BXBX NOVEL Chapter 624 A Game Worth Playing.
The Villain’s Wife 624 A Game Worth Playing.
Seeing her husband’s wizened face morph into an ugly scowl, Chen Shi giggled. What is more beautiful than seeing pigs suffer because of her?
"You bitch!" Tony Zhang hissed. "You think you can get away with this?" He snorted before tearing the divorce papers in front of her. "You have underestimated me!" He added before walking inside the mansion. "You can pack your things. My lawyers will see you tomorrow."
Chen Shi squinted her eyes at Tony Zhang’s disappearing back. What could have gone wrong? She stared at the torn divorce papers on the floor as she wondered. Tony Zhang seemed so brave that she could not stop herself from suspecting that something was definitely wrong. Chen Shi gritted her teeth at this. She opened her phone and dialed Chen Luan’s number.
"It’s me." She uttered. "Release the news." She then ended the call without waiting for him to say something. Since Tony Zhang wanted to play this way, then she would give the man a game worth playing.

The tangy smell of orange zest and meat made Lily’s stomach grumble as she opened her eyes. She frowned and shut her eyes as she pulled the blankets over her head.
"It’s already ten in the morning. You need to drink your vitamins and have breakfast." Zhou Jingren’s voice called out. She felt him sit next to her, pull the blankets away from her head. "Come on." He nudged her arm. "Breakfast."
"I’m tired." She grumbled.
"And hungry. I can hear your stomach from here."
Lily pouted. She opened her eyes and inhaled the delicious scent of her beef and broccoli. "That’s some breakfast."
"You need energy." He gave her a boyish grin before leaning down to kiss her. "Are you feeling sore somewhere?" he asked.
In response, Lily shook her head. She smiled at the concern in his voice before she sat on the bed. "I feel like I can still— "
"Nope. Eat breakfast first." He rose from the bed and waited for her to get herself out of the blankets. "Its Sunday. Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"
"No. I want to stay in bed all day." She stood and walked towards the table where the food was located. With a wide grin, she eyed the variety of dishes on the table.
"I made orange beef and broccoli. I used Australian beef. The other dishes were made by Chef Yang."
"Looks appetizing."
"Hmmm... here are the vitamins that you need to drink after breakfast." He added as he sat on the vacant seat.
"What time did you wake up?"
"Two hours ago."
"So... you didn’t sleep?"
"I had about four hours of sleep." He responded as he started adding beef to Lily’s bowl. "Do you want to go shopping? Or eat somewhere?" He asked.
"No... I want to sleep. Maybe we can watch some movies?" Lily said as she started eating.
"A movie would be good." He nodded. "When I woke up, the Internet was buzzing with scandalous news. It’s about Chen Shi."
"You mean her husband?" She raised an eyebrow. "She finally decided to divorce him?"
"And I think the man didn’t agree. This might be why she released those scandalous news to gain sympathy from everyone."
"Wicked plan." She beamed. "How about that Adalind? Did you hear anything from her?"
"No." He answered. "Yang Mi is waiting for you downstairs, so she might have some answers about it. Also... Madam He sent two boxes of imported perfumes as well as various chocolates from Italy."
"Then Adalind must be suffering right now." She let out a low chuckle. Not long after, the couple finished eating. Lily got herself dressed, and went downstairs to see Yang Mi before watching movies with her husband.
Her petty heart just couldn’t miss knowing what happened to that woman. Moreover, information is always crucial for Lily, ah.
"Really? And... Madam He asked the doctor to make her unable to wear heels again?" Lily laughed. Wasn’t that more cruel than crippling her? Madam He’s plan will make Adalind believe that she could still wear heels. That she could still grace the modeling industry with her long beautiful legs after a few months.
What would happen once she discovers that she could not wear heels again? After all the therapy and hope. The blood, sweat and struggle. At the end of the day, Adalind would learn that she would never be able to walk down the runway again.
It seems that she chose the right knife to use against that Adalind. Lily let out another giggle. "But... her legs should be insured no? I mean... models like her should have their... assets insured."
"Yes... but the insurance only covers accidents on the runway and while modeling. This one is not." Yang Mi answered. "From the news that Go Jichen gathered, her mother and stepmother will come to visit her with their lawyers for a house. I’m afraid that they will— "
"Yeah. Adalind might tell them about my grandmother��s house." Lily nodded. "But who cares?" She laughed. The fact that Adalind will suffer soon was making Lily smile with glee. "They will not get the house. My guess is... they will directly go to Zhou Jingren, thinking that their influence might be enough to convince him." A devious smile appeared on her lips.
Yang Mi nodded.
"Alright. Let’s watch it from a distance for now. Madam He will deal with Adalind sooner or later. That woman is devious and scheming. She is just the perfect... friend."
"President... what about Madam He? As we can see... that woman is pretty scheming. I did my research about her family and from what I could gather... her father and mother are influential in China. It was rumored that they married her off to Mr. He, who is more than eight years older than her because of... a business deal. If we don’t deal with Madam He... I’m afraid that— ."
"Oh... Yang Mi... please. I don’t need to deal with Madam He." Lily smiled. "People like her are the ones that ruin their own lives. Just watch... she will ruin her life on her own. She does not need my help for that."
