After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 171: Target of Public Criticism

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Target of Public Criticism

Bian Yue finished speaking, looking up at Shen Jinci with unease and helplessness spreading in her eyes.

Shen Jinci pinched Bian Yue’s face and whispered, "Yueyue, why do you think I didn’t tell you about these things?"

Bian Yue naturally responded, "Because you don’t want me to worry."

"Is there a possibility that to me, those things are not important?" Shen Jinci spoke in his usual calm tone, looking down at Bian Yue with an even softer voice, "Yueyue, I don’t know how much you overheard at the study’s door, but I can assure you that the things Shen Zhaoli talked about, I don’t care about them."

"You care about me," Bian Yue blurted out subconsciously.

After speaking, she felt embarrassed, biting her lip and blushing.

Shen Jinci’s eyes held a smile, tender and focused on her, he sighed lightly and said, "Yes, I care about you."

Bian Yue thought, Shen Jinci was telling the truth.

But...

"You really don’t have to lend me Lixing’s lawyers. I can find good lawyers too, Shen Jinci... I don’t want my problems to cause you trouble, even though I know it’s inevitable... but I still want to try to minimize the impact."

"Yueyue, lending you the legal team wasn’t because I think you couldn’t find better ones, I just want to show everyone my stance. If it concerns you, I won’t sit idly by," Shen Jinci said as he straightened the stray hairs by Bian Yue’s ear, his expression focused and tender, his voice affectionate, "Now, let’s rest first, alright?"

Bian Yue agreed, pausing before adding, "It seems like..."

"Seems like what?"

Bian Yue blinked, masking her nervousness, "It seems like I haven’t been to your bedroom. Tomorrow night, I want to take a look."

"Of course, you can. If you like it, we can move and stay in my bedroom," Shen Jinci said with a smile in his eyes, bending down to kiss the corner of Bian Yue’s lips, "Would that make Yueyue happier?"

Bian Yue nodded, her heartbeat quickening.

She felt like she was slowly learning how to love someone, not hysterically, nor with tears and breakdowns.

There would be someone who stands by her side unconditionally, at all costs.

The morning light was faint, filtering through the gaps in the curtains.

Feeling drowsy, Bian Yue subconsciously curled up in Shen Jinci’s arms, her eyes drooping sleepily, calling his name, "Shen Jinci."

"I’m here."

"After we get through this busy period, can we go on a trip?" Bian Yue asked, "We haven’t properly gone out to have fun together yet."

"Where does Yueyue want to go?"

Bian Yue pondered for a moment, "I don’t know, I want to go somewhere quiet."

"I’ll think about it," Shen Jinci gently patted Bian Yue’s back, coaxing her to sleep, "Sleep now."

Only then did Bian Yue truly close her eyes, falling into a dream...

As the trailer for "Shengshi Yan" created buzz online, Yao Yimin and the male lead in the drama, Song Wei, also climbed up the trending searches with their rumored romance.

Regardless of its authenticity, this incident evidently helped "Shengshi Yan" gain another boost in popularity.

After all, this was the first time a scandal about Yao Yimin hit the news since her debut.

Inside the nanny car, Yao Yimin calmly looked at the controversies on the trending searches with a slight smile on her lips, "True to what Bian Yue said, public opinion can easily change, all it takes is just one night."

"Now everyone on the internet is discussing whether your romance with Song Wei is real or fake. The leaked photos from before are now being spun as a preview."

The agent was quite emotional, "I didn’t expect Bian Yue to actually turn public opinion around overnight, but... Yimin, are you sacrificing too much by playing along with the speculation for this drama?"

"It’s not much of a sacrifice." Yao Yimin calmly put down her phone, her smile undiminished, "If Bian Yue needs it, I’ll just follow suit. I trust her decisions."

"How come you trust her so much when you haven’t known her for long?" The agent was a bit jealous, "We’ve known each other for so many years now, and this is the first time I’ve seen you put so much trust in someone."

Yao Yimin clasped her phone tightly, softly saying, "In this circle, people like Bian Yue are rare..."

The implication of her words was deep and ambiguous, making it indistinct to the listener...

Zhuang Jie Ning also didn’t expect that just one night had passed, and the public opinion crisis she had created had been resolved like this.

Yet she had no time to ponder further, as she sat in the boardroom office of the Fengcheng Group, waiting for the imminent meeting to begin.

Zhuang Jie Ning sat down, looking at Li Sihe’s coughing figure as she concealed her clenched fists, angrily saying, "Your health has deteriorated to this point, yet you’re still cleaning up Bian Yue’s mess?"

"I’m not here to clean up for Bian Yue, I’m tidying up after you," Li Sihe retorted coldly but with a hint of concern, "Do you know what I received this morning, aside from the lawyer’s letter from Honey?"

Li Sihe’s tone was cold, but it sent a chill down Zhuang Jie Ning’s spine.

Zhuang Jie Ning looked at Li Sihe, somewhat uneasy, "What else could you have received?"

"A termination contract from Lixing."

Zhuang Jie Ning’s eyes widened, "What did you say? Shen Jinci breaking the contract now is a violation!"

"Shen Jinci doesn’t care, but my father does." Li Sihe looked coldly at Zhuang Jie Ning, tossing a stack of contracts onto the table, "Once the meeting is over, go explain it to my father yourself..."

Zhuang Jie Ning was still not ready to give up, she said through gritted teeth in a low voice, "Does Shen Jinci not know what Bian Yue has done? His actions now must be encouraged by Bian Yue!"

Li Sihe looked at Zhuang Jie Ning expressionlessly, regarding her self-talk as the ramblings of obsession.

"If you weren’t the daughter of the Zhuang Family, you would have disappeared long ago, Zhuang Jie Ning, do you understand what I’m saying?" Li Sihe pinched the bridge of his nose, no longer willing to speak another word to Zhuang Jie Ning.

Zhuang Jie Ning’s face turned deathly pale, she picked up the documents on the table and began to read.

The more she read, the more she was shocked, her hand holding the documents trembling...

Li Sihe hadn’t lied to her.

"Termination... If Shen Jinci terminates the contract now, how is he going to explain it to the board of Lixing Group?" Zhuang Jie Ning spoke resentfully, "How could he... How could he so recklessly help Bian Yue... He’s the decision-maker of Lixing... he..."

Finally, Li Sihe ran out of patience, interrupting Zhuang Jie Ning’s self-talk, "He doesn’t care about those people, he only has to answer to Bian Yue. Do you understand that?"

Zhuang Jie Ning didn’t even know how this emergency meeting had been convened.

All she remembered was those board members looking at her with discontented eyes.

The failed collaboration between Lixing and Fengcheng was damaging everyone’s interests.

And now, she, Zhuang Jie Ning, was seen as the chief culprit.

It wasn’t until everyone had left that Zhuang Jie Ning, bathed in a cold sweat, collapsed into her chair, belatedly realizing she might have gone too far.

She looked at Li Sihe fearfully, grasping his hand, her voice trembling, "Li Sihe, I am your fiancée, you can’t ignore me, you can’t let me become the target of everyone’s attacks."
