Chapter 651 - 651 Ribbing
651 Ribbing
Early in the morning, Chu Ning stretched. There were not many things to do now, and the important matters had more or less been resolved. It was rare for her to have some free time.
When she walked out of the room, her parents, Chu Jing, and Chu Huan were sitting at the dining table for breakfast.
“Xiao Ning, you’re not busy today?” Mrs. Chu asked with a smile.
Without waiting for Chu Ning to speak, Chu Huan said sarcastically, “Yeah, such a busy person can still eat at home. It can’t be that her business has failed?”
Chu Ning didn’t want to argue with him. There was no need to ruin her good mood for him.
Chu Jing couldn’t stand it. He put down his chopsticks, slamming them on the table and making quite a commotion. Chu Huan, who was feeling smug, was shocked. “Chu Huan, what did I warn you about? Have you forgotten?”
Chu Jing’s tone was stern. Chu Huan did not dare to speak. Although he was most afraid of his Big Brother in this family, he did not dare to resist when an honest person like his Second Brother was angry.
“I didn’t forget, Second Brother.” Chu Huan suddenly wilted.
Chu Jing glared at Chu Huan, and his tone filled with impatience. “Then watch your mouth. You’re making things difficult for everyone so early in the morning. I think you miss Big Brother.”
Chu Jing’s last sentence was almost a threat. He had never spoken to his family in this manner before. It was just that Chu Huan had targeted Chu Ning again and again because of Ye Ting, that hypocrite. Chu Jing could not accept it.
Moreover, Chu Ning had even given up her blood and sweat to save Chu Huan, yet Chu Huan still did not know what was good for him. This made Chu Jing even more disappointed in Chu Huan.
It was rare for Chu Huan to hear Second Brother’s threat. This time, he didn’t dare to speak anymore. He lowered his head and ate his food obediently, not daring to make a sound.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu saw this scene and did not step in. They, too, felt that Chu Huan had gone overboard. Why did he keep targeting Xiao Ning? They did not stop him from treating Ye Ting well. However, Xiao Ning was his biological sister and had led the family to better horizons. She had even saved him and Seventh Brother. Chu Huan being this way was really outrageous.
The old couple hid their disappointment towards Chu Huan. Mrs. Chu smiled and scooped some porridge for Chu Ning, telling her to eat more.
Under the protection of her parents and Second Brother, Chu Ning did not take Chu Huan’s provocation to heart.
After dinner, Chu Ning went to Second Brother’s room. She hadn’t had a good chat with her second brother for a long time. She didn’t know if his equipment was still working. After all, electronic equipment was updated too quickly.
Chu Ning was chatting with Chu Jing when the phone in the living room rang. Chu Ning quickly walked over to answer the call. “Hello? Bai Hong? What’s up?”
Bai Hong said briefly, “There’s a plan. Your fifth brother is picking you up from downstairs. Come quickly.”
After saying that, the call was disconnected.
Chu Ning was confused, but she still changed and went downstairs after informing Chu Jing.
As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Chu Yang’s car parked downstairs. Chu Ning strode over and got into the car. She closed the door and asked, “What’s up, Fifth Brother?”
Chu Yang’s expression was solemn as he asked the driver to start the car. “Xiao Ning, we’ve come into contact with the biggest gang in M City.”
Chu Ning was flabbergasted. Chu Yang’s forces had not fully developed, and now was not the best time to confront the underworld leaders of M City.
“What happened?” she asked hurriedly. “Man-made or accidental?”
Chu Yang shook his head. “I haven’t read the information yet. It’s just that Bai Hong suggested that I look for you and tell you about this. I didn’t want you to get involved.”
Chu Yang was a little worried. After all, the battle between gangs involved fights and annexation. He was very worried that Chu Ning would be injured.
Chu Ning didn’t say anything. She was just wondering why Bai Hong wanted to look for her. What was the plan?
The car drove very quickly. Bai Hong was waiting in Chu Yang’s office. Chu Ning saw him as soon as she entered.
Bai Hong stood up and waited for Chu Ning and her brother to sit down. He sat down as well and said simply, “That gang used to belong to the Rongwei Group. Now that they’ve changed their structure, they’ve gradually become independent. As long as the Rongwei Group is in trouble, that gang will definitely go to support them. It’ll be much easier for us to take action.”
Only then did Chu Ning understand why Bai Hong wanted to look for her. However, this was too much of a coincidence. She smiled and told him about the bet between her and Zhou Wei. When she saw the shocked and relieved expressions of the pair, she beamed even more happily.
Chu Ning lamented. “It seems like it’s not just dog-eat-dog. There’s also black-eat-black. I’m killing two birds with one stone. Haha!”
