Little Miss Devil: The President’s Mischievous Wife Chapter 474

“I’m sorry, but Lu Xinyi has the final say over this matter. Do pray that she’ll brush it off and give you a chance. You have to keep in mind that you have to treat everyone fairly because who knows who you were talking to? She could make or break you at will.”
Xia Yuhan stared at Lu Xinyi. She thought that her lady boss had developed strength and courage since the first time she met her. Lu Xinyi carried herself confidently, unaware of the appreciative and jealous glances thrown her way.
“President Shen, please reconsider. I know my daughter offended your woman, but this is too much…” Chu Zhihao said after recovering from the shock he’d received today.
“You can’t do this to us!” Chu Ting jolted up from her seat and yelled at Lu Xinyi. The couple turned their heads towards her with a displeased expression on their faces.
At his daughter’s outburst, Chu Zhihao felt so nervous and scared that he couldn’t utter a single word. He was horrified that this dumb daughter of his keep digging her own grave by talking back to Shen Yi.
At that moment, Chu Zhihao realized that offending Lu Xinyi meant touching Shen Yi’s bottom line. If he had thought that his daughter was a bully, she was no match against Lu Xinyi’s bullying. Now, he truly understood what ‘shooting your own foot’ with ignorance felt like.
He was filled with regret. Why was he unlucky today? He came today to save his daughter’s ass, but who would have known he’d step into quicksand and sink before he could ask for help. His eyes then landed at Lu Xinyi. This was all because of this woman!
Didn’t people say that President Shen was single and was interested in men? So how did Lu Xinyi ended up being his woman?
No matter how powerful and wealthy the Chu family was, they were nothing compared to the Shen family!
Chu Zhihao could only surrender in defeat. He could never go head to head against Shen Yi. He would be crushed before he could make a move. He regarded Lu Xinyi and said talked in a low voice, “Miss Lu, it’s all my fault. I didn’t raise Ting’er correctly. As her father, please let the issue aside and drop the case against her. I’m sorry. Just now, my daughter offended you again.”
While he was talking, he cupped his hands politely to Lu Xinyi, hoping she’d let Chu Ting off.
Lu Xinyi chuckled. Her fingers played with her husband’s left hand. Her mouth curled into a devilish smile, leaving Shen Yi mesmerized by it.
“Mr. Chu, you should be worried about yourself, but I have to commend you for taking your daughter’s welfare a priority. Just now, Chu Ting was rash to President Shen, and earlier—in front of our customers—she slapped me, the Young Madam of the Shen family. What kind of punishment do you think she should have?”
“Y-Young Madam?”
Chu Ting and Yao Zhelan were rendered speechless from the revelation. Young Madam? Lu Xinyi was the Young Madam of the Shen family?! Both of their hearts and dreams were broken when they heard it.
Not only the two women were surprised, but also the manager and the store attendants of Flair Apparel.
Now that Chu Zhihao understood it, he somewhat regretted looking down at Lu Xinyi. Even a fool could see how Shen Yi doted on his wife.
“This isn’t the first time Chu Ting offended me. How arrogant was she for looking down at my chosen profession? Me, the Young Madam of Shens, works as your executive chef? You must be joking. Secondly, she’d called me a bitch. I’m pretty sure I’ve only been with one man, and that’s my husband. Don’t know where Chu Ting got that idea, but that’s clearly defamation. Does the Chu family think the Shen family is easy to be bullied?”
Chu Zhihao wanted to vomit blood from Lu Xinyi’s words while Jiao Jiao wanted to shout and applaud her mistress. Obviously, it was a simple catfight between her and Chu Ting but being a devious woman that she was, Lu Xinyi involved the Chu and the Shen family over their quarrel. This woman looked small and demure but her tongue wouldn’t let anyone look down on her.
“Madam Shen, Just now, she was indeed rude to you.” Chu Zhihao now saw Lu Xinyi in a different light. “However, this was just a simple misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with my family offending yours. This old man is asking you to please let this matter go.”
“Really?” Lu Xinyi cupped her chin out of habit, “‘coz I clearly remember seeing Chu Ting also daring to raise a hand to Shen Yuyan. If that doesn’t say that she looks down on my Shen family, then I must be a fool.”
The old man gritted his teeth in frustration. Talking to Lu Xinyi was harder than dealing with the demon king himself!
He bowed his head and begged Lu Xinyi’s forgiveness.
“Madam Shen, please be a bigger person and forgive my daughter.”
“What if I don’t want to?” Lu Xinyi felt her husband’s arm snaking around her waist and squeezed her affectionately. She paused, looked at him over her shoulder, and chuckled.
“I can’t let my daughter’s name be tarnished by a legal case.”
“Oh?” Lu Xinyi paused for a moment. “I heard you’ve opened seven restaurants in a span of three months. Most of them are located in the Shen family’s establishments like the one you have here at Cloud Mall, and they are doing very well. Why don’t you prove your sincerity to me then? You said this matter has nothing to do with both families, but how do you plan to convince me?”
Her bodyguards—as well as Chu Ting and Yao Zhelan—couldn’t understand what Lu Xinyi meant, but for others who knew what it was about, they couldn’t help but think how shameless Lu Xinyi was.
She was trying to extort money from Chu Ting’s family!
Xia Yuhan covered her mouth and turned to turn on her side, trying hard to suppress her laughter. Beside her, the manager’s jaws dropped. Offending her big boss was truly a mistake on her part!
Shen Yi pressed his lips and hid his smile on his wife’s thick hair. Ah, she was indeed the demon king’s bride. Only a vile and shameless woman could extort the other party like this! However, he wasn’t planning to stop her. If she wanted to play with the Chu family and extort money she never short of, then so be it.
Chu Zhihao was also speechless. He’d never met a woman as shameless as Madam Shen. No wonder Shen Yi married her. If Lu Xinyi didn’t let the matter off, his businesses within the Shen’s properties would be terminated for good.
Seeing the old man hesitating to agree, Lu Xinyi suddenly cradled her head on her trembling hands, surprising everyone. Shen Yi blinked but was excited to see what his naughty wife was up to. He’d need to play along with her.
“Xinxin, what’s the matter?” he held her shoulders and pushed the stray tendrils of hair away from her face.
“Darling, I feel dizzy. Do you think I should get checked? But I’m short of money now because I just opened this store. I’m broke right now. I think I need two million dollars. Lower than that won’t do.” She shook her head. “What do you think, dear? Is it enough?”
