The Villain’s Wife Chapter 255

Chapter 254 Plot Against Everyone

“See? I told you everyone loves a sad story.” Lily turned off the tablet that was live streaming  the Mu sisters scandal . She then looked at Zhuo Jingren who was sitting opposite to her. “President Zhuo is really idle. Can you please remind me why  you are here staring at me, instead of your office? It’s not even lunch break, yet.” She smiled.

“I thought you wanted me to stop working and just stay with you?”

“When did I say that I want you to stay with me twenty-four hours? I said, stay at home and hide your beautiful face.” She countered, mirth apparent in her eyes before she leaned on her chair.

“Why do I feel like a wife being told by her husband to obediently stay at home while he earns some money for her to shop?”

“Because that is exactly what I was saying.” Lily chuckled. “Seriously, If you don’t like working in your company, why don’t we do a merger and have me manage your company as well?”

“If that happens, people will say that you married me because of my company.”

“I did marry you because of your company. Those people are just too dumb not to figure it out.” She laughed, creating a light environment as Zhuo Jingren joined her.

“Now you sound like a money grabbing, greedy gold digger who married me for my wealth.”

“And body.” Lily smirked and before she could react, Zhuo Jingren already rose from his seat and suddenly scooped her up into a princess carry her towards the couch. “Hey… stop it. We should not be doing things like these in broad daylight.”

Her words only earned a chuckle from her husband. “Then what should we be doing in broad daylight?” she heard him whispered in her ear as she felt him sat down on the couch, with her on his lap.

“Plotting against our enemies, of course. We are villains, we are supposed to plot against everyone.” She answered.

Another boisterous laughter erupted inside Lily’s office. “I actually came here to watch the video with you and to celebrate.” Zhuo Jingren said before he kissed her neck.

“What are we going to celebrate? Mu Lihua didn’t see me yet.”

“She will… once a rat is cornered they will be forced to fight  and a confrontation is inevitable.” He answered. “I already assigned two other people to always follow you around. Secretly of course.”

“Days ago, you wanted to kidnap Mu Lihua to flush out her mother. Then kidnap her mother and torture her for information, now you are praising me for my plans and even agreed that Mu Lihua will see me soon. Say, is this you being a supportive husband or are you just impressed  by my classy methods? “

“Impressed.” He answered shortly. “My methods are not classy to say the least. I don’t need class to rule my empire.”

“How brute.” Lily noted before she grinned. “I love it.”

“Hmmm…” he nodded as he started trailing kisses down her neck. However, their moment  was interrupted when someone knocked on the door and before they could answer, Bei Tian came in with Secretary Go and Yang Mi, bringing boxes of food.

“Hey… to my favorite couple.” Bei Tian grinned and ignored the fact that he just interrupted them. “I am here to freeload.” He declared as he took a seat on another couch and instructed Yang Mi and Secretary Go to place the food on the center table.

“Why are you here?” Zhuo Jingren instantly asked, his brows knitted.

“I heard we will celebrate.”

“What’s there to celebrate?” Lily asked. “Mu Lihua was not my target.”

“Oh… then I am here to eat.” Bei Tian answered, ignoring his friends dark face. Inwardly Bei Tian was already laughing. Who would have thought that he would disturb a making out session? Good for them, he thought while inwardly laughing.

Meanwhile, Mu Lihua’s face was hot and scarlet red. She could practically feel her veins bulging, threatening to burst anytime from too much anger. She clenched her fist as she continued to pace inside her office.

She could not postpone her meeting and her advisers told her it is best to resign and have her father take over the company. How could she let her father take over? She worked so hard to have this position, to be respected in an industry that is ruled by men. She had planned and schemed carefully. She had it all under control. And yet now…. She is watching her name crumble and get destroyed in a span of weeks.

Her reputation is in shambles and people would forever brand her as the vicious sister. While everyone pitied Mu Qingling!

“Lihua, I think you should listen to Chairman Mu. He can handle this and save the mall. Just let him take over for now. You are not in the right state to handle a business. I’m sure that the investors would agree. It is better to resign on your own than being kicked out from the company. We all know that would be more embarrassing for you.” The voice of his adviser echoed inside her mind again. She already ordered them to leave her and yet, that voice seemed to follow her around.

Mu Lihua took a deep breath as she tried to call her mother’s number. She knew her mother would be able to stop her father. She knew her mother would always defend her.

‘Unreachable’

Mu Lihua was not able to stop herself from cursing. Why is her mother unreachable at this time? She sat on her swivel chair and drummed her fingers on the table before she raked her fingers into her hair. The current situation is making her so confused.

After a few seconds of thinking for a possible reason why Zhuo Jingren would go all out in targeting her, Mu Lihua gave up. The last time she interacted with Zhuo Jingren was years ago. She does not remember offending him to the point of him destroying her name like this.

Mu Lihua’s train of thoughts were interrupted when the door of her office opened, revealing her father.

She narrowed her eyes at the man. “Father…” She said as suspicion started to drown her mind.. “Tell me… do you know why Zhuo Jingren is targeting me like this?”

There is no RAPE or MAJOR MISUNDERSTANDINGS. WARNING: FL is scheming and evil.

Like almost every dramatic romance novel, Lily Qin’s story began with an evil stepmother, a scheming stepsister, and a dumb ex-fiance. At twenty, she fell prey to their grand scheme and became the laughingstock of the country. In despair, she left.


Seven years later, Lily Qin rose from the ashes.


She was labeled as an empress, an iron lady, a genius, and a prodigy. She was Miss Tycoon.


Now, at twenty-seven, Lily Qin was an established businesswoman who was single-handedly controlling her multinational company abroad. She was beautiful, smart, and successful. Women envied her while men couldn’t help but worship her ethereal beauty.


With her devastating past, everyone had assumed that Lily would exact revenge on the people who had wronged her. Who would have guessed that behind that beaming smile of hers was a numb heart that aimed only to make more profit?

"You got it wrong." Lily elegantly propped her chin on the back of her hand. "I am seeing you today because we have something in common. We're both villains in somebody else's eyes. And I think it's time for us villains to get our own happy ending. Don't you think so?"


---


Zhuo Jingren’s love for Lily Qin was something that only he knew. Ever since they were children, he had his eyes on her. Yet, every time he had tried to confess, he would end up fainting from nervousness.


So when Lily Qin promised to marry him if he became richer than her, Zhou Jingren did not hesitate to leave the orphanage and work his way up just to become her man.


Who would have thought that years later, when he was successful and feared by many, he would come back to an engaged Lily Qin?


Then she mistook him for an escort after eating his tofu? Preposterous!


The worst thing was, she seemed to have forgotten everything about him. Hadn’t she promised to marry him the moment he became more prominent than her family? Now, after taking advantage of him, she dared to run away?

This woman was a liar!

He gritted his teeth as he watched her approach him. He was about to say something mean when she suddenly spoke. “Are you my new bodyguard?” She did not even wait for him to answer before tossing her car keys at him. “Drive. Let’s go wreak some havoc.”


Thus, the mafia’s big boss became Lily Qin’s bodyguard.

"So? What do you want as a compensation?" Zhuo Jingren asked her once again before laying down next to her. His elbow was resting on the ground and his palm was supporting his head as he looked at her intently.

The first thing that Lily noticed about Zhuo Jingren when he laid next to her was his exposed tanned chest. This made him look more casual… and hot. She didn't even realize she was staring at the latter.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" He smirked at her. "Do you want me to compensate you with my body?"

Lily immediately rolled her eyes at the latter. "Who wants your body? Hmp! I want money!"

"Your mind is always thinking of money but your body actually betrays you. Am I right to say that I have a shameless wife?"

"Hah! I am a strong and independent woman of the 21st century. I know what I want. But if you insist on giving your body, I will take it too!" Lily shamelessly said, taking off her stilettos. However, just when Lily was about to lie down beside Zhuo Jingren, he suddenly pulled her on top of him. With her body on top of his, their faces were really close and they could even feel each other's breath.

"What a shameless woman," he noted, the smile on his face only deepened.
