丰满人妻被公侵犯日本

Chapter 54 – She didn’t dare to move (3)

However, if Lin Zhan left because of Lu Beichuan’s words, Lu Shaoren would be losing even more face. After a moment of silence, Lu Shaoren stiffly said, “Your grandfather agreed to this matter. He’s away at the ancestral home right now. We’ll wait to discuss any issues after he comes back.”

Lu Beichuan was used to bossing people around. “Do you think I don’t have the power to make the final decision in this family?”

Suddenly, the air felt unbreathable from tension. A young maid, who had brought over the dishware from the kitchen, didn’t dare to approach the table. The old butler had her give him the dishware, and he set the dishware down on the table.

“Mr. Lu is probably quite hungry from working all day. Let’s eat first.” After saying this, he smiled and said to Lu Beichuan, “Young Master, as the master of the family, how can you push out a guest? That would be against customs.”

The old butler had been serving the Lu family for a long time. He had been taking care of the family since Lu Shaoren had been born. Everyone in the family would give him some face.

There wasn’t anyone more suitable than him to ease the tense atmosphere.

The old butler set out the dishware and chopsticks in front of Lu Shaoren and Lin Zhan. He politely smiled at the young man, who had remained seemingly aloof since he had entered the villa.

Lu Shaoren calmed down a bit. He knew that it wouldn’t be good to act too hasty over this matter. “Let’s eat first.”

He swept his gaze across the table and finally stopped it between Ye Zhen and Ye Qing. “This is...?”

In an unhappy tone, Mother Lu replied, “She’s Ye Qing twin sister, Ye Zhen.”

“Ye Zhen? They look identical. I almost thought there was something wrong with my eyes.” Lu Shaoren was trying to shift the focus to a new topic to make himself seem as if he was the one in charge of the family.

However, Ye Zhen felt as if her heart was beating as loud as thunder.

Since Lin Zhan had passed through the doorway, she spiralled into extreme anxiety. She hadn’t paid attention to the earlier conversation that had occured at the dining table.

Why had the plot gone off course so much?

Shouldn’t Lin Zhan be doing his best to make something of himself in the outside world? Shouldn’t Lhe come to the Lu family to smack the villain down after he had obtained great success through his unending strive for self-improvement as well as the cheats that belonged to a novel’s male lead? Why was he the one being smacked down by the villain?

As an illegitimate child, shouldn’t he know what kind of treatment he would receive if he came to the Lu family? Lu Beichuan already had the Lu family in his pocket. Having nothing to rely on, how could Lin Zhan have any hope of taking anything out of Lu Beichuan’s pocket? Did he have no sense at all?

Didn’t he look down on the Lu family and look down on Lu Shaoren even more? Wasn’t he supposed to rather die than come to the Lu family? Why had he banded together with someone as rotten as Lu Shaoren?

Did he come here because of Ye Qing?

Ye Zhen thought about it carefully. The novel’s male lead had an unwavering love towards Ye Qing. The motivation for all of his hard work was Ye Qing. Since Ye Qing had come here, it wasn’t that far fetched that Lin Zhan would follow her here.

Still... this was too messy.

Ye Qing was in a similar state of feeling troubled. Looking at the scrumptious meal before her, she had a difficult time swallowing down anything.

She had originally thought there were no secrets between her and Lin Zhan, but Lin Zhan had never told her he was the Lu family’s illegitimate child whether it was this lifetime or in the previous lifetime. She had originally thought there was nothing left to say between them. She was shocked to discover that he had been hiding this from her. He had been lying to her all along!
