CHAPTER 640: CHAPTER 639 PERSUADE YOU

"Xiao Yu, come in quickly!" Bai Xue, with swollen red eyes, pulled open the door to the ward and called to Zhen Yu.

But Zhen Yu didn’t hurry in. Instead, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled Bai Xue out from inside the door.

"Ai!" Bai Xue was startled at first, but then she understood.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

"Mm!" Zhen Yu looked somewhat serious, "How’s the discussion going with your family of three?"

"...My mom agrees to move."

After saying this, Bai Xue abruptly bit her lower lip, seeming hesitant to say more.

Zhen Yu didn’t bother with that, she simply pressed on, "When can your aunt move out? What I mean to say is, um...."

"You want to know when my mom can fully recover, don’t you?" Bai Xue took the initiative to speak.

"Mm!" Zhen Yu nodded her head.

"My mom told me that she could be discharged in about a week! But she’ll still need to come back for changing dressings, stitches removal, and the likes. I reckon it’d still take half a month more to get everything sorted out. So I think, why not just wait until our summer vacation to move!"

"Mm! Your idea is not bad! But before moving, we should definitely arrange a new place to stay in advance! What does your mother think... what about the house?"

Bai Xue clicked her tongue twice, "What’s bothering me is this matter with the house! My mom won’t listen to me! I want to just sell our place here and buy a new one in Qi City! But she says that real estate prices have risen so much in the past two years, she doesn’t want to sell! She wants to rent there first!"

As she spoke, Bai Xue suddenly let out a long sigh! She appeared quite helpless!

Zhen Yu could only pat her shoulder, standing bravely and saying, "Let’s go, go inside! I’ll help you convince your aunt!"

Hearing this, Bai Xue was overjoyed! As soon as she entered the room, she loudly said to her mother, "Mom! Xiao Yu thinks I’m right too! We should sell our house here! Let’s go to Qi City and buy a new one!"

Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Mrs. Bai looked surprisingly towards Zhen Yu!

"Xiao Yu?"

"Auntie! Please hear me out first."

Although Zhen Yu felt somewhat astonished by Bai Xue’s eager behavior, she still calmly addressed Mrs. Bai.

"You don’t want to sell the house here because you think the prices will continue to rise, right?"

"That’s right! With the way prices are increasing, selling a few years from now will definitely be much more profitable than selling now!" Mrs. Bai nodded her head.

"But have you considered this! Bai Yong has just started elementary school, and from now until his high school graduation is at least ten years away! Are you planning to rent in Qi City all this time? How much would ten years’ worth of rent cost?!"

Mrs. Bai was taken aback.

Zhen Yu didn’t give her time to continue thinking deeply, but instead added the heaviest weight to the scale of moving.

"And another thing! If real estate prices here in Siying have already soared, what do you think about Qi City’s property market? To be honest with you! If my family were to sell our house now, the price would already be double what it was when we bought it!"

"What?! It has really risen that much!" Mrs. Bai felt like jumping up if she could.

"Absolutely true! And it’s still rising!" Zhen Yu was not afraid to sound alarmist: "A house in Siying could probably still fetch half a house in Qi City. If you wait a few more years, I guess not even a bathroom there will be exchangeable!"

Mrs. Bai: "..."

--

She said what needed to be said, and gave the advice she had to give! What decision Mrs. Bai would make was no longer for Zhen Yu to worry about!

So as the Bai Family mother and daughter discussed matters in the ward, Zhen Yu kept Bai Yong company playing at the entrance of the ward.

It wasn’t until close to noon that Mrs. Fu brought lunch for everyone, and Fu Yu... came along too.

Mrs. Fu’s complexion didn’t look too good! Throughout the duration of a single meal, she had glared at her son quite a few times!

Fortunately, although there were many people in the hospital room, no one was paying attention to her! So nobody noticed her abnormality.

After a interrupted and unhurried meal, Bai Xue did not stay any longer. After giving a few more instructions to her mother and younger brother, she left the hospital directly with Zhen Yu.

What neither girl expected was—Fu Yu suddenly insisted on chasing after them to escort them to the bus station!

Zhen Yu stood silent, neither nodding nor refusing, completely indifferent.

And Fu Yu wouldn’t listen to whatever Bai Xue said!

In the end, it became a quiet trio...

Not until Bai Xue had bought the bus tickets and was about to board with Zhen Yu did Fu Yu suddenly say something again!

"I will definitely get into First High School! See you in autumn!"

Since Bai Xue knew at once that her cousin absolutely wasn’t talking to her, she quickly turned to glance at Zhen Yu.

But she discovered that Zhen Yu didn’t even show the slightest bit of expression, still completely unresponsive!

Bai Xue could only mourn silently for her foolish cousin for a second in her heart.

Then she squeezed out a big smile and shouted to Fu Yu outside the bus: "Go for it! No need to wait till autumn! See you next Sunday!"

---

For Bai Xue’s divine assist, Zhen Yu was inwardly thrilled!

After all, Fu Yu didn’t name names! So she just pretended he was talking to Bai Xue, so what?! Dare him to bite her!

As for cousin, a pig teammate, Fu Yu could only describe his feelings with a meme!

That is—Your opponent doesn’t want to talk to you and throws three pieces of poop at you.jpg

After the girls got on the bus and just found their seats, the bus heading to Qi City slowly started under Fu Yu’s unwilling gaze and left, kicking up dust.

Bai Xue looked back several times vigorously through the bus window and saw that her cousin was still standing there unmoved. She felt somewhat heartbroken and said: "Xiao Yu..."

"Stop!" Zhen Yu didn’t need to hear the rest to know what Bai Xue wanted to say! So she immediately shut her up with her words!

"His thoughts are practically written all over his face! I don’t believe you can’t see it!"

"..." Bai Xue of course saw it! But, after all, that was her cousin! "Can’t you give him a little attention?"

Zhen Yu rolled her eyes expressively, bluntly refusing: "No!"

"Why not? Will you die if you say a word to him?" Bai Xue found it somewhat incomprehensible why Zhen Yu would be so heartless, "After all, we grew up together from childhood, didn’t we?"

Zhen Yu gave her a sharp look, "If I give him attention, he’ll be happy! What about Han Mingyue?!"

"Uh..."

Bai Xue fizzled out.

After quite a while, she spoke cautiously: "I was thinking wrong just now! Should I try to persuade Fu Yu?"

Zhen Yu said indifferently: "Up to you."

Regardless of whether Fu Yu would listen to the persuasion, she didn’t want to interact with him anymore!

Some things, once they happen, they’ve happened! Even if everyone pretends nothing’s wrong, the feeling isn’t the same as before.

It’s like the difference between a flat chest and a cleavage, it’s perfectly fine to be peaceful, so why force it? In the end, the one who gets hurt is still oneself...
