His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Jin Liwei sneered as he looked down on his traitor of an uncle who was now reduced to a pathetic old man wailing like an ugly, demanding baby. He radiated cold ruthlessness, showing no sympathy at all to his late father's cousin.

"Jin Chenggong, listen to me because I won't repeat myself and waste any more of my precious time for a traitorous leech like you. The moment you schemed with the Youngs to snatch Jin Corporation and everything else that my grandfather, father, and I worked so hard and tirelessly to build and grow with our blood, sweat, and wits while the rest of you branch families benefit from our generosity on account of our blood relations, you already lost your right and that of your branch family to claim yourselves as members of my Jin clan.

"We, the main family, have so graciously shared our wealth with all of you, the branch families, and have showered you with countless opportunities to climb up through the ranks of high society, and yet this is how you repay us—by betraying us! You backstabbing viper!"

Jin Liwei rushed to the kneeling older man and smacked him on side of the face with great force. Jin Chenggong cried out as he tumbled sideways and hit the floor with a loud thud. The sound echoed in the cell.

The older man crawled on all fours and tried to grab Jin Liwei's leg but Jin Liwei avoided him like a dirty dog. "Dear nephew—"

"Don't call me that! I'm cutting all familial ties with a duplicitous bastard like you. I'm sure that if my grandfather and father were alive, they would do the same thing, perhaps worse! You're a disgrace to the Jins!"

Jin Chenggong continued bawling. Tears and snot mixed on his face and dripped down his shirt. "Liwei! I r-regret everything that I did…believe me! It was just a moment…a few moments of g-greed…I'm sorry! Dear nephew—Liwei, I'm really sorry for everything! If not for Romeo Young, all this wouldn't have happened. Yes, it's all Romeo Young's fault and his damn Young family! They're the ones who corrupted me and planted the seeds of greed in me! The Youngs are evil! I'm only a victim…just like you! Yes, I'm a victim too, Liwei!

"If I have the chance to redo everything, I would stay loyal to our clan—to you! Give me another chance to prove my loyalty to you! I'll do everything to right all the wrongs that I did! Please, Liwei! I promise that I won't do all the bad things that I did again."

Jin Liwei curled his lip. The look in his eyes was filled with scorn. "Don't make me laugh, Jin Chenggong. Do you think that I'm stupid to believe your lies? You're not really sorry for what you did. You're only sorry that you got caught."

The older man cried harder and kowtowed in front of Jin Liwei. "Forgive me, Liwei! Sorry! Please let me and my family off!"

For this former uncle of his, Jin Liwei's heart had already turned into cold stone especially after reading the report of his confession.

"It's clear by your actions that your loyalty for my Jin clan has long disappeared and been transferred to the Youngs. Rose Young plotted to violate me and yet you moved to rescue her? You already know that I'm married to my wife, you immoral bastard!"

Jin Liwei smacked him again. This time, on the other side. Both sides of Jin Chenggong's face were now swollen from Jin Liwei's hits. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

Jin Chenggong coughed and spat out a tooth. Such was the strength of Jin Liwei's hit.

"These are not the worst of your crimes. Not for me." Jin Liwei's voice was now like a soft whisper. It was deceptively calm.

Jin Chenggong couldn't help but shiver.

"For me, your worst crime is conspiring with the Youngs to kidnap my wife and…defile her," Jin Liwei growled, looking like he couldn't wait to murder the older man prostrating himself by his feet. "I can understand that you have an unjustified grudge against me and the main family for holding the authority of the clan and the company, but what did my wife ever do to you?! How dare you target her, you evil animal!"

Violent sounds of powerful punches and kicks filled the cell punctuated by loud, bloodcurdling cries of pain.

Jin Liwei allowed himself to lose control and started beating up Jin Chenggong without holding his strength. He released all of his pent-up fury at the older man.

At first, Jin Chenggong was still begging him with his noisy, bloody mouth now missing several teeth. But as Jin Liwei continued his ruthless beating, the older man could only whimper in pain.

Jin Liwei only stopped when Jin Chenggong stopped protecting himself.

Jin Chenggong was still alive. He was barely recognizable with all the bloody, swollen cut and lumps, and fast-forming bruises all over his body. He was ugly, dirty, and pathetic just like his evil, black heart.

Jin Liwei knelt on one knee and grabbed Jin Chenggong's hair with his fist, harshly pulling his head to force the older man to look at him straight in the eyes.

"Listen to me."

Jin Chenggong did. He was shaking all over and now looking at Jin Liwei like he was the devil.

"I won't kill you."

Jin Chenggong held his breath. There was a trace of relief in his eyes but he didn't dare to openly express it.

"I won't dirty my hands for scum like you."

Jin Chenggong remained silent. His expression was now looking hopeful. "Th-thank you—"

"Instead, I'll leave you, your wife, and your daughter here and allow these people to do whatever they want with you."

Fear and alarm twisted Jin Chenggong's bloody and swollen face. He started shaking harder. "N-no! Please, no! Don't leave us here!"

"But I'll tell them not to kill you. I promise."

This time, Jin Chenggong wasn't relieved even though Jin Liwei made a promise. Not at all. The torture that he went through in the past few days was enough to make him wish to die many times over but his tormentors refused to let him die.

It was hell on Earth.
