Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 917 - 916: Left to Fend for Himself

The night turned, and it was March 1st, the traditional start date for primary, middle, and many universities.

On this day, not only did Zhen Yan officially start school, but Bai Xue, who arrived in the capital a day early and called Zhen Yu, also started. Oh, right! And Lu Huai! He also started school on this day.

Since the next day was the weekend! For the other three university students, this day was just about paying fees and collecting books, and they didn’t start classes directly.

So, Bai Xue made an appointment with Zhen Yu over the phone, planning to bring Lu Huai to catch up with Zhen Yu on Friday night.

Conveniently, after this week of school, Zhen Yu had accumulated a lot of new Hanfu orders eager to be shipped, and she also had to discuss a new online store partnership with Bai Xue, so she agreed.

The day passed quickly, and when Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue returned home after making dinner, there was a knock on the living room door.

"Coming, coming!" Zhen Yu, who was serving the dishes, quickly put down the plate, walked over to look through the peephole, and then opened the door.

"Xiao Yu! I missed you!" As soon as Bai Xue entered, she rushed forward to give Zhen Yu a big hug, and while acting coquettishly with a smile, she didn’t forget to direct Lu Huai: "Hurry up! Quickly bring in the goodies I got for Xiao Yu!"

Lu Huai helplessly replied, "Okay!" as he followed her in, carrying a bag in each hand, and placed them on the living room floor just inside the door.

——

"We just went to the supermarket, and this is all filled with what you love to eat!"

Bai Xue said while changing into slippers, her mouth also not resting! After changing shoes, she began poking through the plastic bags.

"Look! I even bought you yogurt! Want to drink one now?!"

Seeing Bai Xue pop the straw into the yogurt bottle with a ’thud’ and offer it to Zhen Yu like a treasure,

Han Mingyue quickly snatched it from Bai Xue and said, "It’s too cold! She can’t drink it now!"

Bai Xue: "Ah?! This is yogurt, not a popsicle, how cold can it be!"

"Oh... you wouldn’t, be..."

Seeing Bai Xue about to blurt out something inappropriate, Zhen Yu immediately pulled her! And asked, "Have you and Lu Huai eaten dinner? If not, join us for a bite!"

"We’ve eaten! We didn’t have much to do this afternoon, so we went to eat as soon as we left the supermarket!"

This was Lu Huai’s reply, and after answering, he went straight to sit on the living room sofa.

It was only under Zhen Yu’s subtle gaze that Bai Xue realized she almost blurted out something inappropriate again.

"Ah, um... you and Han Mingyue hurry and eat! I’ll, I’ll go watch TV!"

After saying this, she left Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue, ran to sit on the sofa, and grabbed the remote.

Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue exchanged a glance at the door, and in tacit understanding, neither spoke immediately.

But when Zhen Yu bent down to pick up a bag of snacks, Han Mingyue held her hand and said, "Let me!"

"Oh, then I’ll go serve the rice."

Zhen Yu obediently found something else to do and went to the kitchen after Han Mingyue let go of her hand.

——

After the meal, the two girls linked arms (Bai Xue holding onto Zhen Yu) and dashed into Zhen Yu’s bedroom.

Sitting face to face on the bed, Zhen Yu directly asked Bai Xue what her plans were for the new year.

"Plans..." Bai Xue breathed a long sigh and then said slowly, "Plan to make more money! The more the better."

Zhen Yu raised an eyebrow, "And modeling?"

"Let’s see! If there are suitable jobs that contact me, I’ll go; otherwise, forget it, there are so many scams online!"

"Hmm!" Zhen Yu agreed with Bai Xue’s sentiment, so after some thought, she suggested, "I have a batch of new samples waiting for you to shoot! You could try talking to the photographer! If he’s willing to introduce you to jobs, you can give him a commission for each one completed!"

Hearing this, Bai Xue’s eyes suddenly lit up!

"Right! How did I not think of that! As long as there’s money, he would surely agree, right?! Then,."

Zhen Yu added, "Then you and Lu Huai should be nice to him! It’s a favor, after all! If you become successful, you could introduce him to jobs, and you might form a long-term working relationship, like I do with him now."

"Yes, yes!" Bai Xue nodded vigorously, "Don’t worry! I’ll definitely talk to Lu Huai well, I won’t let him mess things up!"

Zhen Yu trustedly said, "Alright! You,"

Bzzz—Bzzz—Bzzz—

"Your phone is ringing!" Bai Xue picked up Zhen Yu’s phone, which was charging beside the pillow, and accidentally glanced at it! Immediately she exclaimed, "Teacher Cao?!"

Zhen Yu silently nodded and quickly answered.

——

"Hello? Teacher’s wife? You,"

The voice on the other end was filled with urgency and pain, "Zhen Yu! Old Cao, he, he,"

"What happened to Teacher Cao?" The tone made Zhen Yu sit up straight immediately and ask loudly!

"He left a note and disappeared!" Mrs. Cao said with a sobbing voice, "It’s all my fault! I thought I could delay just a bit longer! Reluctant to directly spend so much money on the spot! In the end, after all this delay, he, he,"

"Please don’t panic! When did this happen?"

This time, Zhen Yu couldn’t stay seated! As she questioned, she began putting on her shoes and heading towards the bedroom door.

"Just now! I’ve been queuing since early morning, and I still couldn’t get a hospital appointment! Finally gritted my teeth and paid a high price! Then I bought some dumplings for dinner, but when I got home, there was no one there! And then I saw, saw that Old Cao left a note! He said he didn’t want to be treated anymore, told me not to look for him! Just let him fend for himself outside! Sob... I’m all alone here in the capital and don’t know anyone to ask for help! Zhen Yu, please help me! Help your teacher’s wife..."

"Teacher’s wife, you should take that letter and immediately head to the nearest police station and report it! See if they can help find him! I’ll also try to think of ways to mobilize friends to help find him!"

"Okay, okay! I’ll go right now!" Mrs. Cao was petrified by the sudden change, but hearing ’ask the police for help’ gave her hope! She quickly got herself together and hurried out with the letter!
