Chapter 148: Going Separate Ways

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Going Separate Ways

"What do you want to hear? That the Li Family was the push behind your parents’ death, is that what you want to hear?" His voice was laced with irony.

Bian Yue’s eyes suddenly reddened, her teeth trembling, her eyes filled with complexity as she looked at Li Sihe, "If you think this is a misunderstanding, you could present evidence to explain it to me, but you didn’t. You’re just making excuses."

"Present evidence?" Li Sihe chuckled lightly, slowly shaking his head, his eyes revealing despair, "You clearly know that I have no evidence, Bian Yue, you guessed right. The truth is that sordid; the Li Family was indeed the push behind the downfall of the Bian Family, I have nothing to say."

Bian Yue’s tears fell, looking at Li Sihe, she felt that this person she had known for seven years was so unfamiliar.

"You knew from day one."

"Yes."

"You watched me gratefully devoted to the Li Family like a fool, you even planned to keep me in the dark for a lifetime!" As Bian Yue spoke, she lost control, her voice becoming shrill and loud, "Li Sihe, one shouldn’t be so shameless!"

"I’m also struggling, Bian Yue, do you think I’m not hurting? All these years, every time I looked at you, my heart was tormented, afraid of when you would find out the truth, afraid of how you’d see me after knowing it, but what could I do, I was only 18 at the time! I was just being pushed forward."

Li Sihe gripped Bian Yue’s wrist tightly, unwilling to let go. The mirth and warmth had vanished from his peach blossom eyes, replaced by pain as he said, "Bian Yue, I’m not well either; I haven’t been fine for all these years. My initial reaction was to deny because I was afraid, afraid to stand opposite you. But... but I still admitted it..."

Bian Yue’s eyes were red as she looked at him, not shedding another tear.

Yet, the bitterness in Li Sihe’s heart grew even stronger.

His thin lips trembled as if grasping floating wood in the deep sea, his almost pleading gaze fixed on Bian Yue, "Because I know the truth cannot be concealed forever. Even if I don’t admit it today, once you leave this door, you would still find out everything. Rather than letting others tell you, or you discovering it yourself, I’d rather tell you personally."

"I don’t care why you’re telling me, Li Sihe, all I care about is that my parents are dead, and all these years, you knew the ins and outs but acted as your father’s accomplice, refused to reveal a bit to me, watching me obediently in front of your father, watching me struggle to survive cautiously within the Li Family, don’t you think you’re ridiculous?"

"Yueyue, I wanted to take good care of you."

Bian Yue pushed away Li Sihe’s hand, using all her strength, and the latter, weak and ill, was unable to resist. He was pushed to the sofa beside him, his face pale.

"If I had known that my parents’ death was related to the Li Family, even if I had to beg on the streets all these years, I would never have asked you for help! Nor do I need the so-called favors from the Li Family that slap you first and then give you candy to care for me!" Bian Yue’s gaze was as cold as ice, she said, "So, stop saying these words, Li Sihe, I’m utterly disappointed in you!"

Li Sihe felt an indescribable burning pain in his chest, as if tinged with the taste of blood.

He shut his eyes tightly, unable to utter a word in defense amid Bian Yue’s accusations.

He was utterly silent.

And Bian Yue, looking down at him, regained her composure: "Originally, what exactly did your father do to my family? Li Sihe, you might as well tell me everything today."

"Yueyue, your parents’ death was truly an accident." Li Sihe swallowed the sweet, fishy taste in his throat, painfully opened his eyes, and croaked: "Does it have to be like this between us?"

"Other than the past, what else is there to talk about between us? Li Sihe, you were the first to disrespect me!" Bian Yue gritted her teeth, enunciating every word, "You have kept me in the dark for so many years, have you ever respected me? What did you take me for? Now, I already know, and you still refuse to speak?"

"Fine, if you really want to know, I can tell you, but, Bian Yue, can you promise me that this won’t become your obsession? Yueyue, I hope you can be happy in this lifetime." His words were deep and seemingly sincere.

But Bian Yue, maintaining her stance, staring at Li Sihe, the sarcasm in her eyebrows intensified, "When you say these things, don’t you find it ridiculous? Now it’s about my parents, how can you think I’d be happy?"

Li Sihe looked into Bian Yue’s unbearably cold eyes, the feeling of despair slowly spreading, and he also knew that things would never be the same again.

She was no longer the ignorant child, he couldn’t simply dismiss her with a few words.

Now, she wanted answers, and if he couldn’t provide them, their separation was just a matter of time.

Even if he did provide them, could Bian Yue truly forgive him?

Forgive his years of detached observation...

Li Sihe’s expression became more profound, he watched Bian Yue for a long time, suddenly smiled lightly, and softly said, "Alright, you want answers, I’ll give you answers, Yueyue, if this is what you want..."

Bian Yue was 15, Spring of Port City, under the brightness of early lights.

The dazzling lights of Victoria Harbor enveloped everything, bringing a dreamlike hue.

Li Tingmo and Zhuang Yi together, with the chairman of the Bian Group, Bian Kai, signed a cooperative agreement, which involved political and business spheres, for a large plot of land in the south of the city for commercial development.

When Bian Yue turned 16, the land was repurchased by the Bian Family at a high price, but just as construction started, news broke of severe radiation found in soil tests.

Hundreds of billions in investments were wasted, and a large number of workers at the construction site developed cancer due to long-term radiation.

The Bian Group became a target of public criticism, with endless lawsuits emerging.

From then on, the Bian Family faced a huge financial crisis.

The Bian couple also died in an accident shortly thereafter.

Bian Yue listened quietly to Li Sihe’s account, her hand by her side slowly clenched.

Her eyes fixed on Li Sihe, filled with profound hatred, she sneered slowly, "If I’m not mistaken, your father, Li Tingmo, knew there were problems with this plot of land, but he still let my father take over, right?"

"Yes."

Bian Yue staggered back a step, looking at Li Sihe incredulously, her voice unconsciously rising, "Do you guys have any heart at all? Why would you do this? Do you know how much my father trusted the Li Family!"

"Bian Yue, matters in the business world aren’t places for sentimentality. From different perspectives, things are seen differently. I know you’re upset, but you can’t be too stubborn."

Li Sihe stood up, grabbed Bian Yue’s hand, urgently saying, "It’s true my father had his schemes, but ultimately, the downfall of the Bian Family was an accident."
