My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 973: Take Everything From Her
"Enough, leave the stuff, you don’t need to show up!" Third Young Master Jun hung up the phone with a chilly tone.
Ilid stared innocently at the phone. Did he say something wrong? Why did it seem like his friend was so angry when he had clearly praised his choice of Ye Lu for having good taste?
...
Ye Lu sat in the living room, turned on the TV, and saw a piece of news on the international financial channel.
It spoke of the renowned Hua Clan Information Group finally finding their female heir, Hua Yiren. The reporters were fervently praising her, saying that this beautiful and charming Miss Yiren was stirring up a whirlwind in the financial world.
Her dazzling charm recognized by the Hua family father and son, and due to her unmarried status, the scions of many great families in the world had set off a passionate pursuit to compete for her favor, all hoping to win the approval of this female heir with enormous secrets, to become her husband.
Now, Hua Yiren’s romantic developments had become a hot topic headlining the news media.
Ye Lu watched the TV with a cold gaze, looking at the high and mighty woman dressed in luxurious clothes, who was being pursued by the media, stunning and striking.
This woman had taken everything from her.
But Ye Lu wasn’t someone to be trifled with or bullied; sooner or later, she would make this woman pay the price for it.
However, now she was already six months pregnant. The constant assassination attempts and fleeing were bad for her health; it really wasn’t appropriate for her to take risks now. She needed to wait until the child was born.
During these few months, she decided to rest well, hide in the dark, and watch the changes quietly.
"Mommy, does Uncle really not recognize us anymore?" Ye Yuan had long since learned about this on the internet and furrowed his good-looking eyebrows, "They have now taken this woman called Yiren back home, and she has taken over your place. Aren’t you angry?"
Ye Lu was silent for a while.
"I’m not angry."
Ye Yuan was surprised, "Why not?"
"Because, he hasn’t abandoned us."
Ye Lu smiled slightly, her eyes shining with reassurance.
"I encountered an unexpected change on the scene before, and everything happened so suddenly. I was indeed very sad when I heard his cold voice. But after calming down these past few days and thinking it over carefully, if he really acknowledged Yiren, then my identity would have been revealed to Yiren by now. But Yiren was desperate to find me and yet she had no clue. He must be under some special circumstances or controlled by someone!"
And now after a week, Hua Lunxi hadn’t contacted her, which made her even more certain that his lack of contact was to protect her, to prevent her from being tracked.
Ye Yuan then asked, "Then do you plan to tell him your identity?"
Ye Lu was taken aback, knowing that the ’he’ he referred to was Third Young Master Jun. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
If it were before, she would have said no without hesitation.
But after this ordeal of being hunted and the shared hardships between life and death, she began to doubt. She was all too aware of her feelings for him, which had not faded away.
Only now, she also lacked the courage to accept and forgive all of his actions, she was not ready to commit to this relationship unconditionally.
So, wait and see, and when the child is born, these few months might be enough for her to consider what to do in the future, whether or not to be with him.
...
Meanwhile, Hua Lunxi was having a vehement argument with his father, Hua Yueqi, over this.
"Dad, my public stance at the auction was purely out of necessity, but both you and I know that Yiren is an impostor. We should now be thinking of ways to control her, to expose her.
But you taking her openly to various high-society events, introducing her to the company’s senior executives, and repeatedly acknowledging her identity in the media. Your actions have made her identity an established fact."
