“After the discharge procedures are completed, you still have to rest for a period of time. Then, you can undergo surgery. I’m really looking forward to you standing up.”
Chu Ning spoke as she peeled another tangerine. The ward in the afternoon was a little warm, but the air conditioner was turned on.
Chu Ning felt that the tangerine was very sweet, and so did Chu Zhang.
After leaving Chu Zhang’s ward, Chu Ning had already contacted the best hospital in M City. At this time the next day, Chu Zhang would no longer be here.
Father Chu’s birthday was in two days. Chu Ning planned to tell Father and Mother Chu the good news on that day.
It was already past five o’clock when Chu Ning returned home. Chu Jing and Chu Huan were both around.
For once, Chu Jing was not typing on the keyboard in the room. He was playing with the fidget spinner in his hand with a smile on his face. He looked as though he was in a good mood. Chu Huan, on the other hand, looked unhappy. When he saw Chu Ning return, his face turned even darker.
“Xiao Ning is back.” Chu Jing greeted Chu Ning cheerfully.
“Yes, Second Brother, I’m back. Oh, Fourth Brother is home, too?” Chu Ning pretended to be surprised.
“Hmph, why can’t I be at home?” Chu Huan said sullenly.
Ye Ting had complained to him once more. She had painted Chu Ning’s various behaviors at the Dragon Boat Festival Gala in an exaggerated manner.
Of course, they were all negative.
In Ye Ting’s words, Chu Ning was simply rotten to the core. She bullied her using various methods, and her heart was incomparably dark. Moreover, she was good at deceiving others and was very scheming, so Chu Huan had to be wary of her and not be fooled by her appearance.
“Of course you can be home. I was just asking. Fourth brother, why are you so agitated?” Chu Ning smiled.
She was in an excellent mood that day. She had just received a huge sum of more than 20 million yuan, and then she had made it such that Ye Zhen was unable to do anything to her. She had also settled the matter concerning Seventh Brother. So now, when Chu Ning looked at Chu Zhang, she actually felt that it was rather cute.
She knew that Ye Ting must have said something to Chu Huan, but she did not care. Even if the two of them joined hands, Chu Ning could easily overcome it. From a certain point of view, Chu Huan was not as useful as Ye Ting…
“Can’t you get along with Ting’er at school? Why are you so petty? Why do you have to go against her all the time?” Chu Huan questioned angrily.
“I’m sorry, Fourth Brother. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have upset Ye Ting. I’ll reflect on myself,” Chu Ning said with a relaxed expression.
Chu Huan had even thought of what he should say next. After all, the way Ye Ting had cried on the phone with him had made his heart ache too much. And the culprit behind all this, Chu Ning, now looked very relaxed and at ease.
But Chu Ning’s sudden compromise caught him off guard.
So he did not say the subsequent words of reproach. His mouth was agape and he was a little dumbfounded.
In his impression, Chu Ning was not like this?
How did she become so easy to talk to?
Chu Huan did not know that Chu Ning had suddenly became rich that day. He was secretly happy that he had earned 300 yuan after a hard day’s work. Even just the interest generated by the bank for a year for Chu Ning’s current property was similar to what he would earn after working for many years…
“It’s good that you know!” Chu Huan spat and turned on the television in the living room.
He had to use such behavior to cover up his embarrassment.
This was the first time since Chu Ning had returned to the Chu family that Chu Huan had gained the upper hand in a conversation with her.
However, Chu Huan did not feel happy at all. He felt that Chu Ning had deliberately given way to him.
Chu Ning did not bother about what Chu Huan was thinking. She still had to go to the library to tutor the students of Jingyuan High School later.
At the beginning, Chu Ning’s goal had been to make some money. Now, it was more to fulfill the contract. She would still do her best. However, it was completely different from her initial starting point; she was no longer short of money.
Upon returning to her room, Chu Ning took out her phone. She had already filtered the densely packed requests for tutoring, and wrote in the group chat, “Tonight at 6:30, the usual place. Everyone, bring your study materials and don’t be late.”
A few seconds after the message had been sent, more than 90% of the people in the group chat had replied, “Got it.” They were like soldiers in formation, awaiting Chu Ning’s orders.
