His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Hu Lei rode her motorcycle straight to the Zhong home after receiving the message from Ah-Feng. Her eyes glinted with anger at the thought of Song Lili and her evil antics.

Kaito was right. She had become too careless. He had also warned her that Song Lili planned to come to badmouth her to her mother-in-law, but she had not taken him seriously. Who knew that the shameless woman would be so bold?

If she had not obtained the information from the woman earlier in the day, it could have been catastrophic. She had been too confident in her plans and had failed to come up with contingencies in case she failed.

If she had been this casual in the past, she would have died a thousand times.

When she reached the gate of the home, she raised her helmet visor. The security guards looked at the woman and quickly opened the gate for her.

They could not believe that the wife of the young master, who looked so small and harmless in pictures, rode a motorcycle. And so fast, at that. She seemed to disappear in a second.

When Hu Lei reached the house, she casually left her bike in the parking lot and took off her helmet. Out of her old habits, she carried her helmet under her arm. She knew how easy it was for someone to tamper with this item.

"Lei'er, please come in." Chu Ling welcomed her personally and took the helmet from her hands. She had been waiting for her anxiously.

Hu Lei felt a shiver, and goosebumps appeared on her arms. She just could not get used to Chu Ling treating her so well.

"Madam Zhong, I hope you did not wait for too long." She said with a serious expression.

Chu Ling felt uncomfortable at being called Madam Zhong by Hu Lei. However, she knew that it was her fault that there was a great distance between them. She had never tried to understand or accommodate Hu Lei despite everything she and her father had done.

"What Madam Zhong? I know about your secret marriage to Feng'er. You can call me Mom." Chu Ling tried to lighten up the mood as they walked into the house.

Hu Lei froze as she was untying her boots. She did not know how to respond to that. She wanted to get along with Ah-Feng's parents, but she was also not ready to call them so intimately. It felt like there was still a knot in her heart, so she would not feel good calling Chu Ling 'Mom'.

Chu Ling noticed the silence and realised that Hu Lei was not willing. She felt sad. However, she remembered that Hu Lei had tried to be friendly and treat her closely in the past, but she had rejected her without a thought.

She was only reaping what she sowed.

"You can just call me Auntie if you are not used to it yet." She said to disperse the awkwardness.

Hu Lei felt relieved.

"Auntie, what exactly happened with Song Lili?" She asked as she finished taking off her boots.

"Feng'er did not tell you?" Chu Ling asked as she indicated to the pink fuzzy slippers.

Hu Lei wore the slippers which clashed with her black outfit but also gave her a more approachable look.

"I just saw his message to come here. I was handling some business elsewhere." Hu Lei explained.

Chu Ling nodded even though she did not understand. She still did not know how Hu Lei could deal with Song Lili, but she was willing to follow her lead.

She hesitated a little before speaking. "Song Lili came by claiming to have a video of you that could destroy the Zhong Family."

Hu Lei nodded and seemed unaffected, so she continued.

"I told her that she should give up and stop forcing things. Then, she threatened to expose the video unless we gave her fifteen per cent of the Zhong Industries shares." Chu Ling sounded tired.

Seeing the distress on Chu Ling's face, Hu Lei felt a little sorry for her because she had noticed how well she had treated Song Lili, even to her detriment.

"Don't worry. She has no information that can harm the Zhong family." Hu Lei comforted her.

"Really? She seemed confident, and she said that she had a lot of backups." Chu Ling exclaimed.

"I know that you do not trust me, but you can trust Ah-Feng." Hu Lei said. "Let me see her."

Chu Ling wanted to say that it was not that she did not trust Hu Lei, but she knew that mending the relationship would take a lot of time.

Song Lili was being held in one of the guestrooms in the Zhong mansion. As a prison, the place could be considered a five-star resort. There were two guards at the door as a precaution.

"Auntie, you can relax. Nothing will happen." Hu Lei comforted the nervous Chu Ling.

"Then, I will leave you." She paused. "Can you stay for supper today? Hu Fai has missed you, and your grandfather is around."

HU Lei nodded without hesitation. Chu Ling was satisfied and went to find the kitchen staff to prepare a feast for the evening.

"Open the door." Hu Lei ordered the guards.

One of the guards took out a key and opened the bedroom door. Hu Lei took a step into the room before turning back. "You are dismissed. Get someone to bring her belongings."

The guards wanted to protest but they had no right to do so. They could only follow her orders.

Song Lili was lying on the bed when Hu Lei entered, looking like she had nowhere else to be. She sat up when Hu Lei entered. She winced in pain at the movement.

"Have you come to bring me my shares?" She asked with a smile.

Hu Lei looked at her like she was a clown.

"No, I have come to release you back to the wild." Hu Lei smiled back.

Song Lili frowned as if she was unprepared for this, but she recovered. "You know that I am not full of empty threats. If I get nothing, I will destroy the Zhong family. At the very least, I will make sure that you cannot appear with Zhong Feng in public."

"I don't doubt it. After all, you turned against a woman who cared for you so callously." Hu Lei paused. "But you have also underestimated me."

Hu Lei stretched her hand and gripped Song Lili's upper arm. "I bet you are in quite a bit of pain right now."

Song Lili's eyes widened as she tried not to cry out in pain. "What did you do?"

Hu Lei laughed. "You tried to mess with the crazy lady, and the crazy lady messed with you. You know, this is just the beginning. In a few days, you will hardly be able to move."

"I will sue you. I will sue you!" Song Lili shouted.

"For what?" Hu Lei asked in mock shock. "You do not have any injuries, and if you did, you have no evidence."

"I will upload the video as soon as I leave this place. One way or the other, I will destroy you." Song Lili swore.

"You would need to have the video to do that." Hu Lei laughed. "You know, for a commoner, you have a lot of hidey holes for your bad deeds."

Song Lili felt her heart lurch in her chest.

"It would be a big shame if someone went to all those little hiding places and took everything. And then told all the big powerful people that were being blackmailed that they were free." Hu Lei smiled like a demon. "What do you think will happen to the owner of the hidey holes?"

Song Lili felt a cold shiver in her body.

"If I was the owner, I would leave the country immediately and hide carefully until things blew over. Of course, I would avoid places like Britain after the humiliation I caused the children of some important people."

Song Lili knew at that moment that she was finished. "I really underestimated you, Hu Lei. You hid too deeply. Fine, I will leave."

Hu Lei laughed. "Don't act like you are doing me a favour by leaving. You don't know how many people will be hunting you down."

Song Lili stood up and tried to shake off the aching in her body. She knew that she had no leverage anymore.

"A piece of advice: try to get somewhere safe by tomorrow. The pain will be debilitating by then."
