Chapter 292: Chapter 292 True or False First Love 92_1

Zhang Shifen was taken aback when she heard about the Zheng Family’s scandal.

The person spreading the news didn’t think she ought to know about it, well aware that their relationship wasn’t good.

Such a secretive matter is, of course, better known by as few people as possible, "Even Zhou Juan’s parents don’t know about this."

Zhang Shifen was surprised that Zhou Juan actually let the cat out of the bag, knowing that Zhou Juan had indeed gained a lot from the Zheng family through this.

But the news still broke, which meant she had completely fallen out with the Zheng family. One could easily imagine that their relationship would only worsen.

"Things are already like this, why haven’t they divorced yet?" One cannot remain silent, truly shocking even for someone like her who had weathered many storms; this wasn’t the nastiest thing by far.

"After the divorce, whom could she marry? Who would want to marry a woman who can’t have children?"

At the family dinner table, such a hot topic would naturally be discussed.

Zhou Lina could understand why Zhou Juan was reluctant to divorce, "No matter how dissatisfied the Zheng family is, what can they do to Zhou Juan?"

"Are they going to force Zhou Juan to give up her job or give her compensation?"

Zhou Lina knew that Zhou Juan wouldn’t be satisfied with just a job, there surely were other benefits. She just hadn’t expected the asking price to be so steep.

"The Zheng family shouldn’t think that just paying her off will cool her anger. She can’t be a mother, and she won’t let Zheng Weijian be a father either."

"She can’t give birth, and she won’t adopt a child."

"Just watch, the Zheng family will really regret it." Zhou Lina wasn’t worried about Zhou Juan’s safety at all.

"She’s in the Great Northwest, and she has to work in the fields; otherwise, she wouldn’t have any work points and couldn’t survive. I think she’s very strong."

"If the Zheng family doesn’t listen, Zhou Juan is likely to let loose and hit them." Although she had never seen Zhou Juan hitting anyone, she once went to the mechanical factory and happened to see Zheng Weijian, specifically noticing a bruise near his eye.

In the past, she might have cared a bit about appearances, but now, she completely disregards them. As long as she’s in a good mood, nothing else matters.

"Doesn’t that mean they’ll keep making a fuss?" Zhou Xuan remembered very firmly those who had bullied Zhou Lina in the past.

"Exactly." Whether Zhou Juan divorces or not, it’s all just endless fuss.

After discussing for a while, Zhou Lina and the others stopped talking about it. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to discuss it; the desire for gossip was still there.

The main reason was that Zhou Lina remembered she was pregnant and needed to educate her unborn child, and of course, she couldn’t let the baby hear anything unpleasant.

"I’ll read to the child." Gu Kai saw that Zhou Lina intended to read to her child and quickly offered to take over the task.

Zhou Lina was actually a bit overwhelmed by Gu Kai’s proactive behavior because the books he read were really esoteric. Hearing him read, Zhou Lina just wanted to rest properly.

"I won’t read books on mechanics today." Gu Kai picked up a book in his hand for Zhou Lina to see.

"Auntie said it’s okay to read some medical texts to the child." After all, the Gu family had a long lineage in medicine. Although he didn’t work in medicine, what if their child developed a liking for it?

Medical texts, Zhou Lina’s expression wasn’t very pleasant. Didn’t he realize there’s not much of a difference between medical and mechanical books in her eyes?

To her, both were just as incomprehensible.

But it was a suggestion from Gu Wei, so Zhou Lina could only agree to rest well, as going to work every day was indeed quite tiring.

Especially now that she was pregnant, her body tired more easily, "Let me lie down on the bed."

Since she was going to sleep, it was certainly better to rest lying down than sitting up.

Gu Kai couldn’t help but smile wryly as he watched Zhou Lina proficiently find a spot to rest, but then he looked at her stomach.

Ever since Zhou Lina got pregnant, she often received advice from Gu Wei and Zhang Shifen. They warned her that women tend to get tired more easily during pregnancy and don’t rest well enough, which deeply worried him.

Throughout the pregnancy, whether it was Gu Wei, Zhang Shifen, or even Gu Kai, they all found ways to buy things to nourish Zhou Lina.

Of course, having a doctor in the family meant that her diet was appropriately controlled so she wouldn’t become too fat from eating too much.

Zhou Juan, due to working on the streets, had seen Zhou Lina several times, and each encounter filled her with envy.

Pregnant herself once, she remembered feeling very uncomfortable and looked especially pale.

Yet looking at Zhou Lina, with her complexion so radiant and rosy, it was obvious that she was living well.

Zhou Juan touched her own face and hadn’t given up on seeing a doctor, only to face a cruel truth.

It turned out she had no chance of becoming a mother in this lifetime, and all she could do was to slowly recuperate her body.

She was full of regret, intense regret. She never thought that, just to return to the city and have a job, she would pay such a high price.

She blamed Zhang Shifen and her daughter, her own family, and of course, the Zheng Family didn’t escape her resentment either.

"Zhou Lina," Zhou Juan inhaled deeply and called out loudly to Zhou Lina, who was walking across the street.

Zhou Lina had actually seen Zhou Juan early on but had no desire to interact.

Even though she hid it well, Zhou Lina could still feel her ill intentions.

Even if she knew Zhou Juan probably wouldn’t attack a pregnant woman in public, Zhou Lina truly didn’t dare to gamble.

Zhou Juan was no longer predictable by any common sense; she could be absolutely crazy sometimes.

Zhou Juan coldly laughed when she saw Zhou Lina’s guarded demeanor, "What, you’re worried I’ll hit you?"

"I have no choice, you’ve schemed against me once, just because you wanted me to lash out so you could take over my mother’s job."

"Now that you can’t have kids, knowing I can, you’re all sorts of unhappy with me, then what if you take advantage of my lack of attention and attack me, what then?"

Zhou Juan often boldly broadcast the Zheng Family’s schemes against her, and naturally, Zhou Lina learned from her.

Zhou Juan was really angry at Zhou Lina’s words, "I, I..."

"Don’t say it didn’t happen, I filed a report, and there’s a record. You also said I think too badly of you."

"I have no choice, I’m pregnant now, I can’t afford not to be cautious. Otherwise, if something happened, neither the child nor I could bear it."

Huh, discussing such matters wasn’t embarrassing for her, rather it was Zhou Juan who would be ashamed.

She worked in the community, and if people knew what she had done, wouldn’t they be displeased with her?

Wouldn’t the Zheng Family people want to restore their reputation and retaliate somehow?

Zhou Lina just watched Zhou Juan with eyes that followed her every move, causing the latter to lose her nerve.

"I was just saying hello, you’re overthinking it," Zhou Juan quickly and quietly left.

Otherwise, she really didn’t know what Zhou Lina would say next. Zhou Juan, having moved a distance away, couldn’t help but exhale a long breath, "I’m such an idiot."

She had actually forgotten that Zhou Lina really wasn’t a kind person. As long as you upset her, she wouldn’t hesitate to exact her vengeance.

How could she be so stupid, thinking about confronting her was truly seeking death.
