BXBX NOVEL Chapter 560 Women
The Villain’s Wife 560 Women
"Mother... I say we should not let that woman into our house!" Liu Chin fumed. She clenched her hands and glared at the tall gates towering over them. "She is so... rude."
"Chin Chin... you are still young." Jiang Ruo said. "Lily is a tycoon. She is like your grandfather and her net worth is even more than your father’s." Sure enough, her words immediately calm the younger woman down. "She has the right to act whatever she pleases."
"Does this mean... we are going to let her bully us? Why do we have to bend just to cater to her wants?" Liu Chin said.
"Stop it Chin Chin." Her mother reprimanded. "Lily doesn’t need us. But she is still a part of this community. We should not turn our backs on her."
Liu Chin frowned at her mother’s words. Turn their backs on Lily? What does that even mean? Why does her mother is making it look like as if Lily needed their help? In the end Liu Chin maintained her silence. Sometimes, it is easier to shut her mouth than talk to her mother and her friends.
"I believe it was because she came from the west." Jiang Ruo uttered. For Jiang Ruo, Lily’s disrespect is nothing compared to the future benefits that she will bring in her family.
Jiang Ruo looked at the greeneries outside of the car as she thought of the Old Man’s request to talk to Lily and Zhou Jingren at his birthday party. The old man is not really the type that would have a private conversation with people that he does not admire. This only meant that Lily might be the key to winning the old man’s will.
The thought of the will immediately made her mood even worse. What kind of man would leave a blank will? A will that says whoever will win would become the owner of his properties abroad and his company? Everyone is just too confused about the old man’s will. They are all too wary and nervous about this matter.
A mad man. That old man is a madman. That is the only thing that should be enough to describe him.
Her husband told her that the old man deliberately did this so his children would not kill him. Knowing that the will was not set, no one would dare attack him and risks losing their rights to the company.
In Jiang Ruo’s mind, getting close to Lily instead of becoming her enemy is the key to her family’s safety. Of course, this is something that she guessed from her own instinct about the woman. She felt that whatever is coming will involve Lily and her husband.
So why not just have a relationship with them now?
...
"Now... I am sure that they are up to something," Lily uttered as she accepted the freshly sliced fruits from Yang Mi. "Their persistence is truly... very surprising."
"I believe they wanted to create a network." Yang Mi answered. This is fairly normal for rich women. These are the type of people who wanted to get close to someone that could benefit them. It was like a business but theirs involves, gossips and shopping.
"Hmmm... that is right." She glanced at the artwork and smiled. She truly looked pretty with the gems that sparkled under the light. "How was the thing that I asked you to do?"
"I found out that Mr. Zhang is indeed sleeping with a model. A new one. However, unlike the previous ones, he seemed to spoil this woman with gifts." Yang Mi answered.
"Really?"
"Yes... also... Mr. Zhang has been seen in the woman’s flat twice this week. He is trying to hide this fact but our people got some pictures of him sneaking out of the building. He seemed to really like this woman."
"Good! It is always nice to like someone." Lily smiled as she continued eating the fruits. "And Thomas?"
"Well... he agreed to meet here in Hong Kong."
"Wonderful!" Lily beamed.
"Also," Yang Mi made a deliberate pause as she glanced at Lily. "We found something else."
"Hmm?"
"Samantha Chen." Yang Mi said. "She is related... to Chen Shi. We can’t confirm this yet, but Bei Tian is already working on it. This might be the reason she is with Adrian."
Lily turned silent at Yang Mi words. She remembered her last conversation with Samantha and how she always mentioned that she didn’t have a choice. "So... it wasn’t just because of her father?" Lily asked.
"Her father is really ill and Adrian is helping her out with contacting the best doctors for her father."
Lily nodded as she frowned. She could never forget the sadness in Samantha’s eyes the last time that they had a conversation. Slowly an idea sprouted in Lily’s mind. First Zhou Jingren and Demi’s marriage. Then Adrian and Samantha’s marriage. Isn’t that too obvious? Chen Shi wanted access to the Lee Family’s wealth.
But why? Was it because of greed? Hate? Or... revenge?
Lily maintained her silence until Zhou Jingren arrived. She then started telling him about the things that she discovered.
"Do you think... there is a connection that we are missing?" Lily asked. Someone like Chen Shi would not have schemed like this without an excellent motivation. It is only reasonable that something pushed her to go as far as sacrificing her own daughter for her cause.
"I will call mother and talk to her about it." Zhou Jingren said. "I believe she was planning something big... but she did not expect you to come in the picture."
"That is true." Lily nodded.
....
Meanwhile, the person that they were talking about was busy reading contracts that her husband had actually declined. She gritted her teeth as she eyed another contract that Tony Zhang asked his secretary to return. "Chen Luan..." she uttered. "I want you to check Tony’s location in the past few weeks. I want detailed reports of where he was, where he slept, the name and age of the woman that he slept with, and the amount of money that he spent on them. Everything." She narrowed her eyes at their wedding photo on her table.
The only reason why a man would decline something that would give him profit is if he was too busy doing something else. He was too distracted to even read a contract. This only means one thing and one thing alone.
Women.
