Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 188 Twist The Implication

Chapter 188 Twist The Implication

Jun stared at him unblinkingly. "What?"

Jin's black eyes carried a hint of menace in it, but his smile was as charming as a devil. He walked up to his elder brother and faced him. "I think you know what exactly I am talking about, Bro. Did you break up with Shui because you think you are not compatible with her or because you found someone else?"

Liu Hai didn't understand and asked, "What are you even talking about? Found someone else?"

Jin tilted his head. "Indeed. You know, Bro Jun? You were not the only one in the Author's Summit last night. Bro Nian and I were also there."

Jun's eyes slowly widened. He immediately put two and two together and guessed what might have happened. But what he didn't understand was why Jin would be there. He knew Nian was present because he was the one who beat up the judges and stood by Xing Bi.

But Jin?

"I saw an interesting thing last night. Actually, many interesting things happened. Somebody confessed to you last night, and you even responded to that confession with such a passionate kiss." _froze.

That brought upon a sharp silence for several moments.

Nana exclaimed. "Jin! Are you even in your senses!?"

"I am very much in my senses, Mom. In fact…it brought me completely to my senses," his voice at the end sounded darker and vicious.

But the one around whom the aura was even more deadly was none other than Zhiyuan. "What the hell is going on!? First, Jun tells us that they broke up because he feels Jun and Shui are not compatible, and now you say it's because of a woman?"

Jun stared at Jin and warned him. "Jin. I don't know how much you saw, but don't give things any different meaning which doesn't even exist."

"What meaning does not exist, Bro Jun? What other meaning should be taken when I come to know that you allowed Zhou Ai to live with you in your condo for a whole month?"

"Huh?" The others could only question with utter confusion.

"Zhou Ai?" Liu Hai's ears immediately perked upon hearing her name.

Jin said, "Yes, Zhou Ai. The same woman you introduced to me as my future wife."

Hearing Jin associate Ai as his future wife made green veins pop on the back of his hand which trembled silently.

"But we didn't know that Grandpa didn't have to choose her as my wife because apparently, Bro Jun had already done so for himself." _?

Jin looked back and shot a stare at Nian. "Bro Nian also heard it, right? From Zhou Ai's editor, Xing Bi. She admitted that Zhou Ai lived with Bro Jun in his house for a whole month."

Nian clearly remembered it. It had just happened last night and knowing that Jun could do something like this for another woman besides Shui had shocked him deeply.

Jian snapped his head towards his twin brother and narrowed his eyes. "Nian?"

Nian said nothing.

Nana was exasperated with all the confusion surrounding Jun and Ai and asked, "Will somebody tell me clearly what is going on? I only know that Jun and Zhou Ai are acquaintances because they meet in the library frequently."

"It's not frequent, Mom. It's everyday. She came to the banquet to give his gift to you and Dad. But it's not because she found it accidentally in the library as she had claimed. She lied. She got his gift because she lived with him. Which makes me wonder just how and when you two got so close that you offered her your house to live in?"

Jun opened his mouth but for some reason, he couldn't find the right words. He only heard a loud sound of something shattering in his chest.

Zhiyuan sharply asked Shui, "Did you know about this, Shui?"

Shui herself felt at a loss. This was something which she was unaware of as well.

When did Jun and Zhou Ai…?

"Shui! I am asking if you knew about Jun and Zhou Ai?"

"Dad, I didn't know about them," she faced him, "but I don't think the way in which Jin is implying their relationship is true…Jin. You must be misunderstanding-"

But Jin completely ignored her to her disbelief.

Xinyi pulled his arm. "Zhiyuan, calm down."

"'Calm down? You are telling me to calm down?" He laughed, his teeth gritting in anger and disbelief. "This brat who always claimed Shui as his now suddenly tells me that he broke up with her. He gives a reason that they are not compatible but on the other side, I get to hear that there is another woman involved. Xinyi, if it's what I am thinking-"

"What is it, Zhiyuan?" Xinyi glared at him. "We have seen Jun grow up in front of our eyes. We know him better than anybody!"

Jun watched his brother in a daze and asked, "Jin…You cannot be implying that I…" he chuckled, his heart gripped with a tight pain, "That I cheated on Shui, right?"

Jin narrowed his eyes. "No, Bro. How can I imply that? You didn't cheat on Shui. Since Zhou Ai lived with you after you broke up with Shui, it won't be cheating. You were single, after all. What I am saying is that your reason for breaking up with Shui was not as innocent as you claim it to be. You didn't want to cheat on Shui which is why you gave the reason that you two are not meant for each other. But it's actually Zhou Ai, right?"

Grandma Liu trembled. "This cannot be true, right? Jun, did you really find someone else? Impossible…This is impossible! After all this time, you are saying that you won't be with Shui but somebody else?"

"Grandma-"

"No, tell me, Jun. First you tell me. Is what Jin saying is true? Is there another woman in your life?" She glared at him.

Jun clenched his jaw. "Yes. There is. I came here to not only announce that Shui and I broke up but also to declare that I am dating Zhou Ai. But it's not like what you are thinking or how Jin is implying! Ai is not 'another' woman as if she is some homewrecker. She is my girlfriend. I chose her because I love her!"
