498 An Invitation

“Sis, do you dislike my things?” Chu Yuen continued carefully.

“Why would I?” After talking to Chu Yuen, her mood improved a little.

“Here, this is a doll I picked up on the way back. It’s just a little worn out. I saw it placed beside the trash can, unwanted, so I picked it up.” As Chu Yuen spoke, he took out a rubber doll from his pocket and handed it to Chu Ning. He was a little embarrassed.

There was a big box in Chu Yuen’s room, and it contained all the ‘good stuff’ he had picked up.

“It’s quite nice. I like it very much,” Chu Ning said happily as she looked at the rubber doll in her hand. Although it was a little worn, it was very clean.

Chu Yuen must have picked it up and washed it before bringing it back.

“Really?” Chu Yuen’s eyes lit up.

“Of course. You gave it to me. Others won’t have it even if they wanted it.” Chu Ning looked joyfully at the rubber doll in her hand, as if she had found a treasure.

“When I earn money in the future, I’ll buy you valuable gifts.” Chu Yuen’s face turned red after hearing Chu Ning’s words.

He knew that Chu Ning was very rich and that she might not even be interested in ordinary things. However, he had no choice. His food, clothing, and expenses were all Chu Ning’s. He did not have the ability to make money yet.

“You silly child, the price doesn’t matter. It’s fine as long as it’s from the heart or something you care about. I like it very much.” The more Chu Ning looked at it, the more she liked it.

Although it might have been thrown away by someone, after Chu Yuen gave it to her, its significance had changed.

“Okay, Sis, as long as you like it. Then I’ll be going. Rest early.” With that, Chu Yuen left Chu Ning’s room and closed the door.

He could feel that Chu Ning hadn’t been in a good mood before he came.

“Just you wait. I will repay you well in the future.” Chu Yuen clenched his fists and thought to himself.

In the room, Chu Ning didn’t continue to lie on the bed. She got up and walked to the table, propping the rubber doll up.

She had given Cloud Shopping to Zhou Hao, but she still had to do what she had to do. She could not give up.

“It’ll get better.” Chu Ning sat in front of the table and whispered to herself.

On the second day of class, Chu Ning prepared for the upcoming final exams as usual.

She planned to put most of her energy into her studies now. Or rather, she wanted to experience the beauty of life and treat it as a break for herself. Since Cloud Shopping was gone, she did not need to pack her schedule.

Chu Ning’s appetite was exceptionally good when she had lunch in the cafeteria.

She was chatting and laughing with Luo Yu, Yan Shen, Xiaomi, and some other friends, very relaxed and contented.

After all, she had only received news from Zhou Hao the previous night that Chu Ning had already lost what she relied on.

“Hmph, I want to see how long you can stay arrogant!” Ye Ting thought coldly.

Yu Yan, who was beside Ye Ting, also looked at Chu Ning. Her eyes flashed as if she was thinking about something.

During the lunch break, Yu Yan walked to Chu Ning’s seat with an invitation card and said with a smile, “Chu Ning, this is an invitation card from my father. There’s a charity gala on Saturday night. I hope you can attend.”

“Why am I invited?” Chu Ning asked, baffled.

“You are qualified to attend,” Yu Yan said reluctantly.

In reality, she hated the task her father Yu Yang had assigned her.

“Oh?” After hearing Yu Yan’s words, Chu Ning picked up the invitation card that Yu Yan had placed on the table and read its contents.

“I got it,” Chu Ning said as she read.

“I hope you can attend on time.” Yu Yan resisted the urge to provoke Chu Ning and walked back to her seat.

“Interesting.” Chu Ning looked at the invitation card and muttered to herself.

“What good things can Yu Yan give you? She must be trying to harm you,” Xiao Xiaomi said disdainfully.

“This was given to me by her father, Yu Yang. He’s an excellent businessman.” Chu Ning also voiced her evaluation.

To be able to do business across borders, Yu Yang was undoubtedly a successful person.

“Anyway, I don’t think she has good intentions,” Xiaomi continued.

“Alright, go to sleep.” After saying that, Chu Ning took out a cotton pad and placed it on the table. She lay down and fell asleep.

In the evening, after school, Zhang Bo waited at his usual place.

He guessed that Chu Ning might go to Qinghe Village that day.

As soon as she got into the car, Chu Ning said the truth. “Zhang Bo, I’m no longer the actual controller of Cloud Shopping.”
