Chapter 322: Chapter 321: Don’t Come Again

Zhen Yan immediately wanted to refuse upon hearing about having dinner with his father and ’the whole family’, "I,"

Zhen Yu hurriedly interrupted him, "Let’s go, just the two of us!"

Brother isn’t young anymore, Zhen Yu didn’t want to always shoulder everything for him and protect him like a delicate flower!

Only by letting him experience more can he gradually mature and step by step become independent.

"Mom’s not going?" Zhen Yan still thought Mrs. Zhen would also have to go along!

"Why should I go?! To make myself angry?" Mrs. Zhen said with a tiger-like frown: "I really don’t have the leisure for that!"

"...Then let’s go, just the two of us!" Zhen Yan said with a stern face. If mother wouldn’t go, he couldn’t let his sister go alone.

The restaurant Mr. Zhen chose was not far from the game arcade, just a few dozen meters away.

As soon as the siblings entered, they were led to a private room.

Zhen Yu sneered in her heart!

Looks like Mr. Zhen was also afraid that they wouldn’t be able to agree on things and start quarreling in the hall, embarrassing themselves!

As soon as they sat down, Mr. Zhen wanted to introduce that woman to the siblings, but Zhen Yan blocked him with a sentence.

"Let’s just eat! Don’t bring up useless stuff! I don’t want to hear it!"

Mr. Zhen’s face turned very sour, but he still restrained his anger and said, "How can you speak like that, my child! What do you mean, ’useless’?"

The woman suddenly spoke up and interrupted Mr. Zhen’s words, saying in a delicate voice, "Oh, come on! If they don’t want to bother with me, just drop it! I told you I could wait for you at my place, but you insisted on me coming, sigh..."

"If you know we don’t want to bother with you, then shut your mouth!" Zhen Yu was utterly unapologetic, "If you really want to go back and wait, you can take a taxi now! Do you need me to open the door for you?"

"..." Both the woman and Mr. Zhen fell silent.

In the following time, the only sound in the private room was the waiter serving dishes back and forth.

As the waiter announced, "Your dishes are all served!" Mr. Zhen, as if a switch was turned on, immediately began to enthusiastically call on his children.

"Come on, come on! Pick up the chopsticks! Xiao Yan, you love meat, here is a rib for you!"

"Here! Xiao Yu, this piece is for you!"

Zhen Yan and Zhen Yu had already discussed their strategy before coming! They came with the mindset, ’If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move!’ Eat when told to eat, and not a word more.

Mr. Zhen waited a while, and probably realizing the two of them wouldn’t take the initiative, he had to open his mouth himself.

"Why didn’t your mom come?" He addressed this question to Zhen Yan.

Maybe Mr. Zhen also realized after repeated interactions that his daughter was not someone to be trifled with!

"To do what? To see you’ve found yourself a new young wife?" Zhen Yan retorted as soon as he opened his mouth.

"...Sigh! Dad was wrong about what happened back then, but that matter and Aunt Zhang,"

"I don’t have an aunt! Don’t try to be close!" Zhen Yan left no room for sentimentality and directly interrupted his father’s words.

Zhen Yu had been glancing at the two all along, and at that moment, she noticed that the woman surnamed Zhang subtly winked at Mr. Zhen.

Hmph! Quite scheming, indeed! No wonder she was able to drive Ju Zhen off the stage.

Upon receiving that look, Mr. Zhen did not bring up the woman again and instead turned the topic to business.

"Xiao Yan, Dad won a prize a while back, right!"

Zhen Yu suddenly interjected, "What now? You want to give your eldest son half?"

"..." Mr. Zhen was left speechless by his daughter!

But in the end, he thickened his skin and ignored her words, continuing on, "Dad is quite busy nowadays, and the hardware store is being looked after by hired workers. Keeping idle money in the bank isn’t a solution either, so Dad was thinking of finding someone to partner with in doing business!"

"You have spare cash? Then pay our child support in full first! We’re tight on money!"

When Zhen Yan said this, Zhen Yu immediately pursed her lips into a smile.

Nice one, bro! Your combat strength has increased!!

---

Mr. Zhen took several attempts to swallow down his pride! Straining, he managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Your mom is running such a big business now! How could you guys possibly be tight on money? Don’t joke with your dad!"

"Who’s joking with you!" Zhen Yan immediately put on a stern face! "You know that mom is running a business, does running a business not require investment? Did those computers get blown in by the wind? The living expenses you provided only cover food and drink for me and my sister; all the school expenses are paid by mom alone! I never thought to ask you for extra money, I just want you to give the living allowance in advance for our schooling, is that too much to ask?!"

Mr. Zhen couldn’t say it was too much to ask.

But he didn’t want to say it was okay, either.

He racked his brains and suddenly thought of a clever plan! "Xiao Yan, how about this?"

"Actually! Dad came here to discuss a partnership with you! How about this! I invest the money into your arcade! When it makes a profit, just let your mom deduct your living expenses from there, wouldn’t that be alright?"

"Don’t dream in broad daylight!" Zhen Yu snapped Mr. Zhen back to reality without hesitation.

"What are you talking nonsense for, Zhen Yu!" Mr. Zhen scolded with a cold face! In his heart, wasn’t it the case that in every household the man is the master and makes the decisions!

His son is all grown up, tall and strong! Even if his daughter is powerful, she definitely should listen to her brother! Mrs. Zhen... what insights could she have!

So he thought, as long as he convinced his son, the opinions of the two women wouldn’t count for shit! They simply wouldn’t matter!

---

And the result...

"What do you mean my sister is talking nonsense!" As soon as Zhen Yan heard his father scolding his sister, he immediately slammed down his chopsticks!

"We won’t partner up with you no matter what! Just get that idea out of your head!"

Mr. Zhen flew into a rage! "Zhen Yan! You unfilial son! Is that how you speak to your father?!"

"I don’t know about filial piety! Even though you’re not willing to give us our child support now! But when you’re old, my sister and I won’t skimp on providing for you!"

After uttering these words, Zhen Yan ’whooshed’ to his feet!

"It’s alright not to eat this meal! We don’t want the remaining child support! From now on, don’t come looking for us again! Even if you do, we won’t see you! Xiao Yu! Let’s go!"

Zhen Yu had already stood up as her brother did, and upon hearing the word "let’s go," she didn’t say another word but headed straight for the door!

Zhen Yan immediately positioned himself protectively behind his sister, following her towards the exit.

"Stop right there!!! Do I even figure as your father in your eyes?!" Mr. Zhen, seeing the assertiveness of his children, instinctively tried to impose his authority.

Hearing this, Zhen Yu couldn’t help but feel amused.

Still that same line! It hadn’t changed for a thousand years!

She hesitated for a moment, her hand on the door handle, then without turning her head, her voice cold as ice, she said, "No, there’s none of you in our eyes, nor in our hearts. Satisfied?"

"You! You," Mr. Zhen trembled with anger...

But Zhen Yu didn’t wish to engage any further and, with determination, opened the door and walked out.

Many steps away from the private room, they could still hear Mr. Zhen’s swearing.

But the siblings just went on in silence, neither making a sound at that moment.

Only upon reaching outside the restaurant, standing under the bright and sunny street, did Zhen Yan hesitatingly say, "Xiao Yu..."

Zhen Yu turned her head to him and beamed a shining smile, almost as blinding as the sun overhead, "Bro! Let’s go home and eat!"
