The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 34 Unexpected

The sudden turn of events was completely unexpected. However, what could Li Yue do? She could only lament her miserable fate and pretend to be stupid in front of this woman. At least, Li Yue had enough experience to know that acting stupid in front of evil people will always work.

If she shows even a hint of being smart or wise now, these two would be wary of her! It would put her in danger! How could she put this body in danger when she was not yet done with her mission? So, she decided to act as if she was stupid. And for someone who is already not very smart to begin with, her acting was extremely natural.

"Really? You like drawing too?" Li Yue asked Sun Fengmian who was proudly boasting her artistic bloodline.

"To be exact, I love painting. My son Mo Fang loves to paint too."

Li Yue eyed Mo Li who wore a blank expression. She could not imagine the amount of hatred that the scary villain be feeling right now. After all, this situation is the exact opposite of what he sought after.

"Yue..." Sun Fengmian’s voice was gentle. "You seem to be a good child. Since Mo Li likes you, I would have no problem with your relationship. I wholeheartedly give you two my blessings." After talking to Li Yue for a while, Sun Fengmian realized two things. Li Yue was very much informal with her, which was unexpected considering that she is not from any of the rich families in the city. The second one was the fact that she is a simpleton. She is not smart at all!

Sun Fengmian then thought about Bai Lan’s words last night. Bai Lan had cried in her arms all the while telling her that Mo Li was spending the night with a classmate. She immediately thought it was someone from another influential family. Since it was a worrisome thought, she rushed here early in the morning to meet this woman. She was afraid that Mo Li would have a strong backing and gain the strength to retaliate against her schemes in the future!

However, seeing Li Yue’s confused look right now finally put her mind at ease. The woman seemed to be innocent and yet bold at the same time. She was also a little pretty. Heh, she didn’t expect that this Mo Li would like someone like this. But who cares? This would only benefit Mo Fang in the future.

"You should start calling me Aunt Feng in the future." She beamed as she accepted another glass handed by Li Yue. "Alright... let’s drink to that!" She added. Of course, she was not originally intending on getting drunk without even having lunch. However, how could she refuse this opportunity to get close to Li Yue?

Sun Fengmian’s mind was full of schemes. This was her intrinsic nature. While she was examining Li Yue, she was already thinking of ways to use her against Mo Li. Sun Fengmian knew that while Mo Li was rumoured to have girlfriends from the entertainment industry before, he had never actually introduced anyone to his family. This meant that Li Yue is different! She should be someone dear in his heart!

After coming to this conclusion, Sun Fengmian’s face broke a slight grin as she decided that she would use this Li Yue in the future to ruin this Mo Li.

"Alright ... Aunt Feng!" Li Yue pretended to lower her head as her ears turned scarlet. How could she not tell the sinister thoughts she was having right now? This old woman who looked like she was in her thirties instead of her late forties is extremely cunning. No wonder she would cause the villain’s downfall. If her guess was right, this woman would work with the female lead to destroy the villain in the future.

"Mother... I think you should rest. You’re getting drunk." Mo Fang’s words interrupted Li Yue’s stupor. She raised her head to look at the mother and son in front of him. This Mo Fang was extremely impolite to Mo Li and her. However, he seemed to show genuine concern towards his mother.

"What! Drunk? Hek... I’m not drunk!"

"Sigh... Anyone drunk would say that, mother." Mo Fang immediately glared at Li Yue. "Can’t you stop giving my mother wine?"

"Mr. Mo Fang... this... "Li Yue’s eyes immediately reddened to his confrontation. "I was only trying to celebrate this meeting... I..."

"Aigo... Mo Fang... how could you let little Yue cry?" As expected, Sun Fengmian immediately reacted when she saw this. "She is your elder sister. Be respectful to her in the future."

"But mother..."

"Mr. Mo... you should start calling me Elder Sister Yue! That’s more fitting for someone like me!" Li Yue said shamelessly. Her first quest was to get Sun Fengmian drunk while the second one was to make this Mo Fang laugh.

’Robot, now that I think about it, these quests are so petty and stupid.’

[Fitting for the stupid host] the robotic voice sharply countered almost immediately. Li Yue’s upper lip twitched when she heard the robot’s words.

Mo Fang only rolled his eyes in response as he assisted his mother to stand up. "Mother... father had already told you not to engage in these kind of activities anymore. You can’t be anymore drunken right now. Let’s go to the other room."

"Aunt Feng... " Li Yue called out. How could she let Sun Fengmian go when she is so drunk she could barely stand anymore? However, Li Yue really wanted to applaud this woman’s tolerance. How could she still...

Wait....

This Sun Fengmian is only pretending to be drunk! Li Yue gritted her teeth inwardly. "Aunt Feng... please, just one more thing. I know that the artistic and beautiful Aunt Feng is not someone who gets drunk easily. So... So... I would like to apologize in advance but I would love it if you could show me some pointers for my art." Li Yue said. She knew that the statement was a stupid one but she could not think of any other way to get Sun Fengmian to stay. After all... that ten coins reward would be very important for her in the future. "Could you please stay for a few more minutes?"
