The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 70: 70 Chapter: A Visit

Early Monday morning, Zhong Niangyao arrived at school.

However, not long after she entered the gate, she saw Zhao Xuanlang excitedly walking over to her, shouting, “Boss, boss.”

Looking at the somewhat silly Zhao Xuanlang, Zhong Niangyao felt a bit strange. Tenglong Academy was so big; why was it that Zhao Xuanlang always managed to find her? In the past, it was normal not to see each other for a month, but now, since she recognized Zhao Xuanlang as her follower, they seemed to meet much more frequently.

Zhao Xuanlang quickly ran to Zhong Niangyao’s side, his smile bearing a hint of servility, “Boss, you’re here so early today!”

“I have classes in the morning,” Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhao Xuanlang. “What about you, coming so early; you don’t have classes too, do you?”

Life at the university was relatively free, and they weren’t even in the same grade. It couldn’t be such a coincidence that they both had classes every single time!

“I don’t have classes this morning,” Zhao Xuanlang opened carelessly. “But I checked the timetable and knew you had class, so I came over on purpose. I—”

Just as he was speaking, suddenly a ringtone for an incoming call interrupted him, forcing Zhao Xuanlang to stop abruptly.

He took out his cellphone, and upon seeing the name flashing on the screen, without any hesitation, he immediately hung up the call.

“Boss, I—”

He had barely started speaking again when the ringtone sounded once more. The persistent tone seemed as if the caller would keep calling if Zhao Xuanlang didn’t answer.

Zhong Niangyao cast a puzzled look at Zhao Xuanlang.

After hanging up, Zhao Xuanlang simply turned off his phone, then looked up at Zhong Niangyao and explained, “It’s the Meng Family’s call. They probably want to get to you through me.”

Hearing Zhao Xuanlang’s words, Zhong Niangyao nodded knowingly. However, she didn’t say anything, nor did she offer help or refusal.

With no further disturbances from the phone, Zhao Xuanlang continued to chatter beside Zhong Niangyao.

“Is it possible to register for the national painting and calligraphy competition at the school?” Zhong Niangyao suddenly asked.

“Huh?” Zhao Xuanlang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly recovered, “Yes! Boss, are you planning to register? If you do, I’m confident you could win first place.”

Listening to Zhao Xuanlang’s over-the-top flattery, Zhong Niangyao’s expression remained unchanged; she merely nodded, showing she acknowledged his confidence.

Along the way, seeing Zhao Xuanlang trailing behind Zhong Niangyao had become commonplace for everyone. At first, there might have been some chatter, but after some time, everyone had gotten used to it.

During class, while listening to the professor’s lecture, Zhong Niangyao took out her phone to check the announcement for the painting and calligraphy competition.

After class, she went straight to the art department to register.

Having completed the registration and having no classes in the afternoon, she decided not to set up a stall near Tongtian Bridge, so she headed back to the Zhong Family home.

Just as she stepped through the front door, she heard voices inside—it seemed like her uncle Zhong Minghao and his wife Zheng Silin were entertaining some guests.

As she entered, the sight of the visitors added a flicker of understanding to her eyes.

She walked in slowly, then headed upstairs without even greeting anyone.

Just because she chose to ignore them did not mean they intended to let her go that easily.

“Nianyao, you’re back!” Sharp-eyed Zheng Silin spotted Zhong Niangyao heading upstairs and immediately called out, “We have guests at home, come and say hello!”

After speaking, Zheng smiled apologetically at the elegantly dressed couple sitting on the other sofa, “This child, spoiled by the old sir and the lady of the house. Chairman Meng, Mrs. Meng, I’m sorry for any embarrassment.”

Indeed, the guests at the Zhong Family home were none other than Mr. Meng and Madam Meng.@@novelbin@@

After Zhong Niangyao left, they planned to take Meng Rou for a health check-up when her condition improved. Unexpectedly, Rui Kai suddenly returned the next day and insisted that they take Meng Rou to the hospital immediately.

They didn’t know what was the matter, but they didn’t object. After all, it was their initial plan, just moved up a little earlier.

However, when the medical results came out, they could hardly believe their eyes.

Meng Rou’s organs were failing due to compression and an unknown cause of cold inflicting her body. Even with treatment, it was hopeless, and her lifespan would be significantly shortened. Moreover, she would continue to be bedridden in the future.

More importantly, Meng Rou’s uterus was severely damaged, making it nearly impossible for her to get pregnant again in the future.

Upon hearing the diagnosis, the couple almost collapsed. They knew Meng Rou would definitely suffer some damage from this incident, but given her young age, they believed she could recover quickly with proper care.

They did not expect the results to be so severe.

Thinking of Rui Kai’s strange actions, they urgently inquired and found out that Zhao Xuanlang had let it slip unintentionally.

Instantly, they remembered that right after driving the infant baby away, they had immediately made Zhong Niangyao leave.

Filled with regret, they also realized that if they wanted to save Meng Rou, they would probably have to seek Zhong Niangyao’s help again.

Subsequently, Rui Kai kept trying to contact Zhao Xuanlang, hoping he would once again act as a mediator and help reach out.

But Zhao Xuanlang had consistently refused and eventually even turned off his phone.

They had no other choice but to come in person.

However, for Meng Rou’s and the Meng Family’s sake, they dared not reveal the whole story, and merely mentioned wanting Zhong Niangyao’s assistance.

Now Zheng Silin’s words made Mr. and Madam Meng feel quite embarrassed. They had come to seek help, not to offend Zhong Niangyao.

“That’s your guest; it has nothing to do with me,” Zhong Niangyao responded with a faintly mocking smile, looking at Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin. “Uncle, aunt, I’m just your niece, so I would appreciate it if you didn’t involve me in such matters.”

Her words immediately darkened the faces of Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin.

“Zhong Niangyao, come down here,” Zhong Minghao spoke sternly. “Today I’m going to discipline you on behalf of your father.”

“Discipline?” Zhong Niangyao’s lips curved in a mocking arc. “Do you think you have the right to do so?”
