Chapter 512 (2/2)

Su Li attempted a subtle hint, “My Lady, people from where I came from are country bumpkins. Are you sure you should be bringing along something so valuable?”

Zhao Youyue smiled. “I don’t see anything valuable. With this, however, everything would be alright.” She held no staff in her hands; it was a sharp, deadly sword.

Su Li entered the bus with Zhao Youyue and almost immediately started scanning the bus for big, beefy men. She could not help thinking that they might be the legendary bodyguards in plain clothes, protecting Lady Zhao and her valuable staff at all times…

Zhao Youyue was all alone on this day. She was now highly confident in her capabilities of defending herself. Thanks to “Xu Jing card’s” highly reliable learning ability, she could perform a complete series of sword dances, even without her “Jane Doe Su card.” Switching on the card would only elevate her abilities into something else entirely. The only problem was the consequential sequel titled, “Her empty, drained body.”

If Su Li ever learned that Zhao Youyue was without her guards, she would have freaked out. In her mind, Lady Zhao was the perfect rich Lady. Perfect rich ladies got themselves kidnapped all the time. Even her bodyguards had to be as perfect as she was, capable of keeping up with cars on foot. Of course, Lady Zhao would be completely safe at all times.

Su Li’s imagination was really something…

“My Lady, I thought you would be difficult to please, with extremely high standards. You are so grand that the world shies away from your glory. I’ve never expected such a day to come, sitting together with you on a bus.” Su Li choked out emotionally. Within her mind, Zhao Youyue was forever elegant and poised. Her standards of living had to be nothing short of perfect.

“I think you’ve been deceived, Sister Li. I”m only pretending to be like a Lady. It’s a trend these days – adding a character setting to yourself. Only a good actor could get the paparazzi and the spotlight. If not, nobody would spare you a second glance,” Zhao Youyue tinkled through another one of her dazzling smiles.

“My Lady, you’re just saying that to make me feel good again. I understand. You don’t want to get me lost in guilt. Once we get there, I’ll definitely treat you nicely. My sisters are extremely cute, you’ll see!” said Su Li firmly.

Zhao Youyue sighed helplessly. She was actually telling the truth. She had a passerby side that Su Li could never fathom. She was a Lady in name, but to others, she was just an ordinary girl —— She was just too unassuming to be anything more.

That all changed when she started imitating the “Lady characters” within novels and mangas, fulfilling stereotypes to the left and right. Meeting up with business associates such as writers and creators in her limo did not help either. It gave them inspiration and real-life references. “As expected of a Lady. That’s a real-life Lady, larger than life there…”

Su Li had no doubts about it. Now that Lady Zhao was walking about with a gemstone staff, all she lacked was a crown on her head!

All of this was a hoax. The real Zhao Youyue had none of these traits.

The only genuine part about her was her desire for something.

If she desired for people to view her as a lady, she could make it happen. If she desired for people to view her as impoverished, she could make it happen. Those character cards that had become a part of her blurred the line between an act and reality.

As she had predicted, the journey quickly came to pass as she chatted happily with Su Li, while keeping her fingers busy on the screen of her phone.
