The dinner ended without any proper conversation between the brothers and sister. Chen Yu didn't mind them as she finished the dinner only talking with her parents, ignoring them completely.
"The dinner was delicious… Xiao Yu can cook very well," Chen Li wanted to strike up a conversation with her.
"Thank you," she killed the conversation on the spot as she nodded her head.
'Damn! Why is it so hard to talk with my own sister? It's even harder than talking with Chen Mo!'
They sat in the living room together as they needed to discuss how Chen Yu was going to live with them. Especially her school fees and living which the Chen family can't afford, so it was a matter of thorough discussion.
They knew that Chen Yu always lived in the Wen family in luxurious style, and they couldn't afford such high - end things for her. She can't get used to their simple living so easily. So the parents were a little flustered.
But only Chen Yu knew how she lived in the Wen family. So she wasn't bothered by this situation. Her current condition was far better than when she lived there.
Father Chen felt ashamed to talk with her about the family condition. So as the Eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Mo took the lead to talk with her.
"Ahem… Yu'er. As you can see, our family is in a bad condition. We can't take care of our everyday needs, we can't afford money to pay for our school fees. All of us brother and sister are still students. So, it will be difficult for you to live here. Are you sure you can do well here?" Chen Mo looked up at her after saying, only to meet her cold eyes that were looking at him. But she retracted them quickly, leaving him in a daze.
'Just now, did I see them wrong?'
Then Chen Yu didn't respond to him. Instead, she looked at her Mother saying, "Mom, if you are thinking about how to pay my school fees and my expenses, then don't worry about this."
"I already negotiated with the Wen family and they already paid school fees till the last year I read. And for my living, I'm also going to earn money by myself, so you don't have to worry about this as well," Chen Yu shrugged as if this wasn't a big deal.
"And also, you can see that I'm good at housework. So it's not inconvenient to live here. I want to live with Mommy. Mommy, you won't abandon Yu'er, right ?," she looked at Mother Chen with her big puppy eyes.
'Heh heh, No one can resist my ultimate weapon 'Cute Attack!''
Indeed, Mother Chen melted when she looked at her dear daughter pleading with her not to abandon her.
'This is a serious crime, why is my daughter so cute!'
'No, I'm not letting anyone snatch my daughter away from me!'
"Alright, Yu'er is going to live here, this is the last decision," Mother Chen protected Chen Yu in her arms like a hen protecting her chick in her wings.
Chen Yu was also happy. So she nudged and wiggled in her mothers arms like a kitten, acting cute. This Mother- Daughter love made the Chen brothers almost go blind.
Everyone was astonished by her declaration. Although she was able to finish her school fee by using the Wen family, how will she earn money?
"Earning money is not something you can do easily. How are you planning to do this?" Chen Yang sighed as he asked her.
"That's right. You don't have to earn money, us brothers will take care of this. All you need to do is to study hard. You are still a student." Chen Li also added to his brother.
" What your brothers said is right. We will take care of other things," Father Chen also supported the Chen brothers.
Chen Yu was a little puzzled when she saw them acting somewhat differently. They never cared about Chen Yu, now what was that?
"I understand," Chen Yu didn't want to talk with them, so she ended the conversation.
'Forget it, whatever they say has nothing to do with me. I'll do my works as per my plans from before'
" I'm sleepy, I'll go back to my room first. Goodnight, Mom, Dad," Chen Yu made an excuse so that she can go back and prepare for her work. But she didn't greet her brothers before leaving.
The Chen brothers also noticed it, but they didn't dare to say anything.
"Alright, goodnight, see you later. Have a good rest," Mother Chen smiled and waved at her daughter affectionately.
When she was gone, Mother Chen urged the Chen brothers to go back to their room as well.
At night,
Chen Yu wrote till 2 am, then she finally stopped and put down her pen.
'So much work just for one day, so frustrating!'
'If I continue writing for a week, it will be complete, then I can start my money making business,' she thought as she rolled around on the bed.
'Just stay here and raise them until they are capable enough, then leave and start my own business'
'I don't want to get entangled within them, staying away from them will be the best solution for this. Let's stay away from everyone and make money!'
While thinking about all this, Chen Yu slowly fell asleep. But unbeknownst to her was that her brothers were still awake and planning on how to coax her.
***
The Chen brothers used a big room, one where all of them could live together. There are four beds and everything is separate, so they can use their things frequently.
Right now, all of them sat together in a serious meeting about their younger sister, who came back after twelve year and was acting strangely.
"Did you see how she ignored us at dinner before?" Chen Xi said frustratedly.
"She has changed indeed. And the change occurred after she came back from the hospital," Chen Li answered while thinking about Chen Yu's behavior from earlier.
"Yeah. She changed while she woke up in the hospital. She started to act this way," Chen Xi frowned.
Chen Mo, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. I was at the hospital at that time. She acted hostile to Wen Yue as well," Chen Xi explained to them.
"I still remember the memories of her first day here. She tried to call us brother, but we denied. And she fell in the pool not long after that. Wen Yue was the one who pushed her," Chen Ying finally spoke out in a deep voice.
"Only If we crossed in two days before… sigh," Chen Mo sighed, regretting about the past memories of the original owner.
