My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1024: That’s Not a Filthy Thing
Compared to the humiliation under the public eye, what was even more painful and unbearable was her extreme aversion towards him, like dodging a cockroach in her avoidance.
There was also that little mouth that he adored, uttering the most heart-stabbing words where each sentence pierced deep into his flesh, shaking his soul to the core. His lips, white as paper, trembled, unable to utter a word.
With a snap, she ruthlessly discarded the ring in her hand, which rolled away on the ground.
"This ring disgusts me too. Anything you’ve touched, I find filthy."
Third Young Master Jun’s heart was fiercely stabbed, his fingers trembling as he watched the ring she cast aside like an old shoe, lying on the carpet as though it were his heart thrown onto the ground.
This ring wasn’t filth; it was his love for her!
Even if she didn’t want it, he wanted to keep it safe.
His fingers shook as he stretched out his hand, trying hard to grasp it.
But Ye Lu was a step faster than him, stepping on the ring with her foot.
In an instant, Third Young Master Jun’s face went pale as he stared blankly at her foot, watching it press down on the little ring with the sole of her shoe over and over, right before his eyes.
Until the small diamond was forcefully crushed out of its setting and rolled onto the ground, like trash.
The surroundings fell deathly silent, with the guests looking on in shock, a chill running through their hearts.
Not daring to utter a sound.
Under the lights, Third Young Master Jun was beside himself with grief.
His eyes, filled with unbearable pain, fixated on the small diamond, feeling as though his heart, like the diamond, was crushed like trash by her, his breathing stopped.
How much did it hurt? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
He didn’t know, but at this moment, he would rather die than witness this cruel scene with his own eyes.
"Does it hurt?" Ye Lu looked down at Third Young Master Jun with a mocking cold smile on her lips, her mockery biting, "Someone like you, your sincerity is worthless, your love is the cheapest thing in the world. Propose? In your dreams. I will never agree to you in this lifetime!"
After saying those cold words emotionlessly, she turned and walked away from the banquet with big strides.
Leaving behind a room full of guests in disbelief, and Third Young Master Jun, who had been reduced to kneeling on the ground, covered in scars.
The guests were all silent, looking at Third Young Master Jun with great sympathy.
Being rejected in a marriage proposal wasn’t something unusual, but being publicly rejected and humiliated this harshly was something no man’s pride could bear.
Ye Lu was too cruel, even if she refused the proposal, she didn’t need to say such malicious and hurtful words.
Alas, having been rejected twice, Third Young Master Jun was truly unfortunate to the extreme. After being humiliated like this, he must surely hate Ye Lu now, and it seemed this couple would turn into sworn enemies!
"How could Lu’er be so hurtful? Can’t she see that he is in so much pain?" Old Madam Jun, seeing how heartbroken Third Young Master Jun was, cried in agony.
How could Ye Lu do this, with every single sentence stabbing straight to the heart, causing a bloody mess?
She walked up with a heart full of pain, trying to lift Third Young Master Jun and comfort her suffering grandson.
But Third Young Master Jun quietly pushed her hand away.
Old Madam froze.
But she saw him stubbornly lowering his head, his pale fingers trembling as he picked up that small diamond.
A drop of faint red teardrop fell from the corner of his eye onto the diamond, casting a red glow.
He placed the small diamond in the palm of his hand and clenched it tightly.
Then he carefully returned it to its box.
Standing up, a path cleared for him through the crowd. He didn’t look at anyone as he left in silence, his rigid back carrying an intense sorrow.
Old Madam Jun was shocked and distressed, covering her mouth and sighing deeply.
