After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 87: Impartial and Unbiased

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Impartial and Unbiased

"You’re saying... you signed a prenuptial agreement with Bian Yue?" Li Tingmo looked at Shen Jinci with astonishment, the surprise in his eyes was unmistakable.

Zhuang Jie Ning, standing beside them, was equally astonished.

Shen Jinci went to such lengths to marry Bian Yue back into the Shen Family without seeking anything in return?

"Yes," Shen Jinci answered indifferently. "So, you can rest assured, I won’t touch any of Bian Yue’s possessions."

"But..." Li Tingmo gritted his teeth, no longer having any excuses. When it came to the point, more bluntly, "But Bian Yue has been with the Li Family for years, and we have truly treated her as our own daughter. How do you calculate such affection?"

Bian Yue couldn’t hide her disappointment as she looked at Li Tingmo with a tremble in her voice, "Uncle, are you using the favor of adoption to ask for repayment today? Then how much payback do you think is enough?"

"Bian Yue, don’t blame your uncle for being heartless. It was you who wanted to burn all your bridges." Li Tingmo’s face regained its calm composure, and he turned his gaze to Li Sihe beside him, whose expression was complex. He spoke indifferently and coldly: "Shiheng, don’t you have anything to say? After all these years, it has been you who devotedly stayed by Bian Yue’s side."

Li Sihe’s elegant face was tranquil and undisturbed.

He caught the warning in Li Tingmo’s eyes.

It was impossible for Li Tingmo not to fight tooth and nail for such a huge sum of money and to hand it all over just like that.

Now, Li Tingmo wanted him to step up and negotiate with Bian Yue.

Li Sihe just gazed at Bian Yue’s delicate and charming face.

His moon, which he had raised with his own hands, was hanging high in the sky, pure and unblemished.

At this moment, she sat in an untouchable place, looking at him with a cold and defensive posture.

The pain in his heart was real and numb.

His moon was so stubborn, as if she was never going to look back. But now, all he felt was regret.

Li Sihe heard his own voice, calm, pleading for the last time, "That money belongs to Bian Yue. The Li Family should never have claimed it."

"Li Sihe! What are you talking about!" Li Tingmo widened his eyes in disbelief. He thought he had made himself clear, and Li Sihe seemed to understand, but at the crucial moment, he turned his back on him.

Li Tingmo clenched his teeth and said in a heavy voice, "Don’t let your old feelings for Bian Yue blind you to your position!"

Zhuang Jie Ning watched this drama unfold, feeling incredibly fortunate to have come today.

She really wanted to know just how far Li Sihe could go insane.

And Li Sihe, as though he couldn’t hear Li Tingmo’s angry shouts, looked at Bian Yue with a resolute gaze, "Yueyue, I will help you, but can you come upstairs with me? There are some things I would like to discuss with you alone."

Bian Yue looked towards Shen Jinci.

The man’s eyebrows and eyes were still indifferent. He was always such a distant and cold person. Only when he looked at Bian Yue did his eyes soften, though his words remained inherently firm:"Do you want to know what I think, Yueyue? I don’t want you to be alone with him, but if you want to go upstairs with him, I will wait here for you."

He paused, his fingers gently twined in Bian Yue’s hair, slowly tucking strands behind her ear, and said, "But if you want to go, I respect your decision."

Bian Yue said, "I won’t go."

She trusted completely; she said, "Shen Jinci, I will listen to you."

Li Sihe found this scene extremely ironic and laughable to the extreme.

He stared at Bian Yue unblinkingly, feeling desolate in his heart.

Many things were beyond human ability to turn around.

"Li Sihe, did you hear that? Bian Yue simply doesn’t care about her bond with the Li Family anymore!" Li Tingmo’s annoyance couldn’t be concealed any longer as he said, "Mr. Shen, the Li Family cannot just spit out this money for nothing. Since it’s all business, there must be a price to pay!"

Li Sihe, however, just continued to look at Bian Yue, his peach blossom eyes deep, his pale face showing a hint of obscurity. He slowly stood up and approached Bian Yue amid Li Tingmo’s furious words.

Zhuang Jie Ning did not expect Li Sihe to lose control to this extent.

Bian Yue had already refused his request, even refusing to talk alone with him, and yet he still approached her.

The scene was dead silent.

Bian Yue raised her face, looking at Li Sihe who came in front of her.

Her gaze did not waver, met his eyes, and she calmly spoke: "Li Sihe, what I’m claiming is my inheritance. Your demands are invalid to begin with. I’m taking back what is mine, why should I agree to your demands?"

Shen Jinci listened to Bian Yue’s words, soundlessly taking the latter’s hand into his own.

He didn’t speak, but the oppressive aura was too heavy, even just sitting here, he was in no way overwhelmed by Li Sihe’s presence.

But he gave control to Bian Yue, not intruding or interfering.

"Bian Yue," Li Sihe called out her name amidst the dead silence, his voice trembling, each word choked with emotion, he said, "I know I was wrong. I’m apologizing to you, is that alright?"

Across from him, Li Tingmo and the always silent Tang Yuwei’s faces changed drastically.

While Zhuang Jie Ning frowned as she watched, laughing in her heart.

So many years have passed, why does Li Sihe’s heart still remain true to only Bian Yue without any bias?

When those tabloid news appeared, Zhuang Jie Ning thought that Li Sihe had truly changed somewhat.

But looking at it now, it is clear that he hasn’t changed a bit.

He and the man who stood in the pouring rain holding an umbrella for Bian Yue are still the same person.

He’s just become more selfish, selfishly wanting everything.

Both the Li Family and Bian Yue, power and love, wanting it all.

But Bian Yue remained even more calm, she said, "Li Sihe, I’m already married."

The implication was clear, that all past affairs had been put to rest.

Li Sihe felt a tumultuous surge of emotions.

In front of Shen Jinci, what he just did was already the limit.

He did care deeply, but his pride would not allow him to bend any further.

Li Sihe unconsciously took a half step back, a sweet, metallic taste bubbling up from his throat.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, despair flickering across his face, his voice barely more than a whisper, he said, "Bian Yue, you still blame me..."

"You still blame me," such a despairing phrase.

Bian Yue looked at the blood on his lips with fright, "Li Sihe..."

Shen Jinci’s expression also shifted slightly.

Li Sihe thought, humans really can’t afford to make mistakes.

Just as Bian Yue said to him at Wen Jiao’s home, she abhors betrayal and would never forgive it.

The moment before his consciousness completely vanished, Li Sihe saw Bian Yue and Shen Jinci standing up, as if they wanted to support him.

But Bian Yue, you can no longer support me...

You turn your back to me, never willing to look back again...

The smell of disinfectant was strong in the private hospital room, Li Sihe was still in the operating theatre, the red light constantly on, with no signs of going out.

It was already late into the night.

Bian Yue and Shen Jinci were sitting on a long bench nearby, both of them silent.

Zhuang Jie Ning accompanied Tang Yuwei and Li Tingmo to inquire with the doctors, and now they returned with heavy expressions.

Tang Yuwei seemed to have been crying, upon seeing Bian Yue, she didn’t say a word and just knelt down with a thud.
