Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Jun felt like his entire world fell silent. When Jin uttered those words that expressed an interest in Ai, he felt like something in his mind flipped.

His gaze lost focus, and all those painful memories of his past life began gripping and twisting his heart cruelly. He felt the darkness surrounding him once again. He felt the fear stabbing him yet again. His whole life had changed the moment Shui affirmed her feelings for Jin. He suffered a miserable life after that. The loss of his love made him go crazy and insensitive.

But this time, it was different. This was Jun’s second chance. He stayed away from Shui, making way for Jin and her to unite one day whenever it would come. Things were supposed to be different this time. He would stay far away from their lives, and Jin and Shui would get together one day.

Then why…Why does he like Ai now?

Jun felt blank. It was incomprehensible. There was no doubt about it that Jin liked Shui. So if he loved Shui so much, why would his object of affection suddenly change to Ai this time? Only because Liu Hai briefly brought them together? Only because he suggested that they looked fit to be a couple?

That didn’t make sense to him. He never thought Jin’s feelings were so fickle. It was nonsensical. It was ridiculous. But no matter how much Jun felt off with that logic, he just couldn’t bear Jin saying that he liked Ai.

He is not allowed to say that anymore…he chuckled with a trace of craziness in it. He took Shui away from me once already. Now, he wants to take Ai away from me too? Again? Again? Again?

His body moved before he could stop himself, and his fist hit Jin before he could think anything else. A murderous intent filled his heart upto the brim.

“Jun! Stop it,” Nana tried to stop him, her eyes getting wet with tears._.

Jun laughed. “Stop me? Nobody can stop me today…I will kill him. I will kill Jin today…”

Shui witnessed the scene unfold in horror. Jin’s lip was cut and blood trickled down his cheek. “Jin, stop it! Why are you doing this?”

He chuckled. “Isn’t it clear why he broke up-“

She gritted her teeth. “Jin, we broke up because I wanted it too!”

Silence.

Zhiyuan watched his daughter. “Shui…”

“Yes, Dad. Jun is right. We are not compatible. I…realized I wasn’t comfortable with our relationship when Jun g-grew more possessive…” her heart thudded faster. “It was getting difficult for me, and I was starting to avoid him unconsciously. That’s why when Jun said he wanted to break up, I felt it was for the best,” her eyes were moist as she spoke.

She looked at Jin. “So, please don’t blame Jun. I also…wanted this relationship to end. Please stop fighting! Why are you speaking so harshly to him? You…you also know he would never think of cheating on me.”

The two families watched her in shock. Jin gave her a cold stare.

Ai didn’t agree with Shui’s take on their relationship, but she appreciated that she came forward and clarified it too.

Jun grabbed Jin’s collar and laughed. “Are you satisfied now? Do you want to hear anything else!?”

Jinhai sprung on his feet and along with the twins, they were ready to pull Jun back when they saw he was going to hit again. But at that moment, Ai grabbed his wrist and poured all her strength in her grip to stop him. When he felt that somebody stopped his hand, the rage inside him only intensified and worsened.

“Who fucking dare-“

When he felt Ai’s arms gently wrap around him, he stirred a little. Her scent reached the tip of his nose, and the fumes of danger and insanity his aura emanated slowly seemed to calm down though the madness hadn’t completely dissolved.

“Why are you so angry?”

“Are you really asking me that question?” His voice sounded detached.

“Yes. There is no need to get angry because no matter what he has to say, I will always be your girlfriend.”

She peered into her eyes, who were staring back at her with a hint of coldness in them. They were threatening as if saying that there was no choice for Ai to choose Jin at any cost. His gaze was vicious and frightening.

But Ai didn’t even flinch with that pressure. She gave it some thought and then leaned to place a soft peck on his lips.

That scene simply short-circuited everybody’s minds. Nobody had any clue what to say next. The twins coughed hard while Nuo gasped.

Jun felt the touch of her lips against his, and his daze snapped. He blinked several times at her. He didn’t know what just happened, but the resentment piling up in his heart just flew away miraculously.

Ai beamed seeing the focus return in his eyes. “Good,” she patted his head. “Don’t be angry anymore.”

Inwardly, she was actually blushing furiously for kissing him in front of so many people. But she somehow hid her embarrassment.

Jin touched his cheek that was stinging with the impact of Jun’s punches. He felt the taste of his warm blood. Nuo and the twins helped him get on his feet, but he refused their help. “I am fine.”

He got up on his own and dusted his shirt, staring hard at Jun and Ai.

Jinhai spoke with an untraceable coldness in his voice, “Go back to your room, Jin.”

Nana agreed. “E ough fighting. Jin. You have spoken enough.”

She watched her two sons at each other’s throats for the first time like this. Jun and Jin were closest to each other and seeing them fight like this broke her heart.

“Nuo, go take care of Jin’s bruises.”

Nuo bit her lip and nodded. “Jin. Come with me.”

Grandma Liu gritted her teeth. “See! This woman already caused such a big argument between them! I have never seen them fight before. And now in just one day, Jun went as far as to hit his own brother…”

Jun heard her words and chuckled inwardly.

Just in one day…It’s not just in one day, Grandma. An entire lifetime has passed by. It’s not just now…

Nian’s unemotional eyes fell on his youngest brother. “I will talk to you later.”

Jin eyed him. “I will not-“

“Leave,” Nian cut him off.

“Bro-“

“Get. Out.” The threat in his voice was unmistakable. If Jin opposed him one more time, then he would have it from him.

Jin remained silent and then quietly left when Nuo urged him. “Come, Jin.”

Nian stared at Jun and Ai and narrowed his eyes. “Take him back, Zhou Ai.”

Jun raised his gaze. “I won’t go back. Not unless I make Jin understand that he can never have Ai. He cannot think about Ai because she is mine. How dare…how dare he say that he is interested in Ai? There is no way-“

“Leave, Jun,” Nian gave an ultimatum. “This discussion ends here.”

Jun clenched his fists to which Nian’s dangerous aura only peaked higher. “When I said leave, you should listen to me, Jun. Don’t make me angry by not listening to me.”

Ai understood the need of calmness here. She held onto his arm and softly said, “Let’s go.”
