Chu Yue’s face instantly turned several shades paler. Had he heard everything she had just said? When had he arrived? Had he heard her call?

Chu Ge leaned against the wall with a mocking look in his eyes. “Does Li Jing know that you confessed your love to his fourth uncle and were thrown out by his bodyguards? Was the grass prickly? I heard that many women were thrown onto that place. It should have been flattened, right?”

Chu Yue’s breathing stopped as if someone had grabbed her by the throat. When she thought of the embarrassment of being thrown out by the Li family’s Fourth Master that day, her face turned pale. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Chu Ge’s face turned even colder. “Don’t give me that. I won’t be fooled by you again! Give me my sister’s phone number! Or I’ll let the whole country know about this! I’ll show everyone what you’ve done, you so-called lucky star!”

Chu Yue’s eyes were red. “What good will it do me? Do you not want the Chu family’s reputation anymore?”

“Heh! What kind of reputation do you think the Chu family has? I don’t care what kind of reputation you want for what you’ve done. It depends on how you choose,” Chu Ge mocked. He believed that Chu Yue would not give up the big tree that was the Chu family until she found a better backer.

Of course, Chu Yue could not! She was not like Chu Ge, who was the only legitimate son of the Chu family in this generation. She could only turn on her phone stiffly and find Chu Ning’s phone number to give to him. However, only the Li family’s Fourth Master and his personal bodyguard knew about that matter at that time. The Li family would not tell anyone about it. How did Chu Ge know?

Chu Ge saved the number in his phone and noted it as “Sister.” Then, with a sharp look in his eyes, he warned, “Be yourself. Be a mascot who doesn’t cause trouble. Don’t harass her! I hope you know that I’m the heir to the Chu family. If you want to have a better life in the future, don’t provoke my sister again. I can’t change my parents, but can’t I control you?”

Chu Yue’s face instantly turned pale! How could Chu Ge do this to her? If it weren’t for her, would Chu Ge have been born safely? He would have died a long time ago. He…

Chu Ge threw her a warning and left. He stared at his phone and hesitated for a moment, but then he typed a message and sent it: “Sister, this is Chu Ge. Have you found a place to stay with Dabao and Xiaobao? If not, Fenghua Hotel belongs to my friend’s family. Shall I arrange for you to stay there?”

The message was sent. Chu Ge felt a little nervous. Surely what he said would not hurt her pride?

Chu Ning glanced at her phone, surprise flashing in her eyes.

How did Chu Ge get her contact information? But she replied. [I found it. No need.]

Chu Ge copied his WeChat ID and sent it directly. [It’s good that you found it. Sister, this is my WeChat ID. Can you add me? It’ll be easier for us to chat than texting.]

Chu Ning frowned and didn’t reply this time. Because she was thinking… what was WeChat?

Five minutes later, Chu Ning received another message: “Sister, it’s fine if you don’t add me on WeChat. If you’re short of money, tell me. I have it.”

Chu Ning was cleaning up the room with the two children, so she didn’t see it. She was cleaning the table with a small cloth while Xiaobao cleaned the floor.

After cleaning up, Chu Ning looked at the old-fashioned furniture in the room and was very satisfied. The arhat bed, antique frame, and small rosewood were all very exquisite in style and age. It was obvious that it was made by a master. It had a long history and could be sold for an astronomical price. She only spent 500 million to buy this courtyard. She had definitely made a profit!

However, in order to buy this courtyard house, she had gone bankrupt. She did not keep any savings. She could not help but pick up her phone to check her balance again. She saw the message from Chu Ge.

Then she looked at her balance: $245.

Chu Ning rubbed her forehead, copied her bank account number, and sent it to Chu Ge: [A hundred thousand first?]

After sending it, Chu Ning sat at the carved Eight Immortals table. She narrowed her eyes and wondered if her brother would treat her like a swindler, right?’ Then, she added to her previous message. [Just joking. Lend me 10,000 dollars.]

However, the more Chu Ning looked at it, the more she felt like a swindler. She probably couldn’t borrow the money anymore. However, she realized that her master was the one who hated hearing this from her the most. Now, he was really right. She didn’t have any money! After hesitating for a while, she decided to call that old man. She didn’t believe that he didn’t have any money!

But… the phone’s not working!

Dabao and Xiaobao looked at each other with serious expressions. Grandpa had blocked Mom again!
