Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 860 - 859: Better Not to Acknowledge

Knock knock—

"Han Mingyue! Why did you lock the door?!"

Zhen Yan’s voice came simultaneously with the knocking, and only then did Han Mingyue remember he had forgotten to unlock the door.

He hurried over to open it and reached out to take the dinner.

Zhen Yan was taking off his down jacket while looking at his sister, and he immediately noticed something different!

"Did she turn over? Did she do it herself or did you help her?"

Han Mingyue was putting two chairs together and replied without looking up, "I helped! Come over and eat."

"Alright! Oh, and by the way! Little sister! Have you passed gas yet?" Zhen Yan agreed and then suddenly remembered this matter!

Zhen Yu was so embarrassed by her brother’s question that her face turned red! Her voice was only a touch louder than a mosquito’s, softly saying, "No."

"Then you need to hurry! It’s been a whole day! If you still can’t pass gas by tomorrow morning, then you can’t even have breakfast again!"

"Just eat your food! Eating can’t stop your mouth, can it!" Zhen Yu couldn’t take it anymore and finally snapped...

Only then did Zhen Yan obediently close his mouth and silently eat dinner opposite Han Mingyue.

But even though Zhen Yu had yelled at her brother, she was not feeling much better.

Because she had been hungry all day! She hadn’t eaten three meals since last night.

At this moment, just hearing the sound of the two behind her eating... that hunger surged instantly in her mind and couldn’t be driven away!

So she had to forcefully suppress her appetite! Repeatedly hypnotizing herself in her heart, telling herself— I’m not hungry...

---

Just when Zhen Yan was halfway through his meal, his phone suddenly rang.

He quickly got up, took out his phone from the pocket of his down jacket!

But after just one look, he turned it to silent mode and threw it on the bed behind him.

But then! Han Mingyue’s phone started to ring too!

His phone was on the bed right behind him, so Han Mingyue just turned around and picked it up.

Seeing the caller ID was Mrs. Han; Han Mingyue immediately answered it.

"Hey, Mom!"

"Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and since you guys can’t come back, your dad, your brother, and I will bring dumplings to you!"

Mrs. Han started with food! Because in the eyes of ordinary people, New Year’s Eve is all about eating a reunion meal!

But Han Mingyue didn’t want to trouble his parents, "No need! We’ll just eat something simple, has Jiaoyang arrived home?"

"Has he come back? Not yet! There’s no other way. Which restaurant is open on New Year’s Eve? You three can’t starve during the celebration!" Mrs. Han’s tone was firm, allowing no argument!

Han Mingyue was about to try persuading her again when his father’s voice suddenly came through the phone, "Let me talk to him!"

"Ming Yue! How is Xiao Yu doing?!"

Han Mingyue instinctively turned his head halfway, "She, she’s doing alright, just hasn’t passed gas yet."

"It’s been a day already, how come she still hasn’t? If she still hasn’t by morning, remember to ask the doctor during rounds what should be done! Do not delay! This is not a trivial matter! Also, help her turn more tonight! Get her moving! Turning will prevent intestinal adhesions and help her pass gas sooner! Don’t be afraid of the pain! Even if it hurts, she needs to turn!"

This time, Han Mingyue simply turned his entire body to glance back at Zhen Yu! But he still had to respond.

"Got it, Dad! I’ll make sure she turns more often!"

Mr. Han was satisfied, "Alright! If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now!"

---

"So what did he say? Your dad told you to help Xiao Yu turn more?" Zhen Yan, sitting close by, had overheard.

"Yeah! My dad said the gas issue cannot be delayed!" Han Mingyue nodded, continuing to eat.

Zhen Yan considered offering to help.

But in a moment of thought! He suddenly remembered the situation from when he returned to the ward in the morning and just shook his head!

Sigh! Whatever! He is the brother, after all!

This job should be done by the sister or the mothers, mom...

"Forget it! There’s no point in thinking about it!"

Zhen Yan cursed himself silently! It’s just that whenever he thinks of Mrs. Zhen now, he gets particularly upset!

It’s been a day since Xiao Yu’s surgery, and she hasn’t shown any reaction!

By now, it’s already dark outside, and she only just remembered to call him!

What does she want to say?! Say she forgot? Or that it’s too late today, she can’t come over again?

Damn it! He doesn’t even want to hear any of it now!

Let Mrs. Zhen do whatever she wants! A mother like her is better left unacknowledged!

Han Mingyue didn’t know, Zhen Yan’s reaction was exacerbated by receiving calls from both sets of parents simultaneously!

Of course! Even if he knew, Han Mingyue wouldn’t try to counsel him much over this!

He would only feel fortunate for Zhen Yan in his heart, fortunate that he finally opened his eyes to see Mrs. Zhen’s selfish nature!

Yes! Selfish!

As an observer, Han Mingyue could see that Mrs. Zhen’s selective treatment of her children at different times was fundamentally for her own future plans!

Not genuinely for any child’s sake!

---

Right after the divorce, Zhen Yu could help earn money for the family, so she treated Zhen Yu well.

After marrying Gu’s father, she greedily leaned on him as her reliance for the rest of her life.

So when her children were at odds with Gu’s father, she didn’t hesitate to side with her newly formed family.

When Gu’s father became unreliable, she tried to win back her children’s hearts.

Finding out her daughter’s heart was irretrievable, she latched onto her utterly devoted eldest son to support her.

And knowing her younger son’s health was good,

Her ’raising children for support in her old age’ mentality likely pivoted back to her younger son...

Don’t think that just because Han Mingyue looked down on Mrs. Zhen that he talked about it openly! In fact, he never mentioned these views to Zhen Yan and Zhen Yu!

So Zhen Yan never thought of covering for his mother in front of Han Mingyue...

Like right now! They had just finished eating and were cleaning up when Zhen Yan’s phone rang again.

This time, without even thinking too much, after a slight hesitation, he picked it up.

And Mrs. Zhen’s slightly anxious voice came from the receiver, "Xiao Yan! You’re at the hospital now, aren’t you?"

"Yes! I told you yesterday, Xiao Yu she,"

"I know! Xiao Yu is sick, right?!" Mrs. Zhen suddenly interrupted Zhen Yan, "Your younger brother seems to have a fever! Which hospital are you at? I’ll take him there to see the doctor, and by the way,"

"No need! Xiao Yu doesn’t need your ’by the way’!"

The quiet hospital room was suddenly filled with the sound of a "bang!" as Zhen Yan snapped his flip phone shut tightly...
