Old Master Lu spoke confidently with a tone of finality.

  Ye Zhen looked at Mother Lu and saw that she had only straightened her back, but remained silent.

  Mother Lu was always aware of her limitations. She didn’t have the right to voice her thoughts in the Lu family. Just like how when Lu Beichuan had been unconscious and Lu Shaoren had brought home an illegitimate offspring, gave this illegitimate son a position in the Lu Corporation, and took away Lu Beichuan’s power, she could only watch.

  If her maiden family hadn’t fallen in status, she would be able to help Lu Beichuan a bit. But now, it was already fortunate if she didn’t become a burden to Lu Beichuan.

  “Beichuan, what do you think?”


  Lu Beichuan’s emotions weren’t in disarray. He merely calmly asked Old Master Lu, “Grandpa, are you going to have Lin Zhan recognize his ancestors?”


  Although all of the blame could be laid at Lu Shaoren’s feet, Lin Zhan’s identity was very awkward. He wouldn’t be able to escape the reputation of being an illegitimate child.

  Lin Zhan was very prideful. If he could tolerate the reputation of being an illegitimate child, he could have returned to the Lu’s and be accepted as a descendent earlier. However, in the novel, Lin Zhan had a deep hatred of the Lu’s. Lin Zhan’s mother had bore a grudge against Lu Shaoren to her dying days, which caused Lin Zhan to harbor resentment against the Lu’s. Don’t even mention recognizing his ancestors. He didn’t even want to admit that Lu Shaoren was his father! But Lin Zhan had changed from his novel self.

  Ye Zhen deeply looked at Lin Zhan. She could no longer predict what choice Lin Zhan would make.

  Old Master Lu took a deep breath. “Beichuan, I can’t be cold-hearted to the deceased Old Master Lin. I owe him for his kindness to me.”


  There was once something between Lin Zhan and Ye Zhen, and he was also her husband’s illegitimate child. Mother Lu wouldn’t feel good living under the same roof as him. It was obvious there would be conflicts between them. If Lin Zhan really moved in, what would her days be like?

  “Sorry grandpa, I can’t accept that.” Lu Beichuan was extremely calm, and he didn’t mince words. “I don’t have a problem with you wanting to repay Old Master Lin’s kindness. If Lin Zhan’s father was someone else, then I would be happy to have him move into the villa. I could even become brothers with him. But his father is Lu Shaoren. If you let him move in, what kind of position are you putting my mother in?”


  “Beichuan,” Old Master Lu said in a deep voice, “Lin Zhan is innocent.”


  Lu Beichuan’s stance was tough as always. “You say he’s innocent. Is my mother not innocent? You want her to face her husband’s illegitimate child every day. How do you want her to deal with that? What is she suppose to think?”


  Mrs. Lu’s expression was stained with anxiety. She slightly shook her head at him. “Beichuan!”


  Lu Beichuan turned a deaf ear, and his tone and expression remained firm. “Grandpa, I definitely won’t agree to this.”


  His words showed that he wasn’t backing down or giving any leeway to negotiate.

  On the side, Lu Shaoyan said, “Beichuan, don’t defy your grandfather!” It was rare to see him looking serious.

  However, Lu Beichuan didn’t pay attention to Lu Shaoyan’s words.

  Old Master Lu tightly gripped his cane. “Grandpa wants to recognize his grandson. You really won’t agree to that?”


  Old Master Lu’s words showed that he had also made up his mind.

  Lu Beichuan and Old Master Lu were standing off. One party was a white-haired experienced old-timer and the other party was young and full of vigor with an imposing aura that couldn’t be contained. Under the circumstances, no one dared to speak.

  There was sweat between Ye Zhen’s squeezed hands. This looked like it was a dispute about whether or not Lin Zhan could recognize his ancestors, but in reality, it was a confrontation between the previous patriarch of the family and the current one.

  If Lu Beichuan gave in now, he would have to continue giving in in the future.

  Chapter 172 – Then I have to work hard now in order to leave behind a bigger inheritance for you to squander in the future (1)

  Of course, Lu Beichuan could understand this principle.

  Not only was he the Lu’s successor, he was also Lin Mei’s son, Ye Zhen’s husband, and their son’s father. They needed him, so there was no room for him to back down.

  The atmosphere in the study immediately tensed up. The pressure made it difficult to breath.

  Old Master Lu loosened and tightened his grip on his cane. One could tell how furious he was from his sinking expression and the protruding veins on the back of his hands.

  In contrast, Lin Zhan seemed like a bystander. He sat there expressionlessly, not showing how he felt about Old Master Lu mentioning that he could recognize his ancestors.

  Lu Shaoyan had changed from his idle persona that he had shown earlier in the day. Acting more befitting to his status as an elder, he admonished Lu Beichuan and told him to not disobey Old Master Lu.

  Mrs. Lu looked worried. She truly didn’t want there to be any conflict between Lu Beichuan and Old Master Lu. Just as she was about to stand up and say a few words to persuade them, Ye Zhen grasped her hands and quietly shook her head towards her.

  Ye Zhen was Lu Beichuan’s wife. She naturally stood on Lu Beichuan’s side and agreed with his position. He wasn’t wrong. He couldn’t agree to something like this. At the front, there was Lu Shaoyan. At the back, there was Lin Zhan. It didn’t matter what role Lin Zhan played in the novel, in the context of the Lu’s, he was Lu Beichuan’s enemy. In addition, Lu Shaoyan had been the one to bring about this incident. There was no way that his intentions could be good. If they allowed a wolf into their home, life would become impossibly difficult.

  Mrs. Lu didn’t understand why Ye Zhen had stopped her. She questiongly looked at her, but Ye Zhen only gave her a “be patient” look.

  Old Master Lu said in a sunken voice, “Everyone out except Beichuan!”


  This matter had to be privately discussed.

  Ye Zhen supported Mrs. Lu by the arm as they got up and left. Lu Shaoyan and Lin Zhan followed them in leaving the study.

  The door to the study closed, only Lu Beichuan and Old Master Lu were left.

  Lu Beichuan understood Old Master Lu’s character. This was the grandfather who had watched him grow up and imparted his values. Old Master Lu also understood his grandson’s disposition. Under the previous situation, there was no way that either side would back down first.

  Now that there were only the two of them left in the room, Old Master Lu’s words softened. “You won’t agree. Why?”


  “I’ve already said my reason, grandpa.”


  “That’s only one of the reasons! You were raised by grandpa. Do you think grandpa can’t tell what you’re thinking?”


  Lu Beichuan said in no uncertain terms, “Since you already know, why are you asking me?”


  “You’re making grandpa very angry. Are you not worried that I’ll go look for a lawyer to change my will and leave my shares of Lu Corporation to someone else?”


  “Grandpa, how you want to use and distribute your assets is your business. It’s up to you. I don’t have the right to interfere. Even if you don’t leave me a single penny, that’s perfectly fine. So why should I be worried?” He said these words lightly as if he truly didn’t care about the assets mentioned by Old Master Lu.

  Lu Beichuan didn’t need to inherit Old Master Lu’s assets to be successful.

  In his opinion, connections and ability were the most important factors in determining victory or failure.

  If there was enough money and assets to support his ambitions, that would be the icing on the cake. But if there wasn’t, it wouldn’t be a disaster for him.

  There was nothing that couldn’t be lost. The only things that belonged to yourself for a lifetime and couldn’t betray you were your natural talents and ambitions.

  The easiest thing to lose was money and worldly possessions, but the easiest thing to gain was also money and worldly possessions.

  “Grandpa, if it’s necessary, I can help you find a lawyer to deal with issues over your will. It’s also your right to recognize any grandchild that you want. You didn’t have to ask me about that at all. But since you asked, I expressed my position on it. In this matter, you won’t hear the answer you want from me,” Lu Beichuan answered decisively. His attitude was firm and unchangeable.

  Originally, if his grandfather had wanted to recognize another grandson, he didn’t need to ask his opinion at all. But since he asked, he should have been able to guess the outcome that he would get.

  Chapter 173 – Then I have to work hard now in order to leave behind a bigger inheritance for you to squander in the future (2)

  “So, you’re saying that you won’t agree to letting Lin Zhan join our family no matter what?”


  A year ago, when Lu Beichuan had been lying in bed, he heard the news that Lu Shaoren had brought an illegitimate son, Lu Beifan, home.

  The son of a mistress wasn’t someone that could be brought to public gatherings. While Lu Beichuan was still alive, Lu Shaoren had blatantly moved this Lu Beifan into the villa, gave him a position in the company, and educated him on the family business. He tried to replace his position in the family. Mrs. Lu could only swallow her anger. Lu Beifan had even dared to bully and make a pass at his wife by his sick bed. Kicking him out back then had been letting him off easily.

  He definitely wouldn’t allow something like that to happen again!

  “I already said this is your private business. But if you ask my opinion, then my opinion is unchangeable. I don’t agree to this.”


  Right now, Lu Beichuan was the one in control. He had over 50% of Lu Corporation’s shares. Without Old Master Lu being aware of it, he had already lost control of the Lu’s.

  Was Old Master Lu’s only intention to recognize Lin Zhan as his grandson?

  If that was it, why would he need to ask for Lu Beichuan’s opinion?

  What he wanted to know was Lu Beichuan’s attitude towards Lin Zhan and if he would be able to enter Lu Corporation in the future.

  “I understand your point, but you should also remember Lu Beifan. No matter how innocent Lin Zhan is, I’ll still regard him as my mortal enemy. There’s always rivalry between brothers. Lu Corporation doesn’t need that many people with the last name Lu. I’m enough by myself.”


  Old Master Lu looked at him. He loosened his tight grip on his cane. He stared at Lu Beichuan for a long time as if he wanted to find clues on his face.

  However, his grandson’s face was calm and composed. He had already become too skilled of a tactician to show his emotions.

  A long time later, Old Master Lu finally sighed deeply. “Grandpa understands your point. I’ll let Lin Zhan recognize his ancestors, but you can rest assured that Lin Zhan will never appear at Lu Corporation.”


  This could be considered as Old Master Lu backing down.

  Lu Beichuan slightly nodded. “I said that you’re free to recognize whoever you want as your grandchild. I don’t have the right to interfere in that. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”


  After saying that, Lu Beichuan got up to leave.

  However, Old Master Lu called out in a deep voice to stop him.

  Lu Beichuan paused his steps.

  “You…… Very good. Grandpa feels at ease with handing Lu Corporation over to you.”


  Lu Beichuan slightly nodded. “I won’t fail to live up to grandpa’s great expectations.”


  He pushed open the door and left. Old Master Lu was the only person left in the study.

  Old Master Lu leaned on his cane. With a bent figure, he tottered over to the window and looked at the servants that were still cleaning up the mess in the garden. He heard the sound of the door opening behind him.

  “Once a person gets old, they should just accept defeat. Beichuan has grown up, and I can’t hold him back anymore.”


  The old butler smiled. “Old Master, you can put your worries down.”


  “Yeah.” Old Master Lu turned around and looked at the old butler. “I’m going back to the ancestral home tomorrow. Call the lawyer over too. I’m going to change my will.”


  “Change your will?”


  Old Master Lu harrumphed. “That brat didn’t give me any face in front of the others. There’s no way I’ll leave my shares of Lu Corporation and other assets to him! I have to teach him a lesson this time!”


  “Old Master, your will……” The old butler understood that Old Master Lu felt guilty about Lin Zhan and wanted to make it up to him. He probably wanted to change his will in Lin Zhan’s favor. But if he did that, wouldn’t Lin Zhan become Lu Beichuan’s bane?

  Old Master Lu was silent for a while, and then he laughed. “I think Zhifei is pretty good. There were so many people at his first lunar birthday celebration, but he didn’t cry at all. I can see that he’ll grow up into someone that can handle important occasions. And that child smiled at me as soon as he was born. He’s sure to be filial when he grows up. He won’t be like his dad, who only makes me mad.”


  After the old butler heard these words, he laughed along with Old Master Lu.

  “Okay, I’ll arrange for a lawyer to come tomorrow.”


  Old Master Lu nodded and didn’t say anything else.

  Chapter 174 – Then I have to work hard now in order to leave behind a bigger inheritance for you to squander in the future (3)

  After leaving the study, Ye Zhen supported Mrs. Lu as they walked to her room. After comforting the anxious Mrs. Lu, she returned to her own room.

  She wasn’t worried about Lu Beichuan. Lin Zhan hadn’t fully matured yet into power, and Lu Shaoyan wasn’t a person of proper conduct. Old Master Lu was a very astute person and would naturally know the right choice to make. It wouldn’t be worth it to him to cause discord between himself and Lu Beichuan over this issue.

  Shortly after Ye Zhen returned to her room, a servant knocked on the door and delivered the many gifts she had received during the celebration. They were all very expensive gifts.

  Ye Zhen immediately saw the pair of watches that Lu Shaoyan had given to her and Lu Beichuan.

  She asked the servant to fetch a pair of sharp pliers. Once she got the tool, she violently pried open the back of the expensive watch without hesitation. In addition to the elaborate and complicated watch cogs, Ye Zhen found something else: a cleverly crafted GPS tracker.

  Sure enough, the novel description of Lu Shaoyan was on target. He was a scoundrel that harbored ill-intentions and had been ambitiously scheming for many years. If Lin Zhan didn’t have the protagonist halo protecting him, Lu Shaoyan might have gotten rid of Lin Zhan too after using him to get rid of Lu Beichuan

  Lu Shaoyan put on the facade of someone that fooled around all day. He hid his shrewdness very well and was more skilled than he appeared. This type of person was much more difficult to deal with than Lin Zhan.

  At the very least, if Lin Zhan opposed someone, he would do it openly and forthrightly. In contrast, Lu Shaoyan was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. At any moment, he could jump out to bite you while you were caught off-guard.

  The only thing that Ye Zhen didn’t understand was, why were Lin Zhan and Lu Shaoyan working together now?

  The door was pushed open, and Lu Beichuan walked into the room. While taking off his jacket and tossing it onto the couch, he pulled at his tie to loosen it. His expression didn’t look good.

  “How did your talk go with grandpa?”


  Lu Beichuan looked over at her. He saw the broken expensive watch on the desk, but he didn’t ask a single question. “Grandpa is still going forward with letting Lin Zhan recognize his ancestors, but he’s also agreed that he won’t allow Lin Zhan to enter Lu Corporation.”


  “That’s the best of both worlds.”


  “Yeah.” Lu Beichuan’s eyes flashed slightly. Apropos of nothing, he asked, “If one day, I……”


  “Don’t worry. If one day you die, I’ll enjoy and squander the huge inheritance you leave me. I’ll raise Zhouzhou by myself.” Ye Zhen was very emotionally moved. She raised her head to look at Lu Beichuan. Full of genuine raw emotion, she said, “I’ll miss you.”


  For lack of a better option, Lu Beichuan could only smile and didn’t say the real question that he wanted to ask.

  With a gaze of infinite tenderness, he said to Ye Zhen, “Then I have to work hard now in order to leave behind a bigger inheritance for you to squander in the future.”


  “Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu. I’m very touched.”


  Her loving expression was truly exaggerated, but a few words from Ye Zhen was enough to completely dissipate the little bit of unhappiness Lu Beichuan felt when he left the study. His eyes were filled with smiles, and his heart was filled with tender love for her. It was as if his tiredness would melt away just from hearing Ye Zhen’s voice.

  Looking at Ye Zhen’s moving lips, Lu Beichuan couldn’t resist trying to kiss her.

  With sharp eyes and agile hands, Ye Zhen evaded him and covered her mouth. Unromantic, she asked, “What are you doing? We’re not in public and you want to take advantage of me?”


  Lu Beichuan ended up kissing the air. He chuckled. “Alright, I won’t take advantage of you. You must be tired from today. You should go to sleep early.”


  “Ah, wait!” Ye Zhen remembered that she had important information to share with him.

  Chapter 175 – Did she really think that she could bring her whole family up just by marrying into a prestigious family? (1)

  Ye Zhen placed the GPS tracker that she had found in the watch in front of Lu Beichuan. “I found this GPS tracker in the watch that your uncle gave me. If you don’t believe me, you can open the other watch yourself to look and verify if I’m telling the truth.”


  Lu Beichuan picked up the tiny GPS tracker with his fingertips. After feeling it between his fingers, he tossed it back onto the desk.

  “You don’t have to concern yourself with this matter. I’ll deal with it.”


  Since the big boss said he would deal with it, Ye Zhen could no longer be bothered to care about this issue any further. Besides, this wasn’t an issue that she could resolve herself.

  Ye Zhen entered the bathroom to take a shower.

  Hearing the sound of falling water, Lu Beichuan picked up the other watch, which was in a masculine style, and looked it over. The small GPS tracker was by his hand.

  The craftsmanship of the watch was exquisite. A glance would be enough to see that it was very expensive.

  No one would have suspected that this carefully hidden GPS tracker would be inside this expensive gift.

  First, Lu Shaoyan brought Lin Zhan back home to recognize his ancestors, and then he gave such a gift while harboring evil intentions. Anyone would be able to see through Lu Shaoyan’s rapacious ambitions.

  Lu Beichuan truly didn’t understand why Lu Shaoyan would do this.

  He picked up his phone and called a number. With a forceful tone, he tersely ordered, “Two things. First, I need all the details of my kidnapping case from 18 years ago as well as the status of those kidnappers. Second, investigate what Lu Shaoyan has been doing while abroad in the past few years. I want to know everything. Don’t leave out any details.”


  After saying that, he hung up.

  Ye Zhen walked out of the bathroom. Wearing silk pajamas, she was half-covered up. Her hair was wet, and she very casually sat down in front of her dressing table. She tilted her head to the side and started drying her wet hair with a towel.

  She didn’t notice that as she did this, one side of the silk pajamas slowly slid down on her shoulder. Her slender and fair-skinned swan-like neck was extremely enticing. Her tempting shoulder was half-exposed. There was a rosyness in her fair skin from the hot shower.

  Lu Beichuan was sitting nearby and staring at the woman whose body wafted out an alluring fragrance after her recent shower. His eyes darkened.

  It would be difficult for any man to remain sitting when presented with this situation and scenery, especially Lu Beichuan, who had been suppressing his desire for so long.

  No one would describe him as a gentleman that was above temptations like the famous Liu Xiahui.

  However, Lu Beichuan knew that he had to remain calm.

  Calm down, calm down a little bit more.

  He had to be the epitome of a gentleman that was above temptations.

  Seemingly feeling Lu Beichuan’s burning gaze, Ye Zhen paused in drying her hair. She turned and doubtfully looked at Lu Beichuan.

  But when she turned around, she only saw Lu Beichuan calmly flipping through documents. He even raised his head and nonchalantly looked at her. “What’s wrong?”


  Ye Zhen had goosebumps. In the end, she shook her head and went back to drying her hair.

  ***

  At the same time, inside an unremarkable car in Shengshi Entertainment’s parking lot, a fashionably dressed woman handed a file to the woman sitting next to herself. Shengshi Entertainment was the largest entertainment company in this coastal city.

  The light was weak in the car, so it wasn’t possible to clearly see the scene inside. It was late at night, but the fashionably dressed woman was wearing sunglasses to cover her eyes.

  “Choose one that you find pleasing to the eye in this folder, and I’ll make the arrangements for you.”


  The other woman cursorily looked through the documents. The documents were profiles of men. It included their photos, achievements, assets, and their companies, but most of them were old men in their forties or fifties.

  “What do you mean by this? Weren’t you going to give me the resources tonight to contact directors and enter the group?”


  Chapter 176 – Did she really think that she could bring her whole family up just by marrying into a prestigious family? (2)

  The fashionably dressed woman took off her sunglasses. She had on a lot of eye makeup, but it still couldn’t hide the long scar at the corner of her right eye. Smiling in amusement, she said, “Ye Qing, you can’t be naive enough to think good things will just fall into your lap, right?

  The person sitting next to this woman was indeed Ye Qing, who had entered the entertainment circle a while ago.

  “Older Sister Li, what…… What do you mean by this? You took my money. You promised me.”


  “Yes, I promised you that I would find a path to riches and fame for you.” Older Sister Li lazily played with her sunglasses. “That’s why I’m giving you the opportunity to choose the one you want. If it was someone else, they wouldn’t even have the chance to choose. In the entertainment world, you’re already fortunate if a financial backer will be interested in you.”


  Older Sister Li glanced at her from the side. “Don’t be so reserved. You’re already someone that’s entered the entertainment world. Didn’t you check the situation before stepping foot into this world? How can you get ahead without paying anything?”


  “But……”


  “No buts. Don’t you know that you’re a rare commodity right now? It’s your luck to have the same face as your younger sister.”


  Ye Qing froze when she heard the words “younger sister”. A strong feeling of embarrassment rose up in her heart.

  “Why are you bringing her up?”


  “Don’t pretend. Everyone knows that you and Ye Zhen are identical twins. It’s a pity though. You’re not as lucky as your sister, who was able to marry Lu Beichuan.” Older Sister Li smiled. “You two have the same starting conditions, but different fates. You can only accept your lot in life. Do you have any idea how many people in our industry are publicly and covertly approaching me to arrange for a hook up with you?”


  Ye Qing’s complexion was extremely ugly. She tightened her grip on the folder of documents.

  “I don’t want to know.”


  Older Sister Li glanced at her and suddenly tried using kind words to persuade her, “Okay, I’m sure you find this situation unfair. I won’t mention it anymore, okay? However, there is one thing I have to make clear to you. You want resources. That’s no problem. With your face and figure, as long you’re willing to risk everything and spread your legs, you can have any resource that you want. I’ve told you from the beginning that this industry isn’t easy.

  The connections and paths to what you want aren’t easy to get. A rich family background isn’t enough. I’ve carefully selected the people that I chose for you. Don’t worry. They’re all generous spenders. They won’t treat you badly.”


  Ye Qing took a deep breath and returned the folder with profiles of old men to Older Sister Li.

  “No need. Thank you Older Sister Li for your kind intentions.”


  “I didn’t think you would be so stubborn. Alright then, since you’re not willing, there’s nothing I can do about that. Although……” Her tone changed. She looked at Ye Qing with a smile. “I can’t just take your money and do nothing. How about this, I’ll point out another path for you. It’ll be up to you if you can succeed.”


  “What path?”


  After Ye Qing saw that Older Sister Li wanted to introduce her to old men, she was unwilling to trust her again.

  However, succeeding in the entertainment industry truly wasn’t as easy as she thought it would. In the past year or so, other than getting a few small endorsement deals and acting in a few supporting character roles in minor shows, she hadn’t gotten any other jobs.

  At the same time, she had tasted plenty of indifference and bitterness in the entertainment world. She knew full well that if she couldn’t advance, then she would be destined to be trampled by others.

  Older Sister Li was an old timer in the entertainment world. She had a thorough understanding of the rules and ways in the entertainment world.

  Ye Qing had thought she only needed to spend money and Older Sister Li would find a path for her. She hadn’t expected that it would be a path of no return.

  Chapter 177 – Did she really think that she could bring her whole family up just by marrying into a prestigious family? (3)

  “Didn’t your sister marry Lu Beichuan? If a person like Lu Beichuan is willing to say a few words for you, the big boss at Shengshi Entertainment will give him face. Moreover, I heard Lu Corporation’s CEO is very ambitious. The Lu Corporation’s subsidiaries are involved in various fields, including the entertainment industry. Right now, that company is only at the exploration stage, but he doesn’t look like the type to abort things halfway. If you could seek him out as your backer, you could have all the resources that you want.”


  It was true that Lu Beichuan would be a top tier backer, and she almost could have gotten this top tier backer as her husband!

  Thinking of this again, Ye Qing hated Ye Zhen to the bone!

  “I know that it’s inevitable that you feel it’s unfair that your sister married so well, but no matter what, Lu Beichuan is your brother-in-law. It’s only right and proper that he helps you. There’s nothing wrong with expecting your family member to help you. You have to learn to be tactful and slick. You have such a good resource available to you, but you’re not taking advantage of it. Instead, you seek out me, a minor player. I really don’t know what you’re thinking. It makes me feel bad for you.”


  Ye Qing stayed silent.

  “Actually, I can make a guess. You have a surly and stubborn temper. You think a lot of things are beneath you. Based on the environment that you grew up in, I can guess you were the type of girl that everyone worshipped and treasured. You entered the entertainment industry too quickly, and you’re not used to the difference in the treatment. The gap is too big from what you’re used to.

  I can also understand that you’re jealous that your sister married so well. But you shouldn’t let that keep you from having a relationship with your sister. Doing that only hurts you. You’re the one that has to live your life. Are you not tired of having to compromise in the entertainment industry yet? Bend your head in front of your sister and have her speak to Lu Beichuan on your behalf. This method will definitely work.”


  Ye Qing didn’t say anything, but Older Sister Li felt that her objective had been achieved. She had said everything that she needed too, so there was no need to say anything extra.

  “Alright, go and think through this matter yourself. At the very least, you’re sisters. You can let go of any grievances between the two of you. I’ll leave first. If you regret……” Older Sister Li raised the folder with profiles of old men. “You can come find me. Don’t worry, you can still choose which one you want.”


  After saying this, she put on her sunglasses, pushed open the door, and got out of the car.

  Ye Qing remained sitting in the car. She didn’t move for a long time.

  Dying would feel less painful than asking Ye Zhen for help. However, Older Sister Li was right. If Lu Beichuan helped her, even if it was only by saying a few words, her life would get much better.

  As long as she was willing, willing to beg Ye Zhen, then she would have an unending amount of resources.

  She just had to be willing to give up her pride and beg Ye Zhen.

  But how could she be willing?

  Ye Qing punched the seat in front of her. Beg Ye Zhen for help? Dream on!

  ***

  After leaving Ye Qing’s car, Older Sister Li entered a BMW. She took off her sunglasses and took out her phone to make a call.

  “Miss Shen, you can rest assured that I said everything that I should. I’m sure that Ye Qing knows what she has to do.”


  On the other end, Shen Weiyin said a few words before hanging up.

  She deliberately had Older Sister Li get in touch with Ye Qing. She wanted Ye Qing to ask Ye Zhen for help. If Ye Zhen refused to help, then these two sisters would have irreconcilable differences and it would be easier for her to manipulate Ye Qing in the future.

  However, it would be even better if Ye Zhen agreed to help.

  After Ye Zhen repeatedly requested help for her family, with how busy Lu Beichuan was with work, he was sure to get fed up with her as time went on.

  Shen Weiyin sneered.

  Did she really think that she could bring her whole family up with her just by marrying into a prestigious family?
