My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 125: Who Drugged?_1

"Silly girl, daddy doesn’t want you to marry either, but since things have already come this far with Shang Jingchen, for your lifelong happiness, I can only painfully go through with this. Old Sir Shang has promised not to mistreat you. Once you marry into that family, you will become a young lady, and Shang Jingchen won’t dare to treat you unkindly."

"I won’t marry."

Ye Lu insisted stubbornly.

"Don’t be stubborn. I know you’re uncomfortable, but what can be done now that things have come to this? Ah, it’s my fault for allowing you to take the wine, ending up like this."

"I won’t marry."

Ye Wanli’s brows knit together in impatience, "Lu’er, what are you thinking? This is the best choice for you. I’m doing this for your own good. Why are you being so obstinate?"

Empty eyes of Ye Lu stared constantly at him, "This is the best choice for me? Aren’t you the one who cherishes me the most? Who respects my decisions the most?"

"Lu’er, what do you mean by this? I’m doing it for your own good." Ye Wanli was staggered, feeling the gaze from her eyes at the moment was quite unnerving, it was eerily calm.

"Dad, we didn’t drink any alcohol," Ye Lu said quietly.

Ye Wanli suddenly felt a bit guilty. Had this girl found something?

He quickly dismissed the thought. Considering how pure-hearted she was and how much trust she had always placed in him, while he’d always maintained a perfect image of being a doting father, she could not have suspected him.

"What in the world happened then? How did you two end up sleeping together? Was it Shang Jingchen’s little bastard who deliberately set you up? This is really hateful!" His expression was one of anxious rage.

"Why would Shang Jingchen harm me? He doesn’t even like me."

"Then it must be Old Sir Shang. He has been quite fond of you, hasn’t he? I suspect he has plotted this in order to get you into his family. Just think about it, other than members of the Shang Jingchen’s family, who else could enter the mansion and drug the drink? Isn’t it obvious? This is too much."

Ye Lu jolted. Yes, who else could’ve drugged the drinks.

The truth had evidently emerged, ah-ha, but she was too naive and being deceived by the veneer of his paternal gentleness.

"So that’s how it is. I was actually set up." she uttered a bitter laugh.

A sharp pain pierced her heart, leaving her overwhelmed with rage and disappointment.

Ye Wanli sighed, "Ah, it’s quite disappointing what Old Sir Shang did. Fortunately, he is willing to take responsibility and make Shang Jingchen marry you. Otherwise, as a father, I would not sit back and overlook this, even if it means sacrificing my own life. Lu’er, stop overthinking. Crown Prince Shang is indeed a very outstanding man. You won’t lose out by marrying him."

Ye Lu shook her head firmly, her voice cold to the bone.

"I won’t marry because I cannot forgive the person who pushed me into this plight!"

Flames of anger started to rise in Ye Wanli’s heart. How can this girl be so foolish? If she doesn’t marry, what about the seven million betrothal gifts that were sent?

"Old Sir Shang was indeed at fault, but he is still an elder after all, he could have his reasons, forgive him!"

"You think I’m referring to him?"

Ye Lu abruptly stood up. Her usually innocent face was now filled with cold harshness, and those bright eyes filling with an irresistible resentment. She uttered insultingly, word by word, through clenched teeth.

"What I meant is YOU, my father, Ye Wanli!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am your father!" Ye Wanli’s face drastically changed as he looked at her in shock.

He was momentarily dumbfounded. What was this girl saying, did he hear wrong? Has she gone mad?

She wasn’t referring to Old Sir Shang, but to him? What on earth is going on?

Ye Lu’s eyes filled with tears as she looked at the man before her, her heart filled with unbearable grief and rage.
