Chapter 70: 70 Chapter: A Visit
Early Monday morning, Zhong Niangyao arrived at school.
However, not long after she entered the gate, she saw Zhao Xuanlang excitedly walking over to her, shouting, “Boss, boss.”
Looking at the sowhat silly Zhao Xuanlang, Zhong Niangyao felt a bit strange. Tenglong Academy was so big; why was it that Zhao Xuanlang always managed to find her? In the past, it was normal not to see each other for a month, but now, since she recognized Zhao Xuanlang as her follower, they seed to et much more frequently.
Zhao Xuanlang quickly ran to Zhong Niangyao’s side, his smile bearing a hint of servility, “Boss, you’re here so early today!”
“I have classes in the morning,” Zhong Niangyao looked at Zhao Xuanlang. “What about you, coming so early; you don’t have classes too, do you?”
Life at the university was relatively free, and they weren’t even in the sa grade. It couldn’t be such a coincidence that they both had classes every single ti!
“I don’t have classes this morning,” Zhao Xuanlang opened carelessly. “But I checked the titable and knew you had class, so I ca over on purpose. I—”
Just as he was speaking, suddenly a ringtone for an incoming call interrupted him, forcing Zhao Xuanlang to stop abruptly.
He took out his cellphone, and upon seeing the na flashing on the screen, without any hesitation, he imdiately hung up the call.
“Boss, I—”
He had barely started speaking again when the ringtone sounded once more. The persistent tone seed as if the caller would keep calling if Zhao Xuanlang didn’t answer.
Zhong Niangyao cast a puzzled look at Zhao Xuanlang.
After hanging up, Zhao Xuanlang simply turned off his phone, then looked up at Zhong Niangyao and explained, “It’s the ng Family’s call. They probably want to get to you through .”
Hearing Zhao Xuanlang’s words, Zhong Niangyao nodded knowingly. However, she didn’t say anything, nor did she offer help or refusal.
With no further disturbances from the phone, Zhao Xuanlang continued to chatter beside Zhong Niangyao.
“Is it possible to register for the national painting and calligraphy competition at the school?” Zhong Niangyao suddenly asked.
“Huh?” Zhao Xuanlang was taken aback for a mont, then quickly recovered, “Yes! Boss, are you planning to register? If you do, I’m confident you could win first place.”
Listening to Zhao Xuanlang’s over-the-top flattery, Zhong Niangyao’s expression remained unchanged; she rely nodded, showing she acknowledged his confidence.
Along the way, seeing Zhao Xuanlang trailing behind Zhong Niangyao had beco commonplace for everyone. At first, there might have been so chatter, but after so ti, everyone had gotten used to it.
During class, while listening to the professor’s lecture, Zhong Niangyao took out her phone to check the announcent for the painting and calligraphy competition.
After class, she went straight to the art departnt to register.
Having completed the registration and having no classes in the afternoon, she decided not to set up a stall near Tongtian Bridge, so she headed back to the Zhong Family ho.
Just as she stepped through the front door, she heard voices inside—it seed like her uncle Zhong Minghao and his wife Zheng Silin were entertaining so guests.
As she entered, the sight of the visitors added a flicker of understanding to her eyes.
She walked in slowly, then headed upstairs without even greeting anyone.
Just because she chose to ignore them did not an they intended to let her go that easily.
“Nianyao, you’re back!” Sharp-eyed Zheng Silin spotted Zhong Niangyao heading upstairs and imdiately called out, “We have guests at ho, co and say hello!”
After speaking, Zheng smiled apologetically at the elegantly dressed couple sitting on the other sofa, “This child, spoiled by the old sir and the lady of the house. Chairman ng, Mrs. ng, I’m sorry for any embarrassnt.”
Indeed, the guests at the Zhong Family ho were none other than Mr. ng and Madam ng.
After Zhong Niangyao left, they planned to take ng Rou for a health check-up when her condition improved. Unexpectedly, Rui Kai suddenly returned the next day and insisted that they take ng Rou to the hospital imdiately.
They didn’t know what was the matter, but they didn’t object. After all, it was their initial plan, just moved up a little earlier.
However, when the dical results ca out, they could hardly believe their eyes.
ng Rou’s organs were failing due to compression and an unknown cause of cold inflicting her body. Even with treatnt, it was hopeless, and her lifespan would be significantly shortened. Moreover, she would continue to be bedridden in the future.
More importantly, ng Rou’s uterus was severely damaged, making it nearly impossible for her to get pregnant again in the future.
Upon hearing the diagnosis, the couple almost collapsed. They knew ng Rou would definitely suffer so damage from this incident, but given her young age, they believed she could recover quickly with proper care.
They did not expect the results to be so severe.
Thinking of Rui Kai’s strange actions, they urgently inquired and found out that Zhao Xuanlang had let it slip unintentionally.
Instantly, they rembered that right after driving the infant baby away, they had imdiately made Zhong Niangyao leave.
Filled with regret, they also realized that if they wanted to save ng Rou, they would probably have to seek Zhong Niangyao’s help again.
Subsequently, Rui Kai kept trying to contact Zhao Xuanlang, hoping he would once again act as a diator and help reach out.
But Zhao Xuanlang had consistently refused and eventually even turned off his phone.
They had no other choice but to co in person.
However, for ng Rou’s and the ng Family’s sake, they dared not reveal the whole story, and rely ntioned wanting Zhong Niangyao’s assistance.
Now Zheng Silin’s words made Mr. and Madam ng feel quite embarrassed. They had co to seek help, not to offend Zhong Niangyao.
“That’s your guest; it has nothing to do with ,” Zhong Niangyao responded with a faintly mocking smile, looking at Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin. “Uncle, aunt, I’m just your niece, so I would appreciate it if you didn’t involve in such matters.”
Her words imdiately darkened the faces of Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin.
“Zhong Niangyao, co down here,” Zhong Minghao spoke sternly. “Today I’m going to discipline you on behalf of your father.”
“Discipline?” Zhong Niangyao’s lips curved in a mocking arc. “Do you think you have the right to do so?”
