《The Villain's Redemption》Chapter 2 - Li Family’s Heiress
Advertisement
News regarding the real identity of Li Family's heiress immediately reached the ears of the socialite in Yin City. The Li family rarely showed themselves in public, but many knew them as one of the richest in the city. With lots of mining operations all over the country, the Li Family is revered for the diamonds, sapphires and other rare stones they showcased in a yearly auction.
"I heard in this year's auction, the real heir will be revealed." One student in the cafe stated. Her malicious eyes darted towards Li Yue who was calmly sitting a few tables away from her.
"What do you think will happen to the previously declared heir?" she asked the person sitting in front of her.
"No idea." The other person shrugged.
"Well… that Li Yue used to act so high and mighty, looking down on everyone just because she thought her family was better." The woman sneered, the volume of her voice increased each time she spoke.
"What is she going to do now?"
Hearing the malice hidden within the woman's voice, Li Yue let out a sigh before she turned her gaze away. The original Li Yue was a proud woman who would not hesitate to bully others. She looked down on everyone who doesn't have the same status as her and all in all, she was just a really nasty person, someone you would not want to be associated with.
"Yue?"
Li Yue immediately turned towards the man who sat in front of her. She gave him a sweet smile.
"What took you so long?" she asked. In response, a sad smile broke into her fiancée's face.
"My parents…"
"So, you've heard?"
"Everyone did." Just like every perfect male lead, Xia Jin was the epitome of beauty. With his long eyelashes sitting on his pale skin and his brows which were sculpted by the gods, the man looked just like a perfect Adonis. No wonder the female lead liked him immediately after seeing him for the first time. "So… you wanted to talk to me?"

"I want to break up." Li Yue said with a straight face.
He stared at her for a few seconds. "Is it because of her?"
"She's your real fiancée." She started digging into her cake. "Not me."
"But— "
"Jin… I don't think it is fair for her. She had already grown up in a different household. She needs someone to be there for her." She feigned another smile.
The female lead is nothing but a clumsy woman who would always accidentally spill her water or whatever she is holding onto the male lead's head. With this level of clumsiness, she won't survive in this world without the male lead's help.
"Are you serious about this? Yue… we've been in a relationship for over a year now. Are you really going to leave me because— "he let out a sharp sigh before continuing. "Did aunt and uncle Li force you into doing this?" he frowned. "I'll talk with them. If you want— "
"No. I've decided to stay away from them. I won't be living in the mansion and my bank cards are already with them. From now on, I'll be living on my savings until I graduate from high school in a few months— "
"What?" he furrowed his brows. "When did you move? And why didn't you tell me about this?" his dark complexion turned even darker.
She pursed her lips in response. Xia Jin might sound really sweet and caring now. However, in the original world, he would still betray her for Li Weiwei. This made Li Yue furious, turning her into a horrid person who was then used by the villain to break up the two. In the end, she died in the hands of Xia Jin's subordinate while he and Li Weiwei peacefully enjoyed their honeymoon on a remote island somewhere.

Of course, she does not hate Xia Jin for this; her rational mind would not allow it. After all, the original Li Yue was really horrible to Li Weiwei. This constant bullying made Xia Jin hate Li Yue and sympathize with Li Weiwei instead.
"They're still trying to contact me." Li Yue said. "They're the ones who raised me and I'm completely grateful for what they did, but I didn't want to ruin their reunion with their real daughter so I left a few days ago. I'm staying in a small apartment just outside the campus now." She let out a sad sigh. "I'm sorry Jin. I can't do this anymore. I'm sure your parents will insist that you marry her. I just want to save you the trouble."
A flash of guilt became apparent in his eyes. Just like what Li Yue said, his parents were already discussing this matter. In fact, that was the reason why he was late to their meeting today. "I'm sorry… Yue…"
"Why are you sorry?" she smiled. The original Li Yue might have been a bully to others but none sweeter could she be towards this man. However, the real Li Yue is long gone, she could not maintain this sweet charade any longer. That was one of the reasons why she decided to break up. Playing sweet with this man… stressed her out to no end, it's making her irritated!
She feigned a sad sigh. "I understand, Jin. Don't worry about it. I hope you will find your happiness with her."
Xia Jin returned her sad smile. "I truly care for you Yue… if… Don't worry, I'll try to convince my parents— "
"No need." She interrupted him. "Don't get into an argument just because of me. I'm fine. I will move on and… I will forget about you soon." Seeing Xia Jin nod, Li Yue did not waste any more time. She immediately left the cafe after paying for her cake. After all, there are still a lot of things she needs to do— like looking for the villain of this world.
