Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

186 Announcing breakup



Liu villa.

The atmosphere in the Liu villa was strangely tense and brooding. Just as Jun had asked, Nana called the Han family over. In the Han family, only Shui knew what was going on and what Jun had to say.

Xinyi smiled as she stood beside Nana, “Why do you look so distressed?”

Nana awkwardly smiled. “Nothing…”

She couldn’t say that Jun’s behavior over the call had made her worried. He had something important to say and deep down she felt that it wasn’t good news.

Nuo and Siying were on the other side as he asked, “Do you know anything about what Bro Jun has to say?”

Nuo shook her head. “No idea. He just told everybody to gather.”

Siying felt it odd. He glanced at his sister, who was fidgeting for some reason. He observed her getting anxious and jittery ever since they left home, and now she felt even more shaky as if something inevitable was approaching.

Zhiyuan was by his daughter’s side, who held Shui’s hand and smiled. “Why are you nervous, dear?”

She tried to smile but couldn’t. “I-I am fine, Dad.”

He stared at her with squinted eyes. “Doesn’t feel like that to me.”

“No, really. I am okay.”

Zhiyuan sighed. “If you say so. Do you know why that brat has called us today?”

She stiffened.

“…I do. But it’s better if he says it.”

On the other hand, Jian and Nian were too uneasy with the tension.

“Why is everybody acting like somebody has died?” Jian questioned.

Nian was in his own tragic mode. “Because somebody has. Me. Me! I am dead. I am dead in my Xing Bi’s eyes. I am dead for her. She beat me up so badly. She will never look at me again. That Zhou Ai. She turned out to be someone who Xing Bi treated as her own sister. I screwed up. I screwed up!” He sobbed.

Jian sneered in disdain. “You are pathetic, Nian. You had one chance to make it right, but you lost it too. Now be single for the rest of your life.”

He then ignored his twin brother and noticed Jin looking expressionless. “Why are you acting the same way as all the others? You are so unusually quiet!” He smacked him on the back of his head.

Jin glanced at his brother once and then retracted his gaze without much emotion. “Nothing really. I just think something interesting is about to happen.”

“People are looking so tense here. What can be interesting?”

He smiled. “We will only know once Bro Jun comes here, right?”

Grandma Liu, who was in her wheelchair beside Liu Hai and Liu Chunhua, was the only one in a hopeful mood. “Maybe Jun is coming here to talk about his and Shui’s engagement!”

Zhiyuan scowled at that.

“At that time, Jun didn’t have the ring with him, but this time he must be bringing it with him. That’s why he asked the Han family to come over too,” she clapped her hands once in delight.

Jinhai narrowed his eyes and kept quiet.

A while later, Jun finally arrived amidst everybody’s impatient waiting.

“Jun!” Nana brightened and hugged him. “You are here.”

He stared at her and nodded. His eyes cast a glance at everybody once. It settled on Shui for just a second who seemed to have prepared herself.

He came forward and smiled at Xinyi. “Thanks for coming, Aunt.”

Xinyi chuckled. “Of course we will.”

Jun nodded at Siying and Zhiyuan too.

He then came forward and said, “I wanted everybody here because I want to say something important to all of you. It’s something that you should have all known two months ago itself. But it kept delaying for some reason or the other. It’s really a high time now that you know this.”

Everybody frowned in confusion.

What was so important that made Jun so serious about it?

Liu Chunhua warmly smiled. “Go ahead, dear. We are listening.”

Jun took a silent breath. “Shui and I have broken up.”

The silence rang so deep that nobody could wrap their heads around it. The statement dropped like a big bomb where nobody could brace themselves from the impact.

“Broke up…?” Nana asked in disbelief. “What are you talking about?”

Xinyi and Zhiyuan exchanged glances that expressed how shocked they were like everybody else. He swiftly sprung up on his feet and faced Jun with a grave countenance. “What do you mean?” He dangerously narrowed his eyes.

Shui quickly pulled him back and said, “Dad.”

He glanced at her and asked, “What is he saying?”

Shui let out a breath and nodded. “We broke up around December.”

“What!?”

Xinyi was stupefied. “Shui! You and Jun broke up? In December? I-I don’t get it. Are you two serious or having fun with the adults here?”

Jun said, “No, Aunt. This is absolutely serious. Shui and I have broken up.”

Nuo rushed to his side, her face uptight. “But why? You and Shui…You have been together since childhood. You were in such a happy relationship. Then how did this happen?”

Siying confronted his sister as well. “Shui, something like this happened so long ago, and you didn’t say something so important? Why? And weren’t you two so happy?”

Liu Hai, who always seemed jolly and hyper excited, gazed at his grandson, his eyes deadly serious and in no mood to joke around. “What is happening, Jun?”

Jun faced his gaze straight on and said, “I realized that Shui and I are not compatible with each other. It was better we ended our relationship sooner than later.”

“Not compatible? Where did this come from?”

Jun tightened his fingers in his palm. “We are not meant for each other.”

“That’s even more bizarre,” His uncle Jing pointed out. “You two have been best friends since childhood. You have known each other for the longest. You two always wanted to be together. Then how are you not meant for each other?”
