CHAPTER 451: CHAPTER 450: PARTING ON GOOD TERMS

Zhen Yan’s voice had just dropped when Aunt Gu Qing quickly counterattacked against Zhen Yu’s words!

She screamed loudly, "This is blatant shielding! It was clearly her brother who started hitting people! Everyone, don’t believe the lies of this deceitful girl! She’s only saying this to avoid paying compensation! She thinks she can evade legal responsibility because she is young! Let me tell you! No way! Absolutely no way! Don’t even think about it!"

Before today’s troublemaking with Zhen Yan, Aunt Gu Qing had already conspired with Gu’s father! Since they could not squeeze anything out of Zhen Yu, why not simply target Zhen Yan!?

After all, the people in that hospital room had already been discharged, and the doctors and nurses arrived too late, Gu’s father just needed to insist that it was Zhen Yan who first broke his leg, then Zhen Yu took over and hit him. What could the Zhen siblings do?! They probably couldn’t even find anyone to testify for Zhen Yan! Ha ha!

Perfect! It just so happened that Zhen Yan arrived at the scene when Gu’s father was being beaten!

What a rare and great opportunity! It feels almost wrong not to blame Zhen Yan for this!

Initially, Gu’s father just didn’t think it through! If they had targeted Zhen Yan from the beginning, perhaps their planned scheme would have succeeded long ago!

And now, Gu’s father regrets this the most! Why didn’t he think of this earlier...

If he had thought earlier about involving Zhen Yan as well, they wouldn’t have kept Xiaoqing away from that kid! They could have totally used his affection for Xiaoqing to pull him into Gu Family’s camp!

Then, with just Zhen Yu left, could she still play any tricks? Fat chance!!

Unfortunately, time changes, and now Zhen Yan is determined to stand by his sister’s side...

——

Originally, the onlookers who started doubting Gu’s father upon hearing Zhen Yu’s words now firmly believed Aunt Gu Qing’s statements!

Comparing the physical build between Zhen Yu and Zhen Yan, most people believed it must have been the brother who acted first, and the sister was just trying to cover for him!

Zhen Yu didn’t rush to explain; she had no need to explain to a bunch of irrelevant people!

She merely directed her gaze towards her mother.

Seeing her look over, Zhen Yan and Han Mingyue also immediately looked over!

Bai Xue, a little slower to react, also looked over!

Four people, eight eyes, all watching! Mrs. Zhen was instantly flustered by so many stares!

Before Aunt Gu Qing’s visit today, no one told her that Gu’s father’s leg was broken by her and her ex-husband’s children! This was a predicament where both options were unfavorable. How was she to choose?!

What’s more important! Would Old Gu blame her for this...

With Mrs. Zhen’s character, making a decision was harder than reaching the heavens!

Before her divorce, when faced with difficult choices, she always acted according to Mr. Zhen’s wishes.

After her divorce, decisions were made by following Zhen Yu’s cues.

Now, having been married to Gu’s father and living together for nearly a year, her first instinct was to instinctively look towards her current husband...

This was just a subconscious reaction from Mrs. Zhen, but it made Gu’s father nod his head in satisfaction!

Look! He knows it! Cheng Yan’er is just indecisive and easy to manipulate!

If he marries her, whatever the husband says, she’ll comply! She won’t go west if he points east! Where can you find such an obedient wife?! It’s tough to find even with a lantern!

It seems like he needs to hint to his sister later. Why bring up divorce out of nowhere! Can this marriage even end?! Absolutely not! Without her, who would take care of his son?!

And then! Even if this woman is kept at home like an old mother, that’s still good! No need to care about anything but feeding her! Does a restaurant owner like him lack food to give her?! Really!

—

Meanwhile, on the other side, seeing that the first person her mother chose to believe and rely on wasn’t herself, Zhen Yuxin’s last glimmer of hope was completely extinguished.

After a long sigh, she suddenly motioned to Han Mingyue and beckoned him over! After Han Mingyue came closer, she whispered a few words in his ear, and then Han Mingyue quickly left the hospital room.

Upon seeing his mother’s actions, Zhen Yan was heartbroken! It felt as if his heart and lungs were being pierced alive, his big eyes bulged, and even the veins on his forehead burst!

At this moment, he really wanted to crack open his mother’s head to see what Gu’s father had brainwashed her with!

Zhen Yu watched as her brother’s cheeks twitched repeatedly, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, his fists clenched tighter!

Seeing this, Zhen Yu couldn’t help but speak up.

"Brother! Let it go," she grabbed her brother’s wrist and persuaded, "After all, we are mother and son! Since our bond is over... let’s part amicably! This is the last time, let’s not make it hard on mom!"

"Xiao Yu!" Mrs. Zhen exclaimed in shock! Her daughter’s words suddenly gave her a very bad feeling!

Zhen Yu ignored her mother and just gazed steadily at her brother’s profile.

Zhen Yan also didn’t pay attention to his mother, and in just a few seconds, he had made up his mind!

So, as Zhen Yu finished speaking, Zhen Yan’s voice rang out.

"Yeah! Brother understands! You stay on the side! I’ll talk to our mom!"

After saying this, Zhen Yan didn’t wait for his sister’s response and immediately turned his head towards his mother!

"Mom! Since you already have a new home and new life, from now on,"

"Zhen Yan!" Mrs. Zhen suddenly shouted! Instinctively, she didn’t want her son to continue, because she had a feeling that things were going to turn really bad this time...

—

But Zhen Yan didn’t follow her wishes and shouted back, "Mom!!"

With that roar, his emotions suddenly surged! "What needs to be said! What shouldn’t be said! Let me, as your son and as a brother, say it all! You’ve remarried, conceived, given birth, and neither my sister nor I stopped you! But look at the man you chose! Where was he when you were bleeding heavily?! Where was he when you were in the operating room, clinging to life and death?! Can he really take care of you for the rest of your life?! Can he?!"

After the heart-wrenching shout of "Can he?" Zhen Yan’s eyes reddened first.

Zhen Yu was not much stronger than her brother, but she was used to restraining her tears inside! So she immediately tilted her head back a bit, blinked her eyes rapidly, took a deep breath, and then seemed to calm down again.

Of course, Gu’s father couldn’t let his children sway their mother’s mind at this critical moment! So he also roared back, "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting! Didn’t you break my leg?! If you hadn’t kept holding me down and hitting me, wouldn’t I have gone to stay by her side?!"
