My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 48 Scared to Death_1

"If I had, last time, arranged her marriage to Boss Liu, it wouldn’t be too bad. We might even get a dowry of 50 million. I have already checked with Boss Liu, he is willing to pay that sum."

Chen Yan ruefully thought of what those 50 million could have brought her.

Ye Wanli snorted, "That goes to show your short-sightedness. You don’t know how to maximize profit. Marrying her off to Boss Liu would only have got us 50 million. But now, she has ingratiated herself with the heir apparent of Shang Group, who is expected to inherit all of the Shang Group’s fortunes."

"But, honey, do you really think Crown Prince Shang will marry her? With her current condition, can she really climb up this high tree? I suspect that Crown Prince Shang may just be fooling around with her, and will throw her away once he’s done."

"What do you know? This girl is not as bad as you think. If she was, then why was Gu Yan so enthralled by her? When she was only seventeen, she already had the charm and cunning to attract a young master of a wealthy syndicate. Now that she’s grown up, she’s even more attractive and has a particularly distinguishing personality. I would not be surprised if Crown Prince Shang fell for her. This girl has always had a special kind of charm."

"But she has indeed been married and has a child." Chen Yan still thought it impossible for that damned girl to get Crown Prince Shang.

"Ahahaha, this precisely illustrates my brilliance back in the day. When Young Master Gu married her, they were underage. Hence, they had to register their marriage in a foreign country. But foreign registered marriages aren’t acknowledged here. So, she is recorded as unmarried in her ID card. As for the kids, I arranged for them to be sent to an orphanage, and then formally adopted them back."

Ye Wanli thought of his meticulous and flawless scheme, and could not help but feel slightly proud.

This was a plan that he had laid out for many years. He had always firmly held control over Ye Lu, this money tree. He has invested a great deal of time and money in grooming her. Therefore, naturally, he needs to maximize the gains.

"So now, she’s a postgraduate from a top university. With her beauty and distinctive personality and our Ye Family’s reputation as an affluent family, even if we aren’t rich, we are still comfortably well-off. This status may not be able to compete with those truly rich and pretty girls, but it’s still decent enough.

If Crown Prince Shang likes her, nothing will be a problem. Are you afraid the dowry won’t be substantial then? One billion is nothing. The Gu family gave us five billion back in the day. The dowry from Shang will naturally be no less than that. Just think about it. If we were to marry her off twice like this, we will easily net 10 billion. Isn’t that much better than all the hassle of running a company?"

When Chen Yan heard this, she was all moved and filled with desire. The thought of having an additional 5 billion made her eyes shine. She was, however, still worried, "But Crown Prince Shang, he’s quite a ladies’ man, with countless women. Would he really fall for her?"

"Didn’t you see Crown Prince Shang bringing her to the business banquet last night and introducing her to all those influential people? If he was not serious about her, why would he let everyone know about her? When the son of a large family publicizes his relationship with a girl, it usually means he has thoughts of marrying her. This girl indeed has some skills. But you are also not wrong. Crown Prince Shang may not necessarily marry her with 100% certainty. If he wants to dump her in the end, he wouldn’t have it so easy. "

A gleam of cunning shone in Ye Wanli’s eyes.

"At that time, we’ll stir some trouble, and put him in a difficult position. Even if she doesn’t get married into the family, we can still con him a great deal."

Chen Yan was instantly thrilled and embraced him, "Honey, you really are so brilliant."

Ye Lu took the little girl out, but the child wasn’t interested in children’s playgrounds.

Showing off, she said she stopped playing in those when she was three, as they weren’t exciting at all.

Unless she was taken to an adult amusement park for a roller coaster ride, or to a haunted house or a horror movie, she wouldn’t go.

Ye Lu was frustrated. She didn’t have the courage to admit to her daughter that she was scared to ride roller coasters, terrified of haunted houses, and never watched horror movies. How could this little girl be so brave?
