Chapter 331: Chapter 330: Justifying One’s Stance

"You’ve known for a while?!" "Yeah."

"You! You knew and didn’t tell me?!" Getting affirmative answer from her sister, Zhen Yan’s eyes turned red with fury!

His fists clenched, but he didn’t know where to swing them! Truly! There’s nothing he can do about his sister!

She knew perfectly well that he liked Gu Qing, yet she didn’t tell him about the matter between his mother and Uncle Gu!

If the two adults get together, what about him? What about him and Gu Qing?!!

"There’s not even a hint of it yet, what is there for me to tell you?" Zhen Yu said calmly: "It was just a private meeting, why are you so worked up?!"

"How can I not be worked up! That’s Uncle Gu! Uncle Gu!" Zhen Yan emphasized, staring into his sister’s eyes.

"What’s wrong with Uncle Gu? Better someone we know than a stranger! They know each other a bit, so you don’t need to worry, our mom should be fine with him."

"I’m not worried about our mom!!" Zhen Yan blurted out!

Seeing that his sister still didn’t get his point, Zhen Yan simply laid it out: "That’s Gu Qing’s dad! Do you understand?"

Zhen Yu’s eyes rolled around, and she also laid it out straightforwardly: "Gu Qing likes Lu Huai! Do you understand?"

Zhen Yan: "..."

He didn’t understand! He didn’t want to understand!

"Zhen Yan! I’m warning you! Bury all your grievances inside! Even if she likes you too, Mom and Uncle Gu have no reason to give way for the two of you!"

Zhen Yan was shocked back to his senses by his sister’s stern tone, and stammered: "I,"

"You and Gu Qing are just too young! It will be at least a decade before you can get married! Of course, that’s assuming you can catch up to her!"

Zhen Yan’s face turned red, and Zhen Yu’s serious expression relaxed a bit as she coaxed her brother: "Don’t be too old-fashioned!! Even if our mom remarries Uncle Gu, it won’t stop you from pursuing Gu Qing! Whether or not you can be with her is entirely up to you!"

After a while, Zhen Yan tentatively asked, "Really? Really?"

"Believe it or not." Zhen Yu rolled her eyes and ignored him again.

Perhaps because she had already been caught by her son, after lunch, Mrs. Zhen brought her children upstairs directly.

Her personality was not one to beat around the bush, so after hesitating for a moment, she bluntly started, "Xiao Yan! Xiao Yu! Mom... has something to consult with you two."

Zhen Yan remained silent.

Zhen Yu asked softly, "About you and Uncle Gu?"

Mrs. Zhen lowered her head and stayed silent for a moment before looking up seriously, "What do you think of Uncle Gu?"

Zhen Yan still remained silent.

Zhen Yu pondered for a while and commented, "His character is not bad, it’s just..."

"Just what?" Mrs. Zhen curiously pursued.

With an expression that read ’you asked me, so I’m telling you,’ Zhen Yu said, "It’s just that he’s a bit ugly!"

"Pfft," Zhen Yan immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth but still couldn’t help but emit intermittent snickers.

Mrs. Zhen’s face was covered with metaphorical black lines, her mouth twitching uncontrollably; her daughter’s words were so venomous!

"Stop laughing!" Mrs. Zhen glared at her son disapprovingly, "What do both of you really think? Give Mom a straight answer!"

"Why don’t you first tell us what you and Uncle Gu are thinking?" Zhen Yu took over the conversation, throwing the ball back to her mother.

Mrs. Zhen was straightforward, "Your Uncle Gu’s idea is for our families to join as one and after getting the marriage certificate, live together rightfully and properly."

Zhen Yu nodded, "I have no objections."

Kudos to Old Gu for recognizing the situation! He didn’t intend to continue muddling along with Mrs. Zhen ambiguously.

"I have no objections either!" Zhen Yan immediately echoed his sister, "As long as he treats you well, it’s all good!"

Zhen Yu didn’t want to dwell on her mother’s love life, she valued more practical things, "What about Gu Qing’s mother? Did she divorce Old Gu?"

Zhen Yu, who had watched plenty of TV dramas in her later years, clearly understood that ex-wives could be far more troublesome than ex-husbands!

"No!" Mrs. Zhen shook her head, "Gu Qing’s mother passed away when she was in elementary school, Old Gu said it was a car accident."

"A car accident," Zhen Yu repeated, but didn’t take it to heart. Old Gu had passed her first hurdle, at least.

After inquiring about the person, naturally, it was time to ask about money. "What did he say about the businesses of both families?"

"Each to their own!" Upon hearing her daughter bring up business affairs, Mrs. Zhen couldn’t help but let a hint of a smile appear at the corner of her mouth.

"Your Uncle Gu said so! He has only one daughter, whatever the restaurant makes, it all goes to Gu Qing! It’s the same with our family, no matter how much money Mom makes, it’s for you, brother and sister!"

Zhen Yu smiled, finding him to be a clear-headed person.

"In that case, when my brother turns eighteen next April, let’s change the legal representative of the arcade to his name!"

Mrs. Zhen nodded, hesitating for quite a while before looking at her daughter and asking, "Should we change the name of this house too? I’m worried Old Gu... might feel uncomfortable..."

Zhen Yan also looked at his sister.

As a high school student, he only knew what was illegal but had no clue about the laws related to marriage and property.

"Don’t change the house’s name! This house belongs to you! Our arcade is making so much money, we can buy more houses next year or the year after! Then we can put them in Zhen Yan’s name!"

Mrs. Zhen gradually broke into a smile, "Sure! Mom will definitely buy each of you a house!"

The family of three exchanged smiles, understanding each other without words.

"By the way! Xiao Yu, hurry up and get dressed, we still need to visit the traditional Chinese doctor this afternoon!"

"Ah!" Zhen Yu sighed despondently, collapsing onto the bed, unwilling to get up.

"Get moving! The sooner you’re treated, the sooner you’re relieved! For a young lady like you, having irregular periods, how will you have children in the future!"

Upon hearing their mother mention this topic, Zhen Yan swiftly slipped back to his own room as if his feet were greased.

"I know." At the second urging from her mother, Zhen Yu reluctantly got out of bed, put on her pants and jacket, no matter how unwilling.

She wouldn’t dare to retort when she knew she was on the losing end of the argument, fearing a single disrespectful word would bring a torrent of scolding from her mother.

Fully dressed, Zhen Yu obediently accompanied her mother to take a taxi to the Chinese medicine clinic.

After another round of inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, the old Chinese doctor shook his head, "You can only gradually adjust with medication, follow the previous prescription and continue until your menstrual cycle shortens."

"Doctor, isn’t there some kind of pill? Drinking Chinese medicine every day is too bitter!" Zhen Yu, no longer willing to endure, blurted out a question.

"No!" The old doctor stated firmly: "This Chinese medicine is tailored to your pulse, where are there any ready-made pills? They all need to be freshly prepared!"

Mrs. Zhen gently slapped her daughter under the table but smiled and said, "Alright, alright! We understand. Even if it’s bitter, it’s for the best! Isn’t there a saying that good medicine tastes bitter but is beneficial to diseases?"

"Exactly! That’s the spirit, mother gets it!" The old doctor turned to Zhen Yu, "How could it cure if it’s not bitter?!"

"Heh heh." Faced with the doctor’s questioning, Zhen Yu could only respond with an awkward, forced smile.
