Ye Zhen also felt that something wasn't quite right with her recently. She felt tired, sleepy, and lethargic easily. She had looked up the cause of these symptoms on the Internet, and many people said that she was pregnant.
Pregnant? Ye Zhen sneered as she closed the webpage.
She was still a virgin. How could she be pregnant? This was even more ridiculous than those who said that she had a terminal illness!
William gave her a full body checkup and told her that the reason she felt tired and sleepy was because her body was weak and she needed to recuperate. It wasn't suitable for her mood to fluctuate too much.
Lu Beichuan agreed to everything.
Ye Zhen looked at Lu Beichuan in surprise.
During this period of time, Lu Beichuan had been undergoing rehabilitation outside. During rehabilitation, he didn't allow anyone to take care of him.
Ye Zhen could understand this. After all, Lu Beichuan was a proud and arrogant person. Something like rehabilitation would inevitably hurt his self-esteem as a man. But counting carefully, Lu Beichuan was only five days away from waking up in the novel. In the novel, Lu Beichuan could walk freely after waking up without any sequelae. She just didn't know if the current Lu Beichuan would be able to stand up in five days.
Moreover, Ye Qing would be back soon.
When the time came, Lu Beichuan, who was healthy, would focus all his attention on Ye Qing. She would have nothing to do with him. It would only be a matter of time before she left the Lu Family.
A helper came upstairs to look for Ye Zhen. She said that the Family Ye had called and was looking for Ye Zhen.
This was really strange. The Family Ye would call Ye Zhen? Ye Zhen couldn't believe it.
Maybe it was because she had seen Lu Beichuan's attitude towards her when she returned home a few days ago that the Family Ye thought that she was someone of value and could be used?
Ye Zhen went downstairs to answer the call. William looked coldly at Lu Beichuan. "You're such a jerk!"
Lu Beichuan retorted from his wheelchair. "William, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. You have to know that there is a marriage law in China that states that both husband and wife have the obligation to have children. Ye Zhen and I are just fulfilling our basic obligations. How can you say that I'm a jerk?"
That was reasonable.
William knew that he couldn't win an argument with this thick-skinned man, so he couldn't be bothered to argue with him. He only left a few things to take note of and avoid eating before going downstairs.
In the living room downstairs, Ye Ye Zhen was listening to the call.. She smiled when she saw William came downstairs. She greeted him when she saw William came downstairs.
William sighed inwardly. How pitiful, how pitiful. He had actually been targeted by Lu Beichuan.
When William was young, he had been classmates with Lu Beichuan. At that time, William didn't know what kind of person Lu Beichuan was. He only felt that this Asian man was mysterious and unapproachable. But because he had three-quarters Chinese ancestry, William recklessly befriended Lu Beichuan.
There were some forces in foreign schools, and most of them were xenophobic. Lu Beichuan's conspicuous yellow skin made him the target of their hostility. Even William wasn't spared. When they came looking for trouble, Lu Beichuan didn't say a word. William thought that this guy was a pushover. But later, he realized that this guy didn't like to do things personally. He liked to stand in the dark and play tricks. He killed people without spilling blood, played people in circles, and even completely removed himself from the blame.
Lu Beichuan said that a gentleman uses his mouth and not his fists.
William, who was born and raised overseas, didn't understand what a gentleman was. But he had flipped through ancient Chinese books and heard that there were people known as gentlemen in Chinese history. This made William tremble for a while.
It turned out that China was a country with so many gentlemen. It was no wonder that so many prosperous countries had been established since ancient times and were still standing.
It wasn't until later that William came into contact with Chinese culture that he understood that people like Lu Beichuan couldn't be considered a gentleman. There was even a word in front of that — fake!
At the same time that William walked out of the door, Ye Zhen hung up the phone and said to the servant beside her, "Help me prepare a car. I'm going back to the Family Ye."
Lu Beichuan's figure appeared in the corridor on the third floor. "Where are you going?"
The sudden voice gave Ye Zhen a fright. She frowned unhappily and replied coldly, "What does that have to do with you?"
The servant beside her was even more horrified. She reminded Ye Zhen softly, "Miss Ye …"
Ye Zhen snapped out of her daze. She knew that she had been muddle-headed and spoke without thinking. Now that she had regained her rationality, she regretted her tone just now.
She had rebutted him in public and embarrassed a man like that. It really wasn't a wise move.
But to her surprise, Lu Beichuan wasn't angry. He even said with concern, "You're not in good health. The weather hasn't been good recently. If there's no need, it's best that you don't go out."
Ye Zhen knew that she was in the wrong, so she lowered her voice and said, "My dad just called. He said that my mom isn't in good health and asked me to go home to take a look."
Lu Beichuan looked at her coldly and didn't say anything.
After a while, the car was ready. When Ye Zhen got into the car, she realized that the back seat of the Bentley was much softer than usual. There was even a blanket and hot water for Ye Zhen. There were a total of four cars following behind them. The driver drove much slower than usual. The car was so stable that Ye Zhen almost didn't feel any bumps.
The journey that was supposed to take an hour was extended by more than half an hour by the driver. However, Ye Zhen wasn't in a hurry to see her Family Ye's parents, so she didn't say anything.
After getting out of the car, Ye Zhen was led in by Father Ye, who had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Child, why are you only here now? How long has Dad been waiting for you?"
Seeing Father Ye so anxious, Ye Zhen couldn't believe it. Could it be that something happened to Mother Ye?
"Dad? What's wrong? Did something happen to Mom? "
These words happened to be overheard by Mother Ye, who was sitting in the living room. She was neatly dressed and had a rosy complexion. She didn't look like a patient at all.
Ye Zhen sat across from Mother Ye. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Mom, didn't Dad say you were sick?"
Mother Ye forced a smile on her face. She sat next to Ye Zhen and took her hand. She patted the back of her hand stiffly and said, "Mom isn't sick. I just wanted you to come back for a while."
The two of them clearly weren't close, but they still had to pretend to be close. Ye Zhen was flattered. She looked at Mother Ye and said with a smile, "Mom, if you have something to say, you can tell me directly."
Mother Ye wasn't used to being so close to Ye Zhen. She looked embarrassed, but she still took Ye Zhen's hand and said, "It's nothing important. I just wanted to ask you how you're doing in the Lu Family."
"It's okay. It's still the same."
Mother Ye sighed. "Mom knows that it was hard on you to marry into the Lu Family in place of your older sister. I didn't ask for your opinion. Fortunately, you were sensible and obedient. Otherwise, your dad's lousy company would have gone bankrupt a long time ago."
Ye Zhen couldn't wrap her head around the sudden warm tone. Although she was puzzled, she still went along with Mother Ye's words and said with a wry smile, "Mom, don't say that. I'm also a part of the Family Ye. It's what I should do."
Family Ye's parents didn't see the wry smile on her face. They thought that Ye Qing was right. Ye Zhen still harbored resentment toward them for marrying into the Lu Family.
"Mom knows you're a good child. It's been hard on you to stay with the Lu Family this month."
Ye Zhen watched as Mother Ye turned her head to wipe her tears. Her worldview was greatly challenged.
What was going on today? Was the iron tree blooming? Was the sun rising from the west?
