Chapter 36 Your older sister is back (2)

Lu Beichuans voice came from the third floors hallway, Where are you going?

The unexpected sound startled Ye Zhen. The space between her eyebrows scrunched up in annoyance. She coldly answered, Does that have anything to do with you?

The nearby servant became even more frightened and quietly called out to remind Ye Zhen, Miss Ye

Ye Zhen returned to her senses. She knew that she had gotten too carried away just now and spoken wrongly. Now that her rationality had returned, she regretted her earlier tone.

It wasnt smart to make a man lose face by talking back to him in public.

To her surprise, Lu Beichuan didnt get angry and even caringly said, Your health is poor, and the weather has been bad lately. If it isnt important, it would be better if you stay at home.

Ye Zhen knew that she was the one in the wrong. She lowered her voice a bit as she said, My dad just called me. He said that my mom isnt feeling well, and he wants me to go over to see her.

Lu Beichuan looked at her coldly for a moment. He didnt say anything.

A short while later, a car was prepared. When Ye Zhen got into the car and sat down, she discovered that the Bentleys backseat had become softer than before. Hot water and a blanket had also been provided for her, and a total of four cars followed in front and behind the one she had gotten into. The driver also drove significantly slower than usual. The car ride was so smooth that Ye Zhen almost didnt notice any bumps in the road.

The original one hour drive was extended by an extra half hour by the drivers slow driving. However Ye Zhen wasnt eager to meet the Ye parents, so she didnt say anything.

After getting out of the car, Ye Zhen was led inside by Father Ye, who had been waiting outside for a long time.

Whats wrong with you? Why did it take you so long to get here? Dad has been waiting for you for a long time.

Seeing Father Yes anxious appearance, Ye Zhen was incredulous. Could it be that something really happened to Mother Ye?

Dad, what happened? Is something wrong with mom?

These words happened to be heard by Mother Ye, who was sitting in the living room. She was dressed neatly, and her cheeks were rosy. She didnt look sick at all.

Ye Zhen sat down across from Mother Ye. Smiling in embarrassment, she asked, Mom, didnt you say that you were sick?

Mother Ye forced herself to smile. She got up and sat down next to Ye Zhen. Holding her daughters hand, she stiffly patted the back of it. Mom isnt sick. I just wanted you to come over for a visit.

Clearly, they werent close. And yet, Mother Ye was putting on this fake show of closeness. Pretending to be grateful, Ye Zhen looked at Mother Ye with a smile. Mom, you can just tell me whatever you want to say.

Mother Ye wasnt used to being so close with her younger daughter either. Her expression was awkward, but she continued to hold Ye Zhens hand as she said, Its nothing big. I just wanted to ask you. Whats your life like in the Lu Family?

Its okay. Its the same as before.

Mother Ye sighed, Mom knows that it was unfair to have you take your older sisters place and marry you into the Lu Family. We havent asked you what you wanted either. Were fortunate that youre obedient and sensible. Otherwise, your dads company would have already gone bankrupt.

Ye Zhen didnt know how to react to this sudden change towards warmth and tenderness. Although she was puzzled, she went along with Mother Yes words by wryly smiling and saying, Mom, dont say that. Im also a member of this family. I only did what I should.

The Ye parents interpreted Ye Zhens wry smile the wrong way. They thought that Ye Qing has spoken correctly. Ye Zhen was still holding a grudge against them for forcing her to marry into the Lu Family.

Mom knows that youre a good child. You must have suffered during the past month at Lu Familys home.

Ye Zhen watched as Mother Ye actually turned her head to wipe her tears. It felt as if her worldview was undergoing a great challenge.

What was going on today? Were flowers blooming from iron? Did the sun rise from the west?

You dont have to worry. You dont have to go back to the Lu Family and suffer anymore. Your older sister is back.
