Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Ever since Yun Qingrong and Su Xiaofei kicked out the Chen family from their household, it's been hell for their whole family. Not only did Su Xiaofei make sure to ruin Chen Li's future by sending her to a juvenile detention center, but she also made sure that Madam Chen wouldn't be able to find another job from another wealthy family.

The lavish lifestyle they used to enjoy had been taken away from them and just as Madam Chen thought they could leech on her cousin's fortune, Yun Qingrong divorced Su Haoran and sued him for embezzlement. This effectively ruined all their hopes that they would be able to get back on their feet and sustain the lifestyle they were used to.

Three years after Chen Li was sent to the detention center, Madam Chen died from a heart attack after she was battered violently by her last employer. Meanwhile, Chen Hao dropped out from college and started to lead a dangerous life by joining a local mob in Qiying City.

It was already seven in the evening when Ye Mingyu reached the place where she knew she could find her second cousin. She had heard from the old aunty that was living next to Chen Hao's place that he was a frequent patron of this nightclub.

She hadn't seen nor talked to Chen Hao since her return and she wasn't sure if he would willingly help her, but she had no other choice but to try.

Taking one last glimpse at her reflection, Ye Mingyu made sure that her wig was in place. She even bothered to wear a pair of colored contact lenses to change the color of her eyes. She had a thick layer of makeup on her face and drew fake freckles over her nose and cheeks, just to make sure no one would be able to recognize her.

Her management had warned her specifically to avoid any confrontations or create a scene that could make the public hate her.

Hate her? Ye Mingyu scoffed inwardly. It wouldn't be that easy.

For her, men were easy to manipulate and take advantage of. She only needed to shed a few tears here and there, then act pitiful, and it was enough to evoke an overprotective streak in them. Women were a different matter, but it wasn't that hard to make fake assumptions and use them against each other.

She alighted her car and made her way to the entrance of the nightclub. She easily passed through the security and was met with a crowd and overly loud noise inside. The people were shoulder to shoulder, and they were swaying to the beat of the music.

Ye Mingyu looked around and grimaced. It would be hard for her to find Chen Hao in this place full of people. If he wasn't at the counter or the dancefloor, then he might be in one of the VIP booths she could never trespass. She pursed her lips and decided to observe first.

She ordered a drink and stared at the partying people. Ye Mingyu would have joined them if she didn't have any pressing matters on hand. She wasn't sure if Chen Hao would be able to help her in any way, but she also knew that her choices were limited at this moment.

"Well, well, well. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see you with my own eyes. What brought you to my turf, dear little cousin?" She heard a familiar voice.

Ye Mingyu turned her head and found Chen Hao next to the bartender, concocting his own drink from the vast selections of liquor behind him. He had a cocky smile on his face, and he looked expensive.

Based on his movements, she could tell that he knew what he was doing, as if he had already done this a hundred times.

"You own this place?" She blurted out in surprise, once his words sunk in her mind. Ye Mingyu hadn't expected that this little hooligan would be able to make a fortune on his own.

The man chuckled darkly and looked at her with mockery.

Ye Mingyu tried to rein her growing annoyance at her cousin. She reminded herself of the reason she came here.

"Can't believe it? How about you, then? I thought that my sister and I are no better than church mice in your eyes?"

Ye Minyu pressed her lips together and almost forgot the last conversation she had with the Chen siblings. She regretted all of it now. She shouldn't have said those words, but there was nothing she could do now. How can she not be mad at them when their whole family kept leeching on her father's resources?

"Help me. I have no one to turn to." She muttered lowly, hoping that he would be able to hear her despite the loud noise from her background.

"So, let me get it straight. You want my help. But what can you give me in return?" Chen Hao asked.

When she said nothing, he shook his head and sighed in  feigned disappointment.

"Look here, dear little cousin, you can't expect to come here and demand that I help you when you don't have anything to offer me. That's quite foolish, don't you think? No wonder you can't beat my dear little Feifei after all these years."

Ye Mingyu's eyes flashed dangerously at him. She hated being compared with Su Xiaofei, especially when she was the one being painted in a bad light.

"Now, now, don't look at me like that. You can only blame yourself for your failures. Now tell me what kind of help you want. Who knows, maybe I'll consider it if it comes with a fair price." He grinned devilishly at her.

"What do you want?" She asked.

His eyes gleamed, making Ye Mingyu shiver from the way he smiled at her.

"I only desire one person, if you can deliver her to me, then I will fulfill your request without question."
