Chapter 121: Playing Both Sides

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Playing Both Sides

Yao Yimin looked at Bian Yue’s solemn expression with an indescribable complexity in her heart.

She tugged at the corners of her lips, forcing a smile, and whispered, "Bian Yue, do you... really think this way? Xie Zhang is your friend, if you don’t want to get involved, I won’t have any objections."

"Now you are in my film crew, my partner, and it was I who asked Xie Zhang to come to you, I didn’t see his intentions beforehand, so..." Bian Yue paused, and said earnestly, "Of course, I will take responsibility for you, which is also taking responsibility for my work."

Bian Yue stood up, walked over to Yao Yimin, and sat down.

"After the script finishes shooting, if you want to investigate, I can help you, Yimin, I promise."

Yao Yimin looked at Bian Yue, tears in her eyes. Her palms were icy as she placed her hand over Bian Yue’s, sweat making it sticky.

On the first day of the film crew’s shooting, Bian Yue invited everyone in the crew to a meal and also gave everyone a big red envelope, prompting laughter and jests that President Bian was being too generous.

Bian Yue joined everyone, casual in demeanor, drinking quite a bit.

She returned to the hotel, and as soon as her head touched the pillow, sleepiness enveloped her.

The moment her phone rang, Bian Yue picked it up without thinking, and after a brief silence, she heard a voice that she could hardly recognize.

The man’s voice was deep and hoarse, carrying a hint of weakness, "Yueyue, let’s meet."

Bian Yue held the phone, hesitating for a long time before she remembered this was Li Sihe.

Her drunkenness clouded her mind, and after a long pause, she asked, "Is there something wrong?"

The Fengcheng Group building was brightly lit, Li Sihe stood on the top floor looking down, watching the endless stream of people and vehicles.

He lowered his eyelashes to disguise his true feelings, only whispering gently, "There are some things from the Bian Family that I want to hand over to you personally."

"The Bian Family’s things?" Bian Yue was startled, "Apart from the account books, what things?"

"The photos of your parents when they were young, which I just found today, you can come and take them if you want," Li Sihe’s voice was gentle, he covered his mouth to muffle a cough, looking indifferently at the blood on his hand.

"Are you alright? Are you in the hospital right now?" Bian Yue frowned.

"I was discharged a few days ago, Yueyue, I do not even know how long I can keep going, could you come back and talk with me?"

Bian Yue rarely heard Li Sihe make such a humbled request.

He was always proud, hardly ever bowing his head.

Bian Yue understood, her emotions grew more complex.

She gripped her phone tighter, confused, "I spoke to your assistant, Bai Xu, about visiting you at the hospital, why did you disagree?"

That was the reason why, apart from the first time, Bian Yue never visited Li Sihe at the hospital again.

After a brief silence, Li Sihe spoke in a low voice, "I didn’t want you to see me lying on the hospital bed, barely alive, Bian Yue, for me, this is more unbearable than death itself."

This time it was Bian Yue’s turn to be silent, and after a long silence, she replied softly, "I am currently at the film crew, I probably won’t have time for the next half month, once the film crew’s work is over, I will visit you, Li Sihe, please take care of your health, live a long life."

Li Sihe could tell Bian Yue’s blessing was sincere, but he also realized, she had really let go.

His heart ached, inevitably a bitter smile appeared, "You are just concerned about me because we’ve known each other for so many years, right?"

"Regardless, I naturally hope you are well," was all Bian Yue answered.

A bitter sweetness rose in Li Sihe’s throat, he wasn’t sure, but perhaps deep down, he already knew the answer, yet the remaining unwillingness made him ask, "Bian Yue, have you fallen in love with Shen Jinci?"

Bian Yue’s eyelashes trembled, her grip on the phone tightened, her lips slightly pursed as she said firmly, "I think maybe I have."

Li Sihe sat in his spacious and comfortable office, and in an instant, he felt a chill throughout his body.

He chuckled in disbelief, despair in his eyes couldn’t be more intense, "Bian Yue, you know how to make someone suffer."

That was the last thing he said to Bian Yue before hanging up.

Bian Yue had been drinking, and after the conversation, which took quite a bit of her energy, she felt her stomach churning unbearably and rushed to the restroom, leaning on the cold marble countertop, she vomited all the alcohol she had consumed.

Thus, she was completely sober.

Just then, a message from Shen Jinci arrived on her phone.

Simply one sentence, Shen Jinci wrote: "The celebration must have been tiring, Yueyue rest early, no need to reply."

Bian Yue looked at her phone, and despite still feeling sick after vomiting, she couldn’t help but smile.

In Xiangjiang, a torrential rain hastened the construction of indoor sets and indoors scenes were being shot.

Director Liu was full of energy every day, punctually reporting the progress of the filming to Bian Yue, with Director Liu’s words, "Bian Yue, our ’Shengshi Yan’ has to at least win the drama king title!"

Bian Yue fully acknowledged Director Liu’s ambitions, smiling as she replied: "Yes, wouldn’t it become the drama king? Director Liu, you’ve been working so hard, it will definitely be a success!"

Anny approached from a distance with a somewhat serious expression.

Thinking something serious had occurred, Bian Yue asked anv, "What’s wrong? You look upset?"

"Our neighboring film crew also started today," Anny said gravely.

"Next door? What are they filming?"

"It’s also a period drama, different theme, but the investment is even greater than ours; it’s... funded by Fengcheng Group," Anny looked at Bian Yue hesitantly and lowered her voice, "President Bian... do you think Mr. Li is doing this intentionally?"

Bian Yue was silent for a moment, then said lightly, "It’s out of the question, Li Sihe wouldn’t be so petty as to retaliate against me."

"But isn’t the timing of next door’s shooting too coincidental? And, do you know what I just saw?" Anny’s tone was very serious.

Bian Yue asked her what she saw.

Anny said, "The producer next door is Wang Dan’an, I don’t believe this is a coincidence!"

Bian Yue looked at Director Liu not far away directing the filming, after a moment of silence, she said, "Let’s not alarm everyone for now, let’s go and see what exactly is happening."

Anny nodded and led Bian Yue towards the neighboring site.

Walking through the damp rain, they saw from afar a red banner, inscribed with ’"Palace Wall Snow" Starting Ceremony.’

Wang Dan’an was setting off firecrackers, his smile genial; he also saw Bian Yue and, with pride, handed the spent firecrackers to an assistant and approached Bian Yue.

"What a coincidence, President Bian, you are here too!" Wang Dan’an said with a smile: "There you see, it’s the starting ceremony, I came to have a look."

Bian Yue replied with a faint smile, slowly saying, "President Wang, investing in ’Shengshi Yan’ on one hand and starting a new crew with a similar theme on the other, do you think it’s wise not to put all eggs in one basket?"
