My Scheming Little Devil
Chapter 520: She Wants to Escape_1
These three men who had all been involved with her closely appeared in the same place.
Ye Lu felt as though her blood had frozen, awkward to the point of paralysis. The two men in the scene saw her and looked shocked, smothering her with their sullen gaze as she stood behind Third Young Master Jun.
The atmosphere turned strange all of a sudden. The stifling feeling made her chest uncomfortable and a sensation of unease made her anxious.
Why were Gu Yan and Shang Jingchen here? No, the question should be why she was here?
This was an important business meeting. It was normal for these cock of the walks to participate. And yet, here was she, a mere employee. Her boss should have brought the vice-president, but he replaced the vice-president with her at the last minute.
She faintly sensed this was a scheme in motion and her face turned ashen.
She was scared, petrified even. She was averse to facing any sudden turn of events or accidents. Instinctively, she tried to retreat, to spin on her heel and leave the place as fast as possible.
She didn’t want to face them. All she wanted was to escape.
"Where do you think you’re going?" Third Young Master Jun held onto her wrist with a freezing grip. "To run off without even greeting old acquaintances would be rather impolite, don’t you agree?"
Ye Lu took a sharp breath, panicked, her gaze filled with fear. "What are you trying to do? I don’t want to go there. Let go of me."
"Oh? So you can’t confront your past deeds or the people who were part of it? Are you that afraid of them? Or do you have a guilty conscience?" Third Young Master Jun’s palm held her like a vice, his eyes filled with sarcasm.
"I’m here because you convinced the boss to bring me, didn’t you?" she realized suddenly.
"Correct, Ye Lu. You’ve toyed with so many men. Now we three fools are convening. Make for quite the club of victims, doesn’t it? Events such as this are rare. Don’t you think?"
"You’re insane," Ye Lu glared at him, her heart frozen in fear. She was certain his actions were malicious. She didn’t even know what frightening act he would resort to next.
But Third Young Master Jun was too domineering. He gripped her hand and brought her before Gu Yan, who was pale, and Shang Jingchen, whose face was tense.
"What a coincidence that we all meet in such a way." Third Young Master Jun laughed strangely.
The other attendees, all noticing the shift in atmosphere, turned to look. They were taken aback - these three notoriously unmixable men had collided.
They were all upper-class individuals, aware of the grudges and love-hate relationships among these three men - a tale of ups and downs, climax after climax. It was an entirely unbelievable saga.
In the past, sparks would fly whenever two of the men bumped into each other.
Now, it was all three and the atmosphere was electric, a feeling of gloom and doom filling the air. It was as shocking as it could get.
The crowd was inexplicably excited as these were three well-known and influential businessmen. It was like a combustion waiting to happen.
"Third Young Master Jun! I’ll never forget the humiliation you brought to the Shang family," sneered Shang Jingchen, filled with hatred.
Third Young Master Jun’s laughter was dismissive. "Shang, what are you talking about? If you don’t have the strength, learn to lose gracefully. Posturing like this is rather unsightly. Ye Lu, wouldn’t you agree? You used to be a director of the Shang family. You should be advising your ex-husband here. Hold your temper or you’ll lose even worse in the future."
At his words, Ye Lu’s face turned white.
