Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 668 - 667: Three Brothers

Upon hearing Zhen Yu’s words, Bai Xue realized that she had been so preoccupied with trying to quickly avoid Lu Huai that she forgot to check which direction she was heading.

But now, if she were asked to turn around and head back, she wouldn’t want to! Because she would definitely run into those three people from before!

"Xiao Yu..." Bai Xue, feeling troubled, sought help from Zhen Yu.

However, Zhen Yu just pushed her hands outward, speaking rather innocently, "Looking at me is no use! There’s only one road back! I can’t exactly fly you there!"

Hearing this, Bai Xue’s entire face scrunched up.

"How about we just stand here for a while?"

"Stand what stand! Standing here at night to feed the mosquitoes?!" Zhen Yu gave Bai Xue a look of frustrated disappointment!

"A road leads to the sky, each taking a side! We just keep our eyes straight and walk on the other side of the road! Pretend like we didn’t see anything!"

"Can... can that work?" Bai Xue seemed very hesitant.

"What are you afraid of?" Zhen Yu moved closer to Bai Xue, smiling, trying to figure out what she was really thinking.

But Bai Xue immediately turned her head to avoid Zhen Yu’s gaze. "What I am afraid of! It’s not me, uh! Let’s go!"

She stopped speaking halfway through and suddenly called out to Zhen Yu. Grabbing her arm, they started back on the return path.

And then, from a distance, Zhen Yu and Bai Xue could see, those three people from before were still tugging and pulling at each other near the curb in front of the cinema. Passersby on both sides of the road would turn their heads to take a second glance.

Just like Bai Xue...

Not until the two girls had passed the cinema and walked a good distance away did the commotion involving Lu Huai and his companions continue.

"Ah!" Finally, Bai Xue stopped looking back but still let out a sigh and then bowed her head as if there was money to be picked up from the ground.

---

"What’s wrong? Are you very unhappy?" Zhen Yu put her hand around Bai Xue’s shoulder and asked with a touch of concern.

Bai Xue shook her head and then nodded, but didn’t say anything.

After thinking for a bit, Zhen Yu suddenly spoke up, but she changed the subject!

"Bai Xue! Do you know anything about Lu Huai’s family background?"

Bai Xue looked up in confusion, somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Zhen Yu would ask her that.

Seeing Bai Xue’s reaction, Zhen Yu understood.

"Don’t know?"

"Mm." Bai Xue responded.

Although she didn’t want to upset Bai Xue, Zhen Yu still felt that it was better for Bai Xue to clear up some things sooner rather than later!

"Actually, I don’t know either! But, I can make a pretty accurate guess!"

Bai Xue hesitated a few times, wanting to ask! But she didn’t know how to.

Fortunately, Zhen Yu didn’t intend to keep her hanging and promptly started her analysis for Bai Xue: "I don’t know how many brothers Lu Huai’s father has! But as far as I know, Lu Mei’s father is probably the second son, and he used to be the director of a state-owned dairy factory!"

Bai Xue nodded, "I know this! Lu Huai told me that Lu Mei is his second uncle’s cousin."

"Since there is a second uncle, there must be a big uncle! Lu Huai’s uncle is right here in Laha Town! He’s the director of the police station in our place!"

"How do you know?!" Bai Xue exclaimed in surprise! Then she immediately guessed: "Did Lu Mei’s dad tell you?"

"No! Director Lu is Lu Wei’s dad! You know Lu Wei, right? Qian Duoduo’s ex-boyfriend!"

"Ah? What a coincidence?!" Bai Xue seemed very astonished!

"I just happened to meet him the first time I went to Factory Director Lu’s house! Then Factory Director Lu introduced him to me, saying that was his elder brother!"

——

After a moment of silence, Bai Xue said, somewhat confusedly, "You mean to say that Lu Huai’s dad must be very influential, right?"

Hearing this, Zhen Yu suddenly burst into laughter, and it was a kind of mysterious chuckle.

"Actually, it’s just my guess! But I am eighty percent confident that my guess is the truth! You must remember to keep it secret after you hear this! Lu Huai’s dad is Principal Lu of our First High School!"

"?" Bai Xue almost jumped right there! "You mean the principal who is elusive like a dragon?"

"Unexpected, right?" Zhen Yu smiled somewhat helplessly, "I didn’t expect it either!"

After taking a long breath, Zhen Yu explained: "When I was the new student representative and gave a speech on the stage, it was Principal Lu who awarded me the scholarship! He looked almost like he was carved out of the same mold as Lu Huai!"

"Then why didn’t you say it earlier? Why didn’t you tell me before? Does Han Mingyue know?" Bai Xue asked somewhat surprised.

"What do you think?!" Zhen Yu countered with a question! Then she said: "Since Lu Huai doesn’t want to say it, he must have his reasons for not wanting to! Why should I burst his bubble?"

Bai Xue fell silent, then suddenly looked up and asked: "Then, Xiao Yu, you mentioned before about Lu Huai’s family background..."

"Silly girl! If all three brothers are officials, what kind of background do you think his family has! Do you think it’s easy to be an official? I also know that Factory Director Lu is a university graduate! A university graduate! People from their generation who went to university, haha! And do you even know if they have just three brothers? If there are more..."

"...I understand." Bai Xue’s voice was low, filled with a kind of despondent resonance.

——

Seeing this, Zhen Yu tightened her arm around Bai Xue’s shoulder and shook her head, "Why are you putting on such an expression? I’m telling you this to inspire you to work harder! Not to make you give up altogether!"

Hearing this, Bai Xue immediately raised her head!

"Instead of wasting time being jealous, you would be better off hitting the books!"

"I,"

"I what? Haven’t you learned anything from history? ’The nobles and officers of the state, were they not born of common stock?’ With that face of yours, if you were to live in ancient times, you’d definitely be the number one beauty! Just get into a university! When the time comes, with both brains and beauty, what kind of person couldn’t you marry! Does Lu Huai’s family even have a throne to inherit?!"

"Hehe..."

Bai Xue was amused by Zhen Yu’s last sentence and finally began to look more cheerful.

However, she didn’t agree with Zhen Yu’s words, and after laughing twice, she immediately retorted, "I think the vision of people at our school isn’t very good! Clearly, you are much prettier than me! Why do they insist on labeling me as the school beauty? I think you are the real school beauty of First High School! I haven’t seen any girl in school prettier than you! Including me!"

Zhen Yu twitched the corners of her mouth, suddenly let go of Bai Xue, and took a step back, adopting a pose with arms crossed as if defensively saying: "Are you seeing Xi Shi in your lover’s eyes? I warn you, I already have a boyfriend! Don’t come any closer..."

"Hahaha! Xiao Yu, you’re too funny! Who did you learn that from? Haha... Come on, let this old man give you a smooch!" Bai Xue was stunned for a moment, then she burst into laughter and pounced forward...
