My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 87 Feeling Nauseous_1

She smiled at the person in the middle, "Why have you personally taken the initiative, Chairman Chen? Where is Young Master Gu?"

A mature and confident female voice came from the other side, with a hint of amusement, "Yan is not feeling well today, and the Gu Clan attaches great importance to this collaboration. As his mother, I had to step in. I hope the Crown Prince Shang doesn’t mind."

Ye Lu was taken aback, her face turning even paler. This voice was not that of Gu Yan, but that of Gu Yan’s mother, Chen Yunfei.

She never anticipated that after seven years, she would meet not Gu Yan, but his mother.

She still remembers the last time they met, how she cruelly insulted her and ruthlessly threw her out of the house.

Shang Jingchen laughed, "How dare I? Chairman Chen and my mother are both famous queen bees of the business world, praised as strong and remarkable women. I’ve always respected you, so this encounter naturally brings me immense joy."

"Ha, no wonder you’re the Crown Prince Shang, always so eloquent. Who is this by your side?" Chen Yunfei looked towards the woman next to Shang Jingchen; seeing her head hung low, she couldn’t help but pose the question in curiosity.

She must be Shang Jingchen’s girlfriend, for her to be invited to such a gathering, their relationship must not be trifling.

But what’s wrong with this girl? This is quite rude, right? Welcoming guests with her head down, not taking the initiative to greet them, how discourteous.

"This is my girlfriend."

Shang Jingchen smiled lightly and wrapped his arm tightly around Ye Lu, compelling her to lift her head.

Ye Lu could only raise her face, pallid with no trace of blood, reluctantly mustering a smile to greet Chen Yunfei; her voice was rigid.

"Hello, Mrs. Gu."

Chen Yunfei stared at her unbelievably, her face registering shock as if she’d seen a ghost, clearly blindsided.

A strange and unusual atmosphere began to permeate between them.

Regardless of her initial shock, Chen Yunfei, a seasoned player after all, quickly regained her composure, appearing nonchalant as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened. She merely nodded in response.

Then, turning to Shang Jingchen, she laughed, "Crown Prince Shang, let’s talk about our cooperation."

As businesses from both parties were now engaged in conversation, Ye Lu was left out.

She stood to one side, lost in her thoughts for a while, then under pretext of the washroom, she excused herself.

As she was about to leave the washroom, she saw Chen Yunfei entering, her face as stern and her eyes as piercing as they were in the past, emanating the same dominant coldness.

Ye Lu had always been afraid of her. Mrs. Gu was a formidable and authoritative woman, who had a strong mind of her own, and loved her child profoundly. Hence, she loathed Ye Lu intensely.

Ye Lu involuntarily cringed, bowing her head.

"I never imagined that I would see you here; I thought I would never have to see you again in this lifetime. But surprisingly, you have some capability, managing to latch on to Crown Prince Shang." Chen Yunfei began speaking, her voice laced with sarcasm.

Ye Lu turned pale, "This situation is not what you think, I can explain..."

"Explain what?"

Chen Yunfei coldly cut her off.

"Whatever you’re doing now has nothing to do with our Gu Family. Whatever you want to do, I couldn’t care less. Managing to latch on to Crown Prince Shang, that’s your own competency. But, speaking of which, your competency has never been lacking, especially when it comes to manipulating men. I’m only relieved that Gu Yan broke free from your clutches. I only feel sorry for the Crown Prince Shang to have gotten involved with a scheming woman like you."

Her words struck Ye Lu deeply, forcing her to raise her head abruptly, "Mom, the incident back then... I don’t know what happened either, I have no idea what took place that night?"

"Don’t call me ’Mom,’ it’s nauseating. You’re still defending yourself? After committing such a disgraceful act, do you think we’re all idiots?"
