Chapter 567: Chapter 567

Cooking in silence, eating in silence.

After the meal, all three tacitly remained at the dining table.

Zhen Yu didn’t speak, and Zhen Yan wasn’t sure what to say, so eventually Mrs. Zhen begrudgingly broke the silence.

"He said he came to check if I had the child undergo surgery! The moment he heard that I hadn’t, he became agitated!"

Zhen Yan immediately agreed, "Right! Those surnamed Gu just barged in, heading straight for the child! Damn it, treating our home like a daycare! Just dumping the child whenever and coming to visit whenever they want!?"

Mrs. Zhen said with resentment, "What a shameless pair!"

Zhen Yu remained silent.

Mrs. Zhen hurriedly continued: "I remember the divorce agreement was very clear! We didn’t want his child support, he voluntarily gave up this right and that right! How come he’s suddenly showing up now..."

At this point, Zhen Yu finally spoke up: "Brother! What did the lawyer say at that time?!"

"Uh... The lawyer said it wouldn’t make much of a difference even if it was written, but it could still be put in to intimidate people!" Zhen Yan was somewhat worried, "Little sister, do you think that Gu guy has come to his senses?"

"That can’t be! What could he possibly understand?" Mrs. Zhen immediately retorted!

Zhen Yu nodded, "I think it’s more likely that he’s planning to play dirty!"

"Slam!" Upon hearing this, Zhen Yan became enraged. "Damn it! If he dares to come again, I’ll have to deal with him properly!"

But Zhen Yu cut her brother down to size with just one sentence, "Our school starts the day after tomorrow!"

"Then, how do we handle this?!" Mrs. Zhen became anxious all of a sudden!

Even if she stayed at home every day without stepping out, that Gu fellow could well come to block her door!

Zhen Yu originally didn’t want to bother with these trifles! But she knew that if she let go now, her brother would have no peace at all during this last semester before his college entrance exams!

So after taking a deep breath, Zhen Yu suddenly asked: "How did the medical examination in Harbin turn out?"

"Huh? Oh! It’s the same as what the doctors in Qi City said! Just monitor the condition!" Mrs. Zhen answered immediately! And as she talked about it, she seemed noticeably more cheerful than before. "The doctors in Harbin also said that the baby’s fontanel starts to close slowly at 10 months of age, and if it fully closes by two years old and Xiao Ci’s performance in all aspects is still normal, then it means benign hydrocephalus! By then, the head circumference should not increase much more, and as he grows, the fluid will be absorbed on its own!"

Zhen Yan had evidently heard this before, so he was not at all surprised at the moment.

However, Zhen Yu was slightly surprised, but she quickly nodded and said: "That’s good news! Just keep monitoring then! But since the child is not in immediate danger, you should take him to the Capital ahead of time!"

Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Yan both exclaimed in surprise!

After quickly glancing at Mrs. Zhen, Zhen Yu locked eyes with Zhen Yan.

"What I mean is—pack tonight! Hurry and buy plane tickets, send him off tomorrow!"

After making eye contact with his sister for a good five seconds, Zhen Yan finally made up his mind!

"I’ll go call Aunt Li right now! Ask her if she wants to leave with mom right away!"

Mrs. Zhen was completely at a loss by now! Seeing her son already run to the living room couch, she quickly turned to her daughter, who was still sitting at the table, and asked: "Eh? Eh! Am I really leaving? Really leaving tomorrow?"

"You’d better start packing now! I’m going back to my room."

Zhen Yu’s voice was cold and somewhat impatient.

She had had enough of cleaning up the Gu family’s mess! She could only hope that from now on, Mrs. Zhen and the Gu family would be worlds apart, never to see each other again...

Zhen Yu returned to the bedroom and sighed before reluctantly contacting He Baihe.

"Sister He! Could you help me buy two more phones? The same model as before is fine, or something similar!"

He Baihe: "Who are these for?"

"For my mom! And the auntie who helps her with the children!"

He Baihe: "Got it! I’m just about to go out to the night market, I’ll pick them up for you on the way."

"Thanks. Do you need to restock anything recently?"

He Baihe: "No need! Didn’t I just restock last week?"

He Baihe: "But honestly, selling ’second-hand goods’ makes more money! I just sold another watch today!"

That sounded really awkward! Zhen Yu asked somewhat embarrassingly, "...are only the watches selling well?"

"Okay then! Focus on the watches from now on! I’ll look into getting some overstock inventory as well."

He Baihe: "My business is all up to you, big sis! And if you can get some wall clocks and mantel clocks too, that’d be great! People have been asking for them!"

"No problem! I can go clear out some stock for you tomorrow!"

He Baihe: "Hehe... Sister, I’m off to clear stock for you right now! Gotta hang up!"

Once a decision was made, the implementation was always swift.

As soon as Zhen Yu left the living room, Mrs. Zhen understood there was no turning back. She immediately stood up from the dining table, not even bothering to clean up the dishes, and rushed back to the bedroom!

She packed the children’s necessities first, then her own food and clothing. After a flurry of packing that was fierce like a tiger, she had two suitcases filled to bursting. Even so, Mrs. Zhen still felt like there were so many things needed to be taken!

What to do? She could only wait for her son to finish his phone call to ask his opinion...

On Zhen Yan’s end, Aunt Li promised over the phone to accompany Mrs. Zhen to the Capital for an initial six months.

But! She made her terms clear from the get-go!

If she felt uncomfortable, she would only work until the summer break after Zhen Yan’s college entrance exams and then return to the northeast! It was just a matter of four months, after all!

If she felt alright, then she would stay on for the long term! At the very least until Cheng Ci was two years old.

Zhen Yan felt that her willingness to help him through the time leading up to the college entrance exams was already very considerate! So, naturally, he agreed without a second thought!

As soon as he hung up the phone and turned around, he found that Mrs. Zhen was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

"Mom! Why aren’t you packing? What are you doing sitting here?"

"There’s too much stuff! I’ve filled two suitcases, but there are so many essentials left! Oh right! Did Aunt Li agree?!"

"You’re about to start school soon, so you definitely can’t send me off!" Mrs. Zhen said with a worried frown, "Just us two women travelling such a long way makes me anxious! We’ll have to leave someone behind to take care of the child! Two suitcases are already the limit, I can’t bring any more! But if we don’t bring them... sigh!"

"Well, I can definitely take you to the airport! But after you get off the plane, what then..." Zhen Yan had never checked baggage before and thought planes worked the same as trains!

He couldn’t help but sit next to his mother and worry with her.
