Chapter 16 He Likes
"From the way you looked this morning, I knew you couldn't keep your cool."

Shen Jinci glanced at Bian Yue and said in a dull tone, "If I had come a little later, you would have been slapped in the face."

Bian Yue nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, if it weren't for Mr. Shen, I would be in a state of misfortune now!"

She was obviously perfunctory, so Shen Jinci didn't say much, just said: "I'm going to the temple later, you can come with me."

After saying that, he covered his fist and coughed softly.

Bian Yue nervously moved closer and saw that Shen Jinci's palms were clean.

"What?" Shen Jinci knew what Bian Yue was looking at. He smiled faintly, "Are you looking forward to my death?"

Bian Yue was not embarrassed by this question. She looked away and said sincerely, "I am concerned about you. You vomited blood in the hotel today. I thought you had some terminal illness and were going to die soon."

Kang Yu, who was sitting in the front row, was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Bian Yue through the rearview mirror and admired Miss Bian's skill and courage for speaking to Mr. Shen in that way.

But looking at Mr. Shen's expression, it seems that he not only doesn't mind, but seems to be enjoying it?

Kang Yu didn't dare to look at it any longer, and silently complained in his heart that he had seen it wrong.

Ling'an Temple is not far from the Li family's home. It is the rainy season now, and the vermilion-painted gate is closed. The towering ancient trees at the gate are a deep green under the washing of rain.

Bian Yue looked at Shen Jinci curiously, "It seems that the temple is closed today. Is it not okay for us to go in?"

The Maybach stopped in the pouring rain, and Kang Yu held an umbrella and opened the car door for Shen Jinci.

Bian Yue was still confused, but still stood up.

The temple was indeed quiet and deserted.

Shen Jinci asked Bian Yue if he believed in Buddhism and whether he wanted to go in and pray for fortune.

Bian Yue said, I have never believed in these things since I was a child. Mr. Shen, if gods and Buddhas really exist, and my mother is so pious, I, Bian Yue, should be the eldest daughter of the Bian family with both parents alive now.

She tried to sound relaxed when she said this, as if she didn't care at all, but the bitterness deep in her heart still came out.

Shen Jinci remained calm and lowered his eyes. He and Bian Yue each had an umbrella, so they kept a distance between them and said, "Then you go walk around. I'll be there soon."

After saying that, he coughed again.

Bian Yue didn't know if it was an illusion, but Shen Jinci's lips were stained with blood.

Shen Jinci has turned around.

The rain hit the umbrella with a heavy, dull sound that soon faded away.

The moon is shining in the misty rain, watching Shen Jinci's back.

It exudes aloofness, indifference and is out of reach.

He is like a god, so it wouldn't be out of place to worship him in a temple.

Kang Yu walked to Bian Yue's side and whispered, "Mr. Shen is here to pay respect to Mr. Shen and Madam Shen."

Bian Yue's eyes trembled, she couldn't hide her astonishment, and she tightened her hands holding the umbrella.

When Shen Jinci's parents passed away, Bian Yue was only 10 years old. This kind of old news, no matter how sensational it was at the time, has long been forgotten.

Shen Jinci was only 17 years old that year.

Younger than when both his parents died.

Bian Yue will never forget how the elders who seemed to be righteous and righteous on weekdays showed their ferocious fangs in the mourning hall just to divide the benefits in their hands.

Without Li Siheng, given Bian Yue's naivety at that time, she would have been eaten alive by the Bian family.

Bian Yue didn't dare to imagine how Shen Jinci had managed to protect himself and reach his current position in the Shen family surrounded by wolves.

The price he paid was unimaginable to outsiders, and rivers of blood flowed.

Just before Shen Jinci entered the temple, he heard footsteps behind him. Bian Yue ran to him, panting, and said, "It's not convenient for me to go in, so I'll wait for you outside. Shen Jinci, don't be too sad."

As she spoke, her face was as charming as the full moon, her almond eyes were clear, and her youth was invincible.

Sad?
The door to the main hall of the temple was closed. The man stood by the door, fireworks flickering on his fingertips. He looked at the solemn statue in front of him, and his nostrils were filled with sandalwood.

The two black wood boxes containing ashes were decorated with delicate mandala patterns and were placed on a conspicuous table in front of the Buddha.

Shen Jinci put out the cigarette with his slender fingers and spoke in a cold and casual voice: "Let me tell you, the person outside the door is the one I like. She doesn't believe in Buddhism, but I still ask you to bless her and make her wish come true."

The words disappeared in the room and no one else could hear them.

When Shen Jinci pushed open the door and went out, Bian Yue was squatting under the eaves, her black umbrella completely covering her, so her back could not be seen clearly.

"What are you looking at while squatting on the ground?" Shen Jinci felt a little itchy in his throat and coughed lightly twice.

Bian Yue was just in a daze. When she heard Shen Jinci's voice, she raised her umbrella and looked at him nervously. She said, "Shen Jinci, will you die if you get it?"

The light rain was getting heavier. Shen Jinci looked at Bian Yue with clear eyes. His heartstrings were plucked, and he felt pain. His eyes softened unconsciously, and he smiled: "If I die, will Miss Bian be sad?"

Bian Yue did not reply, but just looked at the man with an expression that was noble and unfathomable, like the deep and invisible sea.

Bian Yue understood very clearly that Shen Jinci was not someone she could provoke or control.

He is dangerous.

Beneath this indifferent and noble appearance, which appears to be indifferent to everything, there is a mind that is so cunning that I cannot guess it.

Bian Yue cherishes his life.

So she showed awe and said softly: "Mr. Shen, please take me home."

Shen Jinci's smile did not diminish, but he said in the same calm tone, "Okay."

In an unknown corner, a professional reporter wearing a baseball cap had a ruddy face and excitedly pressed the shutter.

After accumulating these few days, I have enough materials! Headlines are in sight! I will be successful soon!

After Shen Jinci and Bian Yue left, the reporter eagerly called Shen Shinian, "Director Shen! Thank you for your revelation! Don't worry, I will definitely give you a big headline!"

Shen Shinian on the other end of the phone sneered and hung up the phone. He stood in the yard, watching the trickling rain in front of him.

Don't blame Shen Jinci for his vicious tactics if he kills them all without giving any face to senior veterans like them.

All procedures are in place.

Shen Shinian will never forget the humiliation he suffered when Shen Jinci forced him to hand over real power in Lixing Group.

"Shen Jinci, you just returned to China and the stock market is already fluctuating and turning green. I wonder how you're going to explain this!"

Shen Shinian held the cigar between his fingers and took a deep breath, his face gloomy and depressed. When he said this, he suddenly paused and sneered: "But you don't need to explain, I will send you to reunite with your parents soon!"

The port city has continuous heavy rains during the rainy season.

A few days after saying goodbye to Shen Jinci, Bian Yue stayed at Wen Jiao's house and did not go out again.

She recalled everything that happened at the Li family that day. Tang Yuwei, whom she regarded as a relative, spoke harshly to her, and Li Siheng hugged another woman in front of her. Bian Yue could never go back to this Li family.

She was in a state of confusion, so she just stared at the rain outside the window in silence.

Until Wen Jiao ran in with a newspaper.

Jiao didn't know that Bian Yue was worried, and said in a gossipy tone while running: "Bian Yue! Shen Jinci is dying! Really soon!"

Bian Yue was startled and looked at Wen Jiao helplessly, "Shen Jinci is a good person. When did he offend you? Why do you curse him like this?"
