Chapter 337: Chapter 336: The Body is Most Important

Mrs. Zhen quietly calculated the days after hearing Gu’s father’s words. When she stood up, she was almost sure.

"Ah... It must be so." Mrs. Zhen’s body was still in discomfort, her reaction somewhat calm, but inside she was anything but!

She was of such an age! How shameful it would be to have a child at this stage of her life! But now that she was pregnant, she had no choice but to set her old pride aside and go through with it...

It was all Old Gu’s fault! The first time, he insisted on saying things like "It’s fate! It’s predetermined by heaven! If they didn’t conceive on the wedding night, it meant he was destined to have only one daughter! At least give him a chance..."

"Really, really???" Gu’s father’s eyes, deep in their sockets, were wide with surprise!

"Fake!" Mrs. Zhen complained unhappily: "How am I supposed to explain this to the three kids!!!"

"I’ll tell them! Don’t worry!" Gu’s father boastfully patted his chest, making it sound like thunder!

Then he immediately switched to a nervous expression, "You should go rest! I’ve told you not to go into the kitchen anymore! You never listen! Now, don’t go in there anymore! If you need anything, just shout for me from outside the door!"

Mrs. Zhen felt appreciated and smiled, "I know! I’ll go rinse my mouth first, it really doesn’t feel good!"

"Go on, go on!" Gu’s father cheerfully saw her to the door, and his laughter didn’t stop even as Mrs. Zhen went into the bathroom.

Gu’s father was in a good mood and specially made two extra dishes for lunch. Once everyone had almost finished eating, he coughed to signal that he had something to say!

At first, Zhen Yu didn’t pay much attention, and both Zhen Yan and Gu Qing weren’t very concerned either.

The kids all thought that Gu’s father was just going to say some pleasantries for the New Year.

But Gu’s father’s first sentence stunned all three of them!

"Next year at this time, you’ll all be older brothers and sisters!"

"What?" The same words, different tones, truly reflected the three different emotions of the three people.

Gu Qing’s surprise was obvious and undeniable; she didn’t wait for an answer after asking and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "I’m going to have a little brother! I’m going to have the most beautiful little brother!"

Zhen Yan’s face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot! Seeing Gu Qing’s excitement, he couldn’t feel happy at all.

Before today, he naively thought what his sister said was correct - that he and Gu Qing had no blood relation, so what did it matter if their parents remarried?

But! If he and she were to have a common younger sister or brother...

"I’m going to the bathroom!" Zhen Yan stiffly threw down these words and quickly left the table.

Zhen Yu’s brows were tightly knitted, clearly caught off guard by this news!

After their mother’s second marriage, she and her daughter had never discussed this topic, but Zhen Yu could feel that her mother had no intention of having another child!

Could this be an accident?

Her brother had obviously left upset; even considering her mother’s marriage, she, as one of Mrs. Zhen’s children, also had to stand up and make her stance clear.

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and decided to have a proper talk with her mother and stepfather!

"It seems you have already decided to have the baby."

"Yes!" Gu’s father nodded vigorously, "Xiao Yu, your brother,"

"No need to worry about him!" Zhen Yu interrupted her stepfather, "Let’s talk about the two of you, no, the three of you!"

"Xiao Yu..." Mrs. Zhen saw her daughter’s serious face and suddenly felt a surge of unease! Her son was already angry, could it be that her daughter wouldn’t agree either?!

Zhen Yu offered her mother a reassuring smile, then turned to her stepfather, "As a junior, I shouldn’t interfere with any decisions you adults make."

Such an opening statement directly caused Gu’s father’s heart to sink.

The smile on his face slowly vanished, "Xiao Yu, you too,"

Gu Qing was incredibly nervous, clutching the corner of her clothes, and dared not make a sound as she sat next to Zhen Yu.

She knew that Zhen Yu did not agree. But her stepmother was already pregnant with their brother! Did she really want to abandon him?

"Let me finish speaking!" Zhen Yu interrupted Gu’s father again! "I only have one demand, and that is to prioritize my mom’s health above all!"

"I am quite well..." Mrs. Zhen began to speak weakly, only to close her mouth under her daughter’s stare.

"Uncle Gu, did you understand what I said?"

"I understand." Gu’s father nodded, his mood not as bright as at the beginning, but he also let out a sigh of relief. "Don’t worry! I will take good care of your mother and make sure nothing happens to her!"

It’s great to talk with adults; as long as the point is clear, that’s all that matters!

Seeing that no one else was speaking, Gu Qing thought for a moment, mustered her courage, and asked, "Zhen Yu, have you agreed to keep the baby brother?!"

Zhen Yu nodded, and to prevent Gu’s father from getting too hopeful, she added another sentence, "It might be a sister though!"

"I like sisters too! Right, Daddy?!"

Gu’s father immediately nodded, "Yeah! Either is fine!"

Mrs. Zhen quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately remembered her son with a heavy heart, and couldn’t help but seek her daughter’s help, "Xiao Yu, your brother, he,"

"I’ll handle it, you all don’t interfere!" Zhen Yu assumed responsibility decisively.

Gu’s father hesitated for a moment, then after catching a glance from Mrs. Zhen, he said, "Alright! Help your uncle persuade him!"

"Mm!"

---

"Brother."

After using the bathroom, Zhen Yan locked himself straight away in Zhen Yu’s room at the wonton restaurant.

Zhen Yu found him without any difficulty.

"Xiao Yu." Zhen Yan looked dejectedly at his sister, "Why?"

The question from Zhen Yan took Zhen Yu aback.

Just three simple words, but they contained so much helplessness!

Zhen Yu didn’t know how to answer her brother, so she decided to approach it from a different angle!

"Brother! You saw it yourself last time at the karaoke bar, Gu Qing has no room for you in her heart or her eyes! It’s time to let go when you should!"

Zhen Yan looked even more despondent, "I know she doesn’t like me, but I just can’t help wanting to see her!"

"You," Zhen Yu really didn’t know how to comfort people, so she simply spoke bluntly whatever came to mind! "If she liked you, no matter how many problems there were, they wouldn’t matter! The key is she doesn’t like you! What’s the point of clinging to the issue with mom and Uncle Gu?! It’s just a waste of effort!"

"... I," brother’s words made sense in Zhen Yan’s heart, but he couldn’t help but naively hope that without these entanglements, maybe... just maybe he’d have a chance...

"No matter whether you can let go or not, you shouldn’t look for reasons in others! Our mom is pregnant now, and the child inside her is our family! It’s the New Year, go down in a bit and tell mom that you welcome the arrival of this child! Do you hear me?!"

Zhen Yan was silent for a while, then replied softly, "I understand."

Seeing that he agreed, Zhen Yu didn’t say anything more. She got up and left the room, leaving her brother alone to think things through, cool down, which would also be good.
