Chapter 185: Love Growing Warmer
Shen Jinci knew that Bian Yue was being coquettish, and also knew that her words didn’t carry much practical significance, but were merely expressing emotions.
Still, he gently ruffled her hair and said gently, "Did your talk with Li Tingmo go smoothly?"
The smile on Bian Yue’s face faded, she recounted everything that had just happened at the Li Family, furrowing her brows with disquiet in her eyes, "Jinci, I don’t know if what Li Tingmo said is true or not, but he indeed has no need to lie to me about this."
"Who is Bian Shu?" Shen Zhaoli, who was listening in, asked curiously.
"My older cousin, six years older than me. When I was 13, she suddenly disappeared, everyone told me she had died. All these years, I never thought she could still be alive..." Bian Yue frowned, her expression sorrowful, "She was highly talented in piano. I once learned piano because I admired her."
"So you mean, your cousin Bian Shu might still be alive, and she’s in the hands of Li Tingmo?" Shen Zhaoli clicked his tongue lightly, his tone meaningful,
"Li Tingmo will not willingly hand over people, he asked you to withdraw the lawyer’s letter, that might just be his first step, afterwards, he will continue to threaten you using Bian Shu."
"Of course I know, but... I can’t pretend not to know if she might still be alive. My uncle, Bian Shu’s father, was killed on the street to save my father. Now, if she is still alive, I cannot not look for her."
Bian Yue said this awkwardly, "Jinci, if my cousin is still alive... Constantly changing decisions like this, it won’t be good for you."
"Why would it be? As long as it’s something Yueyue wants to do, I support it. If this person being alive makes Yueyue happy, then it’s worth it," Shen Jinci’s tone was nearly indulgent, he added: "As long as Yueyue is happy, that’s enough."
