Chapter 155 - Showdown
Chapter 155: Showdown
“Really? It seems that sister Chu Ning and I really have some tacit understanding.” Ye Ting sat down and decided to first take a break.
At this time, Mother Chu came out to smooth things over. She smiled and said, “Quick, try Xiao Ning’s cooking. Xiao Ting, you may not have eaten Xiao Ning’s cooking before. It’s very delicious, not inferior to the standards of some big restaurants!”
“Okay, Auntie, I’ll try it.” Ye Ting picked up a piece of stir-fried lotus root with black fungus and put it into her mouth.
She tasted it carefully. She had to admit that Chu Ning’s cooking skills were even better than the Ye family’s personal chef.
But so what?
This could not change her determination to embarrass Chu Ning today!
“This dish is really delicious. Sister Chu Ning is really an all-rounder. She has money, does well in her studies, and is beautiful. It makes me look a little bad,” Ye Ting said with a rather sarcastic tone.
“Xiao Ting, you are also very outstanding. You have prepared this small gift for me with great care,” Father Chu hastily said. He was indeed touched by Ye Ting’s visit that day, not merely due to the gift.
Chu Ning continued to endure it. She didn’t know what Ye Ting would say next.
Sure enough, Ye Ting started again.
“No, but I know that people need to know how to share. It’s the only way to improve ourselves. Sister Chu Ning, if a person is already very rich and can even afford to buy a top-class luxury car, but this person is still unwilling to share everything with his family, what would you think of this person?”
This time, Ye Ting went all out, not giving Chu Ning a chance to catch her breath.
“How else can it be viewed? This kind of person is extremely egoistic. She is only concerned about herself. If it were me, I would have used it to help the family through difficult times,” Chu Huan said casually.
Of course, he did not know that the person Ye Ting was referring to was Chu Ning.
If he had known, he would not have said anything. This was because Chu Ning had just paid off a huge debt for the Chu family. Even if Chu Huan did not like Chu Ning, Chu Ning had done an excellent job in handling this matter, and no one could put any blame on her.
Chu Huan also did not think that Chu Ning was a selfish person.
After Chu Zhe heard Ye Ting’s words, the smile on his face immediately vanished.
Ye Ting’s coquettish act had already brought back memories of his past, causing him to be moved by compassion. He was prepared to carefully weigh his feelings towards Ye Ting, but these two sentences from her made his good impression disappear completely.
He had been a little naive.
Ye Ting was openly targeting Chu Ning, and everything that she had done previously had just been a foreshadowing.
Luxurious car? Rich? Selfish?
Ye Ting’s intentions were really sinister to the extreme.
Her goal was to make everyone present completely change their good impression of Chu Ning.
It could be foreseen that if Chu Ning did not speak, Ye Ting would next be telling the story of Chu Ning’s Rolls-Royce.
“Dad, on this special day, I want to tell you something. I wanted to tell you and Mom earlier, but it wasn’t ready at the time, so I’m taking this opportunity to tell you and my brothers.”
Chu Ning also raised the wine glass in front of her and gave Father Chu a toast. Then, she looked around at everyone, continuing, “I’ve transferred Seventh Brother to a better hospital. The medical standards there can be said to be the best in M City. Regarding Seventh Brother’s general rehabilitation surgery, it’s about to begin. These few days, Seventh Brother will also be preparing for this surgery in advance. When the time comes, I’ll still need your signature, Dad. After all, you’re Seventh Brother’s guardian.”
After Chu Ning had uttered these words, the entire living room suddenly fell silent.
Chu Zhe’s face displayed no emotion. He had long guessed it.
However, other than him and Chu Ning, everyone present was very clear about what it actually meant for Chu Ning to dare say these words.
Chu Zhang’s physical problems couldn’t be resolved by some simple procedure. It could be said that, for a regular family, even if they used up their entire life savings, Chu Zhang might not be able to be cured.
That was literally millions in cash!
As for Ye Ting, she was in a complete mess. Why didn’t this script develop according to what she had set up?
