Chapter 141: Give Me Time

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Give Me Time

"Is the chairman going to make an announcement?" Li Cun asked, puzzled and frowning.

But Li Tingmo smiled, satisfied and standing up, he said, "Everyone present are shareholders of Fengcheng Group and important partners of the Li Family. Indeed, today, in front of everyone, I do have something to announce!"

He suddenly started playing coy.

The crowd began to murmur.

Xie Zhang frowned, puzzled, and looked towards Li Sihe.

Clearly, the father and son had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Xie Zhang had not been in contact with Li Sihe for a long time and could not guess.

Meanwhile, Shen Zhaoli leaned back on the couch, with a posture like enjoying the drama and not afraid of the repercussions, and said leisurely, teasing, "Bian Yue, guess what the big news could be?"

Bian Yue remained silent.

Li Tingmo’s smile deepened, and he announced loudly, "The big news is that my son Shiheng and Zhuang Family’s Miss Zhuang Jie Ning are officially engaged, and the wedding will be held in the middle of next month."

As soon as his words fell, the place completely exploded.

Li Tingmo looked at Li Sihe with a touched expression, very much like a loving father: "So today, I am not competing with Shiheng for the chairman’s seat, but officially handing over the chairman’s position to my only son, the future successor of Fengcheng Group, Li Sihe."

Li Cun’s eyes widened, incredulously looking towards Li Tingmo, gradually his face turned livid with anger.

Had it not been for Li Tingmo previously saying he would like to take his son as an adopted son, he wouldn’t have made such a scene today, and now everything he did had turned into a joke! It just showed how deep their father-son relationship was!

In the corner of the sofa, low-profile Zhuang Yi slowly stood up and headed towards the door.

At the entrance, Tang Yuwei was already holding the gorgeously dressed Zhuang Jie Ning, the three of them standing side by side, invisibly finalizing the marriage.

"Really didn’t expect, to be called here today just for the announcement of a marriage."

"So, the rumors that the Li Family father and son were at odds, are they false?"

The crowd murmured among themselves, all speculation.

Bian Yue just looked at Li Sihe, who was sitting at the head of the crowd. At this point, he stood up and walked to Zhuang Jie Ning’s side.

His expression was very indifferent, the once gentle and refined man now appeared cold and detached. He cracked a smile, enigmatic, and spoke calmly and quietly, "I hope you all can attend mine and Jie Ning’s wedding."

The expression on Zhuang Jie Ning’s face didn’t look good either; it seemed she did not expect Li Sihe to agree so readily, her lip’s curve was forced, and her expression was on the verge of collapsing.

A farce, finally ending with Li Tingmo voluntarily stepping aside, and Li Sihe officially taking over Fengcheng Group.

Bian Yue looked at Li Sihe, who from beginning to end appeared to watch the fire from the other side, watching this farce centered around him unfold and perfectly conclude.

Shen Zhaoli’s voice revealed disappointment, "Just like that, I was actually hoping that the father and son would make a big scene."

If they had torn faces and made a joke under everyone’s scrutiny, that would be truly front-page headline material.

Now this way, it reduced much of the fun and talking points.

People had already started to get up and leave one by one, and each person, as they left, went to Li Sihe to congratulate him on both his career and romantic success.

Xie Zhang sat still, apparently deep in thought.

And Bian Yue and Shen Zhaoli were the last to get up and go over.

The spacious office, now devoid of people, appeared very deserted.

Shen Zhaoli lazily walked towards Li Sihe and said, "Congratulations, I’ll take my sister-in-law and leave first."

Bian Yue heard Shen Zhaoli calling her "sister-in-law" for the first time, and the boy said it so smoothly that it made Bian Yue blush a little.

Little brat, quite good at handling things!

"You go first, I have something to talk to Bian Yue about," Li Sihe responded to Shen Zhaoli’s actions without any reaction.

He didn’t even look at Shen Zhaoli, but at Bian Yue standing beside.

It was only at this moment that his gaze finally warmed, as he softly said without caring about the others around, "It won’t be long, Yueyue, can you give me a bit of time."

Bian Yue was stunned, "Let’s just talk here."

Zhuang Jie Ning and Zhuang Yi stood aside, and the most desperate person at the scene was Zhuang Jie Ning.

She watched Li Sihe’s back, her fists clenched, nails digging into her flesh, the sharp pain unable to surpass the torment in her heart.

She really didn’t know why her life had failed this way, was she doomed to be just a foil for Bian Yue all her life?

Zhuang Jie Ning truly wanted to disregard everything and drag Bian Yue down to hell with her, even if it meant sacrificing herself.

Her eyes bloodshot, nearly on the verge of tears, her mind struggled amidst collapse.

Yet Zhuang Yi looked at her with a warning expression, as a father, Zhuang Jie Ning knew what he meant.

This strict father of hers was authoritative in her life.

So Zhuang Jie Ning forcefully swallowed the metaphorical blood, she put on a smile, walked toward Li Tingmo and said, "Uncle, Shiheng and Bian Yue surely have things to discuss. Let’s give them some time."

Li Tingmo smiled, pleased with Zhuang Jie Ning, "Jie Ning, you’re sensible indeed, we’re just in the way here, shall we all leave first?"

As the words fell, Tang Yuwei linked arms with Li Tingmo, Zhuang Jie Ning followed Zhuang Yi and they left one by one.

Even Xie Zhang, who had been sitting on the sofa, silently walked out.

Only Li Sihe, Bian Yue, and Shen Zhaoli were left.

Shen Zhaoli sneered, speaking unhurriedly: "Looking at me is useless, I must stay with my sister-in-law. Whatever you want to say, say it in front of me. If you can’t say it, then perhaps you better not say it at all."

"Bian Yue." Li Sihe didn’t linger, directly said, "My marital arrangement with Zhuang Jie Ning is just a mutual understanding between the Zhuang Li families. I don’t love her."

"Does she know about your health condition?" Bian Yue frowned, voicing her doubts, "If she knows, why would she agree to this marriage?"

Li Sihe thought, Bian Yue really has changed a lot.

Her way of thinking seems to be influenced by Shen Jinci, becoming particularly rational.

Li Sihe gave a soft laugh, his voice hoarse and low as he stared at Bian Yue, "Because we each have our own needs."

Bian Yue nodded, saying, "So it is. Well then, that’s good."

’That’s good’, these words, no matter how one heard them, sounded sharp to the ears.

Li Sihe’s complexion turned pale, his figure unsteady, his gaze upon Bian Yue tinged with despair, "Good?"

"Since it’s a matter of mutual needs, of course it’s good. Ah, and thank you for those photos, Jinci has handed them over to me," Bian Yue paused for a while, her voice gentle and patient as she inquired, "Is that what you wanted to tell me?"

"Bian Yue... I don’t know how to explain to you, just give me a bit of time, I can get all this sorted out."

Li Sihe pursed his lips, a hint of anxious emotion on his brow, he paused, then added, "I don’t know if I can succeed now, I can only take a gamble."
