Chapter 533 All the property as compensation
Zhong Nianyao and Zhao Xuanlang were talking as they walked towards the door. To be more precise, it was Zhao Xuanlang who kept talking while Zhong Nianyao just listened.
Just as he was about to reach the door, he heard Zhao Xuanlang curse, "Fuck! Why is he here?"
Zhong Nian Yao was a little curious, and when she looked up, she saw a figure standing at the entrance of the academy, looking inside from time to time, as if looking for something.
When he saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately walked towards her quickly.
Zhao Xuanlang couldn't stand it any longer. When the other party approached, he spoke mercilessly, "Meng Ruikai, what are you doing here? Do you have any evil ideas to harm the boss again?"
That's right, the person who came was none other than Meng Ruikai. After hearing what Zhao Xuanlang said, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Xuan Lang, there's no need for you to be so hostile to me. I have no ill will towards Miss Zhong."
"Besides, I wouldn't dare to act rashly in front of Miss Zhong. I also value my life very much."
“Who knows?”
Zhao Xuanlang did not relax at all because of Meng Ruikai's self-deprecating words. He was still very vigilant, "Who knows what you are planning!"
"If you hadn't used me before, the boss wouldn't have been deceived by Meng Rou."
"I really didn't know about that matter." Meng Ruikai quickly explained, "It's——"
“It doesn’t matter who it is.”
Zhong Nianyao spoke lightly, interrupting Meng Ruikai's words, "You are blocking my way."
She didn't hold any grudge against Meng Ruikai, and she also believed that Meng Ruikai was indeed being used in this matter. But so what?
"Ms. Zhong, I know my request is abrupt, but..." Meng Ruikai said anxiously.
But just as he opened his mouth, Zhao Xuanlang interrupted him, "Since you know it's rude, then don't say anything."
Facing Zhao Xuanlang's constant targeting, Meng Ruikai felt that he really had a lot of grievances to say. He looked at Zhao Xuanlang and said directly, "Xuanlang, I thought we were friends."
"No, I can't have a friend like you." Zhao Xuanlang quickly raised his hand to stop her. "For Meng Rou, you've already lost track of right and wrong. Who knows if you'll stab me in the back for her in the future?"
Meng Ruikai's heart was filled with bitterness. He had never imagined that things would get this bad between him and Zhao Xuanlang. They had been good brothers since childhood, but because of Meng Rou's incident, they were now at such a point where they were practically estranged from each other. He felt very bad.
Many times, he asked himself in his heart, is this worth it? However, he still has no answer. Because Meng Rou is his sister, he has no choice but to stand on Meng Rou's side.
After calming down, Meng Ruikai looked at Zhong Nianyao, took a deep breath, and said, "Miss Zhong, regarding Xiaorou, I hope you can—"
"cannot."
Before Meng Ruikai could finish, Zhong Nianyao spoke directly, "I'm not a saint, and I will never save anyone who wants to harm me. However, when Meng Rou dies, I will definitely be there."
The words were so harsh that Meng Ruikai's expression changed for a moment, but he quickly recovered and remained sincere. "Miss Zhong, we are truly sincere. As long as you are willing to save Xiaorou, we can agree to any request you make."
Over the past few days, Meng Rou's belly had been swelling like a balloon. It wasn't even three months old, but she was already feeling like she was about to give birth. Furthermore, her entire energy seemed to have been drained away. Although she was still young, her hair had turned gray, and wrinkles had appeared on her skin. If this continued, she would soon die.
They didn't dare send Meng Rou to the hospital because they all knew that the thing in her stomach was causing her this way. Even if she went to the hospital, it wouldn't solve the problem and would only make her suspicious.
Now, apart from Zhong Nian Yao, they really can't think of anyone else who can help them.
Even though he knew that Zhong Nian Yao was very likely to refuse, he had no other choice.
"Are you willing to agree to any conditions?" Zhong Nianyao rolled her eyes, a mischievous smile appeared on her lips, and she said, "What if I tell you that the price you want me to save Meng Rou is to use all the property of your Meng family as compensation? Will you agree then?"
"What?" Meng Ruikai had never expected that Zhong Nian Yao would make such a request.
"I'm telling you, as long as you're willing to give me all the Meng family's wealth, I'll go save Meng Rou." Zhong Nianyao repeated with a smile, "The question is, are you willing?"
After confirming Zhong Nianyao's words, Meng Ruikai immediately fell into silence. For a moment, he really didn't know how to respond.
Yes, he really loved his sister Meng Rou. However, if he had to use all the Meng family's wealth to protect his sister, he couldn't help but hesitate.
He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he'd lived a life of affluence from childhood to adulthood. So, he couldn't imagine what life would be like if he lost his comfortable life and had to live like ordinary people, enduring the pressure from his boss and the ridicule of those around him for a few thousand yuan a month.
Moreover, even if he agreed now, his father would definitely not agree.
Looking at Meng Ruikai's struggle, Zhong Nianyao curled up a sarcastic smile.
Just now, he was really generous, saying he would agree to any request. Now that such huge interests are involved, aren't you planning to give up?
Indeed, it is the easiest thing to be generous to others.
"Meng Ruikai, whether you agree or not, at least say something!" Zhao Xuanlang said impatiently, "Just now, weren't you so eager to save Meng Rou first? Why are you so silent now that you heard the boss's request?"
Look at how bad his eyesight was before! He actually became good friends with such a person. It really wasted all his years of affection.
Hearing Zhao Xuanlang's urging, Meng Ruikai couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment on his face. He looked at Zhong Nianyao, "Miss Zhong, I still need to discuss this matter with my father."
