The world of adults is always exceptionally cruel! Zhen Yu could harden her heart and force her own mother out of the business of the internet cafe, yet she didn’t want her brother to understand this yet! After all, he’s just a teenager! Whether it’s letting him know that his own mother shows favoritism against her family, inviting trouble into the home, or letting him know that his own sister has wrested the financial control from their mother, and plans to split from her—both are painful blows to him! In order to prevent her mother from actually asking ’Why should the money be deposited into Zhen Yan’s account?’, Zhen Yu suddenly changed the subject: "Mom! You know your own age! If you keep going , are you really not planning to keep the baby in your belly?!" Mrs. Zhen was startled and sharply lifted her head to look at her daughter! At this moment, she suddenly realized that Zhen Yu has never referred to the child in her belly as brother or sister! Whenever mentioned, it was always referred to simply as ’the child’. She... That’s right! Zhen Yan was the same! Could it be that he also... "Do you two not welcome this child..." Mrs. Zhen pondered, and these words unconsciously slipped out. The room suddenly fell silent. Zhen Yan didn’t quite understand, just now they were clearly talking about the internet cafe, how could it suddenly switch to the child? Although he indeed did not welcome the child, he still didn’t confess as he feared upsetting his mother. He was at least aware of that! Zhen Yu hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth. "Yes! My brother and I agreed to your second marriage only because you lacked a partner! But clearly, you do not lack children, so my brother and I cannot understand why you want to have another! However, whether to have the child is your freedom, we may dislike it, but we have no right to interfere with your decision! If you like it yourself, then it’s fine, do not force the rest." Zhen Yan’s eyes widened, mouth agape! He didn’t understand what his sister was thinking! How could she just spill all her heartfelt thoughts! Zhen Yu gave her brother a reassuring smile, signaling him to be at ease. She felt it was better to clarify their stance while her mother was still early in her pregnancy. Otherwise, her mother might keep having expectations of her and her brother! In that case, when the child is born, if she and her brother cannot feign care and love, it would only make their mother sadder! Isn’t there a saying? The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment! "I understand..." Mrs. Zhen’s tone was not very good. Zhen Yu gave her brother a look, signaling him to go downstairs first. Zhen Yan didn’t really want to leave. Seeing this, Zhen Yu fiercely raised her eyebrows! Her eyes also became stern! Only then did he bow his head and scurried out. Mrs. Zhen understood the unspoken communication between her children, but she just quietly observed and did not stop them. She just wanted to know what else her daughter wanted to say to her privately! "Mom! You should understand my meaning. The Zhen Family’s business absolutely does not allow anyone outside of the three Zhen family members to get involved!" "Yes, I understand," Mrs. Zhen fell silent for a while before she responded: "Since you have already arranged everything, let’s do as you say!" Actually, when Gu’s father proposed to "help," Mrs. Zhen hesitated as well. But she couldn’t resist Gu’s father’s sincerity! He considered everything for her! She thought that it was only for a year or so, and they were already a family. Even if Gu’s father did it for the sake of appearance, he wouldn’t take too much advantage! So, in the end, she nodded and agreed. Now it turned out to be a trouble! She even needed to speak up and refuse. This was truly, "sigh..." Mrs. Zhen felt weary. Hearing Mrs. Zhen’s sigh, Zhen Yu momentarily softened her heart, but quickly regained her composure. "The snack counter and book rental need your help for another half month. During this time, I will install the inventory and book management software and put them into use as soon as possible! Wait until April 1st when my brother has his birthday, then you can rest easy and prepare for childbirth! On that day, I will ask him to take a half-day off, and go with you to transfer the legal status of the Internet Cafe!" "Xiao Yu! You are," Mrs. Zhen faintly sensed something was off. "Mom!" Zhen Yu interrupted Mrs. Zhen’s words, "I’ll ’hand over’ the takeout business to you!" Mrs. Zhen was stunned. "Starting tomorrow, I will let Zhang San and Li Si notify the members one by one! After the balance on their cards is used up, recharging will only provide a genuine Sincere membership card! It can only be used at the Sincere Internet Cafe!" Mrs. Zhen stood up in shock, "What do you mean?" Zhen Yu ignored her mother’s reaction and calmly continued, "I have prepared a business plan for you! From April, you can expand the takeout business! Negotiate with other restaurants, expand the delivery team, extend the delivery range from campuses to malls, shops, and various enterprises! These are good ways to increase commissions." Mrs. Zhen’s expression changed and she sat down again, silently listening. Zhen Yuxin didn’t know how to feel inside, but her face showed nothing. "Mom! Currently, we only have Uncle Gu’s restaurant, and you know best how much we earn from takeout each month. It’s absolutely enough to support a good life for you!" "Are you trying to break away from me?!" Mrs. Zhen, having run the business by herself for so long, had also learned to maintain her composure. Her face, expression unflinching, bore a look that was hard to read as happy or angry. Zhen Yu nodded, then shook her head, "Yes! And no!" "What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Zhen’s expression cracked slightly. "Now you are not only my mom! You are also Uncle Gu’s lawful wife! I don’t need to explain the concept of marital joint property to you a second time, do I?" After hearing these words, Mrs. Zhen’s expression flickered as if the video she was watching was buffering, and it took her a long time to stabilize, resting on forbearance. "Mom understands... I get your concerns! Let’s do it your way!" Actually, Zhen Yu could have ended the discussion at this point, but she didn’t! Instead, she hardened her heart and continued, "I’ll bring you the takeout business plan tomorrow! I know you may not want to hear what I have to say, but I have to say it! You’d better not show the business plan to ’other people.’ If you’re too busy, you’d better hire someone to help, not," "Enough Xiao Yu, stop talking!" Mrs. Zhen interrupted her daughter, "Since you’re handing over the takeout business to me, you don’t need to worry about it! Just like... I won’t interfere with the Internet Cafe anymore either!" To say it didn’t hurt would be a lie! But these issues were but minor troubles compared to Zhen Yu’s experiences in her previous life. "It’s late, I’m going downstairs first. We can talk about other matters tomorrow!" Mrs. Zhen was momentarily stunned, and Zhen Yu had already gone downstairs. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhen closed her mouth, not calling after her daughter. Because she was now feeling uneasy and had no intention to continue discussing.
