Chapter 20: The Sorrow and Sorrow
She was about to cover her ears when Shen Jinci came from behind her and hugged her tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The tears that Bian Yue had been holding back finally fell.

She cried in Shen Jinci's arms until she choked, and her tears fell drop by drop on the back of his hand.

"It's all lies." Bian Yue's teeth were trembling. "They said they adopted me out of sympathy for me, but they actually just wanted my inheritance! I'm so stupid! Why did I believe it at that time!"

Shen Jinci hugged her tighter. His voice was gentle, completely different from when he was talking to Li Tingmo just now. He said, "It's late now. How about going to bed first?"

Bian Yue didn't respond. She suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself hard on the face, "I'm so stupid! I'm just a fool!"

Shen Jinci's face changed. He pulled Bian Yue's shoulder and asked her to look at him. He saw that the little girl's face was full of tears and there were clear marks of the slap on her face.

"Bian Yue!"

"I am such an idiot! I should have jumped into the high seas to feed the fish after my parents died! I should have avoided becoming a laughing stock to the whole of Hong Kong! For so many years! Six years! I have been in the Li family for six years. Do they really treat me as a family member?"

Bian Yue's tears flowed like a string, and she cried as she said, "Everyone says that I am the little princess of the Li family, but Li Siheng said in person that I am a burden to him!"

Shen Jinci couldn't control his heartache after all and held her in his arms.

She was only in her early 20s, and life had been full of ups and downs. She had nowhere else to turn and found herself, not knowing that every step she took was also within her own calculation.

Shen Jinci's conscience sprouted. He patted her back gently, soothing her tenderly and tenderly. He said, "Bian Yue, it's all over. From now on, I will take good care of you until I die."

At this sad moment, Bian Yue was touched by Shen Jinci's comfort, but at the same time she thought that he didn't have much time left, so she felt even sadder.

She said, Shen Jinci, why don’t I go to the temple to burn incense for you and wish you a long life.

She added, forget it, these are all lies. I might as well help you deal with the public relations crisis of Lixing Group and save you a lot of trouble.

Shen Jinci agreed.

Shen Jinci agreed with everything she said.

Bian Yue didn't know when she got tired and fell into a deep sleep, still pulling at the corner of Shen Jinci's clothes and refusing to let go.

The rain was so heavy that if a sailboat was really tossed in the sea, it would have capsized countless times.

But someone was lighting a light at the port, waiting for her to return home, so she could sleep peacefully on such a cold and cruel rainy night.

Shen Jinci just looked at the woman in his arms who had fallen into a sweet dream. His heart was full of tenderness. As he looked at her face, his mind was filled with thoughts.

The man wiped away the tears on her face with his slender fingers. Only at this moment did his eyes, which were indifferent to all living things, dare to show their attachment. He said in a voice so soft that it was almost a whisper: "Princess Moon, I finally waited for you to come to my side."

Finally, I have made the journey for you worthwhile, despite all the ups and downs, sorrows and bitterness.

All the greed, anger and delusion in the past can actually become a fairy tale before our eyes.
Li Tingmo strode out of the study and headed straight for Li Siheng's bedroom. Tang Yuwei was followed by a subordinate who was serving porridge and snacks. Just as she was about to deliver food to Li Siheng, she saw Li Tingmo, who looked murderous, as soon as she opened the door.

So the couple met in front of Li Siheng's bedroom.

Tang Yuwei noticed that Li Tingmo looked unhappy and stopped the man who was about to go in.

"What are you doing!" Tang Yuwei looked at Li Tingmo nervously, unable to hide her complaints, "Li Tingmo! For so many years, I listened to you no matter what you did, but this time you really went too far! Do you know that your son has been seriously ill for several days because of that whip you gave him? He just woke up today!"

"Is it because of my whip? He has something to hide! He forced Bian Yue to leave for the sake of other girls out there. He is totally out of his mind! The inheritance of the Bian family! Originally, as long as they got married, it would be in the pocket of our Li family! This kid doesn't know what he is doing!"

Tang Yuwei was furious when she heard this. She frowned and said coldly, "What do you want? Just because Bian Yue refused to marry Si Heng, you are going to force Si Heng to death! If Bian Yue refuses to give up the Bian family's inheritance, can we do nothing to her, a helpless woman?"

"At worst, we can kill her with some tricks, and the Bian family's inheritance will still be ours!" Tang Yuwei said coldly, "If we hadn't saved Bian Yue back then, she would have been eaten alive by those people in the Bian family! Now she owes us this life!"

"Enough!" Li Siheng stood at the door of the bedroom without knowing when. His gentle face was pale and he looked as weak as a ghost. His bloodless fingers were clasped on the door. He looked at Tang Yuwei with bloodshot eyes, "Mom, does our Li family have to have that inheritance? Give me another five years, and I can earn the Bian family's inheritance for you! Not a penny less!"

"Si Heng, you're still sick, why bother talking so much!" Tang Yuwei felt sorry for her son, and quickly supported his arm, saying softly, "Don't worry about these things, your father and I know what to do!"

Li Siheng shook off Tang Yuwei's hand, his expression was cold, "Since Bian Yue is gone, let her go! I don't love her anymore, why did you let me marry her!"

"You can't marry her now even if you want to." Li Tingmo sneered, his expression tinged with mockery, "Bian Yue now is not something our Li family can control!"

"What do you mean?" Tang Yuwei was stunned.

Li Siheng remained silent, but there was doubt in his eyes.

Li Tingmo has not been in a smooth breath since he started in the study. He sneered and said in a deep voice: "Shen Jinci wants to marry Bian Yue!"

"How is this possible?" Tang Yuwei's voice stopped abruptly, obviously thinking of a few days ago when Shen Jinci took Bian Yue away in front of them.

Did they have an affair at that time?
"Li Siheng, do you think you're the only one who would cheat? Bian Yue is more capable than you! Shen Jinci has only been back for a few days, and she was able to get Shen Jinci to say he would marry her in such a short time!"

Li Tingmo sneered. She paused and looked at Tang Yuwei, "And you, do you want to kill the wife of the Shen family's Patriarch? How many lives do you have to satisfy Shen Jinci's anger?"

"But didn't I see the headlines in Hong Kong saying that Shen Jinci is seriously ill?" Tang Yuwei was stunned, "Why would he want to marry Bian Yue at this critical moment!"

Li Siheng didn't say anything, but his face looked even paler than before. The veins on the back of his hands bulged from the force he exerted on the door frame.

"This kind of news is nothing but hearsay. Shen Jinci hasn't been back to China for two years. As soon as he returned, he immediately seized power and used authoritarian methods. Many people in the Shen family have complaints. Maybe someone is looking for death and wants to plot against him!"

Li Tingmo's words made Tang Yuwei even more frightened.

Tang Yuwei asked tentatively, "How do you know that the person who plotted against him is seeking death? Isn't it Shen Jinci who has fallen into the trap and is about to die?"
