My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 823 A Woman’s Worth

She calmed her mind, contemplating how to respond to the media tomorrow and make a forceful counterattack!

...

Jun Shi and Gu Yan were toasting to this very issue.

"Yan, it’s all thanks to your cleverness, observing that the kid had serious injuries. Otherwise, I would have nearly let his antics cloud my judgement and forget this important matter!" Jun Shi hummed, that kid’s acting skills were strong, pretending to be fine all the way and even flipping a table at me.

If it weren’t for Gu Yan’s careful observation by his side, one would not have seen how badly he was injured.

"Dad, you said you have a trump card to deal with him, what exactly is this trump card?" Gu Yan asked doubtfully, right now, creating a scandal using Tian Kun’s project did impact Third Young Master Jun, but it wasn’t fatal yet.

"Ha, just wait and watch," Jun Shi said with a mysterious smile on his face. He certainly wasn’t foolish enough to tell Gu Yan. After all, Gu Yan might betray him.

"By the way, I heard that when the Shang Family’s stock price plummeted, your Gu Clan was also attacked. Did you catch any evidence of the attack?"

Gu Yan lowered his gaze: "I did!"

"Haha, that’s excellent, we must launch a full-scale blockade, strike him while he’s sick, take his life. When the time comes, Jun Group will be yours," Jun Shi’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness. This time, he was determined to completely annihilate the youngster.

As for Gu Yan, after using him, he’ll be the next one.

...

The next day, news broke that Third Young Master Jun was going to hold a press conference to explain the recent scandals.

Upon hearing the news, Jun Shi was stunned.

Wasn’t that kid supposed to be seriously ill? How could he get up and muster the energy to respond? His main plan this time was to keep the kid so sick he wouldn’t have the strength to fight back.

"I have to see for myself." Jun Shi’s face turned stern as he rushed to the press conference.

Arriving at the venue, major financial journalists had all gathered.

And the one who came out to sit at the center table of the press conference was none other than Ye Lu!

Jun Shi’s frown deepened; it was this woman. It seemed the kid was indeed too injured to attend.

"A cornered dog will leap over a wall, but what can a woman do? This kid is hoping a woman can save him, what a joke!" Jun Shi scoffed in contempt, not taking Ye Lu seriously at all. What trouble could a woman stir up?

At most she would attend, say a few pointless pleasantries, make some excuses, but she couldn’t shake the public’s perception.

Ye Lu’s unexpected appearance caused a huge stir among the media.

It was unforeseen, Third Young Master Jun didn’t show up. Instead, it was this female lead involved in the unspoken rules--incredibly hard to believe. Had the Jun Family’s PR Department lost their minds? Wouldn’t this arrangement only add fuel to the scandal?

Ye Lu was already in the eye of the storm; she should have been actively avoiding suspicion.

So why would she stupidly come out and invite scorn?

"I know everyone is surprised at this moment as to why I am the one attending this press conference?"

Ye Lu was dressed appropriately, her voice clear and confident, resonating with strength, instantly overcoming the great doubt in the room.

"The reason is very simple, unfortunately, he’s sick as a cat, can only be carried in, lying on the conference table to face your interviews. In order not to have you all stand on chairs just to snap a picture of his miserable face, I’ll attend on his behalf. Of course, that reason is too lame, one hundred percent unbelievable, so let’s skip it and let everyone use their imagination!"

With a snort, someone in the audience couldn’t help but laugh, surprised by her amusing opening statement.

After all, in such a serious atmosphere, a bit of humor indeed made things more relaxed and added some warmth.

To thank everyone for actively casting their monthly votes the past two days, I will add another Chapter later.
