My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 25 What are you still hesitating about_1

"Therefore, I must find a way to make her willingly accept the woman I’m with."

"So, that’s why you approached Ye Lu? I don’t quite understand, what do you want to use her for?" Yang Xiu was curious.

Shang Jingchen’s eyes were profound and a cunning smile flickered over his face: "Haven’t you heard, only comparisons bring about differences?"

"Ah..." Yang Xiu was temporarily confused, but after a moment he clapped his thighs, his eyes wide open, "Brother, you’re not thinking of..."

"Yes, I have to use a poison to fight poison, to conquer this fortress that is my mother. If she compares Jiayin with a high-class lady, of course, she’ll consider Jiayin inferior. But if I bring a woman, who is worse than Jiayin, to her and say I want to marry her, it would irritate my mother to the point of intolerance. Then she will reconsider Jiayin’s gentleness, kindness, and consideration, and she’ll find Jiayin better, making it easier for her to accept Jiayin."

"Brilliant, this plan is indeed brilliant."

Yang Xiu can’t help but raise his thumb in approval.

"You reminded me of my cousin. He didn’t want to get married, but his family forced him to pretend to be gay in the end. Later, my aunt gave up, stating outright that as long as he didn’t bring a male partner home, whomever he wanted to marry and whenever he wanted to marry was not her concern."

"Therefore, I will certainly succeed."

Shang Jingchen was very confident about this plan, which was why he decided to strike a deal with Ye Lu.

My mother absolutely detests gold-diggers or girls who try to marry into wealth, especially ones that come from a poor background, wherein Ye Lu checks all boxes. Her personality is greedy, her actions classy and she has a history of using rich old men, every single flaw hits my mother’s sore spot.

Therefore, she’s the perfect candidate.

"Isn’t this a bit unfair to Xiao Lu? She will become the target of your mother’s bias, criticism, and belittlement, and all of your mother’s resentment will be vented on her."

Shang Jingchen scoffed: "As long as there’s money involved, what’s there that a gold digger like her won’t do, or can’t bear? Having taken the money, she should pay the price. It’s not easy to get ten million."

Yang Xiu shook his head, suspecting that Ye Lu was probably not naive either.

Would things really go as smoothly as Jingchen expected?

Besides, emotions are the hardest to control. Can Jingchen really guarantee that he will remain ruthless towards Ye Lu in the future?

Regardless, he was quite interested and was looking forward to seeing how this plot would unfold. He had a hunch that this quirky girl would bring some unexpected twists. Maybe the outcomes would be a total surprise.

"By the way, I heard that the Gu Group wants to cooperate with your Shang Family to develop medical equipment."

Shang Jingchen nodded: "Yes, they have indeed shown interest and have submitted a project development proposal. I have looked at this project thoroughly. It’s flawless. If executed jointly, profitability is assured. We, the Shang Family, will provide the land and resources, while they would bring in the technology and market marketing. With joint investment, they promise that profits will increase by 500% within five years. One could say that it’s a guaranteed profitable project that could establish a new revenue stream for the Shang Family in the extensive medical market. Therefore, I am very interested in this project."

"Such a good project, what are you hesitating about?"

"It’s because it’s too perfect. Everything seems to be in Shang Family’s favor, which makes it suspicious. For any big project that is yet to be marketed, it’s hard to predict whether it would make a profit or suffer a loss. However, they have assured us of a 500% profit in five years. If the project succeeds, it’s fine, but if it fails, they would have to pay us a massive profit. This kind of approach doesn’t fit the conservative style of the Gu Clan."

Shang Jingchen is a business elite. Having clawed his path in the business world for so many years, he naturally sniffed out something unusual.
