My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 972: Knocking Over the Vinegar Jar
"Someone has to be the first, can’t let him be so smug all the time," Ye Lu chuckled lightly.
"Exactly, exactly. That kid used to be invincible among women, arrogantly saying there wasn’t a woman he couldn’t win over. I’ve been wanting to see him lose face, see if he still dares to be so cocky and flirty," Ilid said with an indignant expression.
Ye Lu giggled to herself, guessing that this Ilid must have been at a disadvantage when he and Third Young Master Jun used to chase after women together.
...
Third Young Master Jun was taken to the best hospital, with a prince supporting him, naturally, he had top-notch doctors perform the surgery on him.
After the surgery, it was time for convalescence. Third Young Master Jun’s condition wasn’t too good; he was still somewhat groggy after surgery, not very lucid, and the doctor said his scapula was shattered, and the broken bone had damaged his lung lobe.
After recuperating in the hospital for a week, Third Young Master Jun’s condition improved significantly, and Ilid transferred him to a quieter and more comfortable place to recover. When Ye Lu arrived at that place of convalescence, her eyes widened.
Super luxurious or what?
A huge complex of buildings, a garden as big as a forest, green everywhere. In any other place, Ye Lu certainly wouldn’t be surprised, but this was a desert country where water was more expensive than gold. They say it costs tens of thousands to maintain a tree for a year, and yet this garden was so big...
Every single leaf was essentially live cash, cash.
"This Ilid really is loaded, I bet even their toilets are made of gold," Ye Lu said, a tinge of envy in her voice. As the heiress to the Hua family and rumored to have made it into the world’s wealthiest list, she felt envious and resentful when compared to the royally rich who were dripping with wealth.
"He’s so rich, and so handsome too, must have lots of girls liking him. Whoever marries him wouldn’t have to worry about money for ten lifetimes," she added.
Third Young Master Jun, sitting in a wheelchair, saw her eyes sparkling and his phoenix-like eyes suddenly darkened with displeasure.
"You think he’s very handsome?"
"Yeah, he has a fine and deep-set face, tall and upright stature, the physique of a nomadic descendant is really not bad at all, majestic and handsome. Especially his eyes—they’re big and black, bright as stars, even prettier than a woman’s eyes, without losing a man’s strength," Ye Lu gushed with praise.
Third Young Master Jun’s face grew uglier with each passing moment as she dared to talk about another man’s good looks right in front of him, and to do so without any restraint, almost drooling with admiration.
So lacking in taste, huh. The most handsome man in the world was clearly standing right in front of her, yet she’d never drooled over him.
"You really like him?" His tone grew even more dangerous.
"Yeah." Ye Lu didn’t notice his icy expression at all. Ilid was indeed an interesting person—humorous and warm-hearted, obviously a man of great loyalty and friendship. She really liked that kind of friend.
Hearing her unabashed words, Third Young Master Jun’s handsome face seemed to gain a thick layer of ice, a tumult of jealousy surging in his heart, painfully sour.
After Ye Lu helped him to his room, she went out for a stroll. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Third Young Master Jun ground his teeth in anger. This fickle woman, upon seeing a handsome man, ruthlessly abandoned her injured husband.
He immediately picked up the phone to call Ilid. Ilid was driving over, excited, "I just got some great stuff air-freighted over from Europe. I’m coming to give them to you and also to check on your injuries."
"I heard you’ve been accompanying Ye Lu these past days." His tone was flat, without any fluctuation.
"Yeah, she’s quite amusing. She really is a mysterious Eastern beauty."
He and Ye Lu were on the same wavelength, getting along exceedingly well, especially when they joined forces to ridicule Third Young Master Jun’s many vices, sharing a mutual dislike and understanding.
"And she is truly beautiful, with a completely different charm from our Arabian ladies—fresh, pure, quite adorable..."
"Enough, leave the stuff, and your presence is not required!" Third Young Master Jun hung up the phone with a frigid tone.
