The Villain's Wife Chapter 402 Passive-Aggressive

The Villain's Wife 402 Pa.s.sive-Aggressive

"I mind." It was Zhuo Jingren. His face stern, staring straight at Lin Yu Yan. "Since you cannot make arrangements on the VIP table, then please add an extra seat on her non-VIP table. I will sit with my wife. I'm sure that is not a problem, right?"

"Jingren... this..." Lin Yu Yan's face lost its color as she bit her lips, she looked at Lily, who was surprisingly just smiling at her. Was she mocking her current state? "I'm afraid I cannot do that. Everything had been arranged beforehand. It was just a three-hour event anyway. It would not be that bad,.?" Seeing the distaste in Zhuo Jingren's face, Lin Yu Yan's eyes started to redden. It was lucky that no one was following Zhuo Jingren and Lily at this moment. Or she could not imagine the amount of embarra.s.sment that she will get.

"I see." Zhuo Jingren nodded before he held Lily's hand and eyed her cream dress. "Let's go?" The look of surprise on Lily's face was apparent as she eyed her husband, wondering why he was throwing a tantrum over some seats.

"Where?" Lily asked.

"Have dinner somewhere," he answered before he turned his back.

"Jingren! What are you doing?" Lin Yu Yan's widened her eyes as she held Zhuo Jingren's arms. "Where are you going?"

"A place where I can sit with my wife," he answered before pulling Lily. However, Lily didn't budge. She eyed the couple of people who just arrived and was walking their way.

"It's okay, husband." Lily laughed. "This is not a big deal. This is not the time to be like this. After all... you have no right to say anything about this matter." Her words only made Lin Yu Yan widened her eyes, even more, it almost popped out of their sockets. "Come on Jingren, don't act too ent.i.tled... You don't have the right to demand at all, isn't that right, Miss Lin?"

"That- That is not what I was trying to say." Lin Yu Yan panicked. Lily's pa.s.sive-aggressive words totally made her speechless. All she wanted was to sit beside Zhuo Jingren and shared the spotlight with him. She only wanted to make Lily realized that Lin Yu Yan and Zhuo Jingren were better off with each other. Moreover, she made sure that Lily will have to sit next to Qi Xia and his parents to give them time to talk and know each other. Lin Yu Yan felt that this was not being unfair at all, as Lily would also have the chance at a new relations.h.i.+p with Qi Xia. "I was only saying that-"

"No need to explain Miss Lin. We perfectly understood your point. This was not a big deal at all. After all, Zhuo Jingren was not really used to attending events like this... and well... he is only giving money to the orphanage and had been raising funds for the kids. He was not physically presence so... he does not have the right to demand or make some... impromptu changes." Lin Yu Yan stared in horror at Lily's face. She had never met anyone who talked like Lily so she doesn't have any idea how to handle her at all. Should she explain? Apologize and give in? What was she supposed to say?

Agreeing on Lily's words would only mean that she thought Zhuo Jingren was really not someone special, and he does not have the right to make any request or last-minute changes at all. Meanwhile, disagreeing would mean that Zhuo Jingren can actually make the changes and that Lin Yu Yan was just intentionally targeting them. This would make Zhuo Jingren hate her even more.

"I... my point is..." Lin Yu Yan did not continue her words as she looked at the dark look on Zhuo Jingren's face. Then she swallowed her saliva and made her mind. "I will arrange for Miss Lily to be transferred to our table," Lin Yu Yan said before turning at the woman behind her.

After a few seconds, she then turned towards Lily and Zhuo Jingren and smiled as she forced back the tears in her eyes, "Alright... We have a VIP guest who could not make it tonight. We got lucky!" Lin Yu Yan exclaimed before she instructed for the usherette to guide Lily and Zhuo Jingren to their table.

The few minutes after that were uneventful as the party started. Surprisingly though, Lin Yu Yan was not on the VIP table. At first, none were alarmed or even worried that she was not there. However, she needed to have some speeches and when they still didn't see her after half an hour, some staff instantly tried to contact her. To no avail.

"She did this on purpose," Bei Tian said as he enjoyed his c.o.c.ktail. "She probably wanted Zhuo Jingren to find her or something." His voice was low, but it was enough for Lily and Zhuo Jingren to hear. Seeing the look on both Lily and Zhuo Jingren's faces, Bei Tian added. "She knew that this orphanage is important to Zhuo Jingren, and she is trying to ruin the event by using this as leverage. Stupidity at its finest!"

Lily nodded. "Then go and make the speech. Ask the staff that you will replace her for the whole event. Should not be a big deal." she shrugged. As expected, Lin Yu Yan chose this event to throw a tantrum. Too low, Lily thought inwardly as she thought of how Zhuo Jingren told her after the encounter at the entrance that he only wanted Lily to have a little fun so he acted a little over the top with Lin Yu Yan earlier. He always knew that the woman liked him since they were children, so he had told her that there is no way they can be together countless of time in the past.

How could Lin Yu Yan not give up? Zhuo Jingren already knew about the sitting arrangement from Secretary Go and he already knew what Lin Yu Yan's plan was. How could he miss this the fact that Lin Yu Yan was trying to get Lily to interact with Qi Xia? She even included the whole family in the table!

While Zhuo Jingren knew that what he did was petty. He also knew that he would do everything- all the time for Lily. Even if that means being petty and acting as a child in front of everyone.
