Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 - 10 Xu Zhenzhen

"Hmph, Tang Yue, are you not my own sister? How can you be so discouraging?"

Tang Jun grew angrier as he thought about being looked down upon by his own sister.

"If you can get into college, I'll take your surname," Tang Yue teased.

Tang Jun didn't catch on right away and immediately accepted the bet.

At night, lying in bed, Tang Jun realized—Tang Yue's surname was also Tang. Whether he lost or won, wouldn't they both have the same surname?

"Xiao Yue."

A familiar yet overwhelming voice sounded.

The pen in Tang Yue's hand instantly fell; her complexion changed repeatedly as she closed her eyes, only to see images of her entangled with Wu Xinming.

"Xiao Yue, I called you several times, why didn't you respond?" Xu Zhenzhen entered the room familiarly, seeing her doing homework, she immediately said: "Xiao Yue, you haven't finished your summer homework yet? School is about to start, look, the new dress my aunt bought me, isn't it pretty?"

Xu Zhenzhen grabbed her hand and pulled her to look at her new dress.

She had just returned from the county, specifically to show off this new dress; her aunt often brought her pretty dresses, and seeing Tang Yue's envious eyes always made her particularly happy.

Just as Tang Yue was about to push her hand away, Xu Zhenzhen let go, Xu Zhenzhen twirling around, flaunted her new dress and said, "This dress cost ten yuan, my aunt said it's of the best quality and style."

Sixteen-year-old Xu Zhenzhen, tender yet overflowing with youth, had her hair done up in twist braids, her face smiling sweetly yet boastfully.

Tang Yue couldn't help but compare the current Xu Zhenzhen with the one thirty years later, well-preserved Xu Zhenzhen, who didn't look forty-six, with a shapely and curvaceous figure, especially in the places that mattered, more endowed than others.

She always liked to wear fitted dresses, fully showcasing her good figure; back then, Tang Yue had been envious of her.

The scene shifted, again to her and Wu Xinming together.

Tang Yue quickly turned around, sat back down, unwilling to take another glance at Xu Zhenzhen, she took a deep breath, picked up her pen, and buried herself in doing her homework, forcing herself to awake from the betrayal of the past.

Otherwise, she'd be tempted to question her, to ask why she had betrayed her.

When she was pregnant, it was her who repeatedly accompanied her to prenatal check-ups.

When the child was sick, she was the one who tirelessly took care of him.

When the child later went to school, because of household registration issues, couldn't attend a key school, she let the child's household registration be listed under the Wu Family.

Every time Xu Zhenzhen went on trips, she always took the responsibility of caring for the child.

As she herself had no children, she completely treated her close friend Xu Zhenzhen's child as her own. Why, why did she betray her?

'Smack.'

The pen in Tang Yue's hand slapped onto the table, she breathed deeply.

"Tang Yue, what's the matter with you?" Xu Zhenzhen, not understanding, felt Tang Yue was acting almost like a lunatic, even if she was jealous of her new dress, how could she behave like this?

"I'm not in a good mood," Tang Yue said somewhat stiffly.

"What's with taking it out on me if you're in a bad mood?"

Xu Zhenzhen stormed off in a huff, she had wanted to see more of Tang Yue's envious expressions.

"Huh."

Right after Tang Jun walked in from outside, seeing Xu Zhenzhen leaving in a huff, he entered the room to see Tang Yue staring blankly at her textbook, and he said, "Weren't you guys having fun? What are you arguing about?"

"It's nothing," Tang Yue said after several deep breaths, completely calming down.

"Tang Yue, how about we go look for magpie eggs? I found a tree over there with many magpies, there definitely are magpie eggs," Tang Jun felt that Tang Yue was unhappy today, and pulled her to go search for magpie eggs.

"Hey, hey, hey, Mo Siyu, she is my niece, you better not have any ulterior motives," Tang Mingli's voice rang out.

Tang Yue glared at him.

Tang Mingli innocently said, "Tang Yue, don't tell me you've actually fallen for him?"

"..."

Tang Yue was so angered she could spit blood.

Tang Jun jumped down from the tree, protecting Tang Yue behind him, and glared at Tang Mingli saying, "Uncle, what nonsense are you spouting? Tang Yue is going to be a high school student, but she still should call Mo Siyu 'Uncle Mo,' right?"

"Uncle Mo?" Tang Jun defensively looked at Mo Siyu.

"Right, according to our familial hierarchy, it's proper for you to call me uncle," Mo Siyu's gaze rested on Tang Yue, who was behind Tang Jun.

On the way back, Tang Jun kept close to Tang Yue, not letting Mo Siyu get a word in.

The wolf-guarding stance made Mo Siyu feel quite hurt.

Not to mention Tang Yue was Tang Mingli's niece, just the six-year age difference between them made any possibility unlikely!

He, really had no other intentions.

It's just that he felt like this girl recognized him, every time she looked at him, there was gratitude and some indescribable emotions, making him want to ask if they had met before.

Once they got home, Tang Yue felt so frustrated she could hit her head against tofu, wondering why every time she met him, it was always so embarrassing?

"Tang Yue, you aren't really into Mo..."

Before Tang Jun could finish his sentence, Tang Yue knocked him on the head with a chestnut, saying, "Tang Jun, what nonsense are you thinking about in your brain?"
