Ye Lu felt nervous, but she stared into his deep eyes, smiling as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Why not? I’m just afraid you’re too weak."

ThirdYoung Master Jun narrowed his long eyes, lowered his head, his lips brushed past her earlobe, his voice bewitchingly deep, "Ye Lu, you’re playing with fire."

"I maybe playing with fire, but it doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll get burned, Third Young Master. Are you incapable of playing the game?"

"I’m afraid you aren’t capable of playing." He gently stroked her trembling skin, gave a cold laugh, "Because this time, you may not be as lucky as before, to truly understand what playing a game means!"

He moved slightly, abruptly letting her go just as the elevator dinged open. He stepped out without looking back.

Ye Lu leaned weakly against the elevator wall, her face flushed, her heart pounding wildly.

She scoffed, there wasn’t a game she hadn’t played. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

She straightened her clothes and calmly stepped out of the elevator onto the next floor.

After recording the show for more than two hours, Ye Lu rested for half an hour. By then, it was noon. As she watched the television station broadcast her program, a sarcastic smile crossed her lips.

She could imagine how big an impact such an expose at such a critical moment would have on Shang Jingchen and the Shang Family.

She couldn’t resist opening the stock market app on her phone. Sure enough, after the broadcast, the Shang Family’s shares began to fluctuate violently.

The stocks that had been rising for the past few days due to Yuan Jiayin’s matters, plunged dramatically after the broadcast, creating a panic that shook investor confidence, prompting many to start selling their Shang Family shares.

"Huh, Shang Jingchen, this time I’m hitting you where it hurts. Yuan Jiayin, let’s see if your husband chooses the country or the beauty now." Ye Lu laughed coldly.

Both Yuan Jiayin and Shang Jingchen thought she was a fool and oppressed her in every way. They assumed she could only resort to these tactics, but they forgot, she still held a powerful trump card.

Before, she had been considerate of the old man. Now that they’ve pushed her to the limit, they can’t blame her for not being polite.

...

"Sijia, I really have to thank you for leveraging the Jun Family’s influence in the media. Otherwise, no matter how authentic my performance, without the media creating a buzz, I wouldn’t have been able to win so convincingly."

At this moment, Yuan Jiayin was in high spirits, completely triumphant.

As soon as she saw Shang Jingchen announce on TV that the wedding will proceed as planned, she knew her plot had succeeded. So what if Ye Lu caused a commotion? Could she fight against her? Ha ha ha!

"I’m helping you as much as I’m helping myself. I want to crush her so that she can no longer turn the tide, and lives like an insect." Bai Sijia smirked.

Yuan Jiayin confidently held her hand.

"Rest assured, if we join forces, she can’t snatch our man away. Apart from petty tricks, what else can she stir up? Now my scandal has been turned into a success. The media you brought turned me into a model filled with positive energy. If she tries to attack me with these things again, it will be useless, and it will only make people hate her more."

"It’s you who is the smartest, sister. That woman must be hiding in the dark like a rat, afraid to show her face."

"Humph, if she dares to show up, the media will condemn her to death."

The two looked at each other and laughed, their eyes full of triumphant satisfaction. They were convinced that Ye Lu was powerless to retaliate.

They didn’t expect what they’d see when they opened the news.
