Chapter 592: Innocence
After a moment, Yi Huai sat down again. He had tried to calm himself down, but his expression was still gloomy, with a hint of worry.
"Everything has been made clear, Uncle Yi still doesn't want to speak?" Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I don't think there's any need for us to continue talking. After all, this is just a waste of time."
Uncle Yi, these three words seemed to carry endless irony when they were spoken.
"You all already know, don't you?" Yi Huai looked at Zhong Nianyao with a gloomy expression, "So those last words you said were deliberately said to me, weren't they?"
"Oh, so you admit that you were the one who designed my mother to become like this, right?"
As she spoke, the smile on Zhong Nianyao's face remained, but a cold aura emanated from her whole body, making people feel as if they were in the middle of winter.
"If that's really the case, then how can you still have the nerve to show up in front of the Baili Family? Are you doing this to provoke me, or to show off?"
"I—" Yi Huai was speechless, but he finally spoke, "Yes, I did everything. I designed it. Le Yao has been in a coma for so many years because of me."
"So?" Zhong Nianyao smiled coldly and continued, "How can you still have the nerve to come here? Even if you are thick-skinned, you can't be so shameless as this! Or is this a provocation from your Yi family to the Baili family?"
"Yeah! I want to know too."
An old voice sounded, and the three of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw Baili Hengyuan walking towards them.
Suddenly, Yi Huai's face changed drastically, and he didn't even dare to look at Baili Hengyuan.
The reason why he specifically asked for Zhong Nianyao today was to avoid Baili Hengyuan. Unexpectedly, Baili Hengyuan still came.
He could still say it when facing Zhong Nianyao. Because he and Zhong Nianyao had no connection at all. Moreover, he felt that although Zhong Nianyao was Baili Leyao's biological daughter, the mother and daughter had never gotten along in all these years. Even if they were truly related by blood, their relationship was not that deep. Then, he still had a chance to convince the other party.
However, if it was Baili Hengyuan who appeared here, he would have no confidence at all.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Zhong Nianyao stood up, a little surprised. "Did Butler Bai notify you?"
Zhong Nianyao had already stood up, so Lu Yichen naturally couldn't continue sitting. He didn't have any strong feelings towards Baili Hengyuan, but since he was Zhong Nianyao's elder, he naturally respected him.
Baili Hengyuan nodded to Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen, then sat down and looked at Yi Huai. "I heard Yi Huai was coming, so I naturally came to see him. Besides, I also want to know--"
When he said this, his tone was so cold that it was almost frozen. "Yi Huai, how did our Baili family wrong you? Why did you treat my daughter like this? Is it because she refused to marry you?"
Facing Baili Hengyuan's sharp, questioning gaze, Yi Huai dodged a little. He didn't say anything, and didn't know how to start.
He knew that he should kneel on the ground and ask for Baili Hengyuan's forgiveness, but his pride would not allow him to do such a thing.
Moreover, he came to make the deal today with a purpose, and he would never allow himself to be at a disadvantage from the very beginning.
"no."
It was Zhong Nianyao who answered, a sarcastic smile on her lips, "Everyone thought he was deeply in love with my mother. In fact, the person he loved most from the beginning to the end was his current wife."
"What?" Baili Hengyuan frowned, his tone filled with disbelief, "But, his wife—"
"You all think he was forced to marry, right?" Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "He truly loves and cares for his wife! He did so much, schemed against Mom, and absorbed all of her vitality, but he used it all to nourish that woman."
"Yi Huai, you——"
Baili Hengyuan slammed the table hard, and when he looked at Yi Huai, his eyes were filled with resentment, "You, the Yi family, are going too far."
"This has nothing to do with the Yi family. I did it all by myself." Yi Huai said quickly, "And Wanwan, she is innocent too."
Upon hearing Yi Huai's words, Baili Hengyuan almost couldn't hold back and was about to jump up, but was held down by Lu Yichen who was standing beside him.
Although he knew that Lu Yichen was Zhong Nianyao's fiancé, and based on the current trend, there was a high possibility that he would become his grandson-in-law in the future, Lu Yichen's aura was too strong. Even if he didn't deliberately target him, he couldn't help but feel a little fear when facing Lu Yichen.
That's right, fear.
He didn't know why, but he just felt that way.
"Innocent?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Yi Huai and sneered, "How could she be innocent? Yes, you are the one who did all this, but she is the one who enjoyed the fruits of her labor in the end."
"You're profiting from my mother's blood, and now you're claiming her innocence. Don't you think that's ironic?"
"Wanwan is a very kind and wonderful woman." Yi Huai immediately argued, "Initially, she didn't agree with this approach. It's just that she couldn't persuade me."
"Besides, I did all of this. She had no involvement at all, and she has always felt sorry for Le Yao."
"This is truly the biggest joke I've ever heard in my life." Zhong Nianyao curled her lips and spoke sarcastically, "I think if she doesn't want to, then your unorthodox magic won't work at all. After all, you can't force a cow to drink water."
"She enjoys everything with a clear conscience, but my mother has been lying in bed like a vegetable for over 20 years. Now you actually say that the person who enjoys the fruits of her labor is a kind and wonderful person? Isn't this a joke?"
"Yi Huai, although I can guess that you will definitely come. But I really want to know why you have the nerve to come? Is it just for your kind and beautiful wife?"
"So, shouldn't I now sing the praises of your great love? That great love that sacrificed others?"
Those words, full of irony, left Yi Huai speechless.
