Lu Beifan was a classic example of someone who was blinded by lust. Whether it was his looks, knowledge, ability, or status, he was not presentable. He had perfectly inherited his father's genes and was lustful by nature.
These days, Lu Beifan's lecherous eyes had already disgusted Ye Zhen. Now, he even dared to take advantage of her?
She only wanted to live a quiet life and quietly leave the Lu Family after she had secretly arranged everything. She never thought that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could bully her.
As soon as Ye Zhen finished speaking, the atmosphere in the dining room suddenly changed. The originally tense atmosphere seemed to have touched a high-tension line. The servants on the side didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
As Mrs. Lu threw the bowl and spoon on the table, Lu Beifan quickly retracted his foot that was rubbing against Ye Rou's leg.
Lu Beifan was still pretending to be confused. "… Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I accidentally touched you."
Ye Zhen smiled. "It's fine."
They were all shrewd people. Although no one saw what was going on under the table, Lu Beifan had been hinting at Ye Zhen openly and covertly for the past few days. His blatant and passionate gaze was obvious to all.
After all, he was the son of his favorite lover, so Father Lu had to help him get out of this predicament.
He took a towel from a servant beside him and glanced at Lu Beifan. "Okay, it's time to go to the office."
Lu Beifan was fearless. He glanced at Ye Zhen proudly as if he had something to back him up. Of course, he ignored Father Lu's warning look.
Ye Zhen laughed in her heart.
Her older brother wasn't dead yet. Relying on the fact that he was now the only heir of the Lu Family, he was already prepared to accept his comatose older brother's wife. He coveted his sister-in-law. The Lu Family didn't lack illegitimate children. Since he was so unscrupulous, Ye Zhen wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in a miserable state.
Ye Zhen had reason to believe that such an idiot like him wouldn't have a good ending even if Lu Beichuan didn't wake up. He was so stupid that he would court death if he was given a role as the male lead.
Lu Beifan got up and followed Lu Shaoren politely as they left the Lu Family.
As soon as Lu Shaoren and Lu Beifan left, Mother Lu smashed the bowl and chopsticks in front of her. She looked resentfully in the direction of the door.
Ye Zhen sat at the dining table. She chewed slowly and calmly finished her breakfast.
She had nothing to do with it.... it was Ye. After all, Lu Beichuan was married to Ye Qing, not her, Ye... was married to Lu Beichuan's wife, not her, Ye of the Of.....
After breakfast, Ye Zhen went upstairs to 'serve' her vegetative husband as usual. The doctor's daily routine examination was coming to an end.
The doctor who examined Lu Beichuan was William, a famous neurologist whom Mother Lu had specially invited from abroad. He was an American of Chinese descent. He wore glasses and looked refined and elegant. He was considered young and promising in the medical field.
Ye Zhen looked worried. "Doctor, my husband … how is he?"
William sighed. His expression was solemn as he spoke in fluent Mandarin. "He's still the same. But don't be discouraged. Everything depends on effort. Give him more massages when you're free to prevent muscle atrophy. He'll recover faster when he wakes up. Also, bask in the sun more often. It's good for his body."
"Okay. Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome. It's what I should do."
After the doctor and the nurses left, Ye Zhen sat by the bed and massaged Lu Beichuan with the techniques she had learned from the masseuse. She pretended to be worried. "Did you know that your wife was harassed again today? When we were having breakfast this morning, your cheapskate brother extended his leg to my thigh. I read in novels …" Ye Zhen hesitated and changed her words. "I heard that you used to be very powerful. How did you fall to the point where your wife is being bullied?"
Ye Zhen looked at Lu Beichuan's thin and chiseled jaw and recalled the various evil deeds Lu Beichuan had done in novels. "I'm only 22 years old this year. I've never felt love or experienced life. I've foolishly replaced my sister as your wife and 'chased away bad luck' for you. I've done my best to serve you, but you see, there's no place for me in this family." She sighed. "So I've decided to leave in two days. Don't blame me. Your parents don't like me, and your brother-in-law even tried to get physical with me. I really can't stay in the Lu Family anymore."
Ye Zhen was in tears. She was almost moved by her own words.
At dusk, Ye Zhen rubbed her sore arms and was about to go downstairs when a sound came from outside the room.
Lu Beifan staggered open the door and was greeted by the smell of alcohol. Ye Zhen subconsciously frowned and held her breath. Just as she was about to call for help, she saw Lu Beifan's covetous eyes. She had an idea and sat back down beside Lu Beichuan's bed.
Lu Beifan was obviously drunk. He couldn't even stand properly. His cheeks were abnormally red, and he burped. He turned to look at Ye Zhen with drowsy eyes.
"Sister-in-law, my brother … How's my brother today?"
Ye Zhen whispered, "Still the same."
"Still the same …" Lu Beifan muttered. He then giggled and said nonsense, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you these days? You're ignoring me?"
Ye Zhen had transmigrated at the wrong time. At that time, "Ye Zhen" had already secretly gotten together with Lu Beifan.
"Ye Zhen" wasn't willing to give in to fate. She felt wronged when faced with her mother-in-law, who deliberately made things difficult for her. Lu Beifan was a womanizer. He was gentle and easy. In just a few days, "Ye Zhen" was coaxed into a land of tenderness.
"I want to take care of your brother." With that, Ye Zhen raised her head and looked at Lu Beifan. She said seriously, "I've thought about it carefully. Since I'm married to your brother, I'm your brother's wife and your sister-in-law. In the future, you should treat me with more respect."
"Respect?" Lu Beifan seemed to have heard something extremely funny. "Sister-in-law, the doctor already said that my brother won't recover and won't wake up. Don't you feel wronged that a virgin like you has to accompany a comatose person for the rest of your life?"
Ye Zhen couldn't stand Lu Beifan's disgusting face and vile behavior. She said mildly, "Why would I feel wronged?"
"I know that Sister-in-law is still young and inexperienced. You don't know what happiness is, but I can guarantee that as long as Sister-in-law has experienced that kind of happiness, you'll know how wronged it is to stay with a comatose person for the rest of your life."
Ye Zhen lowered her head. She was still focused on massaging Lu Beichuan. She didn't seem to take Lu Beifan's words to heart.
Perhaps it was because the window was open, but the wind blew in from somewhere and brought a gentle fragrance. It was different from expensive perfume and skincare products. It was a delicate fragrance that only belonged to a woman.
Lu Beifan subconsciously took a deep breath as if he was enjoying it. He looked intoxicated. "I'm the heir of the Lu Family. In the future, everything in the Lu Family will be mine, including you. I'll give you whatever you want as long as you obey me and be obedient."
Ye Zhen still didn't say anything.
Lu Beifan stood behind Ye Zhen. Under his gaze, he saw the graceful figure sitting by the bed. Her waist was small, and her long, black hair was pushed to the side of her shoulders. Her elegant, slender, swan neck drew an enchanting arc.
It would be a pity for such a beautiful woman to be a widow.
The fragrance in the air became even more intense. The slightly drunk man's mouth was dry, and he was dazzled by the sweet fragrance and beauty. Lu Beifan stepped forward and gently placed his hands on Ye Zhen's slender shoulders. He gently massaged them. His tone was ambiguous, and his intentions were self-evident.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. We'll do it secretly. No one will know."
Ye Zhen didn't respond to Lu Beifan's probing. He became bolder and hugged Ye Zhen tightly from behind.
The fragrance assailed his nostrils, and the drunken man became more and more excited. The sister-in-law he had coveted for so long was finally in his arms. The blood in his body was boiling and rushed to his brain. His face instantly flushed red, and he lost all rationality in an instant.
Just as Lu Beifan was secretly delighted, Ye Zhen's brows were tightly knitted. Her eyes were full of coldness and disdain. Her voice was flat, but in this situation, one would think that Ye Zhen was just pretending to be calm because she didn't know what to do.
"Lu Beifan, let go of me!"
Lu Beifan had always been a scoundrel. He didn't take Ye Zhen's words to heart. Instead, he hugged her even tighter. "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. Big Brother probably won't wake up. You might as well stay with me instead of staying in a vegetative state. When I take over the company, the entire Lu Family will be mine. When that time comes, I'll chase them all out. No one will dare to gossip about you. I'll let you be the proper Mrs. Lu, okay?"
"I'll say it one last time. Let go of me!"
"Sister-in-law, why are you so stubborn? If you stay with me, I can give you anything. What's the point of staying with a vegetative state? "Lu Beifan took a few deep breaths." Ye Qing, baby, follow me. Follow me, okay? I can give you anything. I can even give you my life! "
"You can even give me your life? Really? "A teasing voice whispered in Lu Beifan's ear. At the same time —
"Bastard!" An angry voice came from outside the door. Lu Beifan was so shocked that he immediately let go of her.
An old man with a walking stick stood at the door. He was dressed in a Tang suit, and his hair was neatly combed back. His fierce eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Although he was old, he was someone who had been through a lot. His aura wasn't something that a rich playboy like Lu Beifan could handle.
When Lu Beifan saw him, his legs immediately turned to jelly.
"Grandpa … Grandpa, listen to me. It's not like what you see. It's … it's Sister-in-law … she … she … she seduced me!"
Old Master Lu slammed his walking stick on the ground and said sternly, "Drag this bastard out!"
The two bodyguards outside the door stepped forward and grabbed Lu Beifan's arms. They forcefully dragged him out.
The entire villa was filled with Lu Beifan's pitiful cries of innocence.
"Grandpa, I didn't!" Ye Zhen looked at Old Master Lu with a firm gaze. She didn't show any fear when she met his gaze, but her body couldn't help but tremble.
Old Master Lu sighed. Although he hadn't been home during this time, he had heard about Lu Beifan's beastly behavior. He understood that this young lady had no one to rely on and had no one to complain about the humiliation and grievances she had suffered.
"Don't be afraid. Grandpa knows this has nothing to do with you. It's that bastard Lu Beifan! Don't worry. Grandpa will definitely give you an explanation for this matter! "
Ye Zhen was silent for a long time before she nodded.
Old Master Lu glanced at Lu Beichuan, who was still unconscious, and sighed deeply. "Take good care of Beichuan. Don't worry. The Lu Family won't mistreat you."
Ye Zhen replied softly, "Okay."
Old Master Lu leaned on his walking stick and turned to leave. Ye Zhen sat down again.
If she could mind her own business, she wouldn't have bothered to crush Lu Beifan to death.
Lu Beifan was brainless. He boasted that he had entered the Lu Family and was valued by Lu Shaoren, so he was arrogant and unscrupulous. Unfortunately, Lu Shaoren still had a father who was in charge of the situation.
Lu Shaoren valued Lu Beifan, an illegitimate son. Old Master Lu didn't care. Old Master Lu valued the Lu Family for having a successor.
Moreover, the pedantic rules of the Lu Family were set by Old Master Lu. How could a person who valued rules stand by and watch his younger brother-in-law covet his older sister-in-law?
Ye Zhen looked at the person on the bed and smiled. "Lu Beichuan, I got rid of a rival for you today. Although he was just an ant and I didn't care if I crushed him to death, I did move my fingers and put in a lot of effort. "
