Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Love and Desire Out of Control
"Because I already want to let it go!" Xie Zhang stood up, towering above Bian Yue. "It’s been more than two years, why do you have to bring up the past again? Bian Yue, must you force me to live trapped in the past?"
Finally, from Xie Zhang’s mouth, Bian Yue heard a sincere truth.
She softly said, "Even if you want to pull away, before doing so, aren’t you curious as to why Jiayi would suddenly commit suicide?"
"What do you mean?"
"The information Li Sihe found indicates that Jiayi may have seen your father before she died, but I guess he didn’t tell you because without conclusive evidence, Li Sihe wouldn’t speak." Bian Yue saw the shock in Xie Zhang’s eyes and understood: "So he didn’t say anything after all."
Xie Zhang’s eyes gradually reddened, and the next moment, he abruptly turned around and, under Bian Yue’s gaze, strode outside.
Bian Yue stood up and chased after him, asking where he was going.
With his back to Bian Yue, Xie Zhang stopped and said, "I am going to ask my father what he and An Jiayi talked about!"
After speaking, he turned his face slightly towards Bian Yue, his voice cold: "Don’t you want to know too? Bian Yue, let’s go together."
Bian Yue frowned, knowing that Xie Zhang was emotionally impulsive now, but still, after a moment’s hesitation, she followed his steps.
Xie Quan happened to be in the ancestral home today, as usual, having just paid respects to Guan Gong.
Seeing Xie Zhang leading Bian Yue in, Xie Quan’s face froze for a moment, then he smiled: "Bian Yue, Uncle hasn’t seen you in a long time."
Bian Yue politely greeted and sat down on the nearby Eight Immortals chair.
Xie Quan smiled, his elder’s demeanor very amiable, "Bian Yue, have you gotten used to everything after marrying Mr. Shen?"
Bian Yue was about to respond when Xie Zhang, standing by her side, already kicked over a chair.
With a loud ’clang’, it successfully darkened Xie Quan’s expression.
"What the heck are you doing! Bian Yue is here, if you have scared Bian Yue, I will thrash you to death, boy!"
Xie Zhang kept silent, just coldly looking at Xie Quan.
There, father and son faced each other in dead silence in front of Bian Yue.
Xie Zhang was handsome and charming, obviously inheriting his looks from Xie Quan. Although Xie Quan was approaching fifty, he still looked incredibly handsome, even his anger was somehow pleasing to the eye.
"Dad, what are you pretending for in front of Bian Yue?" Xie Zhang curled his lips in a cold sneer.
Xie Quan felt that today Xie Zhang was probably going mad.
The son who usually kept silent and seemed indifferent to everything, when had he ever talked back to him like this?
Xie Quan’s face grew colder, he warned in a low voice: "Xie Zhang, don’t you start going insane here! If there’s something, just say it!"
"Dad, have you ever killed someone?" Xie Zhang was direct enough, one question, that successfully paralyzed the already stiff and silent atmosphere, beyond redemption.
Bian Yue didn’t know that Xie Zhang could be so crazy.
In the circle Bian Yue knew, Xie Zhang was considered one of the more even-tempered. It was he who could be repeatedly confronted and cursed by Bian Yue and yet not take it to heart.
Bian Yue actually knew that Xie Zhang just didn’t want to quarrel with her.
But the Xie Zhang now, he really was filled with resentment.
"Are you insane? In front of Bian Yue, what nonsense are you spouting!" Xie Quan was astounded.
"An Jiayi."
Xie Zhang spat out three words coldly.
Xie Quan’s astonishment was replaced by a gloomy expression as he looked towards Bian Yue and forced a smile, "Girl, Xie Zhang and I need to discuss some matters. Why don’t you wait for us in the front hall, okay?"
"She stays right here, she’s not going anywhere!" Before Bian Yue could speak up, Xie Zhang coldly said, "I’ve always treated Bian Yue as a sister. What business of mine can she not hear?"
Xie Quan’s face turned ashen, but in the end, it’s his own son he couldn’t sever ties with, he could only say coldly, "You’ve really grown up! Speaking to me like this!"
"How did An Jiayi die?" Xie Zhang didn’t back down at all and asked pointedly.
"Do you really want to know?" Xie Quan sneered, "It’s been more than two years now, and now you’ve thought to come to me and demand accountability?"
Xie Zhang realized, his bizarre countenance reddening around the eyes, "Are you admitting this has something to do with you?"
"Yes! It does involve me! What about it? I didn’t force her to die!" Xie Quan laughed coldly as he said, "It was just an actress. You’re sentimental and overindulgent; you should have some limits!"
Xie Quan originally didn’t want to be bothered with this An Jiayi.
But at that time, Xie Zhang’s affection for her was too excessive, and he, as Xie Zhang’s father, could not disregard it.
"She bewitched your reason, leading you repeatedly to misjudge and make wrong decisions. You were even so blinded by lust that you spent a fortune on her at the auction!"
Xie Quan coldly said, "Xie Zhang, you are my only son; it’s okay to slip up occasionally. I can’t watch you ruin your life!"
"That necklace was just a birthday gift. Is it really worth your dramatic reaction?" Xie Zhang’s eyes were completely reddened, he looked coldly at Xie Quan, "For a mere necklace, you want her life?"
"That was the necklace I instructed you to bid on, to give to your future fiancée, Miss Ji! What right did An Jiayi have to possess it!"
"I’m the one who let her have it!" Xie Zhang growled with a cold laugh, his face expressionless as he looked at Xie Quan with a sarcastic tone, "Dad, if you’re so concerned about it, you could have just told me; there was no need to drive someone to death!"
Xie Quan’s anger surged as well; he was rarely contradicted by Xie Zhang like this, also unhappy he said, "It’s you who drove her to her death! Your excessively doting killed her!"
Bian Yue saw that a look of shock flashed across Xie Zhang’s face, after which, it was as if in an instant all vitality was drained from him; he just looked at Xie Quan without saying a word.
Xie Quan pursed his lips, a commanding expression on his face, "I admit, before An Jiayi’s death, I met with her. All I did was tell her that you already have a fiancée and ask her not to interfere with your life, to leave quietly. I did not expect her to have such a strong-willed nature, to actually commit suicide!"
Xie Zhang clenched his fists, causing a grating noise; his voice was eerily calm, "So, the photos I saw of An Jiayi being intimate with another man, was that also your design?"
"That’s right! But it was also because this woman was not content! If she had been completely unmoved, she wouldn’t have been outmaneuvered!" Xie Quan, having finished, softened his expression and looked towards Bian Yue, "Bian Yue, excuse our behavior, it’s almost noon, let’s have some lunch together?"
"Uncle, perhaps some other time, Xie Zhang probably needs some time alone."
For some reason, Bian Yue felt that something was terribly amiss; the smile on Xie Quan’s face seemed all the more insincere.
Bian Yue cast her gaze downwards and replied calmly, "I have some matters to attend to, I will take my leave first."
Xie Quan did not insist; his politeness just now was mere formality.
After letting Bian Yue witness such a debacle, for the moment, Xie Quan likewise did not wish to have further dealings with Bian Yue.
He said, "Alright, I’ll have the housekeeper send you off."
As the words fell, Xie Zhang approached Bian Yue and said, "Let’s go, I will walk out with you."
