I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child - Chapter 75

Chapter 75 – Wedding Ring (2)

Early next morning, Lu Beichuan went to the office to take up his position as CEO while Mrs. Lu, Ye Qing, and Ye Zhen headed to the Ye’s.

Mrs. Lu had prepared a lot of expensive gifts for her visit to the in-laws. Mother Lu’s jubilant face showed that she wasn’t at all upset that her husband had been arrested.

It wasn’t just Mrs. Lu. Lu Beichuan as well as Old Master Lu, who hadn’t shown his face again after returning to the villa last night, didn’t show any signs of objecting to Lu Shaoren’s arrest.

During the entire car ride, Ye Zhen had misgivings. How had Lu Beichuan proven that Lu Shaoren had tried to commit murder?

Since this hadn’t been clearly written out in the novel, Ye Zhen didn’t know. She only knew that Lu Beichuan was behind Lu Shaoren’s imprisonment, but she didn’t know the reason why he had done it.

There were plenty of troubles in prominent families. There was no reason for her to wade in these muddy waters.

Soon, they arrived at the Ye’s.

Father Ye and Mother Ye were standing at the door and waiting. As soon as Mrs. Lu got out of the car, they greeted her with smiles.

“Mrs. Lu, I’m delighted to have the opportunity to meet you at last! It’s simply the Ye family’s honor to have you personally paying a visit to us.”

Mrs. Lu held Father Ye’s hand and said, “We’re one family. There’s no need to be so polite.”

Father Ye repeatedly nodded and invited her inside.

Mother Ye deliberately fell behind. She swept her gaze over Ye Zhen and Ye Qing. She had clearly seen that Mrs. Lu was holding Ye Zhen’s hand when she had gotten out of the car, but she had thought she might be mistaken. But now, after another careful look, she saw that she hadn’t been wrong.

She quietly asked, “What happened?”

Ye Qing lowered her head and stayed silent. She looked like she had been horribly wronged.

Mother Ye sharply looked at Ye Zhen. “Ye Zhen, what happened?!”

Ye Zhen expressionlessly looked at her. “We can wait until tonight to talk about it.”

These straightforward and clashing words stunned Mother Ye. Mother Ye still wanted to continue to speak, but Ye Qing darted forward and whispered something in Mother Ye’s ear. Her words provoked another wave of anger in Mother Ye.

In the living room, Father Ye had taken out his best tea to serve to Mrs. Lu. “Mrs. Lu, please drink this tea.”

Mrs. Lu looked around the living room. It wouldn’t sound sincere if she tried to praise them for having magnificent furnishing. Fortunately, one of the bodyguards that had accompanied them on this trip brought her gifts into the living room at this time.

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, “Qingqing has been with the Lu family for two months. Beichuan’s body hasn’t been well, so he hasn’t come here for a second visit. This time, I didn’t just come here for a visit. I also need to discuss Qingqing and Beichuan’s wedding.”

“W-Wedding?” Since Ye Zhen had married into the Lu family, Father Ye had been wanting to climb up socially and in the business world through his in-law connection to the Lu family.

But, the Lu family was too high up. He had no hope that he would be able to claim connections to a higher status through his unfavored daughter.

“Yes. Now that Beichuan has recovered his health, we have to have a wedding ceremony. We would be mistreating your daughter if we didn’t. I’ve looked at the upcoming dates. The 10th of the next month is an auspicious date for a wedding. I came here to ask if you or your wife have any opinions or preferences.”

Right after these words were said, Ye Zhen walked into the room. As soon as Mrs. Lu saw her, she gestured at her and intimately pulled her to sit down next to her. “Mr. Ye, your family has raised a good daughter! Shortly after she married into the Lu family, my son woke up from his coma! He can stand up now too. It’s all because Qingqing has put her heart and soul into taking care of Beichuan!”

Ye Zhen only smiled. She didn’t continue the conversation.

There was nothing for her to say. Lu Beichuan didn’t wake up and fully recover because of her hard work. Compared to his film emperor-level of acting, her part and presence was almost non-existent.

Mother Ye and Ye Qing walked into the living room late. They had taken this time to tidy up their expressions. They sat down across from Mrs. Lu.

Father Ye thought for a moment. “The 10th of the next month… that’s only ten or so days from today…. We haven’t even prepared yet. Will that be enough time?”

“There’s enough time. Qingqing has already chosen her wedding dress, and I’ve already chosen the wedding venue. There’s only a few details left that I need to discuss with you and your wife.”
