Chapter 139: Why Isn't Any Scumbag Woman Like You!

The others immediately crowded around and chimed in, "Yeah, exactly! Why won't you answer President Gong's calls?"

Ye Lu: ......Here it comes.

She said nothing, however, and silently took out the written agreement, holding it up high right in front of her Ancestor.

She made it abundantly clear that he was expected to keep his promise and study diligently.

The blooming smile on Ye Wuqi's face vanished instantly: "I won't ask anymore. Can you put that away, please?"

Ye Lu shook her head.

Instantly reverting to the behavior of a child, Ye Wuqi burst into tears, sobbing so hard he could barely catch his breath.

Ye Lu immediately deployed her countermeasure: "I just transferred two million to your bank account. Plus the one million that was scheduled to be deposited today on the first—that's three million in total. Didn't you receive it?"

"Huh?" Ye Wuqi froze, his tears stopping abruptly, though they still lingered in his eyes. He hastily fished his phone out of his pocket. Seeing that the bank really had sent him a text message confirming a deposit of three million, his face instantly lit up with a beaming smile. "It's real!"

"Holy crap!" Qin Zhaoyu and the others were completely shaken.

Qin Zhaoyu, in particular, didn't even stop to think before blurting out, "Sister Lu, I used to think Brother Qi was a jerk because he wouldn't accept you, yet he took your money. Now I think you're an even bigger jerk for using the money President Gong gave you to keep another man! And you spoil this other man so much! Even that scumbag Tao Yue would have to bow down to you in defeat. How could you even do this?"

At that, Qin Zhaoyu was consumed with agonizing envy and let out a dramatic howl, "Why isn't there a single heartless woman who treats me the way you treat Brother Qi? I'm not that bad myself!"

Ye Lu: "......"

Previously, they had all been baffled as to how she could possibly give her Ancestor so much money. But ever since they learned that Gong Lü liked her and that she was even living with him, their curiosity had vanished. They all unanimously concluded that her money came from Gong Lü, and that everything she spent belonged to him.

After a brief moment of silence, Ye Lu offered the same explanation she always gave: "I'm not using his money. The money I have now is entirely earned by myself."

Qin Zhaoyu and the others stubbornly refused to believe it. "You're a top student and super smart, sure, but how old are you anyway? Can you really make that much money? You're definitely still spending President Gong's cash!"

Deep down, Ye Wuqi actually believed her, because his Brother Lü had once mentioned never having given Ye Lu that much money. On the surface, however, he put on the exact same skeptical expression as Qin Zhaoyu and the rest.

Seeing that none of them believed her, Ye Lu didn't bother wasting her breath explaining further.

She simply reached into her school bag, pulled out several thick stacks of meticulously compiled study notes, and handed them to her Ancestor.

The Ancestor didn't take them right away. Instead, he just stared at the hefty stack in her hands and asked, "What is this?"

"The key points for each subject, compiled for you."

"Guh... guh..." The Ancestor burst into tears all over again, weeping like a toddler, sobbing until he was completely out of breath.

Ye Lu's face went cold. "Do you really think I'm going to give you money every time you cry?"

Ye Wuqi instantly choked back his tears, wiped his face with his hand, and slipped right back into his cheeky grin. "Why so serious? I was just joking. Thanks for putting together these study guides for me, haha."

With that, he lunged forward and grabbed the stack of materials in a tight embrace.

Thinking they wouldn't be very heavy, he nearly dropped them on the spot.

"So heavy..." Ye Wuqi genuinely felt like crying for real this time, but he managed to hold it in. Crying wouldn't get him any money now anyway, boo-hoo!

Though Ye Lu maintained a completely expressionless face, inwardly she let out a massive sigh of relief.

Good, the Ancestor had been successfully bluffed.

Otherwise, she would have had to shell out more cash.

Back when she was burning paper money for her Ancestor, she had never realized how expensive it was.

Mainly, her wealth still wasn't vast enough, and she had plenty of other places that required funds. Once she had endless amounts of money, everything would be fine.

When that time came, she would just have to show the Ancestor a bit more filial piety to make up for today's shortcomings.
