Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Jun’s eyes narrowed.

When did he meet Duan Ren?

He didn’t know when and how but his gut told him that it wasn’t anything good. On one side there was the ex-wife who was separated from Gu Rong and on another side was Cheng Yin who was thrown away from Chyou’s life.

They were in a similar position so…

Jun arched his brow.

Do they have similar motivations?

Yin continued laughing despite the pain numbing his senses. “What do you have to say now, Gu Yating? Always acting like the kind, gentle and perfect man but nobody knows the ugly truth of how your murderer father has raised you-”

*SLAP*

With a loud slap that sharply screeched in the air, Yin was left dumbfounded. He couldn’t make sense of what was happening and when he turned holding his cheek with his trembling palm, Chyou’s fierce figure stood before him.

“I cannot believe I fell for a man who could stoop so low in his life,” Chyou gritted her teeth. “Just what exactly do you think these baseless allegations will do?”

“You…you slapped me…” he hoarsely said.

“I should have slapped the hell out of you that day itself when I learned the truth. This slap actually came really late!”

Ai, Shui and Leina nodded their heads.

At that moment, Yin felt true fear. He thought that it was possible to manipulate Chyou if he would be smart about it, but seeing her defend Yating with all her might, he could see that plan crumbling.

“D-Don’t be blind, Chyou! How can you trust a man like him?”

Her fists clenched as she angrily let out a chuckle. “Trust a man like him? Perhaps because he hasn’t broken it or let me down at any point in my life? Perhaps because he was always a decent human being who stayed by my side as a good friend despite me hurting him every time? And I hurt him for whose sake? You?

You who kept fooling me every step of the way?”

Her eyes threatened to brim with tears but she didn’t dare let them show to Yin.

“Get the hell out of here, Yin. If you think you can achieve anything by maligning Yating or Uncle Rong like that, then you cannot be more foolish. I made the mistake of trusting you and giving you chances over and over again. I won’t make the same mistake twice. Get your disgusting face off my sight!”

Yating stared at her mildly trembling shoulders. Though she was facing off Yin with all her might, he could see a small tinge of fear, hopelessness and pain. At that moment, her figure felt incredibly small.

“Don’t be like this Chyou! H-He is a murderer! His father is a damn murderer! You are just putting yourself at risk by being with them!”

Siying scoffed. “As if she was so safe and cherished being with you?”

Yin threw daggers at him.

Jun let out a cold smile. “You should start walking away, Cheng Yin.”

Yin stiffened at his voice. Even now he remembered the time at the hospital when he had threatened to spill the truth of his addiction. He didn’t look any less of a monster.

Jun continued. “Because you know, you are calling the wrong person a murderer. If you want to see what a killer looks like, I will be more than happy to give you a glimpse of it.”

Everybody coughed. Ai remembered the time she had seen him coolly slashing that robber’s neck on a certain evening he had accompanied her to drop her home.

Ai nodded understandingly. “You wouldn’t want to see that because then you cannot unsee it.”

Jun’s mouth twitched. “I never told you to follow me.”

“I was just worried about your safety,” she sincerely said.

“That was unneeded.”

“It became crystal clear to me then as to who exactly needed safety.”

“…” freewёbnoνel.com

Siying smiled. “Will you leave or should I call the security here to throw you out? Maybe you understand that language better?”

Leina sneered. “Guess he only understands that language. If Dad had been here, he would have hung him upside down,” she sighed.

Chyou met his gaze dead on and said without any emotion, “Leave. And never approach me or my friends again. Since you had so much fun enjoying your life with Qiu, you should give your attention and care to her. But don’t ever come near me or I will skin you alive. Even looking at you now makes me feel like puking.”

“You…” he trembled. “H-How could you forget all the time we spent together Chyou? The times we were friends, the times we worked together and climbed this industry together!”

She smiled faintly. “I never forgot those happy times, Yin. I never once forgot them. You did, not me.”

Seeing how Chyou stubbornly maintained her stance, Yin had left no choice but to leave.

“You will regret this, Chyou. You will regret choosing Yating! His father is a monster so he is a monster too!”

Yating’s gaze went cold.

“You will understand it one day yourself,” he sneered. “That day won’t be far.”

Peace returned as Yin finally took off, albeit with pain hammering down on his face.

Shui’s face reddened with fury. “How shameless can he get to show his face despite what he did!”

Leina shook her head. “We cannot expect anything from such people,” she pursed her lips and softly held Chyou’s shoulder. “Chyou, don’t let him get to you, okay?”

Chyou shakily nodded.

Ai poked Yating’s shoulder and said, “You too. Cheng Yin is just fabricating nonsense to take revenge from you.”

Yating tried to smile but he couldn’t, which made Ai widen her eyes. “Don’t tell me you believe his words?”

“I don’t believe him, Ai. But I met Mom a few days ago.”

Jun blinked.

Duan Ren?

“I don’t know why she came to meet me. But…something happened between her and Dad that makes her feel really terrfied. So when I…I heard Yin’s words, I couldn’t help but think-”

Suddenly, Chyou slapped his cheeks with both of her palms and glared at him. “Couldn’t help but think that they might be true? No way. You will never think that way, Yating. He is just trying to manipulate you and make a mess of your head just like he did with me! Do you know Uncle Rong better or he does?

You cannot lose your trust in your father just because of a despicable man’s insecurity, got it?”
