Chapter 606: Tangled
"It's not that exaggerated." Zhong Nianyao shook her head in amusement. "Between her and me, well, how should I put it? I don't rule out the possibility that she's my mother, but we haven't really spent much time together. It's impossible for us to get along like an ordinary mother and daughter!"
However, she was no longer a child who needed maternal love, and she did not have such a strong need for it. Therefore, even if she and Baili Leyao continued to get along in the future, it would not be possible for them to be as close as an ordinary mother and daughter.
Although she now knew that she was Zhong Nianyao and Zhong Nianyao was her, she did not have any deep feelings for her biological parents. After all, they had never been together, so it was impossible for feelings to arise spontaneously the moment they met.
Lu Yichen nodded and said, "If you don't like getting along with her, you don't have to force yourself."
He knew Zhong Nianyao very well, so he knew that Zhong Nianyao didn't like to get along closely with strangers. Now Baili Leyao was no different from a stranger to Zhong Nianyao.
"I'm not forcing her." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "No matter what, she is my biological mother. From now on, we can just keep our relationship simple. It's actually still fine."
Lu Yichen nodded, then let go of Shou and directly put his arm around Zhong Nianyao's shoulders, his tone full of pampering, "Okay, as long as you are happy. No matter what you want to do, I will always support you."
"I know." Zhong Nianyao raised her head and smiled brightly at Li Lu Yichen. "It's because you're behind me that I can be so unscrupulous! Yichen, will you always be there for me like this?"
"Yes." Lu Yichen nodded, his tone was light, but the certainty in his words was unquestionable. "As long as I am alive, I will always support you. Even if I die, I will arrange everything for you."
There was a hint of sweetness in Zhong Nianyao's smile. She didn't say anything about trusting Lu Yichen. However, when she looked at Lu Yichen, her eyes were full of trust.
The atmosphere between the two of them was so hot that it was almost bubbling with pink. If there were someone else around, they would definitely be eating dog food.
"What are you going to do about your father?"
The two continued walking forward, and Lu Yichen asked, "According to Yi Huai, he fell off a cliff. I'm afraid—"
"He's still alive." Zhong Nianyao said directly, "I read the fortunes of my grandparents before, and they didn't show any signs of losing their son. So, my father must still be alive now. But I don't know where he is."
"So when are you going to look for it?"
Lu Yichen knew Zhong Nianyao very well, so he knew that Zhong Nianyao would definitely go to find Zhong Mingxin. Even if it wasn't for others, it would be for Mr. and Mrs. Zhong.
"Let's wait until Yi Huai's problem is resolved!" Zhong Nianyao thought for a moment, "We've already waited for so many years, so a few more days won't matter."
"Do you think Yi Huai will come again?" Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows. "You've made them so miserable, and he still wants to come and humiliate himself."
"Of course he will." Zhong Nianyao smiled confidently. "He still has that evil spirit in him. He would definitely not be able to bear it if he were tortured so many times every day. If he can really endure all this pain, then I would admire him as a man."
If Yi Huai could endure all this pain, then they all had to be careful, because being able to endure such pain was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.
A glimmer flashed in Lu Yichen's eyes, and he seemed to have his own ideas in mind.
Baili Leyao's awakening was a major event for the entire Baili family, a good thing that everyone was excited about. With her awakening, the clouds and mist that had enveloped the Baili family also dissipated, and the entire Baili family was immersed in an atmosphere of joy.
In contrast, the atmosphere at the Yi family seemed much more depressed.
Yi Huai suffered inhuman torture every day, and almost everyone in the Yi family could hear his miserable voice.
In fact, at the beginning, Yi Huai could still bear it. But as time went on, he not only did not become numb to the pain, but it became more and more unbearable. Because the pain became more and more severe, and the torture lasted longer and longer.
Many times, he even felt that he might not be able to hold on any longer.
However, even so, he still didn't have the courage to commit suicide. He was unwilling to die like this, and he was unwilling to accept that his life would end in such a complete failure. However, he knew in his heart that the only person who could solve his problems was Zhong Nianyao. But Zhong Nianyao would never be willing to help him.
Besides Yi Huai, Yi Lin is also conflicted.
After learning about what Yi Huai had done, Yi Lin was very angry and furious. Of course, he was not angry because Yi Huai had done such a thing, but because Yi Huai had done such a thing and the Baili family knew about it and forced the Yi family to explain.
In the past, because of the Baili family's regretted engagement, the Yi family always felt guilty, so they had to make many concessions to the Yi family in many things.
Before, the Yi family had been enjoying the compensation from the Baili family with peace of mind. But now, all the compensation they received became a sharp knife stabbing them.
Because of Yi Huai, the Yi family was now in the wrong. Previously, the Baili family had asked the Yi family to give an explanation, and he had agreed.
However, how to explain to the Baili family is another difficult problem.
Recently, he had also witnessed the torture Yi Huai had endured and the fate of Huang Wan. He also had a vague fear of the Baili family's strength.
The Baili family was skilled in witchcraft. If they really fought to the death, the Yi family would definitely not be able to escape with anything good. As the head of the family, he absolutely could not risk the entire Yi family.
However, there was one thing that he was very concerned about, and that was how to deal with Yi Huai.
Yi Huai was a rare talent in the Yi family, possessing a remarkable aptitude for the family's art of deduction. He had long considered letting Yi Huai inherit the family business, believing he would be able to lead the Yi family to a higher level. However, this had now occurred.
