My Scheming Little Devil

Ye Lu’s face sank when she saw her.

This woman alarmed Yuan Jiayin and conspired against her. She is the fiancée of Third Young Master Jun. Although she can’t touch her for now, it doesn’t mean she will forget this grudge.

"Dressed so shabbily, you are not here to attend the banquet, are you? This is such a letdown." Those ladies, looking at Ye Lu’s plain outfit, jeered.

Bai Sijia sneered: "How could it be possible? Is such a low-class pauper like her even qualified to partake a banquet held by a queen? Even if she wanted to fish in troubled waters, she can’t reach this place."

Those ladies became curious, "Eh, Sijia, do you know her?"

"Of course I know her. This woman tried to seduce my fiancé. She, being pregnant with another man’s child, tried to intimidate and arrogantly asked Third Young Master Jun to abandon me and marry her."

"Oh my God, this mistress really is shameless. These lower-class women indeed have dirty tactics; they can do anything."

Those young ladies exclaimed in surprise, then they looked at Ye Lu with disdain.

Ye Lu’s face grew paler with anger, but she knew it was not to her advantage to cause a scene here.

"So, what happened next? Did Third Young Master agree to it?"

Bai Sijia smirked proudly at Ye Lu. "How could he? What kind of person is king? He does not look upon every woman. King was only playing with her, he treated her like garbage, played with her, then discarded her, he never thought of marrying her. It is her who indulged in her wishful thinking and even dared to swagger before me. Finally, she was driven out, and her tear-streaked face was ridiculous."

"Indeed, Sister Sijia is tough. She held onto the heart of Third Young Master and did not let this bitch succeed."

"Nonsense, is she on the same level as me? I come from a distinguished family, and she is nothing but a manipulative slut who relies on men for promotion."

Bai Sijia arrogantly strolled up to Ye Lu, with a tone intended for mockery.

"What are you doing here, do you know that king is coming, so you want to shamelessly pester him again? Last time you offered yourself and king refused you. Now you want to do it again? Dream on. King would not even spare you a glance."

After saying this, Bai Sijia left triumphantly with a few ladies. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Ye Lu clenched her fingers tightly.

"Mommy, did she also insult you like this that night?" Anger brimmed in Ye Yuan’s big eyes. He could almost picture the scene where this woman brutally insulted his mother when she was heartbroken.

"Yuanyuan, I will deal with her sooner or later." She will not let go any of those who harmed the child in her belly.

"Mommy, wait a minute, I’m going to buy something."

After a while, Ye Yuan returned back. As Ye Lu was about to ask him what he did, she saw Third Young Master Jun arriving. He was chitchatting with a group of foreign diplomats, but he didn’t even glance at her as he walked past her.

Ye Lu wore an expressionless face.

Ye Yuan was very upset. He didn’t even bother to glance at mommy.

After their group passed by, more people came. When Ye Lu was somewhat disappointed and felt that she might not be able to find the duke tonight, she saw him in formal attire alighting from the car without a female companion.

Ye Lu hurriedly waved at him. He slightly squinted with a surprised look, but still walked over.

"I am here to thank you for saving my life." Ye Lu was really grateful.

But Hai Lanse laughed indifferently: "You saved yourself; I didn’t intend to save you initially. It was your courage that saved you."

Ye Lu stared with wide eyes. This man was truly honest. Even if he didn’t want to save her, he did so anyway. At least he could pretend a bit. Weren’t Europeans supposed to be gentlemen?

That’s it for today’s updates.
