Chapter 604: Chapter 604 Miss Woke Up

When the three brothers of the Baili Family learned that Baili Lele’s current state was all caused by Yi Huai, they were filled with righteous indignation. If it weren’t for Baili Hengyuan’s intervention, they might have already gone to the Yi Family to settle accounts.

“That bastard.” The irascible second brother, Baili Zhenye, slammed his fist on the table, spitting out his words with fury, “Has Yi Huai’s conscience been eaten by a dog? Over the years, haven’t we in the Baili Family treated him well? Because of the broken engagement in the past, we have always felt guilty and gave him plenty of compensation. Yet, he treated Le Yao this way.”

“It is quite possible that, concerning the broken engagement of the past, Yi Huai wasn’t a victim at all.” The youngest, Baili Zhenhua, adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, a glint of wisdom shimmering in his eyes, “Looking at the situation now, it seems that from the time the marriage was arranged, Yi Huai and that Huang Wan were already involved with each other. Even if my sister had not broken off the engagement, it’s likely that Yi Huai would have found a way to prevent the marriage from continuing.”

“We absolutely can’t just let this go,” Baili Zhenhua gritted his teeth in hatred, “because of the broken engagement incident, our Baili Family has been looked down upon by the Yi Family for many years.”

“Rest assured, the Yi Family will definitely give us an explanation!” Baili Hengyuan narrowed his eyes, speaking coldly, “Yi Lin is not a fool; he knows very well what would be best for the Yi Family.”

“But Yi Lin is Yi Huai’s father; could he be biased toward Yi Huai?” Baili Zhenye voiced some doubts, “Especially since Yi Huai is his most beloved son, he would certainly be partial.”

“He won’t be,” replied Baili Hengyuan with certainty, “Although Yi Lin is fond of Yi Huai, that fondness is conditional–that Yi Huai’s existence should be a good thing, a glory for the Yi Family. If Yi Huai’s existence begins to jeopardize the reputation of the Yi Family, then he will definitely show no mercy.”

“Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Nianyao.” Baili Zhenhua spoke with relief, “If Nianyao hadn’t come this time, we would never have discovered the problem with Le Yao. Moreover, it’s possible that Le Yao might’ve–”

The last part of the sentence went unspoken, but everyone understood its meaning.

Suddenly, the entire study was enveloped in silence.

“Master, Young Master–”

Housekeeper Bai didn’t even knock; he just pushed the door open and rushed in, panting, his entire demeanor breathless, but his face bore an excited expression, almost to the point of being unable to speak.

Facing Housekeeper Bai’s indiscretion, no one in the room was angry. They all understood him well and knew that if it weren’t for something significant, Housekeeper Bai would never act so improperly.

“It’s the young miss, the young miss–” After catching his breath, Housekeeper Bai hurriedly spoke, “The young miss has awakened.”

At these words, the people in the study could no longer remain seated, rising swiftly and producing a series of grating ‘creaks’ as they moved their chairs.

Without any further ado, they all rushed towards the direction of Baili Lele’s room.

At this moment, in Baili Lele’s room–

Baili Lele was sitting up in bed, blinking her eyes in confusion and looking around with some bewilderment. She had no memory of being in a coma for over twenty years. All she remembered was having health issues shortly after giving birth. What exactly happened afterward was a complete blank.

Today, when she woke up, she had seen the excited faces around her and noticed Housekeeper Bai hurrying out as if something significant had occurred.

It wasn’t long before a man and a woman entered her room. She wanted to ask who they were but found her throat inexplicably dry, and when she tried to make a sound, it felt strange–as if it wasn’t her own voice.

After the young girl entered, she hadn’t had the chance to ask anything; the girl had already started asking her a few questions and commenced a medical examination.

She stopped trying to inquire about the girl’s identity and cooperated with her actions. For some reason, she felt an intimate connection with this girl.

This young girl was none other than Zhong Niangyao.

Originally, she and Lu Yichen were strolling in the corridor when they saw Housekeeper Bai rushing by anxiously, as if a significant event had occurred. Even when he passed by them, he showed no intention of stopping to greet them.

It was as if Housekeeper Bai couldn’t see them at all.

Zhong Niangyao glanced in the direction Housekeeper Bai had come from, an understanding flashing in her eyes.

“It seems my mother must have awakened,” said Zhong Niangyao, her expression changing very little, “Otherwise, nothing would make Housekeeper Bai this agitated.”

“Let’s go over and take a look!” Lu Yichen suggested, “We’re already close by, just a few steps away.”

“Right,” Zhong Niangyao nodded, then continued, “Waking up is not surprising; we estimated that she would wake up within these couple of days. It’s good timing; we can give her a check-up to ensure nothing goes wrong later.”

Thus, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao reached Baili Lele’s room and indeed found Baili Lele awake.

At that moment, Baili Lele had clear eyes yet carried a trace of bewilderment, clearly not understanding her own situation.

Zhong Niangyao didn’t attempt to explain. She didn’t even introduce herself before starting to examine Baili Lele.

Just as Zhong Niangyao finished the examination, Baili Hengyuan and the others arrived at Baili Lele’s room.

However, though they entered the room, they did not immediately approach Baili Lele. Standing at the door, they stared blankly at Le Yao, who was sitting there, and their eyes swiftly reddened.

It was Baili Lele who greeted them first, “Dad, big brother, second brother, third brother, why are you all just standing at the door? Come in quickly!”

Hearing Baili Lele’s voice, the eldest, Baili Hengyuan, felt a twinge in his nose and his eyes reddened further, even glinting with moisture.
