My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 56: Ex-husband_1

He circled right back.

"Really?" Shang Jingchen looked at her strangely, still in doubt.

Little miss immediately scorned him: "Uncle, use your brain and think, is that possible? I’m eight years old, she’s only twenty-four. So, she would have had me at thirteen years old, could that be possible?"

"You’re eight years old?" Shang Jingchen looked at her skeptically.

"Yes." The little girl lied without batting an eyelid, after all, she would be eight next year, so she wasn’t really lying.

"Sharp-tongued little girl, I really don’t know which unfortunate parents had the misfortune of having you. I bet they are infuriated every single day."

How could such a sharp-tongued little girl exist in this world? Her parents must be so distressed that they’d die ten years earlier.

"Ha, you must be jealous of me, isn’t it? Jealous that my parents have a cute, smart, and adorable little angel like me. Don’t be envious. Given your genes, uncle, no wonder you can’t have a child half as cute and smart as me."

"Self-praising." Shang Jingchen was speechless.

Then he looked up at Ye Lu who was reveling in his misery, and raised an eyebrow: "Don’t think you can get away with this by using a child. We’ll have to settle this when we get home."

Ye Lu felt a headache coming on. Why won’t he let it go, this petty man.

"I, I will take her back home." Ye Lu attempted to escape.

"Keep dreaming, you can’t escape. Let her parents come pick her up." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The little girl glanced at her mom and changed her approach: "Sister, don’t be scared. If this uncle mistreats you, you can report him to the police and knock him dead. And if that doesn’t work, tell the reporters to ruin his reputation. Let’s see if he’ll be scared then."

Shang Jingchen glared at her. This little girl was quite ruthless.

People usually say it’s better to offend a villain than a woman, but he thought it should be: it’s better to offend a woman than a kid.

"You go ahead, I’ll call my grandpa to pick me up." The little girl waved her cute pink phone.

"Then, you sit here behave and wait for your grandpa to come." Ye Lu knew the little girl was clever and this was a five-star restaurant, so it was safe enough.

The little girl nodded and obediently sat in the chair.

Shang Jingchen led Ye Lu away, planning to interrogate her thoroughly. However, halfway through their journey, he learned some important news from his subordinate.

Shang Jingchen was driving while on the phone, "You’re saying Gu Yan from Gu Clan has returned from abroad and is planning to invite me to discuss a collaboration?"

He didn’t notice Ye Lu, sitting in the passenger seat, turned pale, with a hint of panic and helplessness in her eyes.

"Yes, the Gu Clan this time is very sincere, President Shang, this could be a great opportunity for our group to tap into new markets." The manager of the Shang Family said.

Shang Jingchen thought for a moment, checked his watch: "Okay, let’s do it today. But I’d prefer to discuss it at the Gu residence!"

After agreeing on the time, considering this was related to a major cooperation plan for the Shang Family this year, it was certainly very important.

"Today I won’t have time to settle accounts with you, but you better behave. If I find out about this again, you’re done." Shang Jingchen glared at her.

Ye Lu absent-mindedly nodded; her face was as white as snow.

Shang Jingchen left her in the business district and then turned the steering wheel in the direction of the Gu family house.

Ye Lu sat absent-mindedly on a bench in the business district. With people coming and going, she could see nothing, hear nothing.

She was just thinking of a name, a name of a man she once loved deeply, but also hurt deeply — Gu Yan.

She thought that there would be no intersection between her life and his anymore.

But fate was playing tricks on her, no matter how much she wanted to forget him, his name would always resurface, eliciting endless pain.

Gu Yan, Gu Yan...

She didn’t know how long she had been sitting there. The sky gradually darkened.

Suddenly, her cell phone in her bag rang. It took her a moment to react, she took it out, it was a call from her father.
