There are not too many descriptions of the Lu family in the novel, and there are very few descriptions of Mrs. Lu. It is only through occasional words that I understand that Lu's mother is a bitter and self-confident lady.
Throughout the ages, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been an unsolved mystery. Coupled with her preconceived impression of Madam Lu, Madam Lu's attitude towards her was indeed lukewarm when she first entered the Lu family, so Ye Zhen has always been very wary of Madam Lu.
But after getting along with her recently, she can understand how kind Lu's mother is to her.
It was nearly six o'clock when Lu Beichuan returned to Lu's house. As soon as he entered the door, he was called into the study by Lu's mother.
"Let me ask you, Zhenzhen is pregnant for one month, what happened?"
Hearing this, Lu Beichuan asked in a low voice: "You didn't say anything to Zhenzhen, did you?"
Lu's mother rolled her eyes at Lu Beichuan, "What? I'm like that vicious mother-in-law who doesn't understand the truth?" She took a deep breath, "I know what kind of character Zhenzhen is, she's not someone who can do that kind of thing, you are My son, I know what kind of personality you have, if Zhen Zhen is not pregnant with your child, would you still marry her? Tell me, what is going on?"
Lu Beichuan gave a low laugh, and told the whole story about waking up early.
***
Since she became pregnant, Ye Zhen felt additional changes in her body. She was lethargic and easily tired. After returning from the hospital, she rested in the room, holding a magazine just to flip through it, but accidentally fell asleep.
Lu Beichuan pushed the door open and saw Ye Zhen sleeping on the sofa, walked over and put the magazine covering her aside, bowed and hugged the sleeping Ye Zhen to the bed.
The moment Ye Zhen touched the bed, she woke up, frowning, looking at Lu Beichuan with sleepy eyes, her voice sounded like a cat's laziness, "Are you back?"
Lu Beichuan kissed her on the forehead, and put his hand on her lower abdomen, where an unformed little life was conceived.
The villa is finally no longer cold, like a crack has been cut in the lake that has been frozen for many years. This is worth his concern, and it is also worth going home early.
"What's the result of the hospital examination today?"
Ye Zhen yawned lazily, "What can I do in just a month." After speaking, she glanced at the clock on the wall, wondering, "Why did you come back so early? Isn't the company busy?"
The Lu family has been tossed so hard by Lu Shaoren this year, and Lu Beichuan took over a lot of mess. The work is heavy, and the desk is full of documents that need to be processed.
"I brought my work home, are you still sleepy? I'll sleep again."
Ye Zhen shook her head, "I'm not sleepy now, you need to go to work first."
The phone rang, and Lu Beichuan held the phone and stood in front of the window to listen for a while, then said expressionlessly: "You don't need to ask me about Qin Shao again, let him go after the company's acquisition."
There are quite a few companies under the Lu Corporation, involving various industries. In the novel, after Lu Beichuan took over the Lu Corporation, the companies under them flourished, sweeping every industry like a spark.
Lu Beichuan is ambitious and never does useless work. Once he has done it, he must do his best.
During the years when he was in charge of the Lu Corporation, standing at the top of the pyramid and looking down, all companies in the same industry were trampled under his feet. Potential enemies and threats also laid the groundwork for the later counterattack and the demise of the Lu family.
After the male protagonist returned, he contacted these companies that had been suppressed by Lu Beichuan for many years, and worked together to "encircle and suppress" the Lu family. Finally, the Lu family, which monopolized various industries, was instantly destroyed.
Seeing Lu Beichuan's posture again, Ye Zhen's heart hangs, isn't this digging a hole for herself to make enemies? This act of death must not continue!
She couldn't help but said: "Can't you recruit those who are really capable?"
Ye Zhen knew that Lu Beichuan in the novel was self-willed, but he did have the ability to be self-willed. If it weren't for the halo of the male protagonist in the later stage, under normal circumstances, Lu Beichuan's Lu family would not have been destroyed.
Lu Beichuan was silent for a moment, then said flatly to the phone: "Do this first, I will call you back later."
He put down his phone, looked at Ye Zhen, and said gently, "What's wrong?"
Ye Zhen doesn't understand those things in the mall, but she knows that Qin Shao mentioned in Lu Beichuan's phone call just now will become one of the biggest threats to the Lu family in the future.
Qin Shao started from scratch and became worth tens of millions in just five years, which is considered a legend. If it wasn't for the impact of the financial crisis, he wouldn't have been reduced to the point of being acquired.
"Qin Shao is quite capable. It is much better to make friends with someone than to offend someone. There is no deep hatred between you and him. If you are not sure to kill him completely, why bother to make such an enemy under the tree?" , Wouldn’t it be better to turn an enemy into a friend with one more help?”
Lu Beichuan's eyes dimmed, "Have you heard of him?"
Ye Zhen nodded.
This Qin Shao's ability is indeed very strong, and he still struggled to survive under Lu Beichuan's repeated suppression. Finally, he joined forces with Lin Zhan and gave Lu Beichuan a fatal blow.
And all of this is due to Lu Beichuan's acquisition.
With such a big threat, Ye Zhen felt that she had to remind Lu Beichuan.
"I heard my dad mention him. It doesn't mean anything else. I just think it's a pity that someone like him should be buried. He is in a crisis now. You can help him, but it's just a small effort. To be kind to others is to be kind to yourself." Shan, many friends have many paths, why cut off one's own path?"
Lu Beichuan looked at Ye Zhen's clear and bright eyes, paused, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Early the next morning, when Lu Beichuan went downstairs, he saw Mother Lu directing people to clean the villa.
"Mom, are you here today?"
Mother Lu felt very uncomfortable after talking with him yesterday, and she still complained in her heart, "I invited some friends to my house for tea, and exchange ideas by the way."
"Experience?" Lu Beichuan frowned.
"You don't need to worry about this, you can go to work." Mother Lu didn't have time to worry about him, "Aunt Yue, is the breakfast ready for Zhenzhen?"
Aunt Yue is the confinement wife sent by the Lu family's old house yesterday, and she is very experienced in taking care of pregnant women.
Aunt Yue poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "It will be ready soon."
Ye Zhen came down from upstairs, and Aunt Yue brought the prepared breakfast to the table.
Lu Beichuan probably knew that he was a bit redundant now, so he kissed Ye Zhen, gave some instructions and went to work.
"Zhenzhen, let's have breakfast first. In the afternoon, I invited some friends to my house for tea. By the way, I'll introduce you to each other."
"Tea?"
"They're all my old friends, don't be afraid, just listen to them."
"Listen?" Ye Zhen was slightly taken aback, not knowing why.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, four well-dressed rich ladies came. Ye Zhen looked familiar, and they all met at the wedding.
"Mrs. Lu, this is your daughter-in-law. I didn't look carefully at the wedding that day, but today I saw that she is really a little beauty. You, just wait and enjoy the blessings in the future."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Of course."
After chatting for a while, one of the ladies seemed to think of something and said, "Mrs. Chen, I remember that your little grandson has reached the age of kindergarten now, right? How is it?"
"Come on, I'm finally relieved. That little devil tormented me at home. I have to go to the kindergarten to pick him up later. I don't have any free time." Not happy at all.
"It's all like this, my grandson is naughty. My little grandson seems to be demolishing the house at home. He makes troubles all day long. Look at how many of my white hairs are caused by him."
Ye Zhen glanced at the lady, her face was radiant, her hair was black and shiny, there was no white hair there.
"The grandson is noisy, and so is our little monkey. He has been out of shape all day. Mrs. Zhou, is your granddaughter still practicing the piano?"
"Yeah, she likes it, so I just let her go. Recently, I said that I want to learn to dance, so I hired a dance teacher."
"Last time I went to Mrs. Zhou's house to see her granddaughter playing the piano. She is very talented. I really envy you. You have such an excellent granddaughter who can play the piano and dance, unlike my grandson who can't do anything," sighed He took a deep breath, "I've been arguing about going to some summer camp recently, how old do you think he is, a five-year-old kid, can I rest assured that he will go?"
"Then you must not go. It's so small, and the family is not around. What if something happens."
"His father advocated sending the child to summer camp. I really don't know what to think. What to do with such a small child! After being scolded by me, he calmed down a bit."
Ye Zhen sat on one side and could tell that she couldn't say anything away from her grandchildren. Is she showing off or is she showing off
"Mrs. Lu, you are still free now. When your daughter-in-law is pregnant, you will be busy at that time."
"I'm just a worrying person. I just finished worrying about getting married, and now I have to deal with children." Mother Lu grabbed Ye Zhen's hand and said loudly, "Our Zhenzhen is pregnant."
Everyone was taken aback, extremely surprised.
"Pregnant so soon?"
Mother Lu smiled and said, "I went to the hospital for an examination yesterday and found it."
"Congratulations, you are going to be a grandma! How long have you been pregnant?"
Mother Lu scolded Lu Beichuan again in her heart, and said vaguely, "It's not been a few days."
"The first three months of pregnancy are very important, and what should be supplemented must be supplemented," the lady looked at Ye Zhen, "Your daughter-in-law here is so thin, eat more and supplement more."
"I know this. The old house sent three confinement sisters. I feel relieved to have them take care of Zhenzhen's diet." Mrs. Lu smiled from ear to ear, "You don't know, I found out that she was pregnant yesterday. This whole person is in a daze, I have heard you talk about grandchildren all day long, and I don't know what to do when it's my turn."
"It's like this. Let me tell you that the children's clothes and toys can be prepared slowly now, otherwise they will be in a hurry, and it will be inconvenient if they lack this or that."
"It's already being prepared! There is also a baby room, and a designer is also invited to design it. After two days, the drawings are ready, and the workers will be invited. I can't count on Beichuan, so I can rest assured that I will look at it myself."
Ye Zhen couldn't help interjecting, "Mom, I don't know if it's a man or a woman."
Madam Lu looked proud, "That's why I prepared a double copy!"
Ye Zhen's mood is extremely complicated.
After worrying about Lu Beichuan doting on her son, there was another grandma who doted on her grandson.
Doting is the root of all evils, Ye Zhen couldn't help but worry a little bit, will she be able to discipline the buns in her stomach after this
