This Shen Weiyin was truly blessed by heaven. Her tall and slender figure stood out in a crowd. Her skin was smooth, and her facial features were stunning. Just by walking there in her red dress, everyone else faded into the background. She easily became the focus of everyone's attention. The people that came and went recognized her. From time to time, a person would find a reason to approach her to chat.

Mother Ye whispered to Ye Qing, "How come I didn't know you were friends with Shen Weiyin before?"

Ye Qing smiled. "I have lots of friends, and you never asked me. Besides, your daughter is so outstanding, is it that strange I would know Shen Weiyin?"

"Tell me the truth. How did you meet her?"

"Just through a mutual friend." A bit unhappy, Ye Qing furrowed her brow as she looked at her mother. "Mom, I'm just making a new friend. Why are you so concerned about it?"

"Why can't I know what friends my daughter is making?" Not having a better option, Mother Ye could only say, "Never mind, I can't control the choices you make. But remember that your younger sister is pregnant now, don't argue with her when she gets here."

Hearing these words, Ye Qing looked a bit annoyed, but she quickly covered up her displeasure. "I got it. You don't have to worry about this."

Mother Ye finally relaxed after imploring her older daughter.

Pregnant? Ye Qing inwardly scoffed. She looked at Shen Weiyin.

She had always had great ambitions and never felt that any of her friends were more outstanding than her. But when it came to Shen Weiyin, she had to admit this woman was a little bit better than her.

Shen Weiyin was amiable and kind-hearted. She had a graceful bearing and treated others well. Moreover, she was beautiful and glamorous. She had countless fans. Was there any youth that didn't recognize her?

Since this woman was even more outstanding than her, there was no way she would lose to Ye Zhen.

Although Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen were already married and Ye Zhen was pregnant, Ye Qing still couldn't let bygones be bygones. It wasn't fair. Ye Zhen had done nothing. It was only good luck that gave Ye Zhen the status of Mrs. Lu.

She had no intention or need to delve into the real reason why Shen Weiyin had approached her to be friends. It didn't matter. This woman once had a close relationship with Lu Beichuan and had a past with Lu Beichuan that other people didn't have. She would be happy as long as Shen Weiyin caused Ye Zhen to feel upset.

Seeing Mrs. Ye walking away, Shen Weiyin walked over to Ye Qing. Smilingly, she said, "I heard you have an identical twin sister. Make sure to introduce us later."

Ye Qing smiled back at her. "Of course, but my younger sister is pregnant, so Mr. Lu probably won't easily let her out of his sight."

Shen Weiyin nonchalantly sipped the glass of red wine. "Hmm... It sounds like Mr. Lu is deeply in love with your younger sister."

"Of course, otherwise she wouldn't be pregnant a month after their wedding."

Shen Weiyin faintly smiled and nodded. She didn't say anything else.

Ye Qing looked at Shen Weiyin from the corner of her eyes and paid attention to her expression. Looking down, she fainty smiled too.

Suddenly, there was movement by the doors. A lot of people in the venue hall looked over in that direction to watch the people entering the hall.

Carefully looking over there, Ye Qing saw that it was Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen.

Since Ye Zhen was pregnant, Lu Beichuan had left work to come here with her. He had the driver drive slowly on the way here. It should have only taken half an hour to get here, but the reduced driving speed had extended the trip to an hour.

Fearing that she would get cold, he bundled her up as soon as she stepped out of the car.

Father Ye was following them on the side. Smiling, he led them into the venue hall. Sensing everyone's gazes, he lifted his head and chest high. He felt very proud of himself.

One after another, the guests invited by Father Ye came forward and looked for the right time to speak with Lu Beichuan.

Lu Beichuan had become an expert at handling this type of scene a long time. But, lowering his head to look at the person in his arms, he saw that her brow was furrowed. Worried that an accident might happen with so many people around, he quietly said to Ye Zhen, "Go find a place to sit down first. I'll go over there as soon as I'm done with the things here."

Ye Zhen nodded.

Father Ye led Ye Zhen to a quiet spot to sit. After saying a few pleasantries about taking care of herself, he impatiently left.

Ye Zhen sat down. Holding a glass of juice, she observed all sorts of people greeting Lu Beichuan and trying to strike up a conversation.

He remained unruffled and deftly handled the crowd. It seemed that he was already a master of this type of social interaction, where you had to know when to advance or retreat in accordance with etiquette.

His suit was meticulous, and his buttoned shirt covered everything. Just by leisurely standing there, he had a lofty aura that set him apart from others. This man would only give his gentle gazes to his wife.

Who wouldn't love such an outstanding and self-disciplined man?

It didn't take long before she lost sight of Lu Beichuan in the crowd of people that approached him.

Ye Zhen stopped looking his way. After she had only taken a few sips of her juice, she saw Ye Qing coming towards her and bringing a woman with her. They sat down across from her.

There was a big smile on Ye Qing's face. It was as if she had completely forgotten about the previous ill-feelings between them and her embarrassment at the wedding. "Zhenzhen, I heard you're pregnant. Congratulations."

However, there wasn't the slightest trace of sincere joy on her face. What kind of congratulations was this?

Ye Zhen didn't want to feign civility with her. She gave a lukewarm response. "Thanks."

"Let me introduce you to someone. This is my friend, Shen Weiyin."

Shen Weiyin?

Ye Zhen scrutinized the beautiful and exquisite woman by Ye Qing's side.

She naturally knew about this woman.

Shen Weiyin was a popular actress. In recent years, she had won many awards for her outstanding roles in movies and TVs. She was only one step away from being given the title of Film Empress.

However, this wasn't that important. The important thing was that this goddess-level person was Lu Beichuan's college classmate. College campuses were a place for youthful feelings to bud. No one knew what exactly happened between Shen Weiyin and Lu Beichuan in college, but Ye Zhen knew that this famous actress had endorsed a product that was under the banner of the Lu's Corporation. And, there had been a scandal between her and Lu Beichuan.

In the novel, because Lu Beichuan adored and admired Ye Qing, Shen Weiyin became one of Ye Qing's formidable rivals. Shen Weiyin did her best to cause Ye Qing trouble at every turn. But in the end, Shen Weiyin's efforts had been the same as picking up a rock to smash her own feet.

It went against Ye Zhen's expectations that Shen Weiyin would now strangely stand on the same side as Ye Qing.

At the same time she was looking over Shen Weiyin, Shen Weiyin was looking over her too. Shen Weiyin's gaze faintly flitted over Ye Zhen's belly. "Miss Ye doesn't look pregnant."

Ye Zhen smiled. "It's only been over a month. It's still early in the pregnancy, so it's hard to tell."

"You and Beichuan have only been married for a month, and you immediately got pregnant. Based on my understanding of Beichuan, you're not his type. Have you two had time to cultivate your feelings?"

"Oh? Miss Shen, you even know what kind of woman my husband likes?"

"We were college classmates. Once..." Shen Weiyin's red lips curved into a slight smile as she looked at Ye Zhen. Her unspoken words were self-evident.
