Chapter 182: Chapter 182: The Only Family

Bian Yue smiled gently, leisurely watching Li Tingmo: "Do you feel guilty about scheming against my parents?"

Li Tingmo angrily looked at Bian Yue, his tone suddenly turning cold in the face of her accusation: "Bian Yue, is this how you speak to your elders?"

"Elders? Yes, you are my elder, and for many years, I have respected you, never disobeying. I thought about the kindness you showed me by raising me, the kindness of the Li Family, and I never even thought about saying ’no’ to you." Bian Yue’s smile faded, and she looked expressionlessly at Li Tingmo: "But now, I know why you adopted me, and you also know why I’m sitting here today. Let’s not talk about the term ’elder’ anymore."

Li Tingmo looked resolutely at Bian Yue, he sighed lightly as if in difficulty and spoke in a low voice: "Bian Yue... I’ve wanted to talk to you for a long time. But I know, you’ve greatly misunderstood me now, and no matter what I say, you won’t listen. You sent Feng Cheng a lawyer’s letter; I understand your intention. I don’t want to explain, I just want to ask, how can I get you to drop the lawsuit?"

Bian Yue’s expression was cold, "Can you hold a press conference and admit that back then you schemed against my parents, which led to the Bian Family’s tragedy? If you can do that, I might consider dropping the lawsuit."

Li Tingmo’s frown deepened, "This is you making things difficult. There were difficulties for everyone involved back then; I didn’t intend to cause your parents’ death. It was tough in the business world. Bian Yue, now that you are also doing business, don’t you understand my difficulties?"

"Your difficulties?" Bian Yue scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm: "Do your difficulties require my parents’ lives as payment? Don’t you have to pay a price?"

"Bian Yue! Your parents’ deaths were an accident. It was just an unfortunate partnership, you can’t pin the label of a murderer on me." Li Tingmo stood up and walked towards Bian Yue, his eyes deep as he gazed at her.

"Now that you are fully capable, relying on the affection of Shen Jinci, you challenge me here, talking about the Bian Family and the price to be paid; isn’t it just because Shen Jinci loves you?" Li Tingmo pulled at the corners of his lips, revealing a sarcastic smile: "Have you ever asked Shen Jinci, by covering up the whole situation, causing Lixing and Feng Cheng to completely sever ties, whether there are any dissenting voices in the Lixing board? He is being so autocratic nowadays, how many are discontented with him?"

Bian Yue’s expression tightened, as the words of Li Tingmo figuratively stabbed her in the chest.

She clenched her fists, slowly saying, "This is a matter between my husband and me, it’s none of your concern."

"Between you and your husband? Bian Yue, Shen Jinci is not just your husband, he also speaks for Lixing. Your current actions are undoubtedly putting him on the firing line. Have you ever thought about Shen Jinci’s position? To this day, have you considered his stance? No, you’re only thinking about yourself. Isn’t this selfish?" Li Tingmo steered the conversation, his voice low: "It’s not too late to turn back now, you’re still my foster daughter, and the Li Family will always be your family!"

"The Li Family is not my home!" Bian Yue suddenly stood up, her eyes red: "The Li Family adopted me, wasn’t it for my inheritance? Everyone should be prepared for the current situation. Li Tingmo, just bear with it. We’ll see you in court."

Bian Yue said and strode out.

Li Tingmo called after her, his tone even colder: "Bian Yue, do you think that you have nothing left in this world, so you can do whatever you want?"

Bian Yue abruptly stopped, and the two were unmistakably estranged. She looked at Li Tingmo with a cold expression, "What do you mean?"

"Yes, your parents are dead, for many years you’ve been alone. Now, to make yourself feel better, you must see me as the enemy responsible for your parents’ death. I don’t blame you, but don’t you want to know if you have any relatives left in this world?"

Bian Yue’s expression turned icy cold, her hands clenched into fists, each word biting: "Those people from Bian Family are not my relatives, neither are you!"

"Those people from the Bian Family indeed are not, but what about Bian Shu? Your cousin, Bian Shu?" Li Tingmo exposed a mysteriously mocking smile, softly tempting: "Isn’t she your relative?"

Tears suddenly fell from Bian Yue’s eyes, her face pale as if in disbelief, "What are you saying?"

"I’m saying, Bian Shu, don’t you want to see her?"

Bian Yue’s mind went blank, standing frozen in place, as Li Tingmo confidently approached her.

"Your cousin, Bian Shu, a young prodigy, you studied the piano hard because you admired her, do you remember?" Li Tingmo walked up to Bian Yue and examined her emotionally stirred face, "Bian Yue, I know where she is. She’s not dead; she’s still alive."

"I watched my cousin being buried..." Bian Yue’s throat moved rapidly, her face even more astonished and helpless, staring fixedly at Li Tingmo, her voice decisive: "She died when I was 13."

"She didn’t die, she’s still alive. Bian Yue, don’t you want to see her?"

"..."

"I know you won’t believe me by just saying this, but...if you agree, after you meet Bian Shu, you’ll drop the lawsuit, I can take you to see her." Li Tingmo stood nonchalantly, he smirked, speaking steadily: "Bian Yue, you have to think carefully, she may be your only relative left in this world."

Bian Yue knew, there must be deceit in Li Tingmo’s words.

But...but if Bian Shu really is still alive...

Bian Yue didn’t speak, she walked out of the Li residence with mixed emotions.

Just as she left, Li Sihe finally appeared from a corner.

He was dressed in black, which made his complexion look even more pallid and frail.

His dark eyes watched the direction Bian Yue had left, remaining silent for a long while.

Li Tingmo scoffed, annoyed: "Who would have thought, such a small matter still requires me to personally intervene, Li Sihe, in the seven years, how have you been educating Bian Yue, making her so rebellious?"

"What could I teach her?" Li Sihe smiled faintly, his tone indifferent: "She has always grown according to her own heart."

Li Tingmo watched Li Sihe’s frail figure and frowned, stating: "In any case, once Bian Yue sees Bian Shu, she will definitely drop the lawsuit, and the cooperation between the Shen and Li Families will continue as usual."

Li Sihe furrowed his eyebrows, his tone complex: "Why do you think Shen Jinci will still cooperate?"
