Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 322 The welcome back get-together



Chapter 322 The welcome back get-together

The small get-together for Zixin get-together was held in one of the luxurious hotels owned by the Han Corps, which was dominating the hospitality industry.

"Cheers!"

With Zixin as the focus of the whole party, everybody raised a toast for Zixin's recovery. There were unsolved questions about his accident but today all the worries were left behind only to cherish his health and safety.

Jian smirked. "To Zixin who came back to us safe and sound. Well, he had to or else I would have killed him myself."

Leina hit his elbow. "No talking about killing or violence today."

"Yes, Mam," Jian didn't argue.

"Jian is a such a slave," Nian snorted. "For that matter..." he waved his hand at Xing Bi like a dog furiously wagging his tail. "I am my Xing Bi's slave too!"

She gave him a smile. "Since you are my slave, how about I order you not to talk to me for this whole evening?"

"..."

"So cruel, Xing Bi," he cried. "What is crueler is that you are sitting opposite me with Ai! Why? You should sit beside your future husband!"

Xing Bi protectively pulled Ai towards her. "It's so that you and your brother don't target my Ai! You have done a lot of questionable things with her and no way do I want you to use her to butter me tonight! So stay where you are."

Leina eyed Jian. "How can I forget that Trial of Judgment where you so passionately confessed to Zhou Ai?"

Jian rapidly gulped down his drink, not meeting her eye.

Yubi laughed. "Hahaha. Poor Bro Nian. We finally meet you by the way!" She said to Xing Bi, "You are the one who had pulled him like a Prince Charming away from us, right?"

Soo Zenya leaned with her eyes sparkled. "That was so cool."

Chyou was speechless. "Did that really happen? Our goofy Nian was taken away like a princess? Hahaha! Ah, I so wish I had been there to watch this!"

That was another shock that Xing Bi received tonight. The ones who she took as bullying Nian at banquet night when she breaking in actually turned out to be his cousins and friends who were just teasing him.

Xing Bi angrily laughed. "But you told me that they treat you like garbage. I felt bad for you. Liu Nian, you are not even a little bit afraid of lying, are you!?"

Soo Yijun was speechless. "That's so low, Bro Nian."

Nian wiped his forehead. "You were definitely all making fun of me!"

"Not like you portrayed us to her!"

Nuo sighed. "Just how many times have you dug your grave, Bro?"

Xing Bi sneered. "That comes to the part where I should have second thoughts about the date we were going to have."

"Ooooo~~"

Nian choked. "What? Nooo! I earned that date from your after so many trials and tribulations!"

"What trials and tribulations? The only things that I remember are you lying to me again and again and stalking me all the way to Shanghai! I called that harassment, not your trials, you idiot!" She threw a pillow at him.

"Yes, reject this date. He needs to suffer more," Jun said in disdain while also adding food into Ai's plate.

"You are putting too much," she pursed her lips.

"Just eat."

On the other side, Yunru pouted and brought another plate for Zixin. "You are eating so less, Bro."

Zixin smiled. "I have already eaten so much."

"Nothing is so much when it comes to food," he slightly blushed as he looked at Huan, who he had also invited tonight. "R-right, Huan?"

She nodded. "He should eat more to build his energy."

He beamed. "Yes! That's what I was saying. Oops, hehe I forgot to introduce her. Bro, she is Shi Huan. We met in Shanghai. She is-"

"Your girlfriend?" He innocently asked, making Yunru cough hard.

"..."

"What? Our doggo Yunru has a girlfriend now?"

"The hell you didn't tell us!"

"When did this happen? Tell us all the details!"

"N-N-No! She is just a friend..."

They eyed him suspiciously, clearly not believing him.

Nian sneered. "Will you grab just a friend's chest in public?"

Yubi gasped. "You...Yunru, you pervert!"

Siying coughed. "You took quite a leap there, buddy."

Yunru bit his lip. "That was an accident! Somebody pushed me, and I stumbled into her... i had no other intentions!"

Siying laughed. "Alright, alright. Of course, we believe you." His gaze fell on his sister and he asked, "Shui, you alright? You look troubled."

"Yes," she quickly said, though she wasn't okay because Jin was sitting right opposite her, who was clearly looking at everywhere but not her.

Nian hopped on his feet. "Time to celebrate with some dessert made by yours truly!"

A piece of delicious chocolate cake was put on each plate and kept on the table.

"Dig in and let me bask into your praises~"

Shui stretched her hand and pulled one plate when she saw Jin pulling the same plate towards him. She froze and glanced at him, whose expression looked darker and annoyed.

"I will take another-"

Instead, Jin let go of the plate and picked another one.

She stiffened, dazedly holding the plate. She felt as if he detested even the things she held that he rather chose something else.

Nuo tapped on her shoulder. "Shui? Take your plate or somebody else will gobble it."

"Y-Yes..." she pressed her lips and said, "I will be back in a minute," She quickly left.

The scene between Shui and Jin happened so quickly that nobody really noticed the oddity except Jun and Ai. Ai had observed her lips slightly trembling too.

"I will talk to Shui."

Jun quietly nodded. He looked at Jin, who didn't seem bothered by Shui leaving at all. He thought for a moment and pulled out his phone.

Jin looked at his phone with a message notification from Jun. He narrowed his eyes as he read it.

'Can we talk?'
