Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Expulsion Order
ng Rou sat on the bed, half leaning against the headboard. Her stomach had completely receded, but the toll of the recent events had left her looking haggard. Furthermore, all the nourishnt during this period had been absorbed by the infant ghost inside her, leaving her skin and bones.
Though the deathly pallor had faded, she still appeared very worn and utterly devoid of spirit.
The infant ghost had left, and the ng Family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Despite the resentnt they felt for what she had done, she was still their daughter, their sister, and seeing her in this state pained them.
Madam ng sighed, sat down beside the bed, reached out, and stroked ng Rou’s hair, “Rou, don’t think about anything now, just rest well.”
ng Rou nodded obediently.
Mr. ng glanced at ng Rou’s obedient deanor and couldn’t help but sigh. Then, he turned and approached Zhong Niangyao, his tone polite yet distant, “Lady Zhong, I really appreciate what you did today. I will transfer the paynt to your account. The house is in chaos right now, so I won’t keep you.”
This clear dismissal could even be felt as cutting off all ties after crossing the bridge.
Although Zhong Niangyao had resolved ng Rou’s issue today, and he could tell that Zhong Niangyao was genuinely skilled, her attitude from start to finish was sowhat hard for him to accept. Moreover, now his family’s disgrace was known to her.
He didn’t know if Zhong Niangyao would spread the word about ng Rou’s situation, but seeing her now made him uncomfortable.
Zhao Xuanglang was already quite dissatisfied, but because Mr. ng was an elder and also a good friend of Carey, it was difficult to say anything.
“Alright.” Zhong Niangyao nodded, her gaze passing Mr. ng and landing on ng Rou, “Since you think everything has been resolved, I will naturally take my leave.”
Although it was a simple statent, it seed to carry a strange undertone.
But before anyone could ponder it further, Zhong Niangyao had already turned and left.
Watching this, Zhao Xuanglang patted Carey on the shoulder, sighed, and then chased after Zhong Niangyao.
“Boss, wait for ! Let’s go together.”
Inside the room—
“Dad, mom, are we really doing the right thing?” Carey looked at his parents and then at ng Rou sitting on the bed, his face marked with hesitation and unease, “I always feel like there’s more to it.”
“What more could there be!” Madam ng didn’t seem to care much, “Now that Xiao Rou is fine, should we still let people stay and laugh at our family?”
“But they did help Xiao Rou, we—”
Before he could finish, Madam ng interrupted him, “Enough, no more talk. The most important thing right now is your sister. Besides, it’s not like we let her help for nothing, we’ll give her a generous compensation.”
Mr. ng waved his hand, “Let Xiao Rou rest at ho for a couple of days, then take her to the hospital for a check-up!”
Having the infant ghost in ng Rou’s stomach for so long, it was hard to know if it might have caused any issues, so a check-up seed prudent.
ng Rou kept her head down and didn’t speak, simply sitting there quietly and obediently, showing no signs of the fact she had just recently been to Hong Kong for an abortion.
At this mont, ng Rou remained silent not because she didn’t want to speak but because she worried that speaking might remind her family of what she had done.
anwhile, Zhao Xuanglang quickly caught up with Zhong Niangyao.
As he walked beside her, he scratched his head and awkwardly spoke, “Boss, I’m really sorry, I didn’t know Uncle ng would treat you like that.”
He hadn’t expected that after Zhong Niangyao helped the family resolve the issue, the ng family would simply offer flimsy thanks and dismiss her so promptly.
Had he known, he wouldn’t have introduced her to them in the first place.
“It’s fine,” Zhong Niangyao’s lips curved into a aningful smile, “Since they think everything has been resolved, it no longer concerns . It’s quite alright this way!”
Hearing her words, Zhao Xuanglang slowed down his pace, then with widened eyes, he hurriedly followed, “Boss, what do you an? Is there still sothing unresolved about ng Rou’s condition?”
“The infant ghost is indeed resolved. However—” Zhong Niangyao’s smile grew brighter, “that doesn’t an everything’s settled. There are still issues with ng Rou’s body that haven’t been addressed!”
“What?” Zhao Xuanglang exclaid, sowhat incoherent, “Could there be sothing else inside her stomach?”
He had clearly seen the infant ghost being removed and ng Rou’s stomach deflate!
“Hehe, being occupied by an infant ghost, how could there be no consequences?” Zhong Niangyao scoffed, “Moreover, the yin energy and ghost energy were so strong.”
Zhao Xuanglang widened his eyes, “Boss, why didn’t you say anything at the ng’s house?”
“Why would I?” Zhong Niangyao shrugged, her eyes flashing with indifference, “Besides, ng Rou really brought it upon herself.”
“But she seed to be repentant!” Zhao Xuanglang’s tone carried so sympathy.
When he saw ng Rou embracing the infant ghost, he was deeply moved, almost to tears. Thus, he believed that ng Rou genuinely realized her mistake.
Could there be sothing he didn’t know?
“Repentant?” Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhao Xuanglang as if he were a fool, “Forget about the ng family, they always see ng Rou through a filter. I didn’t expect your vision to be so poor too!”
“What!” Zhao Xuanglang was shocked, yet he didn’t doubt her words, only eagerly asking, “Boss, what do you an exactly? Please tell , don’t keep in suspense, okay?”
“ng Rou was just acting.” Zhong Niangyao bluntly pierced through the facade, “She had no intention of repenting. Everything she did was just to get rid of that infant ghost!”
“No way!” Zhao Xuanglang found it hard to believe, “I saw her being so earnest, and really thought she had repented!”
