Chapter 570 - Chapter 570 Chapter 570 Yaohui
Chapter 570: Chapter 570 Yaohui Chapter 570: Chapter 570 Yaohui Different from the shock of others, Zhong Niangyao seemed exceptionally calm, as though everything was in her control.
“What? Not pretending anymore?” She looked at Zhong Mengfan standing opposite her, raised an eyebrow, and smiled lightly, “I’m rather curious, who exactly are you? Why are you targeting me like this?”
Since her disguise had been exposed, Zhong Mengfan didn’t pretend anymore. Looking at Zhong Niangyao opposite her, deep hatred filled her eyes. When she spoke, there was even a hint of gritting her teeth, “Yes! You have no idea who I am. Or rather, I’m too insignificant to catch your eye. But do you know? Your attitude of looking down on everyone, it’s really disgusting!”
Listening to Zhong Mengfan’s hate-filled words, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but frown, “What exactly do you mean?”
“It seems you truly have forgotten everything.” Zhong Mengfan sneered at herself, “Yes! As a favored daughter of the heavens, you’ve been spoiled by God since birth. But why?”
As she said this, Zhong Mengfan’s face contorted, “Why were you born with everything? Whatever you wish for, people rush to present it before you for your approval. Even those of us who were born lowly, no matter how hard we try, can’t ever get what we want.”
“You’ve mistaken me for someone else!” Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help frowning again, “Though I don’t understand your meaning, you’ve definitely mistaken someone else for me.”
“Mistaken someone?” Zhong Mengfan’s lips curled up in a mocking smile, “I might mistake anyone, but I could never mistake you. Yaohui, what I despise most is this facade of yours.”
At the name Yaohui, a fleeting pain shot through Zhong Niangyao’s heart, then vanished. Still, it made her frown involuntarily.
“I am not Yaohui, and I don’t know you.” Zhong Niangyao smoothed her brows, “The moment I suggested calling the Netherworld Messenger, you couldn’t contain yourself. It seems you really don’t want to see the Netherworld Messenger! I’m curious, considering your skills seem formidable, why would you fear the Netherworld Messenger?”
“Hmph, such minor characters, I hardly notice them.”
Her disdainful expression clearly showed that she truly looked down on those Netherworld Messengers.
Indeed, it wasn’t just the Netherworld Messengers; even Yan King himself didn’t merit a glance from her. What she feared was the person behind Yan King.
Moreover, her current situation was not conducive for anyone knowing she was here.
“Then who exactly are you?” Zhong Niangyao continued, “And who is this Yaohui you speak of?”
For some reason, every time the name Yaohui was mentioned, her heart ached, though the name was completely unfamiliar. She always felt this profound sentiment of familiarity.
It seemed to her that this person named Yaohui was inexplicably linked to her.
“You will know soon.”
Zhong Mengfan suddenly smiled, the smile full of boundless malice, “I hope that when the time comes, you can still face everything as calmly as now!”
Zhong Niangyao wanted to continue probing, but Zhong Mengfan suddenly fainted.
Seeing Zhong Mengfan had fainted, the others still dared not approach. They didn’t know who exactly Zhong Mengfan was.
From what had just transpired, Zhong Mengfan was evidently not who they thought, and certainly no simple character. Just standing there quietly was enough to put immense pressure on everyone.
Zhong Niangyao still stood there, not noticing the reactions of others. Or rather, she could no longer afford to care.
Despite having exposed Zhong Mengfan’s identity, she still didn’t know who this person really was or why she possessed such ability.
Moreover, from the brief exchange they had, Zhong Niangyao could tell that her opponent was not weak.
If it weren’t for the sudden surge in her power recently, she might not have been a match for her opponent. And she had a strong feeling that her opponent’s strength was far greater than she had seen.
But if her opponent truly was an enemy, why didn’t they use their full strength to kill her when they had the chance?
And who exactly was this Yaohui that her opponent mentioned? Why did her heart ache every time she heard this name, a sorrow welling up deep within?
In that moment, Zhong Niangyao found herself full of questions, but no one could provide her with answers.
Seeing no movement at all, Zhong Jinghao made a move and went forward to help Zhong Mengfan up.
But just as he took a step, Zheng Silin grabbed him.
“Jing Hao, the situation is still unclear, what are you trying to do?”
It was Zhong Minghao who spoke, “We still don’t know if it’s safe. Why rush in like a hero? And–”
“Niangyao is still there, why are you joining the chaos?”
During this conversation, the expressions of Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin were extremely complex when they looked at Zhong Niangyao.
They felt increasingly unable to see through their niece.
Previously, Zhong Niangyao was just a pretty but empty-headed woman, her intents clear on her face. It could be said, without Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong backing her, the wealth left by Zhong Mingxin would have been swallowed up by them and the second branch of the family.
But the current Zhong Niangyao was completely different from the person they knew.
