My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 47: She is a Money Tree_1

Suddenly, a surprised voice of a servant came from upstairs.

"Young master, what are you doing squatting here?"

Ye Wanli’s face changed instantly, he looked up at the stairs.

Ye Yuan was holding a cup of water, rubbing his eyes sleepily as he stood up, his tender voice perplexed, "How did I end up here, I was just in the study!"

The maid laughed, "Young Master, you must be tired from studying so hard that you fell asleep while getting water."

Ye Wanli walked up to them, glaring at the maid discontentedly, "How do you take care of the young master? What if he catches a cold from sitting on the floor? I’m not paying you to sit around and do nothing. You’re supposed to take care of him closely."

The maid looked terrified, "I just went to the restroom for a bit, Sir, I won’t let it happen again. Please don’t fire me."

She wore an expression of absolute terror at Ye Wanli.

Ye Wanli glanced at her, then turned kindly to the sleepy Ye Yuan, "Yuanyuan, why so tired? You’re usually so energetic. Why didn’t you go out to play with your mother?"

Ye Yuan yawned, his chubby face full of sleepiness, "I was working on some Olympiad problems till late last night."

"Aren’t these Olympiad problems usually a piece of cake for you?"

"Hmm, of course, but I was working on ones for higher grades. There was a particularly tricky question that took me almost half a day to answer. But I finally figured it out." Ye Yuan’s face is full of a child’s pride.

As Ye Wanli carefully observed, finding no sign of pretense in Ye Yuan’s childlike innocence, he finally felt relieved and smiled.

"Yuanyuan should go back to rest now, if you get sick from staying up, grandpa would be really worried."

He then instructed the maid to take Ye Yuan back to his room.

Returning to his own room, Chen Yan followed him in, looking puzzled.

"Do you suspect that the child was eavesdropping on us?"

"From testing him just now, it seems unlikely, but we should be more careful when we talk at home. As these two children grow up, they’ll start to understand more." Said Ye Wanli seriously.

Chen Yan was rather dismissive, "He’s only a six-year-old, just a little kid. What could he possibly understand? Besides, we didn’t discuss anything particularly alarming."

"These two kids are very smart, unlike ordinary children, especially Ye Yuan, he’s too savvy. I’ve been cautious for so many years, maintaining my flawless image, keeping that girl utterly loyal to me. I can’t let some petty mistakes ruin my big plan."

"Honey, even if the child is clever, he’s still a kid. If he can eavesdrop and appear so innocent, he’d be virtually a genius, wouldn’t he? I think it’s just a coincidence, we’ll just be more careful in the future."

Ye Wanli thought this made sense, although Ye Yuan was clever, he was still a kid, after all, he wouldn’t understand what adults were talking about.

Besides, he had always been nice to these siblings ever since they were young, they trusted him, their grandfather.

His eyes were filled with sharp gleams, "Anyway, we should be more cautious. These two kids are not only my leverage on that girl’s conscience but also my future cash cow. I’m investing a lot in their education, sending them to the best schools, art and language classes, leaving no stone unturned. I can’t let it be wasted."

Ye Yuan’s smart and clever, potentially a future business wiz, he could help my company make a lot of money in the future.

As for this little girl Ye Yi, she’s such a beauty, even prettier than Ye Lu, and has a pleasing personality. After proper grooming, turning her into a noble lady, marrying her off to a billionaire in the future wouldn’t be so tough at all.

"While it makes sense for these two kids, I don’t understand how you can still value Ye Lu that much. She’s been married and has a child. What value does she hold now?
