The Villain's Wife Chapter 536 Unlucky

The Villain's Wife 536 UnluckyThe monotonous hiss of the car wheel over the rain-washed highway made Lily smile. She loved it. The sound of the rain against their windshield seemed to make her excited.

"You keep on smiling lately." Zhou Jingren noted. "I like it." He added. After the pregnancy, his Lily seemed to become more cheerful. She seemed to smile at the smallest things, and this is making him ecstatic.
"Hmmm." Lily only nodded. "I used to hate the rain." She said as he leaned on his shoulders. "For some reason, I think it is good. I am starting to love it. Maybe it was because it's been really hot the past few days and the rain is just… refreshing." She closed her eyes and inhaled her husband��s scent. "Are you not going to accompany me to see Jun Liang?"
Lily and Zhou Jingren are on their way to one of a high-end coffee shop at the airport to meet Jun Liang.
"Of course, I will."
"Oh."
"Don't you want me to be there?"
"No, it's alright. I would love for you to accompany me." Lily smiled. Since she got pregnant, Zhou Jingren had been very careful around her. He would accompany her every time she goes out of the house. However, when Lily was at the mansion, Zhou Jingren didn't stay with her as he had a meeting to attend to.
Lily does not have a problem with this setup at all. In fact, she liked it. His company makes her lighter and more secure. "Oh! Before I forgot… someone invited us to a birthday party tomorrow." She said almost lazily. To be honest, Lily is not in the mood for this party. She is not in the mood to act cordial and smile to everyone.
"Tomorrow?" He lifted an eyebrow. "Are you talking about the Yu Family's invitation?"
"You knew?"
"The second son of the patriarch personally invited me, yesterday. He went to my office just to tell me that we are invited. He even handed me a golden invitation to the event." He answered.
"Interesting," Lily uttered as she opened her eyes. She stifled a yawn. The sound of the rain seemed to make her more sleepy. "Are they trying to compete who could invite more influential people?" She chuckled. "The second son, huh?"
"Well… because of Yu Jing's scandal, his father is having arguments with the Old Man." Zhuo Jingren said. "The Second son chose to take advantage of the situation." This was a simple case of healthy competition between the rich. They wanted to show off, who among them have the most connections hoping that it will make their father favor them.
Lily stared at her husband. She wanted to ask how the latter knew this information. However, she already knew the answer to her question. "I talked to Madam Yu yesterday. She personally gave me the invitation and even said that they would really appreciate our attendance."
"Then… are we going?"
"Of course! Yu Jing and his… future wife is coming too." Lily gave him a meaningful smile. "I mean… they already announced their engagement this morning, right?"
"Hmmm. They did." Qiao Qiao was able to turn the public opinion to her side after announcing that they are indeed in a relationship and are in fact engaged. She was crying as she said that the only reason why they did not announce their relationship sooner was that she does not want to drag his name down. She would not want people to think that he is corrupt and had been bribing people just to help her.
Qiao Qiao mentioned that she does not want people to think that she got all her movie deals and endorsements because of Yu Jing's connections. Of course, the people immediately sided with her.
Many believed that the entertainment industry is very toxic. Because of its toxicity, it forces many people to hide their relationships and avoid public persecution. Do you know how hard it is to hide your relationship with other people because of fear?
Another group of people ruthlessly said that Qiao Qiao indeed stole those endorsements and movie deals from other artists under the management. Many were quick to point out that Qiao Qiao is very beautiful and CEO Yu is not that good looking. Many said that a woman like Qiao Qiao would not easily entertain someone like CEO Yu unless they are after benefits and money.
'Gold Digger Qiao'
The sentence started trending, causing another uproar in the cyberworld. Many argued that this is genuine love. However, a lot of people still point out the reality in the world today.
[So what is she is after his money? She is only being practical! He seemed happy with her. What is your deal people? Hmph!]
[Miss Qiao, in life, girls needed to kiss a lot of frogs before they find their prince. I have money too! Maybe you could come and kiss me as well! Hahahaha]
[Can we just leave them alone? Loving is not wrong! So what if he is not good looking? Do you really think women are all shallow? We don't just choose a man because they are handsome!]
"People are really ruthless," Lily said as she read the comments online. "This is a very scary world." She noted as she continued reading the comments online.
"It is funny." Zhou Jingren said.
"What's so funny about it?"
"Well… this happened without your idea or brilliant schemes. What do you think will happen if you decided to scheme against them?" His lips lifted into a smile as a flashed of pride can be seen in his eyes.
Lily laughed in response. "Well, you give them the bullet and they use it to shoot themselves. That man… that Yu Jing? Also had a hand in all this." She added. "Qiao Qiao is unlucky to meet a man like him."
"Hmmm… Unlucky indeed." He added.
Lily turned silent as she started watching the press conference of them declaring their relationship. Qiao Qiao must have thought that she could easily manipulate someone like Yu Jing. She had actually underestimated the man. Qiao Qiao lowered her guard when she thought that the man seemed too stupid.
She had forgotten the fact that Yu Jing is someone from the entertainment industry. He is someone who had met a lot of women who tried to use him because of his influence.
