The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot-Chapter 159 - : Satire
Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Satire
After Zhao Rongrong’s suicide note was disclosed, everyone learned that it was her who had orchestrated the incidents involving Gu Meng and Hu Yixuan.
Although she left a will, bequeathing one-third of her wealth to Gu Meng and another third to Hu Yixuan as compensation, people online still condemned her heavily.
After all, no amount of money could compensate for what Gu Meng and Hu Yixuan had lost.
And what Zhao Rongrong did to Gu Meng and Hu Yixuan were only the most severe of her actions; other things like suppressing new actresses and bullying juniors in the company were just minor in comparison.
Regarding Zhao Rongrong’s death, aside from a few delusional fans who were genuinely saddened, everyone else felt it was poetic justice.
Zhao Xuanglang followed closely by Zhong Niangyao’s side, chattering non-stop, “Boss, you’re really amazing! You guessed it right; Zhao Rongrong indeed met her end!”

“Ah, is money really that important? Now she can’t keep her money, and she’s lost her life too. I wonder if she has any regrets?”
“However, I really didn’t expect that Zhao Rongrong would leave a suicide note and a will before her death. Boss, this is really—”
“It was Little Ghost’s doing,” Zhong Niangyao said indifferently. “Whether it’s leaving the suicide note and will, or Zhao Rongrong jumping off the building to her death, it was all Little Ghost’s doing.”
Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Zhao Xuanglang couldn’t help but gasp, finally patting his chest, “It seems like keeping such entities is really risky!”
“Those who seek benefits through improper means always face risks,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head and said, “To gain much, one must pay much. Even if the price is not paid now, it will be returned in full later.”
Zhao Xuanglang continued to express his awe, while also feeling grateful, “Boss, it’s a good thing I asked for your help this time. Otherwise, when the news broke out, my aunt’s company wouldn’t have known how badly it would be affected!”
Even if it wouldn’t cripple them, it would likely have caused turmoil for a while. Now, having been forewarned, they had already managed the PR, minimizing the losses.
“No need to thank me,” Zhong Niangyao spoke flatly. “She has already given me the compensation.”
The day after returning, Wu Qiong had already transferred the compensation to her.
As the two continued talking and walking forward, someone suddenly blocked their path.
Seeing the person blocking the way, Zhao Xuanglang immediately retorted, “Li Jingming, good dogs don’t stand in the way. Move aside now.”
Previously, he often hung out with Li Jingming, though it was just for laughs. Now looking back, his past self was rather embarrassing. However, he had since reformed.
Li Jingming couldn’t help but frown, “Xuan Lang, even if you’re now on better terms with Zhong Niangyao, you can’t make decisions for her! I’m here to see Zhong Niangyao, not you.”
Zhao Xuanglang was defiant, “Zhong Niangyao is my boss. My boss doesn’t want to see you now, so just scram!”
Observing Zhao Xuanglang’s demeanor, Li Jingming’s frown deepened, and his expression darkened.
He couldn’t understand what was so special about Zhong Niangyao that Zhao Xuanglang defended her so fiercely, even constantly addressing her as his boss.
“Zhong Niangyao, I really need to talk to you.”
Li Jingming, left with no choice, lowered his stance, “It won’t take much of your time, just a few minutes.”
Zhao Xuanglang wanted to say something more, but Zhong Niangyao spoke first, “Alright.”
Since Zhong Niangyao had agreed, Zhao Xuanglang couldn’t say anything more.
Li Jingming and Zhong Niangyao moved to a nearby corridor, standing opposite each other at a polite distance. It was clear that their relationship was quite estranged.
“Speak if you have something to say,” Zhong Niangyao glanced at Li Jingming, “You didn’t come here just to have a staring contest with me, did you?”
Li Jingming remained silent, carefully considering his words. He had never properly conversed with Zhong Niangyao before, and now he was here asking for a favor, so he wasn’t sure how to begin.
Hearing Zhong Niangyao suddenly speaking caught him off guard, “Zhong Niangyao, I came here because of Xiao Xue’s matter.”
“If you expect me to plead on behalf of Shen Yixue, then there’s no need to continue,” Zhong Niangyao interrupted, lifting her hand, “Since you came to me, you must already know my stance from Shen Yixue, right?”
“Zhong Niangyao, can’t you just consider it as a plea from me?” Li Jingming’s brows knitted tightly, “If Xiao Xue gets reprimanded this time, her future will really be ruined. Unlike you, she’s striving hard just so she can have an easier life in the future.”
“What does that have to do with me?” Zhong Niangyao shrugged nonchalantly, “What relationship do I have with her? Why should I take responsibility for her future? When she did what she did, shouldn’t she have thought of the consequences? She herself doesn’t want to take responsibility for her future, why should I, an outsider, worry about her?”
Her words left Li Jingming somewhat unable to retort, but he had not forgotten his purpose today, “Zhong Niangyao, why be so concerned about the specifics? The truth has now come to light. The honors that belong to you have all returned to you. Why must you continue to pursue Xiao Xue?”
This almost made Zhong Niangyao laugh, “Li Jingming, I used to think you were just arrogantly annoying. Now it seems you completely lack a sense of right and wrong! What, just because the truth is out does that mean Shen Yixue doesn’t need to be responsible for her actions?”
“That’s not what I meant,” Li Jingming’s face became upset, “I just hoped you would be more magnanimous.”
“Even if I were more magnanimous, I wouldn’t plead for a thief,” Zhong Niangyao said bitingly.
“Xiao Xue isn’t a thief, she just—”
“She just wanted to steal my painting and seize the honor that belongs to me,” Zhong Niangyao interjected sharply, the irony in her tone pronounced, “Compared to a thief, she’s much worse. After all, a thief only steals money, but she tried to steal someone’s honor. Now you want me, the victim, to plead for her? Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with your thinking?”
