The Villain’s Wife 694 Scars
Since the lawyers and Miss Su could not really agree on what to say, they decided to leave the security company without achieving their goal. Furious, Su Mingyu continued to rant on the way to the place that she was staying. She imdiately fired the two and called them useless over and over again.
"The lawyers that you sent are useless!" She sneered the mont she entered the study. "You said they can assure the things that I wanted! You said the Zhou Capital would easily give what I want!"
"Calm down." Su Ru, her adopted father, stared at his daughter. "What happened? Tell ."
"Well... His wife ca and claid that she is the rightful owner of the company! She said... I should be talking to her instead of her husband! How shaless!" The reminder of Lily’s smiling face imdiately turned her face ugly. This action instantly made the scar on her lower chin more apparent. Despite trying her best to hide it with make up, there is no escaping from the old man’s eyes.
"What would you expect?" the old man said. "Zhou Jingren uses people, he takes advantage of everyone that he can use then dumps them when they are no longer useful. I told you not to agree to this eting and yet, you just couldn’t stop yourself, could you?"
"I know!" she hissed, irritation flashing in her eyes. "I should have listened. I— I just can’t stop myself! He killed everyone in our family, just because he thought we killed his adoptive father! Wouldn’t it be fair if we make him suffer?"
"Not now, Mingyu. Not now." Her father said. "Going to the tiger’s den was a mistake. Because of this, his people were able to follow you here. We need to leave as soon as possible." He sighed.
"Father... he won’t touch . It.. It just makes no sense." If she disappears, the only suspect could be Zhou Jingren.
"You are still as stupid as ever." Su Ru shook his head. "I already asked soone to prepare your things. I will stay here while you will stay sowhere safe."
"Why?"
"Because I said so little lass."
"No. I an why would you want to hide from him? If I die— "
"Fool!" the old man snorted. "If you die... you die. The dia will exaggerate the news for a week or two then another bigger news will replace the news of your death. It’s not like you are relevant. Compared to Zhou Jingren and his company, we are nothing but ants."
"But... what about you?" she asked. "Why would you want to stay here?"
"Diversion. I cannot leave this place now. This is the price that you will have to pay for being careless. This is the price that I need to pay for your immature actions."
"Father I— "
"Leave now. Call once you are there."
"But— "
"No buts and you must rember. Revenge... is a dish always best served cold."
Seeing the certainty in her father’s eyes, Su Mingyu nodded. A flashed of understanding glinted in her almond eyes. Standing from her seat, a sigh escaped Su Mingyu’s lips. "I’m sorry." She said avoiding her father’s gaze.
"Don’t apologize to . Apologize to your late mother’s mories, to our ancestors’ mories." He answered. "I hope this will serve as a lesson to you. Do not let your anger drag you down. Think with your mind, not with your heart. Mingyu... you are still young. You can achieve a lot of things, as long as you make plans and execute them properly."
Su Mingyu bit her lower lip as she nodded. "I will leave now." She turned her back against her father and left the room without waiting for him to respond. Years ago, when Su Mingyu lost everything, she had vowed not to never let her emotions cloud her judgent again. However, this was sothing that she could not just control.
Slowly, her hand made its way into the scar on her neck. It was the sa 3rd degree burn scar that her father had on his back from saving her. She gritted her teeth. The once revered and worshiped Inagawa family was now forced to change their na, their appearance, their actions, their accent just for revenge.
They were forced to hide in the shadows, bide their ti as they waited for their revenge against the man who ordered his people to burn them alive. She had been hiding with her father for seven years. SEVEN YEARS of nightmares, of painful mories!
"Mistress... we should go now." She heard a respectful voice behind her. In response, Su Mingyu nodded silently.
She had been planning... scheming and waiting for the day she could see Zhou Jingren. Hoping that her face and cold attitude would be able to seduce him. However, in the end, her emotions failed her. She still exploded in anger, losing her composure and her chance to get close to him— close enough to be able to strangle him to his death.
Slowly, her hands balled into a tight fists, her knuckles turned white. She needed another way to get close to him. However, since her plan to seduce him was already out of the picture, she needed another way to do it.
Lily’s smiling face imdiately sward inside her head. Lily seed like a capable woman. She imdiately wondered why Lily would allow Zhou Jingren to use her. Was it possible that she was not aware of his past? Was it possible that she was not aware that she married a lunatic, a killing machine who would not even spare children?
mories... Hundreds of mories of her family screaming from the fire.
Su Mingyu instantly closed her eyes, hiding the pain in her eyes. They did not deserve it! They did not deserve to die!
"Mistress. The master instructed us to take you to an underground hiding spot near Shanghai." The man said. Once again she nodded. At least now... they had soone helping them behind the scenes. She thought before she let out another sigh.
