Chapter 51: Chapter 51: A Fight to the Death

Shen Jinci raised his hand, pointing to his face, "If you kiss me now, I’ll wire you an extra ten million every month."

Bian Yue was so stunned by Shen Jinci’s words that she couldn’t speak for a while.

But the smile in the man’s eyes grew even deeper as he subtly moved closer to Bian Yue, his voice becoming softer, "How about it? Isn’t it a good deal?"

Bian Yue blushed and pushed Shen Jinci away, saying, "Forget it! It’s not appropriate!"

"Alright, then forget it." Shen Jinci flipped through the document. "Take a look at these terms you have to abide by, and see if there’s any problem."

Only then did Bian Yue realize that she had looked through the document too quickly earlier and had missed a lot of content.

The entire page was densely packed with over a dozen demands.

"Party B must return home by midnight if there’s no affair, and unless it’s an accident or a special circumstance, cannot stay out overnight?"

Bian Yue read it softly to herself, then looked at Shen Jinci with confusion.

Shen Jinci’s expression remained calm, "If you’re photographed staying out overnight, it will affect the stock price of Lixing."

"Fine...Second clause, Party B cannot date men, and cannot have romantic relationships during the marriage."

"That’s also to..."

"To avoid affecting the stock price of Lixing, right!" Bian Yue finished the sentence for Shen Jinci.

She quickly glanced over the remaining terms; most of them were related to emotional restrictions.

"I can do all of these, don’t worry. During our marriage, I won’t do anything to wrong you, and about the living expenses you give me, once I get my inheritance, I’ll repay you with interest."

Bian Yue picked up a pen that lay nearby and briskly wrote down her name.

After she finished writing, she closed the document and handed it to Shen Jinci, "There’s just one thing I don’t understand."

"What’s that?"

"Why are you so afraid of me falling in love?" Bian Yue earnestly said, "Mr. Shen, as you’ve just mentioned, Zhuang Jie Ning wants to seduce you. With you parading before me every day, how could I have eyes for any other man?"

Shen Jinci knew that Bian Yue was just making a playful remark, but he couldn’t deny that he enjoyed it.

"Well, here’s to hoping our collaboration goes smoothly."

Shen Jinci extended his hand. Bian Yue smiled and shook it vigorously.

"Smoothly indeed!"

At Li Family’s house at this moment, Li Sihe had just awoken from a nightmare.

His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he silently looked out the window at the relentless rain.

Shi An’an came in holding a lamp. She stood barefooted at the entrance, looking bewildered and softly said, "Ah Hen...there was thunder just now, I’m scared."

"Get out."

"Ah Hen..."

"Shi An’an, I don’t like to repeat myself," Li Sihe said unsympathetically, "You’ll be leaving the country tomorrow; rest early."

Shi An’an knew that Li Sihe was ruthless.

But she had no way to retreat.

Holding the lamp, Shi An’an walked up to Li Sihe.

The light shone on her, and her face was as translucent as porcelain, beautiful and moving.

She put down the lamp, looked at the man leaning against the pillow with a pale complexion, "I heard that the room I’m staying in now is right across from where Bian Yue used to live."

Li Sihe finally looked at her coldly, "Don’t wander around."

Shi An’an gave a bitter smile, "I won’t wander. I know you detest me touching Bian Yue’s things, you feel in your heart that I’m not worthy of touching them, right?"

After finishing her words, she squatted by the bed, tilted her face upward, and looked at Li Sihe with innocence, "Ah Hen, I’m leaving tomorrow, won’t you even say one kind word to me?"

"You being able to leave alive is already the extent of my benevolence and righteousness, Shi An’an, one must learn to be content."

"Um," Shi An’an’s expression was calm as she listened to the lecture, suddenly she smiled towards Li Sihe, her voice even more composed: "Then... Ah Hen, are you content? Now that Bian Yue is not by your side, are you content?"

Li Sihe’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Shi An’an.

Shi An’an still maintained an innocent demeanor.

She put on a smile, with a longing tone: "If you don’t like to hear it, I’ll stop talking. Ah Hen, after tomorrow, I won’t be able to see you again, so I want to look at you a bit more."

Li Sihe pinched the bridge of his nose, patience long exhausted, he spoke with a deep, cold indifference: "Get out."

A certain emotion appeared in Shi An’an’s eyes, shaking violently, she seemed desperate, and finally started to cry with a smile, as she slowly rose to her feet.

She walked out like a walking corpse.

No one could have anticipated that Shi An’an would set fire to Bian Yue’s former room.

Black smoke billowed from underneath the door, and in the deep night, when the flames soared into the sky, everything became starkly clear.

Shi An’an stood at the end of the corridor, watching the chaotic scramble of people rushing to the door, and finally couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

She had long decided to bring about mutual destruction with the Li Family.

She had thought it through very early on.

Shi An’an saw Li Sihe rushing over from a distance, he was so frantic that he hadn’t even put on shoes, and was about to dash into the bedroom.

"Young master! You can’t go in there! The fire is too fierce!" Someone hurriedly stopped Li Sihe, desperately grabbing him from behind and said in terror: "Young master! Go wait in your room; we’ll handle this!"

"All of Bian Yue’s things are inside!" Li Sihe’s voice carried desolate despair, as if in an instant, his backbone had been bent, that kind of shock and pain unable to be calmed.

A surge of vengeful satisfaction suddenly flowed through Shi An’an’s heart.

It’s just a pity that her revenge was far from over.

Shi An’an turned around and headed downstairs.

She dialed Bian Yue’s number.

"Bian Yue, I have some of the Bian Family’s old possessions, and I want to personally hand them over to you, but I want you to come alone to see me. If you don’t come, I’ll burn these things."

After saying that, she hung up crisply.

Shi An’an stood at the entrance of the Li Family, looking up at the blaze that was so scorching and blinding in the rainy night.

"Li Sihe, you shouldn’t have treated me this way." She spoke, her voice light as if whispering.

Having said that, without a trace of lingering attachment, she turned and left.

This moment’s disarray was her only chance to leave the Li Family...

At 5 a.m., at Victoria Harbor’s abandoned dock, a ten-story building stood on the waterfront, declared defunct.

This place used to be the busiest port in Xiangjiang, but now, a new port has already been built, reportedly a feat of the Wen Family, thus this port was naturally abandoned, rarely visited by anyone.

Shi An’an held a photograph, sitting on an iron chair on the top floor, watching Bian Yue accompanied by two bodyguards coming up.

When Bian Yue received Shi An’an’s call, Shen Jinci was not at home. She asked the housekeeper to inform Shen Jinci that she had to go out for something important, and then left with the bodyguards.

Holding her cellphone tightly, her expression anxious, when she looked at Shi An’an that instant, her anxiousness turned into a chill: "Shi An’an, what on earth do you want to do!"

Shi An’an pulled out a lighter and lit a cigarette for herself.

Her expression was calm, as she threw a stack of files onto the ground.

"These are the precise accounts of the Bian Family’s group bankruptcy liquidation process; you might find it interesting to take a look." Shi An’an sneered, then added lightly: "However, I’ve already looked through them, there’s nothing suspicious."

Bian Yue was on her guard, "How could you have gotten these?"
