Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl
Chapter 131 Boy Girl

Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Boy Girl

Zhen Yan had no idea about his sister’s thoughts, still fantasizing about being heroic tomorrow, fighting two against one, and giving his sister a marvelous scene to watch.

The next day, the siblings went unarmed and beat up their two cousins again, leaving a message, "If Aunt doesn’t care about you two, just bring it on! Each time you come, you’ll get a beating!"

Zhen Yan really did it! Although he took a few hits, his thick skin didn’t show any of it, and he also said it didn’t hurt.

Then... then in the afternoon Mrs. Zhen came home early!

Upon entering the house, she dragged Zhen Yu into the living room to talk.

"Your Uncle came at noon! He said you and your brother beat up his son again?"

"Yep." Zhen Yu nodded expressionlessly, "Did Uncle ask for the maintenance fee?"

"You guys!" Mrs. Zhen was helpless, her daughter was too assertive, and she couldn’t control her! "Your Uncle said, everyone goes to his place tonight to discuss the matter of elder care. It’s just about the money!"

"Okay! I’ll go with you."

"Alright." Mrs. Zhen knew her daughter would definitely go, agreed, and then instructed, "Call your brother back! I’m cooking now, and we’ll head over after we eat."

"...Okay." Zhen Yu had no choice but to agree, immediately putting on her coat and walking out.

As for Han Mingyue hiding in the small bedroom, he had to fend for himself...

In the dead of winter, there was nobody in the yard. Calling out over the wall wouldn’t be heard, so Zhen Yu left her own yard to find her brother at the Fu Family’s place.

Fortunately, when Zhen Yu and Zhen Yan got home, Mrs. Zhen was cutting vegetables in the kitchen. Nothing seemed off, she probably hadn’t gone into the small bedroom.

Zhen Yu gave Zhen Yan a meaningful look, "Brother! Turn on the TV." She hurried into the small bedroom without even taking off her coat.

Zhen Yan immediately understood that this was his cue to cover for them; he reluctantly turned on the TV and sat in the living room, watching Mrs. Zhen’s movements.

——

"Come down!" Zhen Yu whispered softly.

"Sss." Han Mingyue’s voice was also very soft.

"Legs numb?"

"Yes."

"Walk around a bit, my mom is cooking and it’s fine."

"Okay."

"I have to go out with my mom later, my brother will be at home."

"I understand."

"Sorry! I always make you hide." Zhen Yu felt she needed to apologize, Han Mingyue hadn’t done anything wrong, yet she always made him hide like a thief, she felt somewhat guilty.

"It’s okay, I understand." Han Mingyue smiled, paused, then said, "There was something I wanted to talk to you about later. But now..."

Zhen Yu pondered for a moment, pushed Han Mingyue to the very inside behind the small curtain, and sat down next to him.

This way, from the doorway, it would seem like she was sitting behind the curtain by herself.

"Let’s talk here."

Han Mingyue sat restrained, knees hugged to his chest, the two squished together arm to arm.

"So, uh, last night Uncle Zhen came to my house for a drink." After stumbling over the first sentence, the rest flowed more smoothly. "He was chatting with my dad and I overheard a few things."

"Oh, what did he say?" Zhen Yu was also curious, the matter Han Mingyue particularly wanted to tell her must be quite important!

Han Mingyue pondered for a moment, then described the conversation at that time to Zhen Yu.

——

Zhen Halong took a sip of alcohol, "You say! The closer she gets to giving birth, the more uncertain I feel inside!"

"You already have one son and one daughter, what difference does it make what she gives birth to?" Mr. Han consoled.

"How can it be the same!" Mr. Zhen was slightly agitated, "That son is surnamed Cheng! He takes after his mother! Will he be there to support me in my old age?!"

"You, sigh!" Mr. Han shook his head and sighed, "You’re still the father even after divorce! If you treat them well, why wouldn’t they be filial to you?"

"Sigh..." Mr. Zhen sighed again and turned back to the previous topic, "It wasn’t easy for Xiao Ju to conceive this child! She really wants this child! After all, she had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy before, and who knows when she could get pregnant again! Maybe this is the only child she’ll have in her lifetime."

Mr. Han nodded in understanding but said no more.

He disapproved of Zhen Halong having an affair during marriage. Because of this, Mrs. Han actually particularly disliked Zhen Halong.

Moreover, as a doctor, he could deduce from the expected delivery date of the child when Ju Zhen got pregnant.

"This unease in my heart! Hiss!" Mr. Zhen took another sip of alcohol, "What will I do if she gives birth to a daughter?!"

Mr. Han said straightforwardly: "What can you do? Boy or girl, aren’t they both your children?"

"That child was an accident initially! If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have chosen to divorce." Mr. Zhen, a bit drunk, let out some pent-up words.

"Ju Zhen cried and begged me, saying she might only be able to have this one child in her life! She didn’t want the child to be born fatherless! I, I had no choice!"

From an outsider’s perspective, Mr. Han spoke a fair word for Zhen Yan and his sister, "This child already has a father, what about the other two?"

"I have watched them grow from tiny tots to what they are today. Even I, as their uncle, can’t bear it, how about you as their father?"

A single sentence left Mr. Zhen with red-rimmed eyes, "Brother Han! You’re closer! Please take care of those two siblings for me! They, they..."

He couldn’t continue his words, but Mr. Han understood, what else could it be? They simply disliked their biological father!

"You rest assured! Even if you didn’t mention it, I would still care! Even if not for our friendship, I’ve been watching these kids for so many years, I couldn’t just ignore them. There’s still my daughter-in-law!"

——

Mr. Han’s last words were not passed on to Zhen Yu by Han Mingyue.

All above is what he heard.

"Xiao Yu, Uncle Zhen,"

"He is he, I am me." Zhen Yu interrupted Han Mingyue, the truth emerging in the emotions of her drunkenness, but fleeting and unsustainable.

From her past life, Zhen Yu already had a profound understanding of what kind of person Mr. Zhen was.

"Don’t tell my brother about this."

"Okay."

Zhen Yu took a deep breath, falling silent.

Han Mingyue quietly sat beside her, not disturbing her.

Although Zhen Yu appeared calm internally, her silence was due to her strategizing.

Clearly, Mr. Zhen particularly cared about the gender of this child.

Zhen Yu had thought that if it wasn’t a son, Mr. Zhen might continue to have children with the mistress, and if it came to fighting for custody of Zhen Yan, it might not be too fierce.

But now she didn’t think so.

Once the mistress gives birth, Mr. Zhen might not immediately think of Zhen Yan, but Grandpa Zhen definitely would! And he would probably demand fiercely that Zhen Yan follows his father.

What to do, to seize the initiative in this ’battle’, and even to ultimately prevail, was now the main problem Zhen Yu was considering.

She would never let her brother suffer the mistress’s manipulations!
