The Villain's Wife (WN) - Chapter 557: Normal

The very next day, Lily accompanied Zhou Jingren to his office and spent most of her time reading some of the contracts that he needed to approve. Then she spent the rest of her time browsing the net and sleeping.

While she was having a wonderful day in Zhou Jingren's office, the housewives at The Peak were not feeling ecstatic at all. Some were frowning, while some had their brows knitted as they continue to talk over Lily's matter.

At first they could not believe that someone would actually declined Jiang Ruo. Why would a junior like Lily do that? She just moved into the neighborhood! How could she be this... disrespectful?

Some were very quick to point out that it was Zhou Jingren who declined and not Lily. Does this mean that Lily can't do anything to change her husband's decision? Can't she just convince her husband? Every wife should have the ability to make their husband agree to a small request like this.

Some immediately said that they will visit Lily themselves. While some asked their husbands to befriend Zhou Jingren so they could advise him not to get involve in his wife's lifestyle. After all, Zhou Jingren is young. He, just like everyone else, needed some guidance too.

At the end of the day, the venue of the party was changed. But, everyone still decided that they will send some invitation to Lily. After all, the original purpose of this tea party was to welcome her to the community.

...…

Mainland China, Zhang Mansion

Chen Shi massaged the back of her neck as she read the latest entertainment news. "Did you cut her off?" she asked the man sitting opposite her.

"Already did. Don't worry, she won't bother us anymore." Chen Luan answered.

"Good." She closed the entertainment website and started looking at the paper in front of her. "What is this? I thought my husband already approved these contracts?"

"Madam, Mr. Zhang… said that these films are not worth it." Chen Luan answered. He had been working with Chen Shi for years and this… this was the first time that her husband declined something that she suggested. He wondered what could be the problem. Was it possible that Mr. Zhang was simply not in the mood?

"But… those films are all gems! How could he…" Chen Shi furrowed her brows and dialed her husband's number. Since last week, her husband had been very busy with the company that he is barely staying at home. She wondered if her husband only declined because he was too stressed out. "You know what?" she canceled the call. "I will go and see him in his office." He rose from his seat and walked towards her room to change.

Unbeknownst to Chen Shi, Zhou Jingren was already attacking her silently by targeting her husband.

"So… you made a younger woman seduced her husband?" Lily widened her eyes at Zhou Jingren. When Zhou Jingren nodded, Lily's mouth dropped. She stared at him in disbelief. "You didn't tell me!"

"You didn't ask." He shrugged, his eyes were glued at the documents on his table.

Lily nodded and pursed her lips. That is a valid argument. She actually didn't ask him if he is doing something. She stared at his side profile. Chen Shi had a pretty good reputation in China. Her records are squeaky clean, and she is very smart.

Aside from the medical records they have in her first marriage, Lily was not able to find anything that could help them against the woman. In fact, this was one of the reasons why Lily opted to wait for Chen Shi to attack her first before she does something.

Who would have thought that Zhou Jingren is already doing his magic behind their backs? Now that Lily thought about it, Zhou Jingren's plan on attacking her husband was perfect. Tony Zhang is a well-known businessman in the entertainment industry.

He is a producer and the owner of Zhang Entertainment that is the mother company of Zhang Records. He is very wealthy and influential in the industry. With this kind of man in Chen Shi's back, it would be hard for them to ruin the woman.

Taking him away would only weaken Chen Shi's defense. Isn't that genius idea? Lily smiled at her own thoughts.

"In his industry, having a mistress is pretty normal." Zhou Jingren said. "Some younger actress and actors would agree to sleep with producers and directors to get a good role. Some pretty well-known actresses started this way. Everyone knows this… but not many people talk about it."

"This is why I told you I am not interested in this industry." She said. "Mistress, huh. So Chen Shi must know about this and yet… she just let her husband sleep around with younger women?" she turned silent as she propped her chin into her palm. "This Anthony 'Tony' Zhang have children right? I mean… he was married before he met Chen Shi but divorced his previous wife?"

"Hmmm… Bei Tian is already talking to his ex-wife. So far… she won't openly admit that her husband cheated on her with Chen Shi. I bet it was part of the divorce settlement."

"Then that will be hard to prove. Chen Shi is a pretty meticulous schemer. Even the number that Qiao Qiao gave that was supposed to be Chen Luan's number is a burner phone. We can't even prove that Chen Shi really talked to her in person." Lily said. "A smart and silent schemer who likes to use puppets."

Chen Shi is already in her fifties. If she is not smart, she would not have survived this long while blackmailing and scheming people. The only reason why she made a mistake in her first marriage was that she was pretty young back then. It was not because of her lack of knowledge but her lack of experience.

They are actually lucky that Old Man Lee had these records in this safe. Or they won't really have anything against that Chen Shi. "Hey… I am wondering… Thomas said he heard this when Ron was talking to Chen Shi, right?" Zhou Jingren lifted his chin to look at her. Seeing him nod, Lily continued, "Do you think��� he didn't tell us everything?"

"I do."

Lily narrowed her eyes. She can't wait to talk to that Thomas Lee again.
