BXBX NOVEL Chapter 83 Her Side
Chapter 83 Her Side
And just as Li Yue and Mo Li found the perfect spot to stand and stay hidden, Li Weiwei and Xia Jin arrived. Li Weiwei was wearing a pink princess dress with a white intricate lace design while her knight was wearing a white suit with pink embroideries. Their masks were matching wink and white with a lot of sparkling pink gems. The two immediately caught everyone’s attention.
"They look perfect for each other, don’t they?" Li Yue complimented. If Li Yue and Mo Li would stand next to Li Weiwei and Xia Jin, this fairytale would be completed. The fairytale would obviously have the princess and the prince as the protagonist and Li Yue and Mo Li as the antagonists. "I should probably paint this." She uttered.
"I think we look better." Mo Li sneered. "What’s with that baby pink dress? So childish." How could Mo Li allow Li Yue to praise her ex boyfriend? "And I definitely look better than Xia Jin." He eyed the man from head to toe before he added. "Yep. Anyone can tell... who would look better."
"Hmmm. I actually think you are more handsome than him."
"Good. Good." Mo Li’s mood immediately lightened. He stared at Li Yue as if silently asking her to praise him more.
"You are taller and have more muscles too."
"Hmmm. I agree. You have very keen eyes."
"Yes. Of course, you have more money too. Xia Jin is nothing compared to you."
"That is definitely true." An ex boyfriend was someone from the past and people of the past should just stay where they belonged. In the past. "Now that I think about it. Why did you even agree to paint him?"
"Why wouldn’t I?" Li Yue held the champagne closer and watched as the chandelier sparkled on the wine. It reminded her of the stars outside the banquet hall.
"Well..." Mo Li finished his own wine before he continued. "Hmm. I think agreeing is good. It shows that you are not some bitter ex lover. That is good. Keep it up."
"..." Does Mo Li have a split personality? Li Yue couldn’t help but ask herself before she started sipping her own champagne. "I am happy that they found each other." But most importantly, she’s happy that she had now earned the trust of the female lead.
After her conversation with Li Weiwei about the matters of the Li Matriarch, Li Weiwei didn’t waste any time and immediately started her own investigations. With Xia Jin’s keen eyes and Li Yue’s information, Li Weiwei immediately sorted out the truth and was already preparing to deal with her grandmother and aunt after this banquet.
This was totally an unexpected development! Just today, Li Yue received a call from Li Weiwei telling her that she owed her a lot and she would help her have the justice that she deserved. Li Yue was honestly speechless. Was this the power of the female lead?
But since the female lead wanted to handle this for her, then Li Yue didn’t complain. The sooner Li Weiwei could handle the situation, the better it was for the original Li Yue’s soul. Plus, Li Weiwei now owed Li Yue a favor.
It seems that she had gained so much from a single transaction! Having a deal with the female lead was just exceptionally profitable. Because of this, Li Yue immediately decided to make each female lead owe her in every world. Then... she would make another profitable deal and gain from it.
Such a brilliant plan! This was something that only she, Li Yue could think of.
"Why are you smiling like a creep?" she heard the man next to her ask.
Li Yue immediately cleared her throat. This Mo Li had been really observant lately. Sometimes, she wondered why this man had suddenly become so curious about her. Did he notice something different? Was his senses that good? "I was laughing at Lizzy Lu and Lu Xinyi." She answered.
"Hm?"
"They just arrived." Li Yue said as she motioned at the two women wearing dark green and purple ball gown. The two... looked just like the villain in some cartoon shows that she remembered from Li Yue’s memories. How amusing.
"Oh. That’s weird." Mo Li frowned. Those dresses actually looked hideous. They were too big and bulky. The mask did not match the dress too. Moreover, the two were not smiling but were instead scowling as they entered the hall. Did they encounter some evil scheme? Slowly, his gaze turned towards Li Yue.
As if on cue, Li Yue met his gaze. She immediately smiled and said, "Don’t look at me like that. I am innocent. I swear... I didn’t do anything."
Mo Li only nodded in response. If it wasn’t Li Yue then... it should be Li Weiwei. After the scheme that Li Yue started to make Li Weiwei fight against Lu Xinyi, the Li Family and Lu Family had started involving their businesses and ended up becoming direct competitors. This might not be known to some people but Mo Li was different. He already had eyes and ears in each family. Thus, he knew the ins and outs of each family’s empire, including the gossip and plans that each family had for the future.
With the situation in front of him, Mo Li immediately concluded that the gown was a part of Li Weiwei’s scheme. Lu Xinyi must have tried to sabotage Li Weiwei’s outfit, leading the other side to retaliate. Of course, Mo Li decided not to involve himself and just stay behind the sidelines and act like a wallflower.
The most amazing thing about all this was the fact that the true mastermind of this fight was actually standing next to him, leisurely sipping her drink as if she didn’t just start a conflict that might soon involve the other business companies in Yin City. Still, Mo Li was not planning on outing this beautiful lady Li Yue. All he wanted to do right now was stand by her side and watch the show.
