Chapter 10
After Lu Beifan was kicked out the Lu family, Old Master Lu and Mother Lu came to see her a few times . As usual, Old Master Lu sought her out to say a few comforting words . He told her to be at ease and to not let this incident cast a shadow on her heart . He told her to continue properly caring for Beichuan . The Lu family wouldn't treat her unfairly .
As for Mother Lu, her former misgivings towards her daughter-in-law had been dispelled . In a great mood, she would come by and hold Ye Zhen’s hand as she inquired after her welfare . Not only did she buy her many expensive skin care products and clothes . She acted as if they were very close and didn’t have any ill-feelings between them . She even promised that if something came up in the future she could ask her for help .
All of these words were said in hopes that Ye Zhen would turn big problems into small ones and small problems into no problems at all . If word got out about this incident, it wouldn't be good for the Lu family's reputation .
Although no one would dare to publicly bring up this matter, the rumors were getting worse . The red marks on Ye Zhen's neck were conclusive "proof" of Lu Beifan's crime .
After returning to their room, Ye Zhen heard Lu Beichuan's caregivers gossiping by his bed .
"Hey, did you see those red marks on Miss Ye's neck?"
"How can I not see? He didn't even avoid such a conspicuous spot . It had to be done by second young master . "
"It can't be . Miss Ye is the second young master's sister-in-law . . . "
"So what if she's his sister-in-law? First young master is already in such a state . We don't even know if he's going to wake up . Mr . Lu has taken second young master to the company . That’s covertly acknowledging second young master's position, which means the entire Lu family will belong to him . It takes two to tango . One hand can't make any noise by itself . Miss Ye is so beautiful . Is she really willing to watch over a comatose person? If this matter hadn't been discovered by Old Master Lu . . . " The following words didn't need to be said .
"You mean . . . OMG, it can't be . Miss Ye doesn't seem like that type of person . . . "
"Doesn't seem like it? Isn't it very normal for this type of thing to happen in wealthy and powerful families? You can know a person for a long time without understanding her true nature . "
Ye Zhen stood outside the door and silently listened for a while . Feeling sleepy, she ended up yawning .
She had that dream again last night . It seemed as if she had been dreaming all night too . When she woke up, she felt very tired . Her body ached as if it had been run over .
Perhaps, it was because the mattress was too soft .
Once she pushed open the door, the conversation immediately came to a halt .
The two caregivers looked at her and stiffly smiled . "Miss Ye . "
"The two of you can leave . I'll take it from here . "
The two caregivers looked at each other . They didn't know if Miss Ye had heard their conversation . They would be dismissed from their duties if she heard them gossiping .
"Okay . "
The two caregivers apprehensively left the room . Ye Zhen stood by the bed and looked at the unconscious Lu Beichuan . She wasn't able to hold back her impulse; she slapped him . The slap was neither too heavy nor too light .
Very quickly, a mark appeared on his pale cheek .
"They said that one hand can't make any noise . Listen, didn't I just make a sound with one hand?” Ye Zhen patted Lu Beichuan's face . Her anger faded and her mood improved a lot as she looked at the red palm-sized mark . "I can only walk the path of a virtuous person in the Lu family . Your younger brother bullied me so badly, but I could only compromisingly agree to let the matter go . So what if he was kicked out of here? Is there anyone here that's not calling me a fickle woman? Since you can't wake up and right this wrong for me, you'll just have to suffer from me venting my anger out on you . "
Anyways, he was going to be a great villain . She would just treat this as attacking a public threat .
Ye Zhen rubbed her left hand as she murmured, "Your skin is too thick . My hand hurts . . . " However, she failed to notice that Lu Beichuan's right hand was clenched, and the blue veins on the back of his hand was protruding .
Her phone buzzed as four messages in a row were received .
Ye Zhen tapped her phone to check her messages . A carefree smile appeared on her face .
