Chapter 13 Shameless
The man's noble and cold face looked even colder, and the smile on his lips was faint. Despite Li Siheng's persistent paging, he showed mercy and answered the call.
Li Siheng didn't know that the person on the other end of the phone call he mustered up the courage to make was not Bian Yue.
He spoke, less gentle and more dull: "Bian Yue, I'm here with Wen Jiao! Why haven't you come back so late!"
Shen Jinci listened indifferently without saying anything.
In the hall of the Wen family, Wen Jiao wanted to cry but had no tears. She really regretted not following Bian Yue to find Shen Jinci tonight.
Seeing that Li Siheng was extremely anxious and his gentle and handsome face was covered with dark clouds, Wen Jiao cried for help in his heart, and only regretted that he could not grow wings and fly away.
Li Siheng's face was gloomy under the light. He clenched his phone tightly and breathed rapidly, "Bian Yue! Speak! It's only been a short time since you left the Li family, but you've become so independent, right?"
The words were condescending and clearly meant to be admonitions.
But how could Bian Yue be taught a lesson by Li Siheng! Wasn't it because of Li Siheng that she left the Li family?
There was a hint of hostility between Shen Jinci's eyebrows. The Jade-faced Shura was nothing more than that.
He sneered and hung up the phone.
It was a very faint and cold laugh, but it was enough to freeze one's blood.
There was only a busy tone on the phone. The man just now had a sarcastic sneer, which seemed more like Li Siheng's illusion.
But Li Siheng knew it was not the case.
When Wen Jiao saw the anger on Li Siheng's face suddenly stop, he knew that something was wrong.
She was about to explain when she suddenly saw Li Siheng's hand holding the phone drop down, looking eerily calm.
All the blood in Wen Jiao's body froze completely at this moment.
Wen Jiao trembled and said, "Si Heng, listen to me, actually..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Siheng threw his phone to the ground with a loud bang, which put an abrupt end to Wen Jiao's explanation.
Wen Jiao suddenly admired Bian Yue for daring to break up with Li Siheng.
This man seems gentle and easy to talk to, but once his aura and oppressive feeling arise, it is clear that people have no power to fight back.
Li Siheng slowly turned his head and looked at Wen Jiao, his expression no longer revealing any emotion.
"Wen Jiao, tell me, will Bian Yue come back tonight?"
Unlike his violent attitude, he spoke softly and gently, and even smiled gently after he finished speaking.
But this smile only made Wen Jiao's legs go weak with fear.
Wen Jiao knew that this matter could not be concealed any longer, but her friendship with her best friend was as strong as a mountain, so she tried to cover up for Bian Yue, "Bian Yue just went out to relax! Si Heng, don't think too much about it. You guys had a fight recently, and Bian Yue is unhappy! It makes sense!"
Li Siheng walked up to Wen Jiao, his voice becoming softer and softer: "Relax? Relax with a man?"
Wen Jiao didn't know how Li Siheng guessed the man's level. She just thought that Bian Yue said something unpleasant on the phone.
"Those are all Bian Yue's one-sided words! How could Bian Yue find a man!" Wen Jiao could only laugh dryly.
"It wasn't Bian Yue who answered the phone just now. I heard a man's laughter."
There was no emotion in Li Siheng's voice.
Wen Jiao's smile froze, and she cursed Bian Yue in her heart for being so careless!
The emotion in Li Siheng's voice faded. "Why did she go out to find a man? To get revenge on me, to sleep with another man?"
Wen Jiao was completely panicked, raised her head and said anxiously, "Si Heng. Bian Yue Bian Yue went to find Shen Jinci, she wants Shen Jinci to help her with something!"
Li Siheng still remembers the word "Bian Yue" from Shen Jinci's lips during the dinner that night.
His heart was frozen, even his fingertips were cold, his voice was cold, "Where did they go?"
Wen Jiao wanted to cry but had no tears. "I don't know where they went exactly. I really don't know!"
Li Siheng turned around and walked out quickly, and a chill spread wherever he passed.
Wen Jiao heard Li Siheng instructing the two rows of subordinates at the door. He said, "Go check! Check the whereabouts of Shen Jinci."
The leader, Bai Xu, changed his expression. He didn't care that Wen Jiao was still present, and directly rejected Li Siheng's face. He said, "Master, if we investigate Shen Jinci directly, will it affect the relationship between the two families?"
Li Siheng paused and looked at Bai Xu, his eyes bloodshot. He was smiling, but his warm appearance couldn't hide the irritability inside. He said, "Fuck the relationship between the two families! Check! Now!"
Wen Jiao was so frightened that he almost went crazy.
Who would believe it if she told others? The young master of the Li family, who always looked at people with a smile and never showed his emotions, got furious at her in the middle of the night.
This night, Hong Kong is destined to be turbulent.
But Bian Yue slept peacefully, and when he woke up, the sky was bright.
She came out of the bedroom, her mind still dull from being drunk.
Until he saw the living room, Shen Jinci was sitting on the sofa with his back to him.
He was wearing a simple white shirt, and his back alone was very attractive. He didn't turn around, probably because he heard footsteps. He said calmly, "Are you awake? Eat something."
Only then did Bian Yue turn her gaze away from Shen Jinci and see the mahogany pear blossom table with a pile of breakfast on it.
He actually prepared so much breakfast.
Bian Yue exclaimed: "How can two people finish it?"
Having said that, he still walked to the opposite side of Shen Jinci and sat down.
Among a bunch of exquisite Chinese and Western breakfasts, Bian Yue chose a bowl of the simplest-looking tofu pudding and tasted it.
"Do you always eat such a rich meal in the morning?" The tofu pudding was moderately sweet. Bian Yue drank several sips of it contentedly, but she was not forgetting to be picky. "I went to the mainland for a trip last year and tried salty ones. They were better than this."
Shen Jinci asked her what to do?
Bian Yue said that you just need to replace sugar with soy sauce and dried shrimp, and you can also add chili peppers.
Shen Jinci raised his eyebrows calmly, watching Bian Yue eating sweetly, a smile flashed across his eyes, and he said he knew. The two of them were in a good mood when there was a knock on the door.
Bian Yue thought he was looking for Shen Jinci. Seeing that the man was still drinking coffee calmly, she kindly said, "Someone is looking for you. Why don't you go and open the door?"
Shen Jinci put down his coffee and looked at Bian Yue with a half-smile, "Maybe, he's here to see you?"
The knocking on the door continued and became more and more urgent.
Bian Yue was stunned at first, then she came to her senses, drank the tofu pudding in one gulp, and picked up the phone that had been abandoned on the sofa all night.
Miss Wen Jiao sent countless messages.
From the beginning to the end of time, each piece of information is rich.
Wen Jiao said: "Bian Yue, Li Siheng has found me! Hurry up and answer the phone to deal with him!"
Wen Jiao said: "Li Siheng knows that you went to see Shen Jinci, and he is looking for you all over the city now!"
Wen Jiao said, "You must not let Li Siheng know that you and Shen Jinci spent the night together! Otherwise, if he insists that you cheated, those people in the Li family will eat you alive! They will have even more reason to withhold your inheritance!"
Bian Yue read this last one several times.
Bian Yue clutched her phone tightly with shaking hands, looked at Shen Jinci, and said tremblingly, "Li Siheng came to see me."
Shen Jinci's expression was calm: "I'll go open the door."
Bian Yue was so scared that she held his hand, just like that time at the banquet, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.
Bian Yue said: "I can't let Li Siheng know that I spent the night with you!"
Shen Jinci's eyebrows were calm, and his voice was light and indifferent, "Do you think I am shameful?"
For a moment, Bian Yue couldn't quite understand the emotions in Shen Jinci's words.
Can't see anyone?
Their relationship, anyway, doesn't require such ambiguous words, right?
How could an adult man and woman, as clear-headed as Shen Jinci, not be able to tell whether he came for profit or for love?
She only seeks an exchange of benefits.
Bian Yue slowly released her hand from Shen Jinci's wrist. She made a quick decision when she heard the rapid knocks on the door. "I'll go hide in my room. If Li Siheng asks, Mr. Shen will say that I left last night."
Shen Jinci looked at Bian Yue who was trying hard to distance herself from him.
They had just had a great chat last night.
Shen Jinci thought that she should be able to feel his sincerity and gentleness, but in Bian Yue's eyes, it turned out that it was all business.
Those drunken words are nothing more than emotional cards.
He understood Bian Yue's concerns, but he rarely lost his mind. Complex and unspeakable emotions flooded his heart.
"Mr. Shen," Bian Yue seemed to beg.
Shen Jinci had a cold and pale face and a cold temperament. He spoke, but there was no clue. He said, "Go in and hide."
Bian Yue was afraid that Shen Jinci would change his mind the next second, so she ran towards the bedroom without hesitation.
Shen Jinci watched Bian Yue's figure disappear at the door before he stood up and walked towards the direction of the knock on the door.
The door opened and all sounds stopped.
"Morning, Mr. Shen."
"Morning, Mr. Li."
The two men looked at each other, exchanged greetings, and neither was very happy.
Li Siheng's palms felt numb, but he sneered at Shen Jinci as if nothing had happened: "Mr. Shen, could you please let me in and have a seat?"
"It's inconvenient." Shen Jinci said in a cold tone.
Li Siheng looked towards the hall, which was empty.
But on the pear wood table, there was clearly a coffee cup on one side and a clean lunch box on the other.
Li Siheng's heart suddenly fell into the abyss, and the only trace of luck he had left disappeared at this moment.
He was very angry, and there was a sharp pain in his lungs.
"It's really inconvenient." Li Siheng sneered and looked directly at Shen Jinci. The hostility in his eyes was intense for a moment, and then quickly turned into calmness. "Mr. Shen, have a good meal. I shouldn't have come."
Shen Jinci looked at him indifferently, calmly and distantly: "You really shouldn't have come."
Bian Yue stayed in the bedroom anxiously for a while, then the bedroom door was opened and Shen Jinci stood at the door.
The man's figure was backlit, with a faint halo around him, which diluted his cold temperament.
He said, "Li Siheng is gone."
Bian Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said sorry for disturbing her and wanted to go home.
Shen Jinci watched Bian Yue pack her bag, then stand up and walk towards him, saying goodbye.
She said, "You are right. Even if I get all my parents' money, I don't have the ability to protect myself with such a large sum of money. I need to think about this matter carefully. Thank you for your advice, Mr. Shen! Goodbye, Mr. Shen!"
It turned out that I was taking an economic planning class.
Shen Jinci pulled the corners of his lips, smiling faintly, and said: "Bian Yue, you said you want to take a long-term view, but people can't take care of everything. If you want to keep your parents' things, you have to pay some price."
After he finished speaking, he looked uncomfortable, covered his fist and coughed softly, then he opened his palms, which were covered in blood.
Bian Yue was confused by what she heard, and when she saw Shen Jinci coughing up blood, she was frightened and lost her mind, "Why are you vomiting blood!"
