He Shushen felt anxious that she could not get a hold on Chu Ning. She could only explain, “The Li family is the top noble family in the country. Even the royal family has to be polite to them! The Li family’s foundation has been passed down for hundreds of years. Do you think you have the right to have anything to do with the Li family?”

Chu Ning smiled. “In that case, his conditions are really good.”

When He Shusheng heard this, her face turned pale. Chu Ning was here to disgust them! She glanced at the two children. She did not know their names at all and said directly, “Even if you don’t think for yourself, what about your children? What will the Li family think of the two children who don’t know their father is? If they go to the Li family, they will definitely suffer!”

“Why hasn’t Madam Chu been so considerate of me in the past twenty years?” Chu Ning’s cold eyes looked at He Shusheng with a faint smile.

Her eyes seemed to see through He Shushen, and she understood what she was thinking. This made He Shushen very uncomfortable. It was the embarrassment of having her thoughts seen through, especially by someone she didn’t care about at all. After a long time, she said stiffly, “Fourth Master Li isn’t the father of the children after all. The two of you aren’t suitable. I’ll definitely help you choose a good marriage so that you won’t have to worry for the rest of your life. According to your conditions, it’s already very good if you can find someone who doesn’t mind. I hope you’ll do well.”

Chu Ning laughed heartily, but her voice was extremely cold. “Then I’ll have to trouble Mrs. Chu.”

He Shusheng pressed her chest. Did Chu Ning think that she couldn’t tell that she was mocking her? Didn’t she have a clear understanding of her own status? She took a deep breath and said angrily, “You should think about it yourself. I’m doing this for your own good. Don’t be ungrateful.”

Chu Ning looked at her. “Since you’ve said that, do you need me to make a banner to thank you?”

He Shusheng’s expression turned even uglier, and his voice trembled slightly. “Chu Ning! Don’t go too far! Look at your status. Where did you get the courage to boast? You should be grateful that the Chu family spared your life back then. Look at your attitude now. We’ve already done our best for you. What else do you want?”

Chu Ning lazily looked away. “I’m really sorry. I came from a mountain ditch. I don’t have much knowledge, nor do I have much upbringing, nor do I know what it means to be grateful. After all, I have parents, but they have not brought me up! However, I learned today that abandoning my biological daughter is like throwing a pair of shoes. Does a daughter have to thank her parents for not killing her? Do I have to thank you for your benevolence? I understand. I’ll learn from you in the future!”

When He Shusheng heard Chu Ning’s sarcasm, she was so angry that his face turned pale. “You… Look at you now. Even if you enter the Li family, you’ll be chased out sooner or later. Don’t look for us then! Don’t say that you’re related to the Chu family. We can’t afford to lose face!”

Chu Ning couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with the Chu family anymore. As if she didn’t hear He Shushen’s hysteria, she looked down at his two cute babies. “Let’s go.”

Dabao looked at his mother seriously. “Mommy, I suggest you do a paternity test with them. I don’t think we’re related to them by blood. We’re different from them!”

Chu Ning’s voice was soft. “Okay, Mommy understands.”

Xiaobao held her hand tightly. “Mommy, don’t be sad. You still have us! I’ll pretend to be a little piggy for Mommy!”

Chu Ning reached out and pinched Xiaobao’s chubby face. “Aren’t you underestimating me too much? Am I the kind of person who can be abused?”

Xiaobao shook her head and said cutely, “Mommy is super awesome! And super beautiful. Handsome Uncle likes her!”

“You guys! Let’s go.” Chu Ning patted Dabao and Xiaobao helplessly and dotingly before leaving with the two children.

Old Madam Chu and Chu Zhongxing looked darkly at Chu Ning’s arrogant and smug expression! Did she really think that she could change her fate with the Li family? Dream on! How could a country bumpkin who knew nothing compare to the daughter of a wealthy family?

Chu Yue came back to her senses and no longer looked worried. With Chu Ning’s personality, even if she could really enter the Li family, how many days could she survive? Chu Ning was an idiot who had never seen the world. Did she think that the Li family was just a rich family? That was even more important than the royal family’s rules!

However, Chu Ge could not help but shout, “Sister Chu Ning, Fourth Master Li said that he would come to propose marriage. It’s not convenient for you to stay outside alone with two children. Besides, it’s not safe, right?”

These words reminded everyone in the Chu family.
