The Villain's Wife (WN)
chapter-672

"I guess…. I should go now?" Jun Liang gave a tight-lipped smile when he saw his own brother leave the room.He could feel sweat trickling down his back as he hoped that he wouldn't ruin everything just because he was nervous. Eying the police standing behind Mr. B, he smiled. At least, his safety was assured. Seeing Mr. B nod at him, Jun Liang rose from his seat.

He should just calm down and trust the process. Without saying another word, Jun Liang walked out of the room and stood in front of Chen Shi's room. He opened his phone and dialed her number. "Hey… I am outside." He said the moment she picked up the call.

Not long after, Chen Shi opened the door, a gentle smile was plastered on her face. For some reason, this instantly irritated him. However, this did not surprise him. After all, he was already a victim of this woman's scheme years ago.

"Come in." She said and gestured for him to come inside.

"Why do you want to see me?" he immediately asked. He could not deny that this woman still affected him. The mention of her name could make him angry, and seeing her… seeing her just brought some painful and hateful memories from all those years ago.

"Please sit down." Chen Shi said. She sat on one of the chairs in the living room of the en suite room."Please… Jun… just hear me out." The absence of animosity in her voice instantly made him wonder why she had become like this. Why would she hate men so much? He wondered.

He sat opposite to her and watched as she poured some tea for both of them. "I would like to talk about Demi." She added before she handed the teacup to Jun Liang. In response, he accepted the cup but put it back on the table.

"I am not here to drink tea." He uttered. Who knows what kind of poison this woman might have put in her tea. Moreover, Mr. B told him not to take anything from this woman.

"I— " Chen Shi lowered her head, she bit her lips, tears started pooling in her eyes. "I only want to see my daughter."

"Demi is in a hospital. Her mind is not right."

"Are you calling her crazy?"

"She needs medication." Jun Liang said. Demi might just have inherited her mother's crazy genes.However, unlike Chen Shi, he would make sure that Demi got the right treatment that she needed. The child might not be his real daughter, however, he had long treated her as one. And he was not planning to change this just because of Chen Shi's stupidity.

"Are you telling me that she is still in a mental facility?"

"Of course. I already told you about this. However, just to make sure that you won't go and get her, I will not divulge the location of the place."

"But— "

"No buts… Yani, I know how treacherous you are!" While Demi was actually with Lily, Jun Liang was always updated with his daughter's condition. He had been talking to the people taking care of Demi and was happy to know that his daughter was showing progress in her mental state.

"Jun! How could you say that? I know we parted in a very chaotic way, but she is still my daughter! I have the right to know her location!"

"Chaotic?" He snorted. "You call that chaotic? Yani Chen… stop acting as if you are a saint. When we parted, you threatened to sue me for something that I never did if I didn't change the settlement terms! You also refused to see our children formonths, using the pretense that you couldn't spend some time with them without trembling as our marriage really traumatized you!" He said almost in one breath. It was obvious that the past had been bugging him until now.

Seeing Chen Shi just stare at him, he added, "You even forced me to attend your second marriage just a year after our divorce just to show to your friends that we were happy with our current situation! You used me for your name and reputation! You barely saw our children because you were obsessed with building your name and reputation! You are always about you and yourself! And you dare claim that you are a mother?"

"Jun… please all these things happened more than fifteen years ago. Can we… can we move on? Forget about all these? Jun… we are already old. We can't continue to hold these things in our hearts forever. We should learn how to forgive and forget." Her voice was soft— too soft. It immediately made Jun Liang fume in anger.

Jun Liang stared at Chen Shi's face as he clenched his jaws. "Believe it or not. I had forgiven you a long time ago." He uttered, his deep voice devoid of any emotion. "However… forgetting is a different thing." While he knew that Mr. B and the others were recording this conversation right now, Jun Liang still could not help but feel emotional.

This woman ruined his life. She made him do things… that were against his morals just for the sake of showing the public that they were indeed happy and even pretend to be in love even if they were already divorced. He gulped. "Demi is my daughter. I was the one who raised her. I am not the perfect father and I know that, I am also to be blamed for what happened to her. However… you were nothing but the one who gave birth to her. You are a mother… in name, nothing more."

Slowly, tears streamed in Chen Shi's eyes. His harsh words were true and she hated it. She hated how it hurt her. "I am willing to give you the proof that I was lying about the bruises— my bruises. After this, I won't be able to use the abuse to threaten you. I will do this in exchange for Demi's location." She said, her gaze straight towards his brown eyes. "This is for my daughter."\
