Chapter 436: Baili Family
"I didn't," Li Yiqiu denied repeatedly, a hint of uneasiness in her tone, "Nian Yao, I really know I was wrong, so I want to apologize to you."
"You have the freedom to apologize, and I naturally have the right to refuse to accept it." Zhong Nianyao continued, "From the beginning, I have made it very clear that I will definitely forgive you this time. There is no need for you to continue to be hypocritical."
After saying that, she walked away.
Seeing that Zhong Nianyao was about to leave, Li Yiqiu became anxious. She quickly stood up and followed her, then rushed to Zhong Nianyao and said, "Don't go."
Zhong Nianyao frowned, a hint of impatience in her eyes, "You're blocking my way."
"Nian Yao——"
Just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Zhong Nianyao. She raised her hand and stopped Li Yiqiu from saying the next sentence, "There's no need to keep pretending to be a snake with me here. I know your purpose very well. You just want to get the word forgiveness from me. You think that as long as I am willing to forgive, then grandpa will never force you to divorce again."
"Anyway, I'm not going to get involved. Wouldn't it be better for you to go find your second uncle? After all, it was your second uncle who decided to obey Grandpa and divorce you, not me."
After saying that, Zhong Nianyao pushed Li Yiqiu away and walked straight towards the stairs.
"Zhong Nianyao, how can you be so cold-blooded and heartless?"
Watching Zhong Nianyao leave, Li Yiqiu's face became particularly gloomy, and her voice became much sharper. "Do you know what will happen to Xiaokang if I leave? You are forcing us to divorce, aren't you?"
"Marriage is a matter between two people. What does your marriage with Second Uncle have to do with us outsiders?" Zhong Nianyao turned around, glanced at Li Yiqiu coldly, and continued, "Also, if you were really that worried about Xiaokang, you wouldn't do such a thing."
"Don't say anything about it being for a well-off life. I don't believe that nonsense."
After saying that, Zhong Nianyao went downstairs directly without caring about Li Yiqiu's reaction.
Li Yiqiu, who was left there, had despair in her eyes. She didn't know how she left, nor how she returned to her room.
At noon, Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen made an appointment to have lunch.
In the hotel room——
Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao were having lunch and the atmosphere was very good.
As usual, Lu Yichen was taking care of Zhong Nianyao, peeling shrimps and picking fish bones, and when he had some free time, he would eat a few bites himself.
The two of them were chatting and laughing while eating lunch, and the atmosphere in the private room seemed particularly harmonious.
After lunch, the waiter came in, cleared away everything on the table, and quickly brought a pot of hot tea.
Lu Yichen personally poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Zhong Nianyao. His eyes were filled with doting, and even the words he spoke were full of tenderness. "Come, have a cup of tea to help you digest your food."
Zhong Nianyao didn't act pretentiously. She just picked up the small cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's sip of the tea, he didn't say anything to discourage her. Instead, he continued to look at her with a doting gaze. That look was so ambiguous that it was almost thread-like.
Facing Lu Yichen's burning gaze, Zhong Nianyao's expression remained unchanged, and then she talked about Li Yiqiu kneeling at the door of her room today.
"Are you soft-hearted?" Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "This is not like you!"
"I'm not stupid enough to be soft-hearted towards someone who wants to kill me." Zhong Nianyao rolled her eyes helplessly. "I'm just a little curious. The person behind this is obviously targeting me. But I don't remember ever offending such a powerful person."
Lu Yichen nodded, then spoke to comfort her, "The person behind this is hiding very deeply. I will find a way to dig this person out. However, you should be careful during this period of time."
I don’t know who is behind this, but it is obvious that the other party is quite hostile towards Zhong Nian Yao.
Zhong Nianyao nodded, then said with some regret, "The person behind this is really too cautious, and he's quite capable. He even managed to completely erase all the memories in Li Yiqiu's mind."
Li Yiqiu wasn't acting last night; she had truly forgotten all about the person who instigated her to do this. That person must have cast a curse on Li Yiqiu, and if she tried to reveal that person, the curse would be triggered, erasing all her memories.
"you--"
At this moment, Lu Yichen's cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone directly, but after he finished talking, his eyes fell on Zhong Nianyao again. His eyes were full of emotions, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know where to start.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows when she felt Lu Yice falling on her. "The content of the call is about me, right?"
"Yeah." Lu Yichen nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "There's news from your mother. To be more precise, they found some information through that bracelet. It's not much, but it's still useful."
A faint light flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes, but she was not very anxious. She spoke slowly, "Have you found out anything?"
"Yes." Lu Yichen nodded. "There is a secret symbol on the bracelet. It is the family crest of a hidden family in Changbai Mountain."
"A hidden family?" Zhong Nian Yao blinked, somewhat puzzled.
"You should be well aware that in this world, besides ordinary people, there are also many people with special abilities." Lu Yichen explained, "Of course, there are also some families with their own heritage. The Baili family of Changbai Mountain is one of them. They are skilled in witchcraft and have always lived in seclusion in Changbai Mountain."
"The family crest on the bracelet your mother left behind is that of the Baili family."
"You mean, my biological mother might be from the Baili family?" Zhong Nian Yao raised her eyebrows.
Lu Yichen didn't directly answer Zhong Nianyao's question, but instead spoke about something else. "The current patriarch of the Baili family, Baili Hengyuan, has three sons and one daughter. He loves his youngest daughter the most. Her name is Baili Leyao."
A hint of understanding flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes.
Baili Leyao, Zhong Nianyao.
Then I think the "Yao" in her name is the "Yao" in Baili Leyao!
