Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

"That was the whole purpose behind those pictures. Releasing on social media was your secondary objective. The primary objective was just to…"

The rest of the truth was disgusting to even speak of.

Caihong clutched her chest, her shaky breaths escaping in disbelief. She stared at Xiaosi demanding for an answer. "You knew about this since before and you are telling about it now?"

Xiaosi could very well see the hint of anger and danger leaking through her irises.

"Yes. I knew about it from before. When I tracked down Qiu, I came across the part when she met Yin in a club. It was quite evident what she was doing. They left together a few minutes later and I saw them entering a room. Since you didn't care about my daughter's privacy, I didn't care about yours," he coldly directed the last sentence targeting Qiu.

"So why didn't you say so before, Dad!" Xiang glared at him. "Why did you allow sis to be with such a loser and cheater?"

Xiaosi slightly lowered his gaze. A trace of guilt formed a layer on his irises. "I know I was cruel to Chyou. Believe me. Nobody was more desperate to break it down to her than me. I wanted Chyou to see for herself how far he could go to humiliate her.

To see what kind of a person she was compromising for. Instead of me showing his true face, I wanted Cheng Yin to prove it himself. And he did."

Chyou clenched her fists. "But…Yin had uploaded the video standing up for me…"

Xiaosi narrowed his eyes. "That was AFTER Yating put up the video. Of course, the boyfriend would have to give some face to his girlfriend or it would have affected his reputation. He is an actor. He did phenomenal acting."

'First of all, your manager threatened Qiao Kang and secondly, we cannot show our fans that there are problems between us, right?'

'If you think he wasn't acting being the Queen yourself, then I pity your future career.'

Sun Xiang and Yin's words reverberated in her ears and a chill spread along the spine.

Yeah I knew he was forced to do it, didn't I…?

She inwardly laughed at herself for her stupidity.

The whole time, Yating's focus was only on Chyou, who seemed to be spiraling into a place of no return. The last thread of hope had also snapped into half. There was nothing left for her to cling onto anymore. Chyou wasn't blind to see Yin and Qui panicking and fumbling to prove themselves.

More than anything, if it was Xiaosi saying then there was simply no place to challenge it any further. He would never make such serious accusations until he was absolutely sure of the evidence. He had the evidence with him, but he wasn't showing it only to not cripple his daughter further.

By that point, Yating wasn't listening to any of the chaos. He could only see Chyou standing in her place yet not quite present in the present. Her trust had been shattered so hard from all directions that there was no place left to gain some solace.

Chyou…

His eyes ached watching her breaking down and he could do nothing to stop it. The sheer helplessness filled his heart with grudge and animosity.

"Mr. Zhu please try to understand. I-I had no relations with this woman! I don't know what you are talking about!" Yin's fight to prove himself innocent broke the reverie.

Xiaosi's dark eyes threatened him. "Don't make me play the CCTV footage here or you will have no face to hide, Cheng Yin."

He froze.

Xiang was growing frustrated to see the culprits still not admitting to their cheating. He sneered at Qiu and Qiao Kang.

"You two keeping your silence won't be helping yourselves, okay? You, as a manager, aided him to cheat and fucking spoke nothing. And this shameless woman. What should I say about her? I think she would appreciate spending the rest of her life in jail."

Qiu shuddered hard.

"After all, she tarnished sis's reputation baselessly and a defamation case would land her up in a perfect sweet spot in the jail."

"Th-That's not…true…" Qiu's color was draining away.

The mention of jail was now really shaking her up badly. She ran to Yin's side and grabbed his arm. "P-Please help me, Bro Cheng. I don't want to be in jail. I…" she cried. "I only did what I did to help you…"

Yating stared at her incredulously. "Help him? Are you hearing yourself? You say that showing those pictures to him and getting in bed with him was helping him?"

She bit her lip hard. "I-I just…didn't agree to how Miss. Zhu was treating Prince Cheng. Everybody was…a-always praising your and her chemistry a-and how you looked like a good couple. Miss. Zhu was never bothered by it.

B-but did she realize how it was affecting Prince Cheng. I have seen him hurt and angry but she never cared about it. I just wanted to see him happy-"

"By seducing him!?" Xiang exclaimed.

Yin shook her hand off his arm and pushed her away. "Get away from me! What nonsense are you talking about? Y-you are also framing me just like them!"

Qiu stumbled off hard and looked at him blankly. She couldn't believe that he threw her away in front of everyone. "You…H-How could you do that Prince Cheng?"

She pleaded to Qiao Kang. "Mr. Qiao, please h-help me. You know everything right? Y-you…even told me to stay away from him because nobody can find out or else his reputation…But you promised me that you would find a way out!"

A wry smile formed on Chyou's lips. There was nothing left to hear anymore.

Qiao Kang gulped hard.

Yating's gaze grew extremely frigid. "What kind of a way out? To have Chyou as your girlfriend and her as your secret kept mistress?"

"No-No, Mr. Gu! I never said anything like that!"

"So you admit that you knew about this?"

"I…" he clenched his jaw.

Instead of facing their wrath and making his life difficult, he chose to come out with it and probably earn some leniency along the way.

"Yes…It's true that Yin has slept with her."
