My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 23 I Can Sneak In_1

Her father had always been so caring towards her, her mom, and the two kids, gave a lot, she was grateful for his trust, therefore she would do anything for him without any resistance.

That was also why she gave him ten million without any hesitation.

Feng Aoxue, holding her chin said, "Funny how an honest man like your dad, married such a wicked woman as your stepmother. They’re not a match at all. Your mom is so gentle and beautiful, it’s such a pity."

Ye Lu, too, thought it was a pity. If Chen Yan were not in the picture, their family would certainly be very happy.

She couldn’t understand why her dad had divorced her mom.

However, her mother never told her why, only sighed and told her to love her father wholeheartedly. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Her mother was later hospitalized and remained unconscious, leaving her no chance to ask the questions.

"Anyway, what I want now is to concentrate on finishing my studies, work, make more money, bring my kid back to live with me, and stop my dad from feeling torn."

"If you ask me, if you had just taken that betrothal money back then, you wouldn’t have to work so hard. Five hundred million! If you hadn’t given it back, you’d be a billionaire by now. You would have a bunch of young handsome guys lingering around you." Feng Aoxue exaggeratedly gasped.

She knew Ye Lu had been married. She didn’t know who the guy was, but with this kind of spend, it had to be someone from a very influential family.

Ye Lu’s face darkened a bit.

When they got married that year, he treated her better than she could ever imagine. He gave her luxurious rings, wedding gowns, cars, and even the betrothal money was an astronomical figure, a number she could hardly imagine—it felt like a blessing falling upon her directly from heaven.

But then, the ending happened.

How could she have the face to keep that money? She returned it just to retain a bit of her dignity.

"I don’t want things that don’t belong to me."

"Right, our worth as women can’t be measured in money. Even though you appear greedy for money on the surface, in reality, you’re less greedy than anyone else. That’s why I consider you my best friend. Oh, also, I came to know about a local beauty pageant recently, the prize money is really high, do you want to participate?"

On hearing the phrase "high prize money," Ye Lu suddenly became interested, but hesitated.

"A beauty pageant I can make it there?"

"Who knows you’ve had a child. At the very least, you’re a university student, you have a pretty face, a good body, you’re eloquent, you’re definitely better than those models. There are a lot of university students participating, I have a relative who’s a judge, I can pull some strings for you."

"What kind of relative?"

"The son of the classmate of my cousin’s father-in-law’s colleague’s daughter."

Ye Lu fainted, that was a distant relationship.

"Anyway, I can manage it, you just go with confidence. Even if you can’t make it to the top three, you can at least get an excellence award which will get you thirty thousand. What do you say?"

On hearing thirty thousand, Ye Lu gritted her teeth, ready to give it a try.

"Sign me up."

By that time, the ’Golden King’ should definitely be out of the hospital, then she would have time.

Feng Aoxue pounded her chest: "Okay, leave it to me. Oh, right, I recently bought a lot of gifts for our kids, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen those little ones, let’s go see them together another day!"

Time flew by like an arrow, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

"Hi buddy, I’m here to see you again." Even before Yang Xiuren arrived, his voice could be heard. His peachy face appeared in the ward, looking around, "Where’s my Xiao Lu, where’s my matchmaker?"

"Xiao Lu?" Shang Jingchen sounded displeased.

When did they get so close?

"Yes, I’ve missed her since that day we parted, such a lovely girl."

"Watch your mouth. She’s now my girlfriend." Shang Jingchen warned him.

Even though he knew he was only joking, it didn’t feel right hearing another man admiring her.
