The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 86 A Miscalculation

The pain. Li Yue involuntarily shivered. In her next world, she would never experience the pain of being waxed again! Not in her legs! Arms! And certainly not in her pubic region! She gritted her teeth and decided to focus on her current situation right now.

Now that Li Yue thought about it, she immediately became thankful that those people started preparing her early in the morning.

"Oh? Are you telling us that you were in your hotel at that time? The CCTV might prove that you didn’t—"

Lu Xinyi’s words were interrupted when Li Yue suddenly lifted her dress, showing her white jade like skin. "Waxed. Clean and clear." She shamelessly beamed. Realizing that she revealed too much of herself, Li Yue immediately frowned and added. "At that time, a group of five people entered my room to prepare me for this banquet. Hot bath, waxing, massage, hair and make-up. I did all this in a span of a day." She wanted to add a curse but that would reveal too much of herself again. In the end, Li Yue faked a serious gaze. "If you are not content, please have the mayor’s wife file a case. I will have five witnesses by my side. At around ten, we also ordered snacks and refreshments from the hotel. That should be seen in the CCTV from the lobby."

Li Yue’s words were crisp and clear, everyone inside obviously heard it.

"I can testify to that as I was the one who hired those people." Mo Li suddenly added, smiling. "Her words were true. My secretary should be able to give you the contacts of the people who I had hired to prep up my date for the night." He smiled at the mayor and his wife before his gaze turned serious. "To actually try and frame my date... someone must have wanted to see King Yama himself." He sneered and looked at the waitress.

"It’s not me." The waitress held her hand in front of her face, as if defending herself from Mo Li’s suffocating gaze. "It’s Miss Xinyi... it’s miss Lu Xinyi... My parents... my parents are sick... I needed money to... to... support them. Please have mercy. Please..." It wasn’t even a few seconds and the waitress had already broken down on the floor, crying. "I didn’t mean to do it. I swear... I didn’t mean to lie. I only wanted money." She crawled next to Li Yue and started kissing her hand. "Please miss... forgive me. Please..."

Li Yue felt her lips twitch but she said nothing and sigh. "I won’t press any charges to you." She said. "And I will let you go." Of course, she knew that Lu Xinyi won’t let go of this woman after what she did. "Go." Li Yue said. "Leave."

With her shaking knees, the waitress forced herself to stand up and ran away from the hall. Li Yue could only give her enough time to leave the city. As for what happened next, she didn’t really know. Slowly her gaze darted towards Lu Xinyi. "Is there something that you want to say?"

"You—"

"We’re leaving." Lizzy Lu pulled her cousin as she gave Li Yue a ’this is not done’ look. Tonight, all they wanted to do was to make Li Weiwei and Li Yue fight while they enjoyed the show. It seems that their plan had been completely seen through by that damn Li Yue. Lizzy couldn’t help but feel a little aggrieved in her heart. However, she was not giving up.

Seeing the situation just got resolved just like that, Li Yue and Mo Li eyed the Mayor. Since it has already come to this, it would be best to continue the banquet. Tomorrow, the mayor would personally deal with the mess. He immediately made an announcement and even shamelessly requested Li Yue to create something like that again so he could pacify his wife’s heart.

This made the crowd laugh. The atmosphere turned lively once again and everyone immediately started starting a conversation with Li Yue and her date for tonight Mo Li. Because of this, the two had to find another corner to hide and act like wallflowers again.

"I have never seen you like that." Mo Li whispered beside her. Li Yue just finished drinking another glass of champagne. She eyed Mo Li and smiled.

"I have to defend myself."

"Hmmm. Of course." Sarcasm was apparent in his voice.

"If I won’t... no one else will defend me." Li Yue added, making Mo Li freeze. Was she angry that he didn’t help her out from the beginning? But women like Li Yue wanted to deal with their own schemes on their own, right?

After knowing Li Yue’s past, Mo Li concluded that she was the type of woman that would rather deal with everything all alone. She was an independent woman and hated it if someone had to save her. He did his research, alright? He read books and researched about this type of millennial women who claimed they could do everything on their own. So... why was she mad? Did he misunderstand something?

Did he make a miscalculation after all?

Seeing Mo Li’s complicated gaze, Li Yue suddenly let out a low chuckle. As expected, he knew everything about her. This man must have been thinking about how hard it was to understand her right now. She smiled and looked at him, coincidentally, Mo Li was already looking at her.

"This is the first time that you gave me such an honest laughter." He said. "It’s beautiful."

Li Yue didn’t hide the surprise in her eyes. She immediately lowered her head, avoiding the intensity in his orbs. She couldn’t stay here, Li Yue reminded herself. "Yeah... I am beautiful... alright." She faked an awkward laughter. To her surprise, Mo Li didn’t say anything, instead, he held her chin raising her head. Her eyes under her black and gold mask met his. And for a few seconds... silence descended between them.

Li Yue gulped. Was he going to kiss her? She couldn’t help but wonder.
