Chapter 116 Unwelcome visitors (2)

On the phone, Father Ye said it would be his 50th birthday in a few days. He was going to host a birthday banquet and invite some friends and relatives to have a lively celebration. He invited Ye Zhen and asked her to bring Lu Beichuan along.

His real intention in inviting Ye Zhen was to have her bring his son-in-law along in order to prop up the Ye family up by showing off his son-in-law.

After all, there was no family that ranked higher than the Lus in the coastal city. Lu Beichuan was a promising youth and was regarded as a rarely seen talented individual by many seniors in the business world. Having such an outstanding son-in-law like Lu Beichuan, who hadnt given him face in the past two months when he went out?

Your 50th birthday? Although she didnt have any feelings for the Yes, after being protected like a canary for the past two months, she felt stifled.

Beside, she was a daughter of the Ye family and hadnt publicly broken off with her family yet. It wouldnt be appropriate for her to skip.

After considering for a while, Ye Zhen agreed, Okay, Ill definitely come.

Hearing these words, Lu Beichuan furrowed his brow.

Ye Zhen was currently over two months pregnant. He placed more importance on her than anything else and treated her like a delicate object that could easily break. If the doctor hadnt said it was good for pregnant women to take strolls outside to get sun, he would even want to confine Ye Zhen in their room. How could he possibly be willing for her to take a tiring car journey back to the Yes?

Next to Ye Zhen, he said in a dull voice, You cant go. You havent been feeling well recently.

Father Ye heard Lu Beichuans voice on the other side of the phone. After telling Ye Zhen to pass the phone to Lu Beichuan, he said, Beichuan ah, what you mean by Zhenzhen isnt feeling well?

Lu Beichuan glanced at Ye Zhens belly. In a lowered tone, he said, Zhenzhen is pregnant.

Pregnant? The news came crashing down. It took a while for Father Ye to recover enough to respond. In a very surprised tone, he said, You said that Zhenzhen is pregnant?

Although Mother Lu had deliberately spread the news of Ye Zhens pregnancy, it was limited to people in the Lus social circle.

Since ancient times, people had been divided into ranks. This practice continued to present-day. Prestigious families were also divided into different tiers. A nouveau riche family like the Yes belonged to the lowest tier in the social circle of wealthy families. If Ye Zhen hadnt married into the Lus because of Lu Beichuans car accident, the Yes would have never been able to establish any sort of connection with the Lus.

And so, if Ye Zhen didnt inform the Yes, then there was no way the news of her pregnancy wouldnt trickle down to them.

Father Ye was truly caught off guard by the news.

They hadnt been married for long, and Ye Zhen was already pregnant?

How how long?

Over a month. Lu Beichuan said, The doctor said Zhenzhens pregnancy isnt stable, so its better for her to stay at home during the early stages of her pregnancy.

Then, when can I and her mom come to see her? There was no reason why parents couldnt visit their pregnant daughter.

Lu Beichuan showed no mercy in shutting him down. No need, you can rest assured that Ill take good care of her. If theres nothing else, lets end the call here.

After saying this, he hung up the phone. He didnt give Father Ye a chance to say anything else.

Mother Lu didnt have a good impression of the Yes, but it would go against etiquette for a daughter to not attend her fathers 50th birthday. Who knows how people would gossip about Ye Zhen if she didnt attend?

Beichuan, how can you decide without asking what Zhenzhen wants first?

Ye Zhen wasnt happy with his despotic behavior either. Mr. Lu, the doctor has said my pregnancy is very stable.

As soon as Lu Beichuan heard that tone, he knew that Ye Zhen was unhappy with him.

Ye Zhen poked at the meat congee with waning interest. I havent left the villa in over a month.

If she was seven or eight months pregnant, she could let this go. But, if he was like this when she was only two months pregnant, the rest of her pregnancy would be unbearable.

It was said that pregnant women would be prone to nervousness, but in her opinion, Lu Beichuan was even more nervous than her. Every day, it felt as if he was gingerly walking across thin ice.

Lu Beichuan remained silent for a while before he said, Alright, when the time comes, Ill go with you.

With him there, nothing bad could happen to her.
