The Villain's Redemption

……..

Mo Li frowned. He stared at her face for a few seconds. "Does it matter so much to you?"

She lifted an eyebrow when she felt her pulse in her throat, enabling her from talking. She opened her mouth but ended up closing it again. To her surprise, Mo Li reached out and touched the area in between her eyebrows.

"Frowning… doesn't suit you." He uttered before pulling her again. Bella tried to remove his hands but she quickly realized it was futile.

"Hey, We are currently in an educational institution. We should— " Seeing the pointlessness of her words, she pursed her lips and decided to stop talking until they arrive in the office.

"I remember you still have a class?" Mo Li said before she could even open her mouth to talk. "You should go to your class. You don't want to be late, right?" he grinned before he leaned and kiss her cheeks. "I still needed to go to the department head's office. I will see you after your last class?"

She opened her mouth but before she could say any words, Mo Li already disappeared in front of her. The only thing that she heard was the sound of the door closing behind him.

"Being mature is hard," Bella uttered slowly as she shook her head. The last two worlds that she had been was too different, she found it hard to adjust in this world. She immediately tried to think about the reason why she wanted to keep acting like the real Bella. She narrowed her eyes. She could act like this forever.

It would kill her!

She wondered how those women in high society act like this all the time. All prim and proper with their smiles so perfect, teeth so white. How did they survive? She let out a loud sigh before she grabbed her things and followed Mo Li out of the office.

Bella Qin was scheduled to teach about political theories in a class that is located in a new building that would take her about fifteen minutes of walking. She looked at the current time. It was already a few minutes past one and her class would start at one-thirty. Somehow, the fact that she won't be late because of Mo Li made her smile.

"Hey,"

Bella stopped walking and looked at none other than Amy Sy. The woman was standing in the hallway, next to a janitor's closet.

"Follow me," Amy uttered and walked inside the Janitor's closet. Of course, Bella didn't move. Did this woman think she was dumb? She immediately tried to recall why this Amy was acting like the bully cheerleader and likes to bully her.

Bella couldn't seem to remember any reason why the woman hated her so much. Compared to her, Amy was more beautiful, taller and her body was definitely a bomb compared to Bella's skinny frame.

"Hey! Miss Qin! I said I want to talk to you!" She heard Amy shouting behind her but she didn't spare her another glance. This Amy was acting all mighty against everyone but always ended up embarrassing herself. Bella wanted to see how far is this woman willing to go in her bullying. Bella quickly turned on the recording feature on her phone.

Now she didn't know how she got the idea but it was the first thing that she thought when she first heard Amy's words.

"Hey!"

Bella stopped walking when Amy viciously grabbed her arm. "Didn't you hear me? I said I want to talk to you!" Amy's said, her voice loud enough for everyone standing twenty feet near them. Bella looked at the students in the hall. Not one of them dared to move. Instead, they stood there fearlessly, some of them dared to take out their phone to record the current drama.

"I heard you, Miss Sy," Bella smiled. "But why would you enter the Janitor's closet if you want to talk to me? Did you think, I was the Janitor and forget that I am Bella Qin?" She immediately mentioned both of their names for her record.

"You— " Amy seethed. "When I said that I wanted to talk to you, I mean in private!"

"And… talking to a fellow teacher in a janitor's closet is… considered private?"

"Of course it is!" Amy said, her hand still grabbing Bella's arms.

"Miss Sy, you are hurting me. Please stop grabbing my arm with your right hand." Bella said. Of course, she mentioned all this for her record. She kept her tone calm, her voice soft but clear, making sure that everything is recorded clearly on her phone. As expected, Amy squinted and smirked at her.

"Oh? Why Bella? Are you planning to tell everyone that I grabbed your arm, again? You think they will believe you?"

The word 'again' made Bella frowned but she quickly masked her realization with a smile. Seems like her memories about this woman are still a bit lacking? She needed to think about this Amy Sy tonight. "Of course, they won't. After all, you are so good at making yourself the victim. What are you planning to say once they see the bruise in the arm? Are you going to tell them that I grabbed myself and I was just trying to make you look bad? Miss Sy, would you really dare to lie with these people watching us? They have their phones with them and some are recording this confrontation."

As expected, Amy looked around and realized that some students are indeed recording this confrontation. "Everyone! Go back to your class now!" She hissed.

Seeing Amy occupied with the other students, she quickly pulled her arms away and took a few steps away from Amy.

"You think they would dare post those videos?" Amy snorted. "Did you forget who my father is?"

"Your father… Mr. Sy is working closely with the vice mayor right?" Bella asked.

"Of course, he does. Everyone here knows that. You know that my father could ask the board in this school to fire you anytime, right? I mean… Did you think the Qin Family would help you out?"

"The Qin Family won't help someone like me out. After all, I am a divorced woman. I am the dirty speck in their clean reputations." Bella made a dramatic sighed. Everyone in this university knows that she was once a Qin because of Amy. The woman just wanted to keep on embarrassing her and remind her that her family disowned her for not being a good wife.

"To be honest, your self-awareness surprised me," Amy said. A sinister glint flashed in her eyes. "Sadly, it won't save you. The only reason why I didn't ask my father to fire you is that I know that you can't go anywhere else without this job. You would end up jobless and probably live on the streets. You know… you should thank me. Because of me… you are still here, working your ass off and acting like a god damn white lotus in front of everyone."

"Is that what you wanted to tell me in this private conversation that you wanted to have with me?" Bella asked.

"You — You don't seem to fear me?" Amy smirked. "Ah… is this because of Mr. Mo?" Seeing Bella's calm expression, Amy chuckled. "Please… stop acting all so calm in front of me. I know why you cut your hair like that and I know why you are wearing like a skank. It's because of him, right? You must have known that he would come today and decided to dress better to attract his attention?"

"Is this what you wanted to tell me?"

"Hmph! Still, acting tough? Can't you see? There is no one else around. They all left. They know what I can do once they disappoint me." Amy sneered. "I want you to stay away from Mo Li."

"Alright." Bella nodded. Right now, she already has more than enough recordings of this woman's real personality. "I will stay away."

Amy squinted before giving her a suspicious glare. "Listen, Bella… If I see you again… with Mo Li. I will definitely tell my father to ask the board to fire you. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, Miss Sy. Loud and Clear." Bella gave her a cordial smile. "I will absolutely do everything that you say as long as you don't ask Mr. Sy to talk to the Board about me." She said, without showing any emotions in her voice.

"You— Are you mocking me?"

"Not at all, Miss Amy Sy. Not at all."

Amy squinted one more time before she turned around. "Hmph! What a loser." Bella heard her say as she walked away. Seeing this, a smile slithered on Bella's face. Who would have thought that there are dramas like this in a boring university life like Bella's? She grinned before she turned off her recording and sent a copy of it on her other email.
