When Chu Ning wanted to clean up, prepare to wash the dishes and tidy up the house, she was rejected firmly by Mother Chu.

“You and your big brother should go for a walk too. Maybe you can run into your third brother and familiarize yourself with this area.”

“Second Brother, do you want to go for a walk together?”

Chu Ning did not insist anymore. She smiled sweetly and looked at her simple and honest Second Brother who was in a daze.

“No, I... I...” Chu Jing seemed to know his shortcomings, so he pointed at his room directly.

“Second Brother is all focused on his computer. If you hadn’t come back today, he probably wouldn’t have stepped out of his room.”

Chu Zhe smiled and said with a hint of ridicule.

“Okay, let’s head out and take a look then.” Chu Ning left after saying goodbye to her parents.

...

The district where the Chu family lived was called Dongyuan District. It had been built very early on. Not far away, construction was ongoing for a new district in the works.

Chu Zhe and Chu Ning walked one after the other. Her brother said, “The situation at home is as you can see. Although you haven’t met your fifth, sixth and seventh brothers yet, they’re all decent people. What’s more, you’re our biological sister after all.”

Chu Zhe’s last three words, biological sister, were especially emphasized.

“Fourth Brother just can’t bear to part with Ye Ting. He can’t hold anything in and likes to express them in that carefree manner of his. Xiao Ning, don’t take it to heart. Whether it’s Dad, Mom or us, in our hearts, we still treat Ye Ting as child and sister. After all, we’ve lived together for eighteen years... But don’t be sad. There shouldn’t be any grudges between us. I’ve said so much to you because I hope you won’t think too much about this. If you have any thoughts, you can tell us too.”

After Chu Ning heard this, she shook her head lightly.

“I won’t, Brother.”

What kind of joke was this?

She had already graduated from university in her previous life, what bad thoughts could she have? Why would she have to compete with a child who was a few years younger than her?

“Okay, let’s go look for your third brother. He might have gone over there.” Chu Zhe pointed in a direction.

Chu Ning was not familiar with the surrounding environment, so she did not show off. The two of them passed through the construction site and walked for more than ten minutes. Finally, they arrived at a nice-looking open scenic spot.

The sky gradually darkened.

Not far from Chu Zhe and Chu Ning, Chu Zhuo was sitting on a bench. Beside him sat a graceful figure.

“What?! No way, Ah Zhuo, how could something like that be a mistake...”

The woman sitting next to Chu Zhuo was surprised, and her tone of voice could not help but become a little higher.

“Don’t be so surprised. I didn’t want to believe it either, but it’s the truth.”

Chu Zhuo tilted his face slightly. Under the dim light, his girlfriend was once again attracted by his deep and handsome features... Although it was not the first time, she could not help but be deeply immersed in them and could not extricate herself.

“Ah Zhuo... I...”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Zhuo was like the campus hunk. When he took a leave of absence from school once he heard the news, his infatuated girlfriend had bought a train ticket overnight and came here. Even though Yi Su was a goddess in the eyes of others, Chu Zhuo didn’t have much interest in her. The reason why he was in a relationship was to have an excuse to reject countless girls’ confesses.

As she spoke, Yi Su leaned on Chu Zhuo’s chest, her fingers gently twirling around his abdomen...

Chu Zhe and Chu Ning were not in a hurry to look for Chu Zhuo. They just strolled around the scenic area of the park, the two of them chatting casually.

“When we were still young, the house was most lively at that time. We often came here to play. But later, me, Second Brother, and Third Brother all went to study abroad. Your Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother were born with a bad temper and couldn’t stay at home, so Fourth Brother and Ye Ting stayed with our parents the longest. Do you understand now?”

“Big Brother is right. If I were them, I wouldn’t have been able to bear it either.” Chu Ning said while nodding in agreement.

“Oh dear... I didn’t expect you to be so reasonable and magnanimous growing up in the Ye family’s environment. As your big brother, I’m the one who really thinks too much.” Chu Zhe flexed his joints, and said wistfully.
