Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 889 - 888: Self-Doubt

"More or less!" Zhen Yu replied ambiguously, "Anyway, compared to the interest on loans, buying a house is still more practical."

Han Mingyue pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "If that’s the case, I’ll go call my dad!"

Zhen Yu nodded, "Yeah, go ahead! The sooner you buy, the sooner you’ll feel at ease."

Seeing Han Mingyue turn and leave the bedroom, Zhen Yan finally whispered, "Little sister."

Zhen Yu turned to look at him, "?"

"Well, since there’s still time this afternoon, I need to go to the internet cafe."

"...Did she push you?" Zhen Yu immediately understood what was going on, so she asked directly.

"Yeah! She called again this morning!" Zhen Yan didn’t hide anything from his sister, "Anyway, it’s something that’s been decided long ago, the sooner it’s done,"

"Right! The sooner it’s done, the better!" Zhen Yu echoed, "Then you should hurry! Come back early for dinner tonight."

"Okay!" Seeing that his sister wasn’t angry at all after hearing this, Zhen Yan immediately beamed with joy.

"Then I’m off, alright?!"

"Go, go!" Zhen Yu waved her hand as if shooing a fly, but she also reminded him, "The roads are slippery in snowy weather, be careful!"

"Got it!"

As these words reached him, Zhen Yan was already in the living room changing his shoes.

And after a while, the sound of the door slamming echoed into the bedroom, and Zhen Yan left.

Only then did Zhen Yu quietly let out a long breath, and the corners of her mouth drooped.

To be honest, she hadn’t really seen Mrs. Zhen for a very, very long time!

It had been so long that if no one mentioned her, Zhen Yu almost forgot that someone like Mrs. Zhen existed in the world!

Yet even after so long without contact, whenever she heard news about her, Zhen Yu still couldn’t keep her heart at peace.

This feeling wasn’t good at all! But Zhen Yu just couldn’t control it.

So she could only tilt her head back and cover her eyes with her hands, forcing herself to clear her mind and stop thinking about it...

——

When Han Mingyue finished the phone call and walked into the bedroom, this was the scene he saw.

It only took him a second of confusion to understand.

It must have been something Zhen Yan said, and it was probably about Mrs. Zhen.

He just walked over, took her hands away, and held them tight.

But Zhen Yu’s eyes remained tightly shut with no intention of opening them.

At this point, Han Mingyue was at a loss and could only ask, "What did Zhen Yan say to you again?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"He didn’t say much, just that he needed to take care of something at the internet cafe."

"Is this what’s bothering you?" When Han Mingyue asked this, he felt that wasn’t the case!

And as it turns out, sometimes a man’s sixth sense is quite strong.

Because Zhen Yu quickly shook her head at his words and opened her eyes to look at him.

"Han Mingyue."

"?" Han Mingyue looked puzzled, waiting for what she’d say next.

Under his gaze, Zhen Yu pursed her lips tightly!

Then, having made up her mind, she asked, "Have you ever thought that I’m too harsh on my own parents?"

Han Mingyue was stunned at first! Then he immediately shook his head strongly!

And firmly said, "No! Never!"

"Really??" Zhen Yu’s eyes were full of doubt, clearly disbelieving his answer!

Seeing this, Han Mingyue finally understood!

"Zhen Yu! Are you doubting yourself?" Though it was a question, Han Mingyue asked it with certainty!

Zhen Yu remained silent.

——

"This shouldn’t be the first time you’ve had such thoughts, right?!" Han Mingyue frowned, staring into Zhen Yu’s eyes.

But Zhen Yu still didn’t answer, her gaze dodging, not daring to meet his eyes.

"I knew it! Zhen Yan always brings her up, bothers you with those things! You’ll end up feeling this way eventually!"

Zhen Yu stared at their intertwined hands with downcast eyes, still silent.

Seeing this, Han Mingyue tightened his grip! Squeezing her hand firmly.

Then he said, "Xiao Yu, I admit I’m biased towards you! But even if you had someone else, looking at it objectively, you have fulfilled all your obligations!"

"I understand what you mean!" Zhen Yu finally spoke up, but she wasn’t convinced.

"But that’s just the legal obligation of support! People always talk about ’emotionally and logically!’ I,"

"Even emotionally and logically! You’ve done everything you should!" Han Mingyue couldn’t help but interrupt Zhen Yu’s overthinking, "Since junior high, you’ve had to worry about the family’s livelihood, yet your dad wouldn’t even give child support on time! Then he cut it off entirely! You’re still letting Zhen Yan give him support money on time, isn’t that compassionate enough?!"

"I’ve been more than generous to him!"

Regarding Mr. Zhen, Zhen Yu remained as cold-hearted as ever, "I just feel that Cheng, Cheng..."

——

No matter what, she couldn’t bring herself to say ’Ms. Cheng,’ but she would never call her ’mom’ either!

So, she couldn’t continue with this sentence no matter what.

Seeing this, Han Mingyue chimed in opportunely, "You think you’re too harsh on ’Ms. Cheng’? But have you ever thought about how she’s treated you over the years? Use and discard! You don’t owe her anything!"

Perhaps Han Mingyue’s words were too sharp, as Zhen Yu’s complexion turned pale instinctively.

Only then did Han Mingyue realize his words had been too harsh, so he quickly switched to a softer tone and continued to reason with her.

"Whether you’re harsh or not, just compare it yourself! I’ll only say three points!"

"First, when she just divorced Uncle Zhen, what was your family’s financial situation? How could she buy a house in the capital after a few years just by earning money herself? Not to mention the fifty thousand in savings left!"

"Second, how many incidents did she cause before and after her second divorce? How many times did you clean up her mess? When she bled in the hospital, who saved her life? Preventing a tragedy where two lives could’ve been lost!"

Hearing this, images of her hands covered in blood suddenly appeared before Zhen Yu’s eyes, and she was finally somewhat moved.

Seeing this, Han Mingyue seized the opportunity and continued, "And thirdly, the most important point! Since her divorce from Gu, she hasn’t earned any money! How has her younger son survived till now? By drinking air?!"

Finally, the balance in Zhen Yu’s heart tilted, "I,"

Han Mingyue raised his hand, stopping her from speaking.

Then he struck her with a sudden realization! "You’ve raised her younger son until now, isn’t that being more than generous?!"

"..." What bothered Zhen Yu the most, what she resented the most, was having to help raise someone else’s son!

So, upon hearing this, all her self-doubt immediately vanished!

She blurted out, "Enough! Enough, more than enough!"

Now
