Chapter 529: Price
"Price?" Ling Ziwei was curious. "What kind of price?"
"The reason why evil magic is evil is because it harms others and does not benefit oneself!" Zhong Nianyao said quietly, "However, I think that when Master Zeng cast this evil magic on Meng Rou, he should not have told Meng Rou the price!"
Meng Rou raised her head abruptly, looking in the direction of Zhong Nianyao, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the price?"
Although she knew Zhong Nianyao had bad intentions, she couldn't help but ask. Master Zeng had never mentioned any price. However, she also knew that Zhong Nianyao wouldn't lie.
At this point, there is no need to tell lies.
"Overdrawing life." Zhong Nianyao said lightly, "This forced fate was obtained by Meng Rou overdrawing her own life. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the result of overdrawing twenty years of life."
"Impossible, this is impossible." Meng Rou kept shaking her head, trying to deny what Zhong Nian Yao said.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Zhong Nianyao continued, "However, even if you hadn't overdrawn your lifespan by these twenty years, you probably wouldn't live long. The ghost baby in your belly wants to be born, but it will tear your belly to get out, and then your life will definitely not be saved."
"No, no." Meng Rou suddenly began to struggle violently, still shouting, "This is impossible, you are lying to me."
Zhong Nian Yao stood up and walked directly in front of Meng Rou, then raised her hand and slapped her hard.
With a "pop" sound, Meng Rou's cheeks became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, looking a little scary.
Suddenly, she was slapped again, but Meng Rou didn't react at all. Or perhaps, she was still immersed in the thought of her remaining life span!
Zhong Nianyao turned her head, looked around, and said, "I called Meng Rou here today mainly to put an end to this. Meng Rou doesn't have much time left, so I plan to send her back to her own home. I don't think any of you would object!"
She had brought Meng Rou here today just to make her give up. Now that her goal had been achieved, she naturally had no intention of doing anything else.
As for Meng Rou, she had never intended for her to die so easily. From the moment Master Zeng used her, Meng Rou was doomed to a bitter end. Now that the ghost baby wasn't far away from being born, there was no need for her to dirty her hands.
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, everyone looked at each other, and in the end no one spoke. This was considered as tacit approval of Zhong Nianyao's approach.
Zhong Nianyao nodded, and when she and Lu Yichen were about to leave, they were suddenly stopped by Mr. Lu.
Turning around, she looked at Mr. Lu in confusion, "Uncle, do you have anything else to do?"
Old Master Lu looked at Zhong Nianyao, then his gaze fell on Lu Yilei. He sighed and said, "Nianyao, I just want to ask, what will happen to the fourth brother's...his marriage in the future?"
What he is worried about now is that his fourth son will live out his life alone. If that is really the case, he doesn't know what to say.
Not only Mr. Lu, but also Mrs. Lu suddenly raised her head after hearing such a question, looking at Zhong Nian Yao with burning eyes, wanting to get an answer from her.
Or rather, she wanted a good answer even more.
Zhong Nianyao shook her head gently, "Because of Meng Rou, he has missed the right person for his life. In other words, he will never meet the person he truly loves for the rest of his life."
"As for whether he will get married or not, that's his own choice. I can't say for sure."
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Mr. Lu was not sad, but seemed relieved, "That's good, that's good."
As long as they can still get married, that's enough. As for whether he will fall in love with another woman in the future, he doesn't care. After all, he feels that there is no love between him and his wife. Haven't they been together for many years?
Mrs. Lu obviously thought the same thing, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Lu Yile, the person involved, seemed to not care at all about Zhong Nianyao's answer.
Shrugging her shoulders, Zhong Nianyao had Meng Rou escorted away from the Lu family.
The departure of Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao did not improve the atmosphere in the living room much. The Lu family members did not leave and continued to sit there, each with a different expression on their face, naturally all of them had their own little thoughts.
Lu Yile was still standing there blankly, with no light in his eyes, looking lifeless.
After leaving the Lu family, Zhong Nianyao drove directly to Meng Rou's home.
In the car——
Zhong Nianyao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Lu Yichen, what happened to that idiot Zhao Xuanlang? Why can't I get through to him on the phone?"
"He's with Meng Ruikai." Lu Yichen said calmly, "Meng Ruikai came to see him today, and they've been together the whole time. As for Zhao Xuanlang's phone, it seems like it was accidentally broken."
"Broken?" Zhong Nianyao sneered, "How could such a coincidence happen? How could I not believe it?"
"You'll know after we go to the Meng family and ask." Lu Yichen said lightly.
"I just don't know if anyone from the Meng family is involved." A hint of uncertainty flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes. "If they are involved, then I probably can't just sit there and wait for death."
At this point, Zhong Nianyao suddenly changed the subject, looked at Lu Yichen beside her, and said with a smile, "Lu Yichen, I'm afraid our departure for Changbai Mountain will have to be postponed again."
Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't say anything, one could see that he was confused at the moment.
"At least we should wait until the ghost baby in Meng Rou's belly comes out, and then take it in!" Zhong Nianyao sighed helplessly, "Master Zeng is already in the underworld now, but even if he were here, he probably wouldn't care about such things."
"This ghost baby's resentment is too deep. If we allow it to be born without restraint, it will definitely cause great suffering to all people. Therefore, we must resolve this matter before we can go to Changbai Mountain with peace of mind. Otherwise, we will have to worry about whether the ghost baby will hurt people at will."
So in order to avoid any accidents, it is better to solve Meng Rou’s problem first.
