As the illegitimate daughter of the Ye Group, Ye Anyu was told from a young a...

Ye Anyu was carried to the dining table. Lu Mingzhou brought breakfast from the kitchen, or to be more precise, brunch. A blue and white porcelain bowl was filled with beef noodles, surrounded by white noodles, green onions, and crimson beef. It was filled with steam and smelled delicious.
"Try it."
Ye Anyu picked up a piece of beef. The meat was delicate, tender, and juicy. It was even more delicious than it looked. Ye Anyu couldn't help but give it a thumbs up. "It's really delicious!"
Lu Mingzhou was satisfied with the answer and sat down opposite her. "If it tastes good, eat more." He then gave her the beef in his bowl.
Ye Anyu looked at the large chunks of beef in the bowl and said, "Brother, are you feeding me like a pig?"
Lu Mingzhou looked at her petite body, which had not a pound of flesh on it, and sighed. "An Yu, you're too thin."
While eating, she asked, "Brother, did you cook this meat?"
Lu Mingzhou ate very quickly, finishing his meal in no time. He stared at Ye Anyu and said, "Of course I made it."
After dinner, Ye Anyu wanted to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Lu Mingzhou. Looking at Lu Mingzhou busy in the kitchen, she felt a sense of security for the first time.
Ye Xinyi's birthday party was held in the evening, but usually they could leave in the afternoon. Ye Anyu finally agreed to her request. She wanted to see what she was up to and what she was planning.
However, she didn't say when she would arrive. Ye Anyu planned to go there in the evening, show up and then come back.
Lu Mingzhou was busy in the study for the whole afternoon, and Ye Anyu did not disturb him. She painted for a while in the living room and watched TV. The sun set in the west and the sky gradually darkened.
Ye Anyu then changed her clothes, put on some light makeup and set off for the birthday party.
At the Huaguang Hotel, Ye Xinyi wore a pink long dress, with delicate makeup on her face and long wavy hair hanging down. She looked like a real princess.
"Xinyi, why hasn't your sister arrived yet?" asked a girl in a white dress with loose brown hair.
Ye Xinyi snorted coldly. She got angry just thinking about it. She had personally invited Ye Anyu, but she hadn't shown up yet. It was really embarrassing for her. She was so arrogant just because she helped her father. If her father hadn't insisted on inviting her, she would definitely not have done so.
But since she had invited him, she had to make sure Ye Anyu suffered the consequences. She had already imagined how Ye Anyu would be humiliated in a while.
Downstairs of the Huaguang Hotel, a bright black Bentley stopped in style, the door opened, and a slender man in a white turtleneck sweater and a black coat got out of the car. He walked to the passenger seat and opened the door like a gentleman, first revealing a pair of slender legs. A woman with a good figure got out of the car holding the man's arm.
The two people were Ye Anyu and Lu Mingzhou. Originally, Ye Anyu wanted to come alone, but after considering the consequences of her acting alone last time, Lu Mingzhou decisively changed his clothes and followed her when she went out.
"Brother, actually you really don't have to come." Ye Anyu knew that in previous years, Ye Xinyi's birthday party would more or less invite some of Ye Heshuo's business partners, and today would probably be no exception. If Lu Mingzhou came, he would have to entertain people, and he could finally have a chance to rest.
"You don't have to worry about me. I'm already very happy to be with you."
Regardless of whether it is sincere or not, any woman would be very happy to hear this, and Ye Anyu is no exception.
As soon as I walked to the door of the banquet hall, I could hear the bustling sounds inside.
The two had intended to walk in quietly, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned. As soon as they reached the door, they ran into a friend who had also just arrived and whom they knew.
Shi Taichu's loud voice attracted the attention of the people nearby: "Mr. Lu, you are here too." When he said this, his eyes fell on Ye Anyu's face.
Lu Mingzhou hugged Ye Anyu's shoulders tightly and said, "I came here to accompany my wife."
Taichu didn't say anything when he heard this, but Lu Mingzhou's words "he came here with his wife" caused gossip among the people nearby. Just like that, the silence spread from a small area nearby, to the adjacent areas, until the entire banquet hall became quiet.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the couple. It was Ye Anyu's first time in such an occasion, and she was a little uncomfortable for a moment. Lu Mingzhou held her hand tightly.
Ye Heshuo was overjoyed when he saw the two of them. He strode over and said with a smile, "Mingzhou, why did you come here so suddenly without telling me in advance?"
"Mr. Ye." Lu Mingzhou said calmly.
"What's Mr. Ye? Today is Xinyi's birthday party."
People around him started talking at once: "Who is that person next to Mr. Lu?"
"Didn't you hear just now? Mr. Lu said he came with his wife, so it must be his wife."
"What's his wife's relationship with Mr. Ye? Why would she come to his daughter's birthday party?"
"I don't know that either."
A girl nearby joined the group chat: "You guys don't know this, but Mr. Ye has more than one daughter. It's said he has an older daughter. Rumors circulated back then that his older daughter was getting married off for an arranged marriage, and it looks like the person she married was Mr. Lu."
"Are they actually getting married?"
She enviously said, "Why not me and Mr. Lu get married?"
"If you want to marry Mr. Lu, you have to consider whether you are qualified."
"But I think this woman is just average."
"This is normal, she looks so good."
…
Lu Mingzhou glanced at the crowd, then withdrew his gaze without changing the address: "Mr. Ye, it's not good to stand like this."
Ye Heshuo finally reacted, laughed awkwardly twice, and went to the private room with the two of them.
Ye Xinyi, who was standing in the distance, was furious. She originally wanted to call Ye Anyu over to embarrass herself, but she didn't expect that she would steal the limelight. She glared at Ye Anyu fiercely.
After the two of them arrived at the private room, they sat down. Ye Heshuo politely had someone pour them some wine, and then said, "An Yu, you didn't even tell me Ming Zhou was coming."
Lu Mingzhou answered first: "I came here to accompany An Yu today." Meaning that he came because she came.
Ye Heshuo closed his mouth.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the banquet hall. Ye Lu and his wife looked at each other and glanced outside in confusion.
Ye Heshuo explained: "It should be the band arriving."
"band?"
Ye Heshuo: "Yes, it seems to be a band called OT something."
Ye Anyu: "OT Life Band."
Ye Heshuo: "Yes, yes, it's this band. Xinyi said she likes this band very much, so she invited them to sing a few songs at her birthday party." At this point, Ye Heshuo suddenly realized something and shut his mouth guiltily.
They are both daughters, but one daughter never even received a birthday blessing on her birthday, while he was willing to spend time and money to hire a band for the other daughter. Even though Ye Anyu has been through a lot, he couldn't help but feel disheartened by this disparity.
Ye Anyu sneered.
Ye Heshuo quickly made up for it, "Xinyi kept pestering me, and I really couldn't help it."
The crying child gets candy, but that is for children who are loved. For a child like her who is not loved, crying will only bring more harm.
Ye Xinyi and the girl in the white dress came to the private room. Her face was full of boasting, and she said to Ye Heshuo coquettishly: "Dad, thank you, you are so good to me."
Ye Heshuo glanced at Lu Mingzhou next to him, then said to Ye Xinyi: "Xinyi, go out and listen to some music."
Ye Xinyi glared at Ye Anyu fiercely and walked out unconvinced. As she walked out, she heard the girl next to her say, "I didn't expect that the bumpkin who was bullied since childhood would now fly up to the tree and become a phoenix. Xinyi, didn't Uncle Ye hate her before? Why is he so nice to her now?"
Ye Xinyi rolled her eyes: "How can I be good to her? It's because she married Brother Mingzhou."
The girl continued to sow discord, "If I remember correctly, it was you who married Lu Mingzhou."
Ye Xinyi's face was ferocious, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I will definitely teach her a lesson." She came up with an idea.
After Ye Heshuo achieved his goal, he left. Only Ye Anyu and his wife were left in the private room. Lu Mingzhou said, "Anyu, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Anyu shook his head. He was a little angry just now, and his face turned red because he drank some wine.
The door to the private room was open. People who had been coveting a relationship with Lu Mingzhou rushed in immediately after seeing Ye Heshuo leave. Ye Anyu looked at Lu Mingzhou, who was worried, and said, "Brother, I'm fine."
Lu Mingzhou was afraid that someone would come and disturb Ye Anyu, so he said, "I'll be out for a while." After that, he picked up the wine glass on the table and walked out, closing the door considerately.
"Mr. Lu."
"Mr. Lu."
"Mr. Lu, it's an honor to meet you."
"Mr. Lu, was that your wife just now?"
…
As soon as the door was closed, the world became quiet in an instant. Ye Anyu took a pillow and placed it next to his head. He found a comfortable position and leaned on the sofa, closing his eyes.
Just as she closed her eyes, she heard a noise at the door. Ye Anyu thought it was Lu Mingzhou who had returned and asked, "Brother, why are you back so soon?"
This one sentence made Ye Xinyi furious, but she still had to endure it because she came here to ask Ye Anyu for help.
"Sister, I'm not Brother Mingzhou."
Ye Anyu frowned. Every time Ye Xinyi called her sister, nothing good happened.
She opened her eyes, her eyes were cold and her mouth was wrinkled. She saw her good sister walked to her side and sat down. She moved to the side.
Ye Xinyi held back her outburst. She climbed onto Ye Anyu's arm with ill intentions and said, "Sister, I have something I want to ask you for help with."
Lu Mingzhou originally wanted to push those people away and take Ye Anyu home, but he didn't expect that people would keep coming. Just when he was about to find a chance to push them away, he saw Ye Anyu walking out of the private room.
After Ye Anyu came out, she looked around and locked her eyes on Lu Mingzhou. She originally just wanted to inform him, but she didn't expect that as soon as she saw him, his eyes turned to her, and then the people surrounding him looked over. They were saying something, but the distance was too far for Ye Anyu to hear.
Lu Mingzhou waved at her.
"This must be Mrs. Lu." As soon as Ye Anyu walked over, someone toasted her.
Lu Mingzhou put one hand on her shoulder and took the wine glass from her hand very smoothly with his other hand. He smiled and said, "My wife can't hold her liquor well, so I'll drink for her."
Later, everyone present discovered that Mr. Lu Mingzhou, who was always serious, always smiled when talking about his wife.
