Chapter 589: Chapter 589 He Will Come Chapter 589: Chapter 589 He Will Come “Nianyao, the thing about ‘messing with something’ you just mentioned–” Baili Hengyuan was somewhat puzzled, “Is that true or false?”

Even though he found it gratifying, he thought it was not that simple to execute.

“Of course, it’s true,” Zhong Niangyao said with a smile, “Would I lie about such a thing? If it were a lie, wouldn’t it be exposed immediately?”

“Ah–” Baili Hengyuan let out a long sigh, his tone filled with a mix of sighs and indignation, “I thought of everyone, but never expected that the person who harmed Le Yao would actually be Yi Huai.”

Yi Huai had always been a junior he liked and valued. It was for this reason that he agreed to the marriage arrangement between the Baili Family and the Yi Family.

Over the years, even with the broken engagement, Yi Huai never blamed Le Yao, even mediating between the Baili Family and the Yi Family, easing relations between the two. Even now, whenever he had time, he still visited Le Yao and helped look for renowned doctors.

He had always thought Yi Huai genuinely cared for Le Yao.

But now the truth slapped him hard. He could never have imagined that the person he regarded as so caring for Le Yao was the very culprit who had caused her current plight.

“Grandfather, you’ve been blinded by the filter Yi Huai has cast over your eyes all these years,” Zhong Niangyao said with a shake of her head, “I really don’t believe a man can be magnanimous to this extent. And besides, as you said, if he truly harbors deep feelings for my mother, he would never have married and had children.”

“But, that’s because they–”
Baili Hengyuan’s words were cut off by Zhong Niangyao, “These are all excuses. If he really didn’t want to marry, no one could have forced him. Moreover–”
At this, a clear look of disgust appeared on Zhong Niangyao’s face, “You say after he got married, he still frequently visited my mother. Do you really think that’s true love? It’s utterly repulsive. It’s a disgusting behavior, both towards my mother and his wife.”

“Especially from his wife’s perspective, it’s even more revolting.”

After listening to Zhong Niangyao, Baili Hengyuan realized he couldn’t come up with any rebuttal. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly, also regretting his poor judgment in character, for welcoming a wolf into his home.

At the same time, he felt fortunate, “Nianyao, I am glad we have you. Otherwise, who knows what would have become of your mother in the end.”

It’s true that the person behind the scenes was maintaining Le Yao’s life like a blood bag, but what about the future? If one day, the other party no longer needed Le Yao, wouldn’t her life be at stake by then?

At that time, would he, with white hair, have to endure the pain of sending off his black-haired daughter?

The more he thought of this, the more he hated Yi Huai uncontrollably.

“Mother will get better,” Zhong Niangyao’s lips curved into a smile, “As for that person who has drawn so much vitality from my mother, they will be punished.”

Thinking of the small creature that Zhong Niangyao mentioned just now, Baili Hengyuan nodded, his eyes filled with a touch of gratification. However–
“Yi Huai was able to find such a wicked thing to harm Le Yao initially; could he have a way to deal with that small creature you spoke of?” Baili Hengyuan’s face bore a hint of reluctance, “If he has hurt Le Yao like this without punishment, that would be a miscarriage of the Heavenly Dao.”

“Hehe, fairness has always come from oneself. What does it have to do with the Heavenly Dao?” Zhong Niangyao chuckled and shook her head, “As for Yi Huai, don’t worry, he will soon come knocking again.”

“How could that be possible?” Baili Hengyuan shook his head, “By the time Le Yao wakes up, if he continues to visit, isn’t he afraid of exposing something?”

“He will come,” affirmed Zhong Niangyao, “Not only that, he will confess to everything, including those things he did to my mother.”

“That’s impossible,” Baili Hengyuan was far from optimistic, “Even now that we know this matter involves Yi Huai, so what? We have no evidence.”

“It’s been over twenty years now. Even if we investigate, it would be very difficult to find anything. Yi Huai must also be very clear about this, so he will definitely not admit it.”

If Yi Huai admitted to harming Le Yao, it wouldn’t just be a matter between him and Le Yao, but between the Baili Family and the Yi Family.

Over the years, in everyone’s eyes, the Yi Family has been in the victim’s position. If Yi Huai admitted his wrongdoing, the positions of the Baili Family and the Yi Family would be reversed. The victim would become the perpetrator, facing not just a simple change in status but also public opinion.

Of course, another critical point is that over the years, the Yi Family has always held the moral high ground. If the truth were exposed, they would fall hard from their pedestal.

“He will come, and he will definitely confess to those things he has done,” Zhong Niangyao spoke with conviction.

“Because of that true person behind the scenes,” Lu Yichen added quietly.

“You mean–” Baili Hengyuan seemed to have thought of something, but then felt it was unlikely, “He won’t come. Besides, since he knows of these dubious practices, maybe he also has a way to deal with the real problem behind the scenes!”

“Hehe, no one can solve it, no matter who it is,” Zhong Niangyao said confidently, “Grandfather, when Yi Huai left just now, everything I said was true. Apart from Yichen, no one can solve the real person’s problem behind the scenes.”

She had that bit of confidence. After all, it wasn’t any ordinary thing–it was Evil Qi.

“The person hidden behind Yi Huai is absolutely crucial to Yi Huai, perhaps even more important than his own life!”

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t take such a big risk to harm my mother. Even if not for the monk, you do it for the Buddha’s face. Out of consideration for the Baili Family, Yi Huai wouldn’t dare to touch my mother rashly. Unless that person is so important to Yi Huai that he is willing to take such a risk.”
