"Li Yue, I heard that your blood family lived in a village?" Lizzy Lu continued. "I bet you’re good at fishing" she asked. "It should run in your blood, right?"

  Li Yue was speechless. Fishing runs in the blood? She was not aware of this. She stayed silent and turned her head away from the woman. Li Yue had no time to deal with petty schemes like this. Moreover, she had already planned to do only the tasks the system tells her to do. Since the system didn’t give her any side quests to deal with this woman, it could only mean that she is not relevant to the lives of the main leads. Since she already has her hands full, Li Yue decided not to waste her time on irrelevant people.

  "Li Yue…… we used to be quite close when we were young. Why are you giving me the cold shoulder now?" Lizzy Lu then eyed Mo Li who seemed to be so indifferent. Even though Mo Li heard her words, he didn’t say anything to defend Li Yue. In Lizzy’s mind, this could only mean one thing, Mo Li also wanted to watch a show. "Is it because you’re afraid?" Lizzy tried her best to provoke Li Yue. As someone who had been classmates with Li Yue since an early, Lizzy was aware that she could easily provoke Li Yue. Heck, everyone knew that Li Yue is short tempered. How could she not take advantage of this opportunity to embarrass Li Yue and impress Sun Fengmian at the same time?

  That’s right, Lizzy was well aware that Sun Fengmian was just putting up a façade with Li Yue. It was because Sun Fengmian and her mother were quite close. In fact, Sun Fengmian had promised her mother an engagement between Lizzy and Mo Li once they are still single even after they turned twenty one.

  While Lizzy’s mother told her that it was only a drunken joke, Lizzy took it to heart. After all, she had watched Mo Li in TV and even met him a couple of times. Mo Li’s charm had long since reached her heart. However, she kept these emotions bottled up inside her and pretended that she does not care about Mo Li. To her, a man like Mo Li would prefer a woman who doesn’t show any emotion towards them.

  Lizzy had tried to create a lot of opportunities for her and Mo Li to be alone. She would, of course act high and mighty and would not spare Mo Li a single glance once she succeeds in doing so. Her face would be so cold, a blizzard might have just been in her eyes. With her beauty and elegance, one could say that she looked like the goddess of frost. Of course, behind this façade was a warm maiden’s heart hoping that Mo Li would try to tease him to get her attention.

  Sadly, this never happened. Mo Li…… who sat next to her would maintain his silence and would never speak. Then, he would close his eyes and sleep! This would immediately make Lizzy seethe in anger. How could he sleep when he was next to a cold goddess? Seeing the futility off her actions, Lizzy decided to change her strategy and decided to get close to Sun Fengmian.

  After all, Sun Fengmian is Mo Li’s stepmother. While the two were not in a cordial relationship and obviously hated each other, Sun Fengmian can still influence the identity of the woman whom Mo Li would marry.

  In the past, Lizzy Lu’s direct competitor was Bai Lan who was not only beautiful but was also smart and elegant. Aside from this, Bai Lan had once lived in the same mansion as Mo Li did. However, when Lizzy found out that Bai Lan was the type of woman whom Sun Fengmian could easily manipulate into poisoning Mo Li, her burning competitive spirit turned to disgust. What sort of woman would try to poison the man she admires? Isn’t that pure stupidity?

  Of course, that poisoning happened years ago and the only reason why Lizzy knew is because Sun Fengmian discussed with her mother about some poisons. Sun Fengmian trusted Lizzy’s mother and the two had always used tricks and schemes to win against their enemy. After all, the two of them shared the same circumstances. Both were mistresses who married into their husband’s family after the wife died.

  After the poisoning, Lizzy had become closer to Sun Fengmian. They had become close to the point that Sun Fengmian would invite her to stay at the mansion. By then, Bai Lan was already studying overseas. Lizzy immediately took the opportunity and stayed in the mansion hoping to build at the very least acquaintanceship with Mo Li. Of course, she was still acting aloof and cold on the outside.

  To her surprise, the day that she was to stay at the mansion was also the day that Mo Li decided to live alone in a condominium. That was after he was named heir and had access to the Mo Family’s properties. Mo Li decided to become independent by earning his own money by becoming an idol— a profession that surprised Mo Li’s father. It did, however made Mo Ying ecstatic as this meant that Mo Li was interested in the family business. Lizzy could not comprehend why Mo Li wanted to distance himself from his father, but she could guess that it had something to do with the Sun Family, and also Mo Li’s maternal family which is one of the strongest families not only in Yin City but the whole country as well.

  After that, Lizzy had rarely seen Mo Li as he would only visit the mansion during special events like New Year’s Celebration and his father’s birthday. Aside from that, Mo Li had been busy working in the entertainment industry. Because of this, her opportunity to see Mo Li had become almost non-existent.

  So, when Lizzy heard from Sun Fengmian that she would make Mo Li attend school, Lizzy became ecstatic and suggested that their university would be the best one for Mo Li. She also did her best to make an exception for Mo Li all so he could attend the pilot section and became her classmate. All this was for her to become closer to Mo Li.
