Chapter 56: She Has Grown Up

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: She Has Grown Up

Li Tingmo’s expression changed at once, seeing Shen Zhaoli standing by as a bystander, but he was clearly eavesdropping and could only swallow his anger and say: "This matter, you and I can find a time to talk it over properly. It was originally the Bian Family’s item, I won’t fail to return it to you."

Bian Yue said thank you.

Everyone left, leaving only Bian Yue and Shen Zhaoli standing at the doorway.

"Why would you help me?"

"I just really dislike those who put on airs, like Shen Jinci..."

A glance from Bian Yue left Shen Zhaoli speechless, exasperated: "Alright, alright, I can’t talk about your dear husband! I just detest how the Li Family uses their power to bully others, okay? You can think of me as a paragon of chivalry!"

Bian Yue somewhat revised her opinion of Shen Zhaoli.

Although this person was sharp-tongued and previously had a terrible falling out with Shen Jinci, his nature seemed rather genuine. Bian Yue wanted to find an opportunity to understand what the dispute between him and Shen Jinci was all about.

As she was pondering, a black business stretch Phantom stopped in front of the two.

"My, what taste, fancying such an old-fashioned thing?" Shen Zhaoli looked at Bian Yue with disdain, "Next time, I’ll show you my sports car and let you see what youth’s charm is all about!"

Bian Yue’s complexion subtly changed as she looked at the car in front of her. After a moment, she said in a low voice: "This isn’t my car..."

From the position next to the rear window, the man’s profile looked familiar.

Proud and elegant, with the nobility and mystery of the Middle Ages.

It was Li Sihe.

Indeed, Bai Xu got out from the passenger side and approached Bian Yue.

He had already seen Shen Zhaoli by Bian Yue’s side from within the car and now approached with a calm smile, saying: "Greetings, Young Master Shen."

Shen Zhaoli gave Bai Xu a once over, folding his arms and speaking with an indolent tone: "I’ll go wait over there."

After Shen Zhaoli walked away, Bai Xu spoke to Bian Yue in a gentle voice: "Miss Bian, the Young Master asked me to inform you that you should not visit the Li Family recently. If the Lord or Lady seeks you out next time, please inform the Young Master in advance. He will handle it."

Bian Yue looked at the closed car window in front of her and couldn’t help but laugh, "Doesn’t he have long legs? Can’t he speak to me himself? What’s the meaning of sending you to relay this? Is it an order?"

"Miss Bian, you know that the Young Master has always cared for you and would not want to order you around."

"The way things work in this world can be hard to articulate," Bian Yue said coldly, tugging the corner of her lips as she gazed towards the car window. "Pass on a few words to Li Sihe for me."

Bai Xu was already sweating bullets and, hearing Bian Yue’s tone, knew she wouldn’t have anything good to say, but he braced himself: "Please go ahead, Miss Bian."

"The matter of Shi An’an’s suicide has nothing to do with me, but it does with him. I had already set a requirement for Shi An’an to leave the Li Family, but he and his father insisted on dragging Shi An’an back into the abyss just to spurn me. He’s a smart man; he understands that a woman without power and influence, caught in a power struggle, has only a dead end if she can’t break her legs to survive."

Listening, Bai Xu felt terrified.

Bian Yue sneered and continued: "Shi An’an interfered in my relationship, I know she wasn’t any good, but I also don’t wish to be like a shrew fighting over a man out of jealousy. A man not worth it, I simply discard. Li Sihe doesn’t need to keep up this facade of tenderness now; he is the true culprit!"

Bai Xu wished he could kneel down to Bian Yue, if only she would stop talking.

"In the end, I just blame myself for not managing my fiancé in the past, letting him cuddle others right under my nose. Hence, the one person I can’t forgive now is him!"

"Miss Bian... please don’t go on," Bai Xu said, on the verge of tears, "If you continue, I really won’t dare to relay the message."

Bian Yue’s smile was composed, as she straightened her hair by her temples, her demeanor graceful, "One last thing, I’ll never forgive his betrayal. So please have him refrain from feigning concern in the future, it’s just hypocrisy to me!"

Bai Xu felt his head swell and his legs go weak as he wobbled back to the car.

Meanwhile, Bian Yue turned around, heading towards Shen Zhaoli who was standing aside.

She doesn’t know that in the car, Li Sihe has been watching her for a long time.

As Bai Xu gets into the car, before she even settles into her seat, she hears Li Sihe say, "Drive."

The car glides into the dense rain and fog; Bai Xu’s back is already soaked through, making her restless and uneasy. Yet Li Sihe speaks indifferently, his tone inquiring, "What did Bian Yue say?"

Bai Xu has no choice but to tell everything as it is.

But the backseat remains utterly silent.

The car has already traveled quite a distance, the red light turns on, slowing to a halt.

Bai Xu, fidgeting with unease, finally hears Li Sihe say, "She has grown up, even more ruthless and calm than I imagined."

It’s unexpectedly a calm compliment, without a trace of anger.

After speaking, Li Sihe closes his eyes to feign rest, instructing the driver to take a detour to the Half Mountain Villa.

"You..." Bai Xu frowns, concern brimming in her voice, "Are you still unable to sleep?"

At the Half Mountain Villa resides Li Sihe’s sleep therapist, whom Li Sihe visits when he cannot fall asleep.

But hypnosis is, after all, not the same as real sleep. Seeing Li Sihe silent, Bai Xu’s concern deepens.

It seems that Miss Bian’s words have indeed agitated the young master...

Shen Jinci arrives 10 minutes earlier than the agreed time, which leads to an encounter with Shen Zhaoli.

"Shen Zhaoli..." Bian Yue weighs her words cautiously, "Shen Zhaoli, he... he came to help me."

Although he wasn’t really of any help.

Shen Jinci looks at Shen Zhaoli impassively, nodding his head, "Thank you."

Shen Zhaoli seriously suspects he has gone deaf.

"What did you say? Repeat what you just said!" Shen Zhaoli, shocked, his fox-like eyes widening, his handsome face making a comical expression, "Have you lost your mind, Shen Jinci? You’re actually thanking me? Remember, we’re archenemies!"

Shen Jinci ignores him, takes Bian Yue’s hand, and asks if she’s encountered any troubles?

Bian Yue says everything has been dealt with.

"I know you don’t like me meddling in your affairs, rest assured, I won’t interfere if you don’t mention it," Shen Jinci lowers his gaze, his gaze softening as he looks into Bian Yue’s eyes, his tone gentle, "So next time, can you bring me along?"

Bian Yue’s heart softens, and she sincerely says, "I’m afraid of troubling you."

Having relied on the kindness of others for too long, she has a deeper understanding of the word ’trouble’ than most.

"Are you blind? Can’t you see, Bian Yue!" Shen Zhaoli says irritably: "He’s just waiting for you to trouble him!"

Bian Yue is taken aback, the uncertainty in her eyes fading.

Shen Zhaoli finds Shen Jinci’s crafty and scheming facade extremely annoying! But he did just thank me...

"Forget it, I don’t want to waste my breath with you guys, I’m leaving," an impatient Shen Zhaoli says, "By the way, Shen Jinci, don’t forget to transfer the medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress to my account!"

Not until Shen Zhaoli leaves do the two get in the car to return to the Shen Family Mansion.

Inside the car, after brewing her thoughts for a long time, Bian Yue finally musters the courage and asks softly, "Are you waiting for me to trouble you?"

Within Shen Jinci’s noble and indifferent features, a gentle warmth spreads, he sighs lightly, almost self-mockingly, "I thought I made it quite obvious."
