My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 107: Continuous Battles_1

The golden turtle sure lived up to its name. Born with a golden key, blessed with such a wealthy family background and cushy life, it was hard to believe how such a foul-tempered young master was raised.

"What are you glaring at? Glaring at it won’t make it yours." Shang Jingchen gave her a sidelong glance, clearly irritated, and took the lead striding into the villa.

Ye Lu quickly caught up with him.

Entering the villa, she could sense the grandeur and power of a wealthy family. Servants lined up to greet them, each dressed in impeccable uniforms, looking professional and refined.

Looking down at her own attire, Ye Lu couldn’t help but blush a bit; she was dressed worse than a maid!

No wonder all those maids looked at her with expressions of surprised disdain and whispered amongst themselves.

Passing through the great hall they entered a separate villa at the back. It was said that this was where the Shang family took their meals. The four-story building had an area for entertaining guests on the first floor, family dining on the second, varied specialty restaurants on the third, and a quiet spot for afternoon tea on the fourth.

Ye Lu envied them so much. Their tea spot was more than ten times larger than her entire home, those darn capitalists.

Upon reaching the second floor, she saw a bunch of high-society women, chatting away on the sofas in the side hall outside the dining room.

And there in the middle, receiving everyone’s compliments, sat Madam Shang.

"Mom, I’m back."

"Dear uncles and aunts, thank you all for coming tonight."

"Wow, is this Xiao Shang? Auntie hasn’t seen you for so long... look how much you’ve grown and how handsome you’ve become!"

"That’s right, such a handsome young man. My Little Qi has been missing you. Come on, let me introduce her."

A young girl nearby blushed instantly at the words, while the other daughters who’d been brought along looked at the handsome man before them, their hearts fluttered and their faces flushed.

Shang Jingchen chuckled and drew Ye Lu close to him. "I’ll have to ask my darling Lu if she allows me to meet other girls. Whatever she says, goes."

With that, he looked at Ye Lu adoringly, with a voice full of affection.

Ye Lu’s hair stood on end. What’s this about ’my darling Lu’? Such an intimate nickname was simply unbelievable! This wicked man! He was trying to divert the heat onto her so quickly.

"I don’t..." Ye Lu began, intending to say ’I don’t mind’, but when Shang Jingchen glared at her menacingly, she instantly changed her words, bragging, "No way! This is my man. I won’t let him meet other girls."

The faces of the ladies present changed in an instance while the girls looked utterly crestfallen. They shot contemptuous glances at Ye Lu, who stood before them looking like a plain country girl.

"Who are you?" one of the older aunts squinted at Ye Lu.

Madam Shang’s face turned ashen. Ye Lu’s crude attire made her look like a joke, causing Madam Shang to lose face. Though she disapproved of Ye Lu, she didn’t expect her to be so disgraceful.

"Ladies and gentlemen, she is an...acquaintance of Jingchen’s."

Upon hearing her dismissive tone, the others sighed in relief.

However, they were taken aback when Shang Jingchen chuckled and said, "Mom, how could you, in front of all our relatives, refer to my fiancee as merely a friend? She is going to be your future daughter-in-law, you know. Isn’t that a bit rude?"

"Daughter-in-law? Really? This kind of woman? Sister Shang, Xiao Shang, is he for real?" The room erupted in commotion, disapproval apparent in their eyes.

The other girls looked even less convinced, staring at Ye Lu with pure hostility.
