CHAPTER 509: CHAPTER 508: MUTUAL HARM

"So how much do you want?!" Gu’s father, unable to make his desired calculations work, was forced to change his tone.

Zhen Yan glared fiercely! "Divide it up according to the market price! No one can cheat anyone!"

"...Fine! Hurry up and call your mother back, and after the paperwork is done,"

"Don’t rush into anything! We don’t want the child!!" Zhen Yan, who had been practicing his cunning over the past few years, now started to play mind games. His eyes were wide open with contempt, and he really did scare Gu’s father on the spot!

"That’s absolutely not going to work! If you don’t want them, I don’t want them either!" Gu’s father immediately started clucking like a ruffled rooster! "How can a mother not want her own children? Does that sound humane?!"

"Isn’t that also true for you as a father?! Everyone knows what’s going on, so let’s not point fingers!" Zhen Yan insinuated pointedly!

Gu’s father was secretly shocked! Logically speaking, including Mrs. Zhen, all members of the Zhen Family should not know that the child is sick! Did they go to the hospital to inquire about it?!

After thinking for a while, Gu’s father squeezed out a sentence, "...What do you mean?!"

"I mean exactly what I said!" Zhen Yan did not clarify, intentionally beating around the bush with Gu’s father!

Since it was a shiftless midafternoon, it wouldn’t be too bad to deal with this Mr. Gu!

"The child is too young, I can’t take care of him! He must stay with his mother! Even if it goes to court, such a young child will definitely be awarded to the mother!" Gu’s father continued, holding onto a stroke of luck.

"Ha!" Seeing this, Zhen Yan realized that Gu’s father was not giving up until he hit rock bottom! He immediately brought up Mrs. Zhen’s illness! "My mother is ill and can’t take care of him either! Otherwise, we might as well send him to an orphanage! I just don’t know if they will accept him! If they do, each family should pay half the money!"

—

Watching Gu’s father leave with a swirl of his sleeves, Zhen Yan was overjoyed.

Dropping the words "Endure it slowly!", he turned around and went back to the campus.

Zhen Yan had long heard from his mother about the child being extremely fussy; he wished the Gu Family would keep him as long as possible! Because he himself didn’t like the child, solely because he bore the surname Gu...

When Gu’s father returned to the wonton shop, he was about to explode with anger!

He never thought that one day when he wanted a divorce, he would not be able to find Mrs. Zhen!

Did she evaporate from the world?! This damned woman! Absolutely useless in everything!

Giving birth to a child turned her into a mental patient! The child was also complete nonsense! Now they have to make her son stand up for her in a divorce! What’s the point of her living like this?! Why doesn’t she just die!

But the cursing Gu’s father forgot, if Mrs. Zhen really died, his plans for the son would definitely fall through!

No matter how Gu’s father tried to figure it out, he just couldn’t find out where Mrs. Zhen currently was!

A week later, with no other choice, he had to come to the school again to look for someone!

This time he wasn’t looking for Zhen Yan, but told the gatekeeper Grandpa Wang that he wanted to find Zhen Yu!

Grandpa Wang didn’t hesitate! He directly relayed the message—to Zhen Yan!

While waiting, Gu’s father thought that since it was Zhen Yan who went to the hospital last time, maybe Zhen Yu didn’t know anything?! And that dead girl must be very, very eager for her mother to quickly divorce him...

Gu’s father was once again thinking wishfully! In the end, he was just left hanging at the school gate by Zhen Yan!

He waited until the bell for class rang, and Zhen Yu still didn’t show up!

Gu’s father was so angry! Back home that evening, he nagged his daughter for a long, long time, barely managing to swallow the frustration building in his chest!

If it hadn’t been inconvenient to talk in school, he would’ve already had Gu Qing get someone!

——

Since Zhen Yu upset Gu’s father so much, Gu Qing naturally took her father’s side!

Upon hearing that her father wanted a divorce but couldn’t find Mrs. Zhen, she became anxious!

Because she was extremely eager to get rid of her crybaby mentally ill younger brother!

According to Gu’s father’s tone now, if that child really ended up in his hands, there was a fifty percent chance he would pay for his son’s treatment!

How could that be allowed! How could Gu Qing let her future happiness be threatened...

So the next day during the big class break, she made the excuse of a stomachache to ask for leave from the teacher, then quietly snuck off to the broadcasting room alone!

Gu Qing squatted at the door for a while, and when the broadcast exercise music stopped and Zhen Yu turned on the microphone to start the lost and found announcement, she suddenly burst through the door!

"Zhen Yu! Your mom is shameless! She hid and refused to divorce my dad because of her mental illness! Call her back quickly! Don’t shamelessly cling to our Gu Family! Do you hear me? My dad wants to divorce her!"

Gu Qing’s voice was loud enough that it echoed throughout the entire First High School campus!

Initially, Zhen Yu was stunned by the word "mental illness"! Then she suddenly got up from her seat and quickly ran towards Gu Qing!

Gu Qing wasn’t stupid! She shouted from the doorway specifically so she could make an easy getaway!

As soon as she saw Zhen Yu charging at her, without thinking, she turned and ran out of the building, shouting before she left: "Zhen Yu is hitting people! Help! Teacher, help!"

Her scream traveled through the microphone very far...

However! Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst! She couldn’t compare in speed to Zhen Yu, who jogged every morning! In just a few seconds, Zhen Yu had caught up to her and without thinking, grabbed onto the braids on the back of her head!

"Who did you say is mentally ill?!" Zhen Yu’s tone was eerie and terrifying.

Though tears of pain were already in Gu Qing’s eyes, she still defiantly shouted: "Let go of me! Your whole family is mentally ill!"

"Slap!"

After a heavy slap, one side of Gu Qing’s face swelled up brightly.

Zhen Yu continued to ask, "Say, who is mentally ill?"

"You! It’s you! You are the mentally ill one! And your mom! Your whole family is mentally ill!" Gu Qing was still defiant, struggling and fighting with Zhen Yu, and even trying to slap her back!

Zhen Yu’s white T-shirt was pulled out of shape by Gu Qing, but she didn’t even look at it, suddenly giving another slap!

"Slap!"

"Say, who is mentally ill?"

"You! It’s you...sob! Zhen Yu, you %@$&% let me go!... You are the mentally ill one! Sob... I damn well won’t let this go today!" Gu Qing cried, cursed, and yelled all at once, completely disheveled! But she continued fiercely tugging at Zhen Yu’s clothes, trying to scratch her hands and grab her face!

Zhen Yu dodged the hand that Gu Qing swung at her face, but couldn’t avoid the hand that clawed at the back of her hand, immediately causing blood to flow from the scratches of her long nails!

Zhen Yu glanced indifferently and raised her hand to land another slap!

Come on! Let’s hurt each other!!
