Chapter 155: Chapter 155: I Won’t Touch Her

Shen Jinci brought breakfast over and placed it beside Bian Yue, stroking her hair and asking her what was wrong, as she looked unhappy.

Bian Yue put down her phone, silently moved closer to Shen Jinci, and hugged his waist.

Shen Jinci noticed Bian Yue’s low spirits, so he bent down and gently patted her back: "What’s the matter? Who made our Bian Yue unhappy?"

Bian Yue sniffed the reassuring cold fragrance from Shen Jinci, shook her head vigorously, and after a moment, her emotions finally settled, and she whispered softly, "Jinci, today is my parents’ death anniversary. Can you accompany me to visit them?"

Shen Jinci felt deeply apologetic.

"Sorry, Yueyue..." Shen Jinci couldn’t continue. He knelt down in front of Bian Yue, looked up at her: "The death anniversary released by the Bian Family is not today; I didn’t investigate further."

"At that time, when my parents had the accident, the Bian Family wanted to settle the inheritance first before announcing my parents’ death, so the date they announced publicly wasn’t actually my parents’ death anniversary, it was the seventh day after their death."

Bian Yue’s eyes reddened, and her voice was hoarse: "I was so useless at that time, I couldn’t protect the belongings my parents left me, nor could I protect their dignity in completing their final journey in life."

Tears fell from Bian Yue’s eyes, Shen Jinci raised his hand, patiently wiping them away.

His voice grew softer and tenderer, slowly saying: "Yueyue, it’s not your fault. You were very young at that time. Being able to take care of yourself and grow up so well, your mom and dad would definitely be happy for you."

Bian Yue looked at Shen Jinci uncertainly, touched: "Really... really?"

"Really, our Yueyue is the best little girl in the world." Shen Jinci cradled her face, gently saying: "I’ll accompany Yueyue to visit mom and dad, alright?"

Bian Yue smiled through her tears, "Your tone really sounds like you are coaxing a child."

The corner of Shen Jinci’s eyes softened, he looked at Bian Yue, softly saying: "It’s okay, it’s just between the two of us."

The cemetery of Bian Yue’s parents is in Xiangjiang Cemetery.

Separated by just a thin line, one side is the cemetery, the other side is the bustling urban area.

The dark tombstones are towering, Bian Yue places fresh flowers and offerings in front of the tomb, kneeling and wiping the dust off the tombstone.

It’s inscribed with Bian Kai and Bi Yaxian, the names of Bian Yue’s parents.

Shen Jinci holds an umbrella for Bian Yue, the black umbrella enclosing them both within.

Fine rain drizzles from the sky, shrouding everything in a mist-like veil, with the distant sound of church bells and indistinct hymns carried from afar.

"Dad, Mom, I’ve brought Jinci to see you, I... got married, to a man I really love." Bian Yue’s voice, amidst all these blurry sights and sounds, was the only thing real and clear to Shen Jinci’s ears.

Her voice was so light, so tender, it was heart-wrenching.

"Are you well in heaven?" Bian Yue’s eyes were red, yet she still managed a strained smile, saying: "Mom and Dad, don’t worry, I’ve come to know the truth about the past, all those involved in the oppression against our family, I won’t let any of them go, never."

"These years, not knowing the inside story, I naively thought that the Li Family was friendly to us. Not anymore, I will make them pay the price!"

Bian Yue spoke these words with calm resolution.

Shen Jinci silently watched her slender and fragile figure, his heart filled with pain.

His Bian Yue stumbled along the way, not knowing how much hardship she had suffered before appearing in front of him.

Shen Jinci regretted being too self-righteous in the past, allowing Bian Yue to live with the Li Family.

He so desperately wished for Bian Yue to be happy, even if the cost was unimaginable, he wouldn’t hesitate...

Fengcheng Group, Chairman’s office.

Li Tingmo walked into the office with a grim expression and saw Li Sihe folding joss paper.

The yellow paper carried a gloomy, noble air, completely out of place in the office.

Li Tingmo’s scalp tingled, and his already unsightly face became even more aggravated.

He strode up to Li Sihe and spoke displeasedly, "What are you doing! Are you insane? You’re doing such ominous things in the office!"

"Today is Uncle Bian and Aunt He’s death anniversary, I intend to send Bai Xu with these joss papers to their gravesite to pay respects, it’s also a way to express my sincerity."

"Li Sihe! Don’t think just because you are unwell that you can do whatever you want! I may have handed Fengcheng Group over to you now, but that doesn’t mean I approve of you stepping on my face!" Li Tingmo approached Li Sihe, his gaze fixating on the irritating joss paper, he swung his hand and scattered them on the ground, "Stop folding! You seem to be possessed!"

"If you dislike it, you can leave." Li Sihe bent down to pick up the yellow paper from the floor.

"You..." Seeing Li Sihe’s unwavering attitude, Li Tingmo gave up and brought up a serious topic, "I’m asking you, what’s going on with you and Zhuang Jie Ning recently? Everything was fine, why did she move out from your place? And Su Youxue, who is about to get married soon, what’s the meaning of bringing her home?"

"The marriage with Zhuang Jie Ning was always a matter of convenience, wasn’t it?" Li Sihe looked toward Li Tingmo with a gentle smile like a charming gentleman, his voice soft, "Father, you admire certain talented young men from the Li Family, just present them to Zhuang Jie Ning. As long as she bears a child, you should be satisfied, right?"

Li Tingmo struggled to maintain his composure.

Although what Li Sihe said was true, such matters are not to be openly discussed. Li Tingmo’s face turned pale, he pressed his lips tightly, and gravely said:

"Sihe! You should still live well with Jie Ning. I believe your health will improve, perhaps even be cured. And if by any chance... if any mishap occurs, letting Jie Ning have a child with another person from the Li Family is a last resort. If you two could have your own child..."

"We will not have children." Li Sihe coldly interrupted Li Tingmo, his peach blossom eyes cool and undisturbed, "I won’t touch a single hair on her."

"Fine, you won’t touch her! But you can’t drive her away from home either. Immediately, go to the Zhuang Family and bring Zhuang Jie Ning back." Li Tingmo conceded, pleading gently, "Sihe, we always need to keep up appearances."

"Father, aren’t you curious why Zhuang Jie Ning went back home?"

"Why?"

"Zhuang Jie Ning told Bian Yue the truth about what happened back then."

Li Tingmo was taken aback, staring at Li Sihe, "What truth about back then? What are you talking about?"

"The truth about the Bian Family back then." Li Sihe still smiled faintly, but his eyes gleamed with mockery, "Father, the good daughter-in-law you picked, surprised?"

Li Tingmo was so shocked he almost couldn’t breathe, his breathing became rapid, "Say that again!"
