Chapter 172 What else can I do?
She looked at Li Siheng in fear, held his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Li Siheng, I am your fiancée, you can't ignore me, you can't let me become the target of public criticism."

"I didn't make you the target of public criticism. As for you, all the paths you chose were your own. You could have just been Mrs. Li, but you insisted on dealing with Bian Yue." Li Siheng's handsome face was expressionless, without a trace of pity.

Bai Xu came in from outside, looked at the two people confronting each other, coughed, and said in a capable voice: "Miss Zhuang, Mr. Li wants to see you for something."

Zhuang Jie Ning almost fell down. She was still unwilling to believe that Li Siheng could be so heartless to her.

"Li Siheng, put yourself in my shoes. I am your fiancée. Are you really not going to help me in my current situation? Do you know how much risk I took to marry you?"

She spoke so eloquently and emotionally that if Li Siheng had not known the reason in advance, he would have been moved by Zhuang Jie Ning's hypocritical appearance.

"You know exactly why you agreed to marry me, Zhuang Jie Ning. You were forced to do it. You had no choice from the beginning. Why bother pretending that you did it for me?" Li Siheng stood up. He didn't want to waste time talking to Zhuang Jie Ning. He said coldly, "Let's go and see my father."

Zhuang Jie Ning was like a ghost, being led towards the office by Li Siheng with a distracted mind.

The moment I opened the door, a bone-chilling cold air hit me in the face.

I shivered and walked in slowly.

She saw Li Tingmo sitting on the sofa with an expressionless face, looking at her coldly, his eyes full of indifference.

"Uncle Li," Zhuang Jie Ning stood in front of Li Tingmo and whispered, "Are you looking for me about Xinghe?"

Li Siheng walked past the two of them and went to the desk nearby.

He seemed to be completely oblivious to the entanglement here and had already started looking through his own documents.

Zhuang Jie Ning couldn't understand how Li Siheng could be so indifferent. The gentleness and grace she had shown to Bian Yue before seemed more like a memory that had become confused because of the long time.

Li Tingmo stared at Zhuang Jiening for a long time without saying a word, and then he spoke coldly, "I'm looking for you not only for Xinghe's matter."

"What do you want to say?"

"Zhuang Jie Ning, you are so smart that you dug up the past between the Li and Bian families in order to make Bian Yue suffer. When you did these things, did you ever think about how much trouble your actions would cause to the Li family?"

"Uncle Li, I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't tell Bian Yue anything. She just guessed it herself." Zhuang Jie Ning's face turned pale, but she still spoke nonsense. "Did you hear some rumors and misunderstand me? I didn't say anything."

She spoke with such conviction that she sounded like an innocent person who had been wrongly accused.

Li Tingmo's expression did not fluctuate at all. "I am not telling you this to hear your defense, Zhuang Jie Ning. You know whether what I said is true or not. Also, recently, in order to suppress Bian Yue, you leaked the sample of "The Beauty of the Golden Age", which caused Bian Yue to attack the Li family. Now the lawyer's letter has been sent to the legal department of Fengcheng Group! Zhuang Jie Ning! Do you use your brain when you do things?"

As Li Tingmo spoke, his voice became heavier. Zhuang Jie Ning felt her legs go limp, as if she had lost her strength in an instant, and she fell to the ground.

Her face was pale, and she looked at Li Tingmo with fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Li, I just hate Bian Yue so much that I want to teach her a lesson! I didn't expect it would cause such a big impact!"

"What's the point of you saying this now? Shen Jinci has already stood up for Bian Yue. The Shen family would rather turn against the Li family than not protect Bian Yue. Everyone is waiting to laugh at me! To laugh at the Li family!" Li Tingmo suddenly stood up and walked in front of Zhuang Jie Ning. Zhuang Jie Ning's face was pale, and she had completely thrown away the demeanor of a rich lady. She looked up at Li Tingmo, her eyes filled with panic as if a disaster was about to happen.

"You are telling me this now, do you want me to go out and bear the wrath of Bian Yue and the Shen family?"

Zhuang Jie Ning's voice was difficult. She grabbed Li Tingmo's trouser legs in panic, her palms were sticky with sweat, "Uncle Li, you can't do this to me, I am Si Heng's fiancée!"

"If this matter can't be handled well, I think we should just call it quits on this engagement!" Li Tingmo looked at Zhuang Jie Ning without any hesitation, as if he was looking at a drowned dog. "The Li family doesn't need trash, let alone idiots!"

Li Siheng, who had been busy working, finally looked at the two of them at this moment.

He closed the file in a calm and relaxed manner, and said calmly: "I remember Lu Zhinian is your cousin."

Zhuang Jie Ning cried awkwardly and looked at Li Si Heng anxiously, "What do you want to say?"

"If we cancel the engagement with the Zhuang family now, it will not help the Li family at all, but Lu Zhinian..." Li Siheng paused and said, "If you can get him to meet with Bian Yue and say a few good words for you, Bian Yue may withdraw the lawsuit against the Li family for Lu Zhinian's sake."

Li Tingmo listened to Li Siheng's words, his anger subsided a little, and he regained his rationality. He said in a cold voice: "I remember that your family saved Lu Zhinian's parents. If it weren't for your parents, the Lu family would have had difficulty gaining a foothold in Hong Kong, let alone the current scale. It is indeed a good idea for you to ask Lu Zhinian for help."

Zhuang Jie Ning's brain was buzzing, but she actually had no confidence in her heart.

She and Lu Zhinian haven't seen each other for many years, and she doesn't even know what the other person looks like now.

Zhuang Jie Ning believed that her behavior had had some negative impact on Xinghe. Lu Zhinian had not attacked her until today, which was the most he could do. She really did not dare to hope that Lu Zhinian would speak for her.

"I" Zhuang Jie Ning was speechless. After a while, she said vaguely: "I don't know how to deal with it."

"Or cancel the engagement," Li Siheng interrupted Zhuang Jie Ning's defense, "You choose."

Zhuang Jie was stunned, then suddenly looked at Li Siheng, gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Li Siheng, are you helping Bian Yue to torment me?"

When Li Tingmo heard Zhuang Jie Ning's question, he frowned and looked at Li Siheng.

However, Li Siheng's pale face was sickly, and he showed a depressed smile. He said softly, "Yeah, what can you do?"

Zhuang Jie Ning's eyes widened, her face flushed, and she was speechless.

Bian Yue slept until noon. When she woke up, she saw the note left by Shen Jinci on her pillow.

He said, "I won't be back for lunch. Yueyue can go downstairs and have some soup when she wakes up."

Bian Yue read the note twice before carefully folding it and putting it aside.

She walked out of the bedroom and went down the winding stairs. When she passed the study, she subconsciously stopped.
