My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 38: Standing Up for Her_1

"Ye Lu, how did you get in here?" Chen Yuyun lets out a surprised gasp, her hand covering her mouth, "My god, you didn’t sneak in, did you? If they find out, you will be thrown out. Not just anyone can gain entry into a place like this, and if you’re trying to snare a wealthy catch, this is not the place to do it. Remember, high society today values social equivalents. You don’t have the aristocratic birth that I do, so stop daydreaming. You stand no chance with the men here, you would be better off settling for an average person!"

Ye Lu stares at her, speechless.

She really doesn’t understand why Chen Yuyun is so smug. Since when did her family belong to the upper crust? They were but nouveau riche, previously ordinary people now flush with money, bragging about their so-called blue-blood lineage. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

If they really were that aristocratic, they wouldn’t be scrambling to make connections with the wealthy elite, desperately trying to shoehorn their way into high society.

Nevertheless, she was used to Chen Yuyun’s ridicule. This woman loved comparing herself with Ye Lu and was inclined to stir up trouble over nothing.

Especially after witnessing the opulence that came with Ye Lu’s marriage to a wealthy family, from extravagant jewelry, wedding dresses and even a helicopter, Chen Yuyun began viewing her with even more distaste, always striving to belittle her.

"I didn’t sneak in, I came in with my boyfriend."

"Ha! Stop joking around. The ones invited here all possess status and prestige. There’s no way you could know such a man."

Chen Yuyun sneered, scrutinizing Ye Lu’s outfit from head to toe.

"Look at your cheap ensemble, so lackluster. You should be embarrassed to be here looking like this, no wonder they mistook you for a serving staff."

"That’s none of your business." Desiring to avoid an argument, Ye Lu turns to leave.

"Ye Lu, stop right there!" Chen Yuyun blocks her path, a sarcastic look in her eyes, "What’s there to be arrogant about? Sure, you married into a rich family back then, but in the end, you were unceremoniously dismissed and now you’re stuck with two burdens."

Ye Lu’s face drains of color and she hastily covers Chen Yuyun’s mouth.

She nervously looks around, if this was revealed and Shang Jingchen found out, she would be done for.

He would surely demand the return of his ten million yuan.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yuyun angrily pushes her away.

Left with no choice, Ye Lu pleads with her: "Cousin, come outside with me, I have something to tell you."

This was a matter she needed to notify Chen Yan about - Chen Yan would never let that ten million yuan slip away, she was bound to help.

"Why the hell should I go outside with you? I fought for my place here, if you want to leave, go by yourself." Chen Yuyun smirks and waves over the security team, "This woman sneaked in, get her out of here now."

Several security guards immediately rush over, take hold of Ye Lu and commence escorting her out.

While glaring furiously, Ye Lu decides not to resist.

Being forced out might be for the best. If she stayed, this loose-lipped woman could easily reveal her secrets and that would be a fate far worse.

"Stop, what are you doing to her?" An icy, enraged voice pierces the festive buzz of the banquet, instantly silencing the room.

The security guards freeze in their tracks, equally baffled.

The guests were somewhat perplexed, unsure of what had just occurred?

The crowd parts and Shang Jingchen strides forth, his handsome face etched with cold fury, his eyes fixed like daggers on the guards restraining Ye Lu.

Panic stricken, the guards reflexively let go of Ye Lu, who stumbles and falls to the ground.

"Crown Prince Shang, someone said she sneaked in, so we were, we were taking her outside."

The surrounding guests were even more surprised. So the woman had slipped in uninvited, huh? Given her appearance, she didn’t seem like a banquet attendee, she was quite audacious.

But then, why was Crown Prince Shang taking her side?
