Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Pierced by Ten Thousand Arrows
Li Sihe thought that his understanding of Bian Yue’s true nature was like looking at flowers through the fog, lacking much straightforwardness.
Bian Yue was far more heartless than he had imagined.
But six years ago, during the continuous rain in Xiangjiang, when Bian Yue was led by him into the Li Family’s hall, she appeared so fragile and helpless.
Under the bright lights as white as daylight, she looked up at him, her eyes as bright as the daylight distinctly different from the rainy weather outside, she asked, "How is your name written?"
He then asked someone to bring over some paper, holding the girl’s hand, he wrote down "Li Sihe" stroke by stroke on the well-prepared rice paper in tiny regular script.
"This is how it is written." He looked down at Bian Yue, the young girl was learning seriously, her expression solemn, so his face softened and he said in a gentle voice, "If you encounter anything in the future, tell me, I will take care of you."
Bian Yue was clearly moved by his words, the brightness in her eyes remained, but now with a ripple of surprised and anxious emotions, her eyes as clear as water, looking at him.
"Can I come to you for anything...?"
"Anything at all."
Then came the family portrait shoot; Li Tingmo arrived with Tang Yuwei, along with other elders of the Li Family.
Tang Yuwei looked at Bian Yue with sympathy, speaking softly and gently, like the tenderest mother, she said, "Bian Yue, this will be your home from now on, shall we take a family portrait together?"
16-year-old Bian Yue, so easily deceived.
All of her defenses were left at the Bian Family’s memorial hall, the public declaration of being orphaned left her completely vulnerable.
She was so desperate for protection, hence her eyes clear, her expression resolute, she said, "Alright."
Then, she clutched the corner of her clothes.
In that moment, she called out his name for the first time, unskilled and awkward, but every word was clear, she said, "Li Sihe, I want to stand with you."
Her life was already at a dead end, at the moment he threw her a lifeline, she grasped it tightly without hesitation.
Li Sihe, as if possessed by some specter, reminisced about the past, walking to the end of the corridor.
The family portrait still hung there, Bian Yue with a little white flower pinned on, timidly looking towards the camera.
And so, his heart was struck, in great pain.
Shi An’an’s voice arose unwelcomingly disturbing the atmosphere.
"Ah Hen...it’s so late, why did you suddenly want to see me, is there...is there something?"
Shi An’an’s tone was meek and weak, with a forced calm, she said, "I heard you wanted to see me, and I came back overnight, Ah Hen...don’t turn your back on me and say nothing..."
Shi An’an watched the back of Li Sihe, and the family portrait hanging on the wall.
Hadn’t Bian Yue already left the Li Family?
Even Li Tingmo had already used himself to punish Bian Yue.
What was wrong with Li Sihe? Why still such nostalgia.
This nostalgic posture was truly irksome.
In the photo, that innocent, vulnerable Bian Yue, even more glaring.
Shi An’an’s heart kept being struck repeatedly, finally understanding what excruciating pain meant.
Li Sihe, in her almost despairing demeanor, slowly turned around, and with a single sentence, pushed her into hell.
Li Sihe said, "Shi An’an, leave Gang City, you can go anywhere you want, and from now on, never come back."
He planned to send himself into exile.
On this night of torrential rain.
He wouldn’t even provide himself a reason.
Shi An’an felt her sincere heart was just a joke.
Her tears fell, unable to contain herself, she asked, "What did Bian Yue tell you? Why be so ruthless?"
"I’ve warned you," the man’s voice was cool and thin, his refined and elegant demeanor had vanished, leaving only the coldest core as he said, "I warned you a long time ago not to mess with Bian Yue."
An An finally understood what it meant to be heartless.
Her legs seemed to lose strength in an instant, and then her body uncontrollably crashed to the ground.
In a flash, all the emotions in An An’s eyes emptied.
She was utterly lifeless.
She felt a thousand swords piercing her heart.
The next day, during the day, Bian Yue, as she wished, heard from Anny that An An had left the film crew.
"Isn’t it strange, An An just left suddenly."
In the lounge, Anny biting on a piece of bread, sat on the sofa and looked at Bian Yue: "President Bian, did you ask Mr. Shen to ban her?"
Bian Yue didn’t think she and Shen Jinci were in a relationship that could bother each other.
Their relationship was merely a marriage out of a cooperative deal.
The matter of An An, Bian Yue never thought to tell Shen Jinci.
Besides, she was confident that after the phone call last night, with the threats she used, the Li Family would definitely compromise.
Li Sihe, of course, liked An An; if not, he wouldn’t have cheated.
But, Li Sihe was also inherently calm enough to assess whether his indulgence and fondness for An An were worth it if crazy enough.
The biggest mistake of An An was not understanding that in Li Sihe’s eyes, the interests of the Li Family were paramount, and if she really wanted mutual destruction, that was not what the Li Family wanted to see.
"Why would I have Shen Jinci ban her?" Bian Yue leaned back in the sofa, her tone indifferent, "I don’t care whether she is popular or not, I just want her not to disturb my life."
"But..." Anny took another bite of her bread, "But what if Mr. Shen comes back and finds out that Li Sihe banned An An, will he think he did it because of you, and be jealous?"
Bian Yue choked, coughing violently.
"Hey, I was just saying, why such a big reaction!" Anny hurriedly gave Bian Yue a bottle of water, "Drink some water first."
Taking the bottle, Bian Yue gulped down a few sips, then spoke as she recovered, "Why are you talking about ghost stories? Shen Jinci wouldn’t be jealous because of me."
"Alright, alright, my bad!" Anny grinned, elongating her tone: "Anyway, now you don’t have to withdraw your investment, ’Shengshi Yan’ can continue filming, just need to find a new lead actress, everything is sorted!"
Bian Yue asked Anny if she found someone suitable.
Anny mentioned she was looking, asking what type of lead actress Bian Yue preferred.
As they were talking, a slightly chubby and fair-skinned girl walked in.
It was Yang Shan’s agent, Xiang Cheng.
Xiang Cheng said, "President Bian, Shan Shan is choosing costumes in the warehouse, she wants you to come and have a look."
Bian Yue thought of Yang Shan’s pale face from last night, her brow furrowing, "She came to work today? Didn’t I tell her to rest properly at the hotel first?"
"I also don’t know what she was thinking," Xiang Cheng said helplessly, "Maybe it’s because she finally got such a big production, so she dared not slack off."
Bian Yue said, then I’ll go take a look at her.
The warehouse was usually deserted; as Bian Yue entered, she saw a mess of items strewn on the floor but didn’t see Yang Shan.
It was dim inside and hard to see clearly; Bian Yue tentatively called out, "Yang Shan, are you in there?"
No one answered.
Bian Yue had a bad feeling and suddenly turned around attempting to leave.
But the door, which was initially wide open, suddenly slammed shut.
Accompanied by a loud bang, the entire warehouse plunged into suffocating darkness.
Bian Yue had a secret; she suffered from severe claustrophobia.
