Chapter 531: Chapter 531 Visiting Half a Month Later Chapter 531: Chapter 531 Visiting Half a Month Later “Xiao Rou, what in the world is wrong with you?” Madam ng looked at ng Rou anxiously, “What on earth does Zhong Niangyao an by this?”
ng Rou seed soulless, her eyes dull and lifeless. No matter how Madam ng questioned her, ng Rou remained silent.
“Lady Zhong!” ng Ruikai spoke with difficulty, “If Xiao Rou… if she has indeed done sothing wrong, we’ll apologize on her behalf, it’s just—”
He didn’t even finish his sentence before Zhong Niangyao interrupted him directly, “Stop apologizing, it’s useless. Many things can’t be resolved with an apology. And—”
When Zhong Niangyao looked at ng Ruikai, her expression carried a hint of mockery, “The reason you’re apologizing now is because you’re well aware, aren’t you? That she has committed another unforgivable act!”
ng Ruikai bowed his head in sha, unsure what to say in his humiliation.
As for Zhong Niangyao’s response to ng Ruikai, she was utterly indifferent. She waved her hand and said without a care, “I’ve already returned the person to you. In half a month, I will co knocking again. By then, be ready to collect her corpse!”
At those words, the faces of Madam ng and ng Ruikai turned ashen.
As Zhong Niangyao was about to leave, ng Ruikai hurriedly stepped forward, trying to stop her.
But as soon as he moved, two burly n blocked him, preventing him from getting anywhere near Zhong Niangyao.
Madam ng, anwhile, looked anxious and worried. But because she was supporting ng Rou, she could not step forward.
“Lady Zhong, I an no offense,” ng Ruikai quickly said, “I just want to ask, what exactly is wrong with Xiao Rou? Why… why do you say that in half a month—”
“What’s inside her isn’t a child at all, but a ghost baby, full of vengeful spirit.”
Feeling there was no need to hide anything, Zhong Niangyao spoke indifferently, “She colluded with an Evil Cultivator, thinking he granted her the status of a mother. In reality, he just wanted to use her womb to breed the ghost baby. In half a month, the ghost baby will co into this world. The day the ghost baby is born will be the day ng Rou loses her life.”
After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, disbelief filled the depths of ng Ruikai’s eyes.
He genuinely couldn’t understand. ng Rou had already suffered once before—why would she make the sa mistake again now?
Madam ng, still supporting ng Rou, felt as though darkness was closing in on her. If it weren’t for having to hold onto ng Rou, she might have already collapsed under the shock.
“Lady Zhong—” ng Ruikai clenched his teeth, his face marked with difficulty, as he began, “Could you possibly—”
He was cut off before he could finish.
Zhong Niangyao raised her hand, silencing ng Ruikai’s next words, “No. I know what you’re going to say. Even if I didn’t, you should be able to guess that ng Rou intended to harm today, right? Do you think I look like the kind of idiot who repays evil with kindness?”
“ng Rou wanted my life, and I managed to evade it because I am skilled. But if you’re thinking I’ll save ng Rou, that’s absolutely impossible. I’m not so magnanimous that I’d help the very person who wanted dead.”
Zhong Niangyao’s words, each and every one, seed to place her at the peak of moral high ground, leaving ng Ruikai unable to utter a word.
After speaking her piece, Zhong Niangyao, without paying any more attention to ng Ruikai, took Lu Yichen’s hand and left the house, striding out of the ng Family residence.
Inside the ng Family residence—
Long after Zhong Niangyao had left, Madam ng and ng Ruikai ca back to their senses. After settling ng Rou, both of their expressions were far from pleasant.
“Rui Kai, what should we do now?” Madam ng spoke with a choked voice, “Xiao Rou, she… she…”
She couldn’t accept the idea that her young daughter was left with only half a month to live.
She didn’t doubt Zhong Niangyao’s words since there was no reason for the other party to lie to her. Plus, she had said she would return in half a month, which would coincide with the birth of the ghost baby.
“Don’t worry too much, Mom,” Rui Kai consoled without any solutions at hand, “We still aren’t clear on how things will unfold. Maybe Xiao Rou will be alright in the end!”
Though he said this, he had no confidence in his heart, because even he knew, if what Zhong Niangyao said was true, there really was no hope for ng Rou.
“Rui Kai—” Madam ng pondered before shaking her head, “We should still inform your father about this. And we must find out what exactly happened here today as soon as possible.”
“And regarding Xiao Rou’s current state, who knows what Fourth Young Master Lu will think.”
After hearing Madam ng’s words, ng Ruikai couldn’t help but sigh.
He held no hope at this point, and he hadn’t forgotten that Third Master Lu Yichen from the Lu Family had co with Zhong Niangyao today. Wasn’t this indirectly representing the stance of the Lu Family?
If what Zhong Niangyao said was true, the Lu Family would never accept Xiao Rou.
And as for Zhong Niangyao, he could guess that ng Rou might have attempted to deal with her today. He just didn’t expect that she would target Zhong Niangyao’s life.
If there truly was a ghost baby in ng Rou’s womb now, the only person who could help her was Zhong Niangyao. But ng Rou had offended her deeply.
These thoughts made his head hurt.
But it wasn’t just ng Ruikai who felt headache. Zhong Niangyao did too.
The car had arrived outside the Zhong Family’s residence. Zhong Niangyao, who was in the car, was no longer in disarray with blood stains as before, having changed into clean clothes. However, her appearance was still the sa as before, with the Red Spider Lily on her forehead and her golden pupils standing out conspicuously.
Even though she had already agreed on an explanation with Lu Yichen, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help feeling that sothing was amiss.
“Yichen, do you think I should wear colored contacts instead?” Zhong Niangyao turned her head and blinked her golden eyes, “These golden eyes really do look strange!”
She didn’t care about other people’s reactions. The only ones she cared about were Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong. With her current appearance, she didn’t know if it would frighten the elderly couple, considering the considerable change.
