In the living room of the villa, Lu Beifan was kneeling in front of Old Master Lu, crying bitterly. He said that he had been drunk and had been blinded by lard. He had been seduced by Ye Zhen and had taken advantage of her. He begged Old Master Lu to give him another chance.
Old Master Lu sat in the main seat, both hands on his walking stick. He glanced at Lu Shaoren expressionlessly and said angrily, "Shaoren! This is your son. Do as you see fit! "
In the novel, Lu Beifan's mother was Lu Shaoren's true love.
The word "true love" was a bit interesting. It was usually accompanied by a sad and melancholic love story. Unfortunately, for Lu Shaoren, who had countless lovers, this "true love" was too cheap.
Lu Shaoren might have had some feelings for Lu Beifan's mother. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Lu Beifan into the Lu Family out of all the illegitimate children. But in front of the powerful Old Master Lu, true love was bullsh * t.
Nobody knew a son better than his father. Lu Shaoren obviously knew that Lu Beifan had stepped on Old Master Lu's bottom line.
His older brother was unconscious, and his younger brother had coveted his older brother's wife. He had even been caught red-handed. If word of this got out, he would lose all face.
Knowing that he had touched Old Master Lu's bottom line, Lu Shaoren made a prompt decision to abandon his son. "Dad, don't worry. I will take care of this matter."
Lu Beifan scrambled to Lu Shaoren and cried bitterly. "Dad, you have to believe me. It really wasn't me. Sister-in-law seduced me! Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to do such a disgraceful thing! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Mother Lu finally had a reason to vent the anger she had accumulated over the past month. She slapped Lu Beifan hard across the face. "Seduced you? Ye Qing has been taking care of Beichuan ever since she came to the Lu Family. You want to throw dirty water on such an honest little girl? "
Lu Beifan was stunned by the slap. The palm print on his right cheek was visibly red and swollen. He looked battered and exhausted with tears.
"Ye Qing is the daughter of Family Ye. Do you think everyone is as unruly as you?" As she spoke, Mother Lu turned to Old Master Lu and said, "Dad, you have to stand up for Ye Qing. That child is too honest. Although I'm her mother-in-law, she's timid. She doesn't tell me anything. Every time I see her massaging Beichuan for the whole day, I feel … Our Lu Family's daughter-in-law can't let her suffer like this."
Mother Lu didn't like Ye Zhen because Ye Zhen was dull, cowardly, and easily bullied. She had taken care of Lu Beichuan for so long, but Lu Beichuan hadn't woken up. However, she just didn't like Ye Zhen.
As for Lu Beifan, who had taken over the Lu Family's nest and was going to inherit everything in the Lu Family, she wanted to get rid of him quickly.
Lu Beifan was still struggling. "Grandpa, let Sister-in-law come down and confront me! If she hadn't seduced me, I wouldn't have dared to do this! "
He knew very well that he could only push the blame to Ye Zhen. He had finally entered the Lu Family after much difficulty. If he was kicked out, he would really lose everything!
"Confront her?" Old Master Lu sneered and suddenly stood up. "You're such an unpresentable thing. You still want to confront the Lu Family's daughter-in-law?" He looked at Lu Shaoren. "I know you have many sons outside. I can't control you that much. But from now on, I don't want to see this thing in this house or anywhere else using the Lu Family's name to swindle people."
Lu Shaoren repeatedly agreed. He ordered people to take Lu Beifan, who was kneeling on the ground and crying out in repentance, away from the Lu Family.
"However," Old Master Lu took a file from the coffee table and handed it to Lu Shaoren. "Beichuan is still in a coma. We don't know when she will wake up. It's always good to prepare for a rainy day."
Lu Shaoren took the file. Inside was detailed information about a young man. His youthful appearance in the photo couldn't hide the sharpness hidden in his eyes.
He carefully thought about it. Wasn't this young man the one who had gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound when he whipped him with a belt? He was so stubborn that he refused to call him dad.
In the blink of an eye, he had grown up.
***
After Lu Beifan was kicked out of the Lu Family, Old Master Lu and Mother Lu had looked for her several times. As usual, Old Master Lu comforted her and told her not to take this matter to heart. He also told her to take good care of Beichuan and that he wouldn't mistreat her.
Mother Lu, on the other hand, was in a good mood. She held Ye Zhen's hand and asked about her well-being. Not only did she buy her a lot of expensive skincare products and clothes, but she also promised that she could look for her if she needed anything in the future.
She hoped that Ye Zhen would turn this matter into a small one. If word of this matter got out, it wouldn't be good for the Lu Family's reputation.
On the surface, no one dared to mention this matter again, but it became more and more intense behind the scenes. The red marks on Ye Zhen's neck became irrefutable evidence of her 'conviction.'
Back in the room, a few nurses who were taking care of Lu Beichuan were gossiping in front of Lu Beichuan's bed.
"Hey, did you see the red marks on Miss Ye's neck?"
"Why didn't I see them? Why didn't they avoid such a conspicuous spot? I think it was Second Young Master who did it. "
"That's impossible. Miss Ye is Second Young Master's sister-in-law after all …"
"What's wrong with sister-in-law? Eldest Young Master is already like this. It's still unknown whether he'll wake up or not. When Mr. Lu brought Second Young Master to the company, he indirectly acknowledged Second Young Master's status. The entire Lu Family belongs to Second Young Master. It takes two to clap. Miss Ye is so beautiful. Would she be willing to stay in a vegetative state? If Old Master Lu hadn't found out about this matter, I'm afraid … "The meaning was self-evident.
"You mean … Oh my god, it can't be. Miss Ye doesn't seem like that kind of person …"
"Doesn't seem like it? Isn't it normal for something like this to happen in a wealthy family? You can't judge a book by its cover. "
Ye Zhen stood outside the door and listened quietly for a while. She was so sleepy that she kept yawning.
Last night, she had a dream again. It seemed like she had a dream for the entire night. When she woke up, she was very tired and her whole body was sore.
Perhaps the mattress was too soft.
When she pushed open the door, the voices stopped abruptly.
The two nurses glanced at Ye Zhen and smiled stiffly. "Miss Ye."
"Both of you, get out. I'll take care of this."
The two nurses exchanged glances. They didn't know if Ye Zhen had heard what they had just said. Gossiping behind someone's back was punishable by dismissal.
"OK."
The two nurses left the room nervously. Ye Zhen stood by the bed and looked at the unconscious Lu Beichuan. She couldn't help but give him a slap on the face, neither light nor heavy.
Very quickly, a palm print appeared on his pale cheek.
"They say that it takes two hands to clap. Listen to me. Didn't I clap now?" Ye Zhen patted Lu Beichuan's cheek. When she saw the red palm print, her anger dissipated and her mood improved a lot. "I'm a virtuous person in the Lu Family. Your brother bullied me, so I could only compromise and let it go. What's the point of chasing him out? Who doesn't say that I'm fickle now? Since you can't make a decision for me because you can't wake up, I'll have to trouble you to help me vent my anger. "
Anyway, he was a big villain. She would just get rid of him for the sake of the people.
"He's so thick-skinned. My hand hurts …" Ye Zhen muttered as she rubbed her palm. She ignored the fact that Lu Beichuan's right hand was clenched so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand were popping.
She received four messages on her phone.
Ye Zhen opened them and a carefree smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"Five days. The last five days." Ye Zhen looked at Lu Beichuan and smiled. "I'll serve you for five more days. After five days, we can say goodbye."
Her meticulous plan finally bore fruit. She just had to endure for five more days and she would be able to leave the Lu Family. Just thinking about it made her happy.
Ye Zhen yawned. Her whole body was weak and she couldn't muster up any strength. As she twisted her neck to stretch her muscles, she remembered the red marks on her neck that the two nurses had mentioned.
She walked to the bathroom and pulled down her collar. Two red marks about the size of a fingernail were particularly conspicuous on her fair neck. Not only that, but there were also many light red marks in the areas covered by her collar. They were filled with an ambiguous aura.
Ye Zhen's gaze froze. She couldn't help but be stunned.
When did these red marks come? Why didn't she have any recollection of them?
Mosquitoes?
Or allergies?
Ye Zhen rubbed the two red marks with her fingertips and fell into deep thought.
She wasn't an innocent and naive little girl anymore. These red marks were clearly left behind by a sucking kiss. Her skin was fair, and the red marks were so bright that they didn't disappear even after a few days.
But during this time, she hadn't had any intimate contact with anyone except in her dreams.
Could it really be an allergy?
It was late at night. Ye Zhen closed the windows and drew the curtains. She looked at Lu Beichuan, who was still unconscious on the bed. After deliberating for a moment, she hugged the quilt and went to sleep on the sofa in the room.
It was still the same dream.
In the dream, the man rolled over her body back and forth, tossing her around as if he wanted to eat her alive. He was even worse than a wolf or a tiger.
She gasped for breath and shouted for him to stop. She cried and begged for mercy, but the man still turned her over and over again. She could only helplessly accept all of this. She couldn't cry even if she wanted to.
When she woke up, Ye Zhen stretched lazily. In a daze, she closed her eyes and prepared to go back to sleep. The next second, her mind was clear. She opened her eyes abruptly and realized that she wasn't sleeping on the sofa, but on the bed. What made her even more astonished was that her head was resting on Lu Beichuan's shoulder. One of her hands was resting on Lu Beichuan's chest, while the other hand was tightly holding Lu Beichuan's hand under the quilt. They were very close.
This position made it seem like she was hugging Lu Beichuan tightly.
Ye Zhen was slightly stunned. Her mind was blank, like she was having a hangover. She looked at the tightly shut door and got out of bed in a daze.
When did she climb into bed?
The quilt was properly covered on the bed, and the sofa was clean and tidy. Everything in front of her seemed to tell her that everything before she fell asleep was her hallucination.
As soon as she touched the carpet, her legs went soft, and Ye Zhen almost fell to the ground.
When she came back to her senses, she held her waist and hissed. She couldn't believe that the area below her waist was so sore that it didn't even belong to her.
She recalled the dream she had last night. That dream wasn't any different from a normal dream. In the past, when she woke up, she felt refreshed and didn't feel anything. Today, when she woke up, she felt indescribably sore. This kind of direct experience made Ye Zhen wonder if last night was really just a dream.
Everything that happened during this period of time didn't seem to be logical.
She had been following the rhythm of the novel and had no doubts about the plot of the novel. However, she appeared here. Wasn't she the biggest bug in the novel?
Could it be …
