The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

"You're talking nonsense," Qi Lei's face turned red as he looked at Zhong Niangyao, much like one would look at a mortal enemy. "It's bad enough that a young girl like you is swindling people here, but now you dare claim that I've been cuckolded. It seems you won't understand your place until you're taught a lesson."

Having said that, he got up and moved forward, intending to tear down the sign on Niangyao's table and even planning to flip the table over.

Of course, he had no intention of hitting anyone. Although he wanted to vent his anger, he wasn't planning on making a big scene. He just wanted to instill fear in the young girl so she wouldn't dare to swindle anyone in the future.

However, to his surprise, before his hand could even touch the sign on the table, it was caught by a delicate, fair hand.

Though it was merely a slender hand, it gripped his wrist tightly like a clamp, rendering his hand completely immobile, unable to move forward even an inch.

"You—" Qi Lei abruptly looked up, his previous condescension gone when he faced Zhong Niangyao, his eyes filled with shock as if he couldn't believe what was happening.

"Why get so angry?" Zhong Niangyao offered a slight smile. "Some truths may hurt, but they cannot be changed. Whether the child in your wife's belly is yours, you'll find out if you check."

After speaking, she released the hand she had clenched, her expression indifferent as if nothing had happened.

Qi Lei withdrew his hand, staring at Zhong Niangyao with a probing look.

"You should go back and verify whether the child in your wife's belly is indeed yours!" Zhong Niangyao rested her cheek on her hand, looking up. "Then come back when you do. If I'm in a good mood, I might even tell you who the real father is!"

"Hmph, I will not believe you," Qi Lei said through clenched teeth, his voice full of resentment. "Don't think you can sow discord. The child in my wife's belly is mine."

"Heh, just look at yourself, do you even look like someone who could father a child?" Zhong Niangyao's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Your body has long been hollowed out by indulgences, it's just not possible. I bet my reputation and future prospects that you're already securely wearing the green hat."

The surrounding onlookers, seeing Zhong Niangyao's confident demeanor, started to wonder. Could this young girl really have some skills? Otherwise, how could she speak so assuredly?

If this young girl's predictions are accurate, then Qi Lei's "green hat" would indeed be a fact. No wonder he married three times without having a single child. It's not bad luck, but poor seed quality!

At that moment, the crowd looked at Qi Lei, their eyes filled with an indescribable meaning.

Facing everyone's peculiar stares, Qi Lei's face flushed, he almost wanted to strangle Zhong Niangyao right there.

However, seeing Zhong Niangyao's confident expression, his heart wavered and he began to doubt—could he really have been cuckolded?

"You should go back and check it properly!" Zhong Niangyao tapped on the table, smiling as she spoke, "You can even come back to pay the fortune-telling fee after you find out the results."

"Of course, if you're not willing to come back and pay the fortune-telling fee, that's also fine. However, not paying could have its consequences, and who knows what they might be!"

While speaking, a faint smile remained on Zhong Niangyao's face. As she finished her words, the smile seemed to carry a hint of unknown danger, chilling those who saw it.

A flicker of fear crossed Qi Lei's mind, and he turned to leave. All he wanted was to leave this place, feeling as if things would spiral out of control if he stayed.

Just as Qi Lei was about to leave, Zhong Niangyao's voice continued to echo.

"You are indeed destined to be childless, but there's still a sliver of vitality," Zhong Niangyao withdrew her gaze, speaking indifferently without any fluctuation in her voice, "If you still wish to have a child to take care of you in your old age, come find me again!"

Not sure whether to disbelieve or not having heard, Qi Lei quickly left.

Once Qi Lei was finally gone, the crowd once again looked towards Zhong Niangyao, their eyes filled with doubt and suspicion.

While Qi Lei's matter was still unresolved, the likelihood of him being cuckolded seemed quite high.

If it was true, this young girl really did have some skills.

Thinking this, many started to feel eager, intending to have their fortunes told too.

An older woman, taking advantage of the general surprise, rushed forward and seated herself at Zhong Niangyao's table.

"Young girl, why don't you read my fortune? I just want to know when I'll be able to hold a grandson."
