Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Class ended in the evening.
Chu Ning’s last lesson was delayed for a while. When she walked to the school gate after class, she found Yan Shen smiling at her from not far away.
“Ah! You’re here!”
Although Chu Ning had repeatedly told herself not to be moved, she was still mesmerized by Yan Shen’s smile.
Especially since this smile was specially for her.
However, in the eyes of the surrounding people, it was enough to be a hot topic that was worth discussing.
Yan Shen actually had lunch with Chu Ning!
Yan Shen actually gave Chu Ning a faint smile after school!
What on Earth was going on?
Chu Ning did not know about this.
All she wanted now was for her taxi to arrive as soon as possible.
After waiting for a few minutes, Chu Ning finally got into the car.
She sat in the passenger seat. Through the rearview mirror, she saw that there was a black car following her from twenty to thirty meters behind.
Sure enough, Yan Shen kept his word.
He really followed behind Chu Ning every day and sent her home!
Perhaps he was still a little prideful, so he did not suggest that he and Chu Ning take the same car back.
Chu Ning also shook her head somewhat helplessly.
Why bother?
What’s the use of following me? If your sister really wanted to deal with me, she would have knocked you to the side of the road.
Moreover, Chu Ning did not think that Yan Shen’s sister could deal with her so easily now.
From how fast her brother arrived to save her that night, she felt pretty safe
It was not until she reached her house door and Chu Ning got out of the car that the black car behind her turned around and slowly left.
What she did not know was that there was another car following them from more than a hundred meters away. It only gradually disappeared after confirming that she had arrived home safely!
After returning home, Chu Ning was a little surprised.
What day was it today? Why did father and mother Chu come back so early?
“Dad, Mom, why did you come back so early today?”
Chu Ning looked at the two people sitting on the sofa, who seemed to be waiting for her. She was a little puzzled.
“Xiao Ning, it’s like this. Since you came back to our home, besides our own family members, you haven’t met your uncles and aunts. Tonight, we booked a table at a small restaurant not far from home. You, your second brother and fourth brother will go. Forget about the few brothers who are not at home. Our family and relatives will formally introduce themselves to you.”
Chu Ning’s father stood up and said a little nervously.
He was really not very willing to participate in such an occasion.
After all, the family wasn’t very close-knit. They were also worried that Chu Ning would care about what others thought of them.
“Okay, no problem. Dad, Mom, wait for me to change my clothes and wash my face. Then we’ll set off, okay?”
Chu Ning accepted it gladly and took this opportunity to get to know her relatives.
Chu Huan had been very well-behaved at home for the past few days. He must have received a double warning from his parents and his second brother, Chu Jing.
After Chu Ning finished tidying up, the family set off from home.
The restaurant they booked was not far from where Chu Ning lived, so they only walked for a few minutes before they reached their destination.
Chu Huan was silent the entire way. Chu Ning, on the other hand, was chatting and laughing with her parents. From time to time, she would discuss some real-time news with her second brother.
Under the guidance of the waiter at the front desk of the restaurant, the family found the private room that they had booked in advance.
At this moment, Chu Ning looked at the time. It was six o’clock sharp.
“Let’s wait for a while. Your uncles should still be on the way.”
Chu Ning’s father looked at them and said.
Another half an hour passed.
The door of the private room was pushed open.
The first person to enter was Chu Ning’s oldest uncle, Chu Yuan. With a beer belly, he looked around. When he looked at Chu Ning’s family, the disdain in the depths of his eyes disappeared.
The second person to enter was Chu Ning’s third uncle, Chu Tao. He wore a pair of glasses and looked quite gentle. He was a civil servant in an administrative unit.
The third person was her fourth aunt, Chu Mei. To Chu Ning’s surprise, her fourth aunt looked very young and fashionable. Judging from her appearance, she was only a few years older than her.
“Xiao Ming, we could have just eaten at home. You didn’t have to spend money for us to come eat here. What happened? Did your family suddenly become rich again?”
Chu Yuan patted father Chu’s shoulder and called him by his nickname. He said with some dissatisfaction.
“Yes, second brother. Our family is so big. How much money do you have to spend? You and your wife will have to work hard for a few days.” Chu Mei also smiled and echoed.
