My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 888: The Pheasant Turns into a Phoenix

The saying "overnight billionaire," it’s just that simple.

To think, her grandmother used to toil away day after day only to earn a meager wage. Laboring people truly suffer, it turns out being a capitalist is the way to go!

"Mommy, what does the stock market surge have to do with you? Did you make money again?" Ye Yuan immediately sensed something unusual, squinting his sharp eyes as he leaned in close to her for answers, "Are you hiding something from us? How did you know to assert so confidently that Tian Kun’s stocks would rise? Spill it."

He was no fool, currently learning to trade stocks with Vincent, and Tian Kun’s recent insane swings were exactly what he was studying.

He could tell at a glance, the drop and surge in the stock were out of the ordinary, especially the surge; he saw straight through it, a big tycoon had poured in money to prop it up.

"Hehe." Ye Lu cleared his throat with an air of pride, smiling as he gathered the two adorable treasures, "Babies, your mommy is a whole new person now, worth billions."

Ye Yiyi’s eyes widened with excitement, "Mommy, have you gone from a sparrow to a phoenix?"

Ye Lu, with a vein popping, pinched her tender little face, "What sparrow? Your mommy has always been a phoenix who just accidentally fell into a sparrow’s nest; it’s been rough, but now I’ve soared into the sky and returned to my true form."

Ye Lu shared with them the story of how she met Lunxi and was recognized by the Hua family.

The two cute treasures listened more and more intently, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Mommy, does this mean we’ve struck it rich? We don’t have to marry into wealth, we’ll have lots and lots of money." Ye Yiyi held her breath, her big eyes round with anticipation.

Ye Yuan looked at her with annoyance, "Silly girl, money is one thing, but what’s most important is that our social status and worth have changed completely. Nobody dares to look down on us anymore because mommy is the heiress to the Hua Group, and we, brother and sister, are the legitimate little heirs!"

"Hehe, then I’m a little princess, that’s amazing."

"So, the surge in Tian Kun’s stocks this time was due to the Hua family’s secret investment and pulling them up, right?" Ye Yuan quickly caught on.

Ye Lu’s gaze was fiery, "Of course, but I didn’t invest recklessly. Tian Kun has always been a project with great potential. We bought in at a low price, and this time we’ve made a killing, two birds with one stone. Now, Jun Shi, I’d imagine, must be regretting his losses."

That man must’ve colluded with some shareholders to dump their shares to cause Tian Kun’s stock to plummet, and he surely promised to retrieve that equity for them, with even greater benefits.

But now their shares have been utterly lost and she had beat them to the punch by buying in low; they’re bound to suffer huge losses, and Jun Shi will have to cough up a hefty sum to fill this massive hole, it’s probably choking him."

Hmph, as for Jun Shi, she was no longer the same Ye Lu to be trifled with.

"By the way, you can’t let Third Young Master Jun know about this, especially you, little tattle-tale," Ye Lu pinched her beloved daughter’s face, warning her with a teasing gnash of her teeth.

"Okay, I won’t say anything this time."

Ye Yiyi giggled cutely and then cried out in surprise as she looked out the window.

"Ah, when did it start raining? It’s pouring so heavily."

Ye Lu also looked out the window, the sky dark and brooding, the heavy rain streaming down and pounding on the windowsill. It had been a long time since she experienced such a fierce storm, looking at the trees outside being whipped around, one could sense how cold and fierce the rain was!

"But after the cold winter rain passes, spring is almost here; it will become warm and sunny, won’t it?" she said with a slight smile.

"Eh, it looks like there’s a figure walking this way," Ye Yuan suddenly pointed towards the glass door leading to the ground.
