Chapter 897: Chapter 896 Unveiling

"Thank you." Nie Lin didn’t find Qiao Xiaren’s approach abrupt; perhaps because of her appearance, she naturally exudes a kind of trustworthiness.

At first glance, there was a sense of likeability.

Upon seeing Qiao Xiaren chatting with Nie Lin, Bai Qiuqing’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately had the urge to rush over like a madwoman.

She knew that Qiao Xiaren still wanted to tell Nie Lin about Yeqian.

Not allowed—

Seeing Bai Qiuqing’s fierce struggle, Uncle Wu’s lips curled into a sinister smile, placing a hand on her shoulder, causing her eyes to suddenly widen.

She felt as if her arm had turned limp, almost like it had been twisted off.

How could she have forgotten? The Qiao Family members have always been ruthless, especially those who grew up in the Qiao Family.

Watching his daughter like this, old Mr. Bai’s lips trembled for quite a while but still lacked the power to make the burly and taciturn man let go of Bai Qiuqing.

It was infuriating to the core!

However, Qiao Xiaren and Nie Lin didn’t notice the changes happening on Bai Qiuqing’s side. They were enjoying their conversation and soon reached a consensus to go upstairs to talk.

Nie Lin had a premonition that Qiao Xiaren had something important to tell her.

"Miss Qiao, do you have something to tell me?"

After walking upstairs, Nie Lin turned around with a smile.

"Miss Nie, do you remember what happened at the bar seventeen years ago?" Qiao Xiaren asked directly to Nie Lin’s surprise, and she did not want to bring up the past.

"How did Miss Qiao know?"

The Nie Family had also resorted to measures to lock down the details of that night. Back then, pregnant and unwilling to abort, she caught a glimpse of Bai Gelin at a matchmaking dinner arranged by the old master. His warm smile was what drew her to him.

Not daring to choose among those men who were excellent in appearance and talent, she spoke a few more words with Bai Gelin and later felt quite good about him as they got to know each other.

He proposed of his own accord, not minding the child in her womb.

Sadly, the child in her womb was stillborn. Only after one last bloody glimpse, she was traumatized on the spot.

Postpartum, she developed severe depression, and to divert her attention, it was Bai Gelin who adopted a child from the orphanage to help. This child is now Bai Hao, almost curing her of the grief of losing a child and helping her forget the pain.

"Miss Qiao, what do you mean by telling me this?"

Nie Lin’s voice was a bit cold, as it was uncomfortable for her to bring up the past.

"Of course, I mean no harm, but there’s something that I need to let Miss Nie know. After all, you have the right to know the truth about what happened that year."

Qiao Xiaren paused: "The baby you gave birth to wasn’t stillborn. Your husband, Bai Gelin, collaborated with his sister to abandon your biological child at an orphanage. His name is Yeqian."

Having said all this, Nie Lin could only laugh disbelievingly: "Miss Qiao, I don’t know why you are saying this, but doesn’t it sound absurd..."

Yeqian.

Nie Lin was stunned for a moment, remembering the child she saw on TV named Yeqian, and suddenly felt a pang in her heart.

It was too ludicrous. She had witnessed with her own eyes the stillborn being handled by the doctors. If the child had indeed survived, her husband would never have done such a despicable thing.

He has always been honest and good-natured, a very decent man.
