The Villain's Wife

Chapter 528 My Next Ink

While Zhou Jingren and Lily were having a blissful night, Yu Jing and Qiao Qiao are having the exact opposite. In China, the night wasn't so peaceful at all. 

While the two were tangled in bed as they kissed each other, Yu Jing suddenly received a call from his mother.

"What are you talking about?"

"Is this true?" the accusatory voice of her mother made Yu Jing frowned. "Are you sleeping with one of your artists?"

"What are you — " He walked towards his computer and opened it. What he saw almost made his eyes popped out of their sockets. 

"Answer me, Jing! Did you really get involved in something like this with a lowly actress?" His mother's words brought him out of surprise. 

"She is not just a lowly actress!" Yu Jing hissed. "How dare you call her a lowly actress, mother? Did you forget? You were once an actress too!"

"You!" He heard his mother's voice trembled. "How dare you talk to me like that?"

"I don't want you to look down on her!"

"What are you talking about? Have you forgotten about your father and grandfather? Have you gone crazy? They will remove you from the will if you keep on embarrassing our family like this!?"

"Mother! You think… you think this is embarrassing?" In Yu Jing's mind, how could one be embarrassed because of love? How could his mother speak as if this is such an embarrassment?

"What is embarrassing is when you are sleeping with another woman while being engaged to another! Yu Jing! Do you want to murder me? Do you want me to die from heart problems? Solve this matter as soon as possible! I don't want your fiance to know this! Leave that Qiao Qiao and stop seeing her!"

"I can't do that." He said as he eyed the fragile Qiao Qiao waiting for him on his bed.

"You— "

"I will introduce her to grandfather's birthday. Let's talk when you are already calm." He then ended the call without waiting for his mother to say something.

"Did something happened?" Qiao Qiao asked. Her brows furrowed. "Why is your mother so angry?"

"I think you should go home for now." Yu Jing dialed his secretary's number and instructed him to send Qiao Qiao home.

"But why?" Qiao Qiao's eyes reddened. "Did I… upset you? Did I do something wrong?"

"No. Of course not." Yu Jing sighed before pulling him into a hug. "You know what? Let's just stay here. Stay here and hide for now. I will fix this."

"What is the problem?"

"Someone released images of us online." He said. "Don't worry. I will contact the same group that I paid before. I will have them remove this in a few minutes."

"Images of us?" Qiao Qiao frowned. She had been careful not to be seen with Yu Jing. She had avoided cameras and make sure to wear a scarf and big sunglasses that covered most of her face every time she is with him. "What kind of photos?" She eyed Yu Jing who was now back at his computer. Eyeing the screen, her face immediately turned pale. "How — How did they get those?"

"It was an image of her in a robe sitting next to Yu Jing! There were also photos of her sitting on his lap and kissing him. It was pretty obvious that all these photos were taken inside Yu Jing's flat. She eyed the floor to ceiling windows in his room as she shivered. Was it possible that… "Jing… the window."

"That is impossible. That is a reinforced glass. Someone from the outside cannot see what is going on inside my flat." He answered. Yu Jing dialed the number of the person that he paid to create those photos towards Lily. He frowned when he heard the operator's voice informing him that the owner is currently unavailable.

Seeing Yu Jing's troubled expression, Qiao Qiao bit her lips as she stared at the photos. Suspicion raced inside her. Was it possible that this was Lily's work? But… how did she found out about her and CEO Yu? Did she underestimate her all along?

'Impossible!' she thought inwardly. She made a meticulous plan! There is no way that Lily would know about her, and CEO Yu as she was very careful. Moreover, If Lily wanted revenge, she could easily do it with CEO Yu. After all, he was the one who did all those things. He paid the hackers and the people who created online rumors against Lily.

It wasn't her. Qiao Qiao was just a bystander watching everything from her bubble. This was already in her plans. She wanted other people to do it for her so she could have a clean exit once Lily deals with those people.

She never thought that it would be possible for Lily to include her in this matter. First, there was Cindy who was involved with Zhou Jingren in the news. Then there were the rumors of Lily bullying Cindy in the photoshoot that Qiao Qiao had set up in advance. She originally expected that Lily would confront Cindy and would make the naive woman cry. 

While Lily did the opposite, Qiao Qiao was still able to use it to convince Yu Jing that this only showed how Lily looks down on every actress. This was proof that what she told Yu Jing about Lily's actions in Hong Kong was true. Then the rumors of bullying was released. 

She was able to use every scenario to attack Lily while also protecting herself. She didn't involve her name and acted low key. So how could Lily involve her in something like this? 'I shouldn't panic,' she comforted herself. She could still use this and turned around the situation against Lily.

While Qiao Qiao's mind was thinking of retaliation and schemes. Yu Jing's mind was about to explode as he read the email that was sent by the person that he paid to destroy Lily's name.

No, it wasn't an email. It was a message written in blood. It was something that he never expected to get anytime soon. It was a threat.

"What is that?" Qiao Qiao leaned closer to look at the screen. Her eyes widened as she read the message.

*DO IT AGAIN*

*AND YOUR BLOOD WILL BE MY NEXT INK*
