Chapter 141 Harboring ulterior motives (2)

Mother Lu saw her sons tightly furrowed brow. He looked very upset.

Dont worry about your wife. Zhenzhen is a bright person that thinks straight. I could see that when Zhenzhen first came to our home, her thoughts were heavy. Its probably because of Mrs. Ye. It would naturally be good if Mrs. Ye sincerely wants to fix her relationship with Zhenzhen. But if shes harboring ulterior motives, your wife wont be easily fooled. Stop worrying.

Lu Beichuan was silent for a while. Eventually, his brow unfurrowed, and he nodded.

Now that there were only members of the Yes in the hospital room, Father Ye could finally blurt out what had been stifled in his heart.

First, he closed the door to the hospital room, then he urged Ye Zhen in a lowered voice, Zhenzhen ah, were youre parents. How can parents not be with their daughter when shes giving birth? That Mrs. Lu seems to value children a lot. What if something had happened to you when you were giving birth? What if they had to choose between saving you or the baby, and they chose the baby? If that happened, what would your mother and I do?!

Ye Zhen raised her eyes and calmly looked at Father Ye. Dad, theres no such thing as choosing the baby over the mother these days. Youre worrying over nothing.

Sure, sure, Im worrying over nothing. Im just giving you an example, okay? I just meant that its different when your maiden family is present. And that Lu Beichuan, he didnt even call us until after you gave birth.

Ye Zhen remained silent.

Zhenzhen ah, look, youve given birth. Thats such a big thing. Right now, the Lus would definitely grant whatever you ask for Father Ye hesitated and observed Ye Zhens expression. He wasnt sure if some words should be said or not.

Just say what it is that you want.

You know that dads company operations havent been doing well. In the earlier years, the company had more than 500 employees, and the company was barely able to get by with that amount. But lately, the efficiency has been getting worse and worse. The companys gone through several rounds of firing, and now its only an empty shell of about a hundred employees. Dad just wants you to be able to stand with your head held high in the Lus, so I havent given up on my company.

Recently, dad is preparing to make an investment. As long as I can get the money to invest, therell be real profit to make from this. Dad has already mortgaged the family villa, but its not enough. Zhenzhen ah, can you help dad? Talk to Beichuan about dads investment plan and have Beichuan put money into this business venture.

Ye Zhen had heard Father Ye mention this plenty of times during her pregnancy. He called her several times, and the topic of those calls never strayed away from his investment ideas.

Seeing that Ye Zhen was remaining silent, Father Ye gritted his teeth and continued to say, Zhenzhen, dad is only doing this because I want you to be able to stand up straight and speak confidently in the Lus. You can rest assured that investment will definitely make money. Dad wouldnt do something that wouldnt make money! When you were a child, didnt you frequently say that you would help dad when you grew up? That you didnt want dad to have to work so hard? Do you remember that?

Father Yes investment ideas never worked out. It was common for him to lose money on these business ventures. In the novel, if it wasnt for Lin Zhan helping him, the Yes would have collapsed.

Ye Zhen thought it over before answering, I dont know anything about investments. If you really think this investment is profitable, you can go look for Beichuan and talk to him about it. He has good vision. He wouldnt pass on any profitable ventures. If your idea is good, you dont have to worry about him rejecting it.

But

Mother Ye glared at her husband to indicate that she wanted him to drop the subject.

Father Ye wasnt willing to give up, but seeing that Ye Zhen didnt look too happy, he stopped for now. If he said too much, it would only backfire. Sitting on the side, he kept sulkily sighing.

Dont worry about your dad. He can go look for Beichuan himself to talk about that investment. Mother Ye sighed. Mom has been thinking a lot during the past two days. Ive thought things through. Mom was wrong about a lot of things in the past. But in the end, thats all in the past. Even if mom feels extremely regretful, its useless. Fortunately, youre living well now. Mom is relieved about that.
