More than 22 million.

Chu Ning’s current worth.

The moment she had the money, Chu Ning immediately found the school’s finance department’s collection account that she had specially saved previously. After she had carefully confirmed that the information was accurate, she transferred 1 million to the account.

Just a moment later, Lin Hao’s phone call came.

“Chu Ning, where did you get the money? Didn’t we say that there’s no hurry to return the school’s money?”

Lin Hao’s tone was a little anxious. Apparently, after Chu Ning returned the money to the school’s finance department, some of the school’s leaders immediately contacted Lin Hao.

“Mr. Lin, I have money now, so I returned it to the school. Don’t worry, my money is legitimate. You don’t have to worry,” Chu Ning explained with a smile.

“You really don’t have any difficulties? Don’t tell me you sold the villa!” Lin Hao suddenly thought of a possibility and said with some uncertainty.

“No! Mr. Lin, you are thinking too much. This is my money. Then, that’s it. Mr. Lin, I have something on, so I will hang up first!”

Chu Ning didn’t wait for Lin Hao to speak and hung up the phone. She was a little speechless. Did she not have the ability to make money? Did she have to rely on selling the villa?

However, Chu Ning overlooked a fact.

She was not yet 18 years old this year. If Chu Ning looked at it from the perspective of a bystander, she would definitely feel that she was an abnormality. However, when it happened to her, it seemed so natural.

Chu Ning sighed. She still had to come up with a reason. Otherwise, when she returned to school after the weekend, her form teacher, Lin Hao, would definitely come and ask her about it again.

“There’s also Ye Zhen.” Chu Ning thought of the two missed calls from the day prior, and one of them had been from Ye Zhen.

Her former foster father, now Ye Ting’s biological father.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Chu Ning went ahead to dial Ye Zhen’s phone number.

The call was quickly picked up.

“Xiao Ning, how have you been recently?” Ye Zhen took the lead to speak after the call connected.

“I’m not bad. Didn’t you see my state at the Dragon Boat Festival Gala yesterday?” Chu Ning replied with a cold smile.

“I know. I owe you. Your life in the Chu family must not have been very good. That dress last night was very expensive, right?” At the other end of the phone, Ye Zhen asked hypocritically.

“No, I don’t think you owe me anything. Moreover, when I left the Ye family, I already said that from now on, the Ye family and I don’t owe each other anything. Also, I’m doing very well in the Chu family. You don’t have to worry about me. As for that dress, I bought it myself. I don’t need you to bother about it,” Chu Ning replied with disdain.

The younger one couldn’t defeat her, and now the old one had reappeared.

But it was useless to her. She was no longer the same as she was in the past!

“Sigh, Xiao Ning, why do you have to show off? I’m very clear about the family background of the Chu family. You’ve never suffered like that since you were young. Now that you’ve suddenly gone back, how can you adapt to it? How about this? Let’s meet up. I have something to say to you, and at the same time, I’ll give you some compensation.”

Ye Zhen said it as though he was sure that Chu Ning would definitely agree.

Indeed, if it was based on Chu Ning’s personality before she entered the book, she might have accepted it.

But there were no ifs.

In the past, not to mention reaching this stage, she wouldn’t even have been a match for Ye Ting!

Chu Ning knew very well why Ye Zhen wanted to speak to her personally.

It was because Ye Ting was currently already at an absolute disadvantage when crossing swords with her!

“I’m not showing off. Instead, your precious daughter Ye Ting likes to show off everywhere. Also, who said I can’t adapt? Please understand my situation before you negotiate with me. I have a villa of my own, and I don’t lack money at all. If you have anything to say, just say it over the phone. My time is precious, and I don’t want what little compensation you’re offering. I don’t like it.”

Chu Ning mercilessly retorted. From the moment she left the Ye family, she was apathetic towards them.

At the other end of the phone, there was a full ten seconds of silence.

Ye Zhen had never expected that Chu Ning would speak to him in such a manner.

He had originally thought that as long as he offered some benefits, he could compel Chu Ning to compromise, but now it seemed that he had been thinking too much.

“Alright, let’s talk over the phone.” Ye Zhen eventually gave up his fantasy and accepted reality.

The current Chu Ning could sufficiently arouse his attention.
