The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: The Person Destined

Because Zhao Xuanlang was disliked by Zhong Niangyao, he quickly closed his mouth.

Zhong Niangyao’s reputation was well-known, but since she hadn’t set up her stall for many days, many people didn’t know she had come back, which made it seem a bit quiet.

Before long, quite a few people had already gathered after hearing rumors.

As usual, Zhong Niangyao still only did three divinations a day and only for those she deemed as destined.

People did not know what standards Zhong Niangyao used to determine the “destined ones.” However, those who weren’t chosen didn’t get upset, merely quietly leaving.

Of course, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to make a scene, but they knew about Zhong Niangyao’s abilities before coming. No one dared to offend such a formidable master; doing so would be akin to seeking death.

In less than half an hour, Zhong Niangyao had already completed the three divinations for the day.

However, she still sat there composed and did not look like she was planning to pack up and leave.

“Boss, why aren’t we leaving?” Zhao Xuanlang looked at Zhong Niangyao with a hint of confusion in his eyes, “Aren’t today’s three divinations already finished?”

“The divinations for today are indeed finished, but the destined person has not yet arrived!” Zhong Niangyao played with her phone, not even lifting her head, “If you have something to do, go ahead! No need to stay here and wait with me.”

“I have nothing pressing; I was just curious,” Zhao Xuanlang hurriedly responded, “But, boss, don’t you only do three divinations a day?”

Zhong Niangyao finally looked up from her phone, giving Zhao Xuanlang a disdainful glance, “Well, I ask you, who set the rule of three divinations a day?”

“That must be a rule you set yourself!” Zhao Xuanlang instinctively responded.

“Since I set the rule, can’t I change it?” Zhong Niangyao spoke irritably, “Besides, the rule isn’t aimed at me.”

Hearing this explanation, Zhao Xuanlang found he really had no way to counter.

Zhong Niangyao shifted her gaze back to her phone, ignoring Zhao Xuanlang, who no longer dared to make an embarrassment of himself and also took out his phone to play.

After a while, Zhong Niangyao suddenly put down her phone, muttering “Here.”

Although softly spoken, Zhao Xuanlang next to her heard it and unconsciously asked, “Huh, what’s here?”

Zhong Niangyao ignored Zhao Xuanlang; she looked ahead at a woman in her forties, who appeared dispirited and haggard, then suddenly spoke, “Auntie, would you like a divination?”

Diao Keying had no spark in her eyes and a numb expression on her face. She seemed like a lost spirit wandering aimlessly, unaware of her destination.

But then, a crisp and pleasant voice abruptly halted her. Startled, she followed the voice and saw a young girl in her twenties, stunningly beautiful, sitting at a fortune-telling stall that did not match her image at all. Clearly, the girl had been the one to speak.

“How about it?” Zhong Niangyao, with a hand supporting her cheek and no serious demeanor, asked, “Auntie, would you like a divination? My predictions are very accurate.”

“Yes! Yes!” Although Zhao Xuanlang didn’t quite understand the situation, he began to vigorously boost her words, “You could ask around this Tongtian Bridge area, my boss’s reputation is quite loud.”

The previously disinterested Diao Keying couldn’t help but let out a light laugh at Zhao Xuanlang’s boastful speech, “Oh, really?”

“Auntie, since you don’t have other matters afterward, sitting down for a divination wouldn’t hurt!” Zhong Niangyao smiled slightly and continued, “Even if we don’t talk about divinations, we can have a chat!”

Hearing this, a bitter smile surfaced on Diao Keying’s face, “Yeah! There’s nothing I need to rush for.”

She quickly sat down in front of the stall, but her face still maintained a bitter and somewhat numb expression.

Seeing someone like her, Zhao Xuanlang couldn’t help but scratch his head.

For some reason, he felt that the aunty in front of him seemed quite strange. Yet he couldn’t quite pinpoint what was odd.

He glanced at Zhong Niangyao and, realizing she didn’t plan to pay any attention to him, he withdrew his gaze.

Zhong Niangyao looked at Diao Keying who had sat down and directly asked, “Auntie, what would you like to know?”

“What should I ask?” Diao Keying’s face showed a bit of confusion, but she eventually shook her head, “Anything is fine.”

“Auntie, there is no one in this world without desires,” Zhong Niangyao’s mouth curved slightly, “No one’s life is complete, there are always various problems and different hopes. It’s because of desires and yearnings that people can strive to live better.”

“If a person has no desires, there is only one reason.”

At this point, Zhong Niangyao suddenly looked up, her gaze fixedly on Diao Keying, “That is a lack of any attachment to this world.”

Hearing these words, Diao Keying paused for a second, then looked up, trying to see if the person opposite knew her intentions.

Indeed, she felt her life was now hopeless. She had no desires because she felt no attachment to this world anymore.

“I—”

Lifting her head, Diao Keying’s expression remained numb, “Then young master, do you think, the current me, still has a future?”

She could no longer see her own future.

Having been a housewife for so many years, she was already excluded from the job market. Her husband had cheated, denied all her years of dedication, and even demanded a divorce, leaving her with nothing.

What saddened her most wasn’t this, but the fact that her son was entirely on her husband’s side, believing such a useless woman didn’t deserve to stay in this home.

Her parents had already passed on, with no one to support her. She didn’t know how to live in the future or if she could go on living well after the divorce.

So, today she had come out with the intention of finding a place to end her miserable and laughable life.
