Chapter 322 Going their separate ways
Li Siheng's throat tightened. He smiled, but this time, the smile was more forced. "I thought that since I kidnapped Bian Yue, you would at least pursue me at all costs."

"It's meaningless." Shen Jinci said, "It's not that I don't want to deal with you. From my point of view, cutting you into pieces would not be enough to satisfy me, but I can't let Bian Yue get hurt again. Her body can't stand the repeated emotional fluctuations. Even if I want to settle the score later, I won't choose now."

"You really do think about Bian Yue in everything." The words became awkward at the end.

Shen Jinci's tone was calm, more like a statement: "Neither you nor I want anything to happen to Bian Yue's body, right?"

Li Siheng's smile just melted away in Shen Jinci's few words.

He closed his eyes, opened them again, and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything else now."

Li Siheng didn't expect Shen Jinci to respond, but after a moment of silence, the latter said calmly: "I know."

When Zhuang Jie Ning left, she didn't think about where to go. She was just fed up with the embarrassing atmosphere in the castle.

Seeing her so-called deceased husband and her beloved man caring for the woman she hated the most was more painful to her than letting herself die.

She drove the car aimlessly on a road that seemed to have no end. The vast expanse of white hurt her vision. She felt that the road under her feet was becoming more and more difficult for some reason, so she stepped on the accelerator even harder.

When passing by the abrupt bungalow, Zhuang Jie Ning stopped the car.

She looked at the house, and a voice told her that this was the house Li Siheng had prepared for Bian Yue.

Who would have thought?
In such an ordinary house, hundreds of billions of assets were transferred 24 hours ago.

What a huge ransom.

Li Siheng was really willing to give it away.

Zhuang Jie Ning stopped the car. She had mixed feelings. The moment she pushed the door open, she never thought there would be someone inside.

Li Tingmo was sitting in a simple hall with expensive wine on the table.

Li Tingmo was also stunned when he saw Zhuang Jie Ning, then he smiled and said, "Isn't this my daughter-in-law? Why, did you come here with Shen Jinci? Sit anywhere, I'm leaving soon."

Zhuang Jie Ning sat down expressionlessly. She took the wine on the table and poured herself a glass. "I did call you dad briefly. Now I am the only one drinking with you."

Li Tingmo sneered. He looked at Zhuang Jie Ning with a rather intriguing look and said slowly, "You are really good at flattering yourself. Zhuang Jie Ning, I want to ask you, as a winner, what do I need you to accompany me for? You are the only loser."

Zhuang Jie Ning's hand holding the wine glass shook, and the wine spilled out and poured onto the back of her hand.

She lowered her eyes, a strong reluctance flashed across her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think I lost?"

"if not?"

"I won." Zhuang Jie Ning suddenly laughed and retorted, "I am the winner."

After saying that, he drank the wine in his hand.

Li Tingmo's smile turned slightly cold. He said sarcastically, "You are really good at deceiving yourself."

"Why am I not a winner? I have completely gotten rid of everything in the past. I don't have any hope for the Li family, nor do I have any extravagant hopes for Shen Jinci. I have recognized that I am a loser, so I win." Zhuang Jiening smiled. She put the empty wine glass on the table, looked at the astonishment on Li Tingmo's face, and her smile deepened. "You have a lot of money now, you can return to Hong Kong and make a comeback, but in this life, you will never be able to get out of the shadow of Li Siheng. He is your son, but he will never forgive you. And you, you still have to use his wealth to realize your ambitions. Dad, you are the loser."

After Zhuang Jie Ning finished speaking, she stood up with a smile and left very quickly. There was the sound of bottles breaking behind her. Without any pause, she walked back into the vast snow scene.

Bai Xu had already arrived. He stood outside the door and saw Zhuang Jie Ning coming out. He walked towards her with a cold face.

"Miss Zhuang, come back with me."

"Go back?" Zhuang Jie Ning sneered, "Go back to see Bian Yue and Shen Jinci's love? Bai Xu, I don't want to stay there anymore. I want to return home now."

Bai Xu frowned, and patiently explained: "Ms. Zhuang, the current weather means that the plane cannot take off. If you insist on leaving, you can only take the air route. It will take more than ten days to return to Hong Kong, and your body cannot bear it."

"I'm not Bian Yue. I'm in good health. It's only been a dozen days. I can walk." Zhuang Jie Ning sneered. She said, "I've had enough! I don't want to stay there for even a minute!"

"Even if you are willing to take the sea route, there are no ships on the island right now. If you need it, I must send someone over, which will take at least two days." Bai Xu paused and said, "So you should go back with me first."

The anger on Zhuang Jie Ning's face was covered by powerlessness. She was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "I need it as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Miss Zhuang." Bai Xu said.

Zhuang Jie Ning walked back into the car with a cold face. Bai Xu stood there and saw Li Tingmo walking out of the house with unsteady steps. He looked dejected and looked at Bai Xu with a cold expression.

Bai Xu simply nodded calmly, then followed Zhuang Jie Ning's car and went back the way they came.

The food that Shen Jinci prepared for Bian Yue was very much to her liking. She ate a lot, and after she finished, she lay down on the rocking chair in the hall and fell asleep.

The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, and the firelight reflected on Bian Yue's face, giving off a sense of tranquility and peace.

Shen Jinci put down the collection of novels in his hand, which he had just read to Bian Yue.

He folded the corner of the last page he read, put it aside, and covered Bian Yue with a blanket.

Bian Yue was a little sleepy, probably because he didn't get enough sleep recently.

Li Siheng is not a person who is good at feeling guilty, and he rarely regrets what he does. But looking at Bian Yue like this, he somewhat regretted what he had done these days.

He used to be unwilling to admit that Shen Jinci could take good care of Bian Yue, far better than himself.

Once Li Siheng admitted this, it would be tantamount to admitting his own incompetence.

But now, Li Siheng accepted this calmly.

He was afraid of disturbing Bian Yue, so he spoke in a very low voice, "Is there any news about Zhuang Jie Ning?"

Shen Jinci's eyes were still on Bian Yue, and he said nonchalantly, "Bai Xu has brought her back. I have arranged a ship for her to take her away in two days."

As they were talking, Zhuang Jie Ning walked in from outside.

Her face was not very good. Her eyes passed from Bian Yue and landed accurately on Li Siheng. She said calmly: "Do you have time? I have something to say to you today."
