Chapter 1910: A Place to Call Home
Ning Shu hadn’t yet finished spending the 100,000 yuan from the An family, but now she had even more money.
Ning Shu intended to buy a house in the city. It was only when she owned a house that she could truly have a place to call home. However, it was difficult to buy a house, so she’d been putting it off.
Sister Li told Ning Shu to put a down payment on the house. After that, the monthly payment would become much easier.
Ning Shu took out the 100,000 yuan from the An family, plus the money she earned in the past two years. It’d be enough for the down payment.
Sister Li asked Ning Shu whether there was enough money and said that if there wasn’t, she could lend her some. Ning Shu shook her head. She had set her eyes on an apartment that was small, but enough for her to live with her child.
Although the apartment was small, the price was high due to its location. Ning Shu paid the down payment and obtained the title deed. Her household registration was also moved to the city.
Now that she had a debt to pay off, Ning Shu worked even harder. She accepted two more cases every month, and gradually more people came to Ning Shu with cases.
Ning Shu wouldn’t take cases where the win rate seemed very low. She needed her reputation of always having successful cases. Besides, some of the cases were obviously wrong or illegal. There was no need to waste time on them.
She had now been in the city for almost three years. When Chinese New Year came around, Ning Shu planned to go back.
In the past few years, Ning Shu hadn’t been in contact with Chen Ning’s maiden family. Nothing good would come from contacting them. Instead, it would just be dragging her down into the mud again. She would just spend a few years working hard.
Although she hadn’t been to Chen Ning’s hometown for a long time, Ning Shu still planned to go back once.
Ning Shu had difficulty buying plane tickets. The Spring Festival caused most of the flights to be completely filled.
Holding Nannan while standing in the familiar city again, Ning Shu let out a long sigh. She found a hotel and dropped off her things in her room.
She went to the mall to buy some gifts before going to the Chen family’s house.
Ning Shu carried two bags, one large and one small, in one hand and Nannan in the other. Nannan was now three years old; she’d soon be able to attend kindergarten.
Ning Shu rang the doorbell, but the door didn’t open even after being rung several times. Ning Shu kept ringing again and again on purpose.
“I’m coming, what are you rushing me for?” A young woman opened the door. She had messy dyed yellow hair and was wearing oversized pajamas with slippers on her feet.
This should be Chen Ning’s sister-in-law, Ning Shu sneered internally.
While Ning Shu was looking at the other person, the other person was also looking at Ning Shu. She looked Ning Shu over from top to bottom, her eyes becoming brighter the more she looked.
This woman was covered in famous brands. The sister-in-law’s gaze was fixed on Ning Shu’s bag, and she coughed before asking, “Who are you looking for?”
Ning Shu didn’t miss the wolf-like glint in her eyes. She handed her the bags in her hand. “I am your sister-in-law, please hold these things for a second.”
Ning Shu walked in and took off her shoes. The woman stared at the shoes Ning Shu removed.
“Sister-in-law?” The woman was stunned for a moment. She didn’t quite dare to believe it. She knew that there was such a woman in the Chen family, but she had left immediately after her divorce and never contacted them.
This woman covered from head to
toe in famous brands was her husband’s older sister?
The sister-in-law was nearly jumping around in excitement. With so many famous brands on her body, she must be very rich.
