Chapter 20 - Do you have a younger sister named Ye Zhen? (3)

"... You miserly capitalist!" William, who was from a beautifully harmonious family, couldn't understand such a complicated family situation. "I've said everything that I should. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Lu Beichuan called out to stop him, "You don't have to give that medicine to Uncle Xiao anymore."

For a short while, William didn't react. "What medicine?"

Lu Beichuan succinctly said, "Medicine for deep sleep."

William suddenly realized, "That medicine... don't worry about it. It doesn't have any negative side effects. It's beneficial for the body."

"I said," Lu Beichuan repeated, "don't give that medicine to Uncle Xiao anymore."

William raised his eyebrows, "Alright, I understand. But, I saw those red marks on your wife's neck a few days ago, so I told her to go to a hospital to check for allergies." He looked around the room, shrugged, and said, "There's a bad thing in this room."

"William!"

William heartily laughed and took this opportunity to leave the room.

Lu Beichuan languidly leaned against the headboard. His eyes narrowed.

He really was feeling tired after speaking so much after waking up so recently.

The car accident had happened a year ago. Half a year later, he had regained consciousness. At that time, most of his authority that Old Master Lu had given him had fallen into Lu Shaoren's hands, and he couldn't feel anything below his waist. The diagnosis was that he might spend the rest of his life in bed.

Just for that little bit of power, Lu Shaoren had ruthlessly harmed his own son.

Father and son? Lu Beichuan sneered.

Ye Zhen was standing at the doorway. Seeing the dark scowl on Lu Beichuan's face, her mood was extremely complicated.

He had just woken up and was already working on a major scheme? He really didn't know how to stop and be peaceful. It served him right to have such a horrible ending!

Ye Zhen walked over. Her face showed resentment that things weren't going according to plan. "Are you okay?"

Lu Beichuan opened his eyes. He thoughtfully looked at her. He didn't know why she was feeling aggrieved and worried, but seeing this sight, his mood suddenly improved.

Half-joking, he asked, "I heard you have a younger sister. Her name is Ye Zhen?"

Ye Zhen choked and extremely unnaturally blinked. She hid her real feelings and thoughts behind a blank expression. "What?"

"You're identical twins, right? Do the two of you look exactly the same?"

Faced with Lu Beichuan's piercing gaze, she felt as if there was nowhere to hide. Ye Zhen felt as if he had completely seen through her facade. She felt a p.r.i.c.kling sensation on her back.

"En... yes, we look exactly the same."

Lu Beichuan deliberately toyed with her. "Since the two of you are exactly the same, has there ever been a situation when you took advantage of this?"

Ye Zhen felt weak, but she maintained a calm appearance. Looking at Lu Beichuan, she sternly spoke as if justice was on her side, "That's not possible. Although we look the same, our personalities are different. My younger sister has been cowardly since we were children. She doesn't like to speak. She's especially... not likable! Even if we remain silent, a person that's familiar with us can easily distinguish us. Even if we try to pretend to be each other, it's inevitable that flaws will appear!"

"You're right. No matter how much work is put into pretending, flaws will inevitably appear." Lu Beichuan nodded. "No one is exactly the same as another person. Even if two people are very similar, there's bound to be minor differences. And as long as their a slight difference, there will be a way to differentiate. Don't worry. I'll be able to recognize you. I definitely won't confuse you with your sister."

"Oh, and it's been a while since you married into the Lu Family, but you still haven't formally returned home, right? Wait a few days, and I'll go with you to your old home to see your parents and younger sister."

Ye Zhen: ... She decided that it would be better if the villain spent his time hatching a major scheme.
