“I don’t know much about investing in a company. I’m not sure about the matter you mentioned either,” Ye Zhen replied.
“Although there was a slight misunderstanding between us, we’re still a family. There are some things I must tell you.” Ye Qing took out a stack of documents from her bag and presented it to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen didn’t look through the documents. Looking at the words typed out in a large, bold font on the front page, she asked, “What’s this?”
“As you know, I’m in the entertainment industry. I’m aware of the slightest sign of trouble that’s happening in this industry. Recently, I’ve heard some rumors about you. No matter what, I’m your older sister. If something about you circulates amongst outsiders, it’s inevitable that the Ye’s will become dragged into it.”
Ye Zhen furrowed her brow. Of course, she knew that Ye Qing was saying a bunch of nonsense. There was no way she came here with pure intentions. Still, she flipped through the documents that Ye Qing brought.
“You probably have no idea how quickly rumors spread in the entertainment industry. Right now, everyone thinks of you as the person that came in between Lu Beichuan and Shen Weiyin. Some small weekly publications are stealthily publishing online stories about you to benefit from the traffic, but they don’t dare to boldly state anything.”
Ye Zhen looked through the documents that Ye Qing had brought over. It was as Ye Qing had said, the comments saying she had come between Lu Beichuan and Shen Weiyin’s relationship were snowballing. More and more people were hearing about these rumors, but it was all at the idle gossip level. At most, it was just the gossip published in the tabloids that Ye Qing had brought over.
The rumors portrayed Lu Beichuan and Shen Weiyin as childhood sweethearts, who had pledged an oath of eternal love when they were young. They said that Shen Weiyin had been determined to do her best in the entertainment industry and wouldn’t give up until she got the title of film empress. In the meantime, Lu Beichuan wouldn’t give up on her and waited for her many years. Finally, when Shen Weiyin’s career had taken off and the title of film empress was within reach, Lu Beichuan’s dream of being with Shen Weiyin was dashed by a parvenu’s daughter.
Not only did this other woman get Lu Beichuan drunk and take advantage of him, she got pregnant with his child. She repeatedly came to the Lu’s home and threatened them in order to marry into this prestigious family.
Because of this, this pair of sweethearts, who had gone through so much, missed their chance to be together.
These exposes were being actively discussed in many gossip forums. The topic of a Cinderella-esque marriage had attracted a lot of attention. Specious information was the most deadly. Ambiguous wording was the easiest for people to draw conclusions and believe in them. Under the manipulation of ambitious people, the people interested in gossip revelled in being in the know and believed that the expose was true.
Ye Zhen smiled. She casually flipped through the documents before tossing it onto the coffee table. Seemingly not caring at all, she answered, “So?”
“Are you really not worried about that Shen Weiyin at all?”
“Lu Beichuan is my husband. I believe in my husband, so why should I worry about that Shen Weiyin?”
Her level gaze showed that she had 100% trust in Lu Beichuan.
Ye Qing paused. She didn’t expect that she would fail in evoking a sense of crisis in Ye Zhen. She bit her lip and quietly said, “Do you remember that Shen Weiyin attended dad’s 50th birthday celebration last year?”
Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow and indicated for her to continue.
“Based on my connections back then, do you think I could have met someone like Shen Weiyin?” Ye Qing took a deep breath. With a serious expression, she continued, “I’ll speak frankly with you. Shen Weiyin was the one that reached out to me. She was also the one that brought up dad’s 50th birthday. She intentionally approached me to find out about you. She’s harboring evil intentions!”
“That’s way too troublesome.” Ye Zhen yawned. She looked as if she didn’t take those words to heart at all. “The Shen’s and the Lu’s have been long time family friends. If she wants to see me, she could just come over here. Why would she bother taking the circular route of going to dad’s birthday banquet?”
