Little Miss Witch: Revenge of the Tainted Angel

Chapter 51 - Not Everyone Is Like You (1)

Shen Zichen leaned against the door frame as if he was the master of the house, forbidding Mu Jianyu to even take a step inside to see Li Xiuying, who was peacefully sleeping inside her room. 

Right now, he didn't hide his contempt against the man who caused her pain and sadness. He wouldn't let Mu Jianyu have another chance to hurt her ever again even if it means he had to play dirty. 

Mu Jianyu scoffed at him and shook his head. He stood arrogantly in front of Shen Zichen. 

"And what makes you think that you have the right to stop me from seeing my wife? Shen Zichen, even if we divorce, you wouldn't be able to win her heart. You didn't get her when you had the chance." 

Shen Zichen lowered dangerously. It was something he couldn't deny but he wouldn't let Mu Jianyu gain an upper hand against him. His lips curled up in a sneer. 

"And you keep calling her your wife. Are you even worthy to be called her husband? Li Xiuying doesn't deserve a scum like you. If I were you, I'll pay attention to my actions and backtrack where I have gone wrong before it's too late. But since you are stupid enough to cast Ying out of your life, do us a favor. You better not show your ugly face in front of her anymore." 

He wasn't sure what this man wanted from Li Xiuying but wasn't it enough that Mu Jianyu not only successfully broke her as a person but had impregnated another woman behind her back? 

The broken woman that she was, Shen Zichen would never forget her miserable form as she cried her out in front of her parents' tomb. He knew that even with his eyes closed, he would remember her clearly. 

Li Xiuying was kind enough to willingly forgive his affair but Mu Jianyu continued with his lie after lie. She'd thought it was probably a moment of fleeting passion, but she couldn't forgive a lie, that was until she accidentally found out about Lin Meirong's pregnancy while visiting the film set. 

"The moment you turned your back to her, the moment you asked for a divorce, didn't you think that you've forfeited all the rights you have as her husband?" 

Not giving Mu Jianyu a chance to argue, Shen Zichen continued. 

"Ying told me to tell you not to call her unless it's important, especially...." he deliberately paused to give emphasis to his next words, "... in her private time. You've already given your resignation, right? Ying would only allow distractions when it's related to work." 

The two bodyguards of Li Xiuying could only listen to Shen Zichen as they remained unnoticed by Mu Jianyu. At first, they were both shocked to see Young Master Shen being bold to confront their Miss's husband. However, as they listened intently to the conversation between the two men, they both thought it was better for their Miss not to see and meet Mu Jianyu after this. 

Saying this with a mocking smile, Shen Zichen enjoyed as the other man's face turned ugly. 

Mu Jianyu's face turned dark. Even with Lin Meirong already by his side, he wasn't willing to give up Li Xiuying to Shen Zichen or any other man. 

"Mu Jianyu, I know that you're a prideful person but couldn't you see now that Ying doesn't want to have anything with you. You are in no position to demand something from her when it's you who cut all the ties with her."

However, Mu Jianyu wasn't planning to give up just yet. He needed to see his wife but for whatever reason, Mu Jianyu wasn't sure himself.

"I want to see Ying. I'll only believe you if she said it herself! Shen Zichen, know your place. I don't care if you're Ying's childhood friend or the young master of the Shen family. Don't poke your nose into someone else's marriage!" 

"Marriage that you, yourself have chosen to ruin and abandon." Shen Zichen corrected him much to Mu Jianyu's displeasure. He wouldn't let this cheating husband forget his sins towards Ying. 

Mu Jianyu glared at him. This enmity between them would never go away. He hated Shen Zichen with a huge passion. His presence buzzed around him like a fly that Mu Jianyu could not swat. 

He had designer clothes, born from a prominent family. He had everything Mu Jianyu never had. And there was him, a commoner who was trying to make a name in the world of socialites. 

Mu Jianyu would never understand that envy is the art of counting another man's blessings instead of your own. He wasn't content with what he had and this would be the reason he would lose everything. 

"You've got what you wanted from Ying. She agreed to divorce you to give back your freedom. What else do you want? You and I both know that Ying isn't a selfish person. Since you asked for it, you better stay away from her from now on." 

Mu Jianyu's heart sank at the thought that Li Xiuying didn't want him anymore. He was insecure about Shen Zichen. His wife was dangerously close to this man who was in love with her. He had enjoyed it when he was the only one in her eyes and when he got her sole attention but he felt uneasy when it came to Shen Zichen. He always felt that there was a wall between them that he could never be able to tear down. 

Mu Jianyu stared at Shen Zichen incredulously, then gave a hollow smile. 

"I wonder if young Master Shen has been waiting for this to seduce my wife on his bed."

Before he could continue his words, a fist came out of nowhere and struck him hard on his face.
