The Villain's Wife Chapter 639 Never About Money

The Villain's Wife 639 Never About MoneySlowly, Qin Chuan's eyes widened. Bec and Su Ma's similarities were just too obvious to miss. Sometimes, he wondered if Su Ma was Bec, who had amnesia and forgotten all about him.

"Well… Did you ever wonder why someone would want to imitate her? Or how was she able to imitate my mother so well?"
Qin Chuan took a step back. He felt his body tremble at her words. Bec had lived in the Qin mansion with Tang Lingyun and Qin Mo for years. Surely, Tang Lingyun would have had enough time to notice every single detail about Bec.
"But— "
"Your choice." Lily interrupted him. "I honestly don't want to see you again. If you want to talk to me, please contact my lawyer or Yang Mi." She said before she turned towards Zhou Jingren. "Have someone escort him out. I will go back to sleep." Lily didn't wait for Qin Chuan to respond as she walked inside with her head held high. She would never regret cutting off a person like Qin Chuan.
Seeing Lily's disappearing back, Zhou Jingren stood from his seat. He then stared at Qin Chuan's gloomy expression. "You made your bed. Now… you can sleep in it." He uttered before instructing one of the twins to escort Qin Chuan out as they were done talking.
When Zhou Jingren went back to their room, Lily was already lying on the bed. He sat next to her and let out a sigh. "Are you going back to sleep?" he asked. She nodded in response.
"I need at least an hour more." Lily said as she let out a yawn. "I am really sleepy and talking to someone like that man was too exhausting for my poor brain."
"Then sleep. But you have to wake up for breakfast so you can take your vitamins."
"Yes sir." Lily saluted. Zhou Jingren responded with a low chuckle.
"Alright." Zhou Jingren leaned down to kiss her forehead. He then walked out of the room and went to his study.
Sitting on his leather chair, Zhou Jingren said, "So… Zhou Huifang?" He stared at Bei Tian who was sitting opposite to him. Before Qin Chuan came, he was in here talking to Bei Tian.
"First.. Did Lily say we could kill his father?" Bei Tian asked.
"No."
"Oh." Disappointment flashed in Bei Tian's eyes. "Too bad, huh. If we kill him… it will be easier you know."
"Death is too easy for him." Zhou Jingren said. "Let's stop talking about irrelevant people. So, Huifang?"
"Yes. He has been very secretive lately. But we managed to find a few phone calls he made to… Europe and some states in the US." Bei Tian stood from his seat and stared outside of the window. "It seems that Zhou Kang's influence has been embedded into his head."
"So he hates us." Zhou Jingren stated.
"For some reason… he thinks that we stole everything from him." He turned towards Zhou Jingren. "I told you. I don't want to get involved in this Zhou Company. It just doesn't make any sense that they make me an heir when I am already busy dealing with everything behind your back." He let out an exasperated sigh.
"It was their choice. Not mine." He shrugged, "You know… you can always inherit the company once you want to settle down."
"That thing is not for me." Bei Tian clenched his jaws. "Also… I may not be very smart but I feel like someone is watching us. I cannot confirm this suspicion but... I just think someone could be monitoring our movements."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Jingren frowned.
"Do you remember the hospital equipment we stole from the Lee Group a couple of months back?"
"Hm, What about it?"
"The person that I assigned to deal with it was able to sell it to another hospital in Thailand. And guess what? He told me that the people who bought it seemed to be expecting him. It was as if… they knew where we got the equipment. At one point, they even mentioned Old Man Lee's death which made the conversation extremely uncomfortable."
Zhou Jingren turned silent at his words. To be honest… his instinct had been telling him the same thing. He knew that this had already started last year. However lately, the feeling seemed to intensify. "We need to know if someone is indeed watching us. I will talk to Qin Yuanfeng. Maybe we could set up some bait or stir the waters to catch the fish." He uttered.
"Good. I will focus on Chen Shi and Zhou Huifang then."
"You know… I have this suspicion that Zhou Huifang is involved in this matter with Tang Lingyun and Su Ma. Were you able to trace where Tang Lingyun went when she disappeared after stabbing Qin Mo?"
"No. But… we are working on it. If Zhou Huifang is indeed involved, then I'm sure that he is covering his bases." Bei Tian answered as he walked back to his seat. "I always thought that he was a little dumb. Dumber than me. This whole thing is just making me wonder… how was he able to have the guts to fight us? And… where did he get his resources?"
"That is right. Zhou Huifang never laundered money from the company and was well behaved until a couple of months back." Zhou Jingren added. He knew that they were missing something here, something crucial.
"Anyway, I will leave now." Bei Tian said. "I have a flight to Russia at nine in the morning." He yawned. "I have not slept since last night."
"You should not exhaust yourself too much. Why don't you take a vacation? Maybe on a beach somewhere?"
"Nah." He met Zhou Jingren's eyes. "I'm good. Once Lily gives birth, you will be busy taking care of her. By then.. All the work will be on me. I need to eliminate as many enemies as I can by then. To lessen the burden on both of you."
Zhou Jingren's lips thinned. "You are not required to do this. Your health matters too. I know this is not about the money… "
"This is not about money." Bei Tian interrupted him. "It was never about money." A gentle smile escaped his lips.
