Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Photo

Yang Yun was delighted when Father Yang agreed: "Dad, thank you, you’re always so good to me."

"You, since you know I’m good to you, you should strive to do better! You’re already in your twenties, you can’t always live under your parents’ protection. You went to the army for just a few days and came running back complaining, how does that work? Don’t you want a bright future?"

Yang Yun couldn’t care less, laughing: "Of course I want a bright future. You and mom only have one daughter, I have to bring honor and glory for you both, but I’ll try hard, and you have to treat me well too!"

Father Yang was startled at first, then smiled faintly: "Yes, we only have you. Who else would we be good to?"

Yang Yun didn’t notice her father’s expression and looked back at the kitchen: "Smells so good! Are we having fish soup? Let Yang Zhen come over. Doesn’t she like fish?"

"The school isn’t close. Don’t bother."

"No! You know she doesn’t get to eat well at the dorm. Uncle and Aunt live far away."

"You’re quite concerned about her. Go call her."

Yang Yun hummed a tune as she went to make the call. She didn’t really like Yang Zhen but found her cousin weak and useless. She looked down on her softness but felt a sense of satisfaction from it, like inviting her for a meal, a feeling of charity, and Yang Zhen always said nice words that coaxed her into a good mood.

This satisfied her vanity and made her parents and grandfather think she was a kind person.

Yang Zhen received Yang Yun’s call. She didn’t really want to go, it was so cold, and the distance was far, but knowing her cousin’s temper, who knew how much trouble it would cause if she upset her. She depended on her uncle and aunt for many things now, so she cheerfully agreed.

By the time she arrived, Yang Yun was already eating. When she saw Yang Zhen, she pursed her lips: "Came so late, starved to death, not waiting for you."

"No problem. Where’s grandpa?"

"Not home, went to a war buddy’s place."

Yang Zhen felt troubled. Without the old man, she would be bullied unrestrained. Yet, she still smiled and greeted her uncle and cousin before sitting down to eat. Father Yang didn’t feel much about her and just asked a few casual questions.

Yang Yun finished eating first. With nothing to do, she picked up Yang Zhen’s bag: "Got anything good to eat?"

"Don’t touch other people’s stuff!" Father Yang frowned: "You’re not a child anymore, still so immature!"

Despite saying this, he didn’t seem genuinely angry.

"What’s the big deal, sister doesn’t have anything private!" Yang Yun didn’t care at all. Yang Zhen was dissatisfied all night but dared not speak up and let her have her way.

Yang Yun casually grabbed Yang Zhen’s bag, and a book fell out. Along with it, a photo slipped out.

"Whose photo is this?" Yang Yun was curious. Were there two people standing together?

She picked it up and became very angry: "How despicable! How do you know these two people?"

"This was yesterday..."

"You can’t associate with them, I’m so disgusted by these two!" Seeing Yang Zhen had a picture of Sun Chan and Gu Junming, Yang Yun was deeply annoyed and directly wanted to tear it up. She’s never been humiliated like this, all because of these two, and Yang Zhen even had their photo!

"Are you friends?"

"I just met Sun Chan..."

"Even that’s not okay!" Yang Yun shouted domineeringly: "You mustn’t be with them." She reached out to tear.

Yang Zhen was very anxious, quickly stopping her: "Stop it, I picked this up, what if you damage it carelessly?"

Yang Yun didn’t care, she pushed Yang Zhen away, making her stagger and almost fall.

The photo was torn in half.

Father Yang couldn’t stand it anymore; how did his daughter turn out like this?

He stopped his daughter and took the remaining photo: "Enough, don’t act up! Your sister was nearly knocked over by you. What are you trying to do?"

"Who’s letting her be nice with that wretched girl! Dad, look, this is the nasty girl I mentioned before..."

"That’s enough, stop rambling!" Father Yang wasn’t going to talk about catching an adulterer in front of others, shut his daughter up, and planned to return the photo to Yang Zhen.

"Your sister’s immature, don’t take it to heart."

"It’s fine." The photo was already torn, what could Yang Zhen say.

Yang Zhen was never one to fuss much. Just as she was about to take it, she noticed Father Yang frozen, staring at the photo, his hand paused. His expression was strange.

"Uncle, what’s with this girl?"

"Nothing, nothing." Father Yang thought, how could coincidences like this happen, it must be a mistake.

Yang Yun pouted: "What’s so special, just a torn photo." noveldrama

"Stop talking about this! Your sister has to return to school soon, this is getting out of hand!"

"Dad..."

"Enough, don’t we have things to do later? Let your sister eat."

Yang Yun finally stayed silent, Yang Zhen sat to eat, feeling uncomfortable, her cousin increasingly outrageous. But her uncle never intervened; if her grandfather were around, it’d be better. Without him, she’s like a tyrant. Yet her uncle pampered her, it was getting worse.

Still, despite this, many people liked her. Though Yang Zhen was sensible, good at her studies since childhood, her fate was always bad. She chuckled bitterly, truly life is different for different people.

Yang Zhen ate just a small bowl of rice and took her leave.

Yang Yun had to go to the Education Committee on the way, so she got off halfway, without knowing what these two would do. Thus, she missed what was about to happen soon.

As she got off, Yang Yun still instructed her for a while: "Don’t hang out with her."

Yang Zhen only smiled, said nothing, feeling increasingly unfond of Yang Yun in her heart. Forget it, I’ll stay away from her in the future.

Sure enough, at noon, when Sun Chan got out of school, she was again blocked by the same girls from yesterday. They stood a bit away from the school gate but were still on Sun Chan’s way.

There were more girls today, seven or eight of them, their attitudes arrogant, surrounding her together.

Sun Chan held her bag and looked at them: "You don’t want to study anymore, coming here to make trouble again?"

"Haha, besides us few, the rest stopped studying long ago. You can’t threaten us with that anymore."

"Exactly, you brat, you really think you’re special? If you’re smart, give us your wallet! Or else, you won’t end well!" a tall girl shouted.
