C545 Heritage Change
"Yes, really." Lu Lee nodded with a serious expression on his face, which made Bo Yaqi heave a sigh of relief. The atmosphere began to soften in an instant. In addition to the repressed atmosphere, there was also a hint of gentleness.
"Ahem, Miss." An old voice suddenly broke the atmosphere between Lu Lee and Bo Yaqi. It instantly made Lu Lee's heart go cold, but Bo Yaqi signaled Lu Lee with her eyes not to act recklessly.
Bo Yaqi had known him since he was young. This person's strength wasn't bad, but because Old Man Bai had once saved his life, he was willing to follow him. Unexpectedly, time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, so many years had passed.
"What's wrong, Chief Steward?" Bo Yaqi said in a low voice as she wiped away her tears.
"Miss, there has been a great change in the matter of the inheritance. I don't know why you didn't leave anything behind when all the property of the Old Master was owned by someone you had never met. " The butler slowly said in a puzzled tone.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who didn't understand. Lu Lee and Bo Yaqi were also among them. After the steward finished speaking, the two of them could not help but be shocked. Their four eyes simultaneously revealed a look of disbelief.
Not to mention Bo Yaqi, even an outsider like Lu Lee understood Old Man Bai's will. Instead of giving his family property to his own daughter, he gave it to a mysterious person. This was even more unfathomable than donating it naked.
I'm afraid that this heir isn't that simple. He should have some connections or background. However, what kind of powerful background did he need to have to obtain this thing? After thinking about it, Lu Lee finally came to a conclusion that this successor was very likely to be Old Man Bai's illegitimate child.
"Are you joking with me?" Bo Yaqi came back to her senses and slowly said to the butler. Her eyes showed that she did not believe her.
"I don't mean to joke with you, but this is the truth. There is no such thing as your name in the inheritance book." The steward replied in a neither humble nor haughty manner, narrating all the facts of the situation.
At this moment, the door of the funeral parlor was opened. A man in white clothes appeared outside, and all eyes were on him in an instant. Obviously, they didn't know who he was.
Who is he? Suddenly, the same question arose in everyone's heart. However, only Lu Lee could come up with an answer, and that was, he was an illegitimate child. As expected, the person who came quickly said that he verified Lu Lee's thoughts.
The man on the stage took over the topic and said politely, "Hello, everyone. My name is Booming. I'm Bo Yaqi's younger brother. I'm glad that all of you aunts and uncles have come to see me off."
As he spoke, he bowed to her in an extremely gentlemanly manner.
Other than the shocked expression on the face of the person who did it, there was also some affirmation of the person in front of him. There were even more people who suddenly had the thought of marrying their daughter to Booming.
Almost everyone was more or less appreciative of his performance, but Lu Lee on the side could not help but sneer. He hadn't heard Bo Yaqi mention his little brother earlier on, but now this person had appeared here. It was obvious that he was here to steal his family property.
Lu Lee naturally had no interest in things like family properties, but he was worried that Bo Ming would do something to hurt Bo Yaqi.
When he looked at Bo Ming again, a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes. Since those who dared to come here to try Sweeping the Field must have some ability, let's see what he does.
Lu Lee couldn't help but whisper in Bo Yaqi's ear as he thought quietly, "Don't be scared, I'm here." Bo Yaqi nodded slightly and revealed a faint smile, signaling Lu Lee not to worry.
Very soon, Bo Ming finished his speech, everything else was just a matter of taking a step forward. The real preparation was the final sentence, "I am honored that my father has given me the money. From now on, I will definitely bring glory to the Bai family, hoping to gain the support of my uncles."
When he said this, everyone was greatly shocked. They had already heard that Old Man Bai hadn't left anything for his daughter. At first, everyone thought it was a donation, but they didn't expect him to leave it for his illegitimate son.
Bo Yaqi couldn't help but cover her mouth due to the shock. Her face was full of disbelief, and only Lu Lee was watching coldly from the side.
There were no exceptions. Lu Lee had already guessed that this would happen before Bo Ming appeared. It was just that Bo Yaqi's brother was obviously more fake than he expected.
His father's death was the first to appear, and all kinds of indications did not indicate that this matter was related to Bo Ming. However, since it was Bo Yaqi's family matter, Lu Lee did not directly reveal it, so Lu Lee could not help but think of the best way to deal with Bo Yaqi while listening to Bo Ming's words.
Bo Yaqi couldn't even dream that she wasn't her father's biological daughter. Then why had her father been so good to her all these years? If she wasn't Bai Yun's daughter, then who was her father?
The mystery of her ancestry was confusing, causing Bo Yaqi's originally calm life to sink into an unprecedented state. However, Bo Yaqi did not show any signs of panic or helplessness. Despite her heart suffering great sadness, she still said to Lu Lee lightly, "Li, send me home."
"Home?" Hearing Bo Yaqi's words, a big question mark appeared on Lu Lee's head. If it was before, then it was no longer Bo Yaqi's home. But now, what was Bo Yaqi's so-called home again? Lu Lee couldn't help but ask.
"Mm, take me back to the Bai Clan." The smart Bo Yaqi quickly noticed Lu Lee's change and corrected herself after realizing that she said it wrongly. However, she still felt a pang in her heart when she used this form of address to call the place that she was once familiar with.
"What's wrong? Yaqi. " Lu Lee asked with concern when he saw Bo Yaqi's uncomfortable expression. His eyes were filled with tenderness, and only when he looked at Bo Yaqi would Lu Lee show such emotions.
"It's fine, Li. Can you take me away from here?" Bo Yaqi said in a soft voice, a trace of worry on her face.
"Yes." Listening to Bo Yaqi's words, Lu Lee nodded his head and was about to leave with Bo Yaqi. On one hand, it was out of his love for her, but on the other hand, it was because if he continued to watch Bo Yaqi's shameless performance, Lu Lee might rush forward and cut his head off with his Willow Leaf Knife.1
And then there was another tragedy added to the mourning ceremony. The people who were cut by Lu Lee's Willow Leaf Knife were all killed because of the gush of blood.
However, he really wanted to see what this dignified person would look like after he died. Sitting in the taxi, Lu Lee was still thinking.
"Li, we're here." Bo Yaqi said slowly. She pushed open the taxi door and walked out. Lu Lee took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the driver. Then, he quickly followed. The two of them appeared outside the gate of the Bai residence one after another.
In the past, Bo Yaqi would always have an inexplicable sense of belonging, but today, she didn't. The scenery around this old house hadn't changed, and the only thing that had changed was what was in her heart.
Some things can never be found again once they have been lost. Bo Yaqi looked around at the familiar surroundings and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Bo Yaqi couldn't help but feel a sense of loss as she recalled what Bo Ming told her at the funeral.
Bo Yaqi had always thought of herself as the apple of her father's eye, but how did it turn out like this? She had never thought about it, nor did she ever want to think about it.
At this moment, the only thing that made her feel warmth was Lu Lee's arm. For some reason, she felt a burst of courage holding Lu Lee's hand. Everything that was originally cloudy started to dissipate.
The spacious hall in the mansion was very grand, but due to the death of the master, most of the people went to the funeral site, so the originally lively hall became much quieter. Lu Lee looked around and found nothing else apart from the thick walls.
"Li, can you accompany me to look for her?"
Bo Yaqi said slowly, her eyes full of desire. Although she knew that her life wasn't what she had experienced over the years, Bo Yaqi couldn't help but become nervous at the thought of facing a new life.
Lu Lee couldn't help but sweat from his hand. Although it was just a trivial detail, Lu Lee had clearly noticed it.
In order to reassure Bo Yaqi, Lu Lee shook her hand and said, "Don't be scared, I still have me. Even if the sky falls, I'll still hold it up for you, silly girl. "
Lu Lee cuddled Bo Yaqi as he spoke.
Bo Yaqi, who was in Lu Lee's arms, felt an unprecedented silence. At that moment, her agitated heart finally calmed down. No matter what, he had to face what he had to face. Since he couldn't hide, he might as well just accept it.
With this thought in mind, Bo Yaqi no longer hesitated. She held Lu Lee's hand and walked towards the second floor.
On the second floor, in the hallway, was Steward Ann, who had given up his position as steward five years ago because of inconvenience. However, she had treated Bo Yaqi's father so well that she had ultimately stayed behind.
Uncle An had watched Bo Yaqi grow up, and if he really wanted to ask something, then he would undoubtedly be the most suitable person to do so.
"Who is it?" As Bo Yaqi knocked on the door, Uncle An's voice came from inside.
"It's my Uncle An. Yaqi is here to see you. Is it convenient for you to let me in?" Bo Yaqi replied obediently. Her tone was as relaxed as usual, making it so that no one could tell what she had just experienced.
Looking at Bo Yaqi's suggestion, Lu Lee felt a little sad, but other than accompanying Bo Yaqi, there was nothing else he could do. Of course, accompanying in this situation was far better than accompanying others.
"Come in, Yaqi." Uncle An's voice was heard again, and Bo Yaqi pushed him away after he had her permission.
