Chapter 110: Selfish

Chapter 110: Selfish
Shen Jinci didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. He just touched Bian Yue's hair and asked her if she should go out early tomorrow.

Bian Yue looked at Shen Jinci with amusement and said teasingly, "It should be. Why? What did Mr. Shen originally want to ask me to do?"

"Nothing, it's just that I finally have a day off, and I wanted to take you out for a walk. Shen Zhaoli recommended me a few places, all very interesting, I think girls might like them."

Shen Jinci paused, and the hand that was touching Bian Yue's hair slowed down: "But we can go next time."

Bian Yue blinked: "Mr. Shen wants to date me?"

Shen Jinci's tone was calm enough, he said: "Yes."

Bian Yue softened her heart and lowered her voice: "When this project is finished, we can relax together."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Mr. Xie has not had a smooth time recently.

Li Siheng was admitted to the hospital, Shen Jinci was at odds with the Li family again, and someone within the Xie family wanted to push Xie Zhang to take power and compete with his scheming father.

In short, it's a mess inside and outside.

When Bian Yue came to his house, Xie Zhang was feeling upset and had just politely rejected a proposal from an uncle.

Seeing Bian Yue coming in, Xie Zhang put down his phone, raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, where is this wind that brought our little princess here?"

Bian Yue gave Xie Zhang a glare that was quite hurtful. She said coldly, "If I could, I wouldn't want to come today. Xie Zhang, this is all your own fault!"

Even after being scolded so harshly, Xie Zhang remained calm. He asked Bian Yue what happened and why she was so angry.

Bian Yue sat down on the sofa and got straight to the point, "Do you remember that you once kept a little celebrity?"

"I have supported many young celebrities. Are you referring to..."

Xie Zhang was not shy and sat down opposite Bian Yue with a smile. Seeing Bian Yue's serious expression, he stopped smiling and said nonchalantly, "But the one who can trouble Miss Bian to come to my house in person to trouble me must be An Jiayi, right?"

Bian Yue didn't have many friends, but unfortunately, Xie Zhang was once one of them.

Bian Yue looked at Xie Zhang calmly and said in a deep voice: "When Jiayi committed suicide, although I was angry and scolded you, I admit that you are my friend and Jiayi and I are just acquaintances, so I didn't really do anything to you, let alone seek justice for Jiayi. Whether it was beating you or puncturing your tires, it was just to vent my anger."

"Why have you been glaring at me these past two years?" Xie Zhang questioned, "Bian Yue, you have no conscience. You know I am your best friend! From childhood to adulthood, I have been good to you, right?"

"Yes, you are my friend, so I don't want to face you. I can't blame you from a completely righteous perspective because you are good to me. I am not a black and white justice messenger. But Xie Zhang, I also have a conscience. I think what you did to Jiayi was really too much. You shouldn't treat her like this."

"But this is none of your business! In this circle, injustices happen all the time, and you can't do anything about it." Xie Zhang sighed and looked at Bian Yue with amusement, "Does Shen Jinci read fairy tales to you every night? Why have you become more soft-hearted and naive than before? Little princess!" "An Jiayi has a sister." Bian Yue interrupted Xie Zhang's playful smile.

Xie Zhang's expression changed, his beautiful face was filled with strangeness and surprise, he frowned and said slowly: "Who is An Jiayi's sister?"

"Yao Yimin," Bian Yue paused and explained, "Yao Yimin asked me to take you to see her and ask you to tell her in person about your past with Jiayi. She wants to know what happened to Jiayi's death."

Xie Zhang raised his eyebrows, "Boss Bian, are you taking me hostage? An Jiayi committed suicide, I didn't kill her. Who the hell is Yao Yimin? Do I deserve to explain to her? You really know how to flatter yourself!"

Bian Yue guessed that Xie Zhang would have this attitude.

"I did come to you out of selfish motives because I needed Yao Yimin's cooperation. But Xie Zhang, what about fairness? Do you owe Jiayi's family an explanation?"

Bian Yue looked at Xie Zhang quietly, paused, and then said, "Can you please go and explain to Yao Yimin for the sake of Jiayi's sincerity towards you?"

Xie Zhang looked at Bian Yue expressionlessly. There was a strong coldness in his eyes. He was calm and said coldly: "Bian Yue, do you know that since you made this request to me, our relationship has come to an end?"

"Xie Zhang, I know. But I'm telling you the truth. Even if Yao Yimin didn't participate in my project and she asked me to explain Jiayi's matter to her, I would still come here."

Xie Zhang's voice was indifferent, "Why?"

"Because Jiayi and I are acquainted, we should have this kind of affection. Not to mention, this is now a prerequisite for Yao Yimin to cooperate with me. I have no reason to refuse." Bian Yue looked at Xie Zhang calmly and said softly: "So, are you willing?"

Xie Zhang laughed in anger, "Since you are so determined, why don't you ask Shen Jinci or Li Siheng to come over and let them escort me over, little princess, I won't even say 'no'!"

"Because I know you're in pain too."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Jiayi's death must have been very painful for you." Bian Yue raised her eyes calmly and looked at Xie Zhang. Her eyes were clear and bright, staring at Xie Zhang cleanly, and she said word by word, "I know you're in pain, Xie Zhang. I saw you getting drunk after Jiayi's death, and I know you're feeling bad."

"That's enough, Bian Yue. Do you think you understand me? Why should I get drunk? Is such a fragile woman worth my suffering? I am a heartless person!"

Xie Zhang laughed coldly, clenched his fists, and his teeth clattered, "Bian Yue, you are really too self-righteous!"

"Just think of me as self-righteous. Then Xie Zhang, how did you know Jiayi was an orphan?"

"I just listened to what she said. Did I investigate it myself?" Xie Zhang's face was pale. He looked at Bian Yue calmly and restrainedly, but his chest was rising and falling sharply. "Bian Yue, that's enough. Don't test me anymore!"

"The reason why you knew Jiayi was an orphan was because after Jiayi passed away, you wanted someone to comfort her family. You didn't dare to tell the Xie family, so you had to ask Li Siheng for help. Li Siheng was not on guard against me. The information he asked people to find was placed in the study. I pushed the door open and saw everything."

Bian Yue looked at Xie Zhang's increasingly guilty and panicked expression, and slowed down her voice, "Actually, you feel bad too, right? You don't want Jiayi to die, so you asked Li Siheng to help you investigate. But Xie Zhang, why don't you admit it now?"
