Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space
Chapter 608: I’ve Embarrassed You
CHAPTER 608: CHAPTER 608: I’VE EMBARRASSED YOU
Zhou Guyu, who followed closely behind, saw the various changes in her sister’s expressions and knew what she was thinking.
She was deliberately saying it for her to hear. Over the years, she hadn’t missed a chance to flaunt the Han Family’s name at home, painting illusions for their parents, yet Uncle Han always stuck to his words: they would find his daughter.
No matter how well she presented herself in front of him, he never changed his tune.
With all her scheming, let alone the battle-hardened Uncle Han, even she could see through it crystal clear—truly, not beautiful but dreaming of it.
Zhou Jingzhe’s face turned pale with anger: "Even if they find her, she probably won’t be presentable. I’d like to see her."
Zhou Guyu chuckled softly: "Sis, you’re probably going to be disappointed. Don’t forget there’s a saying: ’Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes to phoenixes.’ With someone as learned and poised as Uncle Han, how bad could his daughter be?
This is fine at home, but you better not talk nonsense outside, or you’ll be a laughingstock."
Zhou Jingzhe, who never saw eye to eye with her sister usually, couldn’t hold back hearing her sarcasm: "What do you mean, am I embarrassing you?"
Zhou Guyu gave a light ’hmm’: "Figure out the meaning yourself. It’s best not to covet what’s not yours to avoid becoming a joke and dragging the family down."
Zhou Jingzhe roared in anger, "Zhou Guyu, what are you saying?"
Mrs. Zhou saw her two daughters were about to argue again: "Alright, both of you say less."
How could she not know her eldest daughter’s thoughts all these years? Yet Mr. Han had clearly rejected them several times, but Jingzhe seemed obsessed, wanting to acknowledge a godparent relationship with Mr. Han.
The reason for not telling Jingzhe about Mr. Han finding his biological daughter was to prevent her from interfering midway and affecting her work.
And even if she came back, what good would it do? People certainly aren’t going to deny their own daughter.
Zhou Jingzhe turned and walked out: "You just can’t stand to see me do well."
Mrs. Zhou watched her walk away: "Where are you going?"
Zhou Jingzhe didn’t turn back: "None of your business."
Zhou Guyu saw her mother’s eyes turned red with anger: "Mom, don’t worry about her. She’s always dreaming of good things without knowing her own limits. Uncle Han already made it clear, yet she still cozies up to them. Probably out of respect for Dad, he hasn’t gone too far.
If she can’t see the situation clearly and does something bad, they certainly won’t be kind to her. Just watch, someone who doesn’t know their place deserves to be ashamed."
Mrs. Zhou also knew her second daughter was right, but if something did happen, how would their family face Mr. Han?
They owed him a lot when Grandma was sick, and later, when the work unit couldn’t allocate them a house, Mr. Han helped. They had no way to repay him, and if Jingzhe caused trouble again, the thought was terrifying: "It’s really a crime."
She couldn’t understand what her elder daughter was thinking; owing someone a debt, she insisted on acknowledging a godparent relationship to repay it, yet it was clear Mr. Han had no such intention, but Jingzhe just played dumb.
With a light sigh: "Guyu, hurry to your dad’s workplace and tell him about your sister’s return, see what he thinks."
Zhou Guyu heard her mother’s instructions, quickly put on a coat, and headed out: "Got it, Mom."
When Zhou Guyu reached the street corner, she didn’t see her sister’s figure. She didn’t know whether she had gone to the Han Family to seek humiliation or went elsewhere to vent her dissatisfaction.
She jogged to the steel plant and asked someone at the workshop entrance to send a message: "Uncle Cao, I’m here to find my dad, could you call him for me?"
Master Cao turned and shouted into the workshop: "Zhou Dongping, your daughter Guyu is looking for you."
Zhou Dongping had just finished his work, and hearing the call from his co-worker, he told his team and walked out. Seeing his second daughter outside the workshop: "Guyu, what brings you here?"
