"Second brother, you..."
Chu Huan's expression changed. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but in the end, he didn't say them out.
After Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu heard Chu Jing's explanation, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
They were worried too!
If this biological daughter that they had spent so much effort to get back was still loyal to the Ye Family, how were they going to deal with this?
"Fourth brother, you've gone too far. Xiao Ning isn't as bad as you think."
The second brother was a little straightforward. Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu weren't people he could lecture, but he could say it.
However, Chu Ning felt helpless. She planned to return the money to her second brother at night. It seemed like she had to give it to him in advance. The money that Chu Jing had given her was still locked in her closet!
"Second brother, come with me."
Chu Ning tugged at the corner of Chu Jing's clothes, indicating for him to come with her.
Chu Jing followed Chu Ning to her room. Chu Ning carefully took out a stack of brand-new red notes from the closet and handed it to Chu Jing.
"Second brother, I didn't spend the money you gave me. I can earn money now. To tell you the truth, I earned nine thousand dollars just by tutoring them last night. You know, the students of Jingyuan High School are all rich. They willingly gave me so much money."
Chu Ning smiled and explained to her second brother Chu Jing.
"Xiao Ning, you are too amazing."
Her Second Brother, who had always been composed, was a little surprised. This speed of earning money was much faster than his current speed...
"I'm very capable. Let's go. I bought clothes for you guys. Let's see if they fit. If they don't fit, we can return them."
After Chu Jing left the room, he looked at Chu Huan again, but his gaze returned to calmness.
Chu Huan's heart skipped a beat.
Based on his experience of living with his second brother for so many years, Chu Jing was very angry.
"Look, she didn't spend a single cent I gave her. This money was earned by Xiao Ning staying up late last night to tutor her classmates," Chu Jing said expressionlessly as he waved the money in his hand.
"Sigh... Fourth Brother, you really should reflect on your recent actions."
Chu Jing said these words before he returned to his room.
Chu Huan, who was sitting on the sofa, was left behind. He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
"Mom, can you help me? This seafood is a little troublesome to deal with, but we have to eat it now. If we didn't eat it soon, it will spoil."
Chu Ning didn't care about Chu Huan's hostility at all.
Everyone had a scale in their hearts. She, Chu Ning, just had to do her best.
"I'm coming. I'm coming."
Mrs. Chu didn't react until Chu Ning called her twice.
When she passed by Chu Huan, she even gave him a reproachful look.
Mr. Chu coughed heavily too. He picked up the newspaper to cover up his embarrassment.
In the kitchen.
Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Ning apologetically and said, "Xiao Ning, I'm sorry,. I..."
"Mom, it's okay. Don't mention it again. It's just a small matter. Let's eat this crab first."
Chu Ning didn't let her continue.
Mrs. Chu felt guilty, but at the same time, she felt a sense of relief.
She felt guilty because Chu Ning was used living in luxury. Once she returned home, she had to suffer along with them, but she still didn't complain. Instead, she was optimistic. She was glad that she had such a sensible daughter. As a mother, she had no regrets.
Halfway through cooking, Chu Ning didn't forget to run out and remind them, "Tonight's dinner might be served a little late. You guys have to bear with it."
Then, she sent a message to the three tutoring groups: "Let's postpone the tutoring session for an hour. It will start at nine o'clock."
In less than ten seconds.
Xu Xi and the other two replied and sent some emojis to please Chu Ning.
"I, Chu Ning, will earn money standing up!"
As she cooked, she felt invigorated.
Tonight's dinner was very luxurious. When Chu Ning brought the dishes to the table, the aroma filled the entire room.
Chu Ning guessed that before she came, the Chu family might not have eaten such high-class and luxurious dishes before. Not to mention eating, they probably hadn't even seen it before... They were poor! It wasn't easy for a family of eight children to be able to survive to such an age.
"Hey, where's my fourth brother?"
Chu Ning asked. She realized that only her second brother, Chu Jing, Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu were present, but Chu Huan was in the room and didn't come out.
"Forget about him. Let's eat first," Mr. Chu said.
