Chapter 146 - Chu Zhe's Embarrassment

“Because I haven’t seen you for such a long time, it’s possible that you may have some good news for us now that you’re back.”

A brilliant smile blossomed on Chu Ning’s face. She was in a fantastic mood at the moment.

“Yes, Big Brother. How’s your work? When Third Brother came back previously, he said that he was going to become a big star soon. Big Brother, are you going to start a company?” Chu Huan joined in the conversation.

“No. I’m not sure if Xiao Zhuo has become a big star, but I’ve just joined a company. I’m just an ordinary employee.”

Chu Zhe shook his head. He felt that Chu Huan was a little whimsical. Even though he was a post-graduate from a famous university, it was not easy for him to achieve something as soon as he had stepped out into society. He was not a rich second-generation person.

Chu Zhe had always had a very rational way of looking at things, approaching things seriously. Moreover, he was cheerful and had a high emotional intelligence. This was also one of the potential factors that would lead to his success in the future.

“Oh, but I believe in you, Big Brother. You will soon be able to overcome all obstacles and surpass those around you. In the end, you will become a big boss. Then, our family will be led to glory under your leadership!”

At the end of his speech, Chu Huan could not help but stand up and make a triumphant gesture.

“Okay, you have to work hard as well.” Chu Zhe smiled and nodded, but his gaze remained on Chu Ning.

Regarding this sister of his, other than doting on her, Chu Zhe did not want to use his social experience to test out Chu Ning’s background.

His family held a crucial position in his heart, but he was also very worried about the source of Chu Ning’s huge wealth.

He only had one sister.

Chu Zhe had never understood how Chu Ning had accumulated so much money, so he was a little worried, and reasonably so.

Besides celebrating their father’s birthday, his other purpose for returning home was to understand Chu Ning’s situation.

Chu Zhe would of course not be like Chu Jing, stubbornly believing that Chu Ning’s disappearance was the work of Ye Ting. Ye Ting did not have the audacity to do so.

Chu Zhe was a meticulous person, so it was hard for him to accept such a fact.

The mysteries surrounding Chu Ning continued to grow.

“Of course I’ll work hard. I’ve already saved up enough money. I’ve long prepared a birthday present for Dad!” Chu Huan said with some pride.

“Not bad, that’s worthy of praise.” Chu Zhe nodded his head approvingly.

After chatting for a while, their parents returned.

Although the couple had received news of Chu Zhe’s return in advance, they were still overjoyed when they saw their eldest son once more.

Father Chu only greeted Chu Zhe before sitting on the sofa and smilingly reading the newspaper. However, the corners of his mouth continually rose. Without a doubt, he was quite satisfied with his eldest son.

After Mother Chu had seen Chu Zhe, she kept asking him all kinds of questions and even forgot to cook dinner for the family.

Seeing this, Chu Ning rolled up her sleeves, put on her apron, and walked into the kitchen.

More than an hour later, Chu Ning had prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone.

At the dining table, Mother Chu was still talking non-stop, “Xiao Zhe, you’re not young anymore. Now you’ve graduated and have a stable job. I called you previously; do you still remember Auntie Chen’s daughter?”

Unlike Chu Ning’s teasing, Chu Zhe had to answer this question properly. It was difficult to avoid it.

“Mom, how many years have passed? How can I still have an impression of her? Moreover, I just started working and don’t have much savings. Even if I were willing, she wouldn’t be. I can’t let my other half live a life without material security, right? Also, we’re all grown up now. What happened when we were young has long been buried in the depths of our memories.”

Chu Zhe’s face blushed slightly when he heard Mother Chu’s words.

The girl that Mother Chu mentioned had had a good relationship with him when he was very young. At that time, Mother Chu had joked with the other party’s mother, saying that she hoped that the two of them could be together in the future, and Auntie Chen had happily agreed. But now, it sounded more like she was reminiscing about their childhood.

Chu Ning was indeed very interested. She did not expect her brother to have such a past.

Chu Huan said directly, “Mom, just say it. Brother is usually very dignified in front of us. I don’t even know what happened to him when he was young, and he never tells us.”

“She hasn’t forgotten about you. Don’t think I don’t know. You have her contact information, and your Auntie Chen doesn’t mind our family background. The main thing is that the young lady has told her about you; she has her eyes on you and no one else.”

Mother Chu said with a serious expression.
