386 Unforeseen Event
“Who is she trying to scare? If she’
s so capable, then go and shout in front of Xu Xi. I don’t think she’d dare to!” Xiaomi said, upset.
Although she didn’t know Xu Xi’s exact identity and background, she was sure that he was powerful.
“Xiaomi, you don’t have to worry. Ye Ting won’t do that,” Chu Ning said with a smile.
“She dare do that!” Xiaomi raised her fist in protest.
“Alright, read your books and prepare for class. Lessons are about to start,” Chu Ning said as she looked in Yu Yan’s direction.
Yu Yan was very quiet. She seemed to have changed into a different person after being taught a lesson by Chu Ning.
She was no longer arrogant and proud. She even took the initiative to take on some of the class’s cleaning activities, such as sweeping the floor and wiping the blackboard.
She also kept a low profile when communicating with her classmates, as though she was a different person from when she had first started school.
“The new student in your class is quite interesting. She’d already expressed her love for Yan Shen before she had even arrived. But now, she’s sitting opposite Xu Xi and hasn’t even initiated a conversation with Yan Shen,” Luo Yu said smilingly as she looked towards where Yu Yan was eating.
“Xu Xi doesn’t seem very willing to talk to her.” Yan Shen also looked in Yu Yan’s direction. Yu Yan was talking to Xu Xi, but Xu Xi was just having a casual chat.
If his uncle hadn’t told him several times not to show Yu Yan any disrespect, he wouldn’t have bothered to pay attention to this rich girl.
“Yan Shen, are you feeling better?” Chu Ning, who was eating with her head lowered, suddenly asked.
“I’m feeling better… But I’m fine?” Yan Shen was about to reply, but he put on a confused look.
“As expected,” Chu Ning thought to herself.
Yan Shen was having some health problems.
People would only subconsciously blurt out their true inner condition.
Chu Ning wanted to ask this question out of the blue, but Yan Shen answered that he was much better, which confirmed her thoughts.
“Huh?” Luo Yu looked at Chu Ning beside her and then at Yan Shen. For a moment, she didn’t understand what the two were talking about.
“It’s nothing. Let’s eat, today’s braised cod is really good.” Yan Shen seemed to have realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and abruptly changed the topic.
“What’s your secret code?” Luo Yu asked with a smile.
Chu Ning didn’t reply and simply lowered her head to eat.
She would only have the time and energy to check on Yan Shen’s health condition after she had overcome the pressure she was experiencing during this period.
Chu Ning had too many things to deal with currently, and Zhou Hao wished that Chu Ning would collapse as soon as possible.
During the afternoon class, just as Chu Ning was wondering whether she should request for leave, her phone suddenly vibrated.
The school rules of Jingyuan High School were very strict — students were not allowed to bring their phones into class — but the school rules did not restrict Chu Ning.
After waving to the teacher, Chu Ning went to the corridor and called Chu Jing.
Chu Jing knew that Chu Ning was in class at this time, but he still chose to call her. It was obviously something important.
While waiting for the phone to ring, Chu Ning felt uneasy.
Thinking of how Mother Chu had spoken to her in a soft voice the previous night, Chu Ning’s face turned pale after coming up with some possibilities.
“Second Brother, what happened?” Chu Ning hastily asked as soon as the call was connected.
“Xiao Ning, is it convenient for you to take leave now?” Chu Jing asked somewhat hesitantly.
After hearing her second brother’s words, Chu Ning’s heart skipped a beat.
Other than her second brother Chu Jing’s voice, she could also hear the sound of crying and talking.
“It’s convenient. Second Brother, first tell me what happened.” Chu Ning continued to ask.
“If anything happens to my family, even the Zhou family won’t be able to protect you!” Chu Ning thought that Zhou Hao had been up to something again.
“It’s like this. Grandpa has passed away. If you can take a leave of absence, it’s to go back with us for the funeral,” Chu Jing finally explained what had happened.
“Alright, let’s leave it at that. I’ll be back immediately.” Chu Ning hung up the phone.
She didn’t need to ask for leave. All she needed to do was send a message to her teacher-in-charge, Lin Hao.
For some reason, Chu Ning felt relieved when she heard Chu Jing mention her grandfather’s death.
Chu Ning had never met the grandfather Chu Jing was talking about, so she had no feelings for him.
However, since a direct elder in her family had passed away, Chu Ning naturally had to go back for a visit.
When she reached the door of her house, Chu Ning heard the sound of crying coming from within.
