Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Retribution Awaits

"I have arranged Miss Wen Jiao’s room next to yours, madam. Should we inform the Wen Family now?"

Bian Yue walked briskly while responding, "If the Wen Family learns about this now, it might create an uncontrollable uproar. I don’t know what Wen Jiao is thinking, but whatever the decision, it should wait until Wen Jiao wakes up and decides for herself."

"Yes, madam."

The butler hurriedly followed Bian Yue’s steps.

Shen Jinci stood still, not stepping forward.

He pondered for a moment then dialed Wei Shuqian’s number.

On the other end, the man’s voice was cold and tinged with slight fatigue, but deliberately concealed, soundlessly cold upon first hearing it, "Is Wen Jiao still alive?"

"Tell me, how did she end up like this." Shen Jinci was straightforward.

It seemed like Wei Shuqian laughed, casually saying, "Third Brother, if I’m not mistaken, you weren’t the type to meddle."

Shen Jinci biting his cigarette between his lips, responded just as lightly, "I’m not now either, but the Wen Jiao, whose wrists are bleeding, is Bian Yue’s best friend, Shuqian, I don’t want Bian Yue to be unhappy."

Wei Shuqian fell silent for a moment, then spoke, "I didn’t expect that Wen Jiao would suddenly slit her wrists..."

"What did you say to her?" Shen Jinci probed sharply, "Did you push her into it?"

"Push?" Wei Shuqian scoffed coldly and admitted openly, "Yes, I pushed her. I said I want to marry her."

Shen Jinci had guessed as much.

He hung up the call without further inquiry.

In the room, Bian Yue looked tense as she gazed at the sleeping Wen Jiao.

The latter lay on the bed, her face calm and serene - if not for the alarming scars on her wrists, Bian Yue might have thought she was simply asleep.

Images of her parents’ funeral flashed through Bian Yue’s mind.

There weren’t many important people left around her, and if possible, Bian Yue hoped they would all be safe.

Thus, her heart tightened and her emotions began to churn.

"When will she wake up? How much longer will she stay in a coma? Doctor, please, you must help cure her!"

Bian Yue approached the doctor, her voice shaking, "She’s still so young, she can’t have something happen to her."

"Miss Bian, there’s no need for such worry, in fact, your friend’s external injuries are not serious." The doctor spoke gently, "Her vital signs are all very healthy."

"But... but why is she still in a coma now?" Bian Yue clenched her fists, her eyes reddening, bewildered, "Why hasn’t she woken up?"

"It’s because of excessive blood loss making her too weak, so she may need some time to recover, but don’t worry Miss Bian, she’ll be fine."

"Really?"

"Yes, truly."

Relieved now, Bian Yue sat down next to Wen Jiao.

She held Wen Jiao’s hand, her face weary as she closed her eyes and relaxed.

Yet, Wen Jiao remained engulfed in a dark dream.

In her dream, Wei Shuqian was still a teenager, solitary and quiet, but not at all lethal.

He was merely clear and transparent, carrying a sense of fragile vulnerability - in the popular language of the past two years, pitifully beautiful.

Wen Jiao glanced at him only once and remembered.

Back then, she was spirited, an 18-year-old girl with fickle affections, always ready to play.

She ran to Bian Yue, who was watching the sunset, and said, "Bian Yue, there’s a really good-looking guy over there. I kind of like him."

Bian Yue was used to Wen Jiao’s crushes and asked perfunctorily, "Oh, what do you like about him?"

"Of course, I love his face!" Wen Jiao was unabashed as she spoke frankly, "Handsome people are rare after all!"

"I thought you were tired of seeing handsome guys sing every day."

Bian Yue stretched lazily, looking at Wen Jiao’s serious expression, and joked, "Miss Wen, how long do you plan to like him this time?"

"Don’t look down on me, this time is different, I’m really interested in this guy!"

Wen Jiao’s face lit up with the thrill of the hunt, and she raised her voice, "Just watch. Three months—just three months! I’ll definitely win him over!"

It was an irresponsible declaration from the start.

So later on, the tragic ending was all Wen Jiao’s own doing.

Wen Jiao woke up from a dream, seeing Bian Yue’s worried gaze.

"Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao, you finally woke up!" When Bian Yue saw Wen Jiao wake up, her worry turned to joy, and she quickly said, "Just lie down and rest! I’ll call the doctor to check on you again right now!"

Wen Jiao grabbed Bian Yue’s hand.

Her eyes filled with teasing laughter, she joked, "Why so nervous? I’m fine! You’re making me worry that Shen Jinci will be jealous!"

"He won’t be," Bian Yue said seriously. "He’s not that type of person."

Wen Jiao was amused by Bian Yue’s earnestness, her eyes sparkling with laughter, she whispered, "It’s okay, Bian Yue, I’m really fine."

Bian Yue lowered her head, looking at Wen Jiao’s injured hand.

The scars were shocking, and Bian Yue could hardly bear to think how painful it must have been.

"What happened?" Bian Yue frowned, looking puzzled at Wen Jiao, "What happened with Wei Shuqian? Why are you injured?"

Wen Jiao said, "Bian Yue, do you remember when I was in junior high, I pursued a boy for 3 months and succeeded?"

Bian Yue remembered; after all, Wen Jiao was not one to accommodate others, and it was rare for her to make the first move. The one time she did pursue someone, Bian Yue certainly remembered.

But to Wen Jiao, such things were never a big deal.

It was merely a whim.

So, Bian Yue didn’t take it to heart.

But now, Wen Jiao suddenly brought it up.

Bian Yue was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief, "You... the person you pursued back then, was Wei Shuqian?"

"Yes." Wen Jiao gave a bitter smile, her voice soft and reflective, "Bian Yue, that’s why I say, one really shouldn’t do bad things. Sooner or later, karma comes."

Bian Yue didn’t want Wen Jiao to be hurt, let alone to be involved with the word ’karma.’

People’s hearts are biased, and Bian Yue anxiously said, "But it’s been so long since then! Besides, it was just a relationship! Did Wei Shuqian really need to push you this hard?"

"What if I say, it’s worth it?"

"Wen Jiao, tell me the truth, what exactly caused you two to break up? Did you fall out of love?"

Bian Yue frowned deeper, remembering Wei Shuqian’s cold, icy face at the reunion, unable to contain her worry, "When you broke up with him, did you cheat?"

Wen Jiao forced a smile, "Worse than cheating."

"You..." Bian Yue took a deep breath, recalling Wei Shuqian’s frosty face at the reunion, "Wen Jiao, listen, tell me, what exactly did you do?"

But Wen Jiao didn’t speak, only lowering her gaze further, looking at her own hand with the IV needle inserted.
