Chapter 65: Abandoning Principles
Zhuang Jie Ning looked at Li Siheng thoughtfully.
"Actually, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."
"I'm not in the mood to answer your questions, sorry."
He is really polite and keeps people at a distance.
Zhuang Jie Ning stopped smiling and said seriously, "You should know that my father intends for me to marry you, right?"
"I know." Li Siheng said calmly, "But you are not the kind of person who would listen to the family's arrangements, otherwise you would not have gone abroad that year."
"Yes, I will not follow the family's arrangement, because I have my own life that I want to pursue, but Si Heng, how do you know that I don't want to marry you? It's just like I didn't know that you would reject my question so straightforwardly just now."
Zhuang Jie Ning chuckled after she finished speaking. Seeing that Li Siheng was finally willing to turn his head and look at her, she looked satisfied.
Li Siheng's expression turned cold. He pulled the corners of his lips slightly, and his smile turned cold. "What did you want to ask just now?"
"I just wanted to ask, why did you suddenly become cold towards Bian Yue a year ago?"
Zhuang Jie Ning stared at Li Si Heng and questioned, "Don't say you changed your mind. As a bystander, I can see clearly that you didn't want to cancel the engagement with Bian Yue because you changed your mind."
"Zhuang Jie Ning, have you ever heard a sentence?" There was no warmth in Li Siheng's voice anymore, and he asked in an almost calm and indifferent manner.
Zhuang Jie Ning's heart tightened, and she subconsciously clenched her hands. She was uneasy and her voice was tense: "What did you say?"
Li Siheng looked directly at Zhuang Jie Ning, whose eyes were filled with undisguised panic. Li Siheng spoke word by word, "Curiosity kills the cat."
When she was a girl, Zhuang Jie Ning had a crush on Li Si Heng.
Unlike her first impression of Shen Jinci, the name Li Siheng has always been familiar to Zhuang Jie Ning.
They had the opportunity to meet on countless occasions, and she also heard countless stories about Li Siheng from other classmates at Xiangjiang Girls' High School.
This is a person whose behavior is impeccable. He is too perfect, so perfect that he seems like a fake.
But Zhuang Jie Ning likes it, and this is also what she demands of herself, striving for perfection without the slightest deviation.
Until that day, when it rained heavily in Hong Kong, she saw Li Siheng holding an umbrella and standing in the playground with Bian Yue, who had skipped classes several times, as punishment.
He was already very busy at Fengcheng Group, yet he still found time to accompany a girl in the playground in the rain.
Abandon your principles and become a madman.
Zhuang Jie Ning saw that half of Li Siheng's shoulder was wet by the rain, but his umbrella completely covered Bian Yue from beginning to end.
Zhuang Jie Ning often uses this umbrella to compare the relationship between Li Siheng and Bian Yue - Li Siheng would rather get wet in the rain than let Bian Yue be safe.
To some extent, Zhuang Jie Ning and Li Siheng are the same kind of people. She knows how rare it is for Li Siheng to be so partial to him that he would rather harm his own interests.
Because they are all people who desperately want to hold on to power and influence in the family.
It was precisely because of this that Zhuang Jie Ning quickly suppressed her unspeakable girlish feelings.
Zhuang Jie Ning didn't think that Li Siheng could do this for anyone other than Bian Yue.
So now, the most confusing question for Zhuang Jie Ning is how could a person like Li Siheng suddenly change his temperament and stop loving Bian Yue.
"I want to know the truth, and I want you to tell me, Li Siheng, that I am willing to reject the marriage for you." Zhuang Jie Ning smiled, her expression frank: "Because, I don't want to marry someone I don't love."
Inside the car, the atmosphere was dead silent.
Li Siheng pulled down the tailgate and sat in the passenger seat. Bai Xu turned his head in confusion and looked at Li Siheng.
"Master, what's the matter?"
"Pull over."
Bai Xu was startled and subconsciously looked at Zhuang Jie Ning whose expression had changed.
"This is the highway intersection. Miss Zhuang needs to stop here." "Stop the car." Zhuang Jie Ning calmly fixed her hair and smiled at Bai Xu. "I'll get off here. Assistant Bai, please pull over."
The car stopped and Zhuang Jie Ning walked into the rain without any hesitation.
Li Siheng lowered his eyebrows and didn't even look at him.
Bai Xu stood by the car, hesitantly chased after her, and handed the umbrella to Zhuang Jie Ning: "Miss Zhuang, it's raining, you still have to take care of yourself."
Zhuang Jie Ning stopped and looked at the Maybach not far away with a sneer.
Li Siheng's figure was obscured and could not be seen clearly.
"Your young master probably wishes I would die on this road today, so that he can be satisfied."
Bai Xu was shocked. Zhuang Jie Ning, who was always gentle and generous, would say such a thing. It was obvious that they had a really bad conversation just now.
Zhuang Jie Ning took Bai Xu's umbrella, opened it, and walked away
When Bian Yue returned to the Shen family manor, the housekeeper had already prepared the meal.
Bian Yue was surprised and said softly, "I've already eaten outside."
"The master said that you were out for a social event and probably didn't eat well, so he asked me to prepare food for you." The housekeeper said in a soft voice, smiling, "The kitchen has prepared porridge, would you like some, madam?"
Bian Yue felt a warm feeling in her heart. She couldn't describe the feeling, but it was just that it felt good to have someone thinking about her after get off work.
Bian Yue took a photo of Shen Jinci while drinking porridge.
The scallop and shrimp porridge is stewed very thickly.
Bian Yue typed the next line and sent it.
----tasty.
This was the first message that Bian Yue sent after Shen Jinci went abroad.
Shen Jinci was probably busy. After 10 minutes, he replied, "That's good."
Bian Yue raised an eyebrow, typed a line of words, and asked Shen Jinci what time it was now when he was abroad.
"During the day, there are people selling ice cream on the roadside, and it looks delicious."
Bian Yue was surprised and asked him if he still had time to wander around.
When Shen Jinci received this message, he was sitting in a business car. The video conference was in full swing. The communication in English was smooth throughout, and he always hit the point every time he spoke.
No one thought that he was sending messages to the same month.
Until this moment, the man rolled down the window and told the driver to stop.
He took out his cell phone, took some careful photos, and sent them to Bian Yue before instructing the driver to continue on to the exhibition.
The shareholders there just thought that Mr. Shen’s network was not good and he lost contact temporarily.
Shen Jinci sent the photo to Bian Yue and said, "Yes, I'm wandering outside. If you want anything, I'll bring it back to you."
Bian Yue was a little dazed for a moment.
In my memory, only my father would ask me seriously if there was anything I wanted and he would bring it back to me.
So Bian Yue held the phone in a daze for a while, and said inexplicably: "Then when you are resting, let's video chat. I want to see the night view of Country M, and by the way, talk to you about what I want."
Shen Jinci agreed.
At 10 o'clock the next morning, Bian Yue received a video call from Shen Jinci.
The man stood in front of the French window, with a large area of bright lights behind him illuminating the bustling city that never sleeps.
He looked at her, his brows indifferent and his smile gentle, "Good morning, Yueyue."
