The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 500 - Chapter 500 Chapter 500 The Only Child

Chapter 500: Chapter 500 The Only Child Chapter 500: Chapter 500 The Only Child “When we were together, he often talked to me about the things that happened in the military. He truly loved life in the military; it was just that his health didn’t allow it, and he had to retire reluctantly.”

“Unfortunately, even after getting that sum of money, his father’s illness wasn’t cured. He only had his father as family, so after his father passed away, he left his hometown and came over to the Imperial Capital. That’s when he became my bodyguard.”

“The first time I saw him, I felt that this man was a true, upstanding man. And indeed, he was. It’s just a pity that such a man died because of me.”

While speaking, Long Jiarui’s face always wore a shallow, warm smile. It was obvious that those memories were the most beautiful ones of her life.

Towards the end, her voice started to choke up again.

Seeing her like this, Zhong Niangyao’s expression didn’t change at all, “He loved you very much. Although you can’t be together in this life, there’s still the next.”

Hearing this, Long Jiarui, who had been immersed in sorrow, suddenly looked up, her eyes shining when she looked at Zhong Niangyao, “You… you mean we can still be together in our next life?”

“Mm,” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “He used the merit of his entire life to exchange for a chance to be with you in the next.”

“Merit?”

“That’s right.” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “He did many missions when he was a soldier, saved many people, and accumulated a lot of merit. Originally, this merit could have let him be reincarnated into a good life, rich and prosperous for his entire life. Yet, he chose to use all of it for the chance to be with you in the next life.”

“Are you serious?” Hope and ecstasy burst forth from Long Jiarui’s eyes, “He really… really…”

“Yes, it’s true.” Zhong Niangyao confirmed with a nod, “He hasn’t been reincarnated yet, he’s still waiting for you.”

At this point, Long Jiarui believed Zhong Niangyao without a doubt, so upon hearing what she said, her expression gained a hint of anxiety, “Then he must already know that I’ve married Lu Chenran. Won’t he regret using his merit for our next life?”

“He won’t,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head, “He’s a man of strong will, resolute in his decisions and won’t regret them. Plus, he loves you very much and doesn’t want you to wait for him your whole life. He hopes you can be happy, and that another man can take his place to care for you.”

Unfortunately, Long Jiarui chose to marry Lu Chenran, a scumbag, for a family-arranged marriage. That man must be very worried!

Long Jiarui kept shaking her head and looked at Zhong Niangyao as if she was her savior, “Then what… what should I do?”

“You don’t need to do anything.” Zhong Niangyao thought for a moment, looking at Long Jiarui’s obviously anxious face, then continued, “If you really want to do something, then do more good deeds! The more good deeds you do, the more merit you accumulate, which is very beneficial for reincarnation.”

Long Jiarui kept nodding, already contemplating how to do good deeds.

Just then, Zhong Niangyao suddenly took out her phone, opened the payment code, and said, “Pay up!”

“Huh?”

This abrupt change left Long Jiarui momentarily unable to react.

“There’s no charge for an inaccurate prediction, but if it’s accurate, you still have to pay,” Zhong Niangyao wasn’t shy and just stated, “Give me one thousand yuan.”

The atmosphere that had been somewhat heavy lightened up after this, and Long Jiarui couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

She quickly took out her phone and transferred the money to Zhong Niangyao.

Seeing the twenty thousand yuan Long Jiarui had sent over, Zhong Niangyao frowned, “Didn’t I say just one thousand yuan would be fine?”

“That was voluntary,” Long Jiarui said with a chagrined look on her face, “Actually, if there weren’t a limit on WeChat transfers, I would have liked to give more as a fortune-telling fee.”

Zhong Niangyao took out her phone and quickly made a transaction; the twenty thousand yuan she had just received was donated right away.

She considered reading fortunes as meddling in others’ karma, so she would donate all the fortune-telling fees afterward, no matter the amount.

Of course, this only referred to fortune-telling. As for exorcising ghosts and other services, sometimes she would donate half of the reward, sometimes most of it, depending on her mood.

Looking at Zhong Niangyao again, Long Jiarui’s eyes had undergone a tremendous change, filled with a hint of reverence.

Zhong Niangyao glanced at Long Jiarui, and then said, “The child in your belly–”

“What about the child? Will there be a problem?” Long Jiarui became anxious.

Although she didn’t like the promiscuous Lu Chenran, the child inside her was hers, and she was very much looking forward to it. Now, hearing Zhong Niangyao suddenly bring up the child, her heart suddenly lifted.

“The child will be fine; he will be born safely and lead a smooth life,” Zhong Niangyao gently shook her head and continued, “Only, this child might just be the only child Lu Chenran will have in his lifetime.”

Long Jiarui blinked, incredulous, “How is that possible? All those women Lu Chenran is keeping outside, won’t they ever get pregnant?”

This child would be her only child in this lifetime. Having this child was enough to fulfill her part in this arranged marriage. And now, she also knew that someone was waiting for her in hell.

From now on, she would never share a bed with Lu Chenran again.

But now, Zhong Niangyao was saying that this child would be Lu Chenran’s only child.

What exactly did that mean?

However, although it seemed unbelievable, she had never doubted Zhong Niangyao’s words.

After what had just happened, she completely trusted Zhong Niangyao’s abilities.

“Heh,” Zhong Niangyao gave a mysterious smile, then continued, “Buddha said, ‘Some things are not to be spoken of.’ It’s said that the Heavenly Secret should not be revealed. You will know in due time.”

Watching Zhong Niangyao with that mysterious look, Long Jiarui became even more curious. However, seeing that Zhong Niangyao had no intention of continuing, she didn’t press her further.

After thinking for a while, Long Jiarui suddenly said, “Nianyao, there’s something in my family that I want to ask for your help with, if it’s not too much trouble?”
