The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 437 - Chapter 437 Chapter 467 No Divorce Anymore

Chapter 437: Chapter 467: No Divorce Anymore Chapter 437: Chapter 467: No Divorce Anymore “She–” Zhong Niangyao thought for a moment before speaking, “She must be my birth mother, right? How is she doing now?”

“Baili Le Yao is Baili Hengyuan’s youngest daughter, and she also showed great talent from a young age, holding a considerable position within the Baili Family,” Lu Yichen continued, “However, it’s said that Baili Le Yao has been plagued with illness for over a decade now and has been bedridden for many years.”

After hearing Lu Yichen’s words, a flicker of deep thought passed through Zhong Niangyao’s eyes, “What about the truth?”

Now, it was very likely that Baili Le Yao was her biological mother. But what was the deal with her being bedridden? And what about her biological father? His disappearance and her mother’s illness, was there any connection?

“I’m not clear on that,” Lu Yichen shook his head, “The Baili Family is skilled in witchcraft and lives secluded in the depths of Changbai Mountain. It’s not easy to get in to investigate.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded, “It seems that we must go there in person to find out.”

Lu Yichen didn’t object to Zhong Niangyao’s decision and seemed to have anticipated it, “I will make the arrangements. However, even if we go, there’s no need to rush. At least–”

When he got to this point, he cast a meaningful smile at Zhong Niangyao, “At least let’s wait until our own matters are settled first, shall we?”

After hearing Lu Yichen’s words, Zhong Niangyao felt her heart thumping wildly, and her cheeks grew somewhat hot; she gave Lu Yichen a white look, slightly annoyed, “Why are you so obsessed with this matter?”

“Of course,” Lu Yichen spoke as if it were only natural, “Right now, this is the most important thing to me, of course I can’t stop thinking about it. Or could it be–”

Lu Yichen’s voice took on a dangerous edge, “In Yaoyao’s heart, is this matter actually not that important?”

“How could that be?” Zhong Niangyao’s survival instincts were still strong; she straightened her expression and spoke with all seriousness, “This is a matter that concerns our whole lives! How could I not take it seriously! I think what you said is right. Before we go to Changbai Mountain, we must first settle our own affairs. It would also ease the minds of the elders from both families.”

Lu Yichen’s gaze softened, seemingly satisfied with the response, and he nodded.

As they were talking, Zhong Niangyao’s phone suddenly rang.

She picked up her phone and glanced at it with some surprise, then answered the call.

Who knows what was said on the other end of the phone; her frown grew tighter, and she didn’t speak a word until she ended the call with a simple “I understand.”

“Did something happen?” Lu Yichen naturally noticed Zhong Niangyao’s unusual reaction, so he asked, “It seems like it’s not good news!”

“Indeed,” Zhong Niangyao nodded, looked up at Lu Yichen, spread her hands, and said, “It looks like my Second Uncle and Li Yiqiu probably won’t be getting a divorce.”

Lu Yichen was taken aback after hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, “Was there an accident?”

“Mhm,” Zhong Niangyao sighed with a hint of emotion, “Second Uncle and Li Yiqiu were already at the door of the civil affairs bureau when the accident happened.”

“Right outside the civil affairs bureau, a car suddenly lost control and hurtled towards them. In a critical moment, Li Yiqiu pushed my Second Uncle out of the way. Second Uncle only sustained minor scrapes, but Li Yiqiu is now in critical care.”

Regardless of whether Li Yiqiu could be saved, it was unlikely that she and Second Uncle would divorce. After all, Li Yiqiu was injured while saving Second Uncle. If Second Uncle insisted on divorcing now, it would truly be outrageous.

Moreover, it’s unlikely that my grandparents would continue to pressure them to divorce. Otherwise, it would be too inhumane, and the Li family would certainly not agree.

“Was it really an accident, or–” Lu Yichen’s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, “purposely orchestrated?”

After hearing Lu Yichen’s words, Zhong Niangyao understood what he meant, “Before we’re certain it was intentional, let’s consider it an accident. But judging from the current situation, I’m more inclined to believe it was an accident.”

The incident happened only last night, and Li Yiqiu couldn’t have arranged all this in such a short time. After all, if one were to arrange something like this, the driver who hit the person would be crucial. It’s not easy to find a driver willing to do such a thing in such a short time.

After all, deliberately hitting someone is a criminal offense. Most people wouldn’t do such a thing for money. If not done carefully, it could backfire.

Moreover, from what grandfather said between the lines, Li Yiqiu’s condition doesn’t seem very promising, and it’s uncertain whether she can be saved.

If it really was to avoid divorce, risking her life like this was indeed too desperate.

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s speculation, Lu Yichen shrugged his shoulders and expressed no opinion, simply asking, “What about now? Should we rush to the hospital?”

“Let’s wait a bit longer!” Zhong Niangyao said lightly, “At least until Li Yiqiu is out of the emergency room!”

Otherwise, if she got there now, she might end up being morally kidnapped by some people who aren’t quite rational.

Though she wasn’t afraid, if she could reduce the chances of getting involved in trouble, she would do so.

Lu Yichen seemed to see what Zhong Niangyao was thinking; he couldn’t help but chuckle, “So what do you plan to do now?”

“After we finish eating, let’s still go for a walk and do some shopping!” Zhong Niangyao tilted her head and smiled, “How about we go shopping? It’s a great way to digest!”

After thinking for a while, Zhong Niangyao continued, “You know, you’ve never actually taken me shopping. It seems that you’re not quite fitting the role of my new boyfriend!”

Lu Yichen was not upset, nor did he argue back, but looked at Zhong Niangyao indulgently, nodding with a smile, “Alright, today I will accompany my girlfriend and enjoy a nice shopping spree!”

Soon after, they settled the bill and then headed to an upscale mall, starting their stroll.

Even though she was skilled in the mystic arts and once the State Preceptor of Lai Country, Zhong Niangyao was still a girl at heart, and naturally, she quite enjoyed shopping.

Just like that, the two of them casually wandered through the mall, buying whatever they liked.
