The Villain's Redemption

Li Yue looked at the determination in Mo Li's eyes. Marriage? Payment? Wife? Was that something she could do? She didn't even know if she would die after saving Xia Jin! Wait… that's it! She didn't know what the future held after saving the male lead from the villain!

Meaning, she could say yes now and think about the consequences of the actions later on! "Alright. I will think about it. Give me two months."

"Two months?"

"Hmmm. Just after I finish doing murals for your office and room." She smiled. That's right, two months from now, Xia Jin would marry Li Weiwei and she would stop his untimely death! After that, she is still unsure what would happen to her! She might die the very next day or the next year! If she died after she accomplished the mission, then Mo Li would surely stop this craziness. And if she doesn't then… she would run away until she dies!

Surely, Mo Li would not be crazy enough to run after her after realizing that she really did not want to marry him, right? After all, he was an upright man of the society, known to be smart and cunning. Mo Li would never do something like that!

"Then… good!" He said before he rose from his seat. "Ask my butler to guide you to my room so you can examine the area. I wanted to have a mural of a forest, maybe even a cave." He gave her a meaningful gaze before adding. "I have an emergency meeting in ten minutes so I have to leave for my office. Call me if you need anything." Then Mo Li left.

Just like that Li Yue was able to trick Mo Li to wait for her to decide about this matter. Of course, Mo Li already assumed that Li Yue would become his wife soon. In his mind, even if Li Yue chose to run he would be able to easily find her. It's not like Li Yue would disappear into thin air, right?

Right?

Mo Li was beaming as he left the dining room. He immediately went back to his study to arrange everything for Li Yue's hobby and business. Right now, Mo Li was aware that Li Yue was not as impoverished as Xia Jin and Li Weiwei thought her to be.

The only reason why they didn't know this was because Li Yue was using an alias in her paintings and other forms of artwork. She also refused to interact with a lot of clients and just let her assistant handle everything. Because of this, not many people knew what she looked like.

The only reason he knew it was her, was because he had been watching her since she left this place all those years ago.

Lu Mansion

*BANG*

The loud sound of something crashing echoed inside the room. The air went stale before it turned into something suffocating. Then it was followed by a shrill scream and someone's sobbing voice.

"Young miss, please forgive me. Please forgive me. I didn't mean to —"

"Useless piece of trash! How did you miss a news like this?" Lizzy Lu was still wearing her pyjamas. Her head was hurting from the wine that she had last night and she wanted to stay in bed all day. However, this useless servant of hers actually informed her that Li Yue had actually come back to the City two days ago and even had dinner with Mo Li the other night!

She paid these people to inform her the moment Li Yue took a step in this country and yet they… they still failed to do so! A trash was indeed a trash no matter what! Disgust laced her gaze.

"Young miss… this was only because of Mo Li from the Mo Family. He was the one who hid the news of Li Yue's arrival. Please don't blame us. We already did our best."

The servant's words made her more irritated. She looked at her empty bedside table, the lamp from her bedside table was no longer there as she had already thrown it towards the wall. Unable to stop herself, Lizzy walked towards her bar and started smashing all the expensive wine bottles that were a part of her collection. The only way that she would feel better today was for her to break everything that she could get her hands on!

"Young miss! Please… stop… Young miss! Help… someone help me… the young miss is at it again." This was not a new phenomena in the household. Though Lizzy Lu already fixed her appearance, her anger towards everyone seemed to increase day after day. This anger coupled with the fact that her schemes against the Li Family always failed made her turn towards alcohol and drugs.

Soon, frantic footsteps echoed inside the hallway, as the servants of the Lu household struggled to stop Lizzy from breaking everything inside her room. After a few tens of minutes, Lizzy finally calmed down. However, the damage that she had done onto her room was not cheap.

Again, she needed to transfer to the guest room as they needed to fix all those damages.

"Cousin. That was too excessive. Do you really have to break everything because she came back? Is that even necessary?" Lu Xinyi let out a sigh. She too hated Li Yue but her reaction was different. Right now, she felt happy that the dumb bitch was back. She could finally have her revenge after all these years.

"Hmp! You only say that because your face was never ruined by that woman!" She downed the whiskey in her glass. "Once I find that woman… I will definitely…"

"She is under the protection of your beloved Mo Li." Lu Xinyi interrupted, a sinister glint flashed in her eyes. Did Li Yue think that Mo Li could protect her from everything? Was she actually that dumb?

Of course, this would be another lesson that the noob, Li Yue would understand soon. When it came to dealing with enemies, it was always better to destroy them without mercy so they couldn't come back for any revenge.
