Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 405 To Protect Her

'Guiying' stumbled back harshly with a loud and crisp slap hitting her face. Her head buzzed with a ringing noise, and her cheek felt numb but stinging with pain at the same time as if somebody had poured acid upon it.

'She' unblinkingly stared ahead at the empty air, going completely quiet. The air between the siblings turned equally silent.

Cai Lingyun bobbed his head sideways with a violent disagreement. "Why don't you understand!? The hell you are saying that it's not possible, it's not possible! Do you know how irritating that is? I want you to say that, 'Yes, Bro. I will help you.' But you are talking shit!"

He sighed hard, clutching his head with pain as he had drank too much alcohol. "So what if I tried to harm Liu Jun? He…He was fucking t-touching Ai! Do you know that? I heard them…in their room…they were having sex! That's disgusting!"

His fist balled into a dangerous fist and he punched the table in front of the couch. A sharp, ominous noise echoed that would make anybody's hair crawl.

"He was touching Ai!!! Do you think I should tolerate that!? He deserved to die! So you…don't say that it's impossible! You are my sister, Guiying! Helping your brother is your responsibility! Don't fucking give me that nonsense answer!" He exclaimed.

'Guiying' ever so slowly stood on her feet, holding her cheek in her palm. 'She' looked at Cai Lingyun, her gaze swirling with a deadly emotion.

Cai Lingyun pointed his finger at her. "So-so you will help me, okay?"

'Guiying' took two slow steps but carried a weight in them that was hard to ignore. "Cai Lingyun," 'her' voice was equally difficult to ignore.

He widened his eyes.

"Who the hell do you think you are to slap me?"

"You…this is how you will talk to your elder brother!?" His fuse short-circuited further, and he raised his hand to slap her again.

But this time, 'Guiying' caught it in her hand and instead, slapped him tightly on his cheek. Her palm turned redder and trembled with a slight pain, but it was nothing compared to the satisfaction she got by watching him fall.

Cai Lingyun was beyond bewildered. "You slapped me…"

'Guiying' kicked his knee with her foot, making him stumble. "You piece of trash. You think you can treat me that way? I am not your slave that you can beat me at your convenience."

'She' bent down and looked straight into his eyes. "You still didn't learn your lesson, did you? From all those years back you used to abuse me whenever you got angry? It was a hard thing for the idiot inside me to deal with that shit. Did you forget how I almost killed you with a piece of glass on your neck that night? Ah...I really should have killed you that day. Everytime…every single time taking your anger out on Guiying as if she was a punching bag…I needed to be there for her because then who would protect her? But it seems that I might have been getting lax that you thought of going back to your old ways."

Cai Lingyun shuddered. He remembered that day very well when the quiet Guiying who always had her head held down suddenly broke the mirror, grabbed a glass shard and threatened to end his life.

That scene was etched into his mind crystal clear. His sister who was always so docile suddenly bared her fangs. She looked differently. She acted differently.

Everything was menacing about her, and he couldn't process that change which occurred within her.

Cai Lingyun was completely drunk and now was suffering back to back setbacks that he forgot about this existence inside Guiying. But now those memories got refreshed in his mind.

'She' smiled. "Oh~ Just look at your face. It seems that you remember now. That's great. I thought I lost my touch."

Cai Lingyun stared at her with anger bubbling inside him, not only because of the slap but also thinking about Jun and Ai.

"I want Ai at all costs. I want Ai at all costs…"

'She' gazed back at him and laughed mockingly. "Impossible. Not just because of Liu Jun."

"You…"

"Did you seriously believe me when I said that I will help you in getting Zhou Ai?" 'She' chuckled. "Ahahahaha. That's some nice imagination you got there. You think I am an idiot?"

Within a fraction of a moment, 'her' gaze turned icy. "You know what, Cai Lingyun? I know I have my issues with Zhou Ai. I don't like her at all, and I feel stupid that Guiying is friends with her. But…"

'She' narrowed her eyes and pressed the spot on his knee which she just hit, making Cai Lingyun yelp in pain. "There is no woman in this world who deserves to live with an abusive man and in an abusive relationship no matter how much I hate her," she spoke in a deathly quiet voice.

"I do want to give her pain. I want to see her suffer because of all the things she snatched away from Guiying. But I don't want revenge by a man beating her up in a fit of anger as and when he pleases."

"Pre-preposterous! I would never beat Ai! I love her!" He screamed.

'Guiying' laughed. "Well, you are supposed to love your little sister too but how much of that am I seeing happening? If you could abuse your sister with whom you share your blood, then forget about Zhou Ai. A day would come when you start abusing her too if things didn't go your way. It starts at home. You abuse your sister today. You abuse your wife tomorrow. That is something I won't allow to happen with Zhou Ai or with any woman. Now get out before I kick your balls."

'She' sneered and stood up. As 'she' turned, Cai Lingyun suddenly grabbed a fist of her hair. "You cannot do this to me! You-you have to help me!!"

"Ahhh!" 'she' yelped in pain and tears filled her eyes by how harshly he was pulling her hair. At that angle, she couldn't do much to defend herself either.

Damn!
