"I heard that Li Weiwei and Xia Jin's engagement will be announced just after graduation."
"Is that so? But isn't that too quick? I remember Xia Jin and Li Yue were quite close back then. Do you think, Xia Jin…"
"Shhhh. Li Yue is coming."
"So what if she's coming? Can she even do anything to me?"
"Hah. Haven't you heard of her new backer? Have you forgotten what happened to Lu Xinyi?"
Rumors like this started right after the day that Lu Xinyi dropped out of school. It wasn't her choice but the school administrator's after some of the students' parents approached them about the video online. How did they teach their students that they even had the guts to do such a crazy thing? The administrator who was close with Lu Xinyi's parents had no choice but to expel Lu Xinyi due to her behavior shown in the video. After all, most conservative parents, or probably all sensible ones think that it is extremely inappropriate for a teenage girl to walk around only in underwear in front of an adult male, be it brother or not.
Moreover, this incident also greatly affected Lu Xinyi's parents as many people in Yin City now refuses to invite Lu Xinyi to gatherings and some even went as far as forbidding their male children from getting close to her. Because of this, her parents had no choice but to send her abroad. Of course, there was another reason for this. They actually thought it was Mo Li who acted against Lu Xinyi.
And since the Mo Patriarch had already declared Mo Li as the next family head, the Lu Family decided not to take any actions which may provoke Mo Li. Another rumor included the closeness between Li Yue and the Mo Family's Matriarch, Sun Fengmian. Many people had actually seen Li Yue walking alongside Sun Fengmian while shopping and the two even seemed to be quite close! In fact, many of the socialites have some photos of Li Yue and Sun Fengmian laughing together while picking up beauty products and luxury bags.
What could this possibly mean? Did Mo Li really attack the Lu Family because he was protecting Li Yue? What about their relationship? And why is Mo Li's stepmother treating her as if she was the future daughter in law?
Most importantly, how could Fake Phoenix Yue become this lucky?
The rumors continued to spread. However, Li Yue was honestly had no concern about any of this. Her contract with Mo Li was voided. There was no need for her to be with him anymore. She had also limited her contact with Sun Fengmian and politely declined all of her invitations. After all, it is better to maintain certain boundaries when it comes to her relationship with the Villain.
Li Yue only wanted to finish her quest and live the rest of her life peacefully. She was not planning to attract attention, fame, wealth, and much less love. She knew that it would only complicate things in the future. All she wanted was to silently stand on the sidelines and watch the female lead and male lead enjoy a happy life.
However, how could the plot allow such a thing to happen? Today, Xia Jin and Li Weiwei actually visited her apartment for the first time since she moved into the place.
"Elder sister Li Yue… we apologize for coming here without prior notice. We could not contact you anymore and we figured that you've changed your number to avoid us. But this… this is really important."
Li Yue immediately frowned at Li Weiwei's words. Why is she suddenly calling her elder sister? They were supposed to be born on the same day! That's why the nurses accidentally switched the two of them.
When Li Weiwei and Xia Jin saw her frown, the two immediately shut their mouths. "Elder sis— "
"Please call me Li Yue. We're not close." Li Yue immediately stopped Li Weiwei's words. How could she allow her to call her old again? This Li Weiwei might be extremely beautiful but she, Li Yue is not that bad either! More importantly, she does not look older than she is! In fact she looked younger because she… 'lacks the attributes of a woman'. Li Yue pretended not to have snuck a glance at Li Weiwei's blessed chest as she turned her head away.
"My apologies." Li Weiwei's voice was really gentle and warm. Anyone who hears her voice would immediately think she is someone worth protecting.
"What do you want?" Li Yue asked.
"It's just that… we heard that you were quite close with the Mo Family." Li Weiwei started. "I know… I know you said that you don't want anyone to contact you, not even your biological family. But… but the Li Family from our village is really struggling. I've already tried my best to help them."
"You want me to help them?" Li Yue frowned. "Don't you know that I don't have my trust fund, inheritance or even money anymore? I returned them to mother and father. I have no money, no house, not even a vehicle. I only have this chair, that bed, my laptop, cell phone and dignity. What can I possibly do to help them?"
She watched as Li Weiwei and Xia Jin's face turned weird. But then, who cares about what they were thinking? Li Yue only wanted them to leave right now! She knew that the lead would always attract trouble no matter where they go. How could Li Yue allow herself to get entangled with their messes? Does these two think that she would silently allow herself to become cannon fodder?
Over her dead, dignified body!
She, Li Yue does not have the means to defend herself against the schemes of rich people. How could she attract trouble to herself? It would be better for her to live simply and avoid these two in the future.
"Li Yue… that's not what she meant." Xia Jin immediately placated the situation. His gaze towards Li Weiwei was oh so gentle and sweet, Li Yue felt her blood sugar level dangerously rise just by watching them. "The Mo family is renowned in the entertainment industry. You have… "he made a deliberate pause as he eyed Li Yue's face. "Your biological brother is a struggling model. He is good looking and tall. Very talented too. If it's alright with you, can you at least introduce him to Young Master Mo?"
