The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Expulsion Order

Meng Rou sat on the bed, half leaning against the headboard. Her stomach had completely receded, but the toll of the recent events had left her looking haggard. Furthermore, all the nourishment during this period had been absorbed by the infant ghost inside her, leaving her skin and bones.

Though the deathly pallor had faded, she still appeared very worn and utterly devoid of spirit.

The infant ghost had left, and the Meng Family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Despite the resentment they felt for what she had done, she was still their daughter, their sister, and seeing her in this state pained them.

Madam Meng sighed, sat down beside the bed, reached out, and stroked Meng Rou’s hair, “Rou, don’t think about anything now, just rest well.”

Meng Rou nodded obediently.

Mr. Meng glanced at Meng Rou’s obedient demeanor and couldn’t help but sigh. Then, he turned and approached Zhong Niangyao, his tone polite yet distant, “Lady Zhong, I really appreciate what you did today. I will transfer the payment to your account. The house is in chaos right now, so I won’t keep you.”

This clear dismissal could even be felt as cutting off all ties after crossing the bridge.

Although Zhong Niangyao had resolved Meng Rou’s issue today, and he could tell that Zhong Niangyao was genuinely skilled, her attitude from start to finish was somewhat hard for him to accept. Moreover, now his family’s disgrace was known to her.

He didn’t know if Zhong Niangyao would spread the word about Meng Rou’s situation, but seeing her now made him uncomfortable.

Zhao Xuanglang was already quite dissatisfied, but because Mr. Meng was an elder and also a good friend of Carey, it was difficult to say anything.

“Alright.” Zhong Niangyao nodded, her gaze passing Mr. Meng and landing on Meng Rou, “Since you think everything has been resolved, I will naturally take my leave.”

Although it was a simple statement, it seemed to carry a strange undertone.

But before anyone could ponder it further, Zhong Niangyao had already turned and left.

Watching this, Zhao Xuanglang patted Carey on the shoulder, sighed, and then chased after Zhong Niangyao.

“Boss, wait for me! Let’s go together.”

Inside the room—

“Dad, mom, are we really doing the right thing?” Carey looked at his parents and then at Meng Rou sitting on the bed, his face marked with hesitation and unease, “I always feel like there’s more to it.”

“What more could there be!” Madam Meng didn’t seem to care much, “Now that Xiao Rou is fine, should we still let people stay and laugh at our family?”

“But they did help Xiao Rou, we—”

Before he could finish, Madam Meng interrupted him, “Enough, no more talk. The most important thing right now is your sister. Besides, it’s not like we let her help for nothing, we’ll give her a generous compensation.”

Mr. Meng waved his hand, “Let Xiao Rou rest at home for a couple of days, then take her to the hospital for a check-up!”

Having the infant ghost in Meng Rou’s stomach for so long, it was hard to know if it might have caused any issues, so a check-up seemed prudent.

Meng Rou kept her head down and didn’t speak, simply sitting there quietly and obediently, showing no signs of the fact she had just recently been to Hong Kong for an abortion.

At this moment, Meng Rou remained silent not because she didn’t want to speak but because she worried that speaking might remind her family of what she had done.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xuanglang quickly caught up with Zhong Niangyao.

As he walked beside her, he scratched his head and awkwardly spoke, “Boss, I’m really sorry, I didn’t know Uncle Meng would treat you like that.”

He hadn’t expected that after Zhong Niangyao helped the family resolve the issue, the Meng family would simply offer flimsy thanks and dismiss her so promptly.

Had he known, he wouldn’t have introduced her to them in the first place.

“It’s fine,” Zhong Niangyao’s lips curved into a meaningful smile, “Since they think everything has been resolved, it no longer concerns me. It’s quite alright this way!”

Hearing her words, Zhao Xuanglang slowed down his pace, then with widened eyes, he hurriedly followed, “Boss, what do you mean? Is there still something unresolved about Meng Rou’s condition?”

“The infant ghost is indeed resolved. However—” Zhong Niangyao’s smile grew brighter, “that doesn’t mean everything’s settled. There are still issues with Meng Rou’s body that haven’t been addressed!”

“What?” Zhao Xuanglang exclaimed, somewhat incoherent, “Could there be something else inside her stomach?”

He had clearly seen the infant ghost being removed and Meng Rou’s stomach deflate!

“Hehe, being occupied by an infant ghost, how could there be no consequences?” Zhong Niangyao scoffed, “Moreover, the yin energy and ghost energy were so strong.”

Zhao Xuanglang widened his eyes, “Boss, why didn’t you say anything at the Meng’s house?”

“Why would I?” Zhong Niangyao shrugged, her eyes flashing with indifference, “Besides, Meng Rou really brought it upon herself.”

“But she seemed to be repentant!” Zhao Xuanglang’s tone carried some sympathy.

When he saw Meng Rou embracing the infant ghost, he was deeply moved, almost to tears. Thus, he believed that Meng Rou genuinely realized her mistake.

Could there be something he didn’t know?@@novelbin@@

“Repentant?” Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhao Xuanglang as if he were a fool, “Forget about the Meng family, they always see Meng Rou through a filter. I didn’t expect your vision to be so poor too!”

“What!” Zhao Xuanglang was shocked, yet he didn’t doubt her words, only eagerly asking, “Boss, what do you mean exactly? Please tell me, don’t keep me in suspense, okay?”

“Meng Rou was just acting.” Zhong Niangyao bluntly pierced through the facade, “She had no intention of repenting. Everything she did was just to get rid of that infant ghost!”

“No way!” Zhao Xuanglang found it hard to believe, “I saw her being so earnest, and really thought she had repented!”
