Chapter 150 - Birthday Present
Chapter 150: Birthday Present
When she got out of the car and saw the neighborhood that she had lived in for more than ten years, a hint of disgust flashed across the depths of her eyes.
This was a place that she was extremely familiar with and also a place that she detested.
Compared to the Ye family’s living environment, this place was simply like a slum.
Chu Ning ignored Ye Ting’s reaction and walked quickly in the direction of the Chu family home. She still had to hurry home and cook!
When Chu Ning and Ye Ting stepped into the Chu’s living room, everyone except Chu Huan had a surprised expression on their faces.
“Happy birthday, Uncle Chu. Will you not welcome me?” Ye Ting mumbled, looking at the people in the living room that she used to be very familiar with.
“How can I not welcome you? Xiao Ting, please sit down. This will always be your home,” Father Chu quickly replied after being momentarily surprised.
However, when he said the last sentence, he stole a glance at Chu Ning. When he saw that Chu Ning did not have any reaction, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Ting then greeted the few older brothers at home in sequence.
However, what slightly disappointed her was that her third brother, Chu Zhuo, did not return.
Due to Chu Zhuo signing a contract with a film and television company, he had been too busy recently, so he could only call Father Chu to give his blessings.
As for the other three, each of them had their own special circumstances.
Chu Zhe’s attitude towards Ye Ting seemed to be very gentle. As for what he was thinking, it was impossible to know. Chu Jing’s attitude was cold, but Ye Ting understood that her second brother had always been quiet and taciturn.
Chu Huan was the most enthusiastic. He even wanted to come up and hug Ye Ting, but she cleverly avoided him. However, he did not feel embarrassed at all and continued to smile.
Chu Ning put down her schoolbag and walked into the kitchen. She let Ye Ting have the stage and the opportunity to perform.
In fact, both parents felt a little guilty towards Ye Ting.
It was not that they had treated her badly before. It was more because of the Dragon Boat Festival Gala; they felt that they had not been able to help Ye Ting.
In fact, no matter who the final victor was, they both felt that it was not easy to accept.
On one side was their adopted daughter who they had raised for more than ten years, and on the other was their own daughter. It really was a difficult choice.
“Yes, yes.” Ye Ting nodded. She sat on the sofa obediently, took out an exquisite gift box from her schoolbag, and handed it to Father Chu.
“Here, Uncle Chu. This is the birthday gift I picked for you. I hope you don’t mind.” Ye Ting had bought a watch for Father Chu, which had cost her tens of thousands.
Ever since she had lost to Chu Ning at the Dragon Boat Festival Gala previously, Ye Ting had shut herself at home.
Of course, she wasn’t really shut off. Using the weekend, Ye Ting had finally made sense of something.
To use magic to defeat magic.
If she wanted Chu Ning to submit obediently, she could only find a way to break through using the Chu family.
Chu Huan was the best spy she had in the Chu family.
After Ye Ting understood this logic, she immediately took action.
She knew that Father and Mother Chu were soft-hearted. As long as she kept showing her presence in front of them and acted coquettishly, crying if she had to, she did not believe that the couple would remain indifferent.
When the time came, the powerful Chu Ning would only watch helplessly as she was doted on. There was no way to break through!
As for these brothers, she needed to take it slow.
What gave Ye Ting a headache was that her elder brother Chu Zhe’s IQ was too high, and it was not easy to fool him. And if she wanted to regain a good impression in the hearts of these brothers, she had to make Chu Zhe acknowledge her first!
“No need, Xiao Ting. How can Uncle be alright with letting you spend money? I’m already contented that you came to see me.” Father Chu gently pushed the exquisite gift box back.
For some reason, he didn’t want to accept the things Ye Ting gave him.
“Does Uncle dislike me…” Ye Ting was stunned at first, then said with some grievance.
“No, Xiao Ting. Although you’ve returned to the Ye family to live, this is still your home. You can come back anytime, but you’re still studying now and don’t have the ability to earn money on your own, so Uncle can’t accept such a valuable item.” Father Chu said firmly yet sincerely, shaking his head.
Just when Ye Ting was in a bit of a dilemma, Chu Zhe also spoke up. “Xiao Ting, you spent a lot of money on this gift, right? What did you say to Uncle Ye?”
Chu Zhe went straight to the core of the problem.
He wanted to see how she answered this question.
To a certain extent, Ye Ting’s answer also represented her view of this family.
