Chapter 76
Bai Lan gulped. This Li Yue… This Li Yue seemed different from the previous woman that she talked to a few hours ago. Suspicion clouded her gaze. "Who are you?" She shivered as she stared at Li Yue's unfamiliar expression.
Ignoring Bai Lan's question, Li Yue only smiled and said, "Think about it." She stood from her seat and walked towards the door. "I already did my best to help you, Miss Bai. If you continue to allow people to use you then… it's your problem anymore." She looked at Bai Lan one last time. "I think Mo Li is not looking for someone to cook here food or someone that would clean his house. He could easily hire a servant to do that. If you want to own his heart… then… stop being too stupid." She added before finally stepping out of the room.
For some reason, Li Yue felt refreshed the moment she finished her conversation with Bai Lan. This was her first time doing something like this, yet, she felt she had done something like this before.
Was it possible that she did these things in her past life? In the last four years, Li Yue had thought about every possibility that she could think of. Maybe she was a chef? An artist? Perhaps a race car driver? She had guessed and guessed and not one of those occupations gave her that warm familiarity that she felt a few seconds ago. Was it possible she was actually an agent in her past life? She chuckled at her own thoughts.
After all the deliberation and endless thinking, Li Yu finally concluded that in her past life, she lived a life so boring and pure, the gods decided to give her another chance to live by giving her a task. She chuckled but quickly stopped when she saw Mo Li standing at the corridor, staring straight at her.
"You seem happy?" He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed as he raised an eyebrow at her. "Did Bai Lan confess that someone asked her to provoke you? Did she mentioned it was from the Lu Family?"
After Bai Lan showed up and provoked her, Li Yue quickly deduced that someone told her to do so. The timing was just off and for some reason, Li Yue's instinct was telling her that there was a problem somewhere. When she asked Mo Li about it, the latter immediately volunteered to check the people that Bai Lan talked to before arriving and just like that, she found out that it was Lizzy Lu and her cousin Lu Xinyi. "No," Li Yue answered and walked past Mo Li. The two then walked down the stairs, into the living room.
This was the Mo Family's ancestral house and aside from Bai Lan, Sun Fengmian who was still unconscious was also staying here. "You— "Mo Li narrowed his eyes at Li Yue but ended up saying nothing.
"You wanna say something?" Li Yue raised her head and looked at him.
"No need. I trust you." He said. "Lizzy Lu is already asking about the identity of the painting genius that my aunt invited."
"And? Did you give her the info?"
"Of course not. I already blocked all the information about the genius painter. I guess… she will have to attend the masquerade to see for herself."
"Hmmm." Li Yue knew that Mo Li is more evil than her. He must be planning something that she didn't know and frankly, she does not have the energy to inquire about these things. The two maintained this silence as Mo Li drove Li Yue to her hotel room.
…
Meanwhile, Xia Jin and Li Weiwei were in daze as they stared at the information in their hands. The two looked at each other but no words left their mouth. Honestly, the two had no clue what to say.
After researching about Li Yue, the two found out that she was actually a very known artist in the painting industry. Under the alias of 'TheCavewoman' Li Yue is actually a multi awarded artist whose specialty is making portraits for her rich clients abroad! The rumors surrounding the woman about her house flipping was of course one of the rumors that the couple stumbled upon.
"Millions profit?" Xia Jin was speechless. "How could that be? That is… I have never heard of someone making that much profit while selling houses."
"Jin… I believe these are false. Nothing but a rumor to confuse people." At least Li Weiwei was smart enough to notice the peculiarities in these rumors. "No one really saw this flipping queen. We don't even know if this is her."
"It is her. Just look at that type of art that she does in every house. You can easily compare it to her paintings and that name… that Cavewoman is as silly as Flipping queen. She must have made all those rumors to take advantage of the hype. Bad publicity or any kind of publicity is still a publicity you know." As a business person, Xia Jin immediately analyzed Li Yue's scheme.
This however, made his beloved fiance frown. "So… she doesn't need our help after all. But why didn't she tell us? She actually allowed us to embarrass ourselves like that." Li Weiwei's eyes reddened. She really couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved. The two of them were already planning to organize a charity for Li Yue.
However now, that is no longer possible.
"We cannot do anything about this. Since Li Yue is clearly an accomplished woman then… we don't have a choice but to cancel that charity. No need to talk to her about this. There should be a reason why she kept it a secret."
"Hmmm. I understand." Li Weiwei lowered her head. She was always the type of person that would always help people in need. With her extremely righteous heart and guilt, she already convinced herself that Li Yue was struggling even before meeting her. Alas, she was wrong. Well… at least, Li Yue is actually having a good life now. She immediately comforted herself and started smiling again. "Jin… about the banquet…we should discuss our clothing. This invitation is kinda late but I am really excited to see Sister Yue as the cavewoman." She beamed. Despite everything, she still felt proud that she and Li Yue can be considered an acquaintance!
