Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 725 - 724: Do the Math

Although Zhen Yu’s lunar birthday isn’t until September, the birthday listed on her household registration and ID card is July 15th on the solar calendar.

So, from a legal perspective, Zhen Yu is now already an adult, having reached the age of eighteen.

After resting for a night upon returning to the Capital, Zhen Yan started to get busy with his sister non-stop.

First, he transferred out the business license and Yueyu trademark under his name, then the Beijing University house and the nearby internet café.

For the house and internet cafe near Public Security University, Zhen Yu not only didn’t want them! She even let her brother decide, after seeing Zhen Yan hesitant to speak, whether or not to transfer the house to Mrs. Zhen! She said that since it was given to him, she would not interfere with any of his decisions anymore!

Eventually, Zhen Yan still decided to wait until his sister’s matters were settled, then he would transfer the house to their mother.

He could totally save up some money and buy another one himself!

Even though property prices in the Capital had already started rising, the internet café was still making money fairly quickly!

Before Zhen Yan could announce his decision, Zhen Yu said again: "No matter how you deal with that house, I’ll buy another one near Public Security University for you! After all, properties and internet cafes in Qi City have all been dealt with, plus the remaining savings in the bank, we should still be able to buy two houses in the Capital! One for you... one for our mom, and from then on, the three of us will be considered separated."

The last sentence, although said with a smile, inevitably carried a hint of sadness.

So after hearing this, Zhen Yan suddenly looked gloomy.

Seeing this, Zhen Yu lightly pushed her brother and asked nonchalantly, "What’s up? Don’t want to separate from me?"

——

This time, Zhen Yan was silent for quite a long time.

After a good while, he finally looked up and said, "I plan to transfer the house our mom lives in, to her as well."

"I figured as much!" Zhen Yu said, unsurprised.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yan nodded, then suddenly grasped his sister’s hand solemnly and said, "Little sister! After separation, the responsibility for our parents will fall on me!"

Although he didn’t say it explicitly, Zhen Yu read his implied message in his eyes.

The subtext from Zhen Yan was — "So, you don’t need to worry about them anymore! I’ll take care of everything!"

Feeling the sincere concern from her brother, Zhen Yu laughed and shook her head.

She initially didn’t want to explain! But at this moment, she decided to carefully tally up the accounts for Zhen Yan.

First, however, Zhen Yu had to shift Zhen Yan’s perspective...

"Brother! Do you think that the reason our family has money now is all because I came up with ideas and made efforts to earn it?"

"Isn’t that the case?" Zhen Yan asked, puzzled as to why his sister would question that, as it was an obvious fact.

"Of course not!" Zhen Yu sternly denied! "First, you need to know, if it weren’t for the assets our mom received from the divorce, even if I had a million brilliant ideas, it would all be moot without the initial capital!"

Zhen Yan could not refute this, so he simply nodded and replied, "Mmh... indeed."

"Moreover! Even with ideas and capital, you can’t make money without execution! Our mom put in a lot of effort in the first year when the internet café started. Although later... later the responsibilities all fell on your name, you’ve also been busy caring for our family for these years! So, the money we’ve made isn’t solely my own achievement!"

"Hey! Little sister, what exactly are you trying to say?" Zhen Yan felt almost dizzy with his sister’s roundabout way of explaining.

——

"What I’m saying is, having two apartments in the Capital is enough for her to live very well! One to live in and one to rent out, plus the living allowance we both provide her every month, her life is already more privileged than most! You don’t need to,"

Before Zhen Yu could finish, Zhen Yan bluntly interrupted: "You don’t need to provide her living allowance! I’ll handle it!"

"...give her extra money on top of that!" Zhen Yu still managed to finish her sentence just as Zhen Yan’s statement concluded.

Then she sighed, "Ah! How much are you planning to give her? Are you giving mine along with hers?"

Zhen Yan hesitated after being asked, but still tentatively said: "Three thousand?"

Zhen Yu kept her composure, "In total?"

"No,"

Just as Zhen Yan was about to argue, Zhen Yu suddenly said in a stern voice: "In total!"

"Ah? Isn’t that a little too little,"

"It’s not too little!" Zhen Yu glanced at her brother and suddenly said with a pout: "You should go out and ask around! Ask how much ordinary families in the Capital earn in a month!"

After another moment of silence, Zhen Yan nodded.

"Alright, then three thousand it is!"

Hearing her brother’s helpless voice, Zhen Yu suddenly realized! How could she forget to restrain herself again...

She had clearly planned not to meddle in her brother’s and parents’ affairs, yet she couldn’t help but want to interfere! This isn’t good! Not good...

"That’s it, give her the living expenses based on this rate! If you’re willing to give her and Zhen Halong extra, I won’t interfere! Anyway, I’ll just give you three thousand per month!"

"Ah? No need! Brother will give! You don’t need to give!" Zhen Yan was momentarily stunned, then refused.

But Zhen Yu said: "It’s necessary! It’s my responsibility sooner or later... just make sure to explain it clearly to them."

There was another thing that Zhen Yu kept to herself and didn’t mention to her brother.

That was—Mr. Zhen, who knows if he could last another two years...

After all, in Zhen Yu’s past life, Mr. Zhen passed away in the late autumn of 2002.

And although his life in this life wasn’t as good as in his previous life, who knows! Whether the time of death would be the same as in the previous life?

Whether it’s the same or not, Zhen Yu didn’t have any solutions!

After all, it was an illness, not some accident. And even if it were an accident, Zhen Yu might not really want to save that scoundrel...

Zhen Yan wasn’t aware of Zhen Yu’s internal struggles, so after thinking it over, he finally agreed.

"...Alright then! If you are willing to pay, then go ahead!"

Anyway, he’d just buy his sister some more nice things later on!

Whether the family split up or not, it simply meant earning and spending their own money from two internet cafes.

His little sister now owned an internet cafe, a dairy factory, a ranch, and half a clothing store; she was definitely not short of money!

"Anyway, all the remaining money is in your card, go check out the agents near Public Security University tomorrow! Buy the house as soon as possible! I won’t deal with her house, you handle it. But one thing, if you can buy closer to the city center, don’t buy farther out!"

"Got it!" Zhen Yan nodded seriously, "So after you finish all this, what are you planning to do next?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"I need to go to the publishing house! I have to change the bank card for the manuscript fees, change it to my own."

Zhen Yan: "..."

He almost forgot! His sister has another way to make money! Really, some people are just luckier than others...
