The Villain's Wife (WN)
chapter-685

Bei Tian hadn't even finished shooting all his arrows when Veron already left in a huff. "Take care of the bet." He snarled. Losing to someone who was not even taking him seriously was more insulting than losing to a professional!

"Brother!" Veronica called out however, her brother didn't stop. He walked out of the venue without saying anything else. This was something that Veronica had already expected. Sighing, she walked towards Bei Tian who had just finished his twentieth arrow. "You won." She said, avoiding his gaze as she stared at the target from afar.

"Of course I would." Bei Tian beamed. "Your brother?"

"He went out. I will take care of the payment." She said as she held her phone in her hand. After a few minutes, Veronica stared at Bei Tian's smug face, an overwhelming guilt glinted in her eyes. "It's done." She had previously given her contact to Bei Tian together with the video so contacting them about the payment was not a problem.

"Alright." Bei Tian beamed. "Your welcome."

Veronica froze. What kind of shameless man did she and her brother meet? Without waiting for her to respond, Bei Tian walked towards his friends, the same smug grin was on his face. Seeing this, Veronica lowered her head as she left the place silently, hoping that this incident wouldn't affect their presentation tomorrow.

Or else… their father would surely kick them out of the family. Biting her lips, Veronica started to look for her brother.

Seeing Veronica's disappearing back, Bei Tian's face suddenly turned serious. He then met Zhou Jingren's eyes before shifting his gaze to Lily. "That man is too ill- tempered. You should be careful."

The sudden shift in the atmosphere was expected. "Of course, there is nothing to worry about. I'm sure he won't do anything to you." After all, they were looking for someone to buy their shares, not someone to sue.

"Well… Young master Bei just won a lot of money tonight! Why are we talking about other things unrelated to this money?" Lily beamed. "I mean… we were cheering for you."

"What cheer?" Bei Tian frowned. "I didn't hear anyone cheer for me."

"Silly Bei Tian… if we yelled your name, we would have disturbed your concentration. So we prayed for your health instead. We prayed that you would have enough stamina to sustain shooting all the arrows." Yang Mi smirked. "Now that you win, isn't it fair that you pay us? For our prayers?"

"Huh? What does this have to do with my money?" Bei Tian's loud voice was followed with boisterous laughter that instantly made the atmosphere a little lighter. The group started talking for a few minutes, joking with each other before they decided to go home.

It was a nice day and everyone really had fun. Because of this, they decided to have a get together every holiday. After all, they already considered each other as family.

"Did you have a great time?" Zhou Jingren smiled as he leaned on the door of the bathroom, his arms folded across his chest, as he stared at Lily.

"Hmmm." She nodded before applying a serum on her face. "It was fun." Lily never really had this kind of fun as she grew up. Now that she thought about it, these people were considered her first friends. After finishing her skin care routine, Lily and Zhou Jingren went to bed with smiles on their faces.

Sometimes, you don't need blood relations to consider each other as family.

"I already told you, it's alright if you choose to stay here. You don't have to accompany me." Lily said as she looked at her brother who was wearing a dark blue suit. With his serious expression, the suit instantly made him look a little older. "If you are not comfortable attending a meeting then I won't force you to."

"It's alright." Qin Yuanfeng said. "I will accompany you. After all, I lost our bet."

"Speaking of our bet. I just want to inform you that they already caught Ron. He was in Malaysia trying to hide from the authorities."

"Good. That man was as horrible as Chen Shi." For some reason, Qin Yuanfeng already developed a lot of hatred against people who could betray their family just for their own self satisfaction.

"Hmmm. And Jun said that he is not planning to inform Demi about her real parents."

Qin Yuanfeng pursed his lips in response as he handed Lily a folder. "Take this."

She raised an eyebrow. "Information about the Corneels? I don't think I need this."

"Hm? What do you mean? This contains everything about them. Data about their behavior and previous actions. I created a graph— "

"What do you mean? What data?" Lily flipped the pages before she nodded, understanding flickered in her eyes.

Her dear brother had actually analyzed the Corneels previous actions and tried to create a graph that shows who is more likely to change their mind all the time and who is more likely to argue with Lily.

"You don't need it?" he asked.

"Actually, I do." Lily said. If she could analyze what someone could do, her brother could analyze the past behavior of a person through his data. Wasn't this the perfect combination? Knowledge was very important to Lily, and having this skill in the form of Qin Yuanfeng was really helpful to someone like her."Thank you. This is very helpful." She beamed.

"President, the Corneels are here." Yang Mi's voice echoed inside Lily's office.

"Did they see you?" She asked while keeping the folder close to her. This file might not be something that she could use right now, however, she was sure that she would use this file soon.

"No. Mr. Rossi is already talking to them, leading them towards the conference room."

"Good!" Lily beamed. She then shifted her gaze towards her brother. "You ready?"

He nodded in response.

"Then… let's go." Lily smiled as she walked out of her office and towards the Conference room a few floors down.
