Chapter 26: Pretentious

“You’re such an idiot. I don’t want to talk to you, yet you insist on coming over to make me uncomfortable,” Chu Ning scolded Ye Ting inside. She glanced at Ye Ting, and before she even came, the smell of her perfume had drifted over.

“Fine, do whatever you want. As long as you’re happy.”

Chu Ning didn’t want to have a conflict with her at this time, so she replied indifferently.

The monthly exams were coming up soon, and she didn’t want to cause trouble at this time.

She had to get a scholarship.

“Okay, I believe that Chu Ning and I will become good friends in the future.”

After hearing Chu Ning’s reply, Ye Ting immediately revealed a happy expression. Then, she tried this trick on everyone in the class. Needless to say, it was quite effective, especially when she got close to some male classmates. They immediately signed up without saying a word.

“No matter what, this honey trap works.”

Chu Ning sighed inside. Of course, she wasn’t envious. She disdained these little tricks.

After the day, Ye Ting gradually got to know all the students in the class one by one. On this day, the teachers didn’t start new lessons. There were two days until the monthly exam.

After the end of the evening class, Chu Ning didn’t get on the same bus as Yan Shen. She walked a distance away from the school before hailing a taxi.

Her destination was the supermarket!

Chu Ning intended to return the 10,000 yuan given to her by her second brother, Chu Jing. As for now, of course she was going to spend money!

She didn’t even dare to go to the fresh meat supermarket yesterday. This time, she walked in without looking up.

“Abalone, lobster, imported beef and mutton, king crab…”

She bought all kinds of seafood and expensive ingredients. As long as she could buy them in this supermarket, she bought a little of them.

After buying them all, Chu Ning calculated that she had spent more than five thousand yuan just on these ingredients…

Fortunately, she didn’t have to carry these things back by herself, and she couldn’t carry them either. These things would be sent to the Chu family first.

Chu Ning didn’t stay idle. The next thing she did was to go shopping again!

She used the remaining three thousand to buy clothes for her parents, Chu Jing, and Chu Huan. On average, each of their clothes costs more than 900 yuan. Although they weren’t designer clothes, at the very least, their clothes were from mid-level brands. Chu Ning was guessing that they didn’t have a decent set of clothes either…

When Chu Ning returned home, her parents and Chu Huan had returned.

“Huh? It’s only six o’clock today. Why are they all back?”

Chu Ning saw a large foam box placed at the door of her house. She knew that the seafood she had ordered from the fresh seafood supermarket had arrived.

However, she saw her parent’s nervous expressions. Chu Huan’s expression became even more unfriendly when he saw her return.

“Chu Ning, where did you get the money to buy seafood?!”

When Chu Huan saw Chu Ning, he looked displeased.

Before Chu Ning could greet them, Chu Huan was the first to question her.

Chu Ning ignored him and only smiled sweetly.

“Dad, Mom, fourth brother, you’re back!”

“I’m asking you a question. Where did you get the money?! Our family can’t afford such high expenses!”

Chu Huan continued to question her relentlessly.

“I bought some clothes for you all too.”

When Chu Ning entered, she didn’t close the door. She came back with the staff of the clothing store.

“Here are your clothes,” she said with a smile.

“Okay, put them on the table first. Goodbye!”

After saying that, Chu Ning closed the door.

At this time, both Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu were silent. They were also waiting for Chu Ning’s explanation.

“Chu Ning, I knew it. On the surface, you’ve returned to our family, but in reality, you’re probably still reluctant to part with the Ye family, right? Using the Ye family’s money to curry favor with us? We disdain it!”

Chu Huan said with a straight face.

Chu Ning was hesitant as she said, “This money…”

However, before she could finish speaking, her second brother, who had always been more of a recluse, walked out of his room.

“I gave this money to Xiao Ning. Chu Huan, you don’t have any objections, right?”

Chu Ning looked at Chu Jing in surprise. She didn’t expect that her second brother would take the initiative to help her out.

Although Chu Huan and Chu Ning were always against each other, they didn’t dare to talk back to their second brother. Their second brother treated all his younger brothers equally. When he was young, he was cared for by his second brother, Chu Jing, and his eldest brother, Chu Zhe, who were like fathers to him.
