Li Yue faked a smile. How could she not understand the scheme hidden behind the step mother's actions? Sun Fengmian wanted everyone to see her as a caring and loving step mother. That could only mean one thing… she has something planned for Mo Li in this trip, and Li Yue was not looking forward to it.
Of course, this information was not included in the scam-like plot that she bought from the system. "Aunt Feng…" Li Yue's smile would always be sweet every time she talked to Sun Fengmian. "Thank you so much, Aunt Feng… but Mo Li had already brought everything for both of us." She answered. Saying no to Sun Fengmian now would make her look like an ungrateful wench while saying yes would surely affect their trip as the bags that she had prepared were huge enough as is.
Thus, Li Yue decided to use her portable plot armor, the Main Villain Mo Li!
"Oh?" Sun Fengmian lifted an eyebrow, surprised at Li Yue's refusal. "Really? I did not expect that Mo Li would be so… kind so as to prepare the things that you need as well."
"Aunt Feng… Mo Li is always kind to me. As you can see, my arms are this thin" she pointed to her arm to emphasize her words. "How could I bring bags that are bigger than I am? Because of this, Mo Li voluntarily brought some essentials for me. I want to thank Aunt Feng for being so thoughtful, but Mo Li had done a lot for me. I don't want to hurt Mo Li's feelings by saying no to his offer. Not when we are already here."
Sun Fengmian silently stared at Li Yue. To be honest, it was the first time that Li Yue talked back to her like this. She immediately eyed Mo Li who was now looking at them. "Is that so?"
"Hmmm." Mo Li nodded nonchalantly before he went back to his phone.
"Aigoo… you two… you got me worried for no reason." Sun Fengmian faked a peal of laughter loud enough to attract the attention of the ten people standing near Mo Li and Li Yue. "I thought this stoic son of mine would ignore you."
"Aunt Feng… I think we're about to leave. Thank you for your concerns! I will call you once we get back." Li Yue gave another sweet smile, her eyes crinkling as if she was truly touched by Sun Fengmian's actions.
Sun Fengmian laughed at her words. "How about I treat you to your favorite glace once you get back?"
"Thank you Aunt Feng!" She answered while brimming with enthusiasm before she pulled Mo Li towards the moving crowd. Of course, Li Yue didn't forget to wave Sun Fengmian goodbye as she gave her the most brilliant smile that she had.
Sun Fengmian was also smiling at her as she waved her hands. However, this expression soon changed when she got inside her car.
"Madam," her driver called out. "Would you like us to silence that nobody?"
Sun Fengmian responded with a snort. She had already ordered her subordinates to do a research on Li Yue's background and by now, she knows everything about that woman. Her family's background, her hobbies, personality and even her sleep pattern! "You said it yourself. She's just a nobody." A woman who grew up in the Li Family that was abandoned and left to fend for herself. That is Li Yue. She is no phoenix, she has no backer and a mediocre talent is all she has.
"Killing her would be a waste of our resources." She added.
"Understood."
"Let's go back to the mansion." She said in a cold tone. "How is everything?"
"Our men are already in the mountains. Everything is prepared. They will make it look like an accident."
"Wonderful. As long as it doesn't kill Mo Li."
"Yes Madam."
A beautiful, yet sinister smile slithered onto Sun Fengmian's face. Killing Mo Li would surely arouse the suspicion of his father, Mo Ying. How could Sun Fengmian attract the suspicion of her own husband? She knows how ruthless Mo Ying could be. And she also knew why that man favored that Mo Li who is not even as talented as Mo Fang is!
How hateful!
Sun Fengmian and the Sun Family had been doing everything to tilt Mo Ying's favor to Mo Fang. However, in Mo Ying's eyes, his eldest son is the most brilliant one. He even named him as the successor to his multinational business corporation when Mo Li turned sixteen!
"That abomination needs to die soon!" she gritted her teeth. However, she also knew that she could not really kill Mo Li. Once Mo Li dies, all of Sun Fengmian's secrets including the fact that she had been cheating on her husband will be revealed. Or at least that's what the insufferable bastard Mo Li said when Sun Fengmian attempted to use Bai Lan to poison his food previously.
Even now, Sun Fengmian could still vividly remember the expressionless look on Mo Li's face as she strangled her. He was sixteen! For crying out loud, Mo Li was only sixteen at that time! How could a sixteen year old teenager strangle an older woman as if it was nothing? Sun Fengmian shivered involuntarily. She then shook the thoughts out of her head.
All she could do now is hope that the accident will injure Mo Li to the point where he is disqualified from the position of heir. It would be good if he fell into a atose or something like that. By then, she would tell her husband to consider Mo Fang for the position.
The thought of his poor, unfavored son made her face morphed into an ugly scowl. Mo Fang was obviously better than Mo Li in all aspects! He should be the one leading the Mo Family in the future. not that sadistic bastard Mo Li!
"Make sure they don't kill Mo Li." She repeated her words. Killing Mo Li would make her and Mo Fang the primary suspect. All she could do is make that bastard suffer.
"Yes Madam."
Sun Fengmian nodded. All the preparations are set in place. Even her script once she discovers that Mo Li got into an accident is already prepared. All she needs to do now, is wait.
