Chapter 632: Chapter 631 A Depressing Topic

Chapter 631 A Depressing Topic

She met her husband's eyes. "In a world full of you and me. People like Madam He… are just unfortunate, aren't they?" she said.

"Well… this is a dog eat dog world. Everyday, people are taken advantage of. It's just how life is." He stared at her. "Don't tell me you are starting to feel bad for Madam He?"

"Of course I feel bad for her. Do you think my heart is made of stone?" She chuckled. "As a woman. I feel bad. I am watching her ruin her own life because of what I said. Of course… I feel something."

"And… do you blame yourself?"

"Of course not. Why would I blame myself for her choices? I gave her a gun. Is it my fault if she chooses to shoot herself?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Talking like a true Villain." he grinned.

"Come on." Lily rolled her eyes. "We are all Villains. Some are just smarter and more influential than others. But… all in all. All of us are villain's in someone's eyes."

"A strict father is a villain to his teenage daughter's love life. A doting mother could be the villain to her son's marriage." She shrugged. "The thing is… at some point, we always think that we are right. We all have stories and we all have reasons for our behavior."

"I know you would say that." Zhou Jingren smiled. If only he could block all this negativity so that Lily couldn't feel it, he would have done it a long time ago.

The thing is… this was their world. This has been Lily's world even before they met a year ago. This is the kind of world that molded her into who she is now.

"Humans are more vulnerable than most animals. I mean.. We have the capability to think but also overthink. We can smile on the outside while we cry every night when we are alone. Animals just worry about food, sex and for a good habitat to live in. While we… we worry about everything else." Lily said. "Our mental capability makes us strong and vulnerable at the same time."

In the case of Madam He, her mentality has a big influence on how she makes all the choices in her life. In Madam He's mind, Gannon is her knight in shining armor. The only person who showed her what love truly is. How could she let go of someone like that?

"This is actually true." He nodded. "We are programmed that way."

Lily let out a sigh. "We should stop talking about this. It is a depressing topic." She then stood up from the couch and pulled him towards the kitchen so they could have their dinner.

"You know… about that case. The one against the Security Company?" Lily asked while eating a drumstick.

"Hm? What about it."

"That woman… the one who filled a case was nowhere to be seen. Its as if… she ran away? But you already know this, right?"

"Yes. Her location is currently unknown."

"Well… this is enough proof that someone strong is indeed helping her with this case. I mean… surely, she does not have the money to hide from us. Moreover, I also used my connections to check the women's rights group if they sheltered her. Which was completely understandable. But… they didn't."

"Hmmm… I thought so too." He nodded. "And that woman's statement was too… scripted. It was as if… she practiced it over and over and over again. You know… reminds me of someone in a tape recorder."

"That is true. Good catch. I already sent the audio to Qin Yuanfeng so he could analyze it. For now… all we can do is wait."

"Speaking of Qin Yuanfeng. How is he? He is staying in your grandmother's mansion, isn't he?"

In response, Lily shook her head. "No. He is staying in my previous flat. He said… the mansion was too big for him. He felt like… someone was watching him all the time."

Zhou Jingren instantly lifted an eyebrow. "I never thought that he was such a scaredy cat."

"That mansion is old. Even I feel scared staying in a place where my grandmother and grandfather died." Lily shrugged. "Plus that house has a lot of secret doors. I was not able to prove it. It just felt like… you know… like someone is watching me as I sleep?"

"But… we don't really know. At that time, I was pretty depressed so maybe I was imagining things. Or maybe it was the maid just moving my things while I was asleep." She added.

"Well.. Don't tell me that my dear wife is really afraid of ghosts?"

"I told you! It is better to have a living human as an enemy than a ghost. You can kill humans! Ghosts are already dead! How are you going to defeat them? Even a black belt in all martial arts is useless against them!" she glared. She actually had a point, right?

….

Mainland China, Chen Shi's flat,

Contrary to Lily and Zhou Jingren's peaceful night, Chen Shi was having the worst time since coming to Mainland China.

Tearing the tabloid in her hand, Chen Shi walked towards her laptop and started reading the mean comments from her fans. She gritted her teeth, displeasure apparent in her eyes. 

"That damn Jun Liang!" She hissed. Since Jun Liang declined her request, Chen Shi had been experiencing outbursts like this. Chen Shi was used to using people, manipulating men to her advantage. She was the type to always find a way to win.

She is the one who blackmails people, scares them and uses them. She is smart and cunning. And she has never failed with her methods.

Until now, Chen Shi could not understand why Jun Liang did not agree to her demands. Was he not afraid to lose his precious reputation in Singapore? Was it because he knew that Chen Shi could not release this news at this time?

If Chen Shi releases this news, she was sure that the media would shred her claims and accuse her of trying to gain sympathy by using a controversial issue like this. Did Jun Liang become smart enough to know this?

She gritted her teeth as she closed her laptop. This matter… she needed to wait before this issue about her being the worst mother died down. Only then, could she actually take her next steps.
