The Villain’s Wife Chapter 183 - Save Your Tears

Tang Lingyun’s voice threatening Lily at her office instantly echoed in the whole venue. This immediately made Tang Lingyun’s face turn pale, as her gaze met Qin Mo. How could Lily have recordings of those conversations? Then she remembered how Lily used all methods to make her mad. Was that because she was recording everything?

Tang Lingyun looked at everyone who was staring at her with a mixture of disbelief, disgust and shock. She had always been known as someone kind and gentle. So hearing her shrill voice threatening Lily was an absolute surprise to everyone.

"That is not me," she managed to utter, "I would never do that! That is not me!"

"What are you shouting about? I never said it was you." Lily smirked while watching the disbelief in Qin Liwei’s eyes.

"You! You are framing me! How could you do this to me? I did not raise you to become like this! I understand that you have forgotten about the Qin Family after you discovered your roots. But... this... Qin Jinghua, what did I ever do to you?" Tang Lingyun shook her son’s arm as she stood in front of Lily. Though this was completely unexpected to her, she would never let this woman win. Not tonight! Since Lily wanted a show, she would gladly give this to her. "What are you laughing about? Have you gone crazy?"

"You are too funny, Mother. You indeed did not raise me like this." Lily chuckled, amusement apparent in her eyes. "You have raised me well - too well."

"Ah... I never knew that you knew how to joke! It made me forget to tell you that there was a CCTV camera in my office the day that you visited." And right after Lily said that, the lights of the whole venue dimmed and flashes of images of Tang Lingyun threatening Lily were displayed on the stage. It was followed by the audio that Lily recorded.

Then the video stopped. The lights once again illuminated the place, revealing a pale Tang Lingyun that was shaking with anger. Tang Lingyun’s fist was clenched, her eyes venomous as she stared at Lily.

A mocking grin slowly bloomed on Lily’s face as she took a step towards Tang Lingyun. "Over and over you try to offend me. Shouting this and that. Hoping that it will embarrass me... but you fail to think that scandals like this won’t affect me. I am not an actress and I don’t have a public image to maintain. Everyone in Europe knew how vicious I am. And soon, everyone in Hong Kong will know this side of me too." Then she eyed Qin Mo who just stood near them frozen, his face blank as she watched Lily confront his wife.

"Your wife never allowed me to learn English nor any musical instruments. Me and my mother slept in an old maid’s quarter. Your wife bullied my mother in front of her so-called friends, insulted her over and over again. She drugged my mother and manipulated everyone. She made me stop going to school in the pretense that I was sick and that my body cannot handle it."

"I... I did not know." Qin Mo answered. He really was unaware that this happened. Though he found it hard to believe Lily’s words, he also knew how everyone in this venue already have a favorable impression of Lily. If he says something wrong, these people would definitely judge him and it will affect his business ventures in the future.

"I know that you didn’t know this." Lily said while slowly turning her gaze to Tang Lingyun. "I also know that you did not bother to ask nor listen to my words."

"Now... all that is left for you is to watch. Watch as I reap the interest of what you owe me." Lily added. She then stared at Tang Lingyun intently who was now so red from anger yet, she was still able to maintain the composed look on her face. Such an excellent actress, Lily thought.

With these in mind, Lily tightened her grip on the champagne glass and slowly poured all its contents to the woman in front of her. This earned a series of surprise gasps from everyone. "That is for drugging me seven years ago." She said.

The moment the champagne was poured all over her, Tang Lingyun immediately took a step backward. Her gaze towards Lily became unsteady before everything registered in her mind. She then let out a gasp and immediately tried to wipe away the champagne on her face.

"You look so fierce." Lily said, she took another step towards Tang Lingyun. "Are you going to slap me? Are you going to raise your voice on me?"

"Tsk...tsk... Lingyun that would be out of your gentle character." Lily added, making Tang Lingyun look at the people who were watching them. Everyone was watching her with mixed emotions on their eyes. Some pity Tang Lingyun but some people were also quick to believe Lily’s words. After all, what will she get if she lie? If Lily wanted revenge, she could easily take down Qin Industries. She had been in the country for weeks, and yet she never did anything to them.

It was Tang Lingyun who provoked her first. She even visited her office just to threaten her with those photos! She then released the photos in an attempt to embarrass Lily at her own party! Good thing Lily was smart enough to turn the situation around. Now, Tang Lingyun acted like she was the victim while crying in front of everyone. How could they sympathize with a woman was fake as that?

"Qin Mo just saved your acting career with the amount of press that he invited for your press conference. Would you really gamble the chance that your husband had given you just to slap me?" Lily smiled gently. Seeing Tang Lingyun calm down from her words, she immediately leaned a little closer towards her and whispered.

"I forgot to thank you. The man that I slept with seven years ago is now my husband. However, he hated that picture as none of them showed his face. I suggest you hire another photographer to do this kind of things next time." Then Lily used her hand to wipe a tear on Tang Lingyun’s cheek. "Save your tears. You’ll need it later."
