"Help Jiaoyang transfer schools?" Zhen Yu repeated Han Mingyue’s words. "Uh-huh! It would be best if he could get into the Affiliated School! If he can’t pass the entrance exam, then he’ll have to go to an ordinary middle school." "At that time," Zhen Yu began, with only three words, her tone suddenly sank. "The procedures for my school transfer were handled by my mom, but I guess it was just some stuff like student records and household registration! The Affiliated School isn’t far away; I can find time to go with you and ask." "Okay." Han Mingyue nodded, not continuing the topic, letting silence hang in the air for a while. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel{f}ire.net Mingyue had not missed the fleeting desolation on Zhen Yu’s face just now. He organized his thoughts in his heart, then slowly began to speak. "Xiao Yu, maybe I should find time to talk to Aunt Cheng! After all, you two are biological mother and daughter, it’s not good... to keep this standoff going." "No need." Zhen Yu quickly objected, her soft voice instantly scattered by the night wind. "Otherwise, let me arrange a time to meet with Aunt Cheng. You can talk to her alone?!" But Zhen Yu suddenly shook her head firmly: "No need! I don’t want to see her anymore!" "Why?" Han Mingyue asked in confusion: "Even if the Gu Family is at fault, but Aunt Cheng, she—" "Do you think she’s without fault?" After posing the question, Zhen Yu actually laughed first, "Heh..." "At first, I thought the same as you..." Han Mingyue looked inquisitively at Zhen Yu: "??" "But what happened later made me fully understand!" "People often say that one who is pitiable has something hateful about them! Why don’t you guess, what is hateful about her?" Upon hearing this, Han Mingyue immediately plunged into reflection. Those bits and pieces that Zhen Yu had mentioned on the phone, along with some facts he had witnessed himself, which he had never analyzed in detail before! Now, pondering carefully, he immediately started to catch the drift! "She was fully aware of the Gu Family’s plans!" Zhen Yu said resolutely! Hearing Zhen Yu say this, Han Mingyue’s heart immediately sank! "How did you figure it out? Was it because of Aunt Gu Qing’s reaction when she heard that the property was under Zhen Yan’s name?" "Not entirely! There’s also her crying that day! She had never cried before in so many arguments!" "Crying?" Han Mingyue frowned. "Yeah! Why do you think she cried?! There was a sudden trace of a mocking smile on Zhen Yu’s face, "Because Zhen Yan’s parting words to her changed! He didn’t say ’come back after the divorce and I’ll take care of you’ anymore!" "How could she not be? If the Gu Family found out her deception and kicked her out, and her son, who got all the property, refused to take her in, she’d really be at a loss." Han Mingyue fell silent for a moment before saying: "I’ve always found it strange, the house and shop are in Zhen Yan’s name, the Gu Family had no chance to fight for them! Yet they attacked you again and again! Now I understand, they must have been misled!" Han Mingyue said this and suddenly turned to look at Zhen Yu! "They must all think the property is in your hands! That’s why they think there’s still a chance to fight for it!" Zhen Yu nodded, "That’s right! I’m normally so assertive; they’d naturally prefer to believe that I’m the miser!" "But why would Aunt Cheng deceive them?" Han Mingyue, being a boy and not having so many tricks up his sleeve, couldn’t understand why Mrs. Zhen would do such a thing to her daughter. Zhen Yu, however, had a clear understanding of it! She explained to him: "She probably wants to please both sides! She definitely wants to transfer all the property to her own biological son! But she doesn’t want to be the one blamed! So... I’m the ready-made scapegoat!" He somehow understood it without any explanation! Zhen Yu said calmly: "I don’t know what she’s thinking, but the facts are clear! The more people fight for it, the less I dare to touch the internet café and the house! The Gu Family’s ruckus forced me to let go completely! In the end, all the family assets naturally ended up belonging solely to Zhen Yan!" Han Mingyue felt a sudden understanding! Then she looked sympathetically towards Zhen Yu. "No wonder she agreed so easily to transfer the house and shop to Zhen Yan!" Zhen Yu gave Han Mingyue a reassuring smile and shook her head, indicating that she didn’t care about those things anymore. "Perhaps she had been waiting for me to bring it up all along!" Zhen Yu took a deep breath, then let it out long and slow. "Ah! Huh... Indeed, such is the Old Cheng Family’s way! Sons are treasures; daughters are just grass in the field!" Han Mingyue suddenly stretched out her hand to embrace Zhen Yu’s shoulders and pulled her into her arms. After gently kissing the top of her head, she rubbed Zhen Yu’s hair with her chin and whispered, "Xiao Yu, I will never treat you the way she does!" Zhen Yu leaned into Han Mingyue’s embrace, closed her eyes, and hummed an acknowledgment through her nose, "Hmm!" In my past life, she had given up on me, but you never did! I believe! In this life, you definitely won’t, either! "It’s so nice just to be quietly with you." "The song ’Camel Bell’ you sang was very beautiful." "Sing a song for me now..." "...What would you like to hear?" "Whatever you sing, I’ll love it." "Then... ’Ten Miles of Spring Breeze’ it is!" "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze?" "Hmm! I am inside the Second Ring Road, thinking of you! You are on a distant mountain, Ten Miles of Spring Breeze..." "If only I had a little recorder with me..." Zhen Yu didn’t understand: "...Why do you always want to record it?" Han Mingyue looked into her eyes under the moonlight and earnestly said, "Because you don’t talk much!" Zhen Yu blinked, "That’s not too little, is it?" "Excluding discussing matters and singing, you’ve only said about a dozen words to me in total!" "A dozen? That’s not too few." Zhen Yu said, nodding affirmatively. "...Sigh!" Han Mingyue took a breath and then suddenly added: "Including the song you just sang, help me record a cassette! It doesn’t matter if it’s a song I’ve never heard!" Zhen Yu quickly lifted her eyelids to look at Han Mingyue, only to see the smile in his eyes. As the two looked at each other, Zhen Yu also started to smile. "Then let’s trade! It can’t always be me recording for you!" "Oh?!" Han Mingyue was somewhat surprised, "What should I record? Do I also have to sing?" Zhen Yu shook her head mysteriously, holding back a laugh as she leaned in close to his ear and said, "Find a place with no one around and say this... If you can’t remember, I’ll write it down for you later!" Under Zhen Yu’s gaze, Han Mingyue eventually nodded, his face flushing red.
