Ye Zhen sat in the car and waited for Lu Beichuan, who was bored to death.
The temperature in the car was just right. The blanket was soft and warm, and it caressed her flat stomach. She thought about it, but other than the child, she couldn't think of any other reason why Lu Beichuan would come to the airport.
The Lu Family was a family that valued rules. Old Master Lu still had the old generation's pedantic and feudal ideas. He valued the Lu Clan and the heir. Lu Shaoren learned to flirt at a young age and had countless illegitimate children. However, Lu Beichuan was 28 years old and was still unmarried. This had become a sore point for Old Master Lu and Mother Lu.
Which parent didn't want to have a house full of children and grandchildren?
As for love at first sight, she had always thought that this so-called love at first sight was just an excuse for men to be lustful.
The phrase "love grows with time" didn't suit her. After all, she had been talking to Lu Beichuan face to face for less than half a month.
Love at first sight, love grows with time — these were all about love.
Lu Beichuan was such a scheming and shrewd man. How could he develop feelings for a woman who was still wet behind the ears in just a few days?
Ye Zhen really didn't think she was that attractive.
So after thinking about it, Lu Beichuan's thoughts were still best for the child.
The car door was pulled open, and Ye Zhen's thoughts were interrupted. Lu Beichuan sat in the back seat and ordered the driver to start the car.
The driver raised the partition between the front and back seats to give the two of them some privacy.
The car instantly quieted down.
The Bentley drove steadily forward, and the scenery outside the car window receded rapidly. Ye Zhen really couldn't figure out the man's thoughts. She coughed softly to break the awkward silence. "Does Old Master know that you're here?"
On Lu Beichuan's wedding day, the relatives and business partners of the Lu Family alone shouldn't be neglected. Why didn't Old Master Lu stop him from getting angry?
"The Lu Family is now under my control. Old Master Lu's words don't have much weight. He can't stop me from doing what I want to do."
Ye Zhen's heart skipped a beat. Was the plot progressing so smoothly?
In the novel, after Lu Shaoren was sent to prison by Lu Beichuan, Lu Beichuan used half a year to completely take over the Lu Family. How come Lu Shaoren had only been in prison for a few days and the Lu Family had already become Lu Beichuan's?
"So from now on, don't think about leaving my side again. I don't want to take you back at the airport a third time." Lu Beichuan had been in charge of the Lu Clan for a long time, so he was used to speaking in a commanding tone. After realizing what he had said, he also felt that his tone shouldn't have been used. He glanced at Ye Zhen's expression, cleared his throat, and said in a low voice, "Now that you have the Lu Family's child, you're Lu Beichuan's wife. What's more, you've taken care of me for so long, so of course I have to repay you."
Biting the hand that fed him!
Ye Zhen held her breath and didn't say anything.
If he really wanted to repay her, he might as well send her away.
What was the point of being the villain's wife when she was going to spend the rest of her life in prison?
"Your father has just been charged by the police, and you're already in such a hurry to hold your wedding. Aren't you afraid that the media will spread rumors?"
"That's because he deserved it!" Lu Beichuan calmly explained, "When I got into a car accident a year ago, he was the one who planned it. He bribed my driver to fake the scene of the accident. If I wasn't lucky, I would've died long ago."
"Planned it?" Ye Zhen was really shocked. "He's your father. He … even if he doesn't usually do things well, he's still your father. How could he …"
The novel had always been vague about the real reason why Lu Beichuan sent Lu Shaoren to prison, let alone what evidence Lu Beichuan used to send Lu Shaoren to prison.
"The evidence is conclusive, and he admitted it himself."
"What you said … is all true. Then why didn't you …"
"You're right. At the end of the day, he's still my father. My father deliberately murdered his own son for his own benefit. I can't let this kind of thing get out."
Ye Rou sucked in a breath of cold air. After a while, she stammered, "In other words, it's really … really your father deserved it. You didn't act recklessly and frame your father?"
Lu Beichuan furrowed his brows and looked at Ye Zhen in confusion. It was fine if outsiders didn't believe him, but even the person who slept next to him didn't believe him?
"Where did you hear this kind of gossip?" Suppressing his anger, he looked at Ye Zhen and said word by word, "I have never done anything illegal or criminal!"
Lu Beichuan really couldn't believe that in Ye Zhen's eyes, he was actually a person who ran amok and used unscrupulous means.
Before the car accident, Lu Beichuan understood that although he wasn't a good person in the traditional sense, he never blindly stepped over the edge of the law. At most, he used some gray area methods in business dealings. He was in a coma for nearly a year after the car accident and had only woken up for a little over a month. Where did Ye Zhen hear this gossip from? How did she conclude that he was someone who would frame his father for the sake of his family's benefit?
