Chapter 83 He Has No Choice
Li Siheng felt a sharp pain in his heart, and a deep redness spread in his eyes. "I said, no one is allowed to enter that room!"
Li Siheng still ordered someone to call Su Youxue over at night. The latter was obviously overjoyed. She stood timidly in front of him with bright eyes.
In the quiet room, Li Siheng looked at the expectation in Su Youxue's eyes, and his heart seemed to be stabbed by something, bleeding.
He tightened his grip on the wine glass and said in a hoarse voice, "Come here."
Su Youxue walked up to him obediently and squatted down.
She rested her head on his legs, in a very soft and affectionate posture, and even her expression was just the right amount of flattery without being overly exaggerated.
She said, "Mr. Li, why did you suddenly ask me to come here today?"
Li Siheng didn't think much about it, he just suddenly wanted to look into Bian Yue's eyes.
So he said, "Look up and look at me."
Although Su Youxue was confused, she still did as she was told.
As Li Siheng stared at the pair of similar eyes, an indescribable bitterness began to spread in his chest.
The rift in his relationship with Bian Yue was not something Li Siheng had planned at first.
The biggest wish of 18-year-old Li Siheng is to take good care of the girl named Bian Yue whom he brought home.
At the age of 19, Li Siheng began to take over some of Fengcheng's projects from Li Tingmo. At that time, his biggest wish was to become the youngest helmsman of Fengcheng and take good care of Bian Yue.
At the age of 20, Li Siheng has just established himself in Fengcheng. He has lived a wonderful life according to the expectations of his parents. Everyone says that Mr. Li has become famous at a young age and is young and promising. His ambition begins to expand. He wants to marry Bian Yue and bring her home to accompany him to the top.
At the age of 21, Li Siheng began to discover that the best drug in the world is actually looking down on the world from a high position. This feeling is so wonderful that he began to touch the top positions, standing on the top of all living beings, in the world of luxury and debauchery, and the flowers are gradually dazzling. For a young master who has lived a life of luxury, the moment of truly holding power is so wonderful.
He still loves Bian Yue, but the deviation of human nature always makes them walk in the wrong direction for many years.
His life was filled with Feng Cheng, becoming more and more full.
He wants to marry Bian Yue, but he also wants to become the youngest controller of a top chaebol family.
Later, 22-year-old Li Siheng stood in the study, watching Li Tingmo throw a thick stack of documents at him, and his heart began to ache.
The problem that he had been deliberately avoiding for so many years suddenly burst into flames and appeared before his eyes, dripping with blood.
Li Tingmo said: "You should marry Bian Yue next year. The inheritance under Bian Yue's name will be the last brick for you to secure your position in Feng Cheng."
His father sat behind the desk, looking at his only son with admiring eyes, praising him generously. He said, "Si Heng, you have done very well these years. Bian Yue trusts you very much."
Of course Bian Yue trusted him. After all these years of living together day and night, he treated her with all his heart. It’s not to say that he didn’t take advantage of her or scheme against her at all, but love and care were his true underlying colors.
Li Siheng loves Bian Yue.
This is his only, certain, and true love in the huge world of fame and fortune of the Li family.
So he lowered his head, and said in a suppressed, hoarse voice: "Dad, do I really have to do this? I don't have to give up Bian Yue's inheritance. If you give me a few years, I can do it."
"How many years?" Li Tingmo interrupted Li Siheng, his voice full of sarcasm, and asked sarcastically: "How many years do you want? Li Siheng, do you think that you can accumulate the century-old wealth of the Bian family in just a few years with your own efforts? I tell you, you can't do it! Not only you can't do it, even Shen Jinci, the business genius, can't do it!"
"Those are Bian Yue's things. You asked me to take them away from her. Have you ever thought about how I will face her?" Li Siheng's voice became more and more suppressed. His peach blossom eyes turned red. He pleaded softly, "Dad, Bian Yue grew up under your care. You..."
"I'm not as confused as you. I know why I adopted her, Li Siheng. From the beginning, we were just after the Bian family's inheritance! If you didn't want her, why did you go to pick up Bian Yue? You shouldn't have anything to do with her! You know very well why you stepped into the Bian family's mourning hall!"
Hit the nail on the head.
At the beginning
At the very beginning, it was indeed just for the inheritance.
But humans are not plants or trees. Li Siheng's heart softened the first time he saw Bian Yue.
He is very flawless in his dealings with others. He has been tactful and smiling since he was a teenager, but deep down he is colder than anyone else.
But Bian Yue is different. When he is with her, every smile he makes is genuine.
At this moment, Li Siheng felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness. He whispered in a low voice, "I don't want Bian Yue's help. I just want to marry her simply."
"Li Siheng, do you know what you are talking about?" Li Tingmo tauntedly. He stood up and walked in front of Li Siheng, looking directly at his son. "You have only one way. Marry Bian Yue and complete the final preparation for taking over Fengcheng. After that, I don't care how you get along with Bian Yue. If it doesn't work out, you can divorce me in two years. You have to understand that Fengcheng is your most important responsibility."
"But Bian Yue is also my responsibility!"
His heart was moved so deeply that it was enough to compete with reason.
But the next moment, Li Tingmo destroyed Li Siheng's persistence with just a few words.
Li Tingmo said: "If you were asked to choose between Feng Cheng and Bian Yue, what would you choose?"
Li Siheng looked at Li Tingmo in astonishment. He was clearly told that he actually had no way out.
His reaction was also within Li Tingmo's expectations. Li Tingmo's expression eased slightly, and he said earnestly: "Si Heng, you are a smart man. You don't need me to teach you how to choose, right?"
How to choose?
He didn't really have a choice.
Standing in this position of the Li family, he has no choice.
So Li Siheng began to not know how to face Bian Yue.
He cared about her, but he cared about Feng Cheng more.
The painstaking accumulation of this century-old family needs to be passed on and carried forward by generations.
In the face of family glory, personal likes and dislikes are not worth mentioning at all.
This is the only way for him.
This is a road destined to betray Bian Yue.
Therefore, Li Siheng began to subconsciously distance himself from Bian Yue.
At first they were alienated, but later on, they went completely in opposite directions.
There began to be countless women around him. In fact, there were women who came to him one after another in the past, but he never even glanced at them. He really felt sorry for Bian Yue and didn't want to see her sad.
But now, he began to allow women who were useful to him to appear around him.
