My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1055: To Humiliate Him to the Utmost
"Rest assured, I will guarantee Ye Lu’s safety. You also know my feelings for her—it’s indeed impossible for me to kill her. But I have no sympathy for your two babies. Don’t test my patience. If I find out you’ve sent someone to rescue her, I won’t guarantee the safety of the child in her womb!"
ThirdYoung Master Jun’s fingers twitched into spasms, forehead veins throbbed subtly, eyes filled with raging bloodthirst, as he struggled to suppress the impulse to tear Gu Yan apart.
Realizing his own agitation, he was shocked within himself, swiftly calming his breath and the anxious disarray of his emotions.
Gu Yan was trying to use Ye Lu to manipulate his emotions; now was the time to remain unprovoked and rational, otherwise he would be completely led by the nose by Gu Yan! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Fine, I promise you, I won’t send anyone to rescue her."
"Good. Now show me your sincerity."
"How do you want me to show it?"
"Third Young Master—" Gu Yan suddenly laughed malevolently, his black pupils excited and twisted with the joy and sensation of revenge, "I want you to kneel down, apologize to me, kowtow three times, and beg for my forgiveness."
Third Young Master Jun’s chest seized up, his body tensed, muscles trembling with the fury of humiliation, eyes blazing with incredulous anger.
Even the subordinates behind Third Young Master were uncontrollably furious, trembling with rage, scowling with indignation, wishing they could drag Gu Yan through the phone and beat him to a pulp.
"Gu Yan, don’t you f***ing go too far." "Dream on, the Third Young Master would never do such a humiliating thing."
To dare make such a humiliating demand, their supremely esteemed and arrogantly proud Third Young Master—how could he suffer such a great and shaming disgrace.
Let alone Third Young Master, any man would find it impossible to accept this humiliation, to kneel before a love rival and beg for forgiveness; it was a delusion.
This Gu Yan was crazy.
"It seems you are unwilling. I thought your love for Ye Lu was deep. It seems there’s no need to discuss terms anymore." Gu Yan acted as though he was about to hang up the phone.
Third Young Master Jun’s whole body exuded a piercing coldness, eyes icy as blades, appearing like a wild beast in rage amidst the darkness.
Amidst the astonished and disbelieving stares of his subordinates, with a snap, his long legs slowly bent at the knees, kneeling on the ground, body straight as a pine, spine stretched taut, posture humiliated, yet his head still arrogantly held high, his expression was one of indomitable pride.
Some people, even when placed in the most humiliating circumstances, their bodies bent low, have spirits that forever soar above others, strong as the heavens themselves.
"Third Young Master, you..." Even Lie Feng was so shocked he struggled to maintain his composure, his most respected and admired master, was actually kneeling on the ground for a woman.
But this did not cause him to think any less of him; instead, his heart was profoundly moved, revealing shock and utter admiration in his eyes.
To hold one’s dignity as dear as life, to choose death over humiliation, that is the mark of a resolute and spirited man.
But, likewise holding dignity dear as life, and yet ultimately subjecting oneself to such humiliation, that does not only denote strength and spirit, but a broader heart, a forbearing and firm will, with the most persistent, powerful, and gentle strength within.
To die rather than to yield is easy; to die and yet yield is the hardest of all.
The other furious subordinates wanted to rush forward and help Third Young Master up, but they were stopped by his stern glance.
"Gu Yan, are you satisfied now?"
Gu Yan heard the sound of kneeling over the phone, along with various voices of humiliated rage, and knew that Third Young Master Jun had indeed knelt down.
His heart also jolted, not expecting Third Young Master Jun to kneel without hesitation for Ye Lu’s sake.
He had always hated this man because Third Young Master Jun was always haughty and unassailable, always treating him with a contemptuous attitude, forever lofty before him, holding his proud head high.
