Shen Weiyin offered Ye Zhen a business card. "Miss Ye, if you want to know, let's be friends. How about we meet up again on another day? Beichuan and I are old friends. We grew up together, and I know a lot of embarrassing stories about him."

She would feel sullen if she took the card, but if she didn't take it, Shen Weiyin would think she was too weak.

Looking vexed, Ye Zhen confiscated the business card, but then she radiantly smiled at Shen Weiyin when she said, "I can take my time to ask Beichuan about his embarrassing stories when we go home, so I won't waste Miss Shen's time."

She couldn't be bothered to have more meetings with Shen Weiyin. This woman didn't have good intentions and was a meticulous thinker that would surely place stumbling blocks in front of her. She wasn't so bored that she would want to spend time around a person that she would have to be constantly guarded against.

"What embarrassing stories do you want to hear?" Lu Beichuan quietly asked her.

"For example, how many relationships have you had? How many classes did you drop or skip? How many girls confessed to you?"

"I've never dated anyone. I didn't drop or skip any classes. I didn't notice when someone confessed to me." Lu Beichuan intimately laughed by her ear. "Are you satisfied?"

Ye Zhen's ears had always been sensitive spots. When his warm breath blew into her ear, it felt as if he was scratching her heart. Trembling once, Ye Zhen fiercely glared at him for acting like this in front of other people.

This display of intimate behavior and undisguised flaunting of their relationship caused Shen Weiyin's smile to stiffen. The mask of geniality that she had been wearing all night was almost ripped off.

Ye Zhen quietly reached her hand into Lu Beichuan's suit jacket and pinched his waist to tell him to knock if off. She changed the topic by saying, "I'm quite interested in the entertainment industry though."

"Oh? Mrs. Lu is interested in the entertainment industry?" Shen Weiyin tidied up her emotions and looked at Ye Zhen from top to bottom. "I think with your qualifications and given time, you'll definitely be liked by the audiences if you enter the entertainment industry."

Ye Zhen waved her hand. "Even though I'm interested in the entertainment industry, I didn't attend a proper film academy. As for being a celebrity, never mind that idea. I'm not interested or qualified."

Shen Weiyin smiled. "I didn't attend a film academy either. Acting isn't something that requires innate skill. It's a skill that can be learned."

She paused. "Moreover, Mrs. Lu, you're still young. Don't you want your own career? Mrs. Lu, you don't do any work of your own, right? In my opinion, no matter how well a woman marries, if she doesn't have a career of her own, she would still be failing at life."

Shen Weiyin had always been proud of her accomplishments.

In return for her hard work in the past several years, she had become a household name, received invitations from countless directors, and won numerous resplendent trophies.

Actually, in Ye Zhen's opinion, women that fully depended on their husbands were putting themselves in a very dangerous position. It didn't matter how rich their husbands were. Besides, she felt people would be their happiest if they could financially support themselves.

She stroked her belly while lost in thought. She seemed to be seriously considering Shen Weiyin's words.

Lu Beichuan didn't say that he would financially support her in the future, so she didn’t have to worry about earning money. Instead, he only said, "Acting is a tiring job. Since you're not even interested in it, don't enter that messy field. Once the child is born, I'll support you in whatever you want to do."

Ye Zhen was very satisfied with this answer. "Okay, promise!"

Lu Beichuan nodded. "I promise."

Chapter 124 - KO! (3)

Seeing that Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen were looking at each other with unabashed gazes, Shen Weiyin felt as if her smiling mask was going to crack.

She remembered that back when she told Lu Beichuan that she was going to join the entertainment industry, he had only responded with an indifferent "en." He never tried to persuade her to change her mind by saying the words he was telling Ye Zhen.

The Shen's weren't an ordinary family. As her parents' only daughter, Shen Weiyin was the apple of everyone's eye. From childhood to adulthood, she was proactively cared for and lived life without worries. Shen Weiyin was basically a pampered little princess.

A princess would have a princess's temper. When she liked something, she wouldn't easily admit that she liked it. It was because even as a child she knew that if she wanted something, she only needed to linger her gaze over it and someone would offer it to her.

She had thought Lu Beichuan would be the same.

She and Lu Beichuan had been college classmates. Back then, everyone thought they were a match made in heaven. There was no one that could be a more suitable partner.

She had always thought Lu Beichuan liked her too. Her bone-deep pride didn't allow her to say she liked him, but she would always look at him.

She believed that Lu Beichuan knew her feelings for him. In time, he would definitely take the initiative to confess his feelings for her.

However, she waited in vain for all four years of college. Even on their graduation date, Lu Beichuan still hadn't said he liked her.

At that time, she had thought he was busy from taking on the burden of being in charge of the Lu's. Once the dust had settled, he would no longer hold back his feelings.

She thought that Lu Beichuan knew she had feelings for him. A member of the Lu's had even made undisguised jokes about them. At that time, she had thought Lu Beichuan's silence was the same as agreeing. But now, she realized those jokes had simply been beneath his notice.

She had waited so long for him, but all she got in return was the news that Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen had gotten married.

In ancient times, King Xiang had dreamed of the immortal celestial of Wushan, but she wasn't interested. Now, the immortal celestial was interested, but the King Xiang didn't dream of her.

If she had taken the initiative back then to confess, perhaps their ending today would be different.

The blue veins on the back of her hand could clearly be seen as she tightening her grip around the wine glass. Shen Weiyin's expression appeared calm as she put down the wine glass. Placing one hand over the other, she hid the jealousy that was bursting out of her heart.

Ye Qing had been quietly listening to this conversation from the side and could naturally figure out the unspoken implication in Shen Weiyin's words. This woman, who was praised by countless people as a goddess, wasn't actually better than the average person. She was just an ordinary mortal woman that would feel jealous too.

At most, she had above average looks, could hide her feelings and thoughts, and restrain herself better than the average person.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing felt a twisted joy strangely rising in her heart.

"Weiyin, you're optimistic about my younger sister's future in the entertainment circle. What do you think about me then?"

Ye Qing and Ye Zhen were identical twins. Even their voices sounded similar. If Shen Weiyin truly thought Ye Zhen would be able to do well in the entertainment industry, Ye Qing believed she would be able to succeed too.

She expectantly looked at Shen Weiyin and hoped to get the answer that she wanted from her.

Shen Weiyin had only said those words to test Ye Zhen's reaction. If Ye Zhen wanted to enter the entertainment industry, with the Lu's backing her, she would easily be able to do so.

But what did Ye Qing have?

It wouldn't be good to make Ye Qing lose face in front of everyone, so Shen Weiyin said, "Of course, there would be no problem."

"Really?" Ye Qing thought she wasn't any worse than those stars behind the camera lens. She wanted to experience the feeling of being that moon that everyone adored and worshipped. This was her second life, and she remembered very well what had happened in the entertainment industry in her previous life.

It was only the entertainment industry.

Her father's words that day were right. Why should she cling to Lu Beichuan? As long as she could break into the entertainment industry, she would have her choice of men to choose from.

Ye Qing was full of expectations. She could practically see herself in her bright and starry future.

In contrast, Ye Zhen wasn't interested at all. Resting her head on Lu Beichuan's shoulder, she lowered her voice and said, "What so good about being an actress? Mr. Lu, I'll earn a lot of money for you, okay?"
