Chapter 67 – However, you had to be very careful when your opponent was Lu Beichuan (3)
In the living room, Mother Lu was unhappy that Lu Beichuan had been on a call ever since his wife’s wedding dress had been decided on. “Beichuan, what are you so busy with? Why don’t you have time to help me look at the possible wedding venues?”
Holding the cell phone in his hand, Lu Beichuan had a somewhat grave expression. After hearing Mother Lu’s words, he immediately put the cell phone down. “It’s nothing.”
“Even if it’s a serious matter, it’s not as important as Qingqing and your wedding.” Seeing his furrowed brow, Mother Lu assumed that he was bothered by something troublesome. She sighed and said, “Fine, you go do you work. Mom will take care of the wedding matters for you. But, you have to pay attention to your health. You’ve only recently recovered.”
Lu Beichuan slightly nodded.
With his mother here, he could go to the study with a peace of mind.
Looking at Lu Beichua’s departing figure, Ye Zhen made a guess about what he had gone off to do. In the novel, around this time, Lu Beichuan would send his father to prison as well as seizing full control of the Lu family in one fell swoop. In the next five years, under his management, the Lu family’s business would become an unrivaled conglomerate that would touch upon all major industries. During this five year period, Lu Beichuan would also offend many business people.
Of course, those events were just foreshadowing. Foreshadowing for when these business people would work together with Lin Zhan to destroy Lu Beichuan.
The fierce retaliation that he would experience later would match how thoroughly he had originally offended these parties. Even though Lu Beichuan had thoroughly prepared for a counterattack, he would be utterly defeated by them.

However, strangely, Lu Shaoren and Lin Zhan didn’t return home that night.
Right now, Mother Lu was wholeheartedly focused on her son’s wedding. Towards her husband, who had multiple affairs, she wasn’t the least concerned about his absence. Actually, she would be thrilled if he never came back.
Ye Qing was at the end of her patience. Mother Lu had kept Ye Zhen by her side the entire day, and there was nothing she could do about it. She had uneasily watched as day turned into night, and she was still “Ye Zhen”. What made her feel the worst was that she had been listening to Mother Lu’s detailed planning for the wedding. Clearly, it was her wedding, and she was going to be the bride. But right now, she could only be a bystander that couldn’t express her opinions.
After a busy day of planning, Mother Lu felt exhausted “Alright, working on the wedding planning for the whole day is quite tiring. There’s no need to hurry. There’ll be plenty of time to work out the details later. We can slowly research options later. Go upstairs to take a shower and rest for now.”
Ye Zhen agreed with a smile. As they were walking upstairs, Ye Qing thought they had the perfect opportunity to switch back. But, before they could reach the second floor’s landing, the sight of Lu Beichuan put an end to that idea.
Under his sharp gaze, it felt as if everything was within his grasp, no matter how big or small. It felt as if all her secrets were laid bare before him, and he had seen through her deceptions.
Under a cloud of guilt and lack of confidence, Ye Qing retreated to the guest room.
Lu Beichuan scrutinized Ye Zhen before quietly saying, “It’s been a tiring day. You should go back to the room to rest.”
Ye Zhen didn’t know if she was just imagining things, but it seemed as if Lu Beichuan’s gaze had faintly swept over her lower abdomen. Her brows shot upwards. Then, she said with a smile, “CEO Lu, you’ve been so busy today. You didn’t even have time to eat. How about we go back to the room to rest together?”
Lu Beichuan’s eyes slightly narrowed.
CEO Lu?
“Okay.”
Ye Zhen raised her foot and continuing going upstairs. Lu Beichuan pensively watched her from the back as he followed her.
Inside the bedroom, Ye Zhen sat down on the couch. She calmly looked at Lu Beichuan and sweetly smiled. “CEO Lu, stop pretending. Let’s have a good chat.”
After the past two days of observation, she would have to be blind to not have figured out that Lu Beichuan was putting on an act.
However, you had to be very careful when your opponent was Lu Beichuan.
