Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 269 Shanghai Fest Arc (23) : Ambiguous Feelings

Jun's face twisted with a precarious emotion lurking in his eyes. "Excuse me?" His voice sounded so lethal and icy that the woman shuddered and subconsciously took a step back. "Are you implying that I am two-timing with my girlfriend? Be careful before you answer yes to that question because offending me is not a choice you can afford to make."

She broke into a cold sweat. "I was just saying. H-How can you threaten me like that?"

"Yeah, she is an elder. That's so rude of him to do that," one whispered.

"Maybe he is really guilty. That's why he wants to shut her mouth..."

"So scary."

"Seriously, these rich young masters..."

Ai glanced at everybody and narrowed her eyes. "Don't talk about Jun like that. I also saw what everybody saw, and I know that there is some misunderstanding behind it. Please refrain from judging the situation too quickly to suit your convenience."

Jun's gaze softened seeing her protect him so fiercely.

Yunru glared at everybody. "That's right. Don't talk about Bro Jun like that! How dare you all question his loyalty for sister-in-law?"

Shui frowned. "Yes. It was a coincidence that we got stuck inside the elevator. As for what you saw, he stumbled upon me when the elevator suddenly moved with a jerk. There is no need to give such a deep thought about it."

There was a large TV screen mounted on a wall which lit up with video footage. Everybody's attention went towards where they saw Jun and Shui sitting beside each other in the elevator.

Jun's gaze darkened.

The hell...

Shui was taken aback as well. She looked at Jun in confusion.

Why is this video suddenly playing?

There was no audio coming from the video, so everybody could only see their actions and expressions. Which was suspicious for many people.

Jun and Shui were quiet at first, but then they eventually started talking and laughing together. Even Yunru and Nian were quite surprised to see them opening up comfortably after all that had passed between them. But at one point, Shui started to cry and Jun was seen coming closer to her and patting her head.

To anybody else, it would look like the old love between them was getting rekindled.

Shui watched the video, dumbfounded.

What the hell!? The video without the audio is giving a totally different meaning!

People started to whisper again.

"Hah. Did you look at Han Shui and how she was crying?"

"It looks like she regrets the breakup and now wants Liu Jun back."

"Maybe she is jealous of Zhou Ai and wants to act pitiful to get him back."

"But even so, how shameless Liu Jun is. She just shed a few tears, and he already melted for her. I think he still has feelings for her."

"Just look how he is looking at her so softly. If he really loves Zhou Ai, then would he waver towards Han Shui?"

Shui couldn't believe that the crowd was labeling her as a white lotus.

The temperature took a steep drop, and Jun's eyes turned frighteningly cold. "Who the hell played this video!? Who fucking dare!? Come in front of me!" He roared. "Where is the staff!? If you want to play a video then why not play it fully so that everybody can HEAR what we talked too?"

He angrily laughed. "But no. You wouldn't do that because whoever did this knows that there is nothing scandalous we talked or acted. That's why you are only showing the picture to make it look all ambiguous!"

Through the crowd, Cai Lingyun came forward and gritted his teeth as he glared at Jun. "It's your feelings that are ambiguous, not the video, Liu Jun. You still want to defend yourself now that you are caught?"

Nian and Yunru frowned.

This man again...

Ai narrowed her eyes as well.

Shui blinked.

Who is he to barge in and talk like that!?

Jun stared at him with his murderous gaze. "So you are the one who played this video," he laughed. "I see. I get it now."

Cai Lingyun ignored him and worriedly looked at Ai. "Ai, do you still want to be with him? Just look how they were acting when left all alone!"

Jun stiffened and didn't know why his heart felt uneasy.

Shui furiously exclaimed. "Shut up! Who are you and are you out of your mind!? Sure, Jun and I have broken up. But does that mean that we cannot even talk or meet as friends anymore?"

He sneered. "From the video, it doesn't really seem that you talked as just friends. And cut the crap! Liu Jun was crazy and obsessed with you. I heard your marriage was all set from your childhood days. A man like him would forget about you and treat you just as his friend? Such a deep love and relationship...Hah! I should ask, are you out of your mind?"

Yunru spat on anger. "You are stepping out of your line!"

Jun glanced at Ai, his heart thudding with trepidation. He held her shoulders and said, "Ai. There is nothing that happened that will make you doubt my love for you. We got stuck and then we were really just talking."

"Jun..." Ai stepped towards him and pursed her lips with disappointment.

Cai Lingyun felt more confident that Ai must have definitely lost trust in Jun. Who wouldn't after seeing her boyfriend getting cozy with his ex-girlfriend?

Watching that expression form on her face made him seem paler than before. "Ai, really I-"

"Do you really think that you have to explain yourself to me?" She questioned him. "Did you think I would misunderstand you?" She looked downcast.

"N-No!"

"Then why are you panicking like that?"

He didn't know. He knew Ai trusted him, but it was hard not thinking whether she would feel hurt. If it was some other woman, Jun wouldn't have felt so unsure. But of all people, it was Shui who Ai saw him in a compromising position with.

"I just..." he curled his fingers into a fist. "Be-because it was Shui. I just..."

"So what?" Ai pinched his cheek hard as if she wanted to punish him. "Jun, you confessed your past relationship with Han Shui to my parents and bowed in front of them when you asked to place their trust in you. I don't think I or anybody else will ever question your feelings for me after seeing that. And those who do..." she narrowed her eyes at Cai Lingyun and the entire crowd, "are ones who are ignorant and brainless who just want to enjoy throwing mud at your face."
