125: Chapter 125: Things Are Beyond Redemption 125: Chapter 125: Things Are Beyond Redemption The door was opened by an elderly woman whom Chi Yue had seen in Bai Qing’s photo album: the Old Lady’s caretaker.
Seeing her, the caretaker was surprised, “Miss, whom are you looking for?”
Chi Yue called out, “Granny Li~”
The caretaker’s expression changed abruptly, “Are you…
are you Miss Yueyue?”
Chi Yue nodded and looked inside, “Is Grandma here?”
Having recovered from her shock, the caretaker replied, “Yes, she is inside.
Please, co in quickly.”
As she spoke, she went to help her with her luggage, and continued as they walked inside, “We were just talking about you yesterday, and here you are today.
Mrs.
Bai, Mrs.
Bai, look who has co.”
In front of the room’s French windows, an old woman with white, spotted hair sat in a wheelchair, turning her head at the sound.
“What’s all this fuss about?”
“Look, see who has co to see you.”
Mrs.
Bai turned back, locking eyes with Chi Yue and paused, “Miss Yue?”
Chi Yue said, “Grandma, I’m here.”
Mrs.
Bai showed a surprised expression, then looked behind her, “Where is your mother?
Why didn’t she co in with you?”
Chi Yue had imagined a million reunion scenarios, but she hadn’t expected her to ask about Bai Qing first.
The repressed grievances of these days surged out, and before she could speak, her tears fell.
Mrs.
Bai and the caretaker were astonished.
After the shock, Mrs.
Bai called to the caretaker, “Quick, help get there.”
Seeing that Mrs.
Bai wanted to get up, Chi Yue quickly walked over.
As soon as Chi Yue got close, Mrs.
Bai grabbed her hand.
“Miss Yue, have they been bullying your mother?
You tell Grandma, and I’ll see to it.”
Chi Yue’s tears fell even harder, and she choked, “My mom, she has passed away.”
“What… what?”
“She had cancer, it was already advanced when they found it… she didn’t let tell you all.”
Mrs.
Bai closed her eyes and fainted.
When Mrs.
Bai woke again, she insisted on getting out of bed.
“Don’t hold back, I need to see my daughter…”
Chi Yue hugged her, her eyes welling up again, “Grandma, Mom was afraid you’d react this way, which is why she dared not tell you.
Can you please try to calm down first?”
How could Mrs.
Bai calm down?
Yet seeing Chi Yue’s face, so similar to Bai Qing’s, she forcefully suppressed her grief and asked, “Tell Grandma, how have you all been these years?”
Chi Yue sat by the bed and described their life over the years to her, subconsciously omitting Chi Jianshan’s affair.
Mrs.
Bai sighed deeply, “It’s all my fault.
If I had just intervened then, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.
Yueyue, from now on, you’ll stay here.
I will talk to your father about it.”
Chi Yue was silent for a mont, then said, “I’ve severed parental ties with him, there’s no need to talk to him.”
Despite having lived a long life and witnessing many such incidents, Mrs.
Bai found it hard to stay composed when it actually involved her own family.
“Mrs.
Li, go call the lawyer!”
Chi Yue frowned, “Grandma, don’t be rash.
They haven’t mistreated , and our possessions haven’t fallen into their hands.”
“Utter nonsense!
I knew from the start he was no good, and I don’t know what spell your mother was under, insisting on marrying him.
If I had known, I would never have allowed your mother to marry him!”
Talk as she might, Mrs.
Bai knew better than anyone that it was too late to change anything.
Given her current health, it was also hard for her to seek justice for Bai Qing.
Chi Yue said nothing further, but as Mrs.
Bai insisted on calling the lawyer to change the will, Chi Yue couldn’t stop her and gave up.
In the afternoon, the lawyer did not co, but instead, Bai Dongyang appeared.
Upon seeing Chi Yue, his look was neither concerned nor joyful, but rather he regarded her with a somber gaze, as if they were sworn enemies.
“Twenty years away, and the mont you return, you persuade the Old Lady to change her will.
What exactly is your intention!”
