the villain s redemption
"No!" Li Yue barked.
"Why are you shouting?"
"Because you're being annoying!" Li Yue said before walking to her room. "Stay there! Don't you dare come inside my room."
"Or?"
She squinted her eyes. "Or… I'll kill you." With a loud bang, she closed the door behind her. How could this Mo Li be so… hateful?
'He is the villain." The robotic voice chimed in. 'He was born to become hateful.'
"Thank you very much for your enlightenment." Sarcasm laced her tone as she thought back about the men who were following her earlier. "Miss Lu, huh."
Lu Xinyi.
That was the same woman who had tried to bully her. For a while now, she had been blocking her way, calling her names and laughing at her misery. Li Yue had been avoiding her because of one, single specific reason, which also caused her previous predicament.
This woman is filthy rich. She has the money which Li Yue lacks right now.
With that kind of money, it would be easy for Lu Xinyi to hire people to kill her. At first, Li Yue thought that the bullying won't escalate any further because she had tried to avoid them. However, there was another factor at play. Lu Xinyi had been spending quite a bit of her time with the female lead lately. In fact, the two had become really close, going to malls together, eating their lunch with Xia Jin, and a few more influential people.
This, in turn, led Li Yue to conclude that the female lead is trying to sabotage her peaceful life by having others do the dirty work.
'They couldn't help it.' The robotic voice said. 'The leads in every world have a special way of attracting people. The world, as well as its people, revolves around them.'
"I know." She loudly said. "It seems that I need to teach this Lu Xinyi a lesson." With a wide grin befitting of a villain plastered on her face, she opened her laptop and checked the forums of their school as she slurped her noodles. "These people should stop bothering me."
'Agreed.'
Rolling her eyes, Li Yue started rummaging through her memories. Seriously, being the previous Queen Bee has some epic perks. Smiling, Li Yue opened her social media account and went through several profiles and posts before confirming her suspicion. Lu Xinyi had indeed been trying to usurp her throne.
A sinister laugh escaped her lips.
This woman had been attaching herself to the people whom Li Yue used to be close friends with, even her previous best friend who had just disappeared when she knew about her real background had been hanging out with Lu Xinyi.
Oh well.
Smiling, Li Yue went to find one of the locked, unopened suitcases in her small room. This suitcase remained unopened for a few reasons. Firstly, it's too big and bulky; everything inside the suitcase was divided into locked boxes. As for the keys… well, it's complicated. This Li Yue had another box full of keys! She simply does not have the time nor energy to sort it out!
Secondly, her current accommodation lacks the space for these boxes and third… Li Yue couldn't find any use for its contents... yet.
After she opened the suitcase, Li Yue tried to remember which of the boxes had the dirt she had gathered about this Lu Xinyi. The next step is pretty simple. All Li Yue had to do was just try every key in her key storage until the rectangular box made of steel opened.
That's right, simple, and easy.
Still beaming, Li Yue opened the box and started sorting through the photos of people that she is not familiar with. Now that she thinks about it, Li Yue must have had also used these photos, or maybe she was planning to use them to blackmail people.
If not, why would she keep photos and documentations of embarrassing things that happened while they were still small? These documentations even included things such as who peed their pants while having a movie marathon at school and amongst other petty stuff. If even the most minor events were recorded, there's practically no need to talk about the darker secrets, things better left unsaid.'Nasty.' She thought inwardly. And very hardworking.
She suddenly wondered how Li Yue was able to come up with such a nasty strategy. Was she thinking of using this wealth of information to blackmail people when she enters the conglomerate industry?
That might be reasonable. After all, the school she went to was one of the best schools where elites and people born with silver spoons always go to. It was private, has a strict entry, and pretty expensive. Moreover, the school was also used as a place for heirs and future leaders could build relationships of which they could use for their future careers.
Some really business-minded people have already established relationships with their peers whose parents have amongst the largest influence in the conglomerate industry. This is also the reason why everyone left her alone when they discovered that Li Yue has no use left in her in the future. After all, she was a nobody.
"Smart and evil." She uttered as she started reading the envelopes inside the box. Each had their own names and labels.
Gu Xiao- Scandalous.
Zhou Hao- Scandalous.
Qin Feng- Mild- need more info.
These are seniors! They were people who were already making their names in the business industry at a young age. This—This Li Yue is really evil! Even the labels are somewhat menacing. Li Yue chuckled as the victory flag flashed before her eyes.
Lu Xinyi- Scandalous.
Eh? An eighteen-year-old woman with the scandalous tag? She threw the envelope onto her bed before she checked out some of the other envelopes and picked out the other familiar names that she found.
'Liu Chinchin - Scandalous'
'Xiao Rinchan- Semi- more info'
"Ahhh… this is so much fun!" she blurted. This Li Yue… She is starting to love her evil ways!
The sudden knock on the door dampened her mood. "Hey, are you alright? I thought I heard you… shout."
"Leave me alone!" she responded. This Mo Li really knows how to ruin her jovial moments!
"Have you thought about it? Do you want to be my pretend girlfriend now?" his voice echoed behind the door.
