The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 580 - Chapter 580 Chapter 580 Affairs of That Year

Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Affairs of That Year Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Affairs of That Year Soon, three people arrived at Baili Le Yao’s room.

Seeing Baili Le Yao lying on the bed quietly like sleeping beauty, Baili Hengyuan still felt heartbroken. In his heart, he knew all too well, his daughter was not sleeping but had been in a coma. Moreover, this had been going on for over twenty years.

Every time he saw his daughter lying there quietly, he wished that she was just sleeping and would soon wake up.

Unfortunately, reality is reality and could never be changed.

Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, seeing the comatose Baili Le Yao again, remained calm and did not show any signs of surprise.

“You two–” Baili Hengyuan looked at them with a hint of suspicion in his gaze.

For some reason, he always felt that Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen seemed to have already known about Baili Le Yao’s condition. But then, thinking it over, he felt it was impossible.

Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao had only arrived at the Baili Family yesterday and had no time to investigate Baili Le Yao’s condition. Over the years, the Baili Family had kept Baili Le Yao’s condition well concealed; it was impossible for anyone to know.

Hearing Baili Hengyuan speak, Zhong Niangyao looked over with a faint gaze, showing little emotion.

Seeing Zhong Niangyao like this, Baili Hengyuan couldn’t help feeling a bit dismayed.

The moment he learned of Zhong Niangyao’s true identity, his heart was excited. He had always loved this daughter the most. So, naturally, he was affectionate toward Zhong Niangyao as well.

However, although Zhong Niangyao had called him grandfather, he always felt that she didn’t genuinely regard him as a family member.

Even now, seeing her biological mother Baili Le Yao, Zhong Niangyao’s emotions didn’t fluctuate greatly.

Thinking of all this, Baili Hengyuan couldn’t help but sigh helplessly.

“Hm?” Zhong Niangyao tilted her head, puzzled.

“It’s nothing,” after a bitter smile, Baili Hengyuan once again turned his gaze to Baili Le Yao on the bed, his eyes filled with suppressed pain, “Le Yao has been lying on this bed for many years. Over these years, her physical condition has neither improved nor worsened. But, she has just remained unconscious. I have sought many renowned doctors to examine her, but there has been no solution.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded, then looked at Baili Hengyuan and asked, “What exactly happened back then?”

Why was Baili Le Yao in such a coma? And where is Zhong Mingxin now?

All this, like a giant puzzle, waited for her to find the answer.

“Back then–” a sorrowful aura emanated from Baili Hengyuan, “the events of that time were too complex, not something that can be clearly explained in a few words.”

“We have plenty of time,” Zhong Niangyao promptly chimed in, “so feel free to speak. Plus, I should be considered one of the persons involved, right? I think, I deserve to know the truth.”

Baili Hengyuan raised his head, looking at Zhong Niangyao with complicated eyes.

After a long while, he sighed and then nodded, “Okay, if you want to know, then I will tell you! Let’s go outside to talk!”

Soon, the group left the room and went to a side hall.

After sitting down, Baili Hengyuan pondered for quite a while before slowly starting, “Actually, before Baili Le Yao met Zhong Mingxin, she was already promised in marriage.”

Hearing this, a flash of surprise appeared in Zhong Niangyao’s eyes.

This she had not expected. If what Baili Hengyuan said was true, did that make Zhong Mingxin, in fact, the ‘other man’?

Thinking this, Zhong Niangyao shivered slightly, then immediately stopped her wandering thoughts and listened as Baili Hengyuan continued.

At this point, Baili Hengyuan seemed to have fallen into recollections, his expression grim.

“Le Yao’s fiance was Yi Huai, the eldest son of the Hidden Yi Family. Unlike our Baili Family, which is skilled in witchcraft, the Yi Family excels in Divination Skill.”

“Fortune-telling?”

“Correct, a more common term would be fortune-telling. In ancient times, the Yi Family had produced many State Preceptors. Yi Huai was the most talented of his generation in the Yi Family, and Le Yao was exceptionally talented in witchcraft. Having grown up together from childhood, our two families thus arranged their marriage.”

“Only, unexpectedly, after discovering our unilaterally arranged marriage, Le Yao was furious, claiming she only ever saw Yi Huai as a brother and absolutely wouldn’t marry him. Afterwards, seizing a moment when no one was paying attention, she ran away from home and fled outside.”

“Sigh–”

“It is uncertain whether it was fate or our arbitrary interference, but outside, she met Zhong Mingxin. By the time we learned of it, she was already pregnant.”

“That child, that’s me, isn’t it?” Zhong Niangyao spoke flatly.

“Correct,” Baili Hengyuan nodded and continued, “When I learned of this news, I was very angry. My precious daughter had chosen such an ordinary man. Moreover, for that man, she repeatedly defied me as her father, even insisting on severing ties with me for his sake.”

“In the end, I directly had people bring Le Yao back and then locked her up.”

“However, Le Yao’s situation couldn’t be kept secret, especially since she was pregnant. Very soon, the Yi Family had received the news.”

“In this matter, our Baili Family was clearly in the wrong. After such an event, it was natural that the marriage arrangement couldn’t continue. Thus, I also discussed the matter of calling off the engagement with the Yi Family. Unexpectedly, Yi Huai was deeply in love with Le Yao. He refused to break off the engagement, even willing to regard the child in Le Yao’s womb as his own, just hoping to continue the marriage. Naturally, the head of the Yi Family disagreed, but absolutely couldn’t persuade Yi Huai and ultimately had to turn a blind eye.”

“Seeing Yi Huai so infatuated, and since Zhong Mingxin was just an ordinary person, completely unworthy of Le Yao, I also didn’t oppose and tacitly allowed the marriage to proceed.”

“Only, unexpectedly, Le Yao reacted strongly upon learning this, even threatening that if she were really to marry Yi Huai, she would rather kill herself. With no alternative, the marriage had to be temporarily postponed.”
