Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Mysterious Woman
“What?”
After hearing Yi Huai’s words, Huang Wan beca extrely agitated. She struggled to sit up, her voice hoarse as she spoke, “Why? Why did this happen?”
“Don’t think too much.” Yi Huai reached out, patted Huang Wan’s shoulder, and sighed, “Although father has driven us out of the Yi Family, he will not abandon us. He will arrange our future lives, so don’t overthink it.” And besides, you don’t have many days left.
The last line, Yi Huai did not say out loud, but the thought uncontrollably lingered in his mind.
He had done so much in the past, scheming against Baili Lele, extracting Baili Lele’s vitality and talents, all for Huang Wan. However, at this point, deep down, he still harbored a bit of resentnt towards Huang Wan.
Yet, she was the woman he had loved all his life. Moreover, with Huang Wan nearing the end of her life, he could not bring himself to abandon his wife.
“This absolutely cannot happen.” Huang Wan shook her head incessantly, “Ah Huai, please beg father not to drive the children out of the Yi Family! If they are really driven out, their lives will truly be over.”
Once they leave the Yi Family, their children would no longer have access to its resources. Even with high talents, it would be useless.
She and her husband could leave the Yi Family, but the children absolutely cannot.
“It’s useless.” Yi Huai gently shook his head, his tone low and calm, carrying a sense of resignation, “Father has already decided, and he will not change his mind.”
“Moreover, I’ve already begged him before, to no avail.”
Huang Wan was emotionally agitated upon hearing Yi Huai’s words, nearly unable to catch her breath.
Seeing Huang Wan like this, Yi Huai was anxious and quickly tried to soothe her, “Wanwan, don’t panic, your body absolutely cannot handle any more excitent.”
Huang Wan’s current physical condition was no different from that of an 80-year-old woman. If her mood fluctuated too greatly, she might truly be done for.
After calming down sowhat, Huang Wan seed more composed. It was as though she thought of sothing, and she grabbed Yi Huai’s hand, her eyes twinkling with excitent, “Ah Huai, go find her, go find her, she will definitely be able to help us.”
Upon hearing Huang Wan’s words, Yi Huai’s eyes widened, a hint of shock passing through his eyes, “Wanwan, do you know what you’re saying? How can we still go to her? Have you forgotten her warning to us in the past?”
Even though Huang Wan hadn’t specified, he knew exactly who she was referring to. However, they had sworn never to seek her out.
If they rashly went to her now, they would certainly anger her. That woman was truly terrifying, and he really didn’t dare.
“With the situation having reached this point, what do you think we have left to fear?” Huang Wan, with eyes red, tightly gripped Yi Huai’s hand, “She is so powerful, she will definitely be able to help us. Ah Huai, even if you don’t think for yourself, think about our children! Do you really want them to live their lives like average people, never having a chance to rise above, obeying the rules until they die?”
“Do you want them to live like walking corpses, spending their lives in diocrity, barely making ends et?”
“But that woman—” Yi Huai’s face was full of struggle, “She’s a ruthless person, even if we really find her, she might not help us. If it offends her, won’t we—”
“Stop overthinking,” Huang Wan firmly stated, “We’re already at a dead end, and you’re still hesitating. Do you really want our children to follow in our footsteps, never to see the light of day?”
Seeing Yi Huai still hesitating, she beca sowhat anxious.
“Ah Huai, didn’t she give you a talisman paper in the past, saying it was the last chance for contact? With the situation I’m in now, isn’t it urgent? Hurry up and contact her! Please beg her, help us.”
“If sothing happens to us, it wouldn’t be good for her either, would it? That thod back then, she taught it to us. Now that there’s trouble, she wants to remain uninvolved. How is that fair?”
If that person hadn’t taught them that thod back then, they wouldn’t have been able to steal Baili Lele’s vitality and talents. She clearly said that the affair would remain undiscovered.
But now, not only has it been discovered, it was discovered by the Baili Family.
Now, because of this, they were even about to be driven out of the Yi Family imdiately. Moreover, her husband was suffering unbearably due to the prior incidents.
Their only hope now was that woman. If it hadn’t been for that woman back then, they might not have succeeded in scheming against Baili Lele so smoothly. Why should they accept punishnt now when that woman could completely walk away?”
“Wanwan, that woman is not a good person either.”
After pondering for a while, Yi Huai spoke, “Seeking her might not solve our current predicant, and it’s very possible that it might lead to unforeseen changes. What then?”
“We can’t worry about that now,” Huang Wan firmly grasped Yi Huai’s hand, “Things have already reached this point. Even if they get worse, it can’t be much worse than now, can it?”
After hearing Huang Wan’s words, Yi Huai fell deep into thought. Inside his head, it seed as if two forces were continuously pulling at him.
One side felt that they should try any thod at this mont. The other side thought the woman was too dangerous, and seeking her out might make things even worse.
Having said all that needed to be said, Huang Wan didn’t urge him further, rely waiting quietly for Yi Huai to make a decision. Given the current situation, she believed Yi Huai would make the right decision.
After a long while, Yi Huai inevitably sighed deeply and then looked at Huang Wan, nodding, “Alright, I will try to contact her one last ti to see if she can help us.”
“It definitely can.”
Huang Wan wasn’t sure if she was saying this to convince herself or to give Yi Huai so confidence but at this point, that didn’t matter. What mattered now was the result.
