I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 145 – Family Heirloom (3)

“Eh...Beichuan,” Father Ye grabbed hold of him to stop him. “It would be wasting so much time if I went to the investment manager. Won’t it be more efficient if you directly look at my project proposal?”

Lu Beichuan unhappily looked at Father Ye. “The real waste of my time is you standing here and blocking my way.” He didn’t give him any face.

“But... Beichuan, how can you say that?!” Father Ye half-reproachfully looked at him, but he didn’t dare to actually reprimand him. He only quietly said, “At the very least, I’m your father-in-law.”

“If you weren’t my father-in-law, you wouldn’t even be able to appear in front of me. Mr and Mrs. Ye, you’ve seen Zhenzhen today. Please leave.”

Father Ye’s face was a mix of ugly colors, but he didn’t dare to say anything. He could only watch as Lu Beichuan entered the hospital room and closed the door.

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, “Are they gone?”

“En, they’re gone. How was your talk with them?”

With Lu Beichuan’s help, Ye Zhen sat up. “Could it go well? It was the same stuff as always. So boring.”

“Don’t bother yourself with your family’s affairs anymore. I’ll handle them.”

“You?” Ye Zhen looked at him. “How will you handle them?”

“Don’t worry about it. I have my ways.”

Regarding Mother Ye, Ye Zhen truly didn’t 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 didn’t have to concern herself with the Ye’s messy affairs.

Ye Zhen thought it over before saying, “You don’t have to worry about them. My dad doesn’t have the ability to run a company. No matter how much investment money you give him, it’ll still end up being money poured down the drain. He’s a bottomless pit that’s filled with discontent. Rather than giving him investment money, it would be better if you donate it to charity.”

In the novel, Father Ye had Lin Zhan’s help. But now that he didn’t have Lin Zhan, with Father Ye’s 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. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

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.

“Mrs. Lu, someone delivered this item to the hospital and named you as the recipient.”

“A delivery for me? Who was the sender?”

The little nurse shook her head. “I’m not sure about that. That person left after dropping this off at the front desk.”

Ye Zhen took the item. “Alright, thank you.”

“No problem.”

The exquisitely wrapped express package was a little bit bigger than two adult-sized palms. There wasn’t a name or any other identifying marks on the package. It wasn’t possible to guess what was contained in the package without opening it.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Beichuan. “Mr. Lu, is this a surprise from you?”

Lu Beichuan’s gaze was focused on the express package. He remained silent, but there was clearly hostility in his eyes.

The Lu’s hadn’t announced that Ye Zhen had given birth yet. So then, who would have sent over this gift?

It seems that this wasn’t 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.

Wasn’t this the heirloom that Lin Zhan’s mother had prepared for her future daughter-in-law in the novel?
