Chapter 148: Going Separate Ways
"What do you want to hear? That the Li Family was the push behind your parents’ death, is that what you want to hear?" His voice was laced with irony.
Bian Yue’s eyes suddenly reddened, her teeth trembling, her eyes filled with complexity as she looked at Li Sihe, "If you think this is a misunderstanding, you could present evidence to explain it to me, but you didn’t. You’re just making excuses."
"Present evidence?" Li Sihe chuckled lightly, slowly shaking his head, his eyes revealing despair, "You clearly know that I have no evidence, Bian Yue, you guessed right. The truth is that sordid; the Li Family was indeed the push behind the downfall of the Bian Family, I have nothing to say."
Bian Yue’s tears fell, looking at Li Sihe, she felt that this person she had known for seven years was so unfamiliar.
"You knew from day one."
"Yes."
"You watched me gratefully devoted to the Li Family like a fool, you even planned to keep me in the dark for a lifetime!" As Bian Yue spoke, she lost control, her voice becoming shrill and loud, "Li Sihe, one shouldn’t be so shameless!"
"I’m also struggling, Bian Yue, do you think I’m not hurting? All these years, every time I looked at you, my heart was tormented, afraid of when you would find out the truth, afraid of how you’d see me after knowing it, but what could I do, I was only 18 at the time! I was just being pushed forward."
Li Sihe gripped Bian Yue’s wrist tightly, unwilling to let go. The mirth and warmth had vanished from his peach blossom eyes, replaced by pain as he said, "Bian Yue, I’m not well either; I haven’t been fine for all these years. My initial reaction was to deny because I was afraid, afraid to stand opposite you. But... but I still admitted it..."
Bian Yue’s eyes were red as she looked at him, not shedding another tear.
