บท 9: Manipulative bitch

"Divorce?" He enunciated the word as he glanced at her, his piercing stare could make a person's heart turn cold.

"What? Do you love me that much that you can't bear to part ways with me?" She batted her eyelashes at him but it did not look like acting coy at all.

If it was her previous looks, any man would have been turned on in an instant but unfortunately, right now, she looked like an enormous rice ball.

Her cheeks were bulging to the point that her eyes look extremely small.

The man did not speak anything but there was raging hostility in his eyes, his terrifying aura was enough to prove how much he loathed the girl in front of him.

Steward Gu was on the verge of begging her to stop provoking him.

Yu Mei smiled, a cold light flashed through her eyes. Was he trying to scare her? Unfortunately, she was not Yu Mei Zhen.

"Mr. J..cough..cough...Young Master, you know the reason behind the marriage very well," she sighed in relief inwardly, she almost blurted out his real name, which Yu Mei Zhen was not aware of. It would have been a blunder.

Calling him Master would make her seem like his servant and it was degrading for her. She would never call someone her master.

Since their marital relationship was not that amicable, she could not call him 'hubby' or 'darling'.

So, she opted for 'Young Master', it was polite and distant and it did not make her look like his mistress or servant.

She continued, "So, as long as your mother wants, we can pretend to be married while you should try to change her mind about our marriage."

The man looked into her eyes, they seemed to be shining like the brightest stars, there was a different kind of clarity in them which he had never noticed before.

"How so?" The man asked.

"You must be muddleheaded to not understand the meaning when I explained everything so clearly."

Muddleheaded? Is Miss Yu taking drugs? If not, how did she dare to commit a blasphemy as using such words for Master?

The temperature in the room dropped making the servants shiver, "Get lost," The man said. Steward Gu and the rest of the servants immediately fled away, giving the 'couple' some private space.

Jun Zixuan glanced at her, his eyes dangerously narrowed, hatred burning within them.

Yu Mei sighed. Anyone would hate a girl who would manipulate his mother, do self-harm tricks to get his attention, and would plan and plot to cling onto him for more time.

The previous Yu Mei Zhen wanted this man all for herself, she did not want him to divorce her. When they got married, she did not know about his reasons for marrying her.

But later she got to know that, it was his mother for whom he agreed to marry her without any qualms. She met his mother only once in the last two years yet she manipulated the lady into thinking that she was not treated well.

It led to many disturbances between Jun Zixuan and his mother. As if it was not enough, she would attempt to slit her wrist to get close to him.

After staying at the mansion which was ten times larger than Yu's household, she got to know that her husband was richer than them.

She performed many self-harming acts, like starving herself, drinking poison to get him to help Yu's Family in investments and on a financial basis. She still wanted to get close to her family.

The man did not live with her but she knew Steward Gu updated him about her activities.

But Jun Zixuan was not the kind of man who would be easily threatened. So, she used up her emotional act and manipulated his mother on a phone call who happened to be the best friend of her late biological mother, Li Na.

Since he wanted to know how could he convince his mother, the gears in her mind worked up as she sat there silently, in deep thought.

This led to the mother-son relationship drifting further apart while Jun Zixuan's hate for her started reaching its limit.

On the other hand, the family she was trying to get close to the thought that she has become an old man's mistress. They were disgusted by her yet they did not want to let the golden opportunity go.

So, they tried everything to get more benefits from her.

She sighed. No matter how surreal it sounded, she was transmigrated. Then, why was she provided such a body where the previous owner has left everything in a mess before dying?

"Convince your mother about how much of a manipulative bitch I am," She said calmly, there was not a single frown on her large round face, which was filled with acne spots and pimples.
