Chapter 15 Come with me
Shi Anan bit her lip, turned around and walked away quickly like a drowning dog.
Li Siheng came down from upstairs and saw Shi Anan's back disappear from his sight.
On the sofa, Bian Yue looked arrogant.
Li Siheng looked at Bian Yue and said softly, "Aren't you going to let Shi Anan leave the crew?"
"Let's keep things separate. I don't want to mix work and personal matters together," Bian Yue paused and smiled, "Besides, flies don't bite seamless eggs."
Li Siheng's face darkened, and he heard Bian Yue say, "I contacted my uncle half an hour ago to discuss the cancellation of the engagement. Calculating the time, they should be here soon."
Li Siheng tightened his grip on the stair railing.
"Do you have to be so ruthless? Bian Yue, if you cancel the engagement now, have you considered the consequences?"
"Li Siheng, I am the eldest daughter of the Bian family! I have my pride. You want to use my parents' inheritance to threaten me into a fake marriage with you? That's impossible!"
Bian Yue's face turned cold, and she leaned back on the sofa. "No one can touch the inheritance without my approval. At worst, I can just keep it in a Swiss bank for life! I'll donate all of it when I die! That's a good thing!"
It seemed like the first day Li Siheng met Bian Yue. The Bian Yue in front of him was still the same arrogant and spoiled girl who had never changed. The difference was that he thought Bian Yue was weak and would cry helplessly if no one saved her.
But she would rather die than surrender.
Li Siheng was shocked.
Bian Yue paused, then spoke again, even colder, "I know about the marriages between aristocratic families. Many women can pretend to be fine as long as their husbands don't have children outside. They wait for their husbands to come back after playing around for a long time. They can even thank God and say that they are a playboy! But I, Bian Yue, can't do that! My man can only be mine!"
There was so much silence between the two that the air felt scorched.
Li Siheng's expression was stiff, and Wen Ya's face was gloomy. He walked in front of Bian Yue, clenched his fists, and was about to speak when Bian Yue stood up.
The phone in her hand was vibrating. She picked it up and gestured to Li Siheng, "Just when I finished dealing with it, my uncle arrived."
Bian Yue said calmly, "Li Siheng, I will fulfill your wish today and set you free."
Li Siheng just felt that his breathing was difficult, his mind was blank, and Bian Yue had already walked out in a leisurely manner.
In the Li family hall, Li Siheng's father Li Tingmo and mother Tang Yuwei were both there.
Tang Yuwei is nearly 50 years old, well-maintained, wearing a Chinese embroidered dress, with her hair tied up and a calm face.
When she saw Bian Yue, she walked towards her with a smile and said softly, "I was just talking about this on the way here. Today is a rare good day, and I want to take you and Si Heng together. Our family hasn't gone out for dinner for a long time."
Bian Yue smiled, feeling that Tang Yuwei had already grasped her hand familiarly.
Their attitude is as close as that of mother and daughter. Looking across Hong Kong, there are few ladies who can get along so well with their future mother-in-law.
But Bian Yue came today to cut off this good relationship with her own hands.
Bian Yue followed Tang Yuwei's footsteps and sat down beside her.
"Thank you Auntie for always being on my side. Auntie has been very kind to me over the years in the Li family. I am very grateful."
Seeing that she was well behaved, Tang Yuwei exchanged glances with Li Tingmo, who was silent beside her, and then looked at Bian Yue and said slowly: "Child, you also know that Auntie loves you? Then why are you throwing a tantrum and saying that you want to cancel the engagement with Si Heng?"
"I'm not throwing a tantrum. There have been problems between Si Heng and I for a long time. I have always turned a blind eye to it, but now I want to face this problem squarely." Bian Yue raised her head and looked at Li Tingmo: "Uncle, my engagement with Si Heng ends here."
Li Tingmo's eyes flashed with anger, and he put on a serious face, "Did that brat Li Siheng bully you? Bian Yue, don't be afraid, your auntie and I will never help this little bastard!"
As he finished speaking, Li Siheng had already walked in. He regained his usual gentleness and calmness and said, "This marriage is indeed unnecessary."
These words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Li Tingmo strode towards Li Siheng, and the father and son confronted each other at the door.
"Li Siheng! Bian Yue is the only daughter of the Bian family. Have you forgotten what you said in the Bian family's mourning hall when you brought her back to the Li family?"
Li Tingmo's voice was cold and full of anger: "You said you would take care of Bian Yue for the rest of your life!"
Bian Yue sat next to Tang Yuwei, and seeing the tense situation between the Li father and son, she couldn't help feeling panicked.
In Bian Yue's memory, the relationship between Li Siheng and Li Tingmo was always unfamiliar and polite.
But given the current situation, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there is a deep hatred between them.
"Dad," Li Siheng pulled the corner of his lips slightly, adding fuel to the fire: "I was only 18 years old at that time, and you asked me to take on another person's life! I did it, but I'm tired now. I want to get rid of this burden, is that not okay?"
burden?
Bian Yue's face turned pale.
It turns out that the so-called redemption was something Li Siheng was unwilling to do from the very beginning?
Li Tingmo pointed at Li Siheng and trembled for a long time before he said angrily: "You are really capable, Li Siheng! You want to piss me off to death now!"
"There is no possibility between Bian Yue and me." Li Siheng looked past Li Tingmo and looked at Bian Yue, "Just do as Bian Yue said and cancel the engagement. This is also what I mean."
"Butler!" Li Tingmo said in a deep voice, "According to the family rules!"
Tang Yuwei, who had been sitting upright with a face as kind as a bodhisattva, suddenly changed her expression and stood up, "Husband, Si Heng is not in good health, you can't use family rules!"
But the butler had already handed a black rattan stick as thick as a wrist to Li Tingmo.
The cane is soaked in tung oil, and the scars from hitting the body will not heal for half a month. If you hit it a few more times, the skin will be torn and bloody. Li Tingmo took it, his face was fierce, and his elegant temperament disappeared, "Li Siheng, I will ask you one last time about this engagement, do you want to cancel it?"
Li Siheng saw the panic in Bian Yue's eyes, and he knelt down calmly, "I want to cancel the engagement, Dad, Bian Yue is already an outsider, let her leave."
"Bian Yue!" Tang Yuwei saw that Li Tingmo was getting serious and burst into tears. She pulled Bian Yue's wrist and begged, "Hurry up and tell me! Say you were just joking and you don't want to break up your engagement with Si Heng!"
Bian Yue never thought that things would turn out like this.
She looked at Li Siheng kneeling straight with a look of willingness to endure it, and knew that he had been waiting for a long time to get rid of her, and was willing to suffer injuries.
But Bian Yue took personal responsibility for her own actions. "It was me who proposed to cancel the engagement today. If uncle wants to hit you, just hit me."
Li Siheng's eyes were filled with anger. He glared at Bian Yue and said, "I told you to get out now!"
Before Bian Yue could open her mouth, Li Tingmo had already swung the cane down. With a dull sound, bloodstains appeared on Li Siheng's back, which was shocking.
Tang Yuwei could no longer bear it and slapped Bian Yue in the face, "You are so shameless! If it weren't for the fact that you are an orphan of the Bian family, the Li family would never have adopted you! It is your blessing that Si Heng is your match!"
Bian Yue was stunned by the slap, and Li Tingmo did not expect that Tang Yuwei was so eager to protect her son that she actually attacked Bian Yue.
The severe pain in Li Siheng's back did not change his expression at all, but the moment Bian Yue was hit, his face turned extremely pale.
Bian Yue saw the hatred in Tang Yuwei's eyes.
This slap and the harsh words made the warmth and beauty that Bian Yue had always believed in begin to fester.
Until the sound of footsteps outside the door broke the strange and tense atmosphere.
The man was dressed in black, which matched the gloom outside. He looked even more unapproachable and overwhelming.
It’s Shen Jinci.
"Mr. Shen, why are you here?" Li Tingmo looked surprised.
Shen Jinci didn't say anything. He walked in, his cold and fair face was indifferent, until he saw the finger marks on Bian Yue's face, his brows wrinkled slightly.
The man said slowly: "Since the engagement is cancelled, I will take her away with me."
His aura was so overwhelming that no one objected until he took Bian Yue's hand in public.
But Bian Yue only felt the warmth of the man's palm. The moment he held her hand, it was so warm that her nose was sore.
He looked at me and asked with a protective look: "Will you come with me?"
Just now, Tang Yuwei's slap shattered all of Bian Yue's fantasies.
Bian Yue never expected that the Li family would regard her as equally important as Li Siheng. This was wishful thinking.
But after so many years of getting along, if Tang Yuwei's words just now were sincere, then she was really cold and indifferent to me.
Bian Yue lowered her head and let Shen Jinci pull her away in a daze.
As the two of them passed through the hall, Li Siheng finally spoke in a suppressed voice: "Mr. Shen, by taking people away at this time, is this interfering with the private affairs of the Li family?"
"Bian Yue's engagement with you has been cancelled, so what kind of private matter is this?" Shen Jinci said indifferently. He felt the coldness in Bian Yue's palms and subconsciously tightened them.
This time, no one spoke.
When the person disappeared, Li Tingmo angrily threw away the cane in his hand and looked at Tang Yuwei: "What did you just say to Bian Yue? Is this what you, as an elder, should say?"
"Hubby, why are you pretending now that there are no outsiders around!"
Tang Yuwei was so angry that she squatted down and supported the injured Li Siheng, complaining, "You are really crazy! For Bian Yue, you beat our son like this! How could you be so harsh!"
Li Tingmo looked at Li Siheng coldly. He only hated himself for not being strong enough to wake this rebellious son up.
"Shen Jinci suddenly appeared here just now. Why do you think it was for?"
Li Tingmo said coldly: "Li Siheng, if you don't put in some effort, Bian Yue will really run away with another man!"
Li Siheng sneered, his gentle face unable to remain calm due to the increasingly clear pain. He said hoarsely: "I have only had brotherly and sister feelings for Bian Yue for a long time, but Bian Yue will never fall in love with anyone else except me."
Tang Yuwei helped Li Siheng up, anxious and distressed, "Stop talking! Mom will take you to rest!"
On the other side, inside the car.
Shen Jinci held an ice pack in his hand, intending to apply it to the wound on Bian Yue's face.
But before his hands touched hers, Bian Yue stopped him, "I can do it myself! Thank you, Mr. Shen!"
Shen Jinci stuffed the ice pack into Bian Yue's hand and said nothing.
Bian Yue carefully brought the ice pack close to her face, testing the strength, and relaxed her brows.
The car was driving smoothly, and Bian Yue finally had the mind to ask, "How did Mr. Shen know that I was at the Li family?"
