Chapter 7: It's Not Hard to Breathe a Sigh of Relief

Zuo Ye was a very traditional man, which was why Lu Yuxin had to restore her virginity and turn their relationship into a formal one. Of course, he could never know about her past, including her pregnancy and abortion.

"Lin Yike, don't threaten me. Zuo Ye loves me so much that he won't believe a word you say," Lu Yuxin glared at her.

"I don't know how much he loves you, but I don't like men who are prone to cheating. And, I didn't plan on giving you this room. If you don't leave, I'll call Zuo Ye and see if he believes me or not." Lin Yike reached for her phone as she spoke.

Before Lin Yike could finish her sentence, Lu Yuxin stormed out of the room to find her mother, Lu Huixin.

"What's wrong with my little angel? I just calmed your dad down, so be good and make my life easier," Lu Huixin warned her.

"Mom, it's because you're too soft-hearted. You should have kicked them out together from the beginning. Now she's still trying to compete with me for the room," Lu Yuxin complained.

"Don't be loud, or your dad might hear you," Lu Huixin panicked and covered Lu Yuxin's mouth with her hand.

"It's just a bedroom, why bother fighting with her? It's not that important. You're going to marry into the Zuo family in a year, so you should focus on Zuo Ye. You're engaged already, hurry him up to get the marriage certificate before it's too late," Lu Huixin advised.

"You don't need to worry, he's already under my thumb, obedient like a little puppy," Lu Yuxin boasted.

However, Lu Huixin reminded her, "Back then, who was crying and scared that Zuo Ye wouldn't take responsibility? If it wasn't for Yutong's advice to fake a pregnancy and a miscarriage and blame it on Lin Yike, would you have been able to win Zuo Ye over?"

Lu Yuxin and her twin sister, Lu Yutong, were both proud daughters of Lu Huixin. Lu Yutong was currently a rising star in the entertainment industry, filming abroad for the past two years.

"Yes, in your eyes, sister is always better than me," Lu Yuxin grumbled and picked up a jewelry box from the dresser, handing it to Lu Huixin.

"Zuo Ye just gave this to me today. It's a family heirloom of the Zuo family, only passed down to daughters-in-law."

Inside the box were a pair of jade bangles, a brilliant green without any impurities, clearly of the highest quality. Gold has a price, but jade is priceless. These bangles were certainly invaluable, which is why they were passed down as a family treasure.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Lu Huixin's head. "Yuxin, it's not that hard to let go of your anger..."

That night, Lin Yike slept soundly in her own room at the Lin household.

She had a habit of sleeping in, and the next morning, it was still Wu Hui who woke her up.

"Wu Ma, what time is it?" Lin Yike sat up in bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"It's eight o'clock. Let's go downstairs now. We can have breakfast with your dad, and you can talk to him about what you wanted to say," reminded Wu Hui as she helped Lin Yike put on her coat.

After changing and freshening up, Lin Yike headed downstairs.

In the dining room, Lin Jianshan and Lu Huixin were having breakfast with a lively atmosphere, chatting and laughing.

Lin Yike couldn't help but admire Lu Huixin's tactics. Yesterday's incident had not affected her at all. As a politician, Lin Jianshan was not easy to handle, but Lu Huixin seemed to have him under control.

If her mother had half of Lu Huixin's abilities, she wouldn't have ended up with such a sad divorce. Qin Fei was too proud and refused to cater to men. Women needed self-respect, but excessive pride might not be a good thing.

Lin Yike sat down in her designated seat and politely greeted everyone, "Good morning, Dad, Auntie, Sister."

Lu Yuxin didn't even look up and made a soft snort from her nose.

Under the table, Lu Huixin reached out and pulled her daughter's shirt, regretting that her daughter couldn't keep her temper.
