Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

A day passed by and 'Guiying', who was unaware that the misunderstanding between Jun and Ai had gotten settled, was celebrating the previous evening of her victory. 'She' was sure that a few more pushes in the right direction would trigger a massive fallout between them one day.

'She' smiled, thinking how she couldn't wait for that day to come. Jun's destruction would soon be in front of her. That could go on for a while.

But today, the real Guiying inside her had a mission to accomplish. It was high time that she would start working on her draft. Since the Summit till now, she hadn't pursued any idea because she was in a slump. But to return to her glory and make an impact that she always had, she had to think of a story.

'Guiying' pressed her lips in distaste, thinking of Zixin.

"Who knew he would turn out to be Liu Jun's cousin," 'she' clicked her tongue. "It's better for you if you don't have anything to do with him. Liu Jun or anybody related to him - just stay far away from all of them. Heh. These rich people think they can play with somebody's feelings like it's a game," 'she' sneered. "But now, it's my turn. That Chen Zixin…won't be any good either."

The doorbell rang, and 'Guiying' felt too lazy to attend it. But it kept ringing incessantly, forcing her to get up.

Fuck who is it!?

Upon opening, 'her' morning mood took a downward spiral, seeing Cai Lingyun wobbling in front of her apartment's door. His clothes were messy and his mouth was stinking with alcohol's smell.

'Guiying' gritted her teeth and felt disgusted. "What are you doing here and in this state? You are being pathetic!"

Cai Lingyun raised his head with dizziness and saw his sister as if there were five or six of them standing before him.

"S-so many of you…"

It was hardly two minutes, but 'she' was already losing her patience. "What are you doing here and gosh, why are you so drunk!? Just look at yourself!"

"Guiying…" Cai Lingyun stumbled inside with a helpless and fearful expression. "Help me…"

'She' grimaced. "First name yourself a little human before asking for help! What is wrong with you?"

Cai Lingyun shook her shoulder and looked increasingly panicked and worried. "Y-you didn't call me, Guiying…E-Ever since we returned from Shanghai, you haven't talked to me at all…"

'Guiying' raised her brow.

His face then became messy with sweat and tears. "Why…Why Guiying? Why aren't you talking to me? Do you know h-how life has been for me like…? When I returned to Beijing, m-my job was already gone…My job was gone Guiying!"

He suddenly raised his voice which shot through her eardrums.

Damn!

"And I-I tried to find another job, but…" he shook her shoulders, "I am not getting any! Guiying, I-I am trying so hard…No-nobody is taking me in," his face looked pale and white, "What am I gonna do…? A-and you know? M-My savings are getting over. I barely get anything to eat and now my apartment's rent…The due date is coming, but I-I have nothing to pay, Guiying…" he cried. "That landlady is ready to throw me out by next week…What will I do then? You have to help me!!"

'She' glared at him. "Leave my apartment first! Come here when you are dressed properly and in your fucking senses!"

"Huh…?"

Cai Lingyun's head buzzed with her sharp and dominating voice. "What…y-you are throwing me out too? But you promised you will be there for me…Guiying…"

He took another wobbly step. "I haven't forgotten. You told me…that you will help me in getting Ai."

'Guiying' inwardly snorted.

As if that was ever possible. Even if Liu Jun wasn't there in his life, do you think you could have won against Gu Yating?

"I-I am still waiting, Guiying. Where is Ai? We haven't m-met since Shanghai? It's been so long…" he slowly smiled, "What should I do next to win her? It's all…"

He faltered and almost collapsed on the floor had he not caught the couch. "Liu Jun's fault…" he whispered to himself, "He-he is the one blocking everything for me. My job, money, apartment and Ai…He-he is taking everything from me. It's all his doing!"

Once again, he spoke a little louder than necessary.

'Guiying' pushed him away. "Enough! If you keep going on like this, I will be soon thrown out of this apartment because of you! Behave yourself!"

Cai Lingyun laughed. "Behave myself?"

"Fucking yes! Do you think you are any innocent!? Exposing the elevator tape was still fine. That was my plan, and that was a safe plan. But what the hell were you thinking when you pushed that paint can on Liu Jun's head!? Do you know his brother got hurt? You should be fucking feeling grateful! You would have been in jail by now. I don't know what happened that made their attention distract from punishing you. They suddenly left Shanghai in a hurry. But thank your stars that it's just your job and apartment. You could have been in jail right now! His brother could have died!"

Cai Lingyun could barely make any sense of his surroundings now. "T-then it would be good if he died. Liu Jun…Liu Jun…The nerve of him suddenly coming i-in her life…and dating her…?" He tilted his head. "I-I have known Ai far longer than him. BUT HE SNATCHED HER AWAY FROM ME!"

His voice roared in her apartment, making 'Guiying' widen her eyes.

"You…This is an apartment complex! For hell's sake, talk slowly!"

Cai Lingyun didn't bother. "Guiying…tell me. What should I do? Y-you will help me getting Ai…that's what you said…I know…" he laughed, "Once I have Ai, everything will return to normal in my life…She is missing from my life, that's why, it's such a mess. You have to help me. Liu Jun, we need to discard him. He is the thorn in my life…"

'Guiying' took a deep breath to calm her emotions. "Okay. Listen to me. Right now, things are a little heated because of the genius 'murder' you had planned," 'she' grimaced. "So lay low-"

"No, no. Tell me what I should do now. I need to get things back on the track," he nodded.

'She' was losing her patience. "Like I said, it's not possible now-"

*SLAP!*
