Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 390 Sore spot

Chapter 390 Sore spot

Zhan Yahui leaned back on her chair. “He is extremely possessive and jealous. He gets immediately rattled when somebody comes too close to the woman he loves. What I am telling you to target is this part of his personality. It’s gonna come in handy a lot. Especially now…” she squinted her eyes. “When it seems that things between Zhou Ai and Gu Yating seem to have turned better for some reason.”

‘Guiying’ frowned. “That is the part I still didn’t get. Why did Zhou Ai want to leave Dream High and become so distant from Gu Yating? Is it only because of this idiot inside me getting all the exposure?”

Zhan Yahui said nothing.

That’s what perplexes me too…Until she left, I thought there was definitely something going on between them. It was actually a point of concern for me if Zhou Ai and Gu Yating got into a relationship from Guiying’s career perspective. But one day, her mannerisms suddenly changed.

And she had no clue why.

She clicked her tongue in annoyance. Zhan Yahui didn’t like to be kept in the dark about something. She felt she was missing something but until the end, she couldn’t really figure it out. In that sense, the change in Ai was an enigma to her.

“Hey?”

She snapped out of her stupor and glanced at her. “Possibly. But it doesn’t matter anymore. What matters now is that since that day the film set was set on fire and Zhou Ai met Gu Yating in the hospital, their relationship seems to have improved a lot. I don’t know what they talked about but…whatever previous misunderstanding they had between them seems to have softened up?

First she learned that Gu Yating was planning to make a company for her. That struck her harder than what she will give the credit for. Then they must have had a heartfelt conversation in the hospital which further made things better for them. This is like touching Liu Jun’s sore spot.”

‘Guiying’ asked, “You think he won’t believe Zhou Ai the way she believed him during the Fest? Will it work? You just said that Zhou Ai is resilient and calm.”

“But she has a strong sense of responsibility,” Zhan Yahui chuckled.

‘She’ then slowly added. “If you are thinking that Zhou Ai will start to like Gu Yating again, then you are mistaken. I don’t see that happening.”

Her eyes twinkled. “But it doesn’t mean that she cannot feel guilty, right? I don’t think she is understanding this herself but what Gu Yating was planning to do for her has left a huge impact in her mind. She left him and Dream High before getting to know any of Gu Yating’s plans for her. And that must be eating her from inside. I don’t know what happened between them but if Zhou Ai wrongly misunderstood him, then learning these things about him now will make her spiral into a sense of taking responsibility for her mistakes. She would want to do something – anything for him to settle the guilt inside her.”

“You are terrifying,” even ‘Guiying’ couldn’t help but shudder with the level of understanding Zhan Yahui had of the situation.

“I am not terrifying. It’s how people behave. If you understand their character even a little bit, you can gauge what they can and cannot do in certain situations,” she smiled. “The biggest difference between what you did in Shanghai and what you will be doing now lies in the past love.

You targeted Zhou Ai then, but she has no reason to feel intimidated by Han Shui. Not just because she is calm and collected but also because Han Shui didn’t seem to have much feelings for Liu Jun, especially when he can be so possessive. And also Zhou Ai and Han Shui quickly became good friends as we saw in Shanghai. It would have been impossible to achieve that if Han Shui loved Liu Jun even a little bit.

But that’s not the case with Gu Yating. Why can Liu Jun and Gu Yating not be friends like them? Because he is possessive. He doesn’t want to do anything with the man who eyed Zhou Ai and the fact that Gu Yating still loves her is why…somewhere or the other will always leave a distaste in his heart. If on top of that, he sees Zhou Ai unconsciously melting for Gu Yating, then it’s just pouring oil into the fire. You are right. Zhou Ai won’t fall for Gu Yating.”

She smiled. “But we will target her guilt coupled with Liu Jun’s insecurity. Relationships are complex, my dear. They might love and trust each other a lot, but there is always some vulnerability, especially when there is a third party involved. You just need to know how to exploit that.”

At present, ‘Guiying’ could finally see what Zhan Yahui was talking about right in front of her eyes.f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

Piling incidents on top of each other…

Slowly, steadily but surely…

‘Guiying’ didn’t care about the drama that happened with the guests. Her motive was simply to make things flow in a particular direction. Fan flames in the right way and the seeds ‘she’ had sown would slowly bear its fruit.

As she turned to step out of the villa, ‘she’ felt a hand on her shoulder.

Ugh…! Is that Chen Zixin!? I really don’t want to do anything with this cousin!

When ‘Guiying’ turned, ‘she’ was taken aback to see a rather different face than she had expected.

He is Liu Jun’s brother, right? ‘She’ narrowed her eyes.

Jin watched her with scrutiny and asked, “Cai Guiying, isn’t it?”

“Yes, that’s me.

“Who invited you to this banquet?”

‘She’ blinked. “You really are Liu Jun’s brother. He had the same question, and I have the same answer for you. Han Shui invited me to her birthday banquet.”

Jin said nothing.

“Anything else?”

He then gave a smile. “Nothing. I was just a little surprised to know that you and Shui knew each other.”

‘Guiying’ thought about Reading Point and remarked. “What can you say? People meet at unexpected places at times.”
