Little Miss Witch: Revenge of the Tainted Angel

Shen Zichen rarely gets mad. He prided that he had strong self-control and a mere insult wouldn\'t be enough to snap his patience. He developed the same temperament as his father growing up. 

Since he was young, he cultivated this self-control and patience by dealing with his handful of younger siblings. This was why their parents trusted him to look after his siblings whenever they had to leave for business trips. 

However, right now, he was livid. This despicable man continued to poke and test his patience over and over again and he just hit his bottom line. Li Xiuying was his bottom line and that was enough for his self-control to snap. 

Shen Zichen would accept any insult or disrespect on his way but he would never let someone talk bad about Li Xiuying even if it was her own husband. 

Mu Jianyu was shocked and stumbled back from the force that hit his face but instead of falling, which would cause humiliation on his part, he staggered to stand still and strike back at Shen Zichen. 

With Shen Zichen a few inches taller than Mu Jianyu and had more experience with hand to hand combat due to his training with his father, he easily avoided Mu Jianyu\'s fist with a hand and strike back with a heavier punch on Mu Jianyu\'s gut which forced Mu Jianyu to step back in pain. 

"Please stop! Stop!" Song Zexi hurriedly went outside and came between the two men. 

The tension between the two was palpable. Her eyes begged Shen Zichen not to cause a scene that he would regret later but what she saw was something she\'d never seen from him. His eyes flashed with indignation and anger, much like lightning on a pitch-black night.

When it came into a fight, it was obvious who would win between two. However, it would be a nuisance once their Miss Ying found out what happened while she was sleeping. 

Fortunately, the two men separated but they continued to stare down with hostility at each other. 

"Shen Zichen!" 

"Seduce your wife? Not everyone is like you, Mu Jianyu! You should check yourself in the mirror before spouting nonsense about Ying. Wasn\'t it you who took another woman in your bed, hurting Ying in the process?" Came Shen Zichen\'s harsh reply that seemed to freeze everything around Mu Jianyu. 

"W-what?" 

How did Shen Zichen find out about his secret? He had been careful enough to never be found out. 

"You followed me? You\'re the one who feeds this idea to my wife?" He asked incredulously which earned a snort from Shen Zichen. 

"You still don\'t know?" Shen Zichen gave him a mocking laugh, "You still don\'t know that Ying has always known the truth and had saved you from humiliation at her expense? I really don\'t know what she sees in a scumbag like you that she was willing to let go rather than ruin that ugly face of yours and your mistress!" 

He just dropped the bomb on Mu Jianyu\'s feet, successfully rendering him speechless.

\'Look who\'s stupid right now,\' he thought. 

When Mu Jianyu said nothing, Shen Zichen continued to stab his weakest point, not giving him a chance to retaliate. God forbid that Li Xiuying would hate him after this, but he couldn\'t let Mu Jianyu go unscathed. 

"Have you always thought that you outsmarted the Li family? Mu Jianyu, you are overestimating yourself. Did you know how the Lis and the Shens keep their high status and businesses even if there were constant changes around them?" Shen Zichen paused, trying to gauge the other man\'s reaction. 

His eyes were cold as he spoke. Li Xiuying was his dear friend and Mu Jianyu was her husband so why on earth would he say something so disrespectful against his own wife? 

"It was because they have eyes everywhere. A single mistake made by their enemy is vital in this game of survival and you, Mu Jianyu have failed the Li family\'s expectation miserably. Not only you stabbed them on their back but you also cheated on their beloved princess. This is your greatest sin, Mu Jianyu. This is why you aren\'t worthy enough to face or demand for Ying ever again." 

He was disgusted by Mu Jianyu\'s shamelessness and audacity to point fingers when in fact he was the one who committed the sin against Ying. 

Mu Jianyu looked at him with bewilderment as if he couldn\'t believe what he was hearing right then. 

Ying knew about his infidelity? How long had she known? Then why did she confront him or ask him about it? Did she see him being with Lin Meirong? Anyone could have known about his affair except Li Xiuying! 

No matter how hard he tried to understand, Mu Jianyu found it difficult to believe that Ying had known all this time about him and Lin Meirong. Was that why she tried to see Lin Meirong? Did she intentionally hurt Lin Meirong as vengeance? 

No. No. it\'s impossible. His Ying wasn\'t a devious person like that. She can never hurt a person much more to plot to harm others. 

Song Zexi covered her mouth in shock. This had gotten out of their hands and now the cat was out of the bag. However, it was too late for Mu Jianyu to fix everything and couldn\'t turn back time to correct his mistakes. 

"Ying knew and you are the one who was oblivious to the pain you caused her. She knew everything.. I really thought you loved her, Mu Jianyu, that was why I let her go but I should have known that you are up to no good."
