The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 85 Ruthless People!

Chapter 85 Ruthless People!

"So, why do you think I ruined the painting? Why the hell would I do that?" Li Yue asked.

"I said... I don’t know!"

"Miss Lu Xinyi... let me remind you that this party is being broadcasted to the whole Yin City. Are you sure you are willing to take the brunt once they know the truth?"

Lu Xinyi narrowed her eyes before a smirk appeared in her face. No one would have guessed that they were only using this opportunity to take care of Li Yue and Li Weiwei.

After the recent scandal, Lu Xinyi immediately knew that both Li Weiwei and Li Yue were working together against her and her cousin. So, they planned to get rid of the two together.

"Hmp! What else!? Isn’t it because you want to frame Li Weiwei?" This time it was Lizzy Lu who answered. "Look at the phone, clearly you are wearing Li Weiwei’s clothes and you also have the same hairstyle! If the attendant didn’t personally see your face, then one would think the one who ruined the painting was Li Weiwei and not you!" A cruel smirk appeared on Lu Xinyi’s face.

"Review the CCTV." The mayor’s voice echoed. "Check the time and date." He said. Of course, the mayor knew that this was nothing but a scheme. However, if he would just watch an act like this did not concern him, people would think that he was partial to Li Yue because of his nephew.

The mayor was still the man who ruled this city. Thus, he needed to act.

And just as expected, a woman with the same clothes was indeed seen going inside and outside of the hall at that time. However, since the woman was wearing a cap, no one knew what she really looked like. Seeing this, a lot of people started whispering among themselves.

"Wasn’t this Li Yue the fake phoenix from the Li Family? The one on the news lately?"

"So she wanted to frame Li Weiwei?"

"If the two are not really close then the rumors about Li Weiwei... could possibly be..."

"Shush... shut your mouth."

Li Yue’s upper lip twitched when she heard the rich people’s words. She could feel their sharp gazes towards her. A sigh escaped her lips. "So... you are saying that I ruined my own painting?"

Silence followed Li Yue’s words.

"What did you say?" Lu Xinyi raised her voice. It seemed that her ears heard the wrong thing. "Repeat your words!"

"Why should I? You heard me right the first time." Li Yue said. So, the real goal was to actually make Li Weiwei hate Li Yue. Lu Xinyi and Lizzy Lu were truly cruel. This scheme was also brilliant. Li Yue initially underestimated the scheme and didn’t think too much about it.

"You— So you are this cavewoman?" Lizzy’s face darkened.

"That is indeed right. I am the one who made that painting." Li Yue looked at the Mayor who just nodded, confirming her words. "I made it and I was here to promote myself. Do you think I would ruin a painting and lose all my possible profits just to frame Li Weiwei?"

Sure enough, the people surrounding them started whispering again. Some of them showed surprise as they never thought that the artist that the mayor’s wife had been bragging about since the other month was actually Li Yue. Some of them felt a little complicated, this Li Yue was actually so talented? Wasn’t she known for being haughty and arrogant all those years ago? How could a person change so much?

While some refused to accept the truth, most of them just shook their heads silently. The fact that Li Yue made the painting did not actually prove a thing. So what if she made it? If she really hated Li Weiwei, she could clearly use it to frame her! Who knows how much hate Li Yue had for the woman who made her suffer?

Lu Xinyi and Lizzy Lu’s complexion paled. Both didn’t expect this development at all. However, this was only a small mishap. Soon, the two regained their composure. "So what if you made the painting? Isn’t that a good reason to cover yourself? The CCTV does not lie and the attendant clearly said it’s you." Lizzy’s voice echoed. "All of us were classmates when we were in high school. We all saw how much you loved Xia Jin. We also know how arrogant you are! However, Li Weiwei took everything from you! Isn’t that something worth scheming for?"

Li Yue shook her head inwardly. Indeed. The one on the video had her frame, the same hair color that was visible even under the cap. This only proved how much effort does Lu Xinyi and Lizzy Lu had actually put in just to make her suffer!

What a waste of their scheming brains. Li Yue let out a snort loud enough to make Lizzy freeze.

Was Li Yue laughing? Why was she laughing?

"You know... you are right. The fact that I made the painting does not mean that I was not the one who destroyed it." LI Yue smiled before looking at Li Weiwei. Li Yue bravely met the female lead’s resolute gaze. She knew Li Weiwei wanted to defend her right now. However, the hand on her waist was enough to tell Li Yue that Xia Jin was preventing her from doing so.

As expected of the male lead, he was the only one who could stop the female lead.

Heh. But who needs their help? Li Yue wanted to curse inwardly. She actually had a way to prove her innocence. At that same time... Mo Li’s team of glam personnel knocked on her hotel room. Then the group of people started preparing her like a pig! How could she forget the pain from the waxing that she suffered all over her body! Eyebrows, face, neck, back, arms, legs! Everywhere! Those ruthless people!

Just the thought of those teams made Li Yue’s face turn red. She looked at Lu Xinyi and Lizzy Lu. "Sadly for you two... I can prove that I was not here at that time!"
