The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 20 Past Life

"You really want to do this?" Li Yue asked, her eyes narrowed onto the woman in front of her.

"You really want to do this?" Lu Xinyi mimicked her in a mocking tone. "Do what? You mean this?" she said as she lifted her heels and tried to step on Li Yue's hands on the floor. Good thing she was quick enough to remove her hand. Wordlessly, Li Yue stood before Lu Xinyi, eyeing the CCTV camera that was located at the corner of the corridor.

"Oh! You think that will help you?" Lu Xinyi sneered. "I can just pay someone to delete that recording."

Li Yue stared at the woman's face as she recalled why this Lu Xinyi hated her so much. As far as she could remember, Lu Xinyi had always been her enemy, playing the role since they were young. They both went to the same preschool and even attended the same school throughout their elementary years.

At first, it was just all just a silly rivalry. That was, until Lu Xinyi's boyfriend chose to work with Li Yue on a school project. Lu Xinyi thought that Li Yue was trying to steal her boyfriend, seducing him so he would leave Lu Xinyi. However, that was never the case.

In the first place, Li Yue is madly in love with her fiance, Xia Jin. There's practically no reason for her to try and steal someone else's boyfriend when she already has the perfect fiance. However, despite knowing how it would anger Lu Xinyi, Li Yue allowed Lu Xinyi's boyfriend to work with her just to spite the woman in question.

She even went as far as posting their images on her social media accounts as they worked on the project together. As expected, this prompted Lu Xinyi to explode in anger and jealousy, causing her to leave nasty comments on her posts, embarrassing herself as she called Li Yue offensive names.

At that time, Lu Xinyi was so angry that she forgot how Li Yue's parents could read her comments as they themselves have their own social media accounts. And, as expected, when her parents saw the comments, they were furious. They immediately reported such improper behavior to the principal.

In the end, not only did Lu Xinyi lost his beloved boyfriend, who transferred to another city, she was also suspended for her improper use of profanities which was unbefitting of a lady from an influential family.

After the suspension, Lu Xinyi and Li Yue never spoke, and even when they did, they only made spiteful remarks against one another. The two could not even stay in the same room without fighting or insulting each other!

However, Lu Xinyi could not physically touch Li Yue as the Li Family was more influential than hers, the Lu Family. Of course, this changed when Li Yue left the Li Family.

How could Lu Xinyi not take advantage of this situation?

"But… you can't pay me." Mo Li's voice interrupted the tense atmosphere at the corridor. Everyone turned their heads to the man who had just walked out of the library. With his thick glasses, the books on his chest, and a bag hanging on his shoulder, Mo Li looked more like a teacher than their classmate. "I've recorded everything that happened just now… What do you think will happen if I release this online for the entertainment of my fans?"

As expected, Lu Xinyi paled at the mention of his fans. What is scarier than teenagers who would do anything for their idol to notice them? Who knows what those women would do once they see the video of her bullying someone!

"Mo Li… you don't understand. This woman right here… was the one who had been bullying us for a whoe year!" One of Lu Xinyi's friends chimed in. "You don't know this, but this Li Yue made Lu Xinyi's boyfriend leave her! She blackmailed him into leaving Xinyi! This woman is evil incarnate! You really should stop protecting her like this!"

"That's right!" Lu Xinyi uttered. "Li Yue had been nothing but evil to those around her. She might seem all sweet and kind around you, but that's only because she had lost her influence and just wanted to get close to someone with an influential family like yours!"

The girls nodded when they heard Lu Xinyi's words. Each of them then started listing out the horrible things that Li Yue did. However, instead of frowning in response, Mo Li only glanced at Li Yue before he nodded.

"And?" he asked.

"What do you mean, and?" Lu Xinyi said.

"And… what does that have to do with me?"

The girls shut their mouths at his question. He was only asking the right question. Li Yue bullying them in the past apparently had nothing to do with him.

"Since it has nothing to do with me. Then… I want you to leave, or I will have this post become viral in the forums."

"You— " Lu Xinyi was about to say something else when she noticed how serious Mo Li's face was. In the end, she gritted her teeth before leaving with her minions.

Seeing the problem temporarily resolved, Li Yue immediately collected her things and started walking out of the campus.

"Hey!"

"What?" Li Yue hissed, unable to hide the blood lust that had been swarming in her ever since the confrontation began.

Surprised, Mo Li turned silent.

"Leave me alone!" Li Yue said as she hastened her steps towards her apartment. That Lu Xinyi is looking for death.

[I told you— ]

"SHUT IT!" Li Yue shouted, her voice loud enough to attract some people passing by. However, she was too clouded by anger to care. It was as if her vision had turned red. Her eyes were full of fury when she entered her room. Without even changing her clothes, Li Yue immediately opened her laptop.

[If you do it now, she will know it was you.]

The robot's words stopped her in her tracks. She then stared blankly at the video that was playing on loop on her screen.

[If you do it now, you will attract more attention and that will endanger your life. Once you die… you fail. Let me remind you. This is your last chance. You have the choice to pass a mission, or have your soul disappear forever. You will not remember who you were, not your name and certainly not your past life.]
