The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 60 A Strange Woman

Of course, Li Yue was unaware of all this. The changes that Li Yue had done with the original plot was tremendous. Her closeness to Mo Li had actually made him lose the title of the villain. At the moment, silence had descended between Li Yue and Mo Li as they fell into deep contemplation.

The sound of the rain above had intensified. But with the trees and the boulder, the two were safe from the current onslaught of the storm. Aside from the occasional wind and the loud thunder, the two didn’t really feel that there was a current storm outside of this forest. "Hey, Mo Li... do you think they are already looking for you now?" she asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Hmmm. If father will not come find me... his career will end." He said, nonchalance laced his voice.

"Your mother’s family—"

"Yes. They are quite powerful." Mo Li said. He stared at Li Yue. "After this... we should go our separate ways. You and I have different paths. I will continuously put you in danger. I am still incapable of protecting you. So... you should stay away as much as you can."

"..." What was he talking about? Seeing the confusion in Li Yue’s face, Mo Li sighed.

"You are really dumb. In this world, if you continue to act like that... people will take advantage of you. They will use you, then discard you once they are done." Mo Li’s words were direct and savage. But they were honest. She lowered her head, avoiding his gaze in the process. She was indeed weak. Along with her current negative luck points, it would be hard for her to survive. Luck.

Luck could be considered as a skill too. With her current pitiful luck, she was honestly struggling in all aspects. Everything... even her plan was spoiled because of her luck. She had worked hard enough and yet... She shook her head inwardly.

"I grew up in a family where the strong devour the weak." Mo Li’s words startled her. Almost immediately she raised her head. Was he going to tell her about his childhood? Does this mean that the quest would be completed in no time? Her depression vanished instantly. "The Mo Family... was always about strength and talents. Once you show an ounce of weakness, people will immediately take advantage of that and try to kill you."

"You are trying to say—"

"My father knew that Sun Fengmian had been targeting me. Yet, he did nothing.He always warned her not to touch me but that was it." Mo Li laughed. "If I die... he probably won’t punish that woman and just let his second son lead the company that my mother built along with him."

A gasp escaped her lips. So it was like this? But what kind of father would do that to their own son?

"The only reason why my father declared me as the heir was because of my mother’s family who practically rule the City. He knew that my maternal grandfather doted on me so much. And he was afraid that once he showed a little bit of neglect towards me, that old man would expose his wrong doings and ruin him." Mo Li sneered. "However, now that something happened to me that father of mine would be wishing that he finds my body in a ditch somewhere. This incident can only be blamed on the school. The school would take all the responsibility away from that man."

"You have such a ruthless father." Li Yue said. "Why would you force yourself to stay with those kinds of people?" This was something that she couldn’t understand. If Mo Li chose to leave and live a life abroad, those people would slowly lose interest in him. Why live with people that will constantly scheme against him? Wasn’t that too chaotic a life?

Li Yue hated that kind of life. She felt that it was too exhausting. It’s funny how Li Yue didn’t have the memories of her past life, yet her body was telling her to avoid these things. Was it possible that in her past life... she had a life like Mo Li’s?

The thought made her chuckle. How weird.

"And... you think I have the choice. How comical." Mo Li responded, his eyes glued to the flickering fire in front of them. Since he was young, he wanted to earn his own money. Was it because he wanted to leave this family for so long? "You are lucky. When you chose to leave the family who fed you, they immediately agreed without asking so much of a question."

"Isn’t that because they found a replacement—" Li Yue froze. She looked at Mo Li. "That’s it! Why don’t you find someone that could replace you? Like a person who is better than you! This will make them put all their resources in that person and leave you alone! Isn’t that the best idea in the world?"

Mo Li shook his head. Sometimes, he really didn’t understand this woman. She was rash and stupid, bold and funny, confident and weak. He found this woman really strange. Find a replacement? Was that something that he could just do? Was this woman living in her own fantasy world? "Heh... Li Yue... why don’t we do this. If I indeed find someone to replace me. I will find you and marry you. What do you think?"

She snorted in response. "Isn’t that only a marriage? Then let’s marry each other!" This was a sentence that Li Yue would regret years from now. At this time, Li Yue thought that this man was still the ultimate Villain in this world. Meaning, he would still experience something dark in the future that would turn him into a cold and ruthless character capable of fighting with the male lead.

Moreover, Li Yue was already planning to disappear after this incident. She was sure that Sun Fengmian would continue to use her until she succeeded. While other people might also start targeting her, people like Bai Lan and Lizzy Lu. Since Li Yue already realized the difference in their skill, she had already decided to change herself for the better.

So she would leave this place and come back once she was ready— ready to save this Mo Li and ready to save the Male lead from his untimely death.
