Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

"Jun did that?" Chyou asked as she was left completely stunned.

When did Jun learn about Yin's addiction?

"Yes. And that idiot Cheng Yin kept blaming you!" Sun Jiang shook her head. "Thank God you are out of his life. He didn't trust you with anything!" Her gaze flashed coldly.

An Guoting nodded. "We should be really grateful to him."

Hiding behind a tree at a distance with his grandmother, Xiang scratched his head.

"Liu Jun huh…"

"Aish the Liu siblings are so sweet."

"Yeah that…Oh that reminds me of something. Wasn't Dad going to meet him today?"

"In S3?"

"I don't know but this morning I heard Dad take his name. But I really wonder how he learned about everything."

"I am grateful for all your help, Jun," Xiaosi said, facing Jun, who sat opposite to the CEO's seat.

Jun shook his head. "You don't have to thank me for anything, Uncle. I only want to see Chyou happy, that's all."

Xiaosi stared at him with scrutiny. "How…did you know everything? Right from Cheng Yin skipping his appointments and then cheating on Chyou with that assistant…"

In the confrontation last night, Xiaosi had said that he dug the truth about Yin all by himself. But the truth was that it was Jun who gathered all the evidence against Yin through the shadows and told everything to Xiaosi.

Xiaosi had indeed tracked the woman to be Qiu who leaked the pictures but it was Jun who went one step ahead and put before him his own pictures where Yin and Qiu were together for several nights.

Jun had no proper and reasonable answer to give to Xiaosi. He had seen Chyou's life going downhill because of Yin. He knew everything about him and what kind of a person he was. A person like Cheng Yin would only repeat history. That's just what happened.

He betrayed Chyou's trust and stopped all his efforts to become clean.

He cheated on her with other women after marriage.

He was an angry young man who always spoke and accused Chyou of nonsense in a fit of fury.

Jun swore he would never let things go as far as marriage and protect Chyou from him. He would expose Yin in this life and make him suffer hell like he always deserved.

He simply had to wait for the right time and collect evidence whenever he took even a single wrong step. But even outside Jun's expectations, things moved pretty quickly for him.

And it happened only because of Yating's presence. Yating and Chyou's friendship that only grew closer with time that ultimately affected Yin and he showed his true colors.

Gu Yating…

In the previous life, there had never been much interaction between Chyou and Yating. Chyou dated Yin and Yating dated Guiying so their paths never crossed.

Is it the cascade effect of Ai and my fate changing? He wondered.

He brought his attention back to Xiaosi who curiously awaited his answer. He coughed.

"I just never liked Cheng Yin in the first place. He smelled bad news."

"Really?" He squinted his eyes. "Because it seems that you were pretty sure of the specifics of what would happen. It almost felt like you have some magical powers."

Jun coughed hard and laughed nervously. "H-How can that be possible, Uncle? I am just a human. I don't have any powers," he slightly averted his eyes.

I only know what happened in the past.

Xiaosi figured he wouldn't get the real answer from him so he dropped the topic. To him it only mattered that Chyou was protected and saved from such a messy relationship before it got too late.

Jun asked, "...How is she doing?"

Xiaosi leaned back on his chair with a somber expression. "What you would expect. She didn't sleep last night. She is at her grandparents' place now. I only hope she feels better in their company."

Jun slowly nodded. He then said, "Chyou will be fine, Uncle. She is very strong."

Even though Chyou was defeated left and right in the last life, she still rose to her feet and became the Queen as she rightfully was.

Xiaosi's irises mysteriously shone. "Yes. She will be fine. She has so many people to care for her. She will find out her way from this darkness sooner or later. Now nothing is holding her back."

Jun blinked his eyes. There was a pleased and serene look on Xiaosi's face as if he wasn't really worried about the future. He cocked his brow and Yating came to his mind.

Maybe because of him…

"How is Ai doing?"

"As always hopping and chirping. She is very concerned for Chyou. She will definitely come flying to meet her at any time."

Xiaosi chuckled. "That's good. Chyou needs all kinds of good changes. I was wondering if they could have an all girls pajama party or something."

"Oh that's cool. Ai will be the happiest," his brow twitched.

"You don't seem to be pleased."

"I am afraid I won't get my Ai back if I leave her with Chyou. Chyou is as dangerous to me as other men eyeing Ai," he plainly stated.

Xiaosi burst into laughter. "Well what can I say? She has got all the charming genes from my wife."

Jun chuckled.

I think Aunt has the opposite to say, he thought.

Qiu clutched her bag and stood in front of the set's entrance. Her eyes were red and puffed up and her face looked haggard as if she aged by ten years. She slowly stepped in and immediately, shocked gasps echoed throughout the set.

"Hey it's her!"

"She is the one Cheng Yin slept with!"

"The nerve of her to come to the set after what happened! She seduced the Queen's boyfriend and now comes here as if nothing happened!?"

"I cannot believe she can be that shameless!"

Qiu bit her lip with all the disdainful gazes and daggers being thrown at her. Tears pooled in her eyes as all the poisonous words stung her.

With all the commotion, the director arrived and stood before her. Qiu straightened up and apologized. "Please forgive me, Sir. I g-got a little late today…"

"You don't have to ask for forgiveness because you don't need to come here again."
