Chapter 87 – “I’ve never done anything illegal!” (3)
Ye Qing, who had been left at the altar by Lu Beichuan, was still stiffly standing there and holding Father Ye’s arm. Some of the petals from the bouquet had fallen off after being stepped on. Her gorgeous and beautiful wedding dress had become a joke.
Ye Qing had grown up being the center of attention. No matter where she went, there would be countless envious eyes and praises. But now, these pointed gazes were like sharp blades. Their gossiping voices stabbed away at her heart.
Ye Qing, who had always been prideful, had been able to endure Lu Beichuan’s disregard, but she couldn’t bear to stay here any longer and listen to these strangers’ commentary.
Tears swiftly fell.
She pushed Father Ye away, lifted up her skirt, and started walking out of the venue.
She didn’t want to stay here for a moment longer and accept these people’s pitying gazes!
Who did they think they were? She was the star of today’s ceremony! She was Lu Beichuan’s wife, the Lu family’s daughter-in-law,! They weren’t even worthy of being jealous of her. How dare they look at her with that type of gaze?!
Father Ye hastily chased after her.
Just as Mother Ye was about to get up from her seat after seeing this scene, Mrs. Lu pulled her arm and stopped her. “Mrs. Ye, stay seated. Don’t worry.”
The other party was Mrs. Lu. No matter how aggressive Mother Ye was, she wouldn’t dare to behave aggressively in front of Mrs. Lu.
Mother Ye restrained her anger and anxiety and quietly said, “Mrs. Lu, how can I not worry? Qingqing is sure to be feeling upset after being left at the altar. This… What’s wrong with Beichuan? How can he just leave like that? No, I have to go see her and calm her down!”
Mrs. Lu smiled. “Mrs. Ye, I heard that you have two daughters. Is that right?”
Mother Ye’s expression froze. “Yes, I have two daughters.”
“I heard that your two daughters are also identical twins. If they’re not speaking, no one can tell them apart. Is that right?
Mother Ye’s face was set. She remained silent.
“Since they’re both daughters, I really want to ask, how could a mother so easily favor one and discriminate against the other?”
Mother Ye’s expression immediately became ugly. She stammered, “They’re both my daughters. How… How could I treat them unequally? Mrs. Lu, you must be joking.”
“Alright, then I have to another question to ask. Why did you and your husband send Ye Zhen to the Lu family to take her older sister’s place after Ye Qing ran off with Lin Zhan? It’s one thing for her to take her older sister’s place. But, on what basis did you have the younger sister give up her position just because the older sister came back?”
Once Mrs. Lu said this, Mother Ye felt as if she had a fish bone stuck in her throat. “You… You know?”
“Of course. I know Ye Zhen’s personality very well after spending the past period of time with her. When her personality suddenly changed, it was only natural I would feel doubtful. Beichuan has already told me the truth.”
Mrs. Lu sighed. “I feel regretful that my attitude towards Ye Zhen wasn’t good in the beginning. She’s a good child. I shouldn’t have treated her so unfairly.
A mother shouldn’t treat her children too unfairly. Just like Ye Qing, you carried Ye Zhen in your body for ten months. I heard that you’ve been treating your two daughters differently since they were born. You raised Ye Qing to be a perfect and beautiful woman, who’s loved by everyone, but you neglected and ignored Ye Zhen. You’ve always treated Ye Zhen unfairly and expected her to move aside for her older sister’s benefit. Have you ever thought how much you hurt her by doing this?”
“Mrs. Lu… This….”
“I almost lost my life when I was giving birth to Beichuan. His father is a bastard. During my pregnancy, his father was almost never home. He was always out and enjoying himself. When I found evidence that he was having an extramarital affair, he pushed me so hard that I went into premature labor. At that time, I was thinking that I would do my best to protect Beichuan. He’s the son that I almost lost my life to give birth to. I’ll never allow him to come to any harm!”
Mrs. Lu looked at Mother Ye. Loosening her grip, she said with an icy expression, “That’s why I can’t understand how you can ignore your daughter for so many years. She’s your life.”
