Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Jin happily talked to his sister and brother-in-law but in the depths of his heart, it hammered down with an uneasiness. But it settled down when he didn't see Shui anywhere.

Jin took Muyang in his arms and grinned. "I finally got to hold my nephew."

Little Muyang laughed.

The Summit soon started with many important discussions and announcements taking place, one of which was the announcement of Jin's position as the next CEO.

Jinhai took the center stage and talked about Jin, who first trained with him and then went to Paris to learn from his maternal grandfather. He achieved great things in Paris and he was positive that he will see the same confidence here. The takeover would soon be announced.

Jinhai kept it simple and brief, just as he was. Jin looked at everybody and said, "I am looking forward to working with everybody."

The Liu family stepped away amidst everybody's claps and cheers and as soon as they got down, Jin became the center of attention. Many congratulated him and many smoothly attempted to make their way to work with the Liu Corps.

One of which was Kang Nanyou, Kang Yuze's father. "Congratulations, Liu Jin."

"Thank you."

Jin already recognized him and remembered his son Kang Yuze, who he met during his Guangzhou trip with Shui.

"I believe you will make your father's name very proud. It's finally time to hand the reins over to the next generation and I just handed it over last year."

Jin asked, "Kang Yuze?"

He nodded.

"I see. Your business processes raw materials for clothing if I am not wrong."

"Correct. Your Uncle, Mr. Liu Jing is one of our customers. Thanks to his fashion designing career, our name got widespread for its finesse and quality very quickly," he smiled.

Jin knew that was a part of buttering up to let Jing continue being one of his primary customers. He didn't mind as long as his Uncle was satisfied.

"And how are things with the Ren family? They work exclusively on designing, right? So…sort of my Uncle's rivals," Jin said with a tinge of smile.

Kang Nanyou shook his head. "Things are going a little slow there."

"Why?"

He looked surprised. "Oh you aren't aware of it? The Ren family's eldest daughter, Ren Alix unfortunately got into an accident some four months back. She only recently regained consciousness from her coma."

Jin slightly widened his eyes. He clearly remembered the woman who had caused a big scene in Guangzhou and threw water on Shui because she suspected that Kang Yuze liked her.

Kang Nanyou sighed. "But even before the accident, things have been slow. Alix…how can I say, keeps chasing after Yuze when he has already clearly expressed his disinterest in her. But Alix refused to give up and continued to cause many problems for us over the years.

She had almost lost it to the point of mental instability. It's only that she has good and respectable parents that we still work with them. They are equally tired of her. It's Alix's sister who is somehow handling the design business since Alix focuses on nothing but Yuze."

"I see."

"Even after all this, my daughter remains kind to her."

"Kang Xiao."

He remembered her too from the trip's time.

"Yes. She has a very kind heart and keeps Alix company instead of abandoning her. She doesn't have any friends, so Xiao tries to fill that gap," Kang Nanyou helplessly sighed. "Naturally, Yuze and I are not in much favor. We get tense if Alix uses her friendship to manipulate her and get Yuze's affection through her."

Lots of family drama going on here it seems, Jin thought to himself.

"And to not let Alix feel lonely, Xiao pulled Miss. Han into their group too."

Jin froze.

"...Who?"

"Miss. Han Shui. Ah, she is such a wonderful person. I heard what Alix did to her on the business trip years ago. Yuze told me. So, I was surprised to learn that she agreed."

Jin couldn't make the heads or tails of it either.

Shui became Ren Alix's friend? Even after all that happened?

Why…?

"Han Shui has quite made a name for herself in the art industry. Xiao is interested in it so she asked her to teach her art and then she pulled in Alix too so that she could at least invest her time in learning something meaningful."

Art…

Jin's gaze warmed up.

Shui always liked to draw just like Aunt Xinyi. She was always an amazing artist, his chest filled with pride.

He was aware that Shui would pursue a career in the art industry with the interest she held in it. There were some art exhibitions held in which Shui had participated and despite Jin's strong desire to see them, he refrained himself. He was afraid of his own vulnerable heart falling into love all over again.

Kang Nanyou's voice broke his daze.

"I am not really so concerned about Han Shui's friendship with Alix but I am glad that Xiao became friends with her. Through her, Yuze and Han Shui have become quite close, haha. You know what I mean, right?"

Jin stared at him unblinkingly. "Close…"

He coughed. "Well, it's nothing really set in stone yet, but since Xiao introduced Han Shui, Yuze and her became good friends too and gradually…got closer. I can very well see my son's interest in her and fortunately, it seems like Han Shui might hold the same interest towards him too."

Jin felt like he was dropped straight into the depths of an ocean.

Calm down, calm down, calm down…

This was supposed to happen one day or the other, right?

Shui and me are impossible…so…so…it is natural that she finds another man sooner or later. So calm down.

Yes, it's okay. Everything is okay. So calm down.

Kang Nanyou asked, "Is everything okay, Liu Jin?"

"Yes…"

"Ah that's good. You seem lost for a moment there. Well, as I was saying about them - oh wait! They are supposed to be here already," he frowned.

He stiffened. "Here?"

Kang Nanyou looked around and then brightened as his gaze fell at the Summit's entrance. "Ah, here they are!"
