Chapter 17 Marry Me
"No!" Wen Jiao quickly explained, "It's the news. Don't you watch the news?"

Wen Jiao handed her the newspaper.

The headline on the front page was clearly enlarged, fearing that the audience could not read it clearly. It said: "Shen Jinci, the head of the Shen family, has been in and out of the temple for many days. He has a terminal illness and is in critical condition."

The accompanying photo shows a man standing under the eaves of a temple. His profile is deep and cold, elegant and noble. He is dressed in black and looks aloof, with a very bad aura.

This was taken a few days ago when they went to the temple together.

There is a black umbrella in the corner of the photo. From the photo, no one can guess that Bian Yue is squatting under the umbrella.

Bian Yue's hand holding the newspaper trembled, thinking of Shen Jinci coughing in front of her. And that morning, he coughed up blood.

Are you serious? You're about to die?
"This front-page headline has been broadcast for several days, and Shen Jinci has not come out to clarify. I think this matter is most likely true!"

Bian Yue didn't reply and stared at the newspaper.

Wen Jiao frowned and sighed regretfully: "But if this happens, the Shen family will probably be in chaos. When Shen Jinci dies, who knows who will be in charge. Bian Bian Yue! It's raining so hard, why did you run out!"

Bian Yue wanted to go find Shen Jinci, but she didn't want anyone else to know about this for the time being, so she didn't even alert the Wen family's driver before leaving the house, but took a taxi herself.

Bian Yue sat in the taxi and asked Xie Zhang for the address of the Shen family's old house.

Xie Zhang didn't ask any more questions. He gave the address readily and then tried to probe: "Bian Yue, what's the matter with you going to see Shen Jinci?"

The vegetation on the way to Shen's house is dense and thick. The vegetation in the subtropical climate is rendered in dark green under the rain, and the branches do not bend even in the heavy rain.

Bian Yue admired the rain and answered slowly, "The newspaper said he was dying. I'll go see him."

Xie Zhang took a deep breath, not knowing whether Bian Yue was joking or not, so he could only say, "Bian Yue, I'm not saying bad things about you. Li Siheng is indeed a jerk and deserves to die, but Shen Jinci is also not suitable for you. He is too complicated."

Outside the taxi, it was raining heavily.

Bian Yue raised the corner of her lips and said, "Let him be complicated. I don't want to be a mind reader. I'm going to discuss business with him."

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Xie Zhang really thinks that Bian Yue is very courageous. Now that negative news about Shen Jinci is flying all over the place, he goes to the Shen family alone to discuss business.

But Xie Zhang couldn't understand why Shen Jinci asked him to tell Bian Yue the address.

It's fine that the little girl is ignorant, but isn't Shen Jinci worried enough now? He even accompanied Bian Yue in making trouble.

Xie Zhang was too lazy to think about it and just wished Bian Yue all the best and a prosperous business.

Bian Yue said thank you, I also wish you to get married soon and have two children in three years.

Two years ago, Xie Zhang kept a celebrity, but Xie Zhang was just playing around, but Bian Yue liked the celebrity very much. Later, Xie Zhang and the celebrity separated, and the latter was forced to jump off a building and commit suicide by Xie Zhang's family. Since then, Bian Yue has never been kind to Xie Zhang, and she and Wen Jiao cursed Xie Zhang behind his back as a bitch who would not have children.

At this moment, Xie Zhang felt hurt and wanted to scold Bian Yue immediately, but Bian Yue had already hung up the phone.

It's really just thrown away after use, no need for phone calls! Moral education class is in vain!

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the Shen Family Manor. The driver looked at the heavy wooden door in front of him, which blocked the view inside. The driver said awkwardly, "Miss, the manor is a private area, you can't go in!"

Bian Yue went out in a hurry and didn't bring an umbrella.

She looked at the fine rain outside the window, then looked at the driver's urging eyes in the rearview mirror. She gritted her teeth, paid the fare and got off.

As soon as he got off the car, Bian Yue regretted it. The rain poured down on his head and he was immediately soaked like a drowned chicken.

Bian Yue felt the pain of raindrops hitting her body. Her eyes were washed so hard that she couldn't open them. She tried hard to open her eyes and dialed Shen Jinci's number.

She said, "Mr. Shen, I'm at the door of the Shen family. Can you ask the housekeeper to open the door? I have something to talk to you about."

On the other end, Shen Jinci paused, then said, "Right away." The wooden door slowly opened, and Bian Yue could see the scenery inside clearly.

The ground is clad in white marble slabs, and the gardens are spread out as far as the eye can see.

The housekeeper parked the car at the door. Seeing that Bian Yue was soaking wet, he quickly came over with an umbrella and said, "Miss Bian, it's a bit difficult to walk in. Please get in the car!"

Bian Yue did not refuse. She sat in the black Bentley and wrung the water out of her skirt, wetting the entire back seat.

The housekeeper only asked with concern: "Is Miss Bian okay?"

Bian Yue said: "It's okay."

The car stopped beside a small artificial pond. Bian Yue followed the housekeeper inside and passed through a small rockery eaves, which was the main building in the Jiangnan landscape style.

The housekeeper led Bian Yue into the Shen family's living room and then closed the door.

The lights in the hall were dim. Shen Jinci was sitting on the sofa, wearing a black shirt with the top button buttoned. He had a pure temperament and a charming appearance.

He is really good-looking. Not only are his facial features impeccable, but he also has a kind of deep and difficult to understand temperament that is inconsistent with his age. He is seductive even without saying a word.

Bian Yue thought of Xie Zhang’s description just now - complicated.

Shen Jinci is a complicated man.

As for Shen Jinci, he was wearing glasses today, and his demeanor became even colder. His eyes contained a calm scrutiny as he looked at Bian Yue who was standing uncomfortably in front of him.

Isn’t it coming?
Even faster than he expected.

The heating in the hall was turned on very high. Water was dripping from Bian Yue's hair. She looked so disheveled that her imposing manner was diminished the moment she came in.

Shen Jinci got straight to the point, calmly and calmly, "It's raining so hard, what do you want from me, Miss Bian?"

Bian Yue didn't beat around the bush and asked Shen Jinci if she could sit down and talk.

Shen Jinci said yes.

Bian Yue sat on the sofa, dripping wet. She clasped her hands subconsciously, thinking about what she had to say, and then slowly spoke, "I've read the news. Mr. Shen is currently surrounded by negative news. I guess it will have a great impact on the stock of Lixing Group, right?"

Shen Jinci remained calm, his slender fingers placed on the sofa, his fingertips lightly touching the dark satin, "So?"

Bian Yue wants to ask you if you really have a terminal illness as the newspaper said?

When the words came to my lips, I said politely, "Is Mr. Shen ill?"

Shen Jinci said calmly: "I guess so."

"In this case, it should be difficult for Mr. Shen to explain the rumors in the newspaper to the public. But I have a way. Not only can Mr. Shen get rid of the negative rumors, but he can also make the share price of Lixing Group reach the daily limit."

Shen Jinci didn't say anything, but signaled Bian Yue to continue with his eyes.

Bian Yue lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Shen Jinci. Her heart was beating like a drum, her hands were wet with sweat, and when the time came, she had no confidence at all.

She was like a warrior ready to die. She took a few deep breaths and finally spoke, but her voice was tense: "As long as Mr. Shen marries me."

The response was silence.

Bian Yue's heart felt like it was tied with a stone and was sinking in the water.

She secretly raised her eyes to look at Shen Jinci, who lowered his eyes and said nothing. His elegant face was like a floating shadow under the dim light, making it difficult to see clearly.
