The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Confession

However, Zhong Niangyao felt not a shred of sympathy.

Because the Chen Mei standing before her was also one of the main culprits behind this incident. Now, her repentance was merely because the Little Ghost had been conjured using the soul of her own child.

“Get up,” Zhong Niangyao’s indifferent voice rang out, “Not just Zhao Rongrong, you are also inextricably linked. Within half a month, you both will die.”

Hearing that her death was imminent, Chen Mei’s face showed little emotion, lacking even sadness. Her heart felt as though it were dead ashes without Zhong Niangyao’s response.

On the other hand, Zhao Rongrong was filled with panic, unable to control herself any longer and exclaimed urgently, “I’ll tell, I’ll tell everything, Master, please save me, I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die.”

She was still young, she still had a long life ahead, she didn’t want to die like this.

Finishing her plea, without waiting for Zhong Niangyao to speak, she revealed everything.

It turned out that after Zhao Rongrong entered the entertainment industry, although she gained some fame, she was not particularly successful. Faced with this situation, she was very anxious. Afterwards, she heard from others that one could fulfill their desires by raising a little ghost. Initially, she was very resistant to this idea.

But later, seeing her peers like Xiao Hua becoming dazzling stars, she could no longer care about her reservations. Thus, she shared her thoughts with Chen Mei. Chen Mei eventually agreed and personally helped to make the necessary contacts. However, due to a mishap that led to a miscarriage, Zhao Rongrong had to handle the subsequent matters herself.

At that time, following the advice of the so-called master who helped her with raising the Little Ghost, she took the opportunity of setting up the Eternal Life Tablet for Chen Mei’s accidentally miscarried child and directly had the child turned into the Little Ghost.

After raising the Little Ghost, her career quickly improved, constantly getting film and endorsement offers, and she was heavily promoted by her agency. She was thoroughly pleased with herself.

Of course, she dared not tell Chen Mei about the Little Ghost, thinking that as long as there were no slip-ups, Chen Mei would never find out about it in her lifetime.

However, she hadn’t expected that recently, the Little Ghost had begun to act uncontrollably. She had even tried to find the master who initially helped her raise the Little Ghost, but he was already untraceable.

It wasn’t until she saw Zhong Niangyao today that she realized how bad things had gotten, that she was even risking her own life.

After Zhao Rongrong finished speaking, she continued to murmur lowly, saying it wasn’t intentional, pleading for Zhong Niangyao to save her.

“Have you finished speaking?” When Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhao Rongrong, her eyes were cold, “At this point, still continuing to hide things, it seems you truly don’t cherish your life. Why has your Little Ghost turned on its master? What unforgivable deeds have you had it perform that you aren’t mentioning?”

Raising a Little Ghost is inherently a deed that damages one’s moral virtue, but if you properly worship the Little Ghost without letting it taste blood, things wouldn’t have turned out so terribly.

“Zhao Rongrong!” Wu Qiong spoke up sternly, “What else is there? Tell us everything.”

“I’m telling everything, I’ll tell everything,” Zhao Rongrong said in fright, revealing all her misdeeds, “The car accident of Gu Meng was caused by the Little Ghost I raised, just to snatch that luxury brand endorsement. Also, Hu Yixuan falling from the building during filming was my doing too, all to grab the lead actress role.”

At first, she had never intended to harm anyone, she just wanted to be famous. But once she actually became famous, her desires grew even further. To achieve her goals, she manipulated the Little Ghost to harm others.

In fact, she had harmed many people, but these two incidents were particularly severe. Gu Meng’s car accident resulted in broken bones and facial injuries, leading her to eventually announce her withdrawal from the entertainment industry. As for Hu Yixuan, she fell from a building and severely injured both legs, confined to a wheelchair thereafter.

Everyone present gasped upon hearing Zhao Rongrong’s confession. When they looked at her again, their eyes were filled with disgust and aversion.

Everyone knew about the incidents with Gu Meng and Hu Yixuan, but they had thought they were mere accidents. It turned out, they were all Zhao Rongrong’s doing. Indeed, a woman’s venom knows no bounds!

“You had the Little Ghost stained with blood, but you increasingly neglected it,” Zhong Niangyao continued, “Raising a little ghost requires buying food, toys, clothes for it, and keeping it happy. He did so many deeds that harmed his soul for you, and your growing impatience led him to ultimately turn on his master.”

“I was wrong, I was truly wrong, Master, you must save me,” Zhao Rongrong pleaded incessantly.

“You deserve it,” Chen Mei said with a slow rise of hatred in her eyes, “This is all your retribution, Zhao Rongrong. You harmed my child, you should pay with your life.”

“Sister Chen, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I just… just…”

Zhao Rongrong tried to defend herself, but she didn’t know what to say.

“Both of you can’t escape,” Zhong Niangyao glanced at Zhao Rongrong and Chen Mei, “The Little Ghost has marked both of you. Only by killing you will he be able to rest.”

“Master, can you save my child?” Chen Mei was not thinking of herself but her child, “Even if it costs me my life, I don’t mind. I just hope my child can reincarnate properly, not ending up with his soul scattered. Ultimately, it’s all my fault as a mother. I caused his misery; he is innocent.”

She truly regretted everything. If she hadn’t helped Zhao Rongrong get in touch with that so-called master initially, then Zhao Rongrong wouldn’t have targeted her miscarried child, and that child wouldn’t have—

Thinking about all this genuinely broke her heart.

“Is there really no way, Niangyao?” Mrs. Zhao asked with some sympathy, “That Little Ghost—”

Her sympathy was not for Zhao Rongrong or Chen Mei, but for the Little Ghost.

Zhong Niangyao sighed, “There are too many ghosts waiting to be reincarnated in hell. They finally got the chance to reincarnate but were miscarried before birth, already bearing resentment. However, this time, it wasn’t that Chen Mei as the mother didn’t want him; it was an accident, so the child’s resentment isn’t strong. Once back in hell, he should be quickly arranged for reincarnation.”

“But sadly, Zhao Rongrong turned him into a Little Ghost and even had him stained with blood, forever barring him from transcendence. Now, this Little Ghost carries heavy resentment, and he won’t be appeased without killing Zhao Rongrong and Chen Mei.”
