章節 5: Her New Life
編輯: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Chu Ning turned around and sized up the room.
To be honest, this was the largest out of the three rooms in the Chu family.
All the daily necessities in the room were new. Although they weren't expensive and couldn't compare to the ones she had used before, she could feel the goodwill of the Chu family. When she sniffed the bedsheets carefully, she could smell a faint fragrance... Clearly, Mother Chu had washed them again.
This room was completely blocked by the building.
However, the traces of Ye Ting's past life still existed.
There was a note stuck on the desk and a closet filled with stickers.
Chu Ning was curious. She opened the closet to take a look. Above her line of sight, there were many dolls and some exquisite ornaments.
She didn't know if Ye Ting had taken some with her before she left. Was it because she couldn't bring the rest, or she didn't care about these gifts at all? But no matter what, she still felt a tinge of jealousy in her heart.
In her previous life, she did not have to worry about food and clothing, but very few people gave her gifts, and no one remembered her birthday. Every year on her birthday, her parents would call her and greet her, even giving her a lot of money, but usually, she rarely communicated with them, and she who had stayed in the school dormitory since she was young had been used to all of that.
She longed for true family affection, not just on the surface.
While she was recalling the days before she had crossed over, there were sounds of conversation coming from outside the door. Even though they lowered their voices, Chu Ning could still hear the content of the conversation clearly if she listened carefully.
"Should we tell Xiao Ning about Little Seven...?" Mother Chu's face was full of worry as she asked the group of people who were sitting together.
"I think it's better not to say it! Just pretend that Xiao Ning doesn't have a brother. After all, she just came back. How will she be able to live with herself if you say that? We've let her down for so many years. Do we still have to put so much pressure on her?"
"Mom, I, got the money, Little Seven's..." Before the second brother Chu Jing could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by his fourth brother.
"Second Brother, don't talk anymore. Once you complete your sentence, I'm afraid this matter might not even be settled by tomorrow morning."
Fourth Brother snorted after he spoke.
He obviously didn't like his new biological sister very much.
Before Chu Ning, there was another brother who was one year older than her. However, he had had an accident when he was young and his lower body had been paralyzed. He couldn't recover... He had been living in the hospital all these years. If it weren't for Father Chu's brother, Uncle Chu's help from time to time, it was hard to say whether this Little Seven of the Chu family would still be alive...
"Mom, I'll think of something."
After the third son of the Chu family said this, he walked out directly. Then, there was a 'clang' sound, and the door was slammed shut.
"Sigh, it's our fault. Back then, we had insisted on having a daughter..." Mother Chu sighed. Then, she looked at Father Chu and realized that he had a weird expression on his face. She then looked solemn and stopped talking.
"Dad, Mom, Little Seven's treatment fees can't be cut off. In my opinion, we should just let her drop out of school early and go out to work. We can't afford her school fees!"
"Brother, stop talking." At this time, Chu Zhe, who saw that the atmosphere was getting increasingly tense, quickly came out to smooth things over.
"I just graduated this year and I have about eighty thousand dollars on me. I was thinking that since I graduated, there will be more ways to earn money soon, so I wanted to leave this money for Fourth Brother and Xiao Ting to go to school. Now that Xiao Ting has left, naturally, I'll leave it to Chu Ning."
"Big Brother, you..."
"Shut up, Chu Huan!"
The fourth son of the Chu family was about to speak, but he was immediately stopped by Chu Zhe.
"I.... Saved more than 50,000 dollars too." Second Brother Chu Jing explained anxiously. He adjusted his glasses and was a little nervous.
"If only Xiao Ting was here, there wouldn't be so many things." When Fourth Brother heard that everyone except him had turned their attention to the new Chu Ning, he immediately changed the direction of the conversation to divert everyone's attention.
"Fourth Brother, stop It!" After hearing this, Chu Zhe could no longer suppress his emotions. His voice could not help but rise by a few decibels.
When Chu Huan saw that his big brother seemed to be angry, he immediately shut up. He had seldom seen his big brother so angry in all these years. He was not even afraid of Father Chu, yet he was respectful only towards this big brother of his.
