Chapter 284 – His self-control and patience went up in smoke (3)
Lu Beichuan touched his nose in embarrassment. Knowing that he was the one in the wrong, he wrapped his arm around Ye Zhen’s back and gently propped her up into a sitting position. He consulted her for her opinion, “Do you want me to get someone to bring up a bowl of congee?”
“No need.” Ye Zhen decisively pushed up the blanket. Overestimating her ability, she wanted to go downstairs to eat.
Lu Beichuan held Ye Zhen’s waist and quietly said, “I’m sorry.”
Ye Zhen looked at him in askance. “Please learn some self-control, okay?”
Lu Beichuan’s expression became even more helpless.
In the dining room, Aunty Yue brought over a bowl of light congee to Ye Zhen’s seat under Lu Beichuan’s order. There was a smile on her face as well as Mother Lu when they saw Ye Zhen and Lu Beichuan coming downstairs in an intimate manner.
Mother Lu didn’t think there was anything wrong. She thought Ye Zhen was just tired from her work during this period and didn’t ask any questions. She was sitting at the dining table with Zhouzhou in her arms and feeding him.
As soon as Zhouzhou saw Ye Zhen coming over, he reached out with his chubby, lotus-like arms towards his mom. He wanted his mom to hold him.
Ye Zhen sat down. Just as she was about to take Zhouzhou from Mother Lu, Lu Beichuan took him.
Failing to be held by the person that he wanted and being held by his stern father instead, Zhouzhou pouted. Unhappiness was written across his face.
“Aunty Yue, bring over Zhouzhou’s food. I’ll feed him.”
“Ah, okay.”
It was rare for Lu Beichuan to take care of Zhouzhou so much, so Mother Lu didn’t mind him. Looking at Ye Zhen’s somewhat tired expression, she inquired in a dignified manner, “Zhenzhen ah, has it been especially busy at work lately? Why are you so tired?”
Ye Zhen smiled. “It’s fine.”
When Ye Zhen reached out to pick up the spoon on the table, the scarf that she had deliberately wore slipped off which revealed the hickeys on her neck.
As soon as Mother Lu saw that, she understood. She smiled and didn’t ask further questions.
They hadn’t been consistent with working on weaning Zhouzhou. The key point was that Mother Lu was soft-hearted. As soon as Zhouzhou cried and fussed, she would worry and give in. She couldn’t bear to let him go hungry.
However, Lu Beichuan didn’t have that problem. He wouldn’t give in. He brought the spoon to Zhouzhou’s mouth. If Zhouzhou didn’t eat, he would lightly slap his hand.
Zhouzhou pouted. He didn’t want to eat this. His hazy eyes looked at Ye Zhen and Mother Lu for help.
“Lu Zhifei, open your mouth!”
Zhouzhou trembled. He raised his head and looked at his father’s stern eyes. In the end, he didn’t dare to put on a pitiful act in front of his father. He opened his mouth and swallowed the food, looking aggrieved while doing so.
Spoonful by spoonful until the spoon slowly reached the bottom of the bowl.
It had to be said that Lu Beichuan’s fierce attitude was very effective.
After Lu Beichuan finished feeding Zhouzhou, he handed him over to Aunty Yue. It was only then that he picked up his chopsticks to eat.
“Oh right, the police might need you to go over there and get an oral statement from you.” He said this Ye Zhen.
With waning interest, Ye Zhen murmured acknowledgement.
“An oral statement?” Mother Lu asked in surprise. “What happened?”
Lu Beichuan recounted what happened last night. After Mother Lu heard the full story, she immediately slapped her chopsticks down on the table.
“Ye Zhenting actually kidnapped Zhenzhen?” Mother Lu incredulously asked, “What kind of person does that?”
“Mom, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it.”
“Fine, I won’t get angry, but this matter isn’t over!” Mother Lu sharply said, “Beichuan, you have to handle this matter well. You definitely can’t let off Ye Zhenting!”
After saying that, she muttered, “He even dares to kidnap and extort. Who knows what else he’ll be capable of!”
Ye Zhen raised her head and helplessly looked at Lu Beichuan, and he responded by meaningfully looking at her neck. Ye Zhen came to a mental halt. Her face suddenly flushed scarlet. She fumbled to wrap the scarf tightly around her neck.
This bastard!
Ye Zhen gritted her teeth.
***
Lu Beichuan was serious about reporting the matter to the police. Even though Ye Zhenting insisted that he was only drinking coffee and chatting with Ye Zhen last night, under human testimony and material evidence as well as Lu Beichuan’s insistence, the legal department prosecuted Ye Zhenting according to the law.
For a son-in-law to report his father-in-law to the police for kidnapping and extortion, that was a secret that everyone would want to dig up regardless of which family it was about. Since the people involved were the Lu’s, it made this news even more juicy.
As a result, as soon as this news came out, there were countless real and fake stories of various magnitudes.
