Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu
Chapter 620 The Golden Clock Shows The Past (4)
But making Yating break up with Ai was difficult because he loved her as much as she loved him. To Zhan Yahui, it was imperative to throw Ai out of Dream High once and for all and stall her writing career forever.
For all these years, she secretly manipulated Yating's father Gu Rong, who had his own connections at Dream High. Since he didn't like Ai, he didn't like his son's closeness with her either and he tried every possible way to set roadblocks in her way so that Ai would quit Dream High herself. But she remained stubborn and so did Yating in supporting her.
All this time as Zhan Yahui watched herself plotting and concocting all these situations, she couldn't understand the hell out of it.
"What is going on…? This is me but I never did those things."
Sure, it was in my plans to use Gu Rong against Ai but it became unnecessary when Ai quit Dream High and joined Sky.
Then what is happening here? Why is Ai still at Dream High anyway?
As if already reading her question, the mysterious voice answered, "This is a life that you have lived before and where everything worked the way you wanted to. Or at least for the large part of it until you died."
"What the fuck are you talking about? I lived this life before? Then what am I living now?" Zhan Yahui grimaced.
"You are living the same life but with your actions yielding different results. You will soon understand. Keep watching."
The past life's memories continued and she saw that to break off Ai's relationship with Yating, she used the last card that would work against Yating and that was his father.
She slowly widened her eyes seeing all the things she did behind the scenes that eventually led Gu Rong to collapse from a heart attack.
"Dad…"
Yating stayed beside him, trembling and watching his father die before him.
"Yating…Please…" tears slipped from his eyes as he begged him, "for my sake…please leave that girl."
Yating stiffened.
"I don't want to…see you with her. Sh-she is not good enough for you…" he breathed laboriously.
He gritted his teeth in fury. "Dad, is this…is this your way of emotionally blackmailing me into leaving Ai? I cannot believe that you could do this!"
Gu Rong trembled and tiredly shook his head. "I…am not…Please…"
"No! Was this all your act to manipulate me?" His eyes ached and stung with tears. "Even though we had our differences, I still loved and respected you but instead you are stooping so far just because you hate Ai!"
When the past life's Zhan Yahui saw that Yating was adamant about not breaking up with Ai, she was forced to play the last card that finally budged the unmoving boulder of his refusal to part ways with Ai.
It was then that Yating was left truly defeated and obliged to listen to his father. The plan succeeded. Yating broke up with Ai and she left Beijing forever.
At the same time, she also manipulated Guiying to learn the truth of Jun's MrPerfect's identity on Shui's twenty-fifth birthday that made her revolt against him forever. Before that with Zixin's accident, he had already forgotten about Guiying and CherryBlossom and they never crossed paths again until Shui's twenty-fifth birthday when Guiying, who thought Jun to be MrPerfect confessed his love to Shui instead.
The heartbroken Jun was thrown out of the family, refusing to accept Shui's rejection of his love. Zhan Yahui made full use of this situation to completely cut him off from the Liu family so that there would be no scope left for him to ever get back in his family. It was at that time that Hou Lin secretly exposed the fact that Jun was Sky's CEO, thereby starting Sky Publishing's downfall.
"Send your brother to his condo where he is living so that he could keep an eye on him," Zhan Yahui said to 'Guiying' as they planned to destroy Jun. And so Cai Lingyun entered as a sort of a butler to work under him.
The most important day came when Grandma Liu fell extremely sick and was on her deathbed where she wished to see Jun one last time. But with Cai Lingyun's interference, the news never reached Jun and she passed away without seeing her grandson's face one last time.
Zhan Yahui, watching all these actions of the past, slightly parted her lips, stunned. If this was the same Yahui who was illusioned in her father's love, she would have laughed in victory now.
"Ah it feels nice…Liu Jun must be feeling the same like I did in the past. I lost my Mom without getting to see her one last time," her eyelashes flickered. "She left me just like that. Not seeing his lovely Grandma before her death would have broken him from inside too, right?" She chuckled. "Excellent."
Zhan Yahui was watching herself and hearing her own words. She still had no clue of these scenes flashing before her and when they happened but she understood the motive behind her actions.
But seeing Grandma Liu's funeral where Jun struggled and cried to see her one last time but who was met with animosity and resentment by his family - a revolting feeling against herself rose in her heart for the first time.
ƥαṇdαs ηθνε|·ƈθm 'You are suffocating her. Stop holding her too hard.'
'Hey wake up.'
'Where are you taking her? Let us go!'
It was little Jun's words that kept circulating in her mind.
Time moved forward in those memories and during those five years when Jun was away from his family, 'Guiying' tried to manipulate Shui into marrying Jin to crush Jun's heart forever. But to 'her' and Zhan Yahui's disappointment, Shui never budged from her decision.
"I love Jin. But I won't marry him, Guiying. I broke Jun's heart. It's my fault that he is away from family. Everybody…is broken in that house, Guiying. I won't marry Jin out of my selfishness. Never."
