My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 15: Deliberate Release for Future Capture_1

Ye Lu frowned, "Ye Yi, you lazybones, why can’t you walk in yourself?"

"No, the floor is cold, Yiyi doesn’t want to wear shoes, and brother has been learning Taekwondo recently so it’s perfect for him to practice his arm strength. See, I’m so thoughtful of my brother."

Ye Lu was speechless, yet a warm, joyous feeling swept over her heart at the sight of their sibling’s love.

Even though she had received ten million dollars, in reality, Ye Lu’s life didn’t change much.

She gave the full amount to her father to help save the company, without keeping a dime for herself.

So she continued to work part-time during her free hours to earn a bit more money. To say her life was busy would be an understatement.

Shang Jingchen had been in the hospital for five days, and the visitor room was always full of people. Companies engaged with his in business, sent people to visit, and so did the relatives who rarely showed up, they all began to express their care and concern.

"Wow, with all these sympathy gifts, Jingchen, you could open several flower shops, gift shops, and health supplement stores."

Mr. Yang Xiu, the executive of Yang’s Worldwide Enterprises and a close business ally, who was also considered as his brother, admired all the gifts piled up in the hospital room.

He casually picked up a box and then chuckled ominously.

"A virility supplement? Please enlighten me as to where you were injured—your head or somewhere else? If it’s somewhere else, I can recommend an experienced Chinese traditional medicine practitioner for you. He can help you regain your vitality in no time."

"Screw off!" growled Shang Jingchen.

"Why so grumpy, it’s rare to see you this irritated." Yang Xiu was curious.

"Am I?"

"Obviously, your grouchy face has been on me for an hour. It’s so unwelcoming, I came all this way to get trodden all over by you. It’s indeed true that money can’t buy love. You are breaking my heart," Yang Xiu dramatically held his heart like he was in pain.

Shang Jingchen’s eyebrows twitched.

He didn’t even bother to pay attention to this oftentimes flirty, annoying man.

"By the way, how did you get this injury? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you fight. Whenever you did before, it was always the other guy who ended up getting hurt, not you. So, what got you this time? Is it your business rivals? Because if it is, that’s not a simple matter."

"No, I just got into a fight with some street punks."

"Street punks? When did you, a young master, deem it worthwhile to stoop so low to fight with ruffians?" Yang Xiu blinked his eyes in surprise, a sudden realization struck him, "Whoa, was it because of a woman? This is big news."

Yang Xiu was more curious. He leaned closer in a gossipy way.

"Who’s this woman who could make the young master of Shang Group, such a prominent figure fight for her? Has fairy-tale princess shown up?"

Shang Jingchen pushed away his annoying peach blossom face, and replied coldly.

"Nonsense, just a gold-digger."

"Hmm, that’s strange, don’t you usually despise this kind of woman?"

"I was drunk, okay? Can I just say my brain wasn’t functioning properly?"

The mere mention of Ye Lu made Shang Jingchen’s blood boil.

"But seriously, I saved that woman. Yet, I’ve been lying in the hospital for five days, and she didn’t show up once, nor did she even make a phone call. Who does that?"

At first, he thought she would come to visit him every day and seize this opportunity to win his favor.

After all, he was the real golden bachelor. She didn’t even spare an old rich man, how could she ever resist him—a handsome bachelor with talents.

Thus, she must have been trying to seduce him, become his woman, and reap greater benefits.

The first day, he thought, if she showed up, he would sarcastically cold shoulder her and make it clear that he was not interested in her.

However, she didn’t show up at all.

The second day, the third day, she was still absent. He sneered, thinking she was deliberately playing hard to get.
