The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

When Zhao Xuanglang appeared at the classroom door, he attracted quite a bit of attention.

However, it wasn't because of the bandage on his forehead, but rather his appearance itself was already quite curious. In this class, he wasn't supposed to know anyone. He had never been seen here looking for someone before.

Facing the gazes that were cast toward him, Zhao Xuanglang seemed as if he couldn't see anything at all. All his attention was on finding Zhong Niangyao, afraid that he might miss her.

"Xuan Lang, what are you doing here?" a gentle voice rang out.

Zhao Xuanglang looked up and saw Li Jingming and Shen Yixue walking toward him hand in hand. It was Shen Yixue who had spoken, her face wearing a gentle smile that felt as refreshing as a spring breeze.

"You guys are here too?" Zhao Xuanglang was surprised, "Isn't this—"

"We have class in this classroom today as well!"

By then, the two had already come to a stop in front of Zhao Xuanglang, and Shen Yixue spoke with a smile, "It's actually weird seeing you here! Are you here to find us? Also, what happened to your head?"

The bandage on Zhao Xuanglang's forehead was simply too conspicuous, making it impossible for her to ignore.

"It was just a minor car accident." Zhao Xuanglang shook his head and continued, "I'm not here for you guys. I'm here to find Zhong Niangyao."

Whether it was Li Jingming or Shen Yixue, they were merely ordinary friends despite their interactions, so he didn't plan to divulge anything about last night's car accident.

And as for finding Zhong Niangyao, he didn't think there was any need to hide it. After all, they would find out sooner or later.

"What?"

Upon hearing Zhong Niangyao's name, Li Jingming's brows instantly furrowed, "What do you need her for? Don't tell me you really have taken a liking to her!"

Shen Yixue's expression also turned a bit strange.

Previously, Li Chenghao had mentioned that Zhong Niangyao had said some nonsensical things to get Zhao Xuanglang's attention. It couldn't be that Zhao Xuanglang was really attracted by Zhong Niangyao.

Thinking of these things, a brief flash of dark jealousy passed through the depths of Shen Yixue's eyes, fleeting and barely graspable.

Hearing Li Jingming's words, Zhao Xuanglang couldn't help but frown, "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you."

Perhaps Li Jingming really thought too highly of himself. Though they sometimes hung out together, everyone knew that they were mere acquaintances. If it weren't for some excitement to watch, they wouldn't even care about Li Jingming, who was just a bastard.

And now Li Jingming even presumed to pry into his affairs, showing no self-awareness at all.

Li Jingming didn't catch the implied meaning in Zhao Xuanglang's words, but he was a bit displeased, "I'm just reminding you as a friend. This Zhong Niangyao is truly worthless; she won't be the slightest help to your future. Who knows, you might end up constantly cleaning up messes for her."

An impatient look flickered across Zhao Xuanglang's face, just as he was about to retort, Shen Yixue intervened.

"Both of you, just ease up a bit!"

Noticing that Zhao Xuanglang's expression was off, Shen Yixue hurriedly spoke, "Jingming, this is Xuan Lang's own business. We, as outsiders, shouldn't interfere too much."

After speaking, she turned to Zhao Xuanglang, "Xuan Lang, don't be upset. Jingming was just speaking out of concern for you."

"That's really kind of you," replied Zhao Xuanglang dryly, "but I don't need it."

Seeing Zhao Xuanglang's demeanor, Li Jingming felt quite uncomfortable and wanted to say something more. But just as he opened his mouth, he saw Zhao Xuanglang ignoring him and walking straight forward.

Li Jingming and Shen Yixue turned around and saw Zhao Xuanglang had already approached Zhong Niangyao.

They immediately realized that Zhao Xuanglang had seen Zhong Niangyao arriving, which is why he had simply left them behind.

Both of their expressions were not very pleasant.

In the past, they all used to hang out together, so they considered themselves friends. Now that Zhao Xuanglang had blatantly ignored them to charm Zhong Niangyao, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

However, Zhao Xuanglang didn't care about the thoughts of the pair behind him, as his heart and eyes were filled only with Zhong Niangyao. After all, she was the one most likely to be able to save his life.

"Lady Zhong, I—" Zhao Xuanglang approached Zhong Niangyao, rubbing his hands, his face showing a look of eager attentiveness.

However, before he could finish his words, Zhong Niangyao raised her hand to stop him.

"The talisman has already worked, hasn't it!" Zhong Niangyao raised her hand, then looked at Zhao Xuanglang, her lips curving into an amused smile, "But, while you dodged it this time, there's always a next time!"

The dark aura on Zhao Xuanglang's forehead not only hadn't dissipated but had grown even denser. This meant that the aura of death still lingered.
