His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 110 - TRYING TO SOW DISCORD



Hu Lei placed the laptop on her desk and settled on her chair with a sigh. She unlocked the device and continued typing fast. Her inspiration was still strong, and it would be a waste to spend time on other things.

In no time, she sunk deep into the story, and everything became more vivid. It was almost as if she was inside her story. She could see everything clearly. Her fingers moved faster, and her face glowed in anticipation of the next scene.

She felt as if she was not the one crafting the tale. She was merely an observer, recording the events as she saw them. It was exhilarating.

Unfortunately, her perfect little creative bubble did not last for too long. She lifted her eyes suddenly because she heard some movement outside the outdoor access door.

Her face showed traces of annoyance as she continued typing slower. It seemed that Ting Wan had become really audacious in her absence. If she was not wrong, the woman was picking the lock to her space.

"This is the library. You are definitely going to love it." Ting Wan's voice did not sound normal.

Usually, she had a curt soldier-like tone. Now, she sounded flattering and even girlish. It was a little unnerving. However, the change made Hu Lei perk up a little, forgetting her earlier annoyance. This might be interesting.

"Cousin, are you sure we can enter in this place?" A soft and water-like voice asked.

Though the voice sounded hesitant and humble, Hu Lei did not miss the anticipation in the tone. Her lips stretched a little more, and the edges lifted up a little higher.

"What are you talking about? This place will be yours in the future. Why are you so hesitant?" Ting Wan said with a laugh.

A dangerous glint passed through Hu Lei's eyes. The darkness in her seemed to rise unbidden like a volcano at those words. The implication of that woman being with her Zhong Feng rubbed her wrong and caused that dark part of her to cloud her everything.

A certain thought crossed her mind. She would sooner burn the place down. Her mind seemed to conjure up flames, and she felt a shift in her mind and body. She grasped the situation immediately when she felt that change. She was becoming Jane.

She felt a cold fear in her and suppressed the darkness quickly. Yes, she remembered the warning given by her alter ego in a dream. And she knew that this continuous war between the metaphorical light and dark was not helping her mental health. However, she was also afraid of Jane. After all, Jane was her, and she knew what she was capable of.

The door finally opened, causing her to break free from her weird mental state. She would deal with this problem later. For now, she wanted to see what Supreme City debutantes could do. She leaned back in her chair.

The two women did not notice her when they entered. Her desk was in the far corner of the room, and the shelves of books concealed her. More importantly, she was deliberately trying not to be seen. With her special training, it was no big deal to not be easily perceived even though she was sitting comfortably.

"These must be all the popular books on the local and international market. There are even some rare copies that I have never seen." The gentle-voiced woman exclaimed.

"You have only seen a couple of books, and you are already overwhelmed." Ting Wan laughed.

They walked deeper into the library, looking around.

"I did not know that big brother Feng was a fan of books." The woman smiled in joy.

Hu Lei clutched the arms of her chair in annoyance as soon as he heard that woman called her Ah Feng big brother. How dare she defile his name with that tone of voice?

Though Hu Lei was usually relaxed and casual about her relationship with Zhong Feng, she was actually very possessive in her heart. She had never had another person in her life who she felt belonged to her completely. It was a little twisted, but for her, Zhong Feng felt like he was a literal part of her heart. How could she feel at ease when someone was speaking casually about him?

Before she could control her strength, there was a loud crack. She had damaged her super comfortable chair by exerting too much power with her small hands.

The two women were startled and looked to the direction of the desk. Hu Lei was not startled when they turned to her direction. Instead, she smiled at them from her relaxed position. They naturally had no choice but to come closer.

Ting Wan looked annoyed, almost clenching her teeth while the other woman in a flowery sundress looked confused. Hu Lei understood the situation immediately and grinned.

"If I had known that there would be guests, I would have prepared a cup of tea." She said with a smile.

"It is no problem. I am Bei Gong Jiu." She paused and blushed. "I am big brother Feng's friend and Ting Wan's cousin."

Hu Lei looked up and down at the woman. Mmmh… this type was too boring to even play with for a day.

"I didn't know Ah Feng had an old small sister." She spoke almost to herself but loudly.

Outside the internal door, Housekeeper Li, who had been worried, could not help thinking that the lady did not need help.

Bei Gong Jiu's eyes looked hurt, but she did not break down as Hu Lei had hoped. This was good too.

"You should not be so rude. Also, if big brother Feng heard you calling his name so casually, you would lose your job." She advised with a teary sheen in her eyes.

Who was calling whose name casually, Hu Lei thought feeling nauseated.

"Oooh… Miss Bei Gong is so kind to even give me advised. But Ting Wan should have told you who I am, right?" She asked sneakily.

Of course, she knew through the confused look on her boring face that she had not heard of her. She smiled as Bei Gong Jiu turned to Ting Wan.

"Miss Hu is staying in the villa." Ting Wan explained in a curt tone.

"How can you put it like that, my dear Ting Wan?" She stood up and walked towards them slowly.

For some reason, Ting Wan felt that her boss was a little strange, different.

"I was even so kind to let you visit with your little cousin. You know you should be a little more grateful."

"I didn't know big brother Feng had a close friend." Bei Gong Jiu interjected.

"Ting Wan, how could you possibly not tell this poor little bird?" She said with mock sadness.

Bei Gong Jiu looked even more confused. It seemed that she had to be more direct for this woman to grasp her implication.

"Oh, let me guess. You wanted to be the third-party that profits while the other two fight?" She asked in a dramatic horrified tone.

Finally, Bei Gong Jiu's brain cells rubbed together enough to realise the main point. She did not even think about confronting Hu Lei. She just turned with betrayed watery eyes to her cousin. How could she covet her man? She was supposed to help her.

"Do not listen to her. She is trying to sow discord." Ting Wan abandoned pretences.

"Then, why didn't you tell me about her? I know that you have always been jealous of me, but how could you do this? I even helped you get into the Zhong family's security company." She asked with watery eyes.

Ting Wan had wanted to pacify her at first, but those condescending words triggered her anger.

"When have I ever been jealous of you? You are nothing but a socialite with money and no brains. If you were not from a good family, do you think anyone would like you or even read your stupid books?" She said heatedly.

Hu Lei looked on with a little smile as Bei Gong Jiu played the part of privileged pitiful Cinderella and Ting Wan became the wicked stepsister with a chip on her shoulder.
