My Scheming Little Devil
Chapter 1316: Provoked
A mocking voice, cold as ice, quietly emerged from Ye Lu’s lips, yet it burst through the entire banquet like thunder, leaving everyone speechless and wide-eyed.
It caused an uproar.
To think that Su Feiman actually intended to kill the heir of the Hua family right before their eyes, was news explosive enough to shake the world.
But what astonished all present even more was the fact that Ye Lu had the audacity to reveal this matter in front of everyone. Truth be told, in high society, it’s not unheard of for people to hire assassins to eliminate their rivals, shocking as it may be.
However, even knowing such maneuvers exist, ordinary people wouldn’t dare mention such things in these circumstances. But this, this newly emerged Eldest Miss Hua, her way of handling things was indeed shocking and outrageous, leaving people unable to defend against it.
The guests had varied expressions, but the way they looked at Ye Lu had shifted from initial pity and sympathy to a touch of awe.
This kind of woman was certainly no pushover; when gentle, she was extremely tender, but when she took a strong stance, her aggressiveness and fighting power were unexpectedly fierce, and her courage was extraordinary.
She was directly confronting Su Feiman, tearing off all pretenses and issuing a challenge. It seemed tonight’s banquet was indeed not a wasted trip, full of thrilling climaxes!
Startled, Hua Lunxi pressed down on Ye Lu’s hand: "Lu’er, you..."
He wanted to persuade her to not act impulsively. After all, a godfather is no ordinary man. To rip off his face like this, not giving him a way out, it could be unimaginable if the godfather turned hostile.
But Ye Lu pressed down his hand in return, shaking her head gently at him as her eyes said: I know what I’m doing.
Hua Lunxi could only keep his emotions in check, his heart fraught with worry. Her courage was truly... sigh, she really was her uncle’s flesh and blood, with the same temperament as him, always making startling remarks!
"Ye Lu, have you gone mad? This is slander, do you think because the godfather is good-tempered, he will tolerate your nonsense? You could be sued for defamation, you’re shaming the Hua family and disgracing us," Yiren raised her voice sharply, her expression as if she was the one being slandered.
In truth, Yiren was extremely angry, not for Su Feiman, but because she had not anticipated Ye Lu’s actions at all and was even unable to keep up with this woman’s train of thought. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
She felt anxious and uneasy, convinced Ye Lu had some scheme in mind, yet she couldn’t figure it out.
What made her even more furious was that Ye Lu dared to speak such shocking words in front of everyone. Whether true or false, just the courage and surprise of this woman was enough to capture the greatest attention of everyone present, successfully shocking each person and leaving a deep impression.
Without doubt, after tonight’s battle, the name Ye Lu, for better or worse, would become legendary in North America’s high society.
She was unwilling to accept that Ye Lu had stolen the limelight tonight, overshadowing her own presence, making everyone remember this woman and forget her. This competitive spirit and jealousy enraged her.
Ye Lu snorted lightly, "Ha, sister, why be so agitated? If my actions are inappropriate, wouldn’t that be to your advantage? After all, we sisters are competing. The worse I come off, the better your chances of winning, so why the pretense and self-righteous indignation?"
"You..." Yiren was infuriated by her words, but seeing the guests casting weird glances at them, she snorted, turned her face away, and fell silent.
This woman truly has gone mad. Fine then, let the madness continue.
"Ye Lu, aren’t you afraid of making me angry?" Su Feiman said with a cold and murderous look on his face.
