The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Transcendence

Zhong Niangyao wasn’t foolish, so she naturally could see that Meng Rou wasn’t truly repentant. She was simply willing to temporarily bow her head to save her own life.

However, that didn’t concern her. The one she actually came to save today wasn’t Meng Rou but the infant ghost.

That infant ghost really was pitiable. It finally had the opportunity to be reincarnated as a human but had its hopes shattered again due to Meng Rou’s actions. Even more so, due to its resentment, it had already transformed into an Evil Ghost.

If in the end, the infant ghost really did kill Meng Rou and became stained with blood, then wanting to be reincarnated as a human again wouldn’t be easy. Moreover, upon returning to hell, it would still be punished.

For the sake of a Meng Rou, it wasn’t worth it.

After she heard what Zhong Niangyao had to say, a sliver of a dark light flashed through the depths of Meng Rou’s eyes. She struggled for a bit, then got off the bed and walked slowly to the infant ghost’s side.

Without saying anything, she reached out her arms and hugged the infant ghost tightly.

The infant ghost, who was initially struggling fiercely, became vicious when it saw Meng Rou approach. However, it never expected Meng Rou to actually embrace it. In an instant, it was enveloped in a wave of warmth.

It seemed to realize that it was in its mother’s embrace, and all the infant ghost’s actions stopped. Even the fierce expression on its face softened.

All eyes were focused on Meng Rou and the infant ghost.

When Meng Rou started walking towards the infant ghost, Madam Meng subconsciously wanted to pull her back. Although it looked like a baby, the infant ghost was still a ghost. Moreover, it had been tormenting Meng Rou earlier. In her view, Meng Rou’s advancement would only lead to harm.

But Mr. Meng stopped Madam Meng, with a sharp look that ensured she didn’t dare make any move.

He had realized today that Meng Rou, as they knew her, was nothing like their daughter. She always put on a good front in front of them. They couldn’t continue to indulge her, or else Meng Rou’s whole life would truly be ruined. Since Meng Rou had caused this trouble, she had to resolve it herself. This also was the only way to save Meng Rou.

Holding the infant ghost tightly, tears kept streaming down Meng Rou’s face, her voice filled with guilt and compassion, “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. It wasn’t intentional, I don’t love you any less. It’s just that I was too young and faced with such a situation, I simply didn’t know how to handle it, so I gave up on you.”

“I didn’t know, I didn’t know you had suffered so much. If I had known, I would have definitely given birth to you and raised you well. I’m sorry, I’m truly sorry.”

Besides the resentment due to the inability to be reincarnated, the infant ghost was also filled with hatred because its mother abandoned it. Now, hearing his mother’s apologies one after another, the resentment on him began to fade away as well. The initially pitch-black body was slowly losing its color, gradually turning into the appearance of a normal infant around one-year-old.

The golden light that had bound the infant ghost disappeared without a trace when it returned to the appearance of a normal infant.

As if she noticed nothing, Meng Rou continued to hold the infant, “Baby, I’m sorry, I truly love you. This time I’ve wronged you. In the future, could you be reincarnated as my son again? I promise, I will never abandon you again. I will love you well and give you the most blissful family.”

As she spoke, Meng Rou’s tears continued to flow.

The infant ghost was also quietly held in the arms, its face even bearing a hint of a happy smile.

And because of the change in the infant ghost, the coldness in the room also gradually dissipated.

Seeing such a touching scene unfold before their eyes, the people in the room couldn’t help but moisten their eyes.

Only Zhong Niangyao remained still, sitting there quietly, without any superfluous movement or words. No one knew what she was thinking at that moment.

After a long while, Meng Rou slowly let go of the infant ghost, then wiped away her tears, “Baby, this time it was all my fault. But I hope you won’t punish yourself for my mistakes. Leave now! Lingering in the Human World any longer will do you no good.”

“If you want to take revenge on me, even if it means taking my life, it’s okay. But I still hope you leave and go to a place that belongs to you, to wait for rebirth. In the future, if there’s a chance, I hope you can become my son again. So I can have the chance to make it up to you.”

The infant ghost no longer looked like the Evil Ghost it was before, appearing obedient and subdued. He looked at Meng Rou, blinked his eyes, and then spoke, “Mommy, I love you.”@@novelbin@@

The milky voice was so tender it sparked an involuntary sense of pity in the listener.

Meng Rou was stunned for a moment, a strange feeling flickering in her heart, but she quickly regained her composure and tried to smile at the infant ghost, “Baby, I love you too.”

The tender moment was something no one wanted to interrupt.

It was at this time that Zhong Niangyao stood up, walked forward, and spoke, “Infant ghost, so do you still want to continue taking revenge on Meng Rou?”

“I will leave,” said the milky voice again, “now that I know mommy loves me, I will no longer linger in the Human World.”

After that, he looked again at Meng Rou, his gaze filled with admiration, “Mommy, I’m leaving now.”

“Mhm.” Meng Rou nodded, her tears flowing continuously as she covered her mouth, seemingly trying to control her overwhelming emotions.

Zhong Niangyao waved her hand and then began to recite the transcendence scripture.

“Thus have I heard, at one time the Buddha was in Daoli Heaven, expounding the Dharma to his mother. At that time, countless Buddhas from ten directions and great bodhisattvas gathered, extolling Shakyamuni Buddha for manifesting inconceivable wisdom and powers in a morally defiled world, taming the stubborn beings, understanding the laws of suffering and joy. Each sent their attendants to greet the World-honored One…”

As the sound of the transcendence scripture rose, a golden light began to envelop the infant ghost. Within that light, the ghost’s expression became increasingly peaceful, and its body started to turn into flecks of light until it disappeared completely.

Everyone stood there quietly, watching the scene unfold before them, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.

Only when Meng Rou collapsed to the ground did people start to come to their senses.

Immediately, Meng Kai Rui rushed over, scooped up Meng Rou, and laid her back on the bed.
