The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 575 Too Bad

Reminder:

Zhou Huifang- Zhou Jingren’s cousin.

Qi Xi the one from Gaming industry.

Chen Shi narrowed her eyes at the young man and shifted her gaze into the other man following sitting beside him. Now that she thought about it, both of them look really familiar. She was sure that she had seen these two somewhere. "You called me. That only means you also need something from me." She uttered.

"Alright then... Let us introduce ourselves. I am Qi Xia from Qi Gamings. I am also the captain of The Ivory Squads that is making its name in the gaming industry around the world. And this... this is my friend Zhou Huifang." He gestured at the man sitting next to him. "And we are here to help you."

"How will you help me? I am not even sure if I can trust you or if the information that you will give me is accurate." She said. Their names sounded familiar. These two are not very popular in the media nor they are big names in the business industry, so it is only normal for her not to recognize them. She figured that she might have seen them in some lifestyle magazine before and that is the reason why she found them familiar.

Her words earn a chuckle from both men. She frowned.

"Miss Chen... we can assure you that the information that we have is beneficial for both of us." Zhou Huifang said the same smug smile was on his face.

"Then tell me... who is behind all these?" she asked. "And what is the price of helping me?"

"Very direct." Qi Xia pursed his lips. "Miss Chen... are you familiar with someone name Zhou Jingren?"

Chen Shi lifted an eyebrow. She stared at Qi Xia’s face, then shifted her gaze towards Zhou Huifang. How could Zhou Jingren target her? She was sure that she didn’t leave any proof when she asked Qiao Qiao to ruin Lily. Unless... Qiao Qiao told them about her.

However, Lily and Zhou Jingren are both careful people. She was sure that they would not just believe someone like Qiao Qiao. After all, she is shallow and dumb. Her words do not have any weight. Especially when she doesn’t really have a shred of evidence that Chen Shi was involved in this matter.

"His influence in the black market is huge. And he is the one responsible for the harassment that your people received this past few weeks. Now... we are not sure why would someone like him to target you and to be honest, we do not care. Each of us has our own goals and secrets." Zhou Huifang gave her a meaningful look.

"What do you want in return?" she asked. Chen Shi wondered why these two would choose to tell her this information. "What do you need from me?"

"Well... for starters. We want your help in ruining both Zhou Jingren and his wife." Zhou Huifang answered as he handed two images to Chen Shi. "These are Lily’s biological father and brother."

A flash of surprise can be seen in Chen Shi’s face as she looked at the images.

"We are going to target his father while you... you target her brother."

"What do you mean?" she looked at Qi Xia.

"Miss Chen... stop acting dumb." Qi Xia leaned towards her. "We know you are far from being dumb."

"So you wanted to hurt her by turning her father and brother against her?" Chen Shi asked. "What does that accomplish? As far as I know, she did not publicly declare these two as her family. Are you sure that she cares for them?" she sneered. "You two are dumb to think that a woman like her would get affected if you turn her family against her."

"Do you think she values them that much?" she added.

Both men turned silent at her words.

"See? You don’t even know." Chen Shi snorted. These two are really young and inexperienced. "Lily is... smart and cunning. Do you think she would sit while you ruin her family? She would retaliate and destroy you."

"Miss Chen... we won’t really know until we try." Qi Xia answered. To be honest, the reason why they approached Chen Shi is that of her brains. And to make her act against Lily and Zhou Jingren. They wanted to have a powerful ally, and this woman is just the perfect person for that role. "As I said... we are already working with someone to get close to Lily’s father. Once we succeed, this will cause a few problems for Lily."

"It might not be enough to destroy her and her husband. However... it will surely cause a few heartaches and misunderstandings."

"So... you wanted me to invest in something that will only cause a few misunderstandings?" Chen Shi asked, sarcasm laced her tone. She would never waste her time just for a few misunderstandings. She immediately wondered if these two were actually serious.

"Be honest... did you tell me this because you wanted me to scheme against her?" she asked. Judging from the way that these two talks, it was obvious that they have no idea about Qiao Qiao.

"That is one of the reasons." Zhou Huifang answered.

"Then no." Chen Shi shook her head. "You have a stupid plan. And I won’t waste my time just to give them small heartaches."

"Miss Chen..." Zhou Huifang eyed Qi Xia as he made a deliberate pause. "Once our plan succeeds... we will gain a million-dollar company and we will have a chance to ruin Lily." He was talking about Qin Chuan’s company. "We can give you half of everything."

"Company?" Chen Shi turned towards Zhou Huifang. "How sure are you that Lily will allow that?" Chen Shi is not the type of person who would mindlessly scheme against someone without a proper plan. She is not dumb enough to work with these two people that could easily expose her true self.

For Chen Shi, working alone is always better than working with these two men. Too bad, their excellent looks were not proportionate to their brains. She sighed inwardly.

Too bad. Just... too bad.
