Chapter 161 Indifferent
Xie Zhang frowned, and did not relax because of Bian Yue's leisurely attitude. He stared at Bian Yue and whispered, "Before Li Tingmo notices, Bian Yue, don't go on."
Bian Yue paused while holding the wine glass. She drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, her eyes shone with coldness: "Xie Zhang, this is my own business. What qualifications do you have to advise me here?"
"We grew up together. I've watched you get to where you are today. I know it hasn't been easy for you, Bian Yue. You already have a great life now. Why do you have to hold on to the past?"
Bian Yue lowered her head and looked down from the balcony. The hustle and bustle of traffic seemed extremely small because of the height.
"Can you let go of the past? Xie Zhang, won't you have a nightmare? A dream about Wen Jiayi jumping off a building?"
Bian Yue withdrew her gaze and saw the embarrassment on Xie Zhang's face as she wished.
Bian Yue smiled, becoming calmer, "You can't completely let go of it, right?"
"I've told you many times that I've forgotten it a long time ago." Xie Zhangjun's face was cold. He pursed his lips, his lip lines turned white, and his expression seemed frozen. "Yueyue, you are not a child anymore. Do you know what the price will be if you pursue those things in the past?"
"So you came here today to lobby for the Li family? But I'm already standing here, there's no way back. If I back off, I'll have nightmares every day about my parents' death!"
Bian Yue's voice got louder as she spoke. She raised her head and looked at Xie Zhang coldly, "We are friends. We turned against each other because of our different standpoints. But I didn't expect that we even have different abilities to perceive emotions at the most basic level."
"Emotions? You are standing in this world of fame and fortune, what kind of emotions do you think you can have? Bian Yue, everyone will plot against you. You want to revive the Bian family by yourself, this is simply a foolish dream!" Xie Zhang took a deep breath, and his voice became suppressed: "I didn't want to come today, but yesterday, at the Fengcheng Group board meeting, Li Siheng vomited blood. Bian Yue, he doesn't have much time left."
Bian Yue's expression remained indifferent. She looked at the earnest face and couldn't help but sneer, "Why? Li Siheng doesn't have much time left, so in order to let him die with peace of mind, I should treat my parents' death as an accident, shake hands with the Li family, and praise world peace?"
Xie Zhang was speechless because of Bian Yue, and Bian Yue pointed to the distant ground outside the balcony.
"You are standing on the clouds now, you can get whatever you want, but do those who fall from here deserve to become stepping stones? If they die, no one will come back alive even if we investigate, so there is no need to investigate?"
Bian Yue looked at the shock and pain in Xie Zhang's eyes, and her voice dropped to the freezing point, "I can't do it. They are all living people who have existed in my life. They are the most important relatives in my life."
"Bian Yue." Xie Zhang's voice was tinged with helplessness.
Bian Yue had already turned her back to him and said, "The banquet will last a long time. If you are willing, you can go in and have some more food and drinks. I want to be alone."
Xie Zhang looked at Bian Yue's back. After a moment, as if possessed by a ghost, he turned his head and looked at the vast land under the balcony on one side.
A suffocating thought suddenly and sharply penetrated his mind - Wen Jiayi must have been very desperate to jump from such a high place, right?
This thought made Xie Zhang's face pale. He staggered back a step, holding onto the balcony railing, and managed to stay calm, but his breathing became rapid and it took him a long time to calm down.
Zhuang Jie Ning drank a lot of wine at the celebration party. She didn't care about Su Youxue's career at all, nor did she care about this so-called celebration party.
But when she stood in the banquet hall, she felt extremely happy as long as she thought that she was against Bian Yue.
Different from Su Youxue's silence, Zhuang Jie Ning was very versatile and a social swan at the banquet.
At this moment, she was drunk and pushed open the door of the lounge, but was stunned the next moment.
Under the dim light, the man in formal attire had a gentle and noble temperament. He raised his eyes and looked at her expressionlessly, exuding a coldness that kept people at a distance.
Zhuang Jie Ning just took a look and froze on the spot.
Shen Jinci.
Shen Jinci was actually here. Zhuang Jie Ning's heart was pounding, and she let the door close automatically behind her.
Under Shen Jinci's indifferent and calm scrutiny, she smiled and said softly, "Mr. Shen, what a coincidence."
"You're in the wrong room."
This was an order to expel someone without making any noise.
Zhuang Jie Ning bit her lip and looked at Shen Jinci unwillingly.
Such an opportunity is really rare. Who knows when will be the next time I can be in the same room with Shen Jinci.
So, Zhuang Jie Ning forced a smile, walked in front of Shen Jinci and sat down.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I've drunk too much. Can you let me calm down before you go out?" Her eyes were wet and pleading.
No man can remain indifferent under such a look, except Shen Jinci.
Shen Jinci's expression became even colder. His elegant upbringing prevented him from getting angry. He just said in a deep voice, "Get out."
"Mr. Shen, do you know? I'm getting married soon. My fiancé is Li Siheng, the chairman of Fengcheng Group." Zhuang Jie Ning smiled softly, "Shouldn't Mr. Shen praise me for my good taste?"
Shen Jinci didn't say anything. He took the document beside him and began to read it as if no one was around.
Zhuang Jie Ning's smile froze and she sneered, "Mr. Shen is not interested in my affairs, so what about Bian Yue's?"
The man paused holding the document and looked at Zhuang Jie Ning with even colder eyes.
"You don't have to look at me like that. Bian Yue has been concentrating on her career recently. Mr. Shen should know why, right? Because the Li family is closely related to the death of Bian Yue's parents. So you say, the three major families in Hong Kong back then, both the Bian and Li families are involved. Can the Shen family really stay out of it?"
Zhuang Jie Ning spoke casually, and as she finished speaking, Shen Jinci closed the file.
Zhuang Jie Ning showed a satisfied smile.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"Mr. Shen, Bian Yue will find out sooner or later. The Shen family knew that there was a problem with the contract signed by the Bian family. So many years have passed. Mr. Shen knows all the secrets of the Shen family. Could it be that he doesn't know about this?"
"I really don't know."
Zhuang Jie Ning's smile deepened, and she said slowly, "Mr. Shen was about to take over Lixing, right? How could you not know about such a big thing?"
Shen Jinci didn't feel the need to explain anything to Zhuang Jie Ning. He stood up indifferently and walked out.
Zhuang Jie Ning's eyes were red, and the moment Shen Jinci stood up and walked out, she suddenly reached out and hugged the man from behind.
