The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Suspicion

“Why not?” Zhong Nianyao shrugged her shoulders and smiled slightly before continuing, “You’ve just turned forty this year. Life might not even be halfway over for you, the road ahead is so long. And of course, the possibilities are endless.”

Although the woman across from her looked well into her forties, she was actually just past forty. The reason she appeared older was merely due to the years slipping by.

“The future, huh?” Diao Keying’s face held a bitter expression that seemed to speak volumes, “Young master, since you said you can tell fortunes, can you predict what has happened to me?”

“What big deal can it be?” Zhong Nianyao spoke dismissively, “It’s nothing more than meeting a scumbag and raising an ingrate, that’s all there is to it.”

After hearing Zhong Nianyao’s words, Diao Keying widened her eyes, full of disbelief, “How could you know that?”

She had not mentioned anything about herself from beginning to end, not even a hint, yet this young girl had guessed it all. Could this be a coincidence?

“Aunty, didn’t I tell you just now?” Zhao Xuanglang interjected, “Our boss is a living immortal of this generation. What doesn’t she know? She is famous around these parts.”

Diao Keying looked at Zhong Nianyao and, despite feeling somewhat incredulous, a glimmer of hope rose on her face, “Then master, what should I do now?”

“It’s simple!” Zhong Nianyao smiled lightly, “Go find a lawyer, gather evidence of the scumbag’s cheating. When the time comes, let that scumbag leave without a single possession, and don’t bother with that son of a dog—just enjoy life with the money all to yourself!”

A struggle flashed through Diao Keying’s eyes, then turned into hesitation, and finally resolve.

When she looked up again, her expression was completely transformed. The previous numb desolation was gone, replaced by anticipation for a new lease on life.

Watching the change in Diao Keying’s demeanor, a hint of satisfaction flickered in Zhong Nianyao’s eyes, and she continued to speak, “As long as you are determined, you will definitely get what you want. Now—”

Zhong Nianyao pointed ahead, “Turn there, then keep going east for five hundred meters; there’s a hotel. You can get evidence of the scumbag’s cheating there.”

“Okay, master, thank you.”

After saying this, Diao Keying rummaged in her pockets, but in the end couldn’t produce a single cent, feeling extremely embarrassed.

“Just owe the fortune-telling fee for now!” Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, “When you’ve gotten what you deserve, you can come back to pay me the fortune-telling fee.”

“Thank you! Really, thank you!”

After giving a deep bow to Zhong Nianyao, Diao Keying quickly turned and left with a determined and sharp look in her eyes, completely different from when she had arrived.

Once Diao Keying was gone, Zhong Nianyao also got up and began to pack away the items on the table.

“Boss, are we closing up? I thought you said—”

Instantly, Zhao Xuanglang understood, “The aunty just now, she’s the fateful person you mentioned, right?”

“Mhm.” Zhong Nianyao nodded and did not deny it.

“What’s so special about that aunty?” Zhao Xuanglang was really puzzled, “I just can’t see it at all.”

“If she hadn’t met us today, then after today, she would have become a corpse.” Zhong Nianyao didn’t look up, but her words took Zhao Xuanglang by surprise, “She was planning to commit suicide today.”

“What?” Zhao Xuanglang’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief, “Boss, you’re not joking with me, are you?”

Zhong Nianyao lifted her head, and when she looked at Zhao Xuanglang, it was as if she were looking at a fool, “I’m not so bored as to joke about such things.”

“Boss, you are really amazing.” Zhao Xuanglang’s eyes shone, “You even foresaw this. With you around, even those who want to commit suicide can be persuaded to come back!”

“There are so many people in this world wanting to commit suicide every day; I can’t save them all,” Zhong Nianyao shook her head, “I was able to persuade Diao Keying to come back today all because of ‘fate.'”

If she hadn’t predicted Diao Keying earlier, she wouldn’t have deliberately waited here today. Saving someone planning to commit suicide was not a small deed of merit.

After this period of accumulating merit, she could feel that her soul was already much more in tune with this body.

Even when the body and soul were fully integrated in the future, she would still need to continue accumulating merit. With the nourishment from merit, she could feel her soul growing stronger.

After closing up, Zhong Nianyao went to have a meal with Zhao Xuanglang.

Later, it was almost ten o’clock when she finally returned home.

The Zhong Family home was very quiet. She went straight to Old Sir Zhong and the lady’s room, planning to say hello before heading upstairs to rest.

Unexpectedly, after she had greeted them, Old Sir Zhong asked her to stay.

Old Sir Zhong looked at Zhong Nianyao sitting opposite him, his gaze intense, “Nianyao, I have a few questions for you. Answer me honestly.”

Facing Old Sir Zhong’s penetrating gaze, Zhong Nianyao remained calm and nodded, “Sure, Grandpa, ask away.”

Ever since she exposed Zhong Mengfan’s affairs, she knew that she could not remain unaffected. After all, it was strange enough that she knew about Zhong Mengfan’s pregnancy and also knew that the child could not be born.

The former Zhong Nianyao didn’t have such abilities.

However, she was not worried in the slightest. She was now Zhong Nianyao; this body belonged to Zhong Nianyao, and she possessed all of Zhong Nianyao’s memories.

Old Sir Zhong didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked, “Tell me, how did you know about Mengfan’s pregnancy? And how did you know that the child couldn’t be aborted?”

Zhong Mengfan had already been taken to the hospital for an examination today, and she was indeed pregnant. Although it was early on, it was still detectable.

Normally, aborting the child would not have been a big issue.

But the doctor said that due to Zhong Mengfan’s unique constitution, she could not have an abortion. If she miscarried this time, she might never be able to conceive again.
