After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 186: Growing Softhearted
Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Growing Softhearted
Li Sihe’s voice was so tender it was almost pathological. "To this day, Yueyue, do you still care whether or not I have a hard time?"
Bian Yue looked down, her hand gripping the phone tightening incessantly. "There’s no point in asking such questions between us anymore. You know in your heart that I can’t forgive the Li Family’s actions."
"I know." His voice was still gentle.
Bian Yue paused, her voice growing tenser. "But Li Sihe, we’ve known each other for so long, and I know that in those seven years, there was true sincerity between us. I won’t deny my past, and I dare to admit that I don’t want anything to happen to you. At the very least, I hope you will have a safe and joyful life."
"You hope I have a safe and joyful life, yet you won’t let go of my father and the Li Family?"
"Yes."
Li Sihe laughed, his voice tinged with desolation. "Yueyue, I’m the chairman of Feng Cheng, and these two things contradict each other."
Bian Yue knew of course, that there were always things in life that one was powerless to change.
"One cannot have it both ways, it’s often like that," Li Sihe said with a bitter laugh. "Just now, when I said I don’t agree with you bringing Shen Jinci along, it’s not because I despise him. It’s because Bian Shu’s whereabouts cannot be known by others for the time being. If my father finds out that you went with Shen Jinci, he will move Bian Shu to a place even I cannot find."
A strong anger flashed in Bian Yue’s eyes. "Li Tingmo, he really is utterly shameless."
Her words were pointed, but Li Sihe didn’t refute them.
Up to this day, Bian Yue’s disgust towards the Li Family was undisguised and direct. Li Sihe had no illusions about still maintaining a facade of peace.
However, now that he was in this position, he would do his utmost to delay the escalation of conflict.
They weren’t at a dead end yet, not at the point of no return.
Li Sihe had already reached a conclusion in his heart, so he merely spoke to confirm a meeting time with Bian Yue.
Bian Yue thought about her relatively free schedule at the company today, and given the urgency of Bian Shu’s situation, she agreed to meet in 2 hours at the city center.
On the other end, a vivid emotion crossed Li Sihe’s eyes. He curled his lips, softly agreed, and hung up the phone.
When Li Sihe was about to leave, Su Youxue came down from upstairs and brought him his regular medication.
She wore simple loungewear, free from the former traces of makeup, her whole demeanor exceptionally calm.
She said, "Mr. Li, here are the medicines you usually take. If you feel unwell when you’re out, remember to take them."
Li Sihe accepted them, looking at Su Youxue’s beautiful almond-shaped eyes. He said, "I’ve arranged a new show for you. This drama has the same team as ’Shengshi Yan.’ Rest assured, I will make you famous."
Su Youxue laughed nonchalantly and spoke softly, "Okay, thank you Mr. Li. I will do my best."
Li Sihe nodded. His health had been declining these days, Zhuang Jie Ning was not to be taken lightly, and neither was Li Tingmo. In the entire household, the one truly concerned about his health turned out to be Su Youxue.
Originally, Li Sihe kept Su Youxue by his side to block Zhuang Jie Ning. The marriage was mutually beneficial, but Zhuang Jie Ning was destined to betray him, and Li Sihe did not wish to have too much interaction with her.
But now, as time went on, Li Sihe felt a faint sense of guilt towards Su Youxue.
He thought that he was sick, so he had become softer at heart than before.
Su Youxue, observing Li Sihe’s pensive silence, paused gently and said, "Mr. Li... Recently, Miss Zhuang has been frequently associating with the young masters related to the Li Family."
"I know. Didn’t she bring someone to stay over last night?" Li Sihe’s voice was as calm as if he were talking about someone else’s business.
Su Youxue looked at Li Sihe in astonishment and blurted out, "You know? Then why do you allow..."
Li Sihe was feeling better today and had some energy, so he explained, "Zhuang Jie Ning needs a child, and so does the Li Family. A child that is rightfully born from the wife of the head of the Li Family. As for the father, as long as it’s someone from the Li Family, anyone will do."
Su Youxue’s eyes widened. She looked at Li Sihe and blurted out subconsciously, "Mr. Li, if you also need a child, I can undergo IVF. Rest assured, I won’t fight for the custody rights of the child."
Li Sihe was surprised by Su Youxue’s words.
The methods of the Li Family, Su Youxue must be clear about them in her heart. Even if she bore a child, once he died, the Li Family wouldn’t accommodate her.
So, Li Sihe spoke, his voice growing even fainter, "Why?"
Su Youxue clenched her fists, her gaze resolute. "I like you, and I’m willing to do anything."
Li Sihe looked at Su Youxue, silent for a moment, then said, "You’re so young; you have a long life ahead of you. There’s no need to waste it dying in the Li Family."
The moment he turned and left, Li Sihe thought to himself that maybe, by keeping Su Youxue by his side all this time, it was a bit unfair to her.
From the second-floor railing, Zhuang Jie Ning overheard the conversation between the two.
It wasn’t until Li Sihe left that Zhuang Jie Ning gradually made her way downstairs.
Her steps were leisurely, her words dripping with sarcasm. She coolly said, "Su Youxue, I really underestimated you. You’ll stop at nothing to climb the ladder. Your ability to appear fragile and pitiful in front of Li Sihe is even better than Bian Yue’s was. But what’s the point of all this? Li Sihe is destined not to give you a second glance."
Su Youxue, with her back to Zhuang Jie Ning, waited until she finished speaking before slowly turning around. She smiled calmly at her, saying, "Miss Zhuang, Mr. Li is a fair and just man. Even if I do nothing while staying by his side, he will give me everything I want."
"What’s the point of going to such lengths for what?" Zhuang Jie Ming laughed scornfully: "Do you really think that a child in the womb of an eighteenth-tier star like you can compete with mine? I am the daughter of the Zhuang Family; you’re only fit to kneel and look up at me."
Su Youxue smiled faintly and calmly said, "Please keep it down when you come back at night, Miss Zhuang. You and your lovers are quite noisy."
With that, Su Youxue left behind Zhuang Jie Ning, whose complexion had turned stiff.
Zhuang Jie Ning stood rooted to the spot, shaking uncontrollably.
She clenched her teeth, watching Su Youxue’s retreating figure with venomous eyes.
If it weren’t for Bian Yue making such a mess of things, she wouldn’t have had to start trying to have a child to secure her status before officially marrying Li Sihe. In the end, it was all because of that bitch Bian Yue that she ended up like this!
Bian Yue sat in the coffee shop at the city center, watching the hustle and bustle of traffic outside.
Li Sihe’s car stopped at the roadside, its license plate number familiar to Bian Yue.
Bian Yue paid at the front desk and when leaving, asked the front desk clerk for a cup of hot tea.
