today, seeing that Old Master Lu was in a bad mood, she didn’t want to provoke him further.
“Just strolling around?” Old Master Lu’s sharp gaze fell on Old Madam Lu, “Then where did you go and who did you meet that you shouldn’t have?”
With that statement, Old Madam Lu immediately understood what he meant. She felt a moment of guilt, but recovered quickly, “Since you already know, why bother asking me?”
She didn’t expect Old Master Lu to find out so quickly. It seemed she had underestimated this girl; they had only just met, and she had already managed to complain to Old Sir.
“Nonsense.” Old Master Lu’s voice rose several notches, “Do you think we are still in the old society? Are you an elder from the old times? To actually go and confront that young lady, you really are capable!”
“That young lady is really something!” Old Madam Lu’s complexion wasn’t good, although she feared Old Master Lu’s authority, she still spoke up, “I had just gone to see her, and you already know, it seems she’s quite capable!”
“You—” Old Master Lu looked at Old Madam Lu, “I have already told you before, Yichen’s matters are none of your concern. What kind of girl he likes, whom he plans to marry in the future, even whether he marries at all, that’s all for him to decide.”
“Did you take my words to heart? Or do my words carry no weight with you?”
“Old Sir, I didn’t mean that.”
Frightened by Old Master Lu’s barrage of questions, Old Madam Lu dared not say more, merely nodding in agreement, “Old Sir, I was wrong this time. I’ll remember from now on.”
Whether he believed Old Madam Lu’s words or not, Old Master Lu snorted coldly before getting up to leave.
But before leaving, he left a warning, “Stay out of Yichen’s business from now on. If you really have free time, take care of Yilei and stop him from making more scandalous headlines.”
After saying this, he turned and left without hesitation.
Left behind, Old Madam Lu’s face alternated between pale and flushed, sitting there in silence.
Soon, however, she regained her composure. Unnoticed by anyone, a deep hatred flashed in her eyes.
After Old Madam Lu’s visit, Zhong Niangyao’s life returned to its peaceful routine.
Nothing in her life changed, nor did anything change for the Zhong Family. Of course, the cooperation between the Zhong Family and the Lu Family also remained smooth.
Zhong Niangyao didn’t know whether this was because Old Madam Lu disdained to bicker with her, or because Lu Yichen had done something in between.
But she wasn’t very concerned. After all, this trouble was started by Lu Yichen, and it was best if he dealt with it himself. Otherwise, if she had to step in, no one would benefit.
However, she hadn’t expected that indeed, it wasn’t Old Madam Lu who came to her, but rather, Lu Yichen had taken the initiative to turn up.
Faced with such a surprise, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Indeed, today after class, someone had asked for her again. But this time, it wasn’t Old Madam Lu, but Lu Yichen.
When she saw Uncle Li, she didn’t say much and just followed him.
Once they arrived at the private dining room of the restaurant, sure enough, she saw Lu Yichen sitting inside.
“You didn’t invite me here today because there’s another issue, did you?”
Zhong Niangyao directly pulled out a chair and sat down, “It can’t just be that you simply wanted to have dinner with me?”
Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow and countered, “Why can’t I just want to have dinner with you?”
