Hearing the mention of Fourth Master Li, Matriarch Chu froze. She subconsciously looked at the ring in Chu Ning’s hand and recalled what Fourth Master Li had said…
Nothing was mentioned about Chu Yue’s marriage to Li Jing. Did the Fourth Master of the Li family and Li Jing leave just like that? On the other hand Chu Ning, that jinx, stayed. Matriarch Chu was unable to accept this reality. How could Fourth Master Li take a fancy to this jinx?
The butler was also dumbfounded. He did not understand how Chu Ning, who was not even worthy of the noble Young Master Li Jing, could be fancied by Fourth Master Li.
Chu Zhongxing and his wife felt even more complicated.
Chu Yue had not recovered from the shock. She looked at the Chu family’s door in a daze.
Chu Ge was also stunned.
The entire Chu family was very quiet. The atmosphere was very subtle.
After an unknown period of time, Chu Ge was the first to react. He looked at Chu Ning and said, “Sister.” He still could not believe that the Fourth Master of the Li family had really become his brother-in-law. It all seemed like a dream! But the black ring in Chu Ning’s sister’s hand reminded him that all of this was very real! He took a deep breath and walked towards Chu Ning.
Chu Ning raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at him.
Dabao frowned. So did Xiaobao.
However, before Chu Ge could take a few steps, the expressions of the old man from the Chu family and He Shushen changed at the same time. Their voices trembled as they said, “Chu Ge!”
Chu Ge said nothing.
He knew what they were worried about, but he felt terrible. “Grandma, Mom, I’m just going to see my sister! She’s my biological sister!”
Old Madam Chu’s face was extremely pale. She took a deep breath and said, “Chu Ge, don’t say anything. Come back quickly. Come to Grandma.”
He Shushen did not continue to speak, but her expression was ugly. She nodded at Chu Ge to come back quickly.
Chu Ning curled her lips slightly. “Child, hurry up and return to your grandmother’s side. I’m still jinxed. If you get close to me, you’ll die!”
Seeing that there was someone in the Chu family who looked more pleasing to the eye, Chu Ning’s tone softened a lot.
Dabao’s brow furrowed. Xiaobao even snorted and glared fiercely at Matriarch Chu and Madam Chu. “Mommy isn’t a jinx!”
Chu Ge was still looking at his adorable chubby nephew and niece. He smiled warmly and said, “Well, your mother is not a jinx.”
He would have liked to say something to his sister, but his throat had become tight. In the end, he couldn’t say anything. It was as if all his words of comfort had paled, and any words of concern were so powerless. Seeing his sister’s breezy manner, as if she didn’t take any of this to heart, he hoped she was as unconcerned as she appeared.
Chu Ning looked coldly at Madam Chu and Mr. Chu, her so-called biological parents, and mocked, “The engagement with Li Jing has been canceled. What else do you need me to do?”
The Chu couple were stunned beyond words.
They thought that if Chu Ning knew that she had an engagement with Li Jing, she would definitely not break off the engagement. Moreover, this engagement had to be broken off. They had even discussed it for the entire night and had already decided to use both kindness and force today. After the engagement was safely broken, they would send her back to the mountains.
A woman who had been rejected by the Li family would be condemned. No noble family would be able to marry her. That was as far as she could go in her life. Besides, she had two illegitimate children with her. Coupled with her poor fate, it was impossible for her to return to the Chu family.
However, they never expected that not only did Chu Ning agree, but she also automatically broke off the engagement. What was even more unbelievable was that she was actually fancied by the Fourth Master of the Li family and became the fiancée of the Li family’s heir!
After hesitating for a moment, He Shushen asked with an unnatural expression, “Have you really thought it through?”
Chu Ning stared at her and said nothing.
He Shusheng’s breathing was a little erratic. She said in a panic, “Fourth Master Li is not a kind person. Have you thought carefully about getting engaged to him?”
Chu Ning sneered and looked at her indifferently.
He Shusheng felt a little embarrassed by Chu Ning’s gaze. From Chu Ning’s current attitude, it was obvious that she hated her and the Chu family. If Chu Ning really married the Fourth Master of the Li family and had the power of the Li family, she would definitely deal with them! Besides, what was Chu Yue going to do? A noble family would not let two sisters from the same family marry an uncle and nephew. That would be a mess of seniority! They would not allow such a bad thing, let alone the Li family, the number one noble family.
“Do you know what the Li family is like? You don’t know anything!”
Chu Ning asked in a cold voice, “Oh? Then tell me.”
