Chapter 36: Nightmare Reappears
The moment the light suddenly disappeared, Bian Yue felt her heart tighten and her voice suddenly disappeared.
She squatted on the ground, her chest felt heavy and her breathing became heavier.
The darkness around made Bian Yue feel as if she had returned to the Bian family that night - the night when both her parents died.
In the retro European-style hall, 16-year-old Bian Yue sat on the sofa, crying desperately. She wanted to shed all her tears, as if only in this way could she empty her soul and lose her sense of pain.
30 minutes ago, the lawyer came and announced the news of the death of the Bian couple, and read out the will in public. They left all their assets to Bian Yue.
The Bian family is one of the three most powerful families in Hong Kong. The Shen, Bian and Li families control absolute wealth and voice in Hong Kong.
And now, Bian Yue owns the entire Bian family.
"I am also very sad that my elder brother and sister-in-law died, but how can I leave all those things to Bian Yue? She is only 16 years old, what does she know!"
The person who spoke was Bian Liang, Bian Yue’s uncle.
Bian Yue used to like this uncle very much. He was well-read, knowledgeable, and he would skip classes to watch concerts with her when she was little.
He has always been so good to himself.
But now, he no longer looked like a good parent, his eyes were full of greed, he said: "Bian Yue, listen to your uncle, leave this money to him, and he will help you take good care of it, okay?"
Bian Yue was still rational. The grief did not turn her into a fool. She said, "No, no, I want to keep the money."
She was responded with a slap on the head.
"Shame on you! You are so greedy at such a young age!" Bian Liang was so angry that his face was hideous. He gritted his teeth and wanted to poke a hole in Bian Yue's body with his eyes. He said viciously: "You should die with your parents! You plague god!"
Bian Yue was beaten so hard that she fell on the sofa, unable to move, with stars in her eyes and feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit.
She possessed a wealth that was too coveted.
This wealth is enough to cause family members to turn against each other.
Bian Yue heard Bian Liang say to the bystanders who were also looking at her with disgust: "Children are ignorant and need to be taught properly. Someone, lock her up in the utility room and let her reflect on herself!"
The old housekeeper was old and had watched Bian Yue grow up. He could not help but stepped forward and knelt in front of Bian Liang: "The young lady is still young, Vice President Bian, please don't argue with her!"
In response to the old housekeeper, Bian Liang's increasingly cold and cruel voice said, "If you raise a disobedient dog, you will know who its master is and how to write the word obedient!"
So, Bian Yue was locked up in the utility room.
For 7 whole days, there was nothing except the most basic water and a little bit of stale food.
She nearly died in it.
And now, the nightmare is repeating itself.
Bian Yue curled up on the ground, the biting cold penetrated through the concrete floor and seeped into the cracks between her bones, bringing unbearable pain to her.
Bian Yue really wanted to shout for help, but the moment she opened her mouth, for some reason, she shouted "Shen Jinci".
Maybe it was because the man said to her before he left, "Remember to contact me if you have any problems at home", Bian Yue didn't dare to contact him, but at this moment, she was full of regret and thought that she should have contacted him more often.
After all the calculations, her life was so miserable. Now he seemed to be the only person she could trust.
Bian Yue's breathing became heavier, her eyelids felt very heavy, and her body's self-protection consciousness was pulling her into a dark nightmare.
Fengcheng Group, regular morning meeting.
The prince of the Li family had not attended court for a few days, and the elders in the group were ready to make a move. When they saw Li Siheng, who had not appeared for a few days, appear today, they were like eggplants hit by frost, and had no energy. Li Siheng had a gentle expression and smiled and said to everyone that they had worked hard.
"During this time when I was not in the group, my uncles and aunts helped me take care of it. It was really tiring."
The beautiful speeches are flawless. No matter how dissatisfied people are in their hearts, they have to put on a smile on the surface and say that it is what they should do because we are a family.
Until Bai Xu hurriedly pushed the door open and broke the false harmony in the room.
Bai Xu bent down and whispered something in Li Siheng's ear, and everyone saw that the prince, who had been keeping his eyes down and acting like a gentleman, suddenly changed his expression.
He didn't even say a word of explanation, he just stood up and strode out.
"Mr. Li, what's going on?" Someone asked uncertainly, "What's the emergency at home?"
"Is there something urgent at home?" Another director was obviously more aware of the fact that the relationship between the Li family father and son had reached a freezing point recently, so he sneered and said, "If there is something urgent at home, our prince is sitting more steadily now."
The person who got into trouble was Bian Yue.
When Li Siheng heard that Shi An An did not get on the plane, his first reaction was to call Bian Yue.
No one got through.
Maybach and Bentley passed each other in Fengcheng's underground garage.
Li Tingmo rolled down the window and smiled at the car belonging to Li Siheng, who had also stopped with good sense. "Why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"
So 10 minutes later, the father and son appeared in the same space.
Li Siheng's expression was tense. "What did you do?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? Li Siheng, what do you want to do?" Li Tingmo looked at Li Siheng coldly, with no affection in his eyes, only cold scrutiny. "What on earth have you been planning under my nose all these years?"
"I don't understand what you mean." Li Siheng frowned, his patience running out. "You asked Shi An'an to trip up Bian Yue, and I pretended not to see it and didn't question you at all. Why are you still not satisfied?"
"You want to send Shi An'an out of Hong Kong for such a small matter, and you still have the nerve to ask me why I am dissatisfied?" Li Tingmo's expression was completely cold. "Shi An'an was arranged by me. Even if you want to punish her, you have to go through me. What I hate most is you acting on your own!"
"Where is Bian Yue?" After a brief silence, Li Siheng looked at Li Tingmo coldly and repeated in a deep voice, "I just want to know where Bian Yue is now."
"I won't let you know." Li Tingmo sneered, cold and majestic, "You should all pay the price for your own cleverness!"
Li Siheng closed his eyes. He probably had guessed Li Tingmo's answer long ago. He sneered and suddenly said softly, "You are exactly the same as I expected."
Li Tingmo looked alert: "What do you mean?"
"It's okay if you don't want to tell me. I've already notified someone before I got on the bus."
Li Tingmo's expression became even uglier. He stared at Li Siheng and clenched his teeth: "Who?"
Li Siheng opened his eyes expressionlessly, calmly. He laughed at himself and said, "Who else could it be? Shen Jinci."
Li Tingmo's pupils gradually dilated. He was so shocked that he was stunned for a long time before he murmured, "Are you crazy?"
