Chapter 613: Compensation and Explanation
"What?"
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, Yi Lin couldn't help but feel confused, "Just now, I wasn't——"
"That's compensation."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhong Nianyao. She continued with a smile, "Master Yi, although I have only recently arrived, I am not completely ignorant of some of the past events. Over the years, because my mother insisted on breaking off the engagement, the Baili family, feeling guilty, has given the Yi family many benefits."
"But now that we know this is all just a trap, shouldn't the Yi family return all the benefits they've received from the Baili family over the years? If that's the case, then this is just compensation."
"The Yi family promised to give an explanation, but where is that explanation now?"
These words directly made Yi Lin not know what to say. In the end, he could only say, "So what do you want?"
When he spoke, his tone was somewhat filled with uncontrollable anger. He had never met someone like Zhong Nianyao, and no junior had ever dared to question him like this.
If it weren't for the problems Yi Huai was facing now, which only the Baili family could solve, he would have already turned the table and left.
"The so-called explanation is naturally to deal with the culprit." Zhong Nianyao glanced at Yi Huai intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued, "Or is it that the head of the Yi family is reluctant to deal with this culprit?"
Hearing such a question, Yi Lin's emotions, which he had been able to control, were about to fall apart. "Are you forcing me?"
"No, I'm just stating the facts." Zhong Nianyao shook her head slightly, then covered her mouth in surprise as if she had discovered something, and said, "Or, in fact, Master Yi has never thought of punishing the culprit, and came here today just to put on a show?"
"You——" Yi Lin was so angry that he could hardly speak.
Baili Hengyuan's expression had turned ugly. He stood up and ordered Yi Lin to leave. "Yi Lin, since you came here today without any sincerity, there's nothing more to say. Leave now! As for justice and explanation, our Baili family will seek it ourselves."
Seeing Baili Hengyuan angry, Yi Lin gritted his teeth and finally spoke, "Brother Baili, this matter is Yi Huai's fault, and I will not protect him. In addition to the compensation I just promised to give you, I can also promise you that I will exclude Yi Huai from the scope of heirs to my Yi family. What do you think?"
"Father!" Yi Huai looked at Yi Lin in disbelief.
He had always been exceptionally talented and had long been the undisputed heir to the Yi family. He had also long considered himself the future head of the Yi family.
However, now his father had actually promised the Baili family that he would never inherit the Yi family. This was like shattering all his hopes.
"That's it?" Zhong Nianyao blinked, feeling a little unbelievable. "Master Yi, you are too perfunctory! You just kicked Yi Huai out of the succession list. What kind of explanation is that?"
"Then what else do you want?" Yi Lin gritted his teeth and looked at Zhong Nianyao. He even gritted his teeth when he spoke. "This is already a big deal for our Yi family."
Zhong Nianyao shrugged her shoulders and said, "It seems that there is indeed a certain gap in our understanding!"
"Yi Lin." Baili Hengyuan called out the name directly, which also made it clear that he was in a bad mood at the moment. "If you came here today just to perform such a big show, then please go back! Our Baili family's stage is small and it really can't accommodate an actor like you."
The words were already so harsh that anyone with a bit of backbone would have left long ago.
However, Yi Lin was obviously not an ordinary person. He did not leave, but continued to talk about his willingness to compensate. However, he did not mention how he would treat Yi Huai in addition to depriving him of his heir status.
Yi Lin refused to leave and refused to compromise. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire living room became extremely weird.
Zhong Nianyao glanced at Yi Lin, who had no intention of leaving, and then glanced at Yi Huai, who was still kneeling there, a hint of deep thought flashing in her eyes.
"Master Yi, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to waste everyone's time here." Zhong Nianyao spoke directly, "Don't deny it. The purpose of your coming here today should not only be to apologize!"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's direct question, Yi Lin's eyes were a little evasive, but he just didn't say anything.
"The Yi family is unwilling to speak, so I naturally won't force you." Zhong Nianyao glanced at Yi Lin coldly, "However, it is not convenient for me to keep guests here."
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's clear order to expel him, Yi Huai took a deep breath, then looked at Zhong Nianyao and said, "Are you the one who did something to Yi Huai, making him live in pain and torture every day?"
"It's me!" Zhong Nianyao didn't hide anything and spoke directly with a smile, "But I think I'm still very merciful. After all, I don't intend to let Yi Huai die."
"You—" Yi Lin was furious. "How can this be called kindness? Do you know that he lives a miserable life every day? He—"
"I know!" Zhong Nianyao nodded, a hint of meaning in her smile. "If he wasn't tortured, why would I bother making such a big fuss?"
"Did you do this on purpose?" Yi Lin gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Isn't this obvious?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Yi Lin with a half-smile, "Isn't the reason why Patriarch Yi came here today for this very thing?"
"You know?" Yi Lin frowned, his expression becoming even worse. "So from the beginning to the end, you have been playing tricks on me, right?"
"You're really wronging me!" Zhong Nianyao shrugged her shoulders and said innocently, "I guessed it, but you never said anything! So how do I know if my guess is right?"
Baili Hengyuan, who was standing by, was completely confused. "Nian Yao, what do you mean—"
"The Yi family leader didn't come to our house this time to apologize, nor did he come to give an explanation. All he did was to get us to help solve Yi Huai's pain!" Zhong Nianyao smiled and slowly pointed out Yi Lin's purpose this time. "It seems that until now, the Yi family has not planned to give up Yi Huai!"
