Chapter 46 A Woman of Character
However, her hopes were completely shattered when she saw Li Yue and Mo Li together after their first day of classes. She had planned to approach Mo Li and try to tell him that Sun Fengmian wanted her to help him adjust in this school. But she had no chance as Li Yue was always with Mo Li!
It was as if Li Yue was someone that Mo Li had paid to follow him around and accompany him so Lizzy wouldn't approach him! Everytime, Lizzy would try to have a conversation with Mo Li, he would talk to Li Yue instead! The only thing worse than this was that Lizzy had to keep her cold act and not let it affect her.
She couldn't even express her anger as she was afraid that people would think she had a thing Mo Li! However, this trip was going to change everything. Lizzy knew that her Aunt, Sun Fengmian was planning something sinister during the course of this trip. She knew that she was planning to injure him. Of course, Lizzy immediately planned ahead and decided that no matter what happened, she would save this man from death. She would not even hesitate to put herself in harm's way just to save him.
Of course, the first step of this plan was to get rid of Li Yue. She had already planned to injure Li Yue, prompting the other guide to send her home while they continued the trip. However, she couldn't find any opportunity to do this. Li Yue was always next to Mo Li. If this continued, Lizzy wouldn't be able to act against Li Yue. Of course, she was not planning to reveal her sinister plans in front of Mo Li. So, she thought of a way to embarrass Li Yue instead. Surely, Mo Li would not stay with Li Yue after this! Her completely cold countenance changed the moment she saw Mo Li not acting to stop her.
Mo Li should have known that she was Li Xinyi's cousin. With the history that Li Yue had against Li Xinyi, it was only natural for Lizzy Lu to act against Li Yue to avenge her good cousin. She was after all, a person who acts for justice. Lizzy Lu sneered. "Li Yue… do you want to make a bet with me?"
"No." Li Yue answered almost immediately. She knew that Lizzy Lu was Lu Xinyi's cousin, so she immediately thought that the latter had sinister plans against her because of Lu Xinyi. If Li Yue knew that this was because of Mo Li, she would have immediately explained to this woman that nothing was going on between her and Mo Li. Also, if Li Yue knew that Lizzy Lu wanted to save Mo Li, she would have easily let the woman accompany them. In Li Yue's mind, as long as it was not the female lead that would save this man, it should be fine.
"Why not?" Lizzy asked, confused. Li Yue was someone that you could easily provoke with just a few words. Why did she decline the bet? Was it because she was looking down on her? With this in mind, Lizzy fumed. Everyone in the school knew that Lizzy was not very smart in academics. Contrary to the false praises that her mother always used to describe her in front of Sun Fengmian, Lizzy was at most an average student. However, she had a very athletic body and was an expert in martial arts and sports. But, could she use this talent in business?
Because of this reason, most people in the school who were very good at math and sciences looked down on her. One of these people was of course, Li Yue.
"Why would I?" Li Yue countered. By now, the senior who was showing everyone how to catch a fish had successfully caught a fish that was bigger than his palms. He used his hand to catch it as if it was nothing. Because of this, the hot blooded youths got excited and thought it was such an easy task. They immediately thought of this as a great adventure, something that they could brag about when they talk to their peers in college. "Mo Li will catch a fish for me." Li Yue shamelessly said.
"I don't know how to catch a fish." Mo Li whispered. Li Yue immediately elbowed him.
Seeing Mo Li and Li Yue interact like this only made Lizzy more irritated. Sun Fengmian clearly said that Li Yue and Mo Li had broken up. Why were they acting so close now? "Are you afraid that I will beat you?" Lizzy asked.
"Of course I am." Li Yue said without any hesitation. "If you want to bet with someone, go and bet against Li Weiwei. She should be good at this." Of course, she immediately decided to send her to the female lead. In terms of betting, someone with negative four luck beating was obviously bad. While the female lead should always win the bet. Li Yue only wanted to peacefully finish her quests, why was this woman trying to create trouble for her?
"Shameless!" Lizzy hissed before an idea came into her mind. "I knew that Brother Li does not have a tent. I don't want him to stay with you. My mother and Aunt Feng are quite close and I know what kind of woman you are. How could I allow him to stay with a woman who has a questionable character? Good thing that I brought two tents with me. How about this? If you win, I will give one of the tents to Brother Li? If I win, you still stop pestering Brother Li and leave him alone?" Seeing Li Yue turn speechless for a few seconds, Lizzy Lu added. "You didn't know this but Brother Li and I grew up together. I am only concerned about him. I suggest you take this bet with me and show him that you are not only a pretty face but a woman of character too!"
Li Yue frowned. She eyed the other students who heard their conversation before she sighed. "What does this have to do with character? Isn't this just catching some fish so we can eat?"
