Chapter 289 A glimmer of hope

Xia Nuan turned back, squinted, and asked Mrs. Baili, “What on earth are you doing?”

Mrs. Baili held Xia Nuan’s hand again, “Nuan, I just want you to stop resisting me. I guess Ye Sichen also told you about your life. You are my daughter whom I lost in the past. Your responsibility is to carry on my cause.”

Xia Nuan immediately realized that why Mrs. Baili controlled her children was to do the trick. Mrs. Baili wanted her to compromise and to serve her and Yuezhao Organization wholeheartedly.

“As you know, I am now a member of Yuezhao Organization. There is no need to threaten me with my children.” Xia Nuan frowned.

But Mrs. Baili shook her head, as if she knew everything, “Don’t lie to me. In fact, I always knew your original intention to join Yuezhao Organization was to help Ye Sichen, but you didn’t expect that I would exploit you to control him.” Speaking of this, she was somewhat proud.

Xia Nuan knew clearly what she meant. At that time, in order to prevent Ye Sichen from being investigated and targeted by the Allies, she tried every means to ask Ye Sichen to join Yuezhao Organization. She thought that it was to help Ye Sichen to resolve his affair, but Mrs. Baili seized the opportunity to sign two hundred concerts for Ye Sichen, and constantly put pressure on him.

“Even if you threaten me with my children, you shouldn’t mislead Ye Sichen about the children’s death. You are really cruel to do so.” Xia Nuan became more and more resentful at Mrs. Baili’s behavior.

“Because I know that if the three children were given to Ye Sichen, you will always be involved with him. Since you care about the children, I will bring them here so that you don’t have any relationship with Ye Sichen. Ye Sichen will fall on evil days soon. Do you want to suffer it with the three children? I’m all for your good.”

Xia Nuan certainly did not agree with Mrs. Baili, but she did not refute. Now that the three children were still imprisoned by Mrs. Baili, she couldn’t go against Mrs. Baili.

“Mrs. Baili, I can do whatever you want me to do, but please don’t hurt the innocent children.” Xia Nuan thought for a while and looked at Mrs. Baili pleadingly.

Mrs. Baili nodded, “I don’t know whether you are sincere, but, anyway, I’m glad you can say this. I don’t ask you to shed blood for me, but hope you don’t interfere with my cooperation with Ye Sichen. Can you do this?”

“What can I do if I can’t? The children are imprisoned by you, so I have to cooperate with you.”

Xia Nuan smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Mrs. Baili nodded.

The three children saw Xia Nuan at that moment. They forgot the toys in their hands and ran towards Xia Nuan one after another. Through the glass, Xia Nuan faintly heard them calling her mom. Xia Nuan ran towards them excitedly and looked at them with her hands supported on the glass. Separated by the glass, the three children also put their hands on the glass, calling Xia Nuan happily.

It was just because the glass was so sound-proofing that Xia Nuan couldn’t know what they were talking about, but she knew they were happy after seeing her.

“You have to be obedient here. I will come to see you often!” Xia Nuan raised her voice and looked at the three lovely children, crying with joy. She felt that she had a goal for everything, and the gloomy world had also become brighter.

The three babies looked at Xia Nuan, nodding their heads as if they understood what Xia Nuan said. Xia Nuan shed tears, and kissed the children through the cold glass.

Seeing this, the three children came together, rushing to kiss Xia Nuan.

Seeing this, Mrs. Baili was slightly moved.

On the other side, Ye Sichen and Luo Lan met in a remote town. The town was sparsely populated. Ye Sichen took Luo Lan to a cafe house.

They booked a private room.

As soon as they entered the room, Ye Sichen asked Luo Lan, “What’s going on? Tell me clearly.”

Luo Lan thought for a while, but said nothing. At that time, the waiter came in, and Luo Lan asked for some coffee.

“I don’t come here for drinking coffee.” Ye Sichen looked a little impatient, pinching Luo Lan’s arm tightly.

Luo Lan frowned, “Ye, we can talk when we drink.”

Ye Sichen saw that Luo Lan was mentally normal, and slowly released her, “Luo Lan, don’t deceive me like a fool.”

Luo Lan stretched out another hand, holding Ye Sichen’s hand, affectionately.

Ye Sichen’s expression was quite different from Luo Lan’s. He sat passively next to Luo Lan, waiting silently for Luo Lan to finish her ordering.

After Luo Lan finished, Ye Sichen continued the topic, “Tell me the reason why do you say that my children are still alive?”

He also doubted what Luo Lan said was nonsense due to her mental abnormality, but he always hoped in the inner depths of his mind that the three children were alive.

Luo Lan handed the coffee to Ye Sichen, with a gentle smile, “Yes, the children are indeed alive.”

Ye Sichen frowned, and now he looked directly in her eyes, “Where are the children?”

“They are still controlled by Mrs. Baili. I also know that Xia Nuan left you and served for Mrs. Baili. She and Mrs. Baili are partners. This is a self-directed performance by her and Mrs. Baili. They deliberately made you believe that the children were dead.” Luo Lan lowered her voice.

Ye Sichen’s fists tightened gradually, and his eyes twitched, igniting a blazing fire.

“Ye, I know it’s absurd to say that, but in this incident, I was forced to get involved…” Luo Lan shed tears helplessly when saying this.

Ye Sichen didn’t believe her words.

“I’ll tell you the whole thing now. In fact, the three children were bought by Mrs. Baili. She knew that I can disguise people’s faces, so she threatened and forced me to disguise the three children, making them look like Wuyou, Nianci and Ansheng, so as to blind your eyes and make you think Ansheng was dead.”

“That is to say, you have been to Yuezhao Organization, so you should know where the children are imprisoned.”

Luo Lan nodded, “I do know.”

Seeing Ye Sichen’s anticipating eyes, Luo Lan said, “But the place is very dangerous, so you can’t go. I just want to tell you the truth, but I didn’t hope you to take a risk. I can’t bear to see you in such a pain, but I also can’t bear to see you get hurt…”

“Well, Luo Lan, tell me where the children are, or I will go crazy.” Ye Sichen interrupted Luo Lan.

“Ye, I will find a way to rescue them.”

“I can’t leave my children in that dangerous place!”

Luo Lan thought for a while and said, “They are in an underground backroom in the castle. I didn’t go down there, but I accidentally heard that when I disguised the children’s faces. I heard that Wuyou, Nianci and Ansheng were imprisoned there.” She didn’t lie, and it was true.

However, she volunteered to disguise the children’s faces. Mrs. Baili didn’t force her to do that. The reason she said so was to make Ye Sichen believe how innocent she was.

Ye Sichen couldn’t wait to rescue his children after hearing Luo Lan’s words.

Luo Lan tried to stop him but in vain. She followed Ye Sichen to go out.

Ye Sichen sent Luo Lan back, and then called Mrs. Baili to meet with him.

Mrs. Baili agreed.

Ye Sichen asked Mrs. Baili if the children were still alive, outspokenly.

Mrs. Baili was surprised and then smiled, “Ye Sichen, I didn’t expect that you know it so quickly. Yes, the three children did not die. The dead ones were just irrelevant people. It just like you wanted to kill me, but only killed my stand-in.”

“I can cooperate with you whatever you want me to do, but don’t hurt them.” Ye Sichen finally succumbed to Mrs. Baili again.

“I won’t hurt them, but they are irrelevant to you now. They are Xia Nuan’s children, namely my grandchildren.”

Hearing this, Ye Sichen felt terrible.

It seemed that Luo Lan was right. Xia Nuan and Mrs. Baili brewed a plot that the children were dead to cheat him. They created a false impression and wanted to take the children away from him, and they bought three children to make them look like Wuyou, Nianci and Ansheng. So, they deceived him that the children were dead.

Ye Sichen’s hatred for Xia Nuan did not diminish though the children were alive. He only felt that she was too abominable and too heartless.

A few days after Ye Sichen left the castle, a large-scale shock concert was about to begin. Ye Sichen had been busy for the concert.

Xia Nuan stayed with Mrs. Baili, worked hard for Mrs. Baili, and was indifferent to what Ye Sichen did. Mrs. Baili was very pleased with her performance, so she gradually relaxed her vigilance.

Mrs. Baili invited Zeng Guihua to come without Xia Nuan knowing it. Mrs. Baili wanted to inquire about Xia Nuan’s life from Zeng Guihua.

Zeng Guihua was evasive and seemed reluctant to say that, so Mrs. Baili asked Baili to force and allure Zeng Guihua. Zeng Guihua still emphasized that Xia Nuan was indeed her daughter.

Mrs. Baili frowned after hearing what Zeng Guihua said, “If she is not my daughter, why is there such a birthmark on her arm?”

Zeng Guihua said, “That was because Nuan was burned when she was young. It happened to be the same shape as a crescent. This is just a coincidence.”

Mrs. Baili was obviously lost. She did not believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world.

At that moment, Xia Nuan passed there and heard this.

Zeng Guihua also saw Xia Nuan, with some helplessness, “Nuan, you are indeed not Mrs. Baili’s daughter, but mine.”

Xia Nuan walked over and held Zeng Guihua’s hand, “Mom, it’s okay. You just need to tell the truth.”

Hearing this, Zeng Guihua was relieved. When they were holding each other’s hands, Xia Nuan quickly handed something to Zeng Guihua. Subconsciously, Zeng Guihua held it in her palms tightly.
