Chapter 145 – Family Heirloom (3)
I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child
âEh...Beichuan,â Father Ye grabbed hold of him to stop him. âIt would be wasting so much time if I went to the investment manager. Wonât it be more efficient if you directly look at my project proposal?â
Lu Beichuan unhappily looked at Father Ye. âThe real waste of my time is you standing here and blocking my way.â He didnât give him any face.
âBut... Beichuan, how can you say that?!â Father Ye half-reproachfully looked at him, but he didnât dare to actually reprimand him. He only quietly said, âAt the very least, Iâm your father-in-law.â
âIf you werenât my father-in-law, you wouldnât even be able to appear in front of me. Mr and Mrs. Ye, youâve seen Zhenzhen today. Please leave.â
Father Yeâs face was a mix of ugly colors, but he didnât dare to say anything. He could only watch as Lu Beichuan entered the hospital room and closed the door.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Inside the hospital room, Ye Zhen had pulled up the covers to block the light. Hearing the sound of familiar footsteps, she knew that it was Lu Beichuan that entered the room. She pulled down a corner of the blanket and asked, âAre they gone?â
âEn, theyâre gone. How was your talk with them?â
With Lu Beichuanâs help, Ye Zhen sat up. âCould it go well? It was the same stuff as always. So boring.â
âDonât bother yourself with your familyâs affairs anymore. Iâll handle them.â
âYou?â Ye Zhen looked at him. âHow will you handle them?â
âDonât worry about it. I have my ways.â
Regarding Mother Ye, Ye Zhen truly didnât want to come into contact with her again. As for Father Ye, he got on her nerves even more, the second he saw her, he would drag the conversation to investment opportunities. It would be a load off her mind if she didnât have to concern herself with the Yeâs messy affairs.
Ye Zhen thought it over before saying, âYou donât have to worry about them. My dad doesnât have the ability to run a company. No matter how much investment money you give him, itâll still end up being money poured down the drain. Heâs a bottomless pit thatâs filled with discontent. Rather than giving him investment money, it would be better if you donate it to charity.â
In the novel, Father Ye had Lin Zhanâs help. But now that he didnât have Lin Zhan, with Father Yeâs lack of vision when it came to investing, no matter how much he was given, it would all be for naught.
Lu Beichuan looked at her side profile. A strand of hair slid down from her forehead. He gently tucked the strand of hair behind her ear. âOkay, Iâll listen to you.â
This gesture was too intimate. Ye Zhen glanced at him.
Shortly after Lu Beichuan said those words, there was the sound of knocking on the door. A nurse brought over an exquisitely packaged item that was marked with express delivery.
âMrs. Lu, someone delivered this item to the hospital and named you as the recipient.â
âA delivery for me? Who was the sender?â
The little nurse shook her head. âIâm not sure about that. That person left after dropping this off at the front desk.â
Ye Zhen took the item. âAlright, thank you.â
âNo problem.â
The exquisitely wrapped express package was a little bit bigger than two adult-sized palms. There wasnât a name or any other identifying marks on the package. It wasnât possible to guess what was contained in the package without opening it.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Beichuan. âMr. Lu, is this a surprise from you?â
Lu Beichuanâs gaze was focused on the express package. He remained silent, but there was clearly hostility in his eyes.
The Luâs hadnât announced that Ye Zhen had given birth yet. So then, who would have sent over this gift?
It seems that this wasnât a gift from Lu Beichuan.
Ye Zhen ripped off the wrapping paper and saw an exquisite antique-style box underneath. She opened the box and saw a blood red jade nestled in the velvet lining.
When she saw the bracelet, her heart immediately leapt.
Wasnât this the heirloom that Lin Zhanâs mother had prepared for her future daughter-in-law in the novel?
