My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 733: Determined to Leave_1

"Ling Xiu, don’t you feel it’s too much to humiliate a girl like this?"

Ye Lu couldn’t bear it any longer. She stood up and helped Qingchi, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet.

"Why are you kneeling? He ordered you to kneel and you just did, you’re a human, not a dog."

Qingchi bit her lip and gave Ye Lu a grateful look.

"Who gave you permission to stand!" Ling Xiu’s face darkened instantly. He raised his hand and slapped Qingchi across the face. This blow made her kneel down again before she could even stand properly. The teacup she was holding shattered on the ground, splashing water everywhere.

"Also, she is elder brother’s friend. You are not qualified to call her sister, you should address her as Miss Ye, remember your place."

"Yes." Qingchi, covering her swollen face, lowered her head. Her body was curled up and she was visibly shivering.

Ye Lu narrowed her eyes. This man was despicable, violent towards a girl. It was infuriating.

"Ling Xiu, do you think you’re an emperor? She’s not your slave, hitting people is against the law."

Ling Xiu’s icy eyes stared back at her, "Ye Lu, I respect you as my elder brother’s friend, but the affairs of the Ling’s Family don’t need interference from outsiders. Besides, she is indeed my slave. I can treat her however I want, mind your own business."

Ye Lu now understood why this girl, despite being so talented, had such a low self-esteem.

Living in such a humiliating environment, her dignity completely destroyed, it was no wonder she felt inferior.

"Qingchi, you can’t even serve properly, yet you dream of going abroad! I won’t allow you to leave." Ling Xiu gave her a cold stare, snorted with laughter, then got up and left the room.

Ye Lu was speechless with rage. She took Qingchi back to her room and applied some ointment on her.

"I can do it by myself, Miss Ye, you should go rest." She skillfully picked up the swell-reducing ointment, kept her head down and applied it on herself, accepting her fate calmly.

"You mustn’t call me Miss Ye."

"Sister Ye, please don’t make it hard for me. The more you help me, the harsher he’ll be with me. Just go back, I’ll be fine."

Ye Lu looked at her with exasperation. Why didn’t she fight back when abused like this. Why did she choose to submit to Ling Xiu’s tyranny? It was frustrating to watch.

But as an outsider, she knew there were some things she couldn’t interfere in.

She also knew that Qingchi, such a wonderful girl, would be destroyed if she stayed here. Ye Lu wanted to save her from this miserable life.

Watching this girl reminded her of her own past, it was heartbreaking.

Ling Yan came back in the evening and brought her some news.

"Right now, the Third Young Master is desperately looking for you everywhere. He has searched all the hotels, nearly turned the entire city upside down. He has even deployed people in the airport, train station, even bus station. It seems like he’s determined to find you, no matter what."

Hearing this, Ye Lu was annoyed. The one billion bounty also made her clench her teeth. This man was just too much.

"No matter what he’s doing, I’m determined to leave and will never return to his side."

"That’s good to hear. I’ve already got in touch with Bao’er. She’s more than willing to help and has notified Dr. K, who will be leaving in three days, to take you with him."

Ye Lu sighed with relief. Finally, she could leave, she wouldn’t have to hide here anymore.

"Ling Yan, there’s something else. I want to take Qingchi with me. I can see that you care for her. For her future, you should be helping her."
