The Villain’s Wife 640 Tricks

When Lily woke up again, it was already nine in the morning. Zhou Jingren had tried to wake her up around eight but she refused to leave their bed. In the end, Zhou Jingren had told her that he would leave ahead of her as he had a meeting scheduled at nine.

After having breakfast she went to the Facci Group first to tell Qin Yuanfeng about the oil company. She also wanted to ask about his trip to London and his experience in the Arison Family’s Company. It was just another uneventful morning for Lily.

"So he called you just to ask if you knew about Su Ma’s incident?" Lily wanted to laugh at Qin Chuan’s stupidity. "Did he tell you he married her?"

As expected, Qin Yuanfeng frowned. "He married her?"

"Of course he did. They already got their marriage certificate and are planning the wedding for next year."

"He is crazy." Qin Yuanfeng turned to his computer. "So that Su Ma came here to frame you? How bold."

"And stupid. I mean... If I wanted her dead, I would not do it in Hong Kong just after she met with me. Does she think I’m crazy or worse, stupid?"

"She probably thought you would have a pretty bad reaction during that meeting. She was banking on the fact that you were upset last time. Maybe she was hoping you would lose your cool and slap her? If that happened, she would give her a reason to cry in front of Qin Chuan. And... it would make you an instant suspect in this incident."

"Hmmm..." Lily nodded. Obviously, that must be the thing Su Ma had hoped would happen. However, she reacted differently. Su Ma knew she wouldn’t have another chance to try and frame Lily, so she still went through with her initial plan.

"Stupidity at its finest." Qin Yuanfeng uttered. "That woman... must have thought that Qin Chuan would immediately lash out on you— "

"He did." Lily interrupted him. "He went to see me just this morning and asked me if I was the one responsible."

"He did?" When Lily nodded, Qin Yuanfeng continued. "Is he insane? Does he really think you are dumb?" Disbelief flashed in his eyes. "Does he think our world revolves around his life? Does he really think we care so much about his woman?" Displeasure laced his tone.

"So... I decided to cut him off. From now on... I don’t want anything to do with him." Lily shrugged. She does not need to surround herself with unhappy and unlucky people. After all, emotional distress was an infectious disease.

"And he agreed?" He asked.

"Does he even have a choice?" Lily snorted. "He already made his choice when he came to my house and asked me if I was the one responsible for that incident."

"Well... unfortunate people only draw misfortune towards themselves. You are pregnant, it is only right to avoid them." Qin Yuanfeng nodded. "Is Su Ma still alive?"

"Hmmm." Lily nodded. "Jingren told me they got blood and some other DNA samples from Su Ma. They will compare it to Tang Lingyun’s daughter, Qin Fei’s DNA just for evidence. Of course, we won’t give it to Qin Chuan."

"Did you tell Qin Chuan about Tang Lingyun though?"

"I did. Then I said my goodbyes." She nodded before continuing. "That Su Ma is following someone’s orders. There is no way she had the brains to even think about this scheme. My guess is... there is still something wrong with her body, maybe she needed another surgery. So they used this opportunity to do that."

"Who are they?"

"No idea." Lily shrugged. "I am only guessing, for now. It won’t take long before I find out who is responsible for all this." Narrowing her eyes, Lily continued. "And when I find them, they will face my retribution."

"You don’t have to do it anymore. Let Jingren deal with this matter. You should trust him more."

His words instantly made Lily silent. For a few minutes, she stared at her twin brother. "Am I... not trusting him?"

"I don’t know. I’m single." He shrugged.

Lily laughed at his statement. Of course this man did not know. Why is she even asking him?

"Alright. I still need to go and have lunch with Jingren. Tell me if you find something suspicious about the petroleum company. I want to know everything about the people behind that company. Their hobbies, their sleep routines, books they read, people they talk to, whether they prefer coffee or tea. Everything."

"Hmm... got it." Qin Yuanfeng nodded. He understood every little information mattered since they were dealing with something— or someone— No. This time, they were trying to deal with Lily’s instinct. Not some facts but instincts.

Don’t get him wrong. Qin Yuanfeng does not trust something he cannot see, but he truly believed in Lily’s capability in sensing danger. Maybe this was a twin thing? Maybe it wasn’t. But there was something in Qin Yuanfeng telling him Lily might be right.

After seeing Lily leave, Qin Yuanfeng stood from his seat. He walked towards his own coffee maker and grabbed his umpteenth coffee for the day. "What is it?" He hissed when he noticed someone open his door without permission. He turned towards the door and saw a woman looking at him with her ashen face. "What is it?" He asked as his irritation grew.

"I told everyone not to disturb me!" He added and walked back to his table without sparing the woman another glance.

"I— I... Mr. Rossi asked me to give these files to you. But I... I accidentally spilled something in it. So I uh... I will print another— "

"You are fired." Qin Yuanfeng’s voice echoed inside his office. He lifted his head and stared at the woman’s weak appearance. "Leave and pack your things. Tell the HR Department I fired you."

"But— But... I..." the woman stuttered as tears pooled in her eyes. "Mr. Qin..."

"I see." Qin Yuanfeng interrupted her. Tricks like this were useless against him anymore. He picked up his phone and instantly dialed the security. "I have a deaf employee in my office. She’s fired. Escort her out of my office and also bring someone to clean her mess."

"Mr. Qin!" The woman exclaimed in an attempt to stop him.
