The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 586 - Chapter 586 586

Chapter 586: 586 Chapter 586: 586 Baili Hengyuan was utterly baffled by Zhong Nianyao’s mysterious demeanor.

However, seeing that Zhong Nianyao had no intention of revealing anything, he didn’t press further.

After leaving Baili Lele’s room, Baili Hengyuan went to the study alone. He had some clan affairs to deal with and also wanted to calmly consider who was behind harming Baili Lele.

As for Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao, they strolled leisurely within the premises of the Baili Family.

Although Zhong Nianyao hadn’t yet announced her identity as Baili Lele’s daughter, her position alone as a staff member from a special department was enough to keep everyone in the Baili Family from bothering them.

As they reached the garden, the two found a spot to sit down.

“You’ve guessed who it is, haven’t you?” Zhong Nianyao lifted her head towards Lu Yichen and smiled brightly, “Moreover, the person you are thinking of is the same as the one I’m thinking of, right?”

Lu Yichen nodded, “The medium from Baili Lele’s body is gone, and she will surely notice it soon. The visitor will probably show up in the next couple of days.”

Thinking of something amusing, Zhong Nianyao’s eyes twinkled as she spoke cheerily, “I wonder how grandpa will feel when he discovers the truth?”

“The storms that the Baili Clan Leader has weathered are beyond our imagination,” Lu Yichen spoke lightly, “Such things are just minor issues for him. Even upon learning the truth, his first thought will be of revenge, not sorrow.”

Because sorrow is the most useless thing in this world, doing nothing to help the situation.

Zhong Nianyao nodded, glanced at the sky, then said, “My mother will wake up in a few days, which is certainly good news. There’s just no news from my father’s side yet.”

“We could ask someone who knows, couldn’t we?” Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow.

Zhong Nianyao immediately understood his meaning and nodded with a smile, “If what grandpa said is true, then we really should clear things up.”

Lu Yichen smiled but remained silent.

The next morning, while Baili Hengyuan was still having breakfast, he heard that Yi Huai had arrived.

Hearing of Yi Huai’s arrival made Baili Hengyuan quite happy. However, as if he suddenly thought of something, his expression turned inscrutable.

He continued eating, “First, take him to the living room!”

Seeing Baili Hengyuan’s behavior surprised Housekeeper Bai.

Usually, the Family Head liked Yi Huai very much. Every time he heard that Yi Huai was coming, no matter what he was doing, he would immediately stop to welcome him.

Not just the Family Head, the other masters of the house liked Yi Huai as well.

Even he found it regrettable. Yi Huai truly loved the young miss deeply! Despite being married, he still often visited her, continually thinking of ways to help her. If the young miss had married Yi Huai in the past, many issues wouldn’t have arisen.

Although he found the Family Head’s actions strange, Housekeeper Bai remembered his position and didn’t say anything, quickly arranging for someone to carry out the order.

After leisurely finishing his breakfast, Baili Hengyuan got up, intending to go to the living room.

However, before going to welcome Yi Huai, he instructed someone to inform Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao of Yi Huai’s arrival. As for whether they wanted to come, he would leave that up to them and wouldn’t interfere.

Upon reaching the living room, seeing Yi Huai sitting there calmly, showing no signs of impatience while drinking tea, a shadow flickered in the depths of Baili Hengyuan’s eyes, then he resumed a gentle smile.

“Uncle,” Yi Huai quickly stood up, smiling, “I had some free time today, so I thought I’d come and see how Le Yao is doing. I hope I’m not disturbing you?”

His demeanor was no different from usual, nor did it show any impatience despite the long wait.

“Sorry for being a bit late, I was dealing with some important matters,” Baili Hengyuan explained with a smile, “As for being a disturbance, we don’t need to speak such words between us!”

As he said this, a trace of sorrow appeared on Baili Hengyuan’s face, “If we really have to speak of it, it is our Baili Family that owes you. Back then–”

“Uncle, it’s all in the past, let’s not bring it up again,” Yi Huai interrupted, “Everyone has the right to make choices. In this matter, no one was to blame. Just that, no one anticipated the consequences would be so severe, leaving Le Yao bedridden for so many years.”

“Sigh, it’s fate!” Baili Hengyuan sighed deeply.

Baili Hengyuan then brought Yi Huai to Baili Lele’s room.

Looking at Baili Lele, still lying in bed as if asleep, Yi Huai shook his head with a trace of sorrow in his tone, he looked at Baili Hengyuan and then spoke, “Uncle, has Le Yao’s condition improved recently?”

“It’s the same as always,” said Baili Hengyuan with a helpless shake of his head and a wry smile, “To have saved her life back then was already a stroke of great luck amidst misfortune.”

“Is that so?” Yi Huai’s tone also carried a hint of sadness, “I really hope Le Yao wakes up soon. By the way, uncle, have you invited any renowned doctors recently to check on Le Yao?”

“No, not at all!” Baili Hengyuan shook his head before speaking, “Over the years, the number of famous doctors we’ve invited is countless. Yet, Le Yao’s condition has not improved at all; I’ve stopped holding out hope.”

Yi Huai glanced at the bedridden Baili Le Yao, a shadow of darkness flitting through his eyes, then spoke, “I thought you had invited some highly skilled doctor, considering Le Yao’s complexion has changed quite a bit.”

“Really?” Baili Hengyuan looked at Yi Huai, a smile on his face but not reaching his eyes, “I haven’t noticed much difference. Perhaps it’s because you haven’t seen Le Yao in a long time that you feel this way.”

Yi Huai couldn’t help but sigh, “Seeing Le Yao like this, my heart really aches.”

“Yes,” responded Baili Hengyuan with a nod, “The person who hurt Le Yao really has no conscience. Such a person deserves to be severely punished, to die without a grave. Due to their selfish desires, they caused Le Yao to be comatose for so many years.”
