Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

“Shit shit shit!” Duan Ren cursed out as she was walking away from the hospital. “What are you saying that Zhu Chyou know about us?”

Yin gritted his teeth. “What can you expect from her? Her father is the CEO of S3 and she is a hacker herself. She had all the pictures where we met!”

Duan Ren’s expression twisted.

“First there is Yating who refuses to hear me out and now that bitch Chyou is poking her nose-”

“Hey what the hell! Don’t you dare curse her!”

She sneered. “You don’t have to stand up for her when you have already slept with another woman. So tone down on that anger. Even if we keep her aside by now, the main problem is Gu Rong talking to him first because I am sure that if Yating listens to him first then he will garner all the sympathy!

He would twist the story in such a way that would make Yating pity him and in no way that should happen or we both lose our money tree.”

She narrowed her eyes. “Yating shouldn’t hear the truth from Rong.”

“About him killing somebody?” He rolled his eyes. “Does it even matter? Do you think Gu Yating or Chyou will forgive him? No matter what story he has to tell, he can never justify killing someone just like how in Chyou’s eyes, nothing can ever justify my cheating.”

He sneered. “So it will be a little two-faced to forgive one culprit but not another. How can Gu Yating and the Zhu family be hypocrites?”

“You are an actor yourself but you don’t understand anything! Don’t underestimate the man named Gu Rong. He has silenced many powerful people that ever came in his way.”

Yin raised his brow. “Then shouldn’t he have killed you too? After all, since you know his truth, you are also in his way. Yet he keeps stuffing you with money for your silence instead of actually silencing you for good. Heh. Did he really kill someone…or are you making things up for fattening your bank account?”

“Cheng Yin, mind your tone! Why will Rong give me so much alimony before and his money even now when I approached him months back if he is so innocent? He is not stupid. Obviously, his hands are stained in blood!”

“You keep saying that but you are yet to tell me who is that person that Gu Rong has killed?”

Duan Ren raised her brow.

“A very important person for whom Yating will never be able to forgive him but only if I get to tell Yating the truth first, not Rong. Rong will only manipulate the story to justify himself. That’s why…I need to do something about Rong.”

—

Today was the last day for Gu Rong to be in the hospital. He was fully recovered and ready to be discharged. The beam and relief on Yating and Butler Mo’s faces was unmistakable.

Butler Mo sniffled. “Finally you will be back home.”

Gu Rong tiredly grimaced. “Save your tears. You are crying as if I am dead.”

“Master! Please don’t say such ominous things!” He scolded him.

“My bad, my bad.”

He looked around and asked, “Where is…Yating? H-He didn’t come?”

“Of course he is here, Master. Young master is in the doctor’s office. He said he wanted to talk to him about your health in detail.”

He released a sigh. “I am fine now. He really doesn’t have to do this…”

Butler Mo solemnly said, “Let him do this, Master. He is already guilty of the ten years that were lost.”

“But I kept it hidden from him.”

“That doesn’t matter. Now he wants to do everything in his power to help you. He has been managing the company so well too…” Butler Mo cried emotionally once again.

Gu Rong’s gaze dimmed. “…I see.”

Butler Mo could gauge his thoughts but he knew he wouldn’t be able to convince him. Only Yating would be able to make him understand.

“Mr. Zhu and Miss. Chyou will also be coming in sometime.”

He shook his head helplessly. “There isn’t any need. I am fine now.”

He smiled. “Good luck telling them that. You must be hungry. I will bring some fruits for you. Till then please wait for young master to return.”

Gu Rong nodded.

Silence fell back in the ward and Gu Rong released a light breath. He stared at the ceiling and could feel his hands trembling.

Today he was going to get discharged which meant that the time to tell the truth to Yating was also approaching nearer and nearer. The very thought made him sweat and shiver.

Feeling slightly breathless, he gently closed his eyes. Like the doctor said, he tried some methods to calm down his racing heartbeats.

“Thinking of what lies to spin to your son?”

His eyes opened in a flash and his expression dropped pale as if hell had descended.

Duan Ren stood before him, her eyes twinkling with a sneer and her lips curved into a disdainful smirk.

“You…”

“Yes, me. Since Yating was so adamant in not talking to me, I thought-”

“Yating!? You…you dare show your face to-”

“Ssh,” she placed her finger on his lips. “Don’t shout so much, Rong. You have just recovered now, haven’t you? Do you want to get a heart attack again?”

Gu Rong harshly shook off her hand as his countenance bubbled with fury.

Duan Ren clicked her tongue. “At least show some love to your ex-wife, Rong.”

“Why did you…come here?” He spoke through a clenched jaw.

“Well I heard that my ex-husband suddenly collapsed so I thought why not drop by for a visit? And…” She leaned closer, “I also heard that you are finally willing to tell the truth to Yating. But I wonder just how much of the truth will you actually tell him? After all, you cannot bear to lose your son.”

He angrily laughed. “Do you think everybody is like you?”

She sneered. “At least I know what kind of a person you are. After all…you cruelly killed your first wife and Yating’s real mother.”
