Chapter 148 Going in the opposite direction
"What do you want to hear? I tell you in my own words that the Li family was behind the death of your parents. Is this what you want to hear?" His voice was sarcastic.
Bian Yue's eyes suddenly turned red, her teeth trembled, and she looked at Li Siheng with complicated eyes, "If you think this is a misunderstanding, you can definitely produce evidence to explain it to me, but you didn't, you were just making excuses."
"Produce evidence?" Li Siheng chuckled and shook his head slowly, his eyes revealing despair. "You know very well that I have no evidence, Bian Yue, you guessed right, the truth of the matter is so filthy, the Li family was the one who pushed the Bian family to fail, I have nothing to say."
Bian Yue shed tears. She looked at Li Siheng and felt that this person, with whom she had been living for seven years, was so strange.
“You knew it from day one.”
"Yes."
"You look at me like a fool, being so grateful to the Li family, and you even plan to keep me in the dark for the rest of my life!" Bian Yue's voice got out of control and became shrill and loud, "Li Siheng, you can't be so shameless!"
"I was in a difficult situation, Bian Yue. Do you think I wasn't? For so many years, every time I looked at you, my heart was tormented. I was afraid that you would know the truth. I was afraid that you would not know how to look at me after you knew it. But what could I do? I was only 18 years old at that time! I just moved forward passively."
Li Siheng held Bian Yue's wrist tightly, refusing to let go. His peach blossom eyes were no longer smiling and gentle, only filled with pain. He said, "Bian Yue, I feel bad too. I haven't felt good in all these years. My first reaction just now was to deny it because I was afraid. I was afraid of being on the opposite side of you. But...but I still admitted it."
Bian Yue looked at him with red eyes, not shedding a single tear.
But Li Siheng felt even more bitter in his heart.
His thin lips trembled, as if he was holding a piece of driftwood in the deep sea. He looked at Bian Yue with an almost pleading look, "Because I know that truth cannot be hidden. I won't admit it today, but you will find out everything after you walk out of this door. Rather than letting others tell you, or you finding it out yourself, it's better for me to tell you myself."
"I don't care why you told me, Li Siheng. The only thing I care about is that my parents are dead. For so many years, you knew all the twists and turns, but you became your father's accomplice and refused to reveal anything to me. You watched me act like a well-behaved junior in front of your father and watched me carefully survive in the Li family. Don't you think you are ridiculous?"
"Yueyue, I want to take good care of you."
Bian Yue waved away Li Siheng's hand. She used all her strength, but the latter's weak and sick body was unable to withstand it at all. He was pushed to the sofa beside her by Bian Yue, his face pale.
"If I knew that my parents' death was related to the Li family, I would never ask you for help even if I had to beg for a living for so many years! I would not need your Li family to give me a slap in the face and then a candy as a so-called reward and care!" Bian Yue's eyes were so cold that there was no warmth at all. She said, "So, don't say such things, Li Siheng, I am so disappointed in you!"
Li Siheng felt an unspeakable burning pain surging in his chest, bringing with it a smell of blood.
He closed his eyes tightly, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal to Bian Yue's questioning.
He just remained speechless.
Bian Yue lowered her eyes to look at him and regained her composure: "What did your father do to my family back then? Li Siheng, why don't you tell me everything today."
"Yueyue, your parents' death was really an accident." Li Siheng swallowed the sweet taste in his throat, opened his eyes with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice: "Does it have to be like this between us?"
"Is there anything else to talk about between us except what happened in the past? Li Siheng, you were the first to disrespect me!" Bian Yue gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, "You kept me in the dark for so many years, have you ever respected me? What did you think of me? Now that I know it all, you still won't tell me?" "Okay, if you really want to know, I can tell you, but, Bian Yue, can you promise me that this matter will not become a knot in your heart? Yueyue, I hope to be happy in this life." He said this with sincerity, as if he was deeply affectionate.
But Bian Yue remained standing, glaring at Li Siheng, with an even stronger irony in her eyes, "Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say such things? This is my parents' business now, do you think I can be happy?"
Li Siheng looked at the cold expression in Bian Yue's eyes and felt despair slowly spreading. He also knew that everything could not go back to the way it was.
She was not that ignorant child, and it was impossible to send her off with just a few words.
Now, what she wants is an answer. If I can't give her the answer, it is only a matter of time before the two of us go in opposite directions.
But even if I give it to her, can Bian Yue really forgive me?
Forgive myself for watching the fire from the other side for so many years.
Li Siheng's expression became more and more serious. He stared at Bian Yue for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said softly: "Okay, you want an answer, I'll give you an answer, Yueyue, if this is what you want"
Bian Yue is 15 years old, it’s spring in Hong Kong, and the lights are just coming on.
The lights of Victoria Harbour are gorgeous and charming, enveloping everything inside and giving it a dreamy color.
Li Tingmo and Zhuang Yi signed a cooperation agreement with Bian Kai, chairman of Bian Group. The content of the cooperation involved both the political and business circles and was the commercial construction of a large piece of land in the south of the city.
When Bian Yue was 16 years old, the land was bought back by the Bian family at a high price. However, when the construction started, news broke that the soil tested positive for heavy radiation.
Hundreds of billions of investments were wasted, and a large number of workers developed cancer due to long-term radiation at the construction sites.
The Bian Group became the target of public criticism, and various lawsuits emerged one after another.
At this point, the Bian family faced a huge financial crisis.
The Bian couple also died in an accident shortly afterwards.
Bian Yue listened quietly to Li Siheng's description, and her hands hanging by her side slowly clenched.
She stared at Li Siheng with deep hatred, sneered, and said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, your father Li Tingmo knew that there was something wrong with this land, but he still let my father take over, right?"
"Yes."
Bian Yue staggered back a step. She looked at Li Siheng in disbelief, her voice rising unconsciously: "Do you have any heart? Why do you do this? Do you know how much my father trusts the Li family!"
"Bian Yue, business matters are not the place to talk about love. From each of your perspectives, you will see things differently. I know you are sad, but you can't dwell on it."
Li Siheng stood up, held Bian Yue's hand, and said anxiously: "My father did have a plan, but the final defeat of the Bian family was an accident."
