625 Reaching a Common Understanding
Yang Feng smiled in satisfaction. Chu Ning stood up as soon as she finished speaking. “Since we’re partners, I’ll be off first. President Yang’s words hit the nail on the head — I should spend more time with my family. If you have any countermeasures, just let me know. I’ll do my best.”
After saying that, she did not stay and directly left the private room. She did not have the time to scheme with them. This alliance was loose and would break at the slightest touch, but it could bring some trouble to the real Zhang Rong. It would be much easier for her to get those few pieces of land. It just so happened that Yang Feng would not be targeting her.
On the way back to the Chu residence, Chu Ning received a call from her second brother, saying that he had found a clue.
She stepped on the accelerator and drove back to the the Chu residence. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Chu Jing sitting on the sofa, holding a document and looking at her with a smile.
Chu Ning looked at Chu Jing elatedly. The look of confirmation was obvious. Seeing Chu Jing nod, Chu Ning went forward and hugged him tightly. “Second Brother, thank you. I’m really grateful to you!”
Chu Jing returned her hug. “What’s there to thank me for? We’re siblings. There’s no need to thank family.”
Chu Ning’s nose tingled when she heard his words. Second Brother had always treated her well and taken care of her in his own way. This was the feeling of family.
She received the information from Chu Jing and found that the person was actually in B City. She had changed her name and was not doing well now. Her only son had passed away, and her granddaughter was still in junior high. The family’s income was only enough for day-to-day expenses. Fortunately, her granddaughter’s academic performance was excellent, and the school paid for most of her tuition fees. Even so, they were struggling to survive.
Chu Ning was worrying about how to bring her to Minister Niu and his mother when she suddenly received a call from Yan Shen. “Yan Shen? What’s wrong?”
Listening to her crisp voice, Yan Shen said in a soft tone, “Are you going to B City? Accompany me to relax?”
Chu Ning’s eyes lit up. Could this Yan Shen be a mind-reader? She had just found out that the person was in B City, and he invited her to B City for a vacation. It was really fate. Now, she could first meet that person and slowly think about what to do. “Since you’ve already invited me, I’ll definitely give up my life to accompany you!”
Yan Shen couldn’t help but laugh. “I can’t bear to let our President Chu sacrifice herself. I’ll pay for all expenses. You’re a busy person, so you just need to accompany me to take a look around B City.”
“Got it, Boss!” Chu Ning joked. “I’ll be on standby whenever we need to set off!”
Hearing the undisguised excitement from her tone, Yan Shen, too, felt indescribably joyful. “Let’s meet at the station tomorrow morning.”
Chu Ning readily agreed. However, when she hung up the phone, she thought of the change in Yan Shen during this period of time and could not help but wonder if he really had some terminal illness. However, if he wasn’t willing to tell her, she wouldn’t force him. Everyone had their own secrets. If he told her, she would try her best to help.
Next, she had to prepare to go to B City. Chu Ning was not in a hurry to pack her things. She also had time to chat with Chu Jing. “Second Brother, how are Mom, Dad, and Seventh Brother recently?”
Chu Jing looked at her dotingly. “Mom and Dad are still the same, but they’re not as busy as before. They’re just worried about you and are afraid that you’re too tired, so they want you to rest more. Little Seven is even better. When he was in the hospital, he never fell behind in his studies. Now, his life is on the right track. You don’t have to worry about him.”
It had been a while since Chu Ning had stayed at home for such a long time. She had found a solution regarding Minister Niu, so she could temporarily be at ease. She simply went to the market with Chu Jing and bought a lot of vegetables and filled the table with dishes. When Mr. and Mrs. Chu came back, the family sat down and happily had a meal together.
After dinner, Chu Ning’s parents chatted with her for some time until Chu Jing came out of the room and said that Chu Ning had to go to B City with her classmate the next morning. Only then did Mother Chu let go of Chu Ning’s hand and tell her to pack her things and go to bed early.
Chu Ning listened to her parents’ ramblings of concern. The feeling of being loved wrapped around her like a warm current. Even when she lay in bed and was about to sleep, she still felt blissful.
