The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Are You Still Alive

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, a hint of regret flashed across Old Madam Zhong’s face, “When you warned me back then, I didn’t understand what you meant, but I still tightened the surveillance on Meng Fan. I also spoke to your grandaunt about it, it’s just a pity that she didn’t take it seriously either. I didn’t expect things to have escalated to this point.”

Seeing the regretful expression on Old Madam Zhong’s face, Old Sir Zhong glanced at Zhong Niangyao, “Why didn’t you make it clearer back then!”

He wasn’t actually blaming her, but seeing the self-blame on Old Madam Zhong’s face made him upset.

“Grandpa, I couldn’t help it!” Zhong Niangyao spread her hands, “Haven’t you heard the saying ‘Heavenly secrets must not be revealed’? Have you ever seen a fortune teller who tells everything clearly?”

Her words left Old Sir Zhong unable to argue.

Beside him, Old Madam Zhong couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle, but then, as if she had thought of something, she became a bit nervous, “Yaoyao, doing this, could it affect you in any way? I’ve heard that fortune tellers who reveal too much of the Heavenly Secret will be punished by the gods.”

“Grandma, don’t worry, I know my limits,” Zhong Niangyao explained with a smile, “I often do good deeds, and I donate more than half of the money I earn from fortune telling.”

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Old Sir Zhong turned to look at Zhong Niangyao, his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but, after thinking twice, he still didn’t speak.

“Grandpa, if you have something to say, just say it.”

Zhong Niangyao noticed Old Sir Zhong’s hesitation, “There’s nothing we can’t talk about between us, right?”

“Ah—”

After sighing, Old Sir Zhong couldn’t control the yearning in his heart and eventually asked, “Yaoyao, didn’t you say you can tell fortunes? Then… can you calculate whether your dad… is he still alive?”

In the end, he couldn’t help but ask.

All along, his youngest son had been the pain in his and his old wife’s hearts. Over the years, they had always maintained that their son must still be alive. As long as they had not seen the body, they would absolutely not admit that something had happened to him.

But deep down in their hearts, they still had a vague concern, worried that their son really had met with an accident.

They had sent many people to investigate, but there was still no news. They could only cling to this sliver of hope.

Today, knowing that Zhong Niangyao had such abilities, he actually didn’t want to ask, but in the end, he couldn’t help but inquire. They wanted to know the truth, even if this truth could shatter the hope they had maintained for so many years.

Old Madam Zhong couldn’t help but lift her head to look at Zhong Niangyao, her eyes full of hope, but still, she said, “Yaoyao, it’s okay if you can’t figure it out. After so many years, we’ve come to terms with it.”

Zhong Niangyao bit her lip, sighed, and finally spoke, “Grandpa, Grandma, actually, I had calculated this a long time ago. My father and I have a father-daughter relationship; it’s too deeply entangled, so the divination wasn’t very clear.”

“However, looking at your faces, there are no signs of the white-haired person sending off the black-haired, which means my dad is still alive.”

“Only, I don’t know why he hasn’t come back. Maybe he’s encountered some thorny issues, or perhaps something is holding him back.”

“That’s all I can calculate. As for the rest, probably my abilities aren’t sufficient yet; I can’t see more.”

“That’s enough, enough, this is already enough,” Old Madam Zhong cried tears of joy, “Just to know that Ming Xin is still alive is already enough!”

Old Sir Zhong held Old Madam Zhong’s hand tightly. Although he said nothing, tears filled his eyes, and the excitement in his gaze was evident.

Perhaps this was the first time in many years that they truly felt what real hope was like!

After a long while, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong gradually calmed down. However, their eyes were still a bit red.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.”

After Old Sir Zhong composed himself, he turned to look at Zhong Niangyao, “Yaoyao, I know that you and Meng Fan don’t have a good relationship. But still, I want to ask you, is there really no solution for Meng Fan’s current situation?”

Zhong Niangyao gently shook her head, “Actually, I’ve already warned her very clearly before. It’s just that she didn’t want to believe what I said. This romantic calamity is a destined ordeal in her life. As for the child—”

“The child is destined to be born, and if it’s really aborted, Meng Fan may have to pay a severe price.”

The doctor had said that if Meng Fan aborted the child, she might not be able to conceive in the future.

But in reality, the price to be paid was far greater than that. If the child was indeed aborted, Meng Fan might not even make it off the operating table.

Of course, she wouldn’t say these things out loud for fear of frightening Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong.

Moreover, just the idea of being unable to be a mother might be enough to deter Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin from aborting the child in Meng Fan’s womb. Therefore, there was no need for her to say more.

“Well, it’s getting late.”

Old Sir Zhong rubbed his temples and waved his hand, “Yaoyao, go back and rest!”

He didn’t have any objections to Zhong Niangyao; it was just that they were truly troubled by Meng Fan’s situation and didn’t know what to do.

Zhong Niangyao arched an eyebrow and said nothing more, quickly getting up and leaving the room.

Soon, only Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong were left in the room.

They had learned too many things today, starting with Zhong Niangyao’s unbelievable yet true experiences.

Indeed, they hadn’t doubted a single word Zhong Niangyao said because her change was indeed significant. Apart from that explanation, they couldn’t think of any other reason.

However, the most pressing matter now was Meng Fan’s situation.

Even the joy of learning that Ming Xin was still alive tonight couldn’t wash away the worries brought about by the trouble Meng Fan had caused.

The child Meng Fan was carrying was meant to be born, so they had to make careful plans. They couldn’t let Meng Fan have a child out of wedlock, right? How would she ever marry then!
