The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 507 - Chapter 507 Chapter 507 Lian Chuqing

Chapter 507: Chapter 507 Lian Chuqing Chapter 507: Chapter 507 Lian Chuqing As Zhong Niangyao’s voice fell, everyone felt as though the temperature in the room had plummeted several degrees in an instant, sending a shiver of dread down their spines.

Long Jiarui had already moved to Zhong Niangyao’s side, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly, her voice trembling, “Nianyao, you… you mean to say–”

She involuntarily swallowed before she could continue,”In this room, there is… there is…” A ghost!

She simply couldn’t bring herself to say the last word, as if speaking it would summon the specter from some corner of the room.

“She’s right here.”

Seemingly reading Long Jiarui’s mind, Zhong Niangyao spoke candidly, “You all might as well meet her!”

After speaking, Zhong Niangyao raised her hand and began to form a Seal, chanting a spell under her breath. A point of golden light appeared between her hands. She then pointed forward, and the golden light detached from her fingertip and, as if sentient, flew toward a corner of the room.

As the golden light settled in that corner, a shadowy figure gradually became visible before everyone.

Within moments, the crowd could make out the shadow in the corner–a young girl with delicate features and a petite face, who, aside from her pallid, bloodless complexion, looked just like a normal person.

At this moment, she was huddled fearfully in the corner. The fear in her expression didn’t betray her ghostly nature. Instead, she appeared more like a victim of persecution.

“You are–” Long Jiarui exclaimed, “You’re Sister Chuqing. How can you–”

As she spoke, she turned her head, her gaze shockingly turned toward her second brother, Long Haoguang, “So the ghost marriage you spoke of involves Sister Chuqing?”

Not only Long Jiarui, but upon the ghost’s appearance, the shock within the Long Family was greater than their fear. They could never have imagined that the ghost in the marriage with Long Haoguang was Lian Chuqing.

They all knew Lian Chuqing; she was Long Haoguang’s first love. They met in high school and officially became a couple in college.

There was no melodramatic misunderstanding between the two, nor opposition from their parents. Both from well-matched families, their romance was sweet. Had things followed this course, they would have continued dating smoothly and then married after graduation, becoming a loving and devoted couple.

But, perhaps the heavens envied such a pair of lovers. Just before their engagement following graduation, Lian Chuqing perished in a car accident.

Lian Chuqing’s sudden death nearly took half of Long Haoguang’s life with it. For a long time, he was lost in a haze, even developing severe depression with tendencies toward suicide on several occasions.

At that time, not just the Long Family but even Lian Chuqing’s parents had tried to counsel him, urging Long Haoguang to move on. However, their words seemed to have no effect.

With no other choice, the Long Family hired people to watch Long Haoguang around the clock, terrified of what he might do in his despair.

Who could have expected that one day, Long Haoguang seemed to have a sudden epiphany, immediately regaining his spirits and shaking off the constant thoughts of suicide.

Initially, they feared that Long Haoguang was feigning recovery to fool them and then find an opportunity to end his life. So, they continued to watch him from the shadows.

Later on, they realized that Long Haoguang really had let go of his pain and started to live his life properly again.

Despite not engaging in any romance over the years, as long as Haoguang was content, the Long Family didn’t dare press the matter, for fear of rekindling his old wounds and triggering another depressive episode.

Who could have imagined seeing the ghost of Lian Chuqing here today? And, she was bound in a ghost marriage with Long Haoguang.

After listening to Long Jiarui recount the story between Long Haoguang and Lian Chuqing, Zhong Niangyao nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Long Haoguang, “So, you actually hadn’t given up; you had found a way to cope, which is why you pulled yourself together, right?”

By now, Long Haoguang had already positioned himself in front of Lian Chuqing, standing as a guardian, adopting a protective stance.

“This has nothing to do with you,” Long Haoguang warned Zhong Niangyao with a guarded look, “I’m telling you, as long as I’m here today, no one will harm Chuqing.”

Lian Chuqing, like a child who had done something wrong, shyly hid behind Long Haoguang, not daring to even glance at the Long Family.

“Who said anything about harming her?” Zhong Niangyao was utterly perplexed, “I never said I would do anything.”

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, both Long Haoguang and Lian Chuqing were taken aback.

Then, Long Haoguang still skeptically inquired, “You’re really not going to harm Chuqing?”

“Don’t lump me in with those old-hardheaded types.” A few lines of annoyance crossed Zhong Niangyao’s forehead, “Alright, I think everyone concerned is here now, so should we sit down and have a proper discussion?”

Soon, everyone took their seats.

Long Haoguang sat down, pulling Lian Chuqing with him to sit beside him.

Lian Chuqing, being a ghost, didn’t need to sit. Yet, Long Haoguang simply pulled her down before she could even protest.

Still, even seated, she kept her head down, unable to face the members of the Long Family.

“Now that we’re all seated, let’s have a thorough discussion!” Zhong Niangyao addressed Long Haoguang, “In truth, you weren’t really feeling better back then. It was because you found a way to be with Lian Chuqing through a ghost marriage, making you true spouses, wasn’t it?”

“What, so long ago?” Long Jiarui exclaimed in surprise, “I thought this all happened recently! My brother’s health only started deteriorating lately.”

“All things happen through a process of change,” Zhong Niangyao said calmly, “They’ve been in a ghost marriage for a while. The reason for the recent troubles is that–”

“He’s been exposed to too much yin energy, enough to suppress and start devouring his yang energy. So, his health has deteriorated lately. If this goes on–”

She didn’t finish, but everyone, not being fools, understood her implications. It seemed that his life was now in grave danger.
