Chapter 594: Doubts
The woman was wearing a well-fitting dress. Although it looked ordinary, the texture of the dress showed that it was definitely worth a lot of money. Moreover, she also had a few simple pieces of jewelry on her body. Although low-key, it was hard to hide their value.
However, there was no color on the woman's face, and she was even panting while walking.
This woman was very pretty. Even in her frail appearance, she looked like Xi Shi holding her heart, rather than Dong Shi imitating Xi Shi.
Seeing the person coming, Baili Hengyuan's already ugly face became even gloomier, and his hands were clenched into fists.
Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen looked at each other and guessed who the visitor was.
"Wanwan."
When he saw the person coming, Yi Huai almost jumped up. He quickly stepped forward and held his wife's hand, allowing his wife to lean on him.
"Why are you here?" Yi Huai's tone contained a hint of blame, but more of concern. "Didn't I tell you to rest at home and not come out?"
"Since this matter has something to do with me, then of course I have to come."
The woman named Wanwan couldn't help coughing a few times while she spoke. It can be seen that her health is really not good at the moment.
"What a pity!" Zhong Nianyao looked at Wanwan and said, "You will be fully recovered in just ten days or half a month."
"you--"
Wanwan, also known as Huang Wan, was horrified after hearing what Zhong Nianyao said. When she looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes were full of disbelief.
"It feels strange, doesn't it?" Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "Actually, I arrived just in time this time. Otherwise, by the time you were fully recovered, my mother would have died!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Yi Huai quickly stood up and blocked Huang Wan's way. "I never intended to kill Le Yao. When Wan Wan gets better, Le Yao will wake up too."
This was indeed the truth. Although he wanted to use Baili Leyao's vitality to extend Wanwan's life, no matter what, Baili Leyao was his little sister since childhood, and he had never thought of taking her life.
"You don't have such thoughts, but can you guarantee that your wife doesn't have the same thoughts?" Zhong Nianyao's sharp eyes fell on Yi Huai and Huang Wan. "From the moment you planned to use my mother's vitality to prolong her life, you have already put my mother in a very dangerous position."
"So, do you think anyone will believe what you say?"
Yi Huai wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything. At this moment, he always felt guilty in front of Zhong Nianyao.
Moreover, Wanwan's life is now in Zhong Nianyao's hands, so he dare not act rashly.
Huang Wan pushed Yi Huai away and faced Zhong Nianyao directly. "I know that no matter what I say now, you won't believe it. But I still want to apologize to you about this matter. I'm really sorry."
"I can't afford your apology." Zhong Nianyao shook her head and said coldly, "No matter whose idea it was, it's a fact that my mother has been lying in bed for so many years. It's also a fact that she was used as a tool to prolong your life."
"Then what exactly do you want?" Yi Huai was also anxious. "We have already apologized and are willing to give any compensation. Can't you just let Wanwan go?"
"No." Zhong Nianyao said firmly, "If a few apologies can smooth things over, then I will kill you now and apologize to you. Do you think that's okay?"
"Why bother wasting time arguing with them?" Lu Yichen reached out and gently held Zhong Nianyao's hand. His gesture was gentle, but his words were particularly cruel. "If you really don't like these two people, why not just kill them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yi Huai and Huang Wan suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet.
Although it was just a few simple words, they could feel that Lu Yichen was not just talking casually, but really intended to do so.
It seemed that as long as Zhong Nian Yao said a word, he would kill them both here without hesitation.
"What? Are you scared?"
Looking at the expressions of Yi Huai and Huang Wan, Zhong Nianyao just found it funny. "Just now, weren't they still swearing that they could even use their lives to repay? Why are they so cowardly now?"
"A coward who is afraid of death!" Baili Hengyuan's eyes were full of contempt when he looked at Yi Huai.
Having never been insulted like this before, Yi Huai's face turned even uglier. However, the person who scolded him was Baili Hengyuan, and this time he was indeed in the wrong, so he endured it.
"Grandpa." Zhong Nian Yao looked at Baili Hengyuan and shook her head gently.
Baili Hengyuan didn't know what kind of medicine Zhong Nianyao was selling in her gourd, but after Zhong Nianyao shook her head, he stopped mocking Yi Huai.
"Actually, I'm a little curious." Zhong Nianyao sat there, her attitude somewhat calmer. She held her chin with one hand and looked at Yi Huai and Huang Wan. "There are so many people in this world, why did you choose to target my mother?"
"If you were to pick any ordinary person in the outside world, it wouldn't be difficult, but you chose my mom. I just can't understand this."
Even Baili Hengyuan was a little surprised when such a question was raised. However, the same doubts arose in his heart immediately.
Indeed, the Baili family was a reclusive clan, and Baili Leyao was his most beloved daughter. If this matter were to become public, it would become a matter not just between the two of them, but also between the Baili and Yi families. Yi Huai would certainly face a bad outcome for doing something like this. Perhaps, not only would he face accountability from the Baili family, but even the Yi family would no longer protect him.
If they really just wanted to use their vitality to nourish Huang Wan's body, then finding an ordinary person in the outside world would be much easier, wouldn't it? It wouldn't be easy for things to explode. Even if it did, Yi Huai wouldn't be punished too severely.
Yi Huai would definitely understand such a simple truth.
But he chose this most difficult mode, using every possible means to calculate, all in order to take Baili Leyao's vitality. This is all very puzzling.
