Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 425 Bet

Chyou couldn't believe her manager. "I cannot be so shallow to think about my reputation, Yimu!"

"And why not!? You have come this far on your own merits. You want to ruin your career you built by your own hard work for someone who is into drugs? Where you don't even know if this relationship will last at all? Call me shallow all you want, but I am your manager. It's my job to protect you and your career damn it!"

The faceoff between Chyou and Ding Yimu lasted for a minute when Jun narrowed his eyes. "I see. So you want to give him a chance, right?"

Chyou pursed her lips. "Yes. Jun, he confessed to me in front of everyone. By now, everybody knows about us. He won't do anything to jeopardize our relationship. Sometimes, people go through bad phases in their life, but it doesn't mean that we should completely shut them out for just one mistake. I really want to be there for him."

Jun understood that there would be no further point in this. She was being like him, who was once stubborn in love and wanted to see through the end no matter what.

The only thing that opened his eyes was reality.

And the only thing that would help Chyou was to see reality with her own eyes.

"Then let's do this. If you believe in Cheng Yin's sincerity so much, then let's test it. You said he won't touch drugs again, right? Then I will show you what kind of a liar he is. If he touches or consumes drugs even just once, then promise me that you will break up with him. Because it is clear. If he cannot hold onto his promise even once, the future is already bleak."

Chyou firmly nodded. "I agree. I trust Yin, and I know he won't let me down. If this is how you want to prove his deceit, then it's also a way for me to prove to you and everybody that Yin would never stray."

She thought that this was for the best.

By now, Mom, Dad, Xiang - everybody would have seen the news. If they, especially Dad, came to know about Yin's past, he might never allow our relationship. Then the only thing that could change his mind would be this test.

Jun smiled. "Fine. Three months. I know that rehabilitation from drug addiction is a long process. It's not a quick recovery. But if he could abstain from drugs for three months and control his withdrawal symptoms, then we can think of giving him a chance. Let's bet on this man you trust so much."

Silence.

She agreed. "Okay."

Ding Yimu held her forehead. "Ahhh this is so complicated. Look, I really want to support you, Chyou. But I am with Liu Jun in this. If there is even one sign that shows this relationship not working out, then I want you to quit. You are a gem in this industry, Chyou. I don't want you to destroy your hard-earned career because of this. Should I let Kang Qigang know this? He will flip out so badly…"

Jun snorted. "I don't care if his manager knows or not. If Cheng Yin takes one wrong step, then nobody can save him."

He glanced at Chyou and sighed. "Don't be mad at me, okay? I believe Uncle Xiaosi would do the same thing. We care about you."

He gripped his inside pocket as his gaze grew dark.

Chyou I wish…I wish I could tell you just how shitty Cheng Yin is. It's not just drugs. He never respected you and fucking cheated on you. You lost your child because of him…

A man like him deserves to be in hell, not with you.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "I will get going. See you later."𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

Cheng Yin hurried into his dressing room, exhaling hard. He stood in front of the mirror, his chest heaving up and down.

That Liu Jun…can he just not take a rest!? Why does he have to interfere

First that Gu Yating and now Liu Jun!

He shut his eyes, thinking back to how he had heard everything. The whole conversation between Jun, Ding Yimu and Chyou.

The bet…I will win it Liu Jun, he chuckled. Three months, right? I just have to be careful for three months after which you will shut your damn mouth.

If I am clean for three months, then no way would Chyou tolerate your nonsense anymore… f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

As he took a breath and coming to a decision of what he had to do, he slowly opened his eyes.

But he got the scare of his life, and he jumped up in fear as he saw Jun standing right behind him.

"Y-you!" He turned and saw his eyes watching him like a hawk. He felt as if he got a heart attack.

The hell…I didn't even hear a sound. How did he come inside without me noticing anything!

"How did you enter without my permission-"

Cheng Yin suddenly coughed hard as Jun grabbed him by his neck and slammed him against the wall.

"I know you heard everything, fucker. I saw you. And now you must be rejoicing that you have to hold on for just three months to get a clear pass. But listen to me very carefully, bastard. It's not just drugs I am testing you on. If you dare hurt Chyou in anyway or touch even a single strand of her hair, you are fucking dead," his chilly dark brown eyes seeped right into Cheng Yin's heart.

Cheng Yin choked and was unable to breathe. He resisted but Jun was simply too strong for him to shake him off.

What the hell is with his strength…

"Just one mistake, Cheng Yin, and I will squash you like a bug."

His quiet voice coupled with his icy threat rang in the air like a dreadful foreboding.

"So be careful, Cheng Yin. I am watching you every step of the way."
