After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 114: Confirmed Heartbeat

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Confirmed Heartbeat

Bian Yue was already feeling unwell, and with Xie Zhang’s exploitation, her mood was far from good. Now, hearing the doctor speak like this, she felt as if the clouds had parted for the sun. She couldn’t help but smile and say, "Thank you, doctor."

"Please don’t thank me! Go home and pay more attention to rest. Don’t be so careless next time!"

Shen Jinci helped Bian Yue up and nodded gently at the doctor, "Thank you for your hard work, doctor."

It wasn’t until the two of them left the ward and saw Xie Zhang outside the door that Shen Jinci’s attitude turned noticeably colder.

Xie Zhang hesitated to speak, looking at Bian Yue for a long time before finally whispering, "Bian Yue, could I speak with you alone for a moment?"

Bian Yue remained silent for a while before saying, "You come with me."

Shen Jinci did not stop her but just draped his coat over Bian Yue’s shoulders, and, looking down, he gentle urged, "The air conditioning in the hospital is strong; don’t catch a cold."

Bian Yue and Xie Zhang sat down in a nearby rest area.

The atmosphere was quiet, with Xie Zhang staring at Bian Yue for a long time before letting out a light chuckle, "I know, right now, you must think very little of me, seeing me as shameless, don’t you?"

"You shouldn’t have used me to plot against Yao Yimin, Xie Zhang. She is just someone trying to make a living, not someone who can withstand the devastation of the Xie Family."

Bian Yue’s gaze was direct as she coldly said to Xie Zhang, "Are you targeting Yao Yimin because you’re afraid? Afraid that the incident the Xie Family hurt Jiayi would be exposed!"

"An Jiayi committed suicide," Xie Zhang said coldly, his words cutting like a blunt knife, "Bian Yue, let me tell you again, An Jiayi’s death has nothing to do with the Xie Family. It was her own despair."

"You were once together, Xie Zhang. I know you’ve been with countless women, and Jiayi probably wasn’t the most beautiful or the most understanding of your heart, but it was only An Jiayi who died for you."

Bian Yue looked up sternly at Xie Zhang, her voice even colder than before, "Everyone has a heart made of flesh; how can you hurt her family like this?"

"That’s because Yao Yimin wanted to investigate what happened back then! But what happened was just an accident. I didn’t want any complications. Now, by forcing her out, it’s like I’m saving her life. Bian Yue, you should understand—families like ours don’t need to lift a finger if they really want someone dead."

Bian Yue even doubted her own ears, but Xie Zhang’s words were just that heartless.

Bian Yue had known Xie Zhang for so long, and they had been friends. Yet, it was only today that she realized just how selfish he really was.

Bian Yue frowned at Xie Zhang, a cold look in her eyes. She slowly stood up, looming over him, "So tell me, what did you want to talk about by having me come here? Are you hoping I’ll persuade Yao Yimin to play dumb and not pursue the matter?"

"As far as I know, she’s now a movie queen, isn’t she? If she doesn’t want her career to be destroyed overnight, she better withdraw early. I can also persuade my father to not quarrel with her," Xie Zhang said without looking at Bian Yue’s face, his hands clenched into fists, his voice suppressed, "The Xie Family won’t allow a second occurrence of Yao Yimin’s situation."

Bian Yue nodded repeatedly, wishing she could praise Xie Zhang for being ruthless and decisive, showing no signs of weakness even in front of Li Sihe and others.

Turns out she’s been foolish for so many years. How could Young Master Xie be some harmless playboy?

The only son of the Xie Family, wouldn’t he know what he should? It was his years of disguise that had fooled Bian Yue, making her believe the act he and Xie Quan played in front of her.

"Xie Zhang, I’m not some great benevolent person, and I know that the world is unfair. Even I, myself, couldn’t defend myself in the past. But I can’t accept your actions; they’re too conscienceless."

Bian Yue’s voice dropped to a freezing point, "Let’s pretend I never knew you, just as you said, we can’t be friends anymore. Now, I really understand what you mean. Congratulations, Xie Zhang, you’re right, from now on, we’ll no longer be friends."

After finishing her words, Bian Yue didn’t wait for Xie Zhang to react and turned to leave.

Xie Zhang looked at Bian Yue’s retreating figure, his expression complex. In a low voice, he said, "Bian Yue, I just want you to persuade Yao Yimin not to oppose the Xie Family. I know my words sound insincere, but I truly have her best interests in heart."

"I heard you! There’s no need to repeat yourself over and over! Xie Zhang, Yao Yimin is an adult. She makes her decisions without causing harm or injustice. Why should I stop her? I’ll leave you with this: it was I who brought you to meet Yao Yimin. It was my lack of judgment that I didn’t see how cold-blooded you are, which almost led to Yao Yimin being schemed against by you! If Yao Yimin encounters any problems in the future, I will support her wholeheartedly."

Bian Yue spoke calmly, but the words were filled with a distant indifference, strong enough to be confrontational.

Xie Zhang subconsciously spoke softly, "Have you considered Jinci..."

"This matter has nothing to do with the Shen Family or Shen Jinci." Bian Yue turned her head coldly, her peripheral vision icy, "I am now the official heir of the Bian Family. Even your father, Xie Quan, cannot afford to fall out with me over this. Xie Zhang, I hope you understand that."

Xie Zhang unexpectedly smiled at that moment, his gaze emotional as he looked at Bian Yue and sighed, "You’ve grown up, Bian Yue."

This time, Bian Yue did not reply but opened the door and stepped out briskly.

Xie Zhang sat in the lounge, agitatedly taking out a cigarette and lighting it.

The smoke curled up, and through the mist, the man’s handsome features were profound.

There had once been love between him and An Jiayi. But that love was insignificant in the eyes of the Xie Family.

Xie Zhang was no impulsive youth, and he knew that love was not a rare commodity to be found everywhere.

Many loved him.

Whether it was pretense or self-sacrifice, there were always many people.

Perhaps An Jiayi’s love had been more passionate, but it still wasn’t enough to make him forsake his principles and give up his bottom line.

Today, he also knew that Yao Yimin would not dare to hurt herself. He just wanted the other party to see this clearly and give up the struggle.

Bian Yue’s appearance had disrupted his plans.

Xie Zhang had known Bian Yue for more than seven years; he would still envy her. How could a person climb out of a hopeless situation and still be full of enthusiasm?

His enthusiasm was long lost...

When Bian Yue came out, Shen Jinci stood in the corridor, on the phone.

Outside the window, the rain whispered, fine droplets like silky threads floating in the air.

Shen Jinci stood with his back to her, his figure long and elegant, exuding an incongruous nobility amidst the busy hospital corridor.

The next moment, as he looked at Bian Yue, it was like ice and snow melting instantaneously, the smile in his eyes spreading.

In that moment, everything around them became hushed and silent. Bian Yue stared at Shen Jinci in a daze, hearing a voice by her ear, "Look, Bian Yue, you’ve moved into that pair of eyes that are indifferent to everyone else."

And Shen Jinci walked towards her, his movements natural, taking her hand as he led her outside.

Bian Yue was startled, followed by her heart uncontrollably beating, fast to the point of near chaos.
