The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife Chapter 193 - Beauty Hurts

"This is not the first time that this has happened. You do something bad and then you come running here for us to clean up your mess! What do you think this person’s goal is? Huh? Use your brain, Lina. Think about it. Why send this to me first? This is a warning. If my guess is right, they will post this online or somewhere else to shame you and your husband. They wanted me to know this so I can create a counter plan. And once I do something, they will include the whole Yang Family in this... scheme."

"Brother! How could you say that?" Yang Lina stared in disbelief at her brother. "Why are you being so cowardly? We can still do something about this. I... We can locate whoever it is that sent the video and..."

"I will tell father about this," Yang Sen interrupted her. "Second brother is already on his way here. I know both of them spoil you rotten, but I am different. I am the current patriarch of this family and I will do whatever it is that will be most beneficial to everyone."

"Even if that means leaving me behind?" A single tear flowed down Yang Lina’s cheek, The pain she felt was apparent in her eyes. Suddenly Lily’s words about how Family is nothing but a word seemed to flash through her mind. "I think... I think I know who did this!" she exclaimed and quickly wiped away her tears.

"I think its Lily Qin! I mean Zhuo! Lily Facci-Zhuo. She is someone from the Qin Family who is taking her revenge on us because I refused to let her marry into the Xuan Family seven years ago..."

"You mean the woman whom you and your dumb friends accidentally hit while she was crossing the street?" Yang Sen said. "Was it the girl who lost her mother because the woman jumped in front of the car to protect her daughter?"

"I... I already told you it was an accident! He Xinlan was drunk driving. We were all drunk!"

"The woman’s mother was alive Lina! And you, Yuyan and He Xinlan killed her! You asked the doctor to kill her!"

"She saw us! She recognized me! We had to do something about it Yang Sen. This is something that you should understand. I was protecting our family!"

"You were not protecting our Family! You were protecting yourself!" Yang Sen bellowed. "I work with the law! We are supposed to protect people! I was born to protect people! I grew old protecting people and yet you! You and my god damned wife killed someone because of your irresponsibility!"

"And yet you chose to protect us! You hid the incident from father and used your influence to change the whole story! Don’t paint yourself as an innocent, as a scapegoat!" Yang Lina also raised her voice, her emotions on the rampage. "You think it was easy for me? You think I was happy about it? Sen... it was a mistake. Me and Yuyan as well as He Xinlan regretted everything!"

"A mistake that was covered by another mistake is still a mistake," Yang Sen informed her. "I will talk to father about this. I will tell him the truth. If he says that I need to surrender and let the law take care of it then I will."

"Brother please... It has been years. Please... why now?" Yang Lina asked. This incident happened seven years ago. Seven years! Why would Yang Sen suddenly do this? Why now?

"Yang Jing... is already mature enough to become the family’s patriarch. I have been thinking about this for quite some time now and I believe this is the right time to do it," Yang Sen said, earning another sob from Yang Lina. This is her brother. This is the reason why she is afraid of him. Yang Sen would readily surrender himself and let the whole world know about what they did. He would rather do what is right and shame the family in the process than hide everything and endure his guilt.

If Yang Lina’s guess was right, Yang Sen did what he did seven years ago because his son was still young. He was not experienced enough to handle the family as well as the businesses that the Yang Family have. Now, however...everything is different.

"Originally I wanted you to stay away from the family. I don’t know who your enemy is and I think keeping you at a distance is the best way to keep everyone else safe. However, now that the past has finally caught up with us I intend to tell father about everything. We need to pay for everything that we have done, Lina. You and me, Yuyan and her sister. We need to pay," he uttered, his face calm.

Meanwhile, the one who was responsible for the chaos in the Yang Family was calmly reading a book as her husband massaged her foot.

"If it hurts this much then why don’t you stop wearing six-inch high stilettos? It’s not as if someone would call you out for wearing a shoe with two inch heels," Zhuo Jingren said as he gently kneaded Lily’s ankle.

"Makes us feel more confident, sexy, and beautiful," Lily answered nonchalantly.

"But they are tiring and your feet hurt at night."

"Beauty hurts, President Zhuo," Lily rolled her eyes.

"Heels or not, you are already beautiful," he stated. The gentleness and concern in his voice instantly made Lily smile.

"No worries. Next time I feel tired while walking in my stilettos I’ll ask you to carry me," Lily said.

"Alright,." he agreed, earning another smile from Lily.

"Hey... why don’t you stop working and just follow me around? Then you can carry me when I am tired. I will double your salary as the CEO of your company."

In response, Zhuo Jingren stroked his chin and stopped kneading her foot. He looked at her with a gentle smile on his face. "You’ve made me a very attractive offer there, Mrs. Zhuo. I am seriously considering it right now."

"Of course you should consider..." Lily’s words were interrupted when her phone rang. Zhuo Jingren immediately got up to get it for her.

"Cathy?" Lily said the moment she answered the call. Then a sinister smile slowly bloomed on her face. "Alright. You can release it now."
