Regarding Gu’s father’s accusation, Zhen Yu scoffed at it contemptuously!
Zhen Yan didn’t give him a good look either! He outright sneered: "Even now you’re still trying to fra ! Do you have no sha?!"
"It was you who beat him up!" Gu’s father not only stubbornly pinned the bla on Zhen Yan but also deliberately used words to provoke him! "What a big man you are! For the sake of a few bucks, you let your sister take the fall for you! Have you no sha? Disgraceful!"
"Damn it!" Zhen Yan roared, ready to pounce on Gu’s father and give him a thrashing!
However, he was stopped by Zhen Yu, who got in front of him!
"Brother! So things need to be done at the right place and ti!" Zhen Yu said with a frown, her words laced with deeper aning.
As Zhen Yan mulled over her words, he t his sister’s icy gaze! In an instant, he cald down! Then, he realized the purpose behind Gu’s father’s words, and his look towards him grew even more unfriendly!
Place and ti, huh...

During the confrontation between the Zhen siblings and Gu’s father, Mrs. Zhen’s expression kept changing.
One mont she recalled Gu’s father’s utmost care for her during her pregnancy, and the next, she thought about her helplessness before she fainted in a pool of blood. Although her son’s words cast a shadow over her, in the end, it was her anticipation of Gu’s father’s return that prevailed within her heart!
She didn’t know whose words to believe about the injury to Gu’s father. But no matter who was telling the truth, it was definitely one of her children who did it! Realizing this, Mrs. Zhen knew that the relationship between her children and the Gu Family was no longer about coexisting in harmony, but was destined to be adversarial!
Without much thought, Mrs. Zhen decided to smooth things over!
She had a rough idea of the internet cafe’s inco! Not much was needed—just taking the profits of two internet cafes for a month to compensate Gu’s father would do!
Then she would try to persuade Gu’s father, after all, it was just a fractured leg, not so incurable major injury! A few tens of thousands of yuan should cover it, right? The three months of recovery could simply be thought of as a vacation for him! Perhaps he would agree? He should, right...
——
While Mrs. Zhen was entertaining these thoughts, Han Mingyue suddenly returned to the ward! As soon as he entered the room, he spoke directly to Zhen Yu: "Xiao Yu! I’ve done everything as you instructed, and the person is waiting right outside!"
"Good! I’ll go out now!" Zhen Yu replied, getting ready to walk out of the ward.
As for Zhen Yu wanting to leave, Gu’s father had no way to stop her!
But Aunt Gu Qing, who had been quiet all this while, had actually been keeping an eye on Zhen Yu! The mont she saw her about to leave, she quickly yelled, "Where the hell do you think you’re going?! Stand right there!"
Unfortunately, Zhen Yu turned a deaf ear to her, bypassing Bai Xue to head outside.
"Damn girl, didn’t you hear ?! I told you to stand right there!" Aunt Gu Qing instinctively felt that anything to do with Zhen Yu spelled trouble, so without a second thought, she hurriedly took a few steps to follow after her!
But then Bai Xue suddenly stepped forward to block her path, hands on hips, ready to talk back!
"Who are you calling ’damn girl’?! You shaless old hag!"
"You son of a bitch! Move aside, hurry up! Ah, ah, soone is killing ! Murder..." Aunt Gu Qing raised her hand, trying to push Bai Xue away, but before she could touch her, Zhen Yan’s sudden intervention, grabbing her wrist with a firm hand. Zhen Yan didn’t do anything else; he just squeezed as hard as he could! Just this alone caused Aunt Gu Qing so much pain she started to wail!
Gu’s father, unable to stand up from his wheelchair and help, was so anxious all he could do was quickly turn around and exclaim to Mrs. Zhen: "Cheng Yan’er! Hurry up and make your son let go of Xiaoqing’s aunt!"
Upon hearing the command, Mrs. Zhen imdiately took action! She hurriedly said, "Xiao Yan, let go! That’s your Uncle Gu’s sister!"
Zhen Yan was so amused by his mother’s foolish words and actions that he burst out laughing without even thinking!
"You may obey the Gus’ every whim, but don’t fucking include in that!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the room suddenly fell into a bizarre silence.
Gu’s father and his sister exchanged glances, both thinking the sa thing! It seems it’s not just their daughter— even their son isn’t so filial towards Cheng Yan. This money might not be so easy to get after all...
And Mrs. Zhen’s face turned green...
This was the first ti! The very first ti!
Her son had never spoken to her like this before, and in front of so many people no less!
It’s all Aunt Gu Qing’s fault!! If Xiao Yu wanted to leave, then just let her! Without Xiao Yu around, it would have been even easier to persuade Xiao Yan to pay!
What was she doing chasing after Xiao Yu to watch! Watch!! Watch her neighbor’s duck!!!

The minds of the onlookers were all over the place, but the standoff didn’t last long, as Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue quickly returned to the ward. As soon as she entered, everyone’s gaze in the room turned to her!
Even the onlookers could see, in such a short ti, that this girl was the key to deciding the direction of the situation!
After scanning the room with her eyes, Zhen Yu spoke up with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "Everyone should know that it’s 1998, but do you also know about sothing called ’surveillance’?"
Upon hearing these two words, a few people in the crowd showed a sudden look of understanding!
But the vast majority, including Mrs. Zhen, Gu’s father, Aunt Gu Qing, Bai Xue, and Zhen Yan, all had looks of bewildered confusion. Obviously, these people had no idea about the existence of surveillance!
It’s okay not to understand, Zhen Yu could explain!
Because she didn’t want to waste any more ti on the Gu Family! And she didn’t want to have anything more to do with them!
"Everyone knows that a tape recorder can record sound, right? Well, surveillance! It can record video!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Gu siblings’ expressions turned grave! Aunt Gu Qing blurted out, "Absolutely impossible! You must be deceiving us! There’s no such thing!"
After a sneer, Zhen Yu said, "You can go sue in court if you want to find out if it’s true or not!"
"I won’t bother with that! Brother! Ming Yue, Bai Xue, let’s go!"
With a call from Zhen Yu, Han Mingyue led the way out of the ward. Zhen Yan also imdiately shook off Aunt Gu Qing’s hand and followed his sister, with Bai Xue closely behind.
Gu’s father hung his head low and didn’t move. Aunt Gu Qing gaped open-mouthed but no longer spoke.
Seeing the reaction from the Gu family mbers, Mrs. Zhen and the onlooking crowd finally realized. It turned out that what Zhen Yu said was true! Gu’s father had really lied to extort money...
In a silence as grave as death, Zhen Yan was the last to walk out of the ward.
