Chapter 358 An Interrogation Of ’Guiying’ (1)

'Guiying' took over when 'she' had enough of Guiying's mopey behavior. "Are you done talking to her? If I let her be, this woman will destroy her life with her own hands."

She finished eating the apple and got up to leave. "Ba bye. It's boring being here."

Just then, her phone lit up with a message from Ai. "Hoo~ why is Zhou Ai texting me?"

Zhan Yahui narrowed her eyes. "What is she saying?"

She raised her brow. "She wants to meet me tomorrow with Liu Jun."

Zhan Yahui didn't show it in her eyes but inwardly, she was slightly concerned about this meeting.

Zhou Ai herself has long stopped any communication with Guiying. Why does she suddenly want to meet her now?

It cannot be that…they learned something about her connection to Chen Zixin, right?

"Why did you suddenly go silent?" 'she' frowned. "I acted like a good friend last time I met her, so it might probably be a sort of casual meeting?" 'she' smiled. "It's nice for me though. I will get to see how close that cheater MrPerfect has gotten to my best friend~"

She stared at her and slowly said, "Sure do that. But don't mention anything about MrPerfect to them. I know you and Guiying both have a lot of grievances about him, but it's a card we don't want to reveal so soon. In fact…" she squinted her eyes, "Revenge is best served when the other person doesn't know who it is that ruined his life."

'She' cocked her brow. "Is that so?"

Zhan Yahui's eyes flickered with a dangerous glint. "Yes. That's the most satisfying. To see the other crumble. To see the other get punished. To see him get retribution. But…" she chuckled. "He wouldn't even know who got him. He wouldn't even understand who played against him. Was it fate or was it a person? You play your cards. Slowly…steadily…move forward closer and closer and then bam! Until the very end, he…would be so simply so helpless."

'Guiying' remarked, feeling impressed. "That sounds fun. Seems like a cool ride."

"It IS fun."

"You are right. It won't be so easy. I want to utterly destroy him. Even if I have to hide my hatred for him, I will do it."

Zhan Yahui smiled.

Jun and Ai decided to meet Guiying in a private restaurant for their meeting. After learning Guiying's heavy involvement in Jun and Jin's lives in the past, Ai could barely hold onto her senses. She never imagined that her best friend not only ruined her life by taking Yating away from her but also messed up Jun's life and his relationship with his family.

Ever since then, Jun saw her slipping into a stupor many times with her expression reflecting pain and disbelief.

He intertwined his hand against hers. "Don't think so hard about her and get sad about it, Ai. I told you, right? If I see you sad, I will punish you."

Ai pressed her lips. "I cannot help it, Jun. First, I thought that she snatched my boyfriend and was responsible for my painful life. Then this time, I was beginning to believe her. Just a little…that things weren't what they seemed to be. Maybe she had her reasons hidden from me and maybe, she was truly innocent. But how can she be innocent if she and Bro Lingyun weaved such a deep plot against you and your family?"

She balled a part of her dress in her fist. "I thought that perhaps…Guiying and I can be truly friends again. For real, this time."

They noticed 'Guiying' enter and she smiled at them as she waved at them. "Hey. Hi, Ai. How are you?"

"...I am fine," she gave a non-committal response.

'Guiying' stared at Jun but didn't let the anger slip out in any way. "Mr. Liu Jun. Nice to meet you. Somehow, I feel our meeting in Shanghai didn't bode so well."

Jun narrowed his eyes. "Indeed."

"So, what's up? I am curious what you want to talk to me about haha."

After a long pause, Jun said as he thought about his past life, "There are so many things we want to ask you about. A pity that we cannot do that. But for starters, how about you tell us more about the Shanghai Fest?"

'She' blinked.

Shanghai? What is this man getting at?

"Yes, Shanghai. Cai Guiying."

'She' narrowed her eyes.

Jun carefully asked, "Do you know me from somewhere?"

'Guiying' stared at him in silence. "Sorry?"

"I asked if you know me from somewhere. Not as Ai's boyfriend but someplace else."

'She' smiled amidst the confusion and doubts sprouting in her heart. She wasn't exactly sure how to answer him. "I don't understand your question, Liu Jun. What are you getting at? How can I…know you from anywhere?"

? "Think hard about it."

'She' glanced at Ai. "What is going on, Ai? Why do I feel that this is an interrogation?"

Ai answered, her voice distant. "We want to know, Guiying. Please answer us."

'Guiying' felt more restless but furious. "I don't know what this is about, but I don't know Liu Jun from anywhere. How is this possible? I have never met him before."

Jun's eyes turned increasingly icier. "Not even Han Shui?"

'Guiying' slightly stiffened.

"You met her in Shanghai, right? I learned an interesting thing."

Suddenly, 'she' became more and more aware of the point he might want to make.

"I could have never imagined that the Warlord I was chatting with until now was a woman. And you at that."

Silence.

"You fooled us quite nicely."

'Guiying' felt her blood boil.

That woman…Despite telling her to keep it a secret, she babbled out everything.

*Knock knock*

"Sir?" A waiter stepped in, bringing a tray of refreshments. "Your order."

Ai nodded.

The waiter placed the tray on the table, bowed and left.

It was a distraction 'Guiying' appreciated to think some more but unfortunately, she had nowhere to hide.

'She' smiled. "You are right. I am Warlord."
