"You’re just too naive!" Zhen Yu said bluntly. Zhen Yan scratched his head, "So what do we do now?!" "Why are you asking me?" Zhen Yu continued reading her book, dismissing her brother with, "I never agreed to lend money! And he wasn’t here to see me!" Zhen Yan really wanted to retort, ’How could he not be here to see you!’, to his sister! But as an older brother, he felt he could still salvage the situation! So Zhen Yan sniffled and, resigned to his fate, went downstairs. It wasn’t until her brother’s figure disappeared from the corner of Zhen Yu’s eye that she looked up towards the door and breathed a sigh of relief. "That brat! Finally showing some responsibility!" That ’brat’ she referred to was now downstairs in the dining room, having a tense confrontation with his biological father! "Move aside! I’ll go up and talk to her myself!" Mr. Zhen said with a face ashen with anger. As soon as his son left, Mr. Zhen’s eyelid began to twitch, feeling suddenly that this visit was going to be a disaster—and indeed it was! Zhen Yu, that damned girl, probably said something to this silly boy! Zhen Yan refused him the moment he went downstairs, and his attitude was very firm! "I won’t let you! Just leave! We don’t have money to lend you!" Zhen Yan was even half a head taller than his father, he blocked the doorway, and Mr. Zhen really couldn’t leave the dining room! "What exactly did your sister say to you?! Did she instigate you not to lend me the money!?" Mr. Zhen angrily retorted. "My sister didn’t say anything!" Zhen Yan quickly countered, "I found out on the computer myself! That cerebral palsy simply can’t be cured! No matter how much money you borrow, it’s useless!" Mr. Zhen’s heart was pierced again by his eldest son, but he still tried to appeal to Zhen Yan’s emotions! After all, borrowing money was the first step... "That’s my own son! Your own little brother! Even if it can’t be cured, we can’t just not treat him, right?!" Many thoughts sprung up in Zhen Yan’s mind! Good, evil, paternal, selfish, bizarre, countless. "Whether he’s your own son I don’t know! He’s definitely not my own brother!" "That kid is quite pitiable, it’s not really nice not to treat him..." "He has his own father and mother! If they want to treat, let them treat! What do you mean ’we’? What is this ’we’? What does he have to do with me and my sister!" "He isn’t without money for treatment! You can’t just watch him die," "The internet says it too! This disease isn’t fatal! Treated or not, it’s all the same! Any money you lend is just water off a duck’s back..." Zhen Yan’s expression kept changing, and Mr. Zhen, afraid that he had made up his mind not to lend the money, quickly overplayed his part! "Xiao Yan! Zhen Yan! You can’t write two Zhen characters differently, you and your brother share the surname Zhen! Dad loves you both the same..." Mr. Zhen wouldn’t have been worse off not saying ’the same’, as soon as he did, Zhen Yan exploded! "The same my ass! It’s practically the opposite! How long have you not given me and my sister living expenses, don’t you have any idea?!" Mr. Zhen didn’t expect another pitfall here, he paused before saying, "Err, dad here, I mean," "Forget it, you don’t need to say anything! My sister and I can support ourselves! We don’t need your little bit of living expenses! But also, stop asking us for money! Just go!" At the end of his speech, Zhen Yan moved aside from the door of the dining room. Watching his son’s resolute eyes, Mr. Zhen realized that today he truly wouldn’t listen to any more persuasions! So, he just took a deep breath and decided to plan for the long term. After a while, Mr. Zhen’s figure slowly disappeared at the entrance of the internet cafe. Zhen Yan stood at the doorway of the dining room feeling melancholy for a while, then suddenly remembered about his mother ’being bedridden’, and quickly hurried back upstairs. Zhen Yu just quietly looked at her brother, not saying a word. "Little sister, mom is sick! Uncle Gu said it’s something like a threatened miscarriage!" Zhen Yan spoke hastily. Zhen Yu immediately sat up straight, "Where is she?" Zhen Yan felt a bit guilty, "Dad was with her, so I didn’t ask much! She’s either at the wonton restaurant or at the new house!" Zhen Yu quickly put on her shoes and got up, "I’ll get ready, and we’ll both go and see!" "Alright! I’ll wait for you on the first floor!" Zhen Yan closed the door for his sister and went downstairs to wait. As soon as the siblings entered the wonton restaurant, Zhen Yan and Xiao Gu exchanged looks. Zhen Yan’s eyes were full of disdain for the little man, while Xiao Gu pretended to be calm but was actually nervous. Zhen Yu nodded to Xiao Gu and got straight to the point: "Is my mom here? I heard she’s sick, so I came to see her." Zhen Yu’s tone was as usual, so Xiao Gu also calmly replied, "Aunt Cheng is at the new house!" "Alright, then we won’t bother you anymore. We’ll go there and see." Zhen Yu nodded again and turned to leave. Xiao Gu was half a beat slow and then said politely out of habit, "Take it easy! I won’t see you out." Upon hearing this, Zhen Yan suddenly turned around and said coldly, "Try seeing us out again!" "What’s going on?" As soon as they were on the street, Zhen Yu asked. Zhen Yan got angry just by mentioning it! "Previously, dad and I came to look for mom, and after we left the wonton restaurant, we stood in front of the door for a while! Guess what? Xiao Gu was actually peeking from behind the door! He might have even eavesdropped!" Zhen Yu said sarcastically, "Very normal." Zhen Yan looked at his sister a few times, but eventually, he did not repeat his guess that ’he might not be father’s biological son’ to his sister! Because that would be too embarrassing! Mrs. Zhen now lives in a place that the siblings have only visited once! It was just shortly after Gu’s father brought his ’family’ to visit when that house was freshly bought. Don’t even mention that it’s been a long time since, even if they had just been there yesterday, Zhen Yu might not be able to find it! Because she is especially bad at remembering roads, and whenever she steps out of the area where she lives all year round, she gets lost! If you want Zhen Yu to remember a route, the short ones require her to walk at least three to five times! For longer ones... you’d need at least ten to twenty times, and that too without too many turns or too many branching paths! Of course, taking a taxi or bus doesn’t have these problems! Because all Zhen Yu needs to know is where the destination is, she doesn’t need to care about how the vehicle gets there on the road! Fortunately, Zhen Yan is just the opposite of his sister! Not only does he have a great sense of direction but once he has walked a road, it’s as if it’s etched in his brain, and he never forgets! Truly a waste not to be a tour guide... Under Zhen Yan’s lead, within a short while, the siblings were standing in front of a blue-green security door on the second floor. "Is this the place?" Zhen Yu confirmed with her brother. Zhen Yu raised her hand to knock on the door.
