Besides, Lu Beichuan had only woken up a few days ago, and he was out most of the day going through physical therapy. Their interactions were minimal. If Ye Qing went back right now, it really would be easy to keep their switch a secret.
Ye Zhen was stunned for a long time before she finally smiled.
In order to leave Lu Beichuan, she had done her utmost best and meticulously tried to figure out a way. The problem of leaving without anyone else finding out had plagued her day after day. She kept hoping for a way out that would give her freedom.
She had thought of many possibilities, but she had never though Ye Qing would would want to go to Lu Beichuan’s side of her own initiative. The possibility of that happening was as miniscule as a comet hitting the Earth, so it hadn’t been worth considering.
Could it be that Ye Qing’s plotline had changed because Lu Beichuan had woken up earlier?
Could Ye Qing’s remorseful look and return as the prodigal child because she had undergone a baptism of life?
However, she didn’t care what Ye Qing’s reason was. It didn’t have anything to do with her.
Since Ye Qing had come back, she would simply move aside.
“Older sister, don’t worry. I’ll definitely tell you every little detail about Lu Beichuan as well as the 30+ members in Lu Family’s household!”
Hearing the tone of Ye Zhen’s voice as she made this vow, Ye Qing and the Ye parents put down their worries and started to smile.
“I knew it! Our Zhenzhen is a sensible child!” Father Ye looked at Mother Ye in dissatisfaction. “You should revise your view of our Zhenzhen in future!”
“Yes, yes, our Zhenzhen is the most sensible one.”
Ye Zhen looked at Father Ye and slightly smiled. “But, I have a condition.”
Father Ye blankly stared at her. “What condition?”
“It’s like this.” Ye Zhen said in soliquely tone, “If older sister goes back to the Lu Family’s home, then I definitely won’t be able to go back there. But, the Lu Family mentioned previously that they want to redo the wedding ceremony for Lu Beichuan and older sister. At that time, I’ll definitely have to make an appearance. I’ve been living with the Lu Family for so long, and I’ve gotten used to calling them grandfather, dad, and mom. I’m just worried that I’ll address them incorrectly at the wedding.”
“What do you want?”
“Dad and mom, didn’t you tell Lu Beichuan that I went abroad? How about this, send me abroad and I’ll lie low until the fuss dies down. Once older sister and Lu Beichuan have a stable relationship, I’ll come back then. What do you think?”
What was there for Father Ye to think? Ye Zhen’s words sounded extremely considerate for her family’s sake. Her plan would take care of everything. There was no reason for him to refuse.
“Sure, dad will send you abroad.”
“Then… what about my expenses while I’m abroad?”
“Dad will pay for it of course!”
Ye Zhen slightly smiled. She raised five fingers.
“Sure, dad will give you five hundred thousand yuan.”
“No, I want five million yuan.”
“Five million yuan? Although Father Ye was a nouveau riche, he only had a small company that was on the verge of bankruptcy and wasn’t earning any income. He only had enough left to maintain superficial appearances.
Ye Zhen sighed. “I won’t be familiar with anything when I’m abroad. Everything will cost money. What’s wrong with asking five million yuan? It’s only a small amount. Besides, older sister has married into the Lu Family. With the Lu Family’s wealth, five million yuan is the same as five yuan to them. How can you be so stingy?”
“This… five million yuan…” Before Father Ye could finish speaking, Mother Ye harshly glared at him. Father Ye felt as if a knife had stabbed his heart. He immediately changed what he was saying, “Sure, dad will give that to you!”
The two sides reached an agreement.
For an entire afternoon, Ye Zhen told Ye Qing every little detail about the Lu Family’s member’s routines and habits with a focus on Lu Beichuan.
Of course, with Ye Qing’s intelligence, she was able to remember most of the stuff that Ye Zhen told her without having to write anything down,
In the evening, at 7 PM, the chauffeur, who had driven Ye Zhen over here, came to the Ye Family’s front door to inform her that Mr. Lu Beichuan had called him to ask when she was going to come home.
Under the attentive gaze of the Ye parents, Ye Qing, who had changed into Ye Zhen’s clothing, leisurely got into the Bentley.
