“It doesn’t matter who told me that. I hope that Miss Ye won’t insistently demand for something that doesn’t belong to yourself.”


  Ye Zhen didn’t take her words to heart at all. She waved the pair of scissors in front of Shen Weiyin, then casually tossed it on the floor. “That’s right. People shouldn’t insistently demand for something that doesn’t belong to them. Miss Shen, since you understand this reasoning, you should change out of the dress you’re wearing. It doesn’t belong to you. The dress has gotten dirty and should be thrown away.”


  After saying this, Ye Zhen turned a blind eye to Shen Weiyin’s pale face and strode out of the room.

  To be honest, Shen Weiyin had completely changed Ye Zhen’s impression of young women from prestigious families.

  Fortunately, she had only met one rare piece of work like Shen Weiyin.

  Right after she walked downstairs, Lu Beichuan approached her. Holding her hand, he whispered into her ear, “What’s wrong?”


  “Mr. Lu, you have a lot of rotten admirers. They’re unusually persistent too. I get rid of one and another one comes out. They won’t give up until they become Mrs. Lu.”


  Lu Beichuan furrowed his brow. He looked upstairs and happened to see Shen Weiyin coming out of their room. Something flickered through his eyes.

  “I understand. Thank you for your hard work.”


  After saying that, he let go of Ye Zhen’s hand and walked towards Shen Weiyin’s direction. After the two of them stood together and exchanged a few words, Shen Weiyin’s expression noticeably looked off. However, since she was in view of many of the other guests, she had to keep smiling, causing her forced smile to look increasingly twisted.

  It doesn’t matter if another woman was trying to insert herself in your relationship. The important thing is your husband’s attitude towards it.

  Ye Zhen glanced their way from a distance, then she looked away. For the time being, she didn’t have to worry about Lu Beichuan.

  “Zhenzhen is back.” Mrs. Lu glanced behind her. “Where’s Weiyin?”


  Not waiting for Ye Zhen to speak, Lu Beichuan came from behind her and wrapped an arm around Ye Zhen’s waist. “Miss Shen is feeling a bit uncomfortable. She’s going home early.”

  Mrs. Lu was a bit surprised by that, but she didn’t say anything. “That’s okay. Beichuan, just go tell Old Master Shen we were a bit neglectful with our hospitality, so he doesn’t take offense.”


  Lu Beichuan nodded and left for the main hall after whispering a few words into Ye Zhen’s ear.

  On that side, Old Master Shen was still happily chatting away with Old Master Lu. After hearing those words from Lu Beichuan, Old Master Shen immediately got up.

  Old Master Lu frowned. “Old Shen, your granddaughter is already in her 20’s. You still worry about her?”


  Old Master Shen smiled. “I’ll just go take a quick look.” He quickly headed outside.

  Old Master Shen was getting older. Lu Beichuan didn’t feel at ease seeing him tottering off with only his cane as a support. He assigned a servant to support Old Master Shen as he walked to the parking area.

  Shen Weiyin was currently sitting in the car and sulking. The public had a very good impression of her. She was the ideal young lady from a prestigious family in the eyes of others and couldn’t be lacking in manners when she was in front of outsiders.

  Old Master Shen got into the car. Seeing that Shen Weiyin’s eyes had obviously reddened, he asked, “What’s wrong? Who bullied my precious granddaughter?”


  Shen Weiyin turned her head to the side and wiped away a tear. She shook her head. “It’s nothing.”


  “If it’s nothing, why would you be like this?! Tell grandpa. Who bullied you? Is Lu Beichuan or someone else?!” Old Master Shen was very imposing as he said those words.

  The Shen’s didn’t have as many family members as the Lu’s. In the last three generations, there was only one child in each generation. Shen Weiyin didn’t have any siblings. Thus, Shen Weiyin had grown up with everyone revolving around her. Truly, she had grown up as the precious darling of her family.

  Shen Weiyin’s look, it was obvious she was suffering.

  How could Old Master Shen not understand? He sighed. “Did grandpa put you in a difficult spot?”


  Shen Weiyin stayed silent.

  “Grandpa knows this matter is really putting you in a difficult spot. If you had a sibling, our family wouldn’t haven’t gotten to this point.”


  Hearing her grandpa saying words of self-disdain, Shen Weiyin mustered up a smile to comfort him. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll figure out a way.”


  “Weiyin, grandpa is sorry. If Lu Beichuan wasn’t the one in charge of the Lu’s right now, grandpa wouldn’t have asked you to get close to him.”


  Shen Weiyin took a deep breath. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll definitely get this matter done.”


  Old Master Shen gripped his cane. It took awhile before he finally gave a heavy nod
