Except for Li Yue, everyone in the room had sour expressions on their faces. The atmosphere was beyond tense. However, this only lasted for a few seconds. As expected of a villainous family, Li Yue thought silently. This family sure is full of foxes and wolves. She watched as the scowl on Sun Fengmian's face vanished and was replaced by a sweet and gentle smile.

"Mo Li… "She walked towards Mo Li. "You really shouldn't talk to your stepmother like that. If you hate me for forcing you to stop being an idol and go to school instead, I can accept that. However, you should know that I only wish the best for you. Without education, how will you manage your father's business in the future?" She then turned to look at the silent Li Yue. Without waiting for Mo Li to answer her, she continued. "And who is this pretty lady?"

"My girlfriend."

"Really?" Sun Fengmian faked a surprised gasp. "My… My… such a beauty." She walked towards Li Yue's side and immediately gave her a tight hug. "It seems that you and Mo Fang are becoming adults faster than I thought. Aigoo… this… this is truly heartbreaking." She let go of Li Yue. "I would miss the two little boys running around the garden in the morning. And the— "

"Why are you here?" Mo Li asked. His gaze, however was glued on Mo Fang who was still standing by the door. "And who let you in?"

"Father told us to visit you. It's a holiday so we thought we should drop by and spend some time to have lunch with you." Mo Fang said. "I'll be returning overseas soon to begin my internship before I start college in a few months. Father wanted us to meet."

Li Yue looked at Mo Fang and tried to recall anything that the original body knows about this man. After all, the original Li Yue was a very capable 'researcher'. After a few seconds, she nodded silently. So this Mo Fang was actually home schooled and was a kid sheltered by his mother. Unlike Mo Li who had been a star ever since he was a kid, Mo Fang was silent and sickly? But that information does not seem to make any sense at all.

The rumors floating around said that Mo Fang and Mo Li are not very close because Mo Fang is actually more intelligent than Mo Li. However, her mother wanted to hide this fact because she feared that Mo Li would hurt his younger brother. Despite all this, Sun Fengmian was still very nice to Mo Li and would always think of the best for the man.

Wait… this is like a script! Li Yue's eyes brightened as she listened to Mo Li and Mo Fang skillfully insulting each other. They were not even trying to be subtle about it. Clearly, the two held grudges against each other! However, the rumors or at least the one that Li Yue got didn't mention that Mo Fang was actually this… brave in front of his elder brother. In fact, it was the other way around.

So the rumors were actually made by Sun Fengmian to ruin Mo Li's reputation to make his son the star in the society of the rich's eyes. But why is Mo Li not fighting back? It was simply because his father, Mo Ying already named Mo Li as his successor. And that is why Mo Li would actually dare talk like this to Sun Fengmian.

"I'm not interested in having lunch with you and your mother." Mo Li said. "It would be better for you to leave."

"Aigoo… this boy has started throwing tantrums again. We've already bought the best ingredients and the chef has already started cooking. I also need to send your father some images of us enjoying each other's company. Can't you just do me a favour and pretend for a few hours?" Sun Fengmian's answer didn't make any sense to Li Yue. She lowered her head, confusion apparent in her eyes as she wondered what the hell is even going on here.

She shook her head inwardly. It seems that Mo Li's family is much more complicated than she originally thought. But this should not be any of her business, right? She already knows the reason why Mo Li would fall for the female lead is due to the accident while camping. All she needs to do now is have him avoid that accident and Mo Li is not going to like that female lead.

Thus, he would not have any reason to kill the male lead. That was Li Yue's sole mission and she is not planning to dabble into the Mo Family's business at all. Just the thought of this scary family casually clawing at each other with words made her feel chills run down the back of her neck.

That is right. She, Li Yue does not have the money or influence to fight against a family like that. There is no need for her to get involved in the Mo Family's matters.

"Now that your girlfriend is here… why don't you tell us more about her? Is she from another influential family in the country?" Sun Fengmian asked innocently as she looked at Li Yue. "May I know your name, young lady?" She added.

"I am Li Yue." She answered almost immediately. "And I am only a peasant." She said with a straight face. "I'm not from any rich family in this country."

[Side Quest: Make Sun Fengmian Drunk. Reward: 10 Coins. Accept?]

Li Yue blinked as she held back her laughter from the robot's unusual quest. Really? Make Sun Fengmian drunk? Just what kind of quest is that? 'Accept' she muttered inwardly. Of course, she will accept the mission! This is her chance to gain more coins!

"Really?" A flash of disgust floated in Sun Fengmian's eyes. "So… where did you meet Mo Li?"

[Side Quest: Make Mo Fang laugh. Reward: 10 Coins. Accept?]

'Eh?' Li Yue could not help but get confused. Make Mo Fang laugh? What kind of quests are these?

"She is our top student." Mo Li's voice echoed. "We are classmates."

"Top… student." Sun Fengmian repeated. "Mo Fang… come here and join us. This young lady here should be extremely smart. Why don't you come and play with her for a while?"

Seeing how the situation had developed, Li Yue already had tears pooling in her eyes. What top student? What smart? If this Mo Fang is as smart as the rumors say, that would only mean… she is screwed! 'Alright. I accept the mission' she lamented. If she could not impress them with her 'smartness', maybe she could just try to impress them with her 'stupidity'?
