Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Cai Lingyun stared at Ai, stupefied. “Ai, you…”

She gave a sharp and pointed look towards him, her voice filled with a tinge of coldness. “Bro Lingyun. I respect you as an elder brother. I also understand if you might be worried about me. But I won’t stand for anybody humiliating Jun like this. You are not only questioning his love but also his character. Who gave you that right? You or anybody else here?”

The people whispered among themselves. “Is it true? Liu Jun already met Zhou Ai’s parents?”

“If he met them, then isn’t their relationship serious?”

“She said he even bowed in front of them and confessed his past himself.”

“Is Liu Jun really sincere towards Zhou Ai? After all, who would dare to bring up their past in front of his girlfriend’s parents?”

Cai Lingyun helplessly said, “Ai, you are being blind in his love! I care about you. Who knows if he really won’t waver in the future?”

“I know, he won’t,” Ai squinted her eyes. “And that is enough. I don’t need anybody else’s certificate.”

He stiffened. The roughness in her voice shook him hard. He never saw Ai talking to him in that piercing tone. But only for Jun’s sake, she was ready to go against him.

She glanced at the crowd and commented. “And you all. I think everybody will fare much better in their lives if they focus on improving themselves instead of pointing fingers at others. You should also be afraid of karma hitting you. You are now enjoying someone else’s drama. I know more than half of the people here don’t even care about Jun possibly cheating on me or fighting for my justice. You just want entertainment, but be careful. Today, you are laughing at us. Tomorrow, you will become somebody else’s laughing stock. What goes around, comes around.”

“…”

Nian clicked his tongue, feeling the poison in her words.

It’s really so much better when I am not in the direct line of her attack.

Xing Bi gave her a thumbs up.

That’s my Ai~

Ai looked at Shui and continued. “If anybody has any decency here, please apologize to Jun and especially Han Shui.”

Shui glanced back at her, surprised.

“She doesn’t deserve all the insults you gave her. Compared to Han Shui, Jun would go pretty much unscathed by these accusations. For a man, it’s always fairly easy. But for a woman, once her character is judged, the world refuses to forgive her even if she is innocent.”

Some of them felt ashamed and lowered their heads while clearing their throats.

Ai held Jun’s hand and said, “We don’t have any reason to be here anymore. I was worried about you, and you are safe. So, let’s go.”

Jun wanted to hug Ai really badly. It was just like that time when she stood up for him during his breakup announcement.

“We will leave but before that…”

Jun seeped out a deadly and chilling aura as his dark gaze fell upon Cai Lingyun. He grabbed his shirt and gritted his teeth. “It was a very pathetic way to make me stoop low in Ai’s eyes,” he sneered, “What? Did you think that this would work? Or…” he leaned and whispered, “that Ai would fall in love with you because you came as a knight in shining armor for her?”

He froze.

“N-nonsense.”

“I know you have feelings for Ai. That’s why you are doing all this shit,” he smiled, “But it’s hopeless Cai Lingyun. Ai is only mine. You will never have any place in her heart even if I die, so forget about even trying because trust me if you don’t, then I will gouge your eyeballs out myself. I can squash you like a bug anytime.”

He felt his hair stand on the back of his neck. Jun’s threat brought goosebumps on his skin.

“I won’t tolerate another man eyeing my girlfriend,” he pushed him away with such force that he fell on his back.

“Get lost.”

​ —

Everybody returned to the hotel where they were staying with an addition of Shui in their group too.

Yunru eagerly jumped up and down. “Sister-in-law, you were so amazing! You shut everybody’s mouth so damn well! Hah! That’s what they deserve.”

Huan nodded with praise. “What you said was right. People are really getting nosy these days.”

Xing Bi proudly smirked. “Ai’s counterattack never fails. She can make people cough blood.”

Jun and Nian had absolutely no doubt about that, having the first hand experience of her verbal assaults.

Yunru said, “But I am surprised to see Shui here. Is everybody from the family coming one by one? Yesterday it was Bro Jin and now you.”

Shui smiled. “I just came at somebody’s invitation.”

Oh yeah! I forgot about Guiying! We were supposed to meet on the fourth floor.

She quickly typed a message to her and hit Send.

She then frowned.

Her last name is Cai and that man’s name was Cai Lingyun…Both surnames are the same.

“By the way, who was that man who made the ruckus?”

Jun’s expression twisted. “Just a useless bug who thinks he will win Ai’s love if he pulls such shit.”

Xing Bi was speechless. “Cai Guiying’s brother likes Ai?”

Shui rapidly blinked.

“Brother?”

“Yeah. I don’t know if you know her. Cai Guiying is CherryBlossom, and he is her brother. Even I met him today for the first time. But I didn’t know he liked Ai that way! How dare he eye my cute Ai?” Saying that, she smothered Ai’s face in her chest as usual.

And once again, Nian felt extremely jealous.

When will this time come for me!?

“I see…”

Guiying is a nice person, but her brother…she frowned with distaste.

Nian lazily asked, “By the way, how are you going to punish that man?”

Jun sneered. “Seems like he is too busy plotting these games, so he doesn’t need his job, right? I think making him jobless and penniless will be a good start. As for the staff of this fest who helped him play that video, they will suffer too.”
