Chapter 246: Chapter 245: Playing Dirty Tricks

"Dinner should be ready soon; I’ll go check it out." Han Mingyue’s movement was somewhat hurried as she suddenly stood up and walked out the door, leaving Zhen Yu sitting on the bed, puzzled and somewhat confused as to why she would run off in the middle of their conversation.

But that’s probably for the best! Although an eight-person dormitory doesn’t offer much privacy, the roommates were all simple small-town girls, and it lacked the manipulative drama of high school boarding life.

And since everyone was female, they got used to living together! Later on, by simply hanging a curtain on the bed to pull close, it could become a small world unto itself.

If she were to live with the Han Family... Zhen Yu shook her head.

Forget it! Don’t think about it anymore! After all, mom would definitely never agree!

On the surface, it seemed as if Mrs. Zhen and the Han Family had come to a peaceful coexistence.

But in truth, Zhen Yu knew all along that her mother stubbornly believed that Mr. Han had known about Mr. Zhen’s infidelity from the start, and she still harboured resentment for his ’deliberate concealment’.

Apart from the time Grandpa Zhen passed away, Zhen Yu later tried to mediate with her mother twice.

One attempt backfired, deepening her mother’s hostility towards Mr. Han; and on another occasion... her motives were strongly doubted by Mrs. Zhen.

Zhen Yu struggled greatly to clear herself from that mess, and since then, she never dared to bring it up again.

Because she feared that her feelings for Han Mingyue would be prematurely revealed, and knowing her mother’s attitude towards the Han Family, the consequences would be all too predictable!

——

Before sitting for much longer, Mrs. Han came in.

She helped Zhen Yu with the iron rack holding her IV drip as they went to have dinner.

Mr. Han had purposely received the IV in his left hand, so Zhen Yu’s mobility was not greatly hindered.

The Han Family didn’t have many dining rules; after all, the family was scattered during the day, with everyone attending school, working, or running the clinic. They counted on this little time in the evening to bond.

As they chatted, nobody knew how but Mr. and Mrs. Han’s topic naturally drifted onto the children.

Upon reflection, perhaps this wasn’t so difficult to understand; maybe it’s just a natural instinct of parenthood.

Mrs. Han, quite puzzled, said, "Is your brother crazy? He lays aside a fine girl like Zhen Yu and insists on having some damn sons!"

The two ’damn sons’ silently shoveled food into their mouths, as if by not speaking they could turn invisible.

You can’t see me! You can’t see me! You can’t see me...

Too bad! A mother’s eyes are keen, how could they allow avoidance?

"Jeez! Old Han! When I and Old Cheng were having a second child, how come she managed to have a girl?" Mrs. Han wondered.

Hearing this, Han Mingyue’s chopsticks hesitated for a moment. He sympathetically glanced at his brother and thought, "Here we go again..."

Sure enough, the next second, he heard Mrs. Han’s voice, "Just look at how similar Jiaoyang and Zhen Yan’s personalities are! And then look at Ming Yue and Xiao Yu! I really suspect that maybe we got the babies mixed up! Could it be that Xiao Yu is actually my biological daughter? What do you say, Old Han?"

But before Mr. Han could speak up, Han Jiayang couldn’t take it anymore, "Mom! Are you really my mom? What kind of mother are you, always disparaging me in my presence!"

"I disparage you behind your back too!" Mrs. Han retorted instantly.

"Pft..." Mr. Han couldn’t help but chuckle.

Mrs. Han persisted, "Hey! I’m serious! Old Han, do you think it’s possible that we got them mixed up..."

Zhen Yu glanced at the expressionless Han Mingyue and carefully observed the exasperated Han Jiayang, beaten down by Mrs. Han’s remarks. The features of the two brothers were carved from the same mold.

The only difference being Han Mingyue had straight eyebrows, while Han Jiayang had sword-like eyebrows.

How could a mix-up happen? Only if both were mixed up!

After finishing her snarky comment, Zhen Yu immediately glanced at Han Youliang, thinking to herself: "Three people, six eyes, they look just like three black grapes plucked from a bunch—unless all three were mixed up..."

---

The next day, after breakfast, Mr. Han administered an IV drip to Zhen Yu and then left assuredly.

Mrs. Han may not know how to insert a needle, but she was capable of removing it!

Zhen Yu was sitting on the bed, flipping through a pile of books Han Mingyue had found for her to read, all stacked not far from her bedside.

After about an hour, she felt the urge to use the restroom and walked out of the room with the IV stand.

Mrs. Han was sitting on the couch watching TV and quickly stood up when she heard the bedroom door, "Going to the toilet?"

"Yep!" Zhen Yu nodded, then she noticed the unusual quietness of the house and casually asked, "Han Jiayang isn’t home?"

"He went out to play with his brother! It’s better when he’s not home. Listen how peaceful it is in the house!" Mrs. Han never missed a chance to make snide remarks about her son.

"Hehe... It is pretty peaceful." Zhen Yu chuckled, thinking this must be a case of ’mother knows best’!

---

Zhen Yu and Mrs. Han both thought the Han Family Brothers had just gone out to play, but in fact, these two were currently facing off with Fu Yu in a deep pit bottom towards the train station!

Rivals coming face to face indeed made them green with envy! The reason Han Jiayang managed to get Fu Yu to come along when he called at the Fu Family was precisely because Fu Yu too had been irked by Han Mingyue for quite some time!

However, a fight is a fight, and Fu Yu certainly was no fool. On the way over he figured out that he couldn’t win a two-against-one, so first he had to stop them with words.

So when he saw Han Mingyue, the first thing he said was: "What’s this? Planning to gang up on me?"

"Wouldn’t dream of it," Han Mingyue replied indifferently, hands behind his back.

Immediately, Fu Yu retorted: "Then let your brother step back!"

When Han Mingyue opened his mouth, Fu Yu thought he was going to comply, but instead, he heard Han Mingyue order: "Let’s do it!"

"Damn!" Fu Yu blurted out a curse, but it was futile.

In just a few seconds, he was locked in a struggle with Han Jiayang, and then he saw from the corner of his eye Han Mingyue rushing over swiftly.

"You and one against me, what kind of skill is that! If you have the guts, let’s have a one-on-one fight!" Fu Yu was still trying to provoke, even at that moment.

Too bad Han Mingyue wasn’t taking the bait! Because he had no intention of fighting Fu Yu at all. What he wanted to do was...

While Fu Yu couldn’t move, drench him in cold water!

But the pouring didn’t happen, because Han Mingyue, worried about accidentally hitting his brother, changed his mind at last minute to something even more ruthless!

He directly poured a bottle of cold water down Fu Yu’s neckline into his clothes!

Fu Yu shivered violently as the cold water soaked into his garment!

But the Han Family Brothers didn’t let him off that easily; they pushed him down into the snowy ground and rolled around with him several times!

Fu Yu kept cursing obscenely, while the Han Family Brothers remained silent, offering no response.

As Han Mingyue was timing and signaling his brother to get up, Fu Yu was already gasping for breath...

"Han Mingyue, are you freaking sick? If you want to fight, fight! What kind of skill is it to play dirty tricks!"

"This is what you owe Zhen Yu!" Han Mingyue’s voice was colder than the snow in the pit, "She’s moving in half a month! If I hear of you hopping the fence to harass her again, I’ll make sure you stay sick until Tomb-Sweeping Festival! See if you’ll have the strength to climb walls then!"
