Chapter 31 Brazen Li Yue

Chapter 31 Brazen Li Yue

Mo Li who was unaware of Li Yue's plan to hide his injured body if she was unable to save him, joined Li Yue for breakfast the next day. It was a holiday so they didn't have to attend classes. However, since they already have a prior agreement to 'study' trigonometry, Li Yue needed to stay here for the whole day with him.
"You don't need to teach me today." Mo Li said. "But you'll have to stay in my room for the whole day."
"Why is that?" Li Yue asked. Of course, she already knows why he asked her to stay with him. Today, his stepmother would come to meet Li Yue. It doesn't really take someone smart to know what was going to happen today. After all, Bai Lan was sent home unconscious last night. Surely, she had told her mother about Li Yue and everything that happened. Moreover, Li Yue was sure that the woman would have twisted the story to make herself the seemingly pitiful victim.
"Just do as I say." Mo Li said without looking at her.
"Alright… then tell your people to make more food. I get hungry easily." Li Yue said. Since she was already here, why not take advantage of the situation and eat something expensive? "I would love to have some lobster today. With… caviar and golden leaf."
"…"
Seeing Mo Li's reaction only made Li Yue's smile widen even more. "We could have some Wagyu beef for dinner, and truffles. Wait… when was the last time I had truffles?" She beamed as she continued pretentiously spouting all the expensive ingredients she could think of. She was honestly expecting Mo Li to stop her; however, the latter only stared at her before nodding.
"Alright… Just act well." He said before returning his attention to his food.
"Act well?" Li Yue stared at him, seemingly confused at his words. "Act?"
"My stepmother should arrive soon. Remember the deal."
"Ah?" Of course, she pretended to be so surprised, her eyes widened, mouth opened. "That sounds scary."
Mo Li shrugged without responding.
…..
Mo Li was right. A few minutes after they finished their breakfast, a couple of servants wearing black and while uniforms entered the condominium. They then lined up and bowed their heads, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
'Isn't this like the mafia movies in her memories?' Li Yue thought inwardly. However, instead of scarred men wearing black bowing at the boss, it was the servants. Still, this is a big show of power and authority. If the stepmother is already like this then… what about Mo Li's father? Wait, something does not make any sense.
Mo Li's father was known in the real estate and entertainment business. Aside from that, there was no mention of the man's past. At least, not on the short summary that Li Yue got the other night. Li Yue could not help but lower her head as she hid the helpless smile on her face. It seems that the summary was still useless to her after all.
She could not use it to defend herself against the other lurking dangers of this world! She let out a long sigh before she turned her back and walked towards Mo Li's room. There is no need to stay here and wait for Mo Li's stepmother right now.
"She's here." Li Yue said the moment she entered Mo Li's room. She had gone down to drink a glass of water when the servants arrived.
"I see." Mo Li nodded. "Then… take a seat behind me and don't forget to make her angry. I will give you a bonus if she faints."
"…" Li Yue was truly speechless. If she keeps on provoking his stepmother, she was sure that someday, this old woman would have action taken against her. Now that she thinks about it, this Mo Li is really ruthless for making her the target of his stepmother's wrath. But what could she do? Li Yue is not supposed to kill the Villain. She could only influence the decision he would make in the future.
"Why are you so silent?" he asked when he noticed Li Yue in a daze. "Did a donkey hit your head?"
"I was just thinking. Why do you want your step mother to faint? Can't we just…" She leaned towards him and lowered her voice. "Why don't we just kill her instead?"
Mo Li's eyes glinted with something that Li Yue could not recognize. He turned his head to face hers. This action immediately made them realized that their faces were only inches apart. He stared at her. "You're talking about killing someone?" There was a hint of amusement in his voice. However, before Li Yue could answer him, the door to his room suddenly burst open, revealing a beautiful woman wearing a red body-con dress that perfectly hugged her curves. The woman let out a surprised gasp as she stared at Li Yue and Mo Li's close proximity.
Her gaze shifted from Li Yue to Mo Li as if silently gesturing for him to explain the situation. However, how could Mo Li do such a thing?
"Sun Fengmian… you are disturbing us." Mo Li said in an annoyed tone. "Do you need a reminder that this is not your house?"
This, of course, Surprised Li Yue. It was the first time that she saw this man in such an agitated state. She leaned back to observe Sun Fengmian's reaction.
"Brazen." A cold voice echoed inside the room. Then, a man who looked like Mo Li walked to the front of Sun Fengmian. "How dare you talk to mother like that?"
Li Yue looked at the man's appearance and couldn't help but nod in approval. This man… is like the feminine version of Mo Li. Beautiful. That was only thing that came to her mind the moment she looked at him. This is Mo Fang, Mo Li's half-brother. Since Li Yue did not have any idea why these people hate each other, she decided to just sit and be still. Watching beauties argue is not such a bad thing after all.
