Chapter 54 Kiss me
"You are my wife, and it is my duty to treat you well."
Shen Jinci spoke in a lazy tone, with a hint of smile: "Yueyue, if you are really moved, just kiss me."
What kind of hooligan talk is this?
Bian Yue pushed Shen Jinci away with a red face and stood up: "No! Stop dreaming!"
After saying that, he ran upstairs without looking back.
Shen Jinci looked at Bian Yue's jumping figure and felt relieved.
It should be much better that I can still chat with myself.
The night is destined to be long and everyone is busy.
Wan Chai is full of restaurants and bars, with bright lights decorating the dim night. Even in this rainy season, there are still crowds of people.
The topic of conversation tonight is how the wife of the boss of Lixing Group relied on her noble status to force the rising star Shi Anan in the entertainment industry to death.
No one cares whether it is true or not, the topic itself is explosive enough.
The fermentation of public opinion can mostly be influenced by the powerful, but when it reaches a certain level and forms a storm, there is nothing you can do even if you are the president again.
The next day, Bian Yue received a call from Li Tingmo, who urged her in a deep voice to go back to the Li family and explain to everyone.
"Bian Yue, everyone knows that you are the adopted daughter of the Li family. This matter is not only related to the reputation of Lixing, but the Li family is also involved. This matter was caused by you, and you should give an explanation to the Li family!"
Li Tingmo spoke earnestly, as if teaching seriously: "After all, you are not a child anymore, you should be responsible for your own actions."
Bian Yue had just woken up and was dizzy from these words. She pinched her eyes and asked patiently, "So what does uncle want from me? Issue a statement to sever ties with the Li family?"
"Why would I think so? I just hope that you can come back and give everyone an explanation. Bian Yue, your auntie hit you last time and you have been feeling bad about it. Come here so that your auntie can apologize to you in person."
Ultimately, I hope Bian Yue can go back.
Bian Yue carefully looked through the account books of the Bian Group yesterday, and now he has some questions he wants to ask.
It is indeed not the time to tear each other apart now. It is better to maintain harmony and make money.
She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll come back."
Li Tingmo said with a smile, like a loving parent, "Okay, then your auntie and I will wait for you to come back."
Before leaving, Bian Yue sent a message to Shen Jinci, saying that she was going back to the Li family.
At that time, Shen Jinci was in a meeting listening to the public relations plan. Bian Yue's message popped up, and he picked up the phone and replied seriously, "Okay, I'll pick you up after the meeting."
The PR from the PR department was shocked and thought to himself that he had never seen Mr. Shen playing with his phone during a meeting.
After sending the message, Bian Yue went to Li's house.
When Bian Yue married Shen Jinci, Li Tingmo came, but Bian Yue had never seen him.
She went back to rest early that day, so strictly speaking, Bian Yue had not seen Li Tingmo and his wife since the farce in the ancestral hall.
Stepping into the Li family's hall again felt like a lifetime ago.
There are also good memories between them. The love and care they once had are a faint warmth in the desperate situation of Bian Yue's life.
So even though she was unhappy in her heart, when she really saw Li Tingmo and Tang Yuwei, Bian Yue still couldn't really harden her heart and forget about their old friendship.
Bian Yue walked into the hall and called people in a polite manner.
"Uncle, auntie."
Tang Yuwei and Li Tingmo stood up and walked towards Bian Yue. Tang Yuwei seemed to have cried for a long time before Bian Yue came. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was sad. She said, "Bian Yue, you are finally here. I thought you didn't want to see me anymore."
"Auntie, I didn't." Bian Yue lowered her eyes and said calmly.
Tang Yuwei had tears in her eyes and touched Bian Yue's face with a heartache. "I don't know what happened to me last time. I actually hit you. Bian Yue, don't blame Auntie. In her heart, Auntie has always regarded you as a family member."
These words were so touching, but Bian Yue felt no ripples in her heart.
She couldn't help but think of the way Shen Jinci spoke to her last night.
It seems that only then will one care more about his family.
"Don't stand and talk, sit down first." Li Tingmo said, "Bian Yue, what do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it."
Bian Yue followed Tang Yuwei's lead and sat down on the sofa.
She said, "No need, Jin Ci will come to pick me up and take me home, so I won't eat here."
Li Tingmo and Tang Yuwei looked at each other.
Li Tingmo's expression was a little awkward. He smiled lightly and said, "Is this... Is there something going on? If it's not urgent, can Mr. Shen stay and have a simple meal?"
"He doesn't like to eat out. Uncle came to me to ask me about Shi An'an, right? Let's just talk about the facts."
Bian Yue said gently: "Uncle, what do you want to ask?"
"Bian Yue, uncle wants to know why you went to see Shi Anan alone?"
If Shi Anan hadn't given Bian Yue some reason that she couldn't refuse, Bian Yue would never have made this trip.
Bian Yue said: "Shi Anan gave me something."
"Is it the account book?" Li Tingmo already knew about it.
In this case, Bian Yue also made it clear, "Just as Uncle thought, it is the asset liquidation account of the Bian Group."
Li Tingmo's expression was obviously tense for a moment, and Tang Yuwei also looked surprised.
But soon, Li Tingmo regained his composure and slowly probed: "How could Shi Anan have this thing? I remember that there was an internal conflict when the assets of the Bian Group were liquidated, and everything was gone. Maybe this account is fake?"
"I've carefully read it, it's true. Uncle is right, everything is gone, so I'm also curious, why is this account book in the Li family?"
Bian Yue looked at Li Tingmo with a smile that did not reach her eyes.
There was a moment of dead silence.
"Bian Yue, do you think that the bankruptcy of the Bian Group is related to the Li family? How is this possible? If so, why would I adopt you?"
Li Tingmo's expression was sad. "Your father and I are close friends. I have always treated you as my daughter. How could I have bad intentions towards you?"
It's sincere and touching.
Bian Yue almost believed it.
She looked at Li Tingmo calmly, "There are many things that I didn't dare to believe before, but now that I've grown up, the more I think about it, the more I feel that I can't help but believe it. Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain it."
The atmosphere was tense and Li Tingmo's expression had become extremely ugly.
The housekeeper walked in at the right time and said nervously, "Master, the representatives of the Li family's side branches are here."
Li Tingmo sighed and stood up. He looked at Bian Yue helplessly, looking embarrassed. "Bian Yue, come with me. Some things should be said face to face."
This was the backup plan waiting for him. As for the whole family sitting down to have a peaceful meal, Li Tingmo was afraid that he had never even thought about it.
Ten minutes later, in the Li family ancestral hall, a group of middle-aged men had stern expressions. They looked at Bian Yue who walked in calmly, and all of them showed anger.
