“Thank you, Mom. ” Chu Ning smiled sweetly. Then, she picked up the bowl of oatmeal porridge and took small sips.
She knew that it was time to get down to business.
Sure enough, the second brother, Chu Jing, who had always been quiet, opened his mouth at that time. “Mom, Ye Ting didn’t come here just to see Little Seven. She also has something to trouble you and Dad with, ” Chu Jing said softly.
Chu Jing was very clear about Ye Ting’s character. He didn’t like Ye Ting very much since he was young. That selfishness that came from the bottom of her heart made him a little repulsed. However, when he was young, Ye Ting was the spoiled child of the entire family. Even if he was a little dissatisfied, he wouldn’t say it out loud. Moreover, he would always protect her. After all, he also saw Ye Ting as his biological sister.
However, ever since Chu Ning came to the house, when the two of them compared, Ye Ting’s past shortcomings were instantly revealed. Especially after that incident, where he felt that Ye Ting had sent people to harm Chu Ning, in his heart, he had no good impression of Ye Ting at all.
He also called Ye Ting by her full name.
“What’s the matter with Ting’er? Is she not used to living with the Ye family? ”
Chu Jing’s mother’s first reaction was whether Ye Ting had been bullied in the Ye family. She thought that perhaps, apart from visiting Chu Zhang that day, she also told him about the grievances in her heart.
“No, Mom. Ye Ting is living very well with the Ye family. That can be seen from the fact that she can easily take out a sum of money to buy a tablet for Little Seven. ” Chu Jing hesitated for a moment, but he still opened his mouth to explain.
“Then what is it? ” Mother Chu asked with some doubt. In her simple worldview, since Ye Ting was so rich and living conditions so superior, then what else would her former daughter need their help with?
Chu Ning sensed that her second brother didn’t want to talk about it, so she continued, “Mom, it’s like this. Isn’t our school going to hold the Dragon Boat Festival next week? If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Ting will be one of the hosts of the Dragon Boat Festival. There will also be a voting session for the hosts. The one with the highest number of votes can become Jingyuan High School’s image ambassador and will be printed on the brochure. She wants to invite you and Dad to go together. Your vote will be equivalent to a judge’s seat. Being the school’s image ambassador’s very important to her. ”
“Ah, that’s a good thing. Then… ” Chu Ning’s mother also reacted after hearing Chu Ning’s explanation, but then she felt a little awkward.
On one hand, she really wanted to help Ye Ting, and she knew that Father Chu would have the same attitude as her.
But on the other hand, she felt that she and Father Chu were just ordinary people. Was it really appropriate for them to attend an aristocratic school like Jingyuan High School as Ye Ting’s parents?
And more importantly, the couple was very concerned about Chu Ning’s thoughts.
If the two of them were to attend the Dragon Boat Festival as Ye Ting’s parents, how would Chu Ning feel?
Mother Chu was in a dilemma for a moment.
She opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.
“Mom, you and Dad should just go. I was planning to visit Xiao Ting, too! ” Chu Huan said indifferently.
He did not think too much about it, and he did not understand the dilemma that Father Chu and Mother Chu were feeling.
Mother Chu still did not know what to say. She really did not know how to decide.
“Mom, why don’t you and Dad go? I might be performing at the Dragon Boat Festival. It would be a pity not to go. Besides, Ye Ting is also your daughter. If you don’t agree, she will be sad too, ” Chu Ning said in a child-like manner. She was quick-witted and naturally was not like Chu Huan. She knew that Mother Chu was in a difficult position and that the problem was very easy to solve. As long as she nodded her head and agreed, it would be fine.
Sure enough, after Mother Chu heard Chu Ning’s words, she nodded her head gently.
“That’s good. Xiao Ning, it’ll be good if you can perform on stage as well. I hope you can become the festival host, just like Xiao Ting, ” Mother Chu said.
“No Way! Mom, do you think there are many spots as the female host? It’s only two among all the girls in the school. Ye Ting and Luo Yu have already been chosen. I’m not interested in it, so why would I join in? ” Chu Ning complained in her heart, but she didn’t blame Mother Chu. After all, she didn’t know much about the matter.
“Mom, I might show my face at the Dragon Boat Festival, but I might not be able to perform. As for the host role, I’m actually not good enough in terms of appearance, ” Chu Ning said carelessly. Anyway, she just didn’t want to participate.
