Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Ren Luoyang wondered if it was truly fine for Alix to get so close to the Liu family. They were one of the giant families in China and compared to them, the Ren family surely was at a lower place.

"Are you sure you want to keep working from there?" He cleared his throat.

""Why not? Liu Jin doesn't mind."

Ren Cuifen said, "I think your father just wants you to be careful. They are a very huge family from every perspective so…"

"You are talking about their status?"

They coughed.

Alix glanced away for a moment and recalled the number of times she visited the Liu villa. She looked back at them.

"Yeaahhhhh, they aren't the type to get offended and all. The oldest person in that family fights over cookies."

They were taken aback. "Really?"

"His second son either wants to romance his husband or find incriminating stuff to bully his nephews."

"..."

"The said nephews aren't so innocent either, especially a certain pair of twins. So you don't have to worry about them getting offended or treating me any differently because of status. They literally care more about food than anything else."

Their brows twitched.

Mui muttered a scoff under a breath.

Ren Luoyang said, "Well if you say so. If you feel more comfortable working from the Liu Corps office, then we won't stop you. We just don't want you getting into any trouble."

Alix alternated her gaze between them and slightly clenched the spoon in her hand.

"I can take care of myself."

He smiled. "Yes, yes, we can see that. I thought it would be a burden for you to suddenly take the CEO's responsibilities, especially when things are looking abysmal for us…But you are managing it well. Have you thought of a plan?"

"Hmm, I have something in my mind~"

Mui smiled. "Be careful sis. You wouldn't want to step on anybody's toes with whatever you are planning. The company is already not faring so well."

"And whose fault is it that the company is not faring so well?" She arched her brow. "If a certain ex-CEO hadn't been so lax with her responsibilities, then we wouldn't be here talking about it right now."

"You…"

"And by the way," Alix smiled. "Why do you think that I will be stepping on anybody's toes?"

She stiffened.

"It's as if you feel that I am venturing into something complicated and troublesome."

"I…I mean I was just saying, that's all."

"Hmm, are you only saying that? Or does it have some backbone to it? Aish, little sister. Is it possible that you are spying on me?"

Her eyes widened and for a moment, all the color faded away from her face. She looked extremely white as if she saw a ghost.

Alix sneered.

How did she survive as a CEO until now? She is like an open book.

Alix chuckled and patted her shoulder. "Chill, my dear sister. I was just joking. Of course, I know that you won't do something so cliche like spying. Wouldn't you want to lay low after the stunt you pulled at the company party~?"

Mui quickly shook her hand off, gritting her teeth at her. "Y-You, what nonsense are you spouting! You just want to humiliate me in front of Mom and Dad!"

"I mean I was just saying, that's all~" Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Her expression contorted in rage seeing her throw her own words back at her.

When Alix returned to her room after dinner, she collapsed back on the bed with a sigh.

Ah, I want a good shoulder massage…

She grabbed her phone and typed a message.

'I want a good shoulder massage.'

Jin's reply came a minute later with a hammer sticker.

'I only give hammer massages. I won't even charge you for it.'

Alix sneered.

So petty.

He dropped another text.

'Why did you order ramyeon delivery for Grandpa? Look at how he is hopping around like a kid.'

The status read that he was recording a video and a few seconds later, he sent it. Alix downloaded it and immediately came Liu Hai's booming voice.

"Ramyeon! Ramyeon! I am eating Ramyeon! Ramyeon is delicious! Ramyeon is free!"

Liu Hai was singing and dancing all around the house, carrying a bowl of ramyeon in his hands.

"Hai! Keep that bowl aside or I will divorce you right away!" Came Liu Chunhua's enraged voice.

'Anything to defend, Miss. Ren?'

Alix smiled. 'Apparently, I am now entitled to inherit a part of Liu family's property according to his will~ It only took a bowl of ramyeon.'

'...'

'Don't do anything like this again. As if he is not spoiled enough. Oh yes, before I forget, I will take you to meet Chyou tomorrow. So don't go straight to the company. I will pick you up from your house.'

Alix raised her brow. She typed back.

'Cool.'

Ending their short chat, she kept her phone aside. She got up and tied her hair behind into a bun.

Time to complete my homework.

Which was none other than making a collage of her memories as Shui had ordered her to complete.

Hm, should I make a physical collage or a digital one?

Nah, physical collage will be too time consuming. We should embrace the digital age~

Translation - Alix was simply lazy.

She unlocked her laptop and opened a white blank canvas. But just like the canvas, her mind was blank too.

What should I be exactly adding here? I don't even have any pictures with me…

A soft knock sounded from outside and she let out a sigh.

If it is Mui then I swear I will shut the door right at her face.

But opposed to her expectations, Ren Cuifen stood outside, carrying a tray with her.

"Yes?"

Ren Cuifen hesitantly said, "I…I brought some hot chocolate for you."

Alix stared at the mug on the tray, steam wafting from it with a sweet aroma.

"But I didn't ask for one."

"I know," she quickly said, "It's getting a little cold outside so I thought…it's good to stay warm."

Alix blinked twice. "I see."

She took the tray from her. "Thank you."

"Of course, of course. You don't need to thank me…"

Alix waited but the latter still hesitated to leave.

"I-I guess I will take my leave then…"

"Wait," she stopped when she had only half-turned.

"Yes!" She eagerly said.

Alix was surprised.

Why is she so excited?

"I am making a digital collage. But I don't have any pictures or stuff with me to start with. Do you have something that could help me?"

Ren Cuifen shone so brilliantly that Alix had to cover her eyes from that blinding light.

"C-Certainly! I have tons of things to help you! Let me bring them right away!"
