Chapter 221 The Most Painful
In Shen Jinci's memory, this was the time when Bian Yue experienced her most emotional breakdown.
She was almost broken and could no longer withstand any stimulation.
Shen Jinci knew that she was still drunk and it was not the right time to explain everything.
He just frowned at her and tried to hold her in his arms, but she resisted violently and kept crying.
She was really heartbroken, crying and vomiting in her arms. She said, "Shen Jinci, you are so terrible. How could you watch me fall in love with you and not tell me anything?"
Shen Jinci wiped the wine stains from the corners of her lips, and without saying a word, let her lean on his arms, ignoring the mess on the floor.
When the car stopped at the Shen family manor, the driver opened the door and was shocked by the scene in the back seat.
The driver watched Mr. Shen, who always had a mysophobia, holding Bian Yue. His body was full of the pungent smell of alcohol, but he seemed unconscious. He just held Bian Yue, who had fallen asleep from crying herself tired, and patted her back gently.
"Mr. Shen," the driver asked in surprise.
Shen Jinci looked at him and interrupted softly, "Madam is drunk and can't be exposed to the wind. Ask someone to bring out a blanket."
"Okay!" the driver said hurriedly. Before leaving, he looked at Shen Jinci with fear and hesitation.
Bian Yue was carried upstairs by Shen Jinci.
When he put the drunk girl on the bed, he realized the pain in his neck and understood why the driver was hesitant to speak.
Shen Jinci calmly raised his hand and touched it, and felt blood on his hand.
Just now, Bian Yue was still drunk and his movements were not careful. He might have accidentally bumped into me when they had a conflict.
Shen Jinci didn't have time to deal with it because Bian Yue was talking in her sleep and whispered that she was thirsty.
"Are you thirsty? I'll get you some water." Shen Jinci said softly.
Bian Yue did not respond between waking up from a dream.
Shen Jinci came back with some water and fed it to Bian Yue, who then fell asleep peacefully.
By the time Shen Jinci had dealt with Bian Yue, it was already late at night.
He had not had time to deal with the mess on his body. He just changed his clothes and went downstairs to meet Shen Zhaoli who had been waiting for a long time.
In the study, Shen Zhaoli saw Shen Jinci coming in and asked with concern: "How is it? Did Bian Yue sleep?"
Shen Jinci nodded.
Shen Zhaoli's expression changed, and he pointed at Shen Jinci's neck, and said nervously, "Why don't you deal with it?"
The bloodstains on Shen Jinci's neck were shocking, and the blood had not yet coagulated.
Shen Jinci calmly took the medical kit and said, "It's just a minor wound, nothing serious."
"I think you are crazy too. Tell me the truth. Why did Bian Yue take the risk and sign a bet with Li Xing? Even if she wanted a chance to cooperate, there was no need for her to be so angry, right?"
Shen Zhaoli walked to Shen Jinci's side, looked at the man who was treating his wound with an expressionless face, and walked back and forth anxiously, "Hurry up and say something!"
"You're quite noisy." Shen Jinci peeled off the bloody gauze, applied hemostatic medicine, and said calmly, "I will soothe Bian Yue's sadness." "How are you going to soothe her?" Shen Zhaoli took a deep breath, frowned, and said, "Shen Jinci, you can't be too self-righteous. People's hearts cannot be controlled, and neither can Bian Yue."
"She just wants to know the truth. When she wakes up, I will tell her everything."
Shen Zhaoli was stunned, "What did Bian Yue know?"
"She felt that Li Xing was also involved in the incident with the Bian family, so she made an extreme decision under the influence of her emotions at this meeting." Shen Jinci paused, his voice became tense and very soft, "She can't stand betrayal now."
Shen Zhaoli was somewhat prepared for the truth behind the incident, but now, when he heard Shen Jinci say this, he was still stunned, "It wasn't you? But at that time, you were already in the process of taking over Lixing, and the incident at the Bian family caused a sensation. Didn't you know?"
"This matter has nothing to do with me. I will explain it to Bian Yue." Shen Jinci frowned and lowered his eyes to hide the obscure emotions in his eyes.
Shen Zhaoli shook his head slowly with a complicated expression, "Brother, even I don't believe what you said, do you think Bian Yue can believe it? And how can she accept that you, as her husband, are involved in her most painful past? I am Bian Yue, and it is difficult for me to forgive you."
Shen Jinci did not answer. He looked at the blood-stained gauze in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
When Bian Yue woke up, there was no one beside her.
She blinked slowly and the cell phone beside her rang.
Bian Yue answered the call belatedly and heard Bian Shu's voice, which was filled with fear, "Bian Yue, come quickly, An Shen is here to see me."
Bian Yue had a splitting headache, the effect of the alcohol had not completely worn off yet. She pinched her forehead, turned back the quilt, got up from the bed, and nervously reminded, "Sister, don't be afraid, I'm coming to find you now."
"Come quickly, Bian Yue, An Shen really came to see me, he is right at the door, I am so scared." Bian Shu's voice was sensitive and neurotically thin.
Bian Yue didn't have time to think about it and got up and went out.
In the past, Shen Jinci always walked this road with her, but now, Bian Yue was walking on this road alone, and a similar feeling of despair was spreading.
In fact, she didn't blame Shen Jinci for his neutral attitude, nor did she mind that he carefully considered the interests of Li Xing. Sitting in his position, he had sufficient reasons to support any decision he made.
But Bian Yue couldn't accept that Shen Jinci had hidden it from her and had actually attacked the Bian family.
No one knew how desperate she was when she looked at the evidence Lu Zhinian handed to her.
Things that Bian Yue had never imagined appeared before her in such a bloody way.
The Li family was like this, as was Shen Jinci. Even the latter already had almost all the decision-making power in Lixing at that time.
Everyone was a bystander of that tragedy. Bian Yue understood that Shen Jinci did not know her at that time and should not make any concessions for her.
But now, she was his wife, but he refused to tell her the truth. Bian Yue felt disappointed and cold in her heart.
She walked in the quiet night, step by step, without looking back.
Bian Shu was squatting in the corner of the room, her eyes full of fear. When she saw Bian Yue coming in, she widened her eyes and looked behind her tremblingly.
Bian Yue frowned and walked towards her, whispering to comfort her: "Sister, I'm here."
"Bian Yue, didn't you see?" Bian Shu looked at Bian Yue who was walking in front of her, pulled her hand, and saw her squatting in front of her, then whispered: "An Shen. An Shen is behind you."
"Sister, there is no one behind me." Bian Yue pressed the light button beside her, and the room instantly became exceptionally bright.
Bian Yue pointed behind herself and said seriously, "Look, there's really no one there?"
"But, I saw An Shen and your parents, they were all there," Bian Shu said nervously.
