Chapter 1387: Chapter 1387: Wait and See
However, despite her anger, she didn’t have the guts to deal with the Ji Family like she did with the Jun couple, after all, they weren’t people she could afford to offend.
Ye Lu saw two people appear at the door, one was an energetic old man with white hair, and the other a young, powerful, domineering man. Though their ages, skin colors, and temperaments were different, they shared a similar imposing aura that towered over others, as if all living beings were below their gaze.
As soon as they appeared, people couldn’t help but hold their breath, not daring to make a sound.
Ye Lu showed a hint of surprise. It was unexpected, but not entirely, because she knew Ji Mo, the head of the arms group, would show up, but she didn’t expect Mr. Old Ross from the Ross Family to appear.
She had no connection whatsoever with the Ross Family. Was this Old Ross here to help Yiren? But judging from Yiren’s expression, she didn’t seem to have anticipated his arrival either. Moreover, if Yiren had secured such a strong backing, she would’ve flaunted it by now.
So it meant that this Old Ross might very likely be... here to assist her.
Yet she couldn’t think of any reason why such an elder would personally step in to support her.
Ye Lu lowered her eyes.
Was it the doing of Third Young Master?
The Third Young Master did have some connections with the Ross Family, but those ties were negligible, definitely not significant enough to enlist Old Ross’s aid. So what did he have to pay for this favor?
"What are you standing there dumbly for? Get up there! As the future head of the Hua Group, you can’t be so discourteous!"
Third Young Master Jun snorted, giving her a gentle push, and Ye Lu took two involuntary steps forward.
She turned back in surprise, realizing it was indeed his doing; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so confident in saying she’d be the future leader of the Hua Group.
She looked at the smile blossoming on his pale face, as if it was gloriously illuminated by divine light.
He still cared for her.
She turned back toward the door.
As she passed Yiren, Yiren couldn’t hide her hatred: "Ye Lu, barking dogs don’t bite, but silent dogs do. You’re really insidious."
Ye Lu looked back at her angry face and smiled charmingly:
"Seems like you know you’re the barking dog, but I don’t agree with you about the silent ones. By the way, let me tell you, a trump card only becomes a powerful tool for a turnaround when turned at the end! You were so eager to let the world know about your trump card, so eager to flaunt your backing. Someone so shallow and impatient as you, how do you think you can compete with me!"
Yiren sneered coldly, "What are you so proud of? Do you think you’ve won now? Ridiculous, you’re even more clueless about your arrogance than I am."
Ye Lu lifted her chin and spoke disdainfully, "Then just you wait and see how I will slap you in the face so hard it’ll echo!"
With that, she walked forward, leaving Yiren so infuriated that her pretty face twisted. A woman who was usually as low-key as a quail, who never dared to respond as Yiren aggressively pressed her step by step, was now confronting her with such arrogance and wildness.
This bastard, let’s see who’s watching whom.
"Hurry up, don’t let her steal the spotlight all by herself," Ivanov anxiously glanced toward the door, pushing her along.
Although Yiren couldn’t entirely believe Ye Lu could do anything to her, she couldn’t stop worrying, "Is this Mr. Old Ross really here to help me?"
"Nonsense, could he be here to help that woman? How could both big families come to support her? She doesn’t have such enormous influence!" Ivanov scoffed disdainfully,
