The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

This family banquet could not be described as thoroughly joyous, but at least it passed in relative peace.

However, "peace" might not be quite the right word. After Baili Hengyuan agreed to the marriage, though the three Baili brothers had nothing more to say, they still found Zhong Mingxin quite disagreeable. They kept toasting him insistently, the kind he could not refuse.

Faced with his three formidable brothers-in-law, Zhong Mingxin naturally didn’t dare to decline and could only continue with a forced smile. As for the toasts, he accepted each one without objection and before long, he became quite drunk.

Baili Hengyuan didn’t intercede, but he observed the scene with detached indifference, clearly supportive of his sons’ behavior.

Le Yao, seeing this, naturally felt sorry for him. She didn’t step in to stop it either, because she understood very well that without giving her brothers a chance to vent their frustration, they would continue to make things difficult for Mingxin in the future.

Zhong Niangyao was indifferent. After all, she had said all she wanted to say. As for anything else, she felt it was better not to get too involved.

Throughout everything happening at the dinner table, Lu Yichen seemed uninvolved, his attention fixed entirely on Zhong Niangyao.

By the end of the meal, Zhong Mingxin was completely drunk, while everyone else remained sober.
