She thought of the novel’s temperamental Lu Beichuan and worriedly said, “First, absolutely don’t do anything that’s illegal. Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re very powerful. No matter how powerful you are, you can’t escape from being punished by the law.
“Second, you were a perfectly good man. You have a wife and a son. Why did you fall for another woman? Wouldn’t it be good just to live your lavish, wealthy lifestyle?”
“Third, once you have a child in the future, you have to raise him properly. You’re the child’s father. You have to serve as a role model and walk him down the right path!”
These three points were probably the reason why the villain had walked to his doom, step by step.
Although she knew that Lu Beichuan couldn’t hear her words, Ye Zhen continued to quietly urge him, “You have to live a good life. Live a good life by being magnanimous person.”
Humans, they were all visual animals.
If a very handsome man was weakly lying in front of you and you knew that he was going to experience a dark life and how he was going to go down the wrong path, step by step, wouldn’t you be inclined to save him?
Ye Zhen didn’t know what other people would do in her situation. Anyways, this inclination had struck Ye Zhen, but it was only an inclination. She wasn’t willing to stay by Lu Beichuan’s side and help him avoid misfortune.
She knew what her fate would be like if she stayed here.
After going downstairs, Ye Zhen went to look for Mother Lu and told her she wanted to visit her maiden family to get something.
Since there was no threat to her position in the Lu Family recently, Mother Lu’s mood had improved a lot. Smiling, she had the chauffeur drive Ye Zhen over and even urged her to be careful and take her time. If she wanted to reminisce, she could stay there overnight and come back tomorrow.
This matched Ye Zhen’s intention.
Right after the chauffeur dropped her off at the Ye Family’s home, Ye Zhen ordered the chauffeur to go back without her. She said that she planned on spending the night here.
Although the Ye Family couldn’t be compared to the Lu Family, they were wealthy enough to be considered the nouveau riche. An ordinary family would never be able to afford the Ye Family’s detached three-story villa.
“Qingqing?” Seeing her daughter walking into the living room, Mother Ye happily got up. However, in the next second, she thought of something, and her good mood plummeted. “Oh, it’s you, Ye Zhen?”
Ye Zhen quickly walked over and quietly said, “Mom, it’s me.”
Mother Ye sighed. She sat down. Her tone sounded disappointed as she asked, “Why did you come back?”
“I came back to get something. I’ll leave soon.”
Mother Ye nodded.
Ye Zhen knew that Mother Ye didn’t like her. It wasn’t just because “Ye Zhen” was inarticulate, timid, and had mediocre abilities. It was more because when Mother Ye was giving birth in the hospital back then, Ye Qing’s birth had gone smoothly, but Ye Zhen’s birth had almost taken Mother Ye’s life.
Thus, Mother Ye had always treated Ye Zhen indifferently. It wasn’t as bad as dislike, but she didn’t care about her either. She spent the majority of her energy on her older daughter. This daughter’s accomplishments allowed her to be immensely proud of her.
Now that her older daughter had run off with an impoverished man, she was worried that she wasn’t eating enough or sleeping well. During the past month, Mother Ye hadn’t been able to sleep well; she tossed and turned every night.
Ye Zhen passed through the living room and went to a room. This room was exquisitely decorated and stylistic arranged. A moment of thinking and Ye Zhen knew that this wasn’t her room. She closed the door and open the door to the other room.
—
“Mom, I’m going back.” Mother Ye didn’t like her. There was no reason for her to linger here.
Mother Ye looked up and asked, “Do you have any news of your older sister?”
Ye Zhen shook her head.
Mother Ye sighed. Disappointed, she waved her off. “Alright then, you can leave.”
She seemed to have no interest in asking about the quality of her life in the Lu Family.
Ye Zhen coldly nodded. Mother Ye didn’t have any affection for her, and she felt the same way, so she naturally wouldn’t waste her time by staying here. She immediately turned to leave.
However, right after she walked out of the Ye Family’s villa, she saw a smiling Uncle Xiao standing in front of a shiny Bentley. “Miss Ye, hurry, come back with me. Young Master woke up!”
