My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 766: Even If Full of Pride_1

He carefully placed the bracelet into the box, instructing the servant to carry all the gifts upstairs.

Why was she returning them? He knew she was thinking of leaving, that’s why she refused to keep them. But he refused to make it so easy for her to leave.

"Wait a moment." He suddenly called out to the servant, "Put them down first."

He walked over, crouched down, and examined each gift one by one. He inspected each one closely, but didn’t find the necklace that Gu Yan had given her.

His body suddenly stiffened, and he froze where he stood.

She disdained all the gifts, even refusing to keep the family heirloom from her grandmother.

However, she had retained the jewelry from Gu Yan. Was she really so infatuated with Gu Yan?

...

Feiyu returned and came to the study to report the situation.

"Third Young Master, the plane for tomorrow is prepared. How do you plan to handle Godfather?" Feiyu could not help but worry. Now that even Su Feiman had been alerted, it indicated the seriousness of the issue.

’The Third Young Master wouldn’t face any severe consequences, would he?’ He thought, alarmed by the strict laws of the new place.

But it seemed Third Young Master Jun didn’t hear his words at all. He just laid on the sofa, supporting a crystal wine glass elegantly in his hand, his thin lips still stained with the vintage wine.

He leaned on the sofa, his eyes vast and unfathomable like the deep sea, hazed with a heavy fog; he looked half-drunk, lost in intense vacuity, as if detached from reality.

"Third Young Master..." Feiyu called out to him, worriedly noting his odd behavior.

The crisis was just in front of them. How to deal with Su Feiman was a significant issue, yet the Third Young Master was here drinking.

Third Young Master Jun’s eyes slowly turned to him. Seeing Feiyu, he suddenly smiled in confusion, "Feiyu, will you also leave me someday? When you find a better master, you will leave too."

Feiyu was shocked, "Third Young Master, what are you talking about?"

Third Young Master Jun slightly swung the colourful liquid in the crystal goblet, as the golden fluid see-sawed, casting a bright, transparent glow under the lamplight; so beautiful yet illusory.

"Beauty is always fleeting, happiness is just elusive."

He looked at the beautiful light, his smile stretched brighter and more carefree.

But deep within that smile, was clearly an immense pain, the struggle of feeling powerless.

"I always belittled and taunted him. Called him a loser, said that he could never beat me, that he could never take away everything I have. My voice was so confident, so aggressive, as if I really had no fear, haha..."

His laughter turned desolate and sorrowful.

"But I knew in my heart, no matter how arrogantly I acted, how much I pretended to disdain, it was all self-deception, refusing to accept the reality, refusing to admit my powerlessness and weakness."

He knew that what he could hold on to was gradually slipping away. He no longer had any influence on Ye Lu. He could no longer get his grandmother’s unique love. He watched helplessly, not knowing how to rectify the situation.

His pride wouldn’t allow him to apologize to her.

His dignity won’t let him humble himself before his grandmother just to win her favor.

"I know I will eventually lose everything. He will take everything away from me. He had already taken away my mother, now he wants to take away the only person who loves me, take away the person I love, take away everything I have in the Jun family... I curse him like a dog, but the one who’s really like a dog is me."

Third Young Master Jun’s laughter was filled with world-weary desolation.

"Even if filled with pride, even if one’s head is held high, in the end, one is still bound to fall into the dust!"
