Chapter 141 – Harboring ulterior motives (2)

Mother Lu saw her son’s tightly furrowed brow. He looked very upset.

“Don’t worry about your wife. Zhenzhen is a bright person that thinks straight. I could see that when Zhenzhen first came to our home, her thoughts were heavy. It’s probably because of Mrs. Ye. It would naturally be good if Mrs. Ye sincerely wants to fix her relationship with Zhenzhen. But if she’s harboring ulterior motives, your wife won’t be easily fooled. Stop worrying.”

Lu Beichuan was silent for a while. Eventually, his brow unfurrowed, and he nodded.

Now that there were only members of the Ye’s in the hospital room, Father Ye could finally blurt out what had been stifled in his heart.

First, he closed the door to the hospital room, then he urged Ye Zhen in a lowered voice, “Zhenzhen ah, we’re you’re parents. How can parents not be with their daughter when she’s giving birth? That Mrs. Lu seems to value children a lot. What if something had happened to you when you were giving birth? What if they had to choose between saving you or the baby, and they chose the baby? If that happened, what would your mother and I do?!”

Ye Zhen raised her eyes and calmly looked at Father Ye. “Dad, there’s no such thing as choosing the baby over the mother these days. You’re worrying over nothing.”

“Sure, sure, I’m worrying over nothing. I’m just giving you an example, okay? I just meant that it’s different when your maiden family is present. And that Lu Beichuan, he didn’t even call us until after you gave birth.”

Ye Zhen remained silent.

“Zhenzhen ah, look, you’ve given birth. That’s such a big thing. Right now, the Lu’s would definitely grant whatever you ask for...” Father Ye hesitated and observed Ye Zhen’s expression. He wasn’t sure if some words should be said or not.

“Just say what it is that you want.”

“You know that dad’s company operations haven’t been doing well. In the earlier years, the company had more than 500 employees, and the company was barely able to get by with that amount. But lately, the efficiency has been getting worse and worse. The company’s gone through several rounds of firing, and now it’s only an empty shell of about a hundred employees. Dad just wants you to be able to stand with your head held high in the Lu’s, so I haven’t given up on my company.

Recently, dad is preparing to make an investment. As long as I can get the money to invest, there’ll be real profit to make from this. Dad has already mortgaged the family villa, but it’s not enough. Zhenzhen ah, can you help dad? Talk to Beichuan about dad’s investment plan and have Beichuan put money into this business venture.”

Ye Zhen had heard Father Ye mention this plenty of times during her pregnancy. He called her several times, and the topic of those calls never strayed away from his investment ideas.

Seeing that Ye Zhen was remaining silent, Father Ye gritted his teeth and continued to say, “Zhenzhen, dad is only doing this because I want you to be able to stand up straight and speak confidently in the Lu’s. You can rest assured that investment will definitely make money. Dad wouldn’t do something that wouldn’t make money! When you were a child, didn’t you frequently say that you would help dad when you grew up? That you didn’t want dad to have to work so hard? Do you remember that?”

Father Ye’s investment ideas never worked out. It was common for him to lose money on these business ventures. In the novel, if it wasn’t for Lin Zhan helping him, the Ye’s would have collapsed.

Ye Zhen thought it over before answering, “I don’t know anything about investments. If you really think this investment is profitable, you can go look for Beichuan and talk to him about it. He has good vision. He wouldn’t pass on any profitable ventures. If your idea is good, you don’t have to worry about him rejecting it.”

“But...”

Mother Ye glared at her husband to indicate that she wanted him to drop the subject.

Father Ye wasn’t willing to give up, but seeing that Ye Zhen didn’t look too happy, he stopped for now. If he said too much, it would only backfire. Sitting on the side, he kept sulkily sighing.

“Don’t worry about your dad. He can go look for Beichuan himself to talk about that investment.” Mother Ye sighed. “Mom has been thinking a lot during the past two days. I’ve thought things through. Mom was wrong about a lot of things in the past. But in the end, that’s all in the past. Even if mom feels extremely regretful, it’s useless. Fortunately, you’re living well now. Mom is relieved about that.”
