Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chyou acted upon those words and shone once again as the top actress. Despite all the setbacks, she had made her way back. It was the biggest achievement of her life. All her rivals who laughed at her misery and thought she could never return to her former glory were thrown like garbage by her dazzle.

Chyou proved that a queen will always remain a queen.

But no matter how much accolades she received for her performances, her heart had become an empty shell. She drowned in her work to forget the pain of her child loss. To forget how much she loved Cheng Yin, who returned her feelings with a betrayal. She rose in her career, but her heart had fallen forever.

She never remarried and neither did her family force her to. Her heart was so shattered that she had no courage to fall in love once again.

Jun remembered everything as if a movie was playing in his mind. Even with this second life, he felt as if it just happened yesterday.

Only if Cheng Yin had taken her seriously and made an effort to stop using drugs, her life wouldn’t have turned out the way it had.

Ai glanced at Jun and caught the small tear drop at the corner of his eye. With his expression, she knew that he knew more about Chyou’s life. She was just a fan, and she only learned what was shown in the media and news. She saw everything from afar. But Jun and her families were close, so he had personally seen what really happened and how Chyou truly suffered.

Ai’s gaze burned with resentment, thinking of the past. She was afar and just a fan, but that didn’t mean she kept quiet. When the whole world was pitying Chyou and her lost career because of Cheng Yin, it was Ai who first stood up and spoke against Cheng Yin.

People took it to be normal that actors used a little bit of drugs here and there. It was nothing serious. But that’s exactly what Ai raised her voice against this bullshit of an excuse. And since she herself had suffered betrayal from Yating, she resonated with her even more when Chyou was cheated.

It was because of Ai that masses slowly thought of the matter in the right direction and supported Chyou wholeheartedly instead of pitying her.

Chyou watched the couple’s eyes with bewilderment. “What has happened to you two? Why did the atmosphere suddenly turn so glum? We were having so much fun with Jun-cute.”

This time, Jun didn’t get furious. Instead, he wondered what sort of torture he should make Cheng Yin go through.

Drugs, cheating and child loss…that bastard made Chyou go through hell…

Ai cleared her throat and smiled. “Nothing. Jun must be thinking of how to separate us.”

Chyou sneered “He won’t dare. I am the elder one here and elders rule. If he tries to do something funny, I will kiss you on your lips.”

“…”

Ai blushed furiously and buried her face in her palms.

Jun was left speechless. “The hell are you talking about kissing my girlfriend right in front of me!? And Ai, you! Stop blushing! Only I can claim your lips, remember that! She is a woman. A WOMAN!”

Ai shyly twirled the lock of her hair. “I-If it’s Zhu Chyou, then I-I don’t mind…”

Jun gritted his teeth. “Okay, that’s enough. We will go straight out after I hand this laptop to her!”

He put the bag on the table and took out Zixin’s laptop. “This is Bro Zixin’s laptop and what I came here for ORIGINALLY. Can you take a look and see if you can recover the data inside?”

“Hmph. Coming between Ai and my lovely time…”

His brow twitched.

Chyou then looked stern. “But yes, this is important. His accident was horrible. I want that culprit punished as much as you do. What about Zixin and the driver Chi?”

Jun softly replied. “Bro Zixin will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, but Driver Chi has to remain for sometime…”

She pursed her lips. “I understand. Hope he gets his memories back soon. It reminds me of the time when Dad had lost his memories…”

Ai was taken aback. “Mr. Zhu lost his memories?”

“Yes,” she gave a sorrowful smile. “He had a brain tumor and one incident made him lose his memories. He didn’t remember Mom or me. That was a difficult time. I was just six back then and to see that he didn’t remember me was painful.”

Ai quickly said, “I am sorry…”

She chuckled. “No, silly. What are you apologizing for? That is the past now. We overcame it and thankfully, Dad’s memories returned one day though not in an ideal way…” her gaze darkened, thinking of how her grandma had planned an accident against her own son.

Chyou smiled. “I know Zixin’s memories will be back too once again.”

She then ran her fingers across the laptop and studied the laptop’s condition. “Water seems to have entered quite deeply. The main motherboard must be definitely corrupt by now. It’s all cracked too. The fall impact has damaged the circuit.”

Jun anxiously asked, “Can it be fixed?”

Chyou winked. “You are talking to me, Jun-cute. I can fix this, but it will take sometime, especially data recovery.”

He nodded. “That’s fine. As long as I get any hint of what Bro knew…”

There was a moment of silence.

“Anyway, I will let you know once I get any leads on this.”

*Knock knock*

“Come in.”

An assistant opened the door and asked, “Mam, are you free now? There is a man outside waiting for you.”

Chyou blinked and then widened her eyes. “Oh, yes! I totally forgot that he was going to come today to meet me.”

Jun said, “No problem. We are done here anyway. You can go ahead and meet him.”

“I think you know that man very well…”

Jun and Ai were confused. “Who?”

They heard footsteps that halted as the man came into the room. Jun and Ai turned their heads and froze.

Jun gnashed his jaw and furiously exclaimed. “Gu Yating!?”
