My Scheming Little Devil

Yet Ye Lu refused.

"You said that my divorce from Yuan Jiayin was the condition for you to sell back to me."

"Firstly, you haven’t divorced her yet, and secondly, the conditions you unwillingly met before are different from now. Now that Yuan Jiayin’s reputation has fallen to such a low level, your divorce is only for your own benefit. Even if I didn’t threaten you with the shares, you would divorce anyway."

"You go back on your word..." Shang Jingchen stormed out angrily.

Ye Lu huffed silently, until her divorce with Yuan Jiayin was finalized, anything could happen. How could she be so foolish?

"It seems, you plan to sell to me."

Third Young Master Jun appeared out of nowhere.

Ye Lu: "When did I say I was selling to you?"

"You said the game was a condition."

Ye Lu smirked coldly: "You reminded me, don’t forget it was a game from the start. Now, let me remind you, what I said was, if you agree, I might consider selling to you. It’s just consideration, not certainty. Third Young Master Jun, have you forgotten that?"

Third Young Master Jun looking frustrated, chuckled incredulously after a while.

"If you don’t sell to Shang Jingchen, then you can only sell to me. Because no matter who you sell to other than him, I can make sure it ends up in my hands. You’re smart, selling directly to me, you could maximize your gains."

His demeanor reeked of an unbearable arrogance.

Ye Lu lowered her eyes, he was brash, but he was correct. If the shares fell into the hands of another company, he definitely would be able to retrieve them.

"Then, I will keep them in my possession."

"That won’t benefit you at all; the money can’t materialize, you’re only making trouble for yourself."

"So what? I simply won’t sell them to you." Ye Lu responded emphatically.

Third Young Master Jun said: "Do you have to be against me? I would love to see how you can keep what I want."

"You have gone too far." Ye Lu’s fists tightened, but this time, no matter what, she would not lose to him.

She turned to leave.

But was stopped by Third Young Master Jun: "Wait, you’d better not go now. Yuan Jiayin has brought a bunch of reporters outside waiting for you, to confront you."

Ye Lu frowned, that woman was stirring up trouble again.

"Don’t look so unconcerned, given she brought so many reporters and chose to do it during the conference, it shows that she’s confident she can bring you down completely, she’ll maximize the scandal. If you face her alone, it could be extremely dangerous."

"When did Third Young Master Jun start caring about my safety?" She scoffed.

"I can help you settle this matter, get you out safely, and completely free you from her harassment."

"And then your condition is for me to sell the shares to you? You truly know how to exploit a crisis, but I refuse to be threatened by you." Ye Lu laughed coldly.

Third Young Master Jun frowned: "Ye Lu, why are you so stubborn? Even if you disregard your own safety, wouldn’t you consider the safety of the child in your belly? Aren’t you afraid something might happen?"

The mention of the child hit Ye Lu like a punch, her eyes instantly turned cold, and she retorted angrily:

"Do you have the right to mention my child? Whether it lives or dies, it doesn’t need your concern."

What she was trying so hard to protect was also his flesh and blood, yet he was now using the safety of the child to achieve his goals.

She found it so ironic.

"So, are you refusing my help?"

"Yes." She rejected coldly.

This so-called help only made her colder.

"You can’t even handle Yuan Jiayin, how can you handle me? Your stubbornness will only hurt you worse." Seeing her stubborn look, a wave of anger welled up within him as he sneered dismissively.
