My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 90: As If a Lifetime Apart_1

It felt like a beautiful dream, one she never dared to imagine. Marrying at such a young age, marrying him, becoming the young mistress of the Gu Family. Thinking back on it now, it still seems like it all happened in a dream, not in reality.

After the wedding, on the night of the same day, Gu Yan got a call from a renowned orthopaedic surgeon and was taken away. The acclaimed doctor had been engaged by the Gu family after an extensive search; he could treat the lingering effects of Gu Yan’s leg injuries. Mrs. Gu accompanied him on a flight to the other side of the Pacific.

Then, a few days later, on the night before Gu Yan returned home.

That day the storm was raging, the servants were gone, and she was alone in this seaside holiday villa. Due to the sudden change in weather, she caught a cold and felt dizzy as she lay in bed.

In her drowsy state, she felt someone come back, hugging her tightly in the darkness, unbearably close.

And in her confusion, she made the mistake of thinking the person was Gu Yan, offering no resistance.

Until the next morning, when Gu Yan burst through the door with a face full of smiles, announcing his return. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She woke up in a daze, sat up, only to find herself completely naked, with lingering traces of intimacy all over her body. She was horrified beyond belief, unable to comprehend the situation.

Ashen-faced, she locked eyes with him, his face as grim.

What happened afterwards was a blur. To this day, she can’t recall the specific details. She just remembers desperately trying to explain, but realizing she fundamentally didn’t know who did this to her.

Moreover, in the wake of such an incident, no matter what explanation a woman offers to a man, it falls short. She had been tainted.

She only remembers that one sentence he said that hurt her the most.

"Get out of my sight, you disgust me!"

He ruthlessly slammed the door and left.

And she was left crying in agony, unable to make amends.

In the end, Mrs. Gu personally jumped into action, throwing out all of her belongings, furiously warning her never to appear in front of her son ever again.

Recalling everything that had happened seven years ago, Ye Lu felt like it was all from another lifetime.

Ha, what was Mrs. Gu so worried about? Her present self was filled with scars, utterly unable to return to the past.

"What are you doing squatting on the floor?" snarled Shang Jingchen, his voice resonating unpleasantly in the restroom.

Caught off guard, Ye Lu glared back, "What are you doing here? This is the women’s restroom, you creep!"

What was going through his mind, barging into the women’s restroom like this?

"You think I wanted to come in? Did you not see how lifeless you looked just now. If I wasn’t afraid you’d faint in here, why would I do something so humiliating?" complained Shang Jingchen, scowling at her. He was only concerned she might pass out.

Ungrateful woman, she didn’t appreciate his goodwill, instead returning it with hostility.

"Who asked you to interfere? I’m not an idiot. How would I faint in here?" Despite her harsh tone, deep down Ye Lu felt a hint of gratitude towards him.

"Why are you crying?" Shang Jingchen frowned at her red, tear-streaked eyes, "Who made you cry?"

"What do you want?"

"I can help you get revenge."

Ye Lu was taken aback. What was up with him today? He was being surprisingly nice to her, even offering to help her with her revenge.

Unfortunately, this had to do with Mrs. Gu. She didn’t have the guts to mention it.

"I don’t need it. I just remembered some upsetting things from the past."

"You cried because of that? Since when did you become so fragile? The luncheon is about to end, you’re not feeling well, I’ll drive you home."

Shang Jingchen, shockingly compassionate, offered to take her back to school.

Ye Lu felt like the sun had risen from the west. He appeared to be in a pretty good mood today.

On the way, Shang Jingchen said, "Our deal. It may not have to last a year. You could complete it in half the time, maybe even less."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lu finally perked up, eyes wide.

"Are you serious?"
