Chapter 49

The human heart was insatiably greedy.

In her past life, after seeing Ye Zhen’s family of three’s blissful and happy scene, Ye Qing couldn’t stop thinking about it during the day and dreaming about it at night. At all times, she regretted the choice that she had made. Why had she looked down upon and given up on the glamorous and magnificent status of being Lu Beichuan’s wife?

After she had reincarnated, that image continued to appear in her mind. In her repeated dreams, when she saw that identical face, Ye Qing thought that person had to be herself!

She became the mother of a cute and sensible son, and a powerful man’s beloved.

Right now, things were progressing down the path she expected. Lu Beichuan. She had become Lu Beichuan’s wife. She anticipated that in the near future Lu Beichuan would thoroughly fall in love with her, and she would give birth to a well-behaved and sensible son for him. Her days would no longer be medicorce; she wouldn’t have to rush about to make a living. She would have a very happy life. Her life would be even better than the past life’s Ye Zhen’s!

This was her beautiful dream and the future that she was looking forward to every day.

However, just as Ye Qing had almost succeeded in lying to herself that it had just been a dream, Ye Zhen returned.

In the moment that she saw Ye Zhen, horror, worry, fear, anger, jealousy, and other similar emotions rushed into her heart. It felt as if a raging fire had burned her rationality into ashes when she saw Ye Zhen.

It felt as if Ye Zhen had burst her dream bubble. Ye Zhen’s existence was a reminder and silent mockery of her previous lifetime’s disappointment and dire straits.

“Are you regretting? Did you regret giving up the status of Mrs. Lu, so you came back here and want to switch? Ye Zhen, I’m warning you. Don’t you dare have those wayward thoughts. The position of Mrs. Lu belonged to me from the start! Don’t you dare covet something that doesn’t belong to you!”

Ye Zhen wasn’t the type of person that coveted things that belonged to others, much less wanting to be Lu Beichuan’s wife. She didn’t care about that position at all. For her, she wanted to avoid becoming his wife the same way she would avoid a poisonous snake.

What a joke?! In the novel, after the great villain had done bad things, his wife’s final ending was living out the rest of her life alone in prison.

“Ye Zhen” wasn’t a good person, but she hadn’t done anything illegal. At worst, she had played the role of a malicious supporting female character by saying and doing some sharp and unkind things. She had been implicated by the great villain’s crimes and was sentenced to lifetime imprisonment.

However, Ye Zhen also felt a bit regretful for Ye Qing’s sake.

Instead of being an upright female lead, she had insisted on coming back to be the villain’s wife. Was she bored with her peaceful life and wanted to come here for some excitement?

“Older sister, you’re misunderstanding.” Ye Zhen sighed. She took out her boarding pass. “I had a flight today at 5PM, and I was already at the boarding gate, but brother-in-law suddenly appeared and took me away. There was nothing I could do.”

Ye Qing didn’t even look at that boarding pass. “If Lu Beichuan wanted to take you away, couldn’t you have refused him? Also, after he recovered the use of his legs, the first thing he did was to go look for you at the airport. Ye Zhen, do you really expect me to believe there’s nothing between the two of you?”


Chapter 50

Ye Qing was truly panicking.

In her past life, Ye Zhen and Lu Beichuan had such a loving relationship. Ye Zhen had been Lu Beichuan’s pampered beloved. If these two already had a loving relationship again, she would have wasted her efforts. It would be like trying to scoop up water with a bamboo basket.

In the face of Ye Qing’s questioning, Ye Zhen felt innocent. How could she have known that Lu Beichuan would go looking for her?

If Lu Beichuan hadn’t come, she would have already happily boarded the plane.

“Older sister, if I wasn’t willing to return the position of Mrs. Lu to you, I wouldn’t have so readily agreed to switch places with you to begin with.”

It was a pity that these words went in one ear and out the other ear. To Ye Qing, all of the abnormalities pointed to Ye Zhen as the culprit. If Ye Zhen hadn’t done anything, why would Lu Beichuan treat her so affably and go out of his way to pick her up at the airport?

“Ye Zhen, we’re twins. Don’t think that I wouldn’t know what you’re thinking about. You’ve always appeared like someone that was sensible and obedient since we were children, but in actuality, you always want what’s mine. In the past, it was Lin Zhan. Now, it’s Lu Beichuan. You saw that Lu Beichuan can walk now, so you tried your best to think of a way to come back. Isn’t that the real truth?”

After Ye Qing had distorted the facts and poured dirty water over her for no good reason, Ye Zhen finally got angry.

She had gone along with Ye Qing’s wishes, and she was still being misunderstood?

“Older sister, you have to see the facts clearly. If I hadn’t taken your place back then by marrying into the Lu family, the Ye family would already be bankrupt right now.” Ye Zhen coldly smiled.

Sitting down on the couch, she calmly looked at the ruffled Ye Qing. “You said before that you came back because you didn’t want to wrong me. You said that you wanted to give me the chance to find my true love, to give me freedom… We’re both adults. Don’t treat me like an idiot. The reason why you came back, the reason why you want to be Mrs. Lu, we both know the real reason. There’s no need for you to act out such a fake spectacle.”

“What do you mean?”

“You really don’t know what I mean?” Ye Zhen looked at her in amusement. “Older sister, don’t think I’m insatiably greedy like you. It’s only a man. I really couldn’t care less.”

“Only a man?” The anger in Ye Qing’s heart grew. He had been something that she thought about day and night and couldn’t get, but Ye Zhen spoke so lightly of him. “He’s Lu Beichuan!”

“So what if he’s Lu Beichuan? Isn’t he just slightly more handsome and richer than other guys?” What was so good about a villain that was fated to have a bad ending?

“You…”

“I don’t care about him. I didn’t want to come back here at all. Don’t worry. I’ll leave here after a few days. You should keep a low-profile. Don’t act stupidly and expose yourself in front of the Lu family.”

Ye Zhen didn’t want to bother with arguing over this matter with Ye Qing. The fewer things she had to deal with, the better. The most important thing was the condition of Lu Beichuan’s body.

On the way here, Ye Zhen had figured things out. If Lu Beichuan wasn’t the father of her baby, then “Ye Zhen” must have slept with another man shortly before she had transmigrated here. As for the identity of that man, she would have to investigate the matter.
