Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Call Me Sister-in-Law

Shen Zhaoli didn’t react at first, unsure of who the woman in front of him was.

"Who are you, and who let you into my ward?" Shen Zhaoli frowned impatiently, "Get out!"

Bian Yue looked at the man in front of her. No matter how suave he normally appeared in his suit and radiated a strong presence, right now he sat on the hospital bed with a grumpy face and a cast, which really undercut any sense of intimidation. He looked more like a big golden retriever instead.

Bian Yue walked in unfazed and casually shut the door behind her.

Shen Zhaoli was so furious that he sat up, "Who are you? Don’t you understand human language? I told you to get out!"

"You said at the board meeting that you wanted to see me, right? Here I am sitting here, and now you want me to leave?" Bian Yue sat down beside Shen Zhaoli.

Initially surprised, Shen Zhaoli then sized up Bian Yue, and scoffed disdainfully, "You? You’re the one Shen Jinci is desperately trying to marry?"

Bian Yue really didn’t understand where Shen Zhaoli’s ’desperately’ came from.

It was actually her, desperately wanting to marry Shen Jinci.

Bian Yue couldn’t be bothered to explain. She looked at Shen Zhaoli, "Going by your looks, you must be quite young, right?"

True to form for a talent scout, used to scrutinizing all sorts of faces, her gaze was sharp.

The expression on Shen Zhaoli’s face faltered for a moment as he coughed to cover it up, "What does that have to do with you?"

Bian Yue impatiently brushed back the hair from Shen Zhaoli’s forehead.

Shen Zhaoli jumped back in fright, his striking features filled with terror, "You and Shen Jinci really are a match made in heaven! Birds of a feather flock together! How dare you lay a hand on me!"

Bian Yue thought disdainfully, Shen Zhaoli’s judgment really wasn’t great; she hadn’t even shared a bed with Shen Jinci yet.

She took a closer look at Shen Zhaoli’s face, nodded appreciatively - it must be said, his face really was perfect for an idol.

Another thing that must be mentioned, he really was young.

"You’re not even 20, are you?" Bian Yue calmly concluded.

Shen Zhaoli felt a tingling sensation in his scalp, scoffing coldly at Bian Yue, "Don’t make assumptions about me here! Let me tell you, I am now the president of a listed company, a well-known venture capitalist in the Bay Area! You...."

Shen Zhaoli hadn’t finished speaking when Bian Yue already slapped him on the back of his head.

"Shut up! What a load of nonsense!"

Shen Zhaoli was stunned, his eyes turning red with anger as he looked at Bian Yue.

Bian Yue believed that if it weren’t for the cast preventing him from getting out of bed, Shen Zhaoli would definitely start a fight with her.

"You said your name is Bian Yue, right?"

"Yes."

"Bian Yue!" Shen Zhaoli’s lips turned white with anger, "You dare to hit me!"

"You publicly made things hard for your own brother at the board meeting, I went easy on you. If it weren’t for the fact you’re a patient, I would have hit you more."

Bian Yue sat down and grabbed a starfruit from the table, "By the way, do you want some fruit? I’ll wash it for you."

Shen Zhaoli leaned back on his pillow again.

Following Bian Yue’s words, his eyes instinctively glanced at the starfruit before quickly looking away, disdainfully saying, "Who would want to eat that crap! It’s annoying just to look at!"

Bian Yue wiped the starfruit with a tissue and placed it in Shen Zhaoli’s hand, "Just eat it, stop fussing."

Shen Zhaoli pursed his lips, pinching the starfruit, his beautiful face and pout poisoned, "Don’t think that just a starfruit will make me thank you!"

Bian Yue didn’t want to quibble with a brat.

"Do you really hate Shen Jinci that much?"

Shen Zhaoli sneered, "Of course, otherwise why would I make him upset? Bian Yue, do you know Shen Jinci is really sick?"

Bian Yue acknowledged she knew.

"Then why don’t you divorce him? Want to be a widow in vigil? What type do you like? I know many young elites, let me introduce you to them?"

Bian Yue looked at Shen Zhaoli with amusement, "You just want to oppose Shen Jinci, don’t you?"

"What else?" Shen Zhaoli sneered more intensely, "Why else would I return to the country! Xiangjiang is such a terrible place with few good days throughout the year. If it wasn’t to annoy Shen Jinci, I wouldn’t have come back!"

Bian Yue fell silent for a long time.

Shen Zhaoli smirked proudly, quite childishly, and said, "What? Did I scare you?"

"I lost both my parents when I was 17, I know what it’s like to depend on others for support."

Shen Zhaoli’s smile disappeared and he looked at Bian Yue expressionlessly.

Bian Yue looked directly at him, kindly and gently, "By opposing Shen Jinci like this, he will not accept you as his brother. If you want to catch his attention, you might try another way."

After Bian Yue finished speaking, she saw Shen Zhaoli’s face turn visibly red.

Bian Yue knew she had hit the mark.

"It takes a long time to recover from a broken leg, doesn’t it?" Bian Yue blinked and said with a smile, "Shen Zhaoli, just call me sister-in-law, and I reluctantly agree to occasionally come and visit you."

Shen Zhaoli was so angry his breathing intensified. He pointed towards the door, "Please leave right now!"

Bian Yue couldn’t stop laughing, stood up and said, "Alright, I’m leaving first."

Shen Zhaoli’s eyes shifted, seeing Bian Yue really getting up, his aura weakened, and he hesitated.

Bian Yue bent over to look at Shen Zhaoli, her expression serious, she said, "I have something I want to tell you."

Shen Zhaoli asked what it was.

Bian Yue said, "Meeting you, truly is... like finding a soft persimmon."

As Bian Yue was leaving, she could still hear Shen Zhaoli cursing her from his bed.

Bian Yue felt very happy.

She had thought he was some tough big shot.

Turns out he is a big shot, but not tough at all, even quite childish.

Bian Yue didn’t know the backstory between Shen Zhaoli and Shen Jinci, it wasn’t good to meddle or lecture.

But calming Shen Zhaoli’s emotions, to prevent him from doing something that would further damage Shen Jinci’s reputation, was necessary.

Bian Yue was walking in the hospital corridor, about to leave, when she suddenly heard an uncertain voice from behind.

"Is... that Bian Yue?"

Bian Yue turned around and saw Zhuang Jie Ning, who she hadn’t seen for many years.

So thirty minutes later, in the underground parking lot, inside the car.

Bian Yue and Zhuang Jie Ning sat side by side, Zhuang Jie Ning’s smile warm and proper, as she praised, "It’s been two years, Bian Yue, you’ve become even more beautiful."

"Jie Ning, how have you been abroad these past two years?" Bian Yue asked lightly, "What suddenly made you think of returning to the country?"

"People always need to return to their roots, always drifting abroad isn’t ideal."

As Zhuang Jie Ning said this, she took Bian Yue’s hand, feeling very guilty, "I didn’t reply to your messages back then because I was really too busy, Yueyue, you wouldn’t blame me, right?"

Bian Yue sighed inwardly.

She didn’t believe in mending broken ties.

But after all, there were old times and relations, so she couldn’t just show a cold face, she said, "I don’t blame you, after all, it’s been so long."

"It’s good that you don’t blame me. Bian Yue, now that I’m back, I won’t leave again. Let’s be the best of friends like before, okay?"

Bian Yue saw the hopeful look in Zhuang Jie Ning’s eyes.

But Bian Yue couldn’t lie to her, "Wen Jiao is my best friend."

Zhuang Jie Ning’s smile stiffened momentarily, then she said dejectedly, "Bian Yue, you actually do blame me, don’t you? For going abroad and then never contacting you again."
