The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 533 - Chapter 533 Chapter 533 All property as compensation

Chapter 533: Chapter 533 All property as compensation Chapter 533: Chapter 533 All property as compensation Zhong Niangyao and Zhao Xuanglang were talking as they walked towards the door. To be accurate, it was Zhao Xuanglang who kept talking while Zhong Niangyao just listened.

As they were about to reach the door, Zhao Xuanglang suddenly cursed, “Fuck! What’s he doing here?”

Zhong Niangyao was somewhat curious and looked up to see a figure standing at the entrance of the academy, glancing inside from time to time as if searching for something.

When he saw her, his eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly walked towards her.

Zhao Xuanglang really couldn’t stand it anymore and, before the other person got close, he spoke mercilessly, “Meng Ruikai, what are you doing here? Are you coming up with some wicked plan to harm the boss again?”

Indeed, the person who came was none other than Meng Ruikai. A wry smile appeared on his face upon hearing Zhao Xuanglang’s words.

“Xuan Lang, there’s no need to be so hostile towards me. I harbor no ill will towards Lady Zhong,”

“Besides, I wouldn’t dare do anything in front of Lady Zhong; I too cherish my own life.”

“Who knows!”

Zhao Xuanglang didn’t relax just because of Meng Ruikai’s self-deprecating comment and remained very vigilant, “Who knows what you’re scheming!”

“If it wasn’t for you taking advantage of me before, the boss wouldn’t have been deceived by Meng Rou.”

“I genuinely didn’t know about that,” Meng Ruikai quickly explained, “It was–”

“It doesn’t matter who it was.”

Zhong Niangyao spoke indifferently, cutting off Meng Ruikai, “You’re in my way.”

She didn’t hold any grudge against Meng Ruikai, and believed that in this matter, Meng Ruikai had indeed been used. But so what?

“Lady Zhong, I know my request is abrupt, but–” Meng Ruikai said urgently.

But just as he began, Zhao Xuanglang interrupted him, “Since you know it’s abrupt, then don’t speak at all.”

Facing Zhao Xuanglang’s continuous targeting, Meng Ruikai felt truly aggrieved. He looked at Zhao Xuanglang and said directly, “Xuan Lang, I thought we were friends.”

“Don’t, I can’t afford a friend like you,” Zhao Xuanglang quickly raised his hand to stop him, “For Meng Rou, you’ve lost the ability to tell right from wrong now. Who knows if you’ll stab me in the back for her someday!”

Meng Ruikai’s heart was filled with bitterness; he never expected that his relationship with Zhao Xuanglang would deteriorate to such a point. The two of them had been close brothers since childhood, but now over the issue with Meng Rou, they were nearly at the point of ceasing all contact; it was tough for him too.

Many times, he questioned himself whether it was all worth it. But he remained without an answer. Because Meng Rou was his sister, he had no choice but to stand by her.

Regathering his emotions, Meng Ruikai looked at Zhong Niangyao, took a deep breath, and said, “Lady Zhong, about Xiao Rou, I hope you could–”

“No.”

Before Meng Ruikai could finish, Zhong Niangyao spoke directly, “I’m not a Holy Mother, I absolutely won’t save someone who wants to harm me. However, when Meng Rou breathes her last, I’ll certainly be present.”

Her words were so unpleasant that Meng Ruikai’s complexion changed, but he quickly recovered, still with a sincere expression, “Lady Zhong, we really are quite sincere. As long as you are willing to save Xiao Rou, whatever your conditions are, we’ll agree to them.”

Meng Rou’s belly had swollen up like a balloon in just a few days, growing rapidly. Despite not being three months along yet, she looked as if she was about to deliver. And her spirit seemed completely drained, a young girl yet with hair turning white and wrinkles appearing on her skin. If this continued, she wouldn’t live much longer.

They dared not take Meng Rou to the hospital, for they all knew that what was causing her condition was the thing inside her. Even a hospital visit wouldn’t solve the problem; it would only raise suspicions.

Now, apart from Zhong Niangyao, they couldn’t think of anyone else who could help them.

Even though Zhong Niangyao was likely to refuse, he had no other option.

“Any condition, you say?” Zhong Niangyao’s eyes flickered, and a playful smirk formed on her lips before she said, “If I say that the price for me to save Meng Rou is all of the Meng Family’s current wealth as my payment, would you agree?”

“What?” Meng Ruikai never expected such a demand from Zhong Niangyao.

“I’m saying, if you’re willing to offer up all of the Meng Family’s current wealth, then I’ll go save Meng Rou,” Zhong Niangyao repeated with a smile, “The question is, will you agree?”

After confirming Zhong Niangyao’s conditions, Meng Ruikai was instantly plunged into deep silence. For a moment, he truly didn’t know how to respond.

Yes, he indeed cherished his sister Meng Rou. But to use all of the Meng Family’s wealth to save her, he couldn’t help but hesitate.

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, having lived a life of luxury from childhood. So he couldn’t imagine, if he lost his current affluent life, what it would be like to endure oppression from bosses and ridicule from those around him for just a few thousand yuan a month, like ordinary people.

Moreover, even if he agreed now, his father would never agree.

Watching Meng Ruikai struggle, a sardonic smile formed on the corners of Zhong Niangyao’s mouth.

Just now, he had talked a good game, claiming they would agree to any condition. And now, when faced with such massive interests, he was considering giving up, wasn’t he?

It really is the easiest thing in the world to be generous with other people’s resources.

“Meng Ruikai, you could at least grunt a response, couldn’t you?” Zhao Xuanglang spoke impatiently, “Just now, you were so eager to save Meng Rou, weren’t you? How come you’ve gone silent after hearing the boss’s demand?”

How poor were his judgment skills back then! To think he had been such good friends with someone like this was truly a waste of so many years of affection.

Pressed by Zhao Xuanglang’s urging, Meng Ruikai’s face showed his dilemma as he turned to Zhong Niangyao, “Lady Zhong, this matter, I still need to discuss it with my father.”
