Chapter 2 Grandpa and Grandma

However, Zhong Niangyao, who had no parents, didn't have a difficult time in the Zhong Family. This was because the Old Master of the Zhong Family and Old Madam Zhong grew ever more affectionate to their granddaughter out of pity.

As for other people, even if they had opinions, they didn't dare to go too far. At most, they would only mock her with a few cold and hot sneers.

Always so cherished, Zhong Niangyao developed the arrogance of a wealthy heiress. She was ignorant and uneducated in her daily life, only knowing how to follow Li Jingming around. It could be said that Zhong Niangyao was Li Jingming's biggest bootlicker.

Li Jingming really disliked Zhong Niangyao, the worthless heiress. He always treated her with ridicule and even often went out of his way to make things difficult for her.

Zhong Niangyao was hopelessly infatuated. For Li Jingming, she had done many foolish things.

The reason she was hospitalized this time was that Li Jingming said if she jumped into the river, he would agree to have a meal with her.

Without caring that she couldn't swim at all, she leaped into the river, but Li Jingming turned away indifferently.

After witnessing such a scene, Zhong Niangyao, who was still struggling in the water, gradually gave up her struggle and began to slowly sink to the bottom of the river!

Zhong Niangyao was the only successor to the Ghost Valley Master sect. From a young age, she had started learning the art of divination and had already fully mastered her ancestors' true teachings. Unexpectedly, she had now been reborn into the body of a good-for-nothing heiress.

The next day, early in the morning, just after Zhong Niangyao had her check-up, an elderly couple entered the hospital room.

Seeing Zhong Niangyao, who was leaning against the headboard and was still in fairly good spirits, their expressions seemed to relax a little, but then they once more tightened their faces.

"Grandfather, Grandmother," Zhong Niangyao immediately called out to the two and then started to act spoilt, "Why haven't you come to see me at all? Don't you love me anymore?"

As soon as she finished speaking, even she was taken aback.

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong didn't notice anything odd about Zhong Niangyao. Their faces were stern, seemingly very angry.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, I really know I was wrong." Zhong Niangyao immediately raised her hand, swearing to the heavens, "I promise, I will absolutely not chase after Li Jingming anymore."

"Is that true?" Old Sir Zhong looked at Zhong Niangyao with a skeptical expression, "Have you really given up on that Li Jingming?"

"My dear, Li Jingming really isn't a good match," Old Madam Zhong sat down beside Zhong Niangyao and spoke earnestly, "Look, you've been sick in the hospital for several days now. Did he come to visit you even once? He—"

"Grandfather, Grandmother, I really don't like Li Jingming anymore," Zhong Niangyao emphasized helplessly, "I won't insist on hanging myself on such a crooked tree. With my appearance and status, what kind of man can't I find, huh!"

That was indeed the truth. Although she was foolish, Zhong Niangyao was truly beautiful, so much so that there were few girls in the Imperial Capital who could match her beauty. Moreover, despite her father's disappearance, he had left her quite a bit of wealth, including shares in the Zhong Family's family business, as well as treasures given by Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong from time to time. Among her peers in the Imperial Capital, she was considered incredibly wealthy. Compared to other family heirs and heiresses who were still spending their parents' pocket money, Zhong Niangyao was quite free financially.

Having heard such words, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong displayed no happiness, but instead, they became more worried.
