But most importantly, why does she need to make Mo Fang laugh when he is Mo Li's enemy? The more Li Yue thought about it, the more she realized that a villain's life is truly complicated. Isn't it better to just live peacefully and be happy? Li Yue watched as Mo Fang frowsn in her direction. She immediately felt chills run down the back of her neck. For some reason, she found this Mo Fang to be scarier than Mo Li! Was it because the man was eyeing her body?
Li Yue cleared her throat. This body is too small. There is no way that this Mo Fang …. Wait. "By the way… how old are you, Mr. Mo Fang?" To start off, Li Yue decided to be courteous first. She didn't miss the surprise in Mo Li's eyes but she pretended not to notice it. She smiled in Mo Fang's direction.
"Seventeen."
"Eh? So young." Li Yue said, faking astonishment.
"He had always been a genius." Sun Fengmian added. "At sixteen, he had already graduated high school but he chose not to study college to gain experience on the world. However, since Mo Li is about to graduate highschool, my Mo Fang didn't want his elder brother to beat him so he finally decided to attend college too. In fact, he decided to attend the same university as Mo Li will in the future."
'So that's how it is.' Li Yue thought. Was it an expression of her maternal instinct? Sun Fengmian wanted to show off her son to everyone and have people compare the two brothers. She must have wanted everyone to be the one to decide who is best suited to become the next Patriarch of the Mo Family. However, this is nothing but a futile struggle. Li Yue knew how ruthless would this Mo Li become in the future. While she is not aware of why he would become like that, she knew that it must have had something to do with this woman, Sun Fengmian. Otherwise, the robot would not have wanted Li Yue deal with this woman.
This Sun Fengmian should be the reason why Mo Li became the evil Mo Li who ruled the underworld in the original story.
"Oh. So… shall we celebrate to that achievement? Maybe we should all drink something?" Li Yue immediately started to work. One of her two quests is to make this woman drunk. While the quests do sound useless, Li Yue knew that Robot would not make her do something that would not serve to benefit her in the long run. She sneakily readied the recorder app on her phone. One tap and she would be able to record everything that will happen today.
However, how could Li Yue succeed just because she became a little friendly? "I don't drink alcohol." Mo Fang immediately countered her proposition.
"Mr. Mo Fang is too serious… too serious. I meant… tea. Plus, you're still seventeen. It's not as if it's legal for you to drink alcohol."
"But, aren't you underage as well?" Mo Fang said. "You look younger than I am. Tell me… did Mo Li decided to have an under aged teen as a girlfriend this time? How old are you? Thirteen?"
"Cough… cough…" Even the stoic Mo Li was unable to stop himself from coughing. However, before anyone could answer, Sun Fengmian immediately scolded her son.
"Mo Fang… asking for a lady's age is rude." Sun Fengmian might sound gentle, but the deviousness in her eyes was pretty obvious to someone like Li Yue. "She might look young but that is only because she lacks the feminine touch of a lady. She did not come from a rich family so it is understandable." She looked at Li Yue, her gaze turned apologetic. "I am sorry, Miss Li. Please don't blame my son for acting like this. He is but a young child. I failed to raise him to become a fine a man."
Hearing this, Li Yue's lips twitched. This woman sounds just like the concubines in those historical dramas. "That is right… Mr. Mo Fang. You should not judge someone based on their appearance. Here…" Li Yue suddenly walked towards the bar in Mo Li's room. She then poured a glass of alcohol and promptly gave it to Sun Fengmian. "Since… Miss Sun Fengmian believes that this is all her fault, then, I believe it would be best for Miss Sun Fengmian to show sincerity by drinking this wine." A warm smile can be seen in Li Yue's face.
Her words obviously surprised everyone in the room judging from their widened eyes. However, this made Sun Fengmian laugh with glee. A bold woman like this Is Mo Li's girlfriend? How could she not be happy when Mo Li is actually making the wrong choice? In her mind, this Li Yue's character is too brash! It will surely affect Mo Li's performance in the future, something very beneficial for her. Contrary to the outcome that Mo Li wanted, Sun Fengmian was actually happy right now.
Once Mo Fang marries into a good family, his backing will increase exponentially. In contrary if Mo Li married this girl, he would have wasted the opportunity of gaining the strong backing of an influential family. Isn't that something worthy of a celebration? "Alright!" Sun Fengmian beamed. "Since you insist… then I will drink just this once!"
"Eh?" Slowly, Li Yue looked at the grim-faced villain who was already staring daggers at her. How could Mo Li miss the happiness that Sun Fengmian is showing right now? Isn't this the opposite of what Mo Li requested? Another shiver ran down her spine as she felt his sharp gaze pierce her. She pursed her lips and met his gaze. She then smiled and nodded. It was her way of silently telling him to just trust her. She would definitely make this Sun Fengmian faint tonight!
"Good! Good!" Sun Fengmian's face immediately turned scarlet from the strong whiskey that she had just drunk. She looked at Li Yue, smiling. Now, all she needs to do is make sure that this Li Yue is not someone concealing her capabilities after all. Once she determines that Li Yue is absolutely useless, she would not interfere in their relationship! However, if she deems this Li Yue to be a smart seedling, then she would not hesitate to weed her out. After all, a smart seedling would one day turn into a stout tree. How could she allow Mo Li to have someone capable as his partner?
