Chapter 129 - Undercurrent

“I don’t think it’s realistic.” Chu Jing said awkwardly, after pausing for a few seconds.

“Alright, then we have to just take it slow.”

Chu Ning sighed. She also understood that her parents would not agree to move here, but she still held onto a glimmer of hope. What if?

Chu Ning and Chu Jing chatted for a while more before ending the call.

The villa was massive, and each room was spacious. Chu Ning felt that it was alright to live here alone occasionally, but it wouldn’t be too good if she stayed here over a long period. Although the living conditions here were good, it did not have the feeling of home.

Chu Ning came to the master bedroom on the second floor. This was the room that she was going to live in. The master bedroom was connected to a washroom. This washroom was even larger than the bedroom she lived in in the Chu family’s house. It was also equipped with a huge bathtub.

After filling the bathtub with water, Chu Ning lay comfortably in it. This was the most comfortable bath she had had since leaving the Ye family.

“Tomorrow, I’ll go to the car dealership to purchase a car. Then, I’ll get treatment and surgery done for Seventh Brother. I’ll use the rest of the money to do business,” Chu Ning thought as she hummed a little tune.

As for the specific business, Chu Ning had not thought of it yet, but she was not in a hurry. The one thing that she was not lacking at the moment was time.

…

At the same time, in an office on the top floor of a commercial building in the center of M City.

A sexy lady in a business suit was crossing her long legs. She was looking at the photos in her hands. Her exquisite face revealed no emotion, but anyone who knew her character would know that she was currently in a foul mood.

The reason was naturally due to the stack of photos in her hands.

After a long time, she finished looking at all the photos she held. She gently pulled open the desk drawer and placed them inside.

Then, she opened her red lips slightly and said, “Do the two of them have any other private activities?”

“No, CEO Bai. Other than the collaboration for the school’s Dragon Boat Festival Gala, according to my investigation, the two of them do not spend any other time together except in the library.”

The middle-aged man who was standing before the lady was bowing

slightly as he respectfully reported the results.

“Moreover, it’s not a private activity in the library. It should be a class activity,” the man added.

“Okay. I got it. You did a good job. You can leave now.” The lady sitting on the sofa waved her hand after listening, indicating that he could take his leave.

“Yes, CEO Bai.” The man straightened his back and slowly left the office.

“Chu Ning, I was curious about what kind of charm you have to make Xiao Shen follow you around. Now, it seems that you are quite attractive. However, simply being beautiful is not enough. I have seen too many beautiful girls, but without exception, in the face of power and wealth, they are mere playthings, at the mercy of others.”

The lady stood up. Her high heels stepped on the thick wooden floor, making a loud thud. She walked to the enormous floor-length windows, overlooking the night view of the distant M City.

As the vice president of the gigantic Yan Corporation, it was natural for her to stand at a height.

The transparent floor-length windows reflected her enchanting face. She was blessed with good looks, not inferior to Luo Yu’s. However, her temperament was incomparable to high school students’.

She was the domineering female CEO depicted in novels.

“Chu Ning, I hope your next performance won’t disappoint me,” Bai Ya whispered softly as though she was speaking to herself. Her gaze that looked off into the distance gradually turned cold.

…

Chu Ning was unaware that a new crisis had quietly enveloped her. She had already showered and was lying on the bed looking leisurely at her phone.

Chu Ning looked at her recent contacts and decided to ask someone to accompany her to buy a car the next day.

“Xiaomi, are you free tomorrow? Accompany me to buy something.” Chu Ning found her deskmate Xiaomi’s chat box and typed.

“Oh? The big star of Jingyuan High School still needs to purchase things in person?” Xiaomi immediately replied. Her speed of replying made Chu Ning wonder if she was constantly prepared to reply.

“Xiaomi, do you need to be taught a lesson? How dare you talk to me like that?” Chu Ning also threatened mercilessly.

“How would I dare? What’s your social status? I’m just an ordinary student.”
