Chapter 25: Chapter 24: Unexpected

So it was here that she was waiting for herself.

Bian Yue looked at Shi An’an’s indignant expression, her own voice calm, "Are you doing all these things to scheme against me?"

Shi An’an sneered, a look of self-righteous triumph on her face, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, Bian Yue. It’s now you! It’s your friend who brought me here and humiliated me. Who do you think Li Sihe would believe?"

Bian Yue nodded, very reasonable, "He would believe you."

Shi An’an’s expression became even more triumphant.

Pan Ni then came to realize that Shi An’an had been so obedient since she came in because she had a plan of her own.

She thought she was cleaning up Shi An’an for Bian Yue, but she actually became a knife in Shi An’an’s hand.

Pan Ni looked at Shi An’an angrily, "Shi An’an, have you no shame?"

"Shame?" Shi An’an looked around at this group of upper-class ladies born with silver spoons, clenched her fists, "You were born with faces! So people like me deserve to be trampled on by you! What’s wrong with just falling in love with someone?"

Bian Yue was expressionless, she walked up to Shi An’an.

Shi An’an looked frightened.

"What are you trying to do? Bian Yue! Shiheng will be here soon, and he will only think you are malicious!"

Pan Ni and Wen Jiao pulled at Bian Yue from either side, Pan Ni looking guilty, "Miss Bian, don’t... bother with this woman, rest assured, I won’t implicate you, if Young Master Li really comes, I’ll tell him it has nothing to do with you."

Bian Yue just looked at Shi An’an, that delicate face now full of disarray, still defiant.

"Shi An’an, I thought I made it clear last time, we originally had no deep hatred, all in all, it was just for a man. You really are making an unnecessary move today, Li Sihe and I could never be possible."

Bian Yue gently broke free from Wen Jiao and Pan Ni’s grasp, she handed a towel to Shi An’an, and said lightly, "You leave now, before things get out of hand."

Shi An’an stared blankly at Bian Yue, resentful against her condescending stance, "What kind of tone is this? You think this is for my own good? Bian Yue, drop your pretentious demeanor!"

Shi An’an flung Bian Yue’s hand away; her eyes bloodshot, tears surging, "What do you know? You have no idea what kind of state Shiheng was reduced to by you! He fell seriously ill, and was so upset by hearing of your marriage today that he vomited blood! How could you do this to him!"

Bian Yue looked down at the handkerchief fallen on the floor.

Nothing more to say.

Regardless of the credibility of Shi An’an’s words, even if it was true, what could she do? It was Li Sihe who betrayed first, it was Li Sihe who chose to be strangers.

After a moment, Bian Yue said, "Send Shi An’an back to the Li Family, if there’s any blame from their side, let them speak directly to me."

Pan Ni looked uneasy, eyeing Bian Yue nervously with full guilt, "I was just too anxious, Miss Bian, don’t take everything upon yourself, this is my fault, I admit it!"

"You all stop deluding yourselves!" Shi An’an sneered, looking around at everyone, "This won’t end so easily! Wasn’t Miss Pan just very proud of herself for splashing wine on me a moment ago? I wonder how long you can keep that pride!"

Shi An’an was aggressively arrogant, forcing everyone to speculate about her position in Li Sihe’s heart.

At this tense moment, the door was pushed open again. Outside stood Li Sihe, with a tight expression.

Since their last parting at the ancestral hall, Bian Yue had not seen Li Sihe again.

An An said he was seriously ill, and which Bian Yue observed his pale eyebrows and eyes, made it somewhat believable.

As soon as An An saw Li Sihe, it was like seeing a lifeline, she cried and rushed up to hug the man tightly.

"Shiheng... I... I just wanted to persuade Miss Bian to visit the Li Family to see you, and then... then her friend shamed me like this!" An An’s eyes were red-rimmed, on the verge of tears, clutching tightly Li Sihe’s suit hem, and sobbed uncontrollably, "I didn’t expect Miss Bian would treat me this way..."

Bian Yue met Li Sihe’s gaze.

His face was still gentle, his peach blossom eyes looked affectionate, but his expression was too indifferent, hard to guess what he was thinking.

It was unclear how long it took, until he spoke, Bian Yue heard his voice, bland and cold,

"Bian Yue, when did you become like this, bullying the weak?" Li Sihe frowned, his gaze scrutiny yet indifferent, "Or is it because your marriage with Shen Jinci has been decided, so you think you can bully others now?"

"Bully others?" Bian Yue mulled over these words, her expression vacant.

The ladies around didn’t dare to breathe heavily, seeing this situation, Li Sihe actually came to support An An.

It seemed, Bian Yue, this former fiancée, really had a suffocating time in the Li Family.

Wen Jiao’s face turned red with anger, disregarding offending Li Sihe, her tone angry: "When An An was brought in, both I and Bian Yue were not present! What does this have to do with Bian Yue! Mr. Li, Bian Yue has been with you for seven years, why are you questioning her for such a woman, what are you thinking!"

"Shiheng..." An An clung to the inscrutable Li Sihe, her voice tender and choked, "I’m cold, let’s go..."

Li Sihe pushed An An away.

He walked up to Bian Yue, Wen Jiao seeing his cold face, subconsciously protected Bian Yue behind her, "What are you trying to do? Bian Yue is Shen Jinci’s wife!"

Bian Yue is Shen Jinci’s wife.

This short sentence easily pricked the already taut nerves of Li Sihe.

And Bian Yue, fearing that Li Sihe in his anger might hurt Wen Jiao, she pushed away the Wen Jiao standing in front of her, and asked faintly, "Li Sihe, are you now standing up for An An, wanting me to apologize to her?"

"You could also let Shen Jinci stand up for you." Li Sihe sneered coldly, his gaze even colder, he emotionlessly stared at Bian Yue, his eyes full of mockery growing thicker, "Aren’t you choosing to marry Shen Jinci? I’m curious if Shen Jinci would come here for you!"

"You can stop wondering." Bian Yue frowned, looking coldly at the triumphant An An behind Li Sihe, "I will not apologize to her, this is absolutely impossible."

"What if I insist on your apology?" Li Sihe tugged at the corner of his lips, his smile not reaching his eyes, adding to the coldness, "Then how do you plan to deal with me?"

Bian Yue saw the obsession in Li Sihe’s expression.

He just wanted to make her lose face.

"Li Sihe," Bian Yue looked at him calmly, her question devoid of emotion, "Are you trying to get revenge on me?"

Li Sihe felt a tug at his heart, painfully.

His expression slightly changed, but he quickly returned to coldness, his elegant face frozen in chill, "I said, apologize to An An."

The next moment, the door was pushed open again.

A man’s voice came from afar, clear and icy, indifferent and bland, he said: "My wife, why should she apologize?"
