I woke up as the Villainous Empress

40 Fake Friend vs True Friend?

Ye Lei snickered to see the shocked and betrayed expressions on Fang Li’s face. There was a time when she used to feel upset when something used to bother Fang Li.

However, not anymore.

The coach of the other team was right. If she stays by Fang Li’s side, then she will always be called Fang Li’s sidekick or her shadow and will never be able to make her name in sports.

Fang Li has a supportive family who loves her and supports her while doing sports.

However, she only has herself.

Unlike Fang Li’s family, her family doesn’t care about her nor support her career in sports.

They only think of her as an unfilial daughter who has failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a daughter as she hasn’t married anyone yet.

She is going to be 25 years old this year. She is of the same age as Fang Li, however, her family expects her to get married already and have kids.

Why do they think that she will not be able to do anything in life and her only goal should be to get married and have kids afterward?

.....

She does not want that kind of life. She will not only play sports but also make a fortune out of it.

That’s why she has to work harder than anyone and prove to them that she can do well and will make her name and career as the top athlete in archery.

That she is better than their beloved son, who is more into playing games than following his dreams. They failed to become good parents to her but she will become a filial daughter who will give them the experience of a luxurious lifestyle that they never got to experience once in a lifetime.

To do all that, she needed to get away from Fang Li. Because if she stays by her side, she will remain as her sidekick or her shadow.

After this competition, she will work hard so that no one can catch up to her. From now on, she will not be Fang Li’s sidekick anymore but will work hard to become the top Archer of the country, Ye Lei.

” Fang Li, don’t waste your time and energy on me. It’s not going to help you. Try to save your failing career which has no hope whatsoever.” Ye Lei smirked and poked a finger on Fang Li’s forehead, forcing her to step back.

“Tsk. Tsk. Poor Fang Li.” She looked at her with fake heartbreaking expressions and ridiculed her miserable circumstances.

” Ahh...Argh....What are you doing?” Ye Lei groaned in pain when Fang Li grasped the finger from which she was poking at her forehead and crooked her finger forcefully causing her to welp in pain.

” WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? AHHH.....LEAVE MY HAND. I SAID LEAVE MY HAND!!” Ye Lei screamed at Fang Li who had lost her mind and was ruthlessly bending her finger, causing her extreme pain and discomfort.

“First of all, I am holding your finger only. Not your hand.” Fang Li scoffed to see her crying in pain and eventually let go of her disgusting finger. Who even wants to touch a finger who has tried to frame her for something she hasn’t even committed?

” Ye Lei, you must be thinking that by framing me for doping you have done something great.” She said while looking into Ye Lei’s eyes who couldn’t even dare to handle her intimidating gaze and eventually had to look away.

” Why? Why aren’t you looking in my eyes? Look at me! If you have done something outstanding, then don’t be a coward and LOOK INTO MY EYES.” Fang Li grabbed Ye Lei’s arms and forced her to stand straight and look into her eyes and not back away from her.

“Do...do you think I am scared of you? Hah! You’re still living in your dreamland.” Ye Lei scoffed while keeping her strong pretense in front of Fang Li.

However, for how long can she continue to pretend to be strong when she is the one in the wrong?

Fang Li scoffed to see her still trying to save her face and it was her turn to poke her on the head. ” Do you know why you framed me for doping? Because you’re INCAPABLE.”

” You know that you can never beat me in the competition and out pass me. That’s why you used a dirty trick to snatch my number one position.”

” But guess what? You can never replace me, forget about outpassing me. Because whenever you play in the competition, you will be reminded of me. Why?”

” Because I was the one who used to help you to practice all this while. That’s why you were second and I was FIRST. It would be an achievement if you could continue to keep your position without me. Otherwise, with your lousy techniques and lazy working attitude, you don’t even deserve the position of third in the game. You get that?”.

Ye Lei’s complexion turned pale at the hard bomb facts that Fang Li was dropping on her. She would not have minded her words if she was simply babbling nonsense out of anger.

However, every word that has come out of her mouth was true. The truth hurts the most, and that’s what Fang Li was doing.

If she cannot attack her physically, she will use the hard facts to do the deed. Ye Lei might have tried to frame her by setting a trap for her, however, she does not need to stoop so low to deal with her.

Because as she said, they were never equals. She used to think that they are friends and used to go out of her way to help others, but that’s enough.

She is only good to those who are good to her. However, if Ye Lei has chosen the path of betrayal, then does she need to be friendly with her anymore?

Seeing the cowardly, scared expressions of Ye Lei, Fang Li was feeling satisfied. If she had remained as her friend, then she would have helped her to become the best archer in the country. Because that’s what sportsmanship is, growing together, not alone.

However, Ye Lei failed to understand the fundamental definition of sports and sportsmanship.

If she has decided to go the wrong way, she needs to show her the mirror of the truth. So that she will wake up and will not ruin her career, just like she ruined hers.

Because the coach of the opposition team was using her weak mental power to make Ye Lie go against her team and betray her best friend before the match, ruining her career.

Rather than getting angry at her, she was feeling pity for her. Because more than her, Ye Lei was the most miserable here.

She has only lost a fake friend who was capable of betraying her in the back. But Ye Lei has lost her true friend who was like an invisible strength of hers.

But she has lost that strength to her greed as well.

Poor her.
