Chapter 151: The Exchange in the Kitchen
Ye Ting’s eyes widened. She hadn’t expected Chu Zhe to ask such a question.
How was she supposed to answer?
When Ye Ting was in the Ye family, she had already made it clear that she wanted to cut off all ties with the Chu family.
Therefore, she now addressed Father Chu Uncle and Mother Chu Auntie.
Of course, she had made it clear to Ye Zhen that the reason she wanted to get close to the Chu family was to take advantage of them.
Also, she couldn’t stand Chu Ning. Even though her living conditions in the Ye family were excellent, she still wanted to continue taking advantage of her brothers’ love for her. Ye Ting didn’t lack love, but she was too greedy — she wanted everything. At the same time, she didn’t want others to be better off than her, especially Chu Ning.
And only by making good use of the Chu family could she deal with Chu Ning more effectively.
“Father knows that I’m celebrating Uncle Chu’s birthday. Before I came, I told him about this matter. He was very supportive of me and even said to me that I’ve resided here for more than ten years after all; he hopes that I can keep in touch with this family.”
Ye Ting lied without changing her expression. Ye Zhen did know about this matter and indeed supported her actions.
However, the motive of his support was not as noble as Ye Ting had said.
“Yes, Xiao Ting, you’re thoughtful. Uncle Ye treats you quite well. This way, we can all be at ease.” Chu Zhe nodded and said with a smile.
He also sighed in his heart. As the eldest brother of the family, he had observed Ye Ting’s character very carefully.
Chu Zhe still regarded Ye Ting as a younger sister, but he knew that the former Ye Ting would no longer return.
Ye Ting’s selfishness and indifference made it impossible for him to compare her with Chu Ning. Even though they both were his younger sisters, Chu Ning’s outstanding performance made him gradually lean towards the latter.
Love was mutual. If Ye Ting had expressed her pure longing for this family after leaving them, Chu Zhe’s impression of her would have changed greatly. Unfortunately, she had not expressed this even once.
“But sometimes I’m bored at home by myself. I can’t even see my brothers anymore,” Ye Ting said, slightly aggrievedly.
Seeing her like this, Mother Chu felt somewhat sorrowful. “Xiao Ting, you can always come back and visit. This family welcomes you at any time.”
“Yes, yes, I know. Thank you, Auntie. Auntie is so nice.” Ye Ting acted coquettishly. She knew that Father and Mother Chu would fall for this trick.
“Then I’ll go to the kitchen to help Sister Chu Ning too.”
After saying that, Ye Ting walked to the kitchen.
“What? Why did you come to the kitchen instead of going to the living room to chat? Aren’t you afraid of dirtying your expensive clothes?” Chu Ning couldn’t help but ask when she saw Ye Ting’s refined appearance.
“Sister Chu Ning, I really didn’t expect you to be able to study so well, look so beautiful, and now, you actually know how to cook. Is there anything in this world that you can’t do?” Ye Ting said with a sigh.
“Oh, right. You are also wealthy. Am I right? Respected Rolls-Royce owner,” Ye Ting changed her tone again and appeared to mock her.
“If you have something to say, say it. If not, just go out. Don’t stay here and hinder me.”
Chu Ning didn’t spoil Ye Ting. Unlike her parents or her brothers, she was still very careful when talking to Ye Ting. If she felt uncomfortable, she would directly refute her.
“Sister, you must think that I came back today to celebrate Uncle’s birthday with some ulterior motive, right? You think this of me, but aren’t you the same? You’re not more noble than me. You’re clearly so rich that you can afford such a good car. Why don’t you give it to this family to improve their lives? Seventh Brother is lying in the ward, but I don’t see you doing anything for him? Although I’m not as rich as you, I still gave him a gift, didn’t I?”
The conversation between the two was blocked by the roaring of the kitchen’s cooker hood. Those in the living room could not hear clearly, but they could hear each other.
Chu Ning looked at the aggressive Ye Ting, and she really wanted to laugh.
Sure enough, her evil intentions had been revealed.
It seemed that Chu Huan had not told Ye Ting that she had helped the Chu family pay off their debts.
Perhaps Chu Huan thought that telling Ye Ting such news would make her feel bad, but this piece of information had brought Ye Ting a lot of trouble.
“I’m different from you. I live here because I like this kind of family atmosphere. As for my car, what does it have to do with you?” Chu Ning replied with disdain.
“Sister’s reason is not reliable. I don’t believe that you can clearly live in a better environment, but yet are staying in this bird cage. You have no motives?” Ye Ting sneered.
