CHAPTER 292: CHAPTER 292: THINGS WILL GET BETTER

Shen Jinci’s throat felt tight, and his Adam’s apple moved as he spoke hoarsely, "But Yueyue, I don’t want you to work so hard anymore. Those things are too arduous. We clearly have better methods, more streamlined, more effective. You can still achieve your goals and get the results you want, right?"

Bian Yue lowered her head, her gaze falling on the contract. She frowned, her expression somewhat dazed, "You didn’t used to teach me this way."

Shen Jinci looked at her, silent for a moment, then said clearly, "I regret it, I shouldn’t have let you work so hard."

Nevertheless, Bian Yue still signed the contract to dissolve the betting agreement. She was the beneficiary, but at the moment of signing, there was not much joy.

Shen Jinci seemed relieved, he hugged her, kissed her eyebrows, and whispered softly, "Yueyue, this is much better, you can relax a lot."

His protectiveness and favoritism were completely at odds with his previous style of handling things.

Bian Yue couldn’t help but speculate about the underlying reasons.

So that night, while Shen Jinci was asleep, Bian Yue got up and looked for the medical records that Shen Jinci had taken with him all along and never allowed her a closer look.

Finding them was quite troublesome, and she didn’t know how long it had taken, but Bian Yue finally found those tightly wrapped medical records in the corner of the study.

When Bian Yue saw the diagnosis on the medical records, she wasn’t very surprised as she had mentally prepared herself somewhat. Shen Jinci’s unusual behavior was also a signal for Bian Yue.

But she indeed didn’t expect that her mental state had already become so severe.

She stared absently at the words "Depression" at the end of the document.

Until Shen Jinci came up behind her and gently embraced her.

He seemed to sigh softly, his voice helpless: "I knew you wouldn’t let yourself live in confusion. Yueyue, this is only temporary, you’ve just been too tired recently. Going forward, everything will get better."

Bian Yue clenched the medical records in her hand, and asked softly, "If I hadn’t found out, would you have told me?"

"I admit that at first, I really didn’t want to tell you. These things would only burden you mentally. But tonight, when you got up, I actually noticed, yet I still let you find the answer."

Shen Jinci placed his hands on Bian Yue’s shoulders, directing her to face him.

The light cast a soft, captivating veil on her face.

Shen Jinci raised his hand, gently caressing it, his voice probing, "Now that you know, could you slowly hand over the trivial matters of the Bian Family to me? Yueyue, I will definitely handle them with care."

Bian Yue understood the gravity of the situation. Her gaze lowered, after a long silence, she said, "Once I’ve handled the current matters, I will stay at home and recuperate properly."

Her words were so compliant and calm that it tightened Shen Jinci’s heart. He gazed at Bian Yue, pulling her into his embrace.

"Yueyue, you will get better." He said, over and over again.

The medical records in Bian Yue’s hand fell to the floor, scattering messily...

Bai Xu had not seen Bian Yue for several days, and when he saw her in the office today, he was initially startled, then walked in.

"President Bian."

Bian Yue nodded, her voice flat: "Did you contact Wang Dan’an for me?"

"I did. He will come over this afternoon to discuss the cooperation details," Bai Xu paused, placing a file in front of Bian Yue, "This is the foreign public venture capital group I recently found. They can help us quickly establish channels in Europe. If you’re interested, you can take a look."

Bian Yue took the business proposal handed over by Bai Xu, her expression still flat, "S.K, a leading venture capital company with strong momentum in the past two years. How did you contact them so quickly?"

"This was a resource once used by Feng Cheng, now integrated, and it’s being put to good use," Bai Xu smiled, "President Bian, thanks to your tolerance, I can stay with the Bian Family, naturally, I will do my utmost."

Listening to Bai Xu’s courteous words, Bian Yue smiled, but not quite, "Vice President Bai to think such, I am touched."

Bai Xu’s smile remained, "Then I’ll leave you to it. If there’s no issue with this proposal, I will continue pushing it forward."

Bian Yue pushed the contract towards Bai Xu, "No issues, you go ahead with it."

"President Bian, won’t you look at it?"

"I’ve heard of this venture company, indeed a very good partner. If we can push the cooperation forward, I hope to finalize it as soon as possible," Bian Yue paused, speaking faintly, "Preferably, this matter could be settled this month."

Bai Xu raised an eyebrow, subtly asked, "Why the sudden rush, President Bian, is there some urgent matter?"

"I’m pregnant, I need to rest, and over the next period, my husband will take over managing the Bian Family," Bian Yue looked at Bai Xu, smile deepening, "By then, I also hope for your full cooperation."

A sharp glance flashed through Bai Xu’s eyes, but soon, he smiled, "Of course, I will cooperate well with Mr. Shen."

Bian Yue nodded, not saying anything else.

Bai Xu picked up the contract on the desk and walked out.

This sudden event, he couldn’t quite grasp what Bian Yue was thinking.

After Bai Xu left, Bian Yue finally relaxed, looking at the décor in front of her.

This office, from nothing to everything, had experienced too much, and Bian Yue had an unseverable emotional attachment to this place.

Yet, she also understood that her current condition truly didn’t allow her to push herself any further.

The conversation with Wang Dan’an in the afternoon went rather smoothly; the other party had changed his previously pretentious attitude and was unbelievably amicable.

Thus, before long, the two had finalized the details of the cooperation.

Just about to sign the cooperative book, Wang Dan’an hesitated as he looked at Bian Yue, probing, "President Bian, are you sure? Really want to partner with me?"

He had many more white hairs than before; this period of constant turmoil must have been exhausting.

Bian Yue saw Wang Dan’an’s cautious demeanor for the first time.

"Haven’t we already discussed everything clearly?" Bian Yue spoke lightly, "If I didn’t sincerely want to cooperate, why would I spend so much time talking with you?"

Wang Dan’an’s expression relaxed, he smiled, saying: "President Bian, don’t blame me for being too cautious, after all, Red Mountain and Xinghe are competitors, I thought President Lu... might have said something to you."

Hearing this, Bian Yue maintained her composure, "President Lu’s opinion, I will consider, but not accept outright."

Wang Dan’an finally left reassured.

No sooner had Wang Dan’an left, Bai Xu pushed the door open and looked at Bian Yue, saying, "President Bian, S.K. Venture Capital has news; they are willing to finalize the cooperation now. They only need you to travel abroad to confirm the specific details."
