Chapter 27 A Chess Piece

"Father's intention is to turn against Shen Jinci to see who is more stubborn?"

Li Siheng's voice became colder and colder, with deep disdain, "Father should know very well how stupid it is to confront Shen Jinci head-on!"

"I will find a way to deal with this matter, you don't need to worry about it!" Li Tingmo strode towards Li Siheng, his gentle face filled with anger and ferocity.

He was already old, and facing the unshakable Shen Jinci, he couldn't help but worry about the future of the Li family, so he said in a cold voice: "I am increasingly unable to understand you! Li Siheng, what on earth are you thinking? Did you ever think that you would fall out with Bian Yue until today?"

"My position and right to speak do not need to be consolidated by a woman's inheritance!" Li Siheng said indifferently, "I have never had any feelings for Bian Yue from the beginning. If you and mother had not insisted that I get along with Bian Yue, there would be no intersection between us!"

The atmosphere was tense and pressing.

Li Tingmo looked at Li Siheng angrily, his chest rising and falling sharply, and growled: "Li Siheng! You really disappoint me!"

Shi Anan listened in a daze to the conversation between the father and son, and read the secret of the wealthy family from them, which made her feel cold in her heart.

She looked at Li Siheng and Li Tingmo with an uneasy look in her eyes, and at that moment, she understood something.

——The rumored high and mighty little princess of the Li family, Bian Yue, is, after all, nothing more than a chess piece.

She was immersed in fear, but when she saw Li Tingmo looking at her coldly, her fear became even greater.

"Get lost." Li Tingmo's eyes were cold.

Shi Anan staggered away, not even having time to wait for Li Siheng to walk out of the study.

The long corridor is dimly lit, with luxurious retro European-style decorations, giving off a dull and depressing feeling.

Shi Anan's chest heaved violently. She stood blankly in the aisle. When she saw Li Siheng coming out with an expressionless face, she walked towards him nervously.

"Ah Heng." Shi Anan trembled and carefully grasped his sleeve, "I didn't know your situation in the Li family was so difficult. I shouldn't have gone to find Bian Yue today."

Before she finished her words, Li Siheng had already pinched her chin.

The man's eyes were calm, but there was an unfathomable haze in them. He looked at Shi An'an with a dull expression. After a while, he said indifferently: "If you want to stay in the Li family, I will remind you in advance not to provoke Bian Yue. Shi An'an, I am already annoying enough."

Shi Anan only took these words as Li Siheng's life being unbearable.

For so many years, he must be disgusted by having to fawn over a woman he doesn't love!
No wonder Li Siheng was unwilling to even touch Bian Yue. It must be because he hated her so much that he was so repulsive!
Shi Anan felt a twisted joy in her heart.

It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t love me, as long as he hates Bian Yue, I have already won!

"Ah Heng, don't worry, I will never look for Bian Yue again. I will stay with you and you can do whatever you want."

Shi Anan forced a smile, revealing her gentle virtue.

But before she could finish her words, Li Siheng had already broken free from her wrist and walked straight into the depths of the corridor.

Shi Anan stood there, just looking at Li Siheng's back, her smile gradually widening.
When Bian Yue got home from the drinking party, the wine sent by Bai Wenting arrived almost at the same time.

The person who brought the wine was Bai Wenting's father Bai Yue.

The man has gray hair on his temples but still looks vigorous. It can be seen that he must have been a very handsome man when he was young and a big shot in the business world.

The Bai family owns tens of thousands of acres of vineyards abroad, has established a high-end red wine brand that is internationally renowned, and has invested in real estate in Hong Kong, with huge assets.

At this time, Bai Yue respectfully held Shen Jinci's hand and said with a smile: "I have wanted to meet Mr. Shen for a long time, but unfortunately Mr. Shen has been abroad and there is no chance to meet."

Shen Jinci looked at Bian Yue beside him calmly, then said in a light and casual tone, "Boss Bai's daughter is a friend of my wife. We will naturally have many opportunities to meet in the future."

Bian Yue was inevitably surprised. Bai Yue was waiting for Shen Jinci to say this, and immediately smiled and said that they must see each other often in the future. If Mr. Shen doesn't mind, can we meet at Lixing Group later?
Coming to the manor is a private matter, but if it were in Lixing, it would be a public business.

Bian Yue had heard so many rumors about Shen Jinci, so how could she not know that the man was ruthless and definitely not the kind of person who acts on emotion?

But the next moment, Shen Jinci said: "President Bai can arrange a time with Kang Yu then."

Bian Yue was so shocked by these words that she couldn't recover for a long time.

After Bai Yue left, Bian Yue asked curiously, "Shen Jinci, why did you agree to Bai Yue so easily?"

Shen Jinci glanced at the gloomy sky nonchalantly. There were thin and cool raindrops falling. He whispered, "It's raining. Let's go in first."

The housekeeper and Kang Yu were sorting out the mountain of expensive red wine nearby. Shen Jinci held an umbrella for Bian Yue, and the two walked back.

The rain was getting heavier on the road, and when they arrived at the hall, Bian Yue realized that the shoulders of Shen Jinci's suit were soaked.

She frowned in surprise and forgot to ask what happened just now. She just said, "Your clothes are wet, go change them."

"Bian Yue," Shen Jinci called her name, his eyes becoming very focused without him noticing when. He said, "I agreed to Bai Yue because I wanted them to know that Mrs. Shen's opinion is my opinion."

Bian Yue's heart tightened and she stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

She pinched her fingers into her flesh and was still formulating her words when Shen Jinci had already started walking upstairs.

He didn't want to get any answer from Bian Yue, he said this just to let her know.

Bian Yue stood where she was, confirming Shen Jinci's words again and again in her mind before she dared to read any favoritism in them.

Is he favoring himself?

but
But why?

This favoritism is unjustified.

Bian Yue didn't even know where Shen Jinci's indulgence towards her came from.

Will anyone who becomes Mrs. Shen receive such favoritism?
Bian Yue thought so in her heart.

But soon, someone gave an explanation for her guess.

The night was hazy and drizzling, and Young Master Xie Zhang finally found some time to come to the Shen family manor.

Xie Zhang took a sip of the red tea, sighed that the tea color was good, then smiled and looked at Bian Yue in front of him.

He said, "Bian Yue, Jin Ci is an indifferent person who doesn't care about anything, but if I'm right, he noticed you two years ago."

Bian Yue didn't have a good face towards Xie Zhang. After all, the two of them had always been at loggerheads over that ill-fated beauty.

But at this moment, Bian Yue put down the thorns all over her body and asked in surprise: "He noticed me two years ago?"

"Is it necessary to be so surprised?" Xie Zhang put down his teacup and asked Bian Yue, "Did Jin Ci go to the study to write the invitations?"

Bian Yue said yes.

Xie Zhang smiled and leaned back on the sofa, joking to Bian Yue: "Bian Yue, promise me that you won't always roll your eyes and curse at me, and I will tell you what happened two years ago."

Bian Yue frowned, her almond-shaped eyes showing ferocity, and she threatened in a low voice: "Go burn charcoal and commit suicide, you loser! If you don't tell me, I will roll my eyes and curse at you right now!"
