Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl
Chapter 355 - 354 Iron Heart

Chapter 355: Chapter 354 Iron Heart

"Do you have anything you need after all, senior?" Zhen Yu asked, full of hope.

He Baihe: "... I temporarily don’t have any needs. I’m sorry! I really don’t know what things from the nineties I would need. Maybe you can help me think about it?!"

"... I’ll think about it and get back to you then! I have a class now, gotta hang up."

He Baihe: "Alright then! Let’s talk again tonight!"

It’s not true if I said I wasn’t disappointed, but... forget it! Let’s just think of ways to earn ability points and then worry about getting stuff from others!

Zhen Yu said she had to go to class, but it was actually just an excuse.

Using the desk hole as a cover, she took out three software CDs from the space. She looked at them back and forth. Both the producing company and the software names were all unfamiliar to Zhen Yu.

She couldn’t tell much just by looking at them; she could only wait until the evening to try installing them on a computer!

Just that, she still didn’t know how many people would be staying up late tonight!

"Ah..." After Zhen Yu put the software back into the space, she slumped her shoulders and sighed deeply.

"What are you sighing about so late at night?" Lu Huai, who happened to walk to his seat nearby, heard Zhen Yu’s sigh and asked in surprise.

Zhen Yu didn’t speak.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to say anything, but she didn’t know what to say.

——

In the past, the three members of the Zhen Family used to work together with one heart and one effort!

Even with numerous affairs both inside and outside the home, Zhen Yu never felt tired! Instead, she felt full of motivation!

But later on, her brother fell for Gu Qing.

Some words, especially her opinion about Gu Qing, Zhen Yu then felt it inappropriate to mention to her brother.

To the extent that Zhen Yan’s subjects are now so unevenly neglected! Could he say there was no ’merit’ from his secret love?!

Then Mrs. Zhen remarried.

Zhen Yu initially thought it was a good thing, feeling that Mrs. Zhen had someone to rely on for the rest of her life, thinking that Gu’s father was a sensible man!

Yet, within two months, Mrs. Zhen became pregnant!

It was truly urgent!!

Zhen Yu didn’t want to delve into whether it was Mrs. Zhen’s voluntary wish or a scheme by Gu’s father.

After all, the thing had already happened, and looking back to find the reasons was too late to change the fact.

But still! Yet still!

Zhen Yu thought, her brother Zhen Yan was quite important in Mrs. Zhen’s eyes!

Yet! Ha!

She never expected that Mrs. Zhen would be so quickly persuaded by Gu’s father to buy a house! Buy it for the child in her belly!

At that time, Zhen Yu really wanted to question Mrs. Zhen! Did she still remember what she had personally told her when she agreed to her remarrying?!

Having money, instead of buying a house for Zhen Yan, the eldest son first, she decided to buy it for the unborn child!

Therefore, Zhen Yu decisively asked Mrs. Zhen to change the ownership of the shop.

She may have been reborn, but she was not made of iron! She could be tired, she just didn’t say it.

She could fight with her life, that was to make her and her family’s life better! But it was definitely not for making wedding dresses for others!

Don’t look at how calm and light Zhen Yu appeared at the time; in fact, she had already swept through like a whirlwind, eliminating Gu’s father from the ’family review lineup’! And simultaneously removed included Gu Qing and the child in Mrs. Zhen’s belly!

Even Mrs. Zhen, had been coldly relegated by Zhen Yu to a ’subject for evaluation’.

Yes! She was just that stone-hearted!

——

That’s because! With the painful lessons from her past life, Zhen Yu understood her mother’s character all too well!

Mrs. Zhen is a traditional housewife through and through!

Placing her husband first, valuing mothers by their sons, only by having a son could she secure her position in her husband’s family; these outdated and backward customs were all present in her thinking! That’s why in her past life, she drank pesticide when she lost her son and was driven to irrationality by her husband’s accusations! Because at that moment, her world collapsed...

But when she was pouring the pesticide into her mouth, why didn’t she think! How would her daughter who had just graduated from elementary school survive?!

In her previous life, Zhen Yu had dreamed countless times, seeking an answer from Mrs. Zhen before her death.

"To you, what am I, your daughter? A free gift?"

But each time, she never got an answer from Mrs. Zhen herself. Either the person was dead, or the dream ended...

——

Don’t be fooled by how Mrs. Zhen seems to prioritize Zhen Yu in this life. In fact, it was because, after divorcing Mr. Zhen, she could only rely on Zhen Yu!

If Zhen Yan could stand up on his own! If Zhen Yan didn’t always yield to his sister but instead constantly argued with Zhen Yu!

Mrs. Zhen would absolutely side with her son, not her daughter!

That is Mrs. Zhen, seen through clearly by Zhen Yu like an X-ray!

Now, Mrs. Zhen has found a new sky for herself!

To secure her footing in the Gu Family’s territory, her desire to have another son is perfectly normal!

To prioritize her husband’s opinions before all else, is also perfectly normal!

Zhen Yu can endure for now, until Mrs. Zhen gives birth to this child.

Zhen Yu can also step back a little, to save some face for the father and daughter of the Gu Family.

But this apparent peace will one day be broken! Which side will Mrs. Zhen stand on then?

The new husband? Or the old son? Or perhaps the new husband and a new son...

It’s clearly a highly troubling scenario, so why does Zhen Yu feel a bit hopeful thinking about it at this moment?

"I really am ungrateful and cold-hearted!"

Zhen Yu labeled herself thus in her heart.

——

Seeing Zhen Yu deep in thought and silent for a long time, Lu Huai quietly took his seat without disturbing her.

The scene of Zhen Yu struggling to keep her eyes open this morning seemed still to be swaying before him; even though Lu Huai might be naive, he understood that something was troubling Zhen Yu. She was either busy or exhausted.

Ding-dong-ding—

As the class bell rang, Lu Huai had no choice but to nudge Zhen Yu gently, whispering, "Hey! Class is starting! Think about it after class!"

"Ah? Oh!" Zhen Yu dazedly turned her head and suddenly had a flash of insight when she saw Lu Huai, "Hey! What do you think is most valuable now? Or, what could still be valuable after ten or eight years?"

"Valuable?" Lu Huai was also a peculiar thinker, "Gold and silver treasures? These things are always valuable! Why do you ask?"

"Gold and silver treasures... The problem is, I can’t afford them!" Zhen Yu said annoyed, "Can’t you think of something cheaper?"

"Hey, you! How can something valuable be cheap? How can something cheap be valuable?" Lu Huai felt, these were simply contradictions!

"How can it not be possible! Weren’t those antiques cheap stuff back in the day! Later, shh! What do you think now will appreciate in value in ten years?"

Lu Huai rolled his eyes, trying to guess, "Eating, wearing, living, commuting; food and clothes won’t work, houses? Cars? Furniture?"

Zhen Yu was completely speechless, "...Never mind, forget I asked! Okay?"

Asking others was not as good as asking oneself!

"Tsk!"
