The Villain's Redemption Chapter 37 Break Up

Chapter 37 Break Up

Naturally, the Rat Li Yue was unaware of what was going on inside the Villain's head. At that moment, she was happily trying to auction some of Mo Li's images online and so far, she had already profited a lot just by selling two images. She then opened her bank account and looked at the money that she had garnered. So far, she had been able to save a huge amount thanks to Mo Li's generosity. However, it was not enough to bear the cost of studying abroad.
Her progress in art is also doing well but it would not be enough to serve as a shield her if the villain suddenly decides to kill her. She needed more money. A sum enough for her to build a fortress to defend herself from the Villain. Of course, that was only preparation for the worst case scenario that she could think of. Right now, Li Yue's attention was focused on learning the necessary survival skills that she could use during the camping whereby she was planning to save that Mo Li.
Since the plot that she read did not reveal any detailed information, Li Yue needed to do a lot of research on her own in advance. She needs to bring all the necessities in order to save the villain this time. She would never let Li Weiwei save him.
….
Days flashed by.
Soon, Li Yue and all the students had to take the final examinations. It was a long four days of examination that would only cover eight subjects. Meaning, everyone had to take two subjects per day. Of course, Li Yue had also been working hard for this exam. Aside from studying the survival guide, Li Yue chose to work hard for this examination as it was the sole ticket to her studies abroad.
She was really adamant on leaving this place after she saves the villain. Li Yue had witnessed first hand of how chaotic Mo Li's family is. He was nothing but a poor, lonely soul who wanted someone to care for him, and that was what Li Weiwei showed him when she saved him. Care. The warm feeling of someone caring for him. A warmth, he never felt before.
The one thing that surprised Li Yue most was Sun Fengmian's constant invitation to meet up. Then, the woman would give Li Yue all sorts of jewelry and expensive bags while letting her eat anything she asked for. This development was something not even her robot had predicted. Of course, Li Yue knew that the scheming stepmother was deliberately doing this to irritate Mo Li. Li Yue was also aware that Sun Fengmian wanted to manipulate her in the future. However, this did not mean she disliked the older woman.
As a matter of fact, Sun Fengmian had become her new best friend! The two would always shop together and eat in famous restaurants. Sometimes, the woman would even personally drive Li Yue from the school to Mo Li's condominium just so they could drink together! While this naturally made Li Yue question her intentions, she decided not to ask any questions and just accepted everything that Sun Fengmian gave her. After all, no matter the intention, a gift is still a gift. There was no reason decline a gift.
"You should probably stop seeing my stepmother." Mo Li suddenly said one day.
"Why does it sound like you want us to break up?" Li Yue beamed.
"Why are you smiling like that?" Mo Li's face turned grim. "Do you want to break up with me?"
At the sudden remark, the smile on Li Yue's face immediately disappeared. She could not tell why Mo Li had become such a moody person lately. She thought it was because Li Yue failed to make her step mother angry. "You've already agreed to pay me two million." Li Yue suddenly said. Does this Mo Li think that he could break the contract without paying her? "If you want to break the contract, you'll have to pay a hefty amount of money for it."
Mo Li was rendered speechless. Sometimes, he could not understand if Li Yue was only acting dumb or if she was really this stupid. How could a person love money so much? According to his research about this rat, Li Yue had grown up in a happy family. She had everything that she wanted to the point of being spoiled. So, her attitude of being such a persistent money-grubber just didn't make sense to him. Was it because she was afraid to become poor?
That was the only reasoning he could come up with.
"She is planning something." Mo Li said after a few seconds of silence. Getting close to Sun Fengmian would be a bad move for a simpleton like Li Yue. It would only put her in danger. And once this happen, Mo Li would be forced to reveal his cards to save her. To him, this was already spelling trouble. He could not allow that to happen. "You are putting yourself in danger."
"You care about me?" Li Yue suddenly laughed. "You, are worried?"
"Are you stupid?" He countered. This woman is far too weak, stupid and skinny. He was sure that she would not be able to fight the people who would want to kidnap her. Or maybe even a poison from Sun Fengmian would do the trick. While he does not care about this woman, he could not turn his head away once something happens to her. It was because of their contract.
He had promised to protect her. And he was not the type of man who would go back on his words just like that.
"Hehe… Alright… Alright… I will stay away from now on." Li Yue made a deliberate pause. "Does this mean our contract is also over?"
"Yes."
"Oh… so you will no longer give me money?"
"No."
"Oh." Li Yue suddenly rose from her seat and collected her books and other belongings on the library table. "Alright."
"Where are you going?"
"Home."
"…" Mo Li was once again rendered speechless. Was she angry? He stared at the slight smile on Li Yue's face. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But in the end, he chose not to say it. "Alright then. See you tomorrow."
Li Yue only chuckled before leaving the library without sparing him another glance. Of course, this action made Mo Li frown in confusion. Was she that adamant on getting rid of him?
What he didn't know was that Li Yue was only thinking of her options. Since Mo Li will stop giving her money, she needed to find new ways to earn money. She immediately started to consolidate her memories and started smiling. It seems that she will need to examine her blackmail materials again.
