CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 240: LET’S GO HOME (BONUS CHAPTER FOR MONTHLY TICKETS)

Bian Yue just boarded the flight to S State when Shen Zhaoli finally gave Shen Jinci a call.

His tone was casual, as he slowly said, "Get ready, Bian Yue is coming to see you."

On the other line, Shen Jinci remained silent for a moment. He wasn’t angry, but instead calmly said, "Did Bian Yue investigate?"

"You already knew, didn’t you? Yes, she’s had someone investigate, and now she’s on the plane to see you. Shen Jinci, if there’s anything to talk about, it’s better to discuss it openly." Shen Zhaoli paused, his tone shifting to a more serious note, "Moreover, something happened today, and Bian Yue really does need you by her side."

"About the Li Family."

"You really can’t keep anything from you." Shen Zhaoli sighed lightly, looking out at the desolate night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and softly said, "Brother, if there’s anything from the past, take this opportunity to clear things up with Bian Yue. I can tell that no matter what you say, as long as it’s the truth, Bian Yue will accept it."

Shen Jinci paused, then spoke again with a faint voice, "How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Bian Yue loves you." Shen Zhaoli laughed, saying without a second thought, "Isn’t that enough by itself?"

Shen Jinci didn’t say anything more. He hung up the phone and walked towards a nearby airplane.

The captain stood by, looking anxious, "Mr. Shen, the young lady you mentioned is on the plane now. Would you want me to inform her in advance?"

Shen Jinci waved his hand and walked inside. His demeanor was noble, exuding a distant and cool temperament. The trip to S State pulled out the deeply ingrained indifference in him even more.

Yet at this moment, there was a still-unsettled weariness about him, and as he stepped forward, it contrasted with his usually cold demeanor with an oddly gentle warmth.

Inside the airplane at the time, Bian Yue was seated in the business class, with the sound of the plane getting ready to take off in her ears.

Bian Yue thought to herself that after arriving in S State, she would contact Shen Jinci. No matter what, she had to make everything clear.

The next moment, a pair of leather shoes appeared before her.

Like being struck by something unbelievable, Bian Yue’s eyes widened incredulously as she slowly looked up.

He was in a black suit, his fair complexion graceful and deep, his posture noble. Under the lights, he was like a fleeting glimpse of beauty.

Bian Yue looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, first startled, then amidst the surprised gaze of the flight attendant, she abruptly stood up and threw her arms around him, eyes reddening.

"Shen Jinci... you’ve come back..." As Bian Yue spoke, tears fell. She disregarded the surprised glances of the passing passengers, hugging the man in front of her as tightly as she could.

Indeed, it had not been long since they last saw each other, but this reunion, unlike every meeting before, held a completely different meaning.

And Shen Jinci, with gentle movements, held her in his arms amidst the bustling crowd, his voice by her ear was tender enough to soothe the soul, "I missed you very much, so I came back early."

Bian Yue’s eyes, damp with unshed tears, choked up, "I was already planning to come to you, I thought about a lot, Shen Jinci... I have something to say to you."

Shen Jinci simply stroked her hair, each word tenderer than the last, "Yueyue, let’s go home."

Bian Yue’s heart, which hadn’t been at peace all night, finally began to settle down in that instant.

She gently closed her eyes, her head resting on Shen Jinci’s shoulder, feeling his heartbeat, her lips curling into a smile as she whispered softly, "Alright, let’s go home."

In the hospital room, Zhuang Jie Ning’s anesthesia had just worn off, and she slowly opened her eyes to find herself alone.

"Doctor! Doctor!" Zhuang Jie Ning shouted hoarsely.

Her hair disheveled, her expression pale, she looked like a frenzied madwoman.

A group of doctors walked in from outside, followed by Zhuang Jie Ning’s father, Zhuang Yi.

Upon seeing Zhuang Yi, Zhuang Jie Ning clung to him like a lifeline, disregarding everything else, she got out of the bed and ran weakly toward him, saying anxiously, "Dad! You’re finally here! Li Sihe, that lunatic, he’s plotted against us!"

Zhuang Yi had a complicated expression on his face, gazing at Zhuang Jie Ning for a long while, his voice becoming gentle, "Jie Ning... Dad knows you’ve suffered a lot this time. Let’s go home with Dad first, and we can talk about everything slowly."

"Why should I go home! I’m now the young mistress of the Li Family! With Li Sihe gone, it’s up to us what happens in the Li Family!"

"Jie Ning... The child in your belly is gone, and the Li Family is in complete chaos. What’s the point of staying?" Zhuang Yi’s tone was agitated as he said sternly, "What you should do now is go home with me! Don’t worry, you have Dad at home! You can start over!"

Zhuang Jie Ning didn’t hear what Zhuang Yi said after that. She stared blankly at Zhuang Yi and slowly asked, "My child... What do you mean my child is gone..."

"Jie Ning... I know it’s hard to accept at this moment, but it’s already happened..." Regret showed on Zhuang Yi’s face. If he knew this would be the outcome, he would have never forced Zhuang Jie Ning to marry Li Sihe.

"Why would my child be gone? The doctor told me, he was healthy, my child was very healthy..." Zhuang Jie Ning murmured to herself as Zhuang Yi tried to support her, but she shook off his hand.

"Jie Ning... Calm down a bit. Wasn’t there something wrong with the juice at your wedding? Hasn’t Bai Xu already told you? Denying reality now is useless..."

With Zhuang Yi’s heartfelt words, Zhuang Jie Ning became even more agitated. She looked at Zhuang Yi unwillingly, her voice rising, "I don’t believe it! I don’t! Doctors! Say something, will you? My child is fine, right? My child will be okay..."

The doctors, who had been standing behind Zhuang Yi the whole time, now had to speak up upon hearing Zhuang Jie Ning’s questioning.

"Miss Zhuang, your child is indeed gone... You are still young and can have more children..."

"Enough! I don’t want to hear it! Get out! All of you, get out of here!" Zhuang Jie Ning’s voice trembled and broke. Her eyes were red with anger as she looked at Zhuang Yi, full of resentment: "You too! Get out! I don’t want to see you!"

"Listen to her, let’s go out and give her some space to calm down," Zhuang Yi said with a stern face, decisively commanding, "Everyone out!"

After speaking, Zhuang Yi followed the others and walked out until the door gently closed. That’s when Zhuang Jie Ning finally collapsed to the floor.

The pain she felt was beyond words, and for a woman, there was no crueler punishment than being deprived of her child.

Li Sihe was indeed ruthless and cold-hearted; even in death, he wanted everyone to suffer for a lifetime.

Zhuang Jie Ning had forgotten how much effort she had made to convince herself to conceive this child.

And now, just when she had finally come to terms with it, she was met with this kind of retaliation...

Her eyes empty, her pale and frail face sported a mocking smile. The next moment, she suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter.

As she laughed, tears streamed down her face, and she whispered softly, "Li Sihe, I hate you..."
