After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 170: Bearing It All Alone

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Bearing It All Alone

He sacrificed so much, gave up his conscience, and paid such a heavy price for all this - did he really still want it?

When Bian Yue returned to the Shen Family Mansion, the sky was draped with a drizzling gray rain, carrying with it a hint of gloom.

She had just gotten out of the car when she saw Shen Jinci, holding an umbrella, waiting for her in front of the gate.

He was dressed in home clothes, with calmly elegant and indifferent eyes and brows, his smile profound. He didn’t ask anything but said, "It’s almost noon, and I was thinking you probably haven’t eaten since you were out, so I made you some soup."

A warmth surged in Bian Yue’s heart; she embraced Shen Jinci, burying her face in his chest, her voice muffled, "Mr. Shen is becoming more and more considerate."

"Still learning," Shen Jinci paused, then said softly, "I can’t let Yueyue suffer by my side."

At the dining table, after Bian Yue sipped the soup and put down her spoon, she looked at Shen Jinci, her voice slightly apprehensive, "There’s something I want to tell you."

"Mm."

"It’s like this, I’ve thought of a solution to the issue of the leaked sample footage, but... I can’t just let Zhuang Jie Ning off the hook." Bian Yue’s eyes carried a dark intensity as she said, "I must make her pay the price."

"Then go ahead and do it."

Bian Yue, somewhat startled by Shen Jinci’s placid words, replied, "I haven’t said what I plan to do yet."

"Whatever you want to do is fine, Yueyue. This is your affair, you have full decision-making authority, and I won’t hinder any of your decisions." Shen Jinci spoke earnestly, reaching over to take the empty bowl in front of Bian Yue and scooped her another bowl of soup.

Bian Yue, looking at Shen Jinci’s calm and composed demeanor, felt more at peace. She said, "I’m planning to sue Feng Cheng."

"I guessed as much."

"You... guessed?"

"You harbor resentment towards the Li Family. After all, your parents’ death is inseparably linked to them. Now, Zhuang Jie Ning dares to treat you this way because she relies on her status as Li Sihe’s fiancée. I understand why you want to sue Feng Cheng," Shen Jinci blew on the soup to cool it down and placed it in front of Bian Yue, "Have another bowl, it will warm you up."

Bian Yue obediently drank another bowl.

She lowered her eyes and spoke again, her voice even lighter, "Will this affect the not-easily-established new cooperation between the Shen and Li Families?"

"It’s not important," Shen Jinci said.

Those simple three words conveyed unconditional support.

An indescribable sense of security welled up in Bian Yue’s heart, and she smiled at Shen Jinci, saying, "Okay, I understand, Mr. Shen."

Bian Yue’s crisis public relations tactic was to incorporate the previously widely circulated sample footage directly into the premiere of the extended trailer.

Unlike previous trailers, this time, Bian Yue included all the relevant shooting footage into the post-production.

A trailer that was 40 minutes long.

Leveraging the previous online discussions, the extended trailer sparked a new wave of discussion on the internet.

What followed was a tug-of-war negotiation with Xinghe, aiming to push forward the release date of "Shengshi Yan," striking while the iron was hot.

As for today, the reason Bian Yue still went to confront Zhuang Jie Ning was solely to convey her stance, to tell her that the Li Family had been implicated in this matter.

Even if Zhuang Jie Ning hated and loathed her to the extreme, now that she had declared she would sue the Li Family, Zhuang Jie Ning wouldn’t dare continue to risk the reputation of the Li Family.

Therefore, seeking out Li Sihe was an inevitable move.

In the afternoon, Bian Yue went to the company, discussing with everyone the direction of the legal notice’s lawsuit.

Anny and Wen Jiao stayed with Bian Yue, practically pulling an all-nighter.

"Finally, it’s done. Tomorrow morning, the legal notice will be sent to Feng Cheng. I really want to see Li Sihe’s face at that time," Wen Jiao sat in front of the deeply darkened floor-to-ceiling window, gritting her teeth, "Zhuang Jie Ning, that madwoman, how did I not notice how black-hearted she was in junior high!"

"You were too busy eyeing the handsome guys back then to notice these things," Bian Yue teased with a smile, "Alright, you’ve both worked hard today. Jiaojiao, you and Anny should head back and rest."

Anny looked at Bian Yue sympathetically, frowning, "President Bian, my phone is always on. If anything comes up, you must tell me right away!"

Bian Yue nodded, urging the two to go back to rest, and then finished up alone at the office.

By the time everything was forgotten, it was already past midnight.

What Bian Yue didn’t expect was that when she got home at 4 in the morning, Shen Jinci was still awake.

The study was brightly lit, and as Bian Yue was puzzled and about to push the door open, she heard Shen Zhaoli’s voice inside.

"I just received a message from the lawyer. You’re lending Lixing’s legal team to Bian Yue for the lawsuit? Do you realize the relationship between the Li Family and the Shen Family? Once the fight breaks out, the board members won’t let you off!"

Shen Zhaoli spoke in a stern tone, with heartfelt concern, "Shen Jinci, consider this me begging you, can you not spoil Bian Yue like this?"

All the fatigue in Bian Yue’s body seemed to fade at hearing Shen Zhaoli’s words, tightening her heart, and abruptly waking her up quite a bit.

She knew this matter would trouble Shen Jinci, yet seeing his calm and collected demeanor today, Bian Yue thought it wouldn’t be too significant an impact.

But judging by Shen Zhaoli’s tone, the matter was clearly troublesome.

"I have not spoiled her in any way. I am simply respecting her choices. Just because she’s my wife doesn’t mean I should interfere with her decisions. If this is all you came to say, Shen Zhaoli, you may leave now," Shen Jinci’s voice was indifferent.

Shen Zhaoli’s tone grew more urgent, "I’m truly worried about you, Shen Jinci. I don’t want you to be the target of gossip! Marrying Bian Yue was against much opposition, and now, for her sake, compromising the board’s interests, what consequences it may bring, Bian Yue may not understand, but do you not either?"

"Whatever the consequences, I’ll bear them alone. It’s nothing more than becoming enemies with the Li Family, which means nothing to me."

"Fine, I’m the one who’s overstepping, bothering you late at night!" With that, Shen Zhaoli walked away angrily.

Bian Yue, unprepared, encountered him right outside the study door.

The anger on Shen Zhaoli’s face hadn’t had a chance to be concealed, and upon seeing Bian Yue’s stern expression, he paused before asking, "Bian Yue, what are you doing here?"

Bian Yue said she had just come back and saw the light in the study; she didn’t mean to eavesdrop...

Before she could finish, Shen Jinci had already come out of the study, took her hand, and they headed upstairs.

Bian Yue instinctively looked back at Shen Zhaoli’s departing figure, saying, "Shen Zhaoli is still here..."

"He can find his way back on his own," replied Shen Jinci in a calm and gentle voice, with no trace of the prior coldness.

Bian Yue lowered her head, observing Shen Jinci’s fingers clasped around her wrist.

Long, pale, and beautiful like a work of art, carrying a hint of warmth.

He held her tightly, with no intention of letting go.

The two of them entered the bedroom without a word, and only after the bedroom door closed did Bian Yue softly say, "Shen Jinci, you never told me that those lawyers were from Lixing, nor did you mention that this would put you in a difficult position..."
