While Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue were sweetly in love, Zhen Yan was being lectured by Mr. Zhen and Mr. Han with reason and moved with emotion. Mrs. Han also left the table after Han Jiayang finished eating and left. Then, in an instant, only four people remained at the table. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Mr. Zhen started by playing the sympathy card, then put on an act of regret. "Xiao Yan! Dad was wrong! Dad should never have treated you all that way! Thinking about it now! Dad was like possessed by a demon back then, not listening to anyone!" "It’s all caused by money! The thing Dad won was not an award at all! It was poison! If it weren’t for that damned prize, Dad wouldn’t have ’Gone with the Wind’, not even knowing his own name anymore..." "Dad has already changed for the better! No more gambling! It’s just that... Dad has really ruined the family, leaving almost nothing behind, even if I want to give you child support now, I really can’t afford it! Just wait for a couple more years, in a few years when Dad’s life gets better," Zhen Yan really couldn’t stand listening anymore and finally spoke out to refuse: "There’s no need, Dad! We can support ourselves now! You, you should just take care of your own family! Don’t mess up like before!" The ’messing up’ in Zhen Yan’s words was indeed a bit impolite, but Mr. Zhen didn’t take offense. His son speaking to him meant he still cared for his father in his heart, and that was enough to satisfy Mr. Zhen! "Son! You’re not angry with Dad anymore, are you?!" Mr. Zhen seized the opportunity to ask while the iron was hot. Zhen Yan didn’t respond. Seeing this, Mr. Han hurriedly stepped in to mediate. "Alright! Xiao Yan! Your dad has already recognized his mistakes, so you should forgive him! There’s no overnight feud between father and son! Your dad has had a hard time these past few years..." Under Mr. Han’s persuasion, Zhen Yan finally hesitated and nodded his head. Although dinner didn’t take long, Zhen Yan’s lingered at the Han Family’s house for quite a while. And he also reluctantly agreed to several requests from Mr. Zhen, including but not limited to ’visit Mr. Zhen’s home often’ and so on! After leaving the Han Family, cooled by the cold night wind, Zhen Yan’s mind finally cleared up. Then he remembered his sister Zhen Yu! If Zhen Yu knew he had reconciled with their father... She probably wouldn’t be angry. But she wouldn’t be happy either! She would probably... treat it the same way she treated the matter with their mother, right?! Although Zhen Yan thought his guess was correct, he still went to talk to his sister after the first evening self-study session ended. The siblings whispered to each other at the staircase of the teaching building for a while, and then they parted ways. But Zhen Yan’s expression when he left was neither sad nor happy, because his sister’s attitude was exactly as he had deduced—unwilling to listen, not asking, not caring. Until he sat back down in the classroom, the last words his sister said kept echoing in Zhen Yan’s mind! "Zhen Yan! Let me reiterate my stance one last time! Aside from paying the support money, I don’t want to deal with anything related to our parents anymore! And about you, it’s still the same! I won’t interfere with any of your decisions, as long as you don’t deceive me, you will always be my brother! Otherwise..." Otherwise what, Zhen Yan didn’t let his sister say. He interrupted Zhen Yu right there and promised her once again that he would absolutely never deceive her! In this way, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yu reached a consensus regarding their attitude towards their parents and left each other in peace. But some people are just strange! The less you want to deal with her, the more she insists on coming after you! She and Gu’s father picked a good day and got divorced the day before New Year’s Day in 1999. It was a Friday, and the school was not on holiday as usual, but Mrs. Zhen still came to First High School excitedly. After exchanging pleasantries with Grandpa Wang, the gatekeeper, she was let in. Grandpa Wang didn’t know the grudge between Mrs. Zhen and her daughter, so he didn’t ask whom she was looking for! Once inside the school, Mrs. Zhen headed straight for the girls’ dormitory, rushed to room 208, and pushed the door open! Of course, during the daytime, the dormitory doors wouldn’t be locked, but entering without knocking was very impolite! That’s why Zhang Zhe, who was at the door, was displeased and demanded, "Ma’am, who are you looking for? Why didn’t you even knock?!" Mrs. Zhen, caught up in her excitement yet typically a person with good manners, immediately apologized. "Oh dear! I’m so sorry! I was in such a rush I forgot! I’m looking for Zhen Yu!" Even though summer had passed and the mosquito nets had been taken down, Zhen Yu would always have her bed curtains tightly drawn whenever she was in the dormitory, making it impossible to tell what the person inside was doing from outside. And no one dared to brazenly lift the curtains due to Zhen Yu’s formidable combat power! So now, hearing that Mrs. Zhen was here for Zhen Yu, all the girls in the dormitory turned their gazes towards Zhen Yu’s bed curtains. Zhen Yu was practicing calligraphy in her space when suddenly 6781 called out to her! Zhen Yu’s hand paused, ruining a perfectly good character she was writing.

As Zhen Yu was about to put on her shoes and get down from bed after drawing back her curtains, Mrs. Zhen blew in like a gust of wind, arriving in front of her! "Xiao Yu! Mom’s divorced! I’ve really gone through with the divorce this time!" Mrs. Zhen’s excitement was evident, leaving Zhen Yu at a loss for words for a moment. Is divorce something to be happy about? Announcing it in front of so many people in her dormitory in such a loud and excited manner! Was this not caring? Or was it really not caring at all! After putting on her shoes with a sullen face, Zhen Yu stood up from the bed and said, "Let’s go! We’ll talk outside." However... Mrs. Zhen simply sat down on Zhen Yu’s bed! "Why go outside in the middle of winter? It’s bizarrely cold out there! It’s my first time in your dorm room! Come here, let’s sit and talk for a while!" Zhen Yu turned around in front of the bed and then just silently stared at her mother. But the meaning in her eyes couldn’t have been more obvious! "Are you really under the impression that I’d forget the pain once my scars have healed?!" Even though Mrs. Zhen clearly understood the irony in her daughter`s eyes, she still deliberately looked away pretending to be oblivious. And she even made up an excuse for Zhen Yu! "Have you been lying down so long that you want to stand for a while? Then just stand there and talk to Mom!" Zhang Lili in the upper bunk happened to clearly understand Zhen Yu’s gaze, and upon hearing this actually snorted disdainfully! It wasn’t clear whether her scorn was directed at Mrs. Zhen or at Zhen Yu... Zhen Yu didn’t pay attention to Zhang Lili’s expression, but she still couldn’t play along anymore. So, she said with a slightly mocking smile, "Others still need to take a nap! If you want to sit here for a while it’s fine, but remember to keep quiet!" After saying that, she pulled out a chair, sat down with her back to Mrs. Zhen, and went back to reading.
