Chapter 10 Deserves Better
After he finished speaking, there was deathly silence.

Li Siheng's expression suddenly turned ferocious. His gentle face became distorted, veins popped out on his forehead, and he was on the verge of losing his composure.

Li Tingmo was also stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment. He noticed that Li Siheng was in a bad mood, so he held his hand hard and signaled him to calm down.

During the dinner, only Shen Jinci remained calm and composed.

He picked up the phone and continued, "It's Bian Yue's call. I'll take it."

"So it was a phone call!" Li Tingmo felt as if he had been pardoned, and quickly said with a smile: "Okay! Mr. Shen, please do as you please."

The door closed again. Li Siheng's eyes turned red and he was obviously angry. "What did Shen Jinci mean just now!"

"It's just that Bian Yue happened to call and interrupted Shen Jinci's speech. You don't have to think too much!"

Li Tingmo calmed Li Siheng in a deep voice, paused, and then frowned and said, "I heard that you and Bian Yue were arguing recently. Just for a little star?"

Li Siheng collected his thoughts, closed his eyes, drank tea, and said nothing.

Li Tingmo frowned so hard that a fly could be pinched to death, full of displeasure: "Those low-class women outside, just leave them outside! Bian Yue is your fiancée, if you dare to let those women make her angry again, I will be the first one to not let you go!"

"Dad, I don't love Bian Yue anymore." Li Siheng put down the cup, his face calm, his peach blossom eyes calm, looking at Li Tingmo, and said slowly: "I plan to cancel the engagement with Bian Yue"

Before he finished speaking, Li Tingmo was already furious and slapped Li Siheng in the face, causing blood to flow from the corner of the latter's lips.

Li Tingmo looked at him coldly and warned him word by word: "Don't say such things again in the future."

Li Siheng wiped the blood from the corner of his lips expressionlessly, as if he was not the one being beaten.

Outside the door, Shen Jinci stood in the empty corridor and answered Bian Yue's call.

He spoke and took the initiative to greet: "Miss Bian."

Bian Yue sat opposite Wen Jiao, holding the phone card she had just obtained through the channel, and couldn't help but wonder: "How did you know it was me?"

"Guessed." The man smiled nonchalantly.

Bian Yue didn't know whether she had received the letter or not. She just clenched the business card in her hand and said, "Mr. Shen, I asked Wen Jiao to ask someone to get your contact information for me. I'm sorry for being so presumptuous."

There was a sound of air flow in the receiver. Bian Yue didn't know if it was her illusion, but she actually heard a hint of smile hidden in Shen Jinci's breathing.

Before she could investigate, she heard Shen Jinci say, "It's OK, not presumptuous."

Hearing this, Bian Yue knew that Shen Jinci couldn't see, but she still nodded like a good student: "I want to meet you, is that okay?"

"see me?"

"Yes, today, how about that?" Bian Yue said casually, "I checked the almanac and it's a good day to travel."

Shen Jinci looked at the ring on his index finger and spun it quietly. He curled his lips and said, "Okay, then today."

Bian Yue asked Shen Jinci for the address.

After Shen Jinci finished speaking and hung up, Bian Yue looked at Wen Jiao nervously, "Are you sure this will work?"

"Why not? He even answered your call and agreed to meet you! That means he doesn't hate you!"

Wen Jiao patted Bian Yue on the shoulder and said, "You can take this photo to find Shen Jinci, which can at least be considered a favor!"

Bian Yue lowered her head uncertainly, looking at the old photo in her hand.

They are Bian Yue’s parents when they were young. They are standing side by side, with father Bian holding a delicate and beautiful 4-year-old boy in his arms.

"Look! This is a great fate!" Wen Jiao said, "You are now in the right and are willing to share the benefits. Shen Jinci should agree no matter what."

Bian Yue carefully pondered Wen Jiao's words, which seemed to make sense. She hesitated for a moment and carefully studied the thin piece of paper in her hand.

Wen Jiao continued, "Besides, going to Shen Jinci now is the only way. Bian Yue, you want to get your things back, but in Hongcheng, except Shen Jinci, no one can help you."

Bian Yue didn't listen much to it. She was just thinking, Shen Jinci was so cute when he was a child, and he was completely different from the serious and cold person when he grew up.

Bian Yue secretly had a malicious thought in her heart - if she gave the little Shen Jinci two pigtails, he would be very cute!
On the other side, Shen Jinci finished his call and went back to the box.

Li Tingmo had already left, leaving his subordinates standing aside. He expressed his apologies to Shen Jinci, saying that he was old and really couldn't drink.

Shen Jinci said nothing and sat down.

Only Li Siheng and Shen Jinci were left in the box.

Li Siheng turned the wine glass in his hand, watching the amber wine shaking in his hand.

He spoke in a gentle and calm tone: "When did Mr. Shen get Bian Yue's contact information?"

Shen Jinci picked up a piece of attractively colored vegetables with chopsticks, chewed slowly, and his eating movements were very elegant. "I forgot."

Li Siheng's gentle eyebrows were finally stained with a little anger. He was still smiling, but in his gentle voice, one could hear the possessiveness: "Bian Yue is my fiancée, Mr. Shen should keep his distance."

"Oh? Bian Yue is your fiancée?" Shen Jinci repeated Li Siheng's words in a calm tone. He raised his eyes, and the oppressive feeling of being in a superior position for many years was revealed in his casual posture.

The corners of his lips were indifferent: "I thought that An An was your fiancée at that time."

Li Siheng's face changed, and he could no longer maintain the gentle mask.

"Mr. Shen, are you standing up for Bian Yue? I didn't even know when Bian Yue became Mr. Shen's friend!"

Li Siheng clenched his fists, and the next moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and the emotions on his face gradually calmed down. He picked up the wine glass on the table and gestured to Shen Jinci: "Since you are Bian Yue's friend, you are also my friend, Mr. Shen, I toast to you." Shen Jinci glanced at Li Siheng lightly. Li Siheng is only 23 years old now, and he can control his emotions to this extent. I don't know if it is because his emotions are stable or Bian Yue is of no importance to him.

Shen Jinci picked up the wine glass and responded to Li Siheng's toast.

Shen Jinci is not a good drinker. After he turned 18, he almost never touched any alcoholic beverages.

Shen Jinci thought about it carefully and realized that the reason why he agreed to Li Siheng today was probably because he was afraid that Bian Yue would be targeted.

The man pinched his brows calmly to hide the dizziness from the alcohol.

Across from him, Li Siheng put down his wine glass, looked at Shen Jinci calmly with a forbearing expression, and smiled slightly, "Mr. Shen has a low alcohol tolerance?"

But the next moment, what Shen Jinci said made Li Siheng's smile disappear.

Shen Jinci said: "If you don't like Bian Yue, just let her go."

Li Siheng's eyebrows jumped, and he said in a suppressed voice: "Mr. Shen, what position do you have to say such things to me?"

Shen Jinci did not answer quickly. He gently pinched his brows, and his hand on his forehead was like a work of art. "Bian Yue deserves a better life. If you don't cherish her, let her go."

How are Shen Jinci and Bian Yue related?

One is the heir of the Shen family and has lived abroad for the past two years; the other lives under his nose and is his spoiled little princess.

It was obvious that they rarely even met each other.

But at this moment, every word Shen Jinci said to him was full of protection.

Li Siheng held the wine glass in front of him tightly with trembling hands.

His smile was forced, and an unspeakable fear swallowed him at this moment.

A very ridiculous thought suddenly popped up in my mind - Shen Jinci returned to China just for Bian Yue.

"You like Bian Yue?" He spoke each word through his teeth, trembling, "The one you miss back home is Bian Yue?"

It's silence.

Li Siheng's peach blossom eyes were bloodshot. He tried his best to maintain his demeanor, but his smile was no longer sustainable: "Mr. Shen, are you kidding?"

"The cooperation between the Shen, Li and Jiang families remains the same. I have no objection to your father wanting to form a new joint venture. Now that the business is done, Mr. Li can go home and rest early." Shen Jinci did not answer. He stood up and prepared to go out.

Li Siheng's heart was burning with anger, his face turned pale, and he stood up shakily.

He stared at Shen Jinci's back, "Bian Yue is not someone whose feelings you can toy with!"

Shen Jinci paused and turned to look at Li Siheng.

The light was as bright as day, shining on the man's neat and delicate features, and illuminating the dull mockery in his dark eyes.

Shen Jinci said: "What qualifications do you have to say this to me? Li Siheng, you know clearly what you have done in the past two years."

It was not until the door closed again that Li Siheng finally collapsed and fell back.

The top floor of Hong Kong Hotel, the presidential suite.

Dark lights create an atmosphere, sandalwood incense floats in the air, and the European-style cold and luxurious decoration is retro.

This is the most prosperous suite in the city, only for top-level customers. The floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor overlook the hustle and bustle of the entire city.

It was almost dawn, the busiest time of the year for Hong Kong Hotel. Celebrities and dignitaries were hosting banquets in the hotel to show off their status. There were cars coming and going outside the hotel, and the traffic was even more busy than during the day. However, the traffic inside the hotel was just passing by, and they were not qualified to set foot inside.

At Bian Yue's feet, there is a division between two worlds.

And Shen Jinci is at the top.

Bian Yue was indifferent to all this. She sat on the sofa in the living room with the photos she had been looking at along the way in her hand.

During the civil strife in the Bian family, she was alone when Li Siheng took her away. By the time she really wanted to go back to look for something, everything had already been divided up.

For Bian Yue, having her parents’ faces look so young in the photo is a luxury.

I don’t know if it’s because I was watching too intently, but tears kept falling for no apparent reason.

Before Bian Yue had time to wipe it, the door opened and Shen Jinci stood at the door with Kang Yu behind him.

Kang Yu said: "Mr. Shen, Miss Bian has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

There were still tears on Bian Yue's face, and she looked extremely miserable.

Bian Yue pleaded in her heart that Shen Jinci was far away, so he didn't see anything. As long as he didn't see anything, she would definitely go to Wong Tai Sin to ask for his return and express her gratitude.

She didn't like showing her vulnerability to others, and when she came to her senses, she immediately tried to wipe away the tears from her face.

But Shen Jinci was already standing in front of her.

Bian Yue raised her head slowly, and with the sound of the metal door latch closing, Shen Jinci had already squatted in front of her. He raised his hand and gently wiped her tears.
