Chapter 637 - 637 Class Reunion

637 Class Reunion

Chu Ning felt her parents’ love. “Don’t worry, Mom and Dad. We’ve already checked them out before we let them move in. They don’t have any mental illnesses.” She thought for a moment and continued, “They’re not bad people. They’re just obsessed with art and are different from ordinary people. Mom, Dad, you don’t have to worry too much about me.”

Mr. Chu was slightly relieved after hearing this. He felt that Chu Ning was a very assertive child. She could handle these things herself, so he did not give her too much advice. Mrs. Chu, on the other hand, slightly restrained the worry in her eyes. After all, she was her only daughter, and she always worried about her.

Chu Ning also knew that it was impossible to make her parents feel at ease with just a few words. She didn’t say anything more and changed the topic. She introduced her plans for The Parade to her parents.

Although the two of them did not quite understand what she was saying, their attention was quickly diverted. Seeing Chu Ning’s proud expression, they were also happy.

After shopping for a while, Chu Ning brought her parents to Mingde Building. The moment they entered, they were shocked by the low-key and luxurious decor inside. It was not until the waiter led them into a private room and only the family of three was left that Mrs. Chu asked, “Xiao Ning, why are we here for dinner? It must be very expensive; let’s go home and eat.”

Mr. Chu nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Aren’t you in the stage of starting a business? Don’t waste your money on this. Just eat at home.”

Chu Ning shook her head disapprovingly. “How can bringing you both out for a meal be called a waste?” She pushed the menu in front Mr. and Mrs. Chu. “Both of you, quickly take a look and see what you’d like to eat. It’s not easy for me to bring you out. Of course, we have to have a nice meal.”

When Mrs. Chu opened the menu, she was shocked by the prices inside. She quickly handed it to Mr. Chu, who was so dumbfounded that his jaw almost dropped. He closed the menu. “Xiao Ning, let’s go home and eat. This… This is too scary.”

Chu Ning sighed feebly and had an idea. “It’s okay, Mom and Dad. Don’t be afraid of spending money. This restaurant is opened by one of my business partners. He can afford to treat you to a meal.”

Father Chu insisted, “It’s not good to owe a favor. Let’s go home and eat.”

Just as Chu Ning was feeling helpless, someone knocked on the door. Chu Ning looked up and said, “Who is it?”

Xu Xi’s voice came from outside the door. “It’s me, Xu Xi.”

Chu Ning stood up in surprise. She was about to walk out when she stopped and looked at her parents. They didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when they saw Chu Ning’s silly look. Mr. Chu waved his hand. “Go ahead. Don’t worry about us.”

Chu Ning pushed the door open briskly. It was Xu Xi at the door. “What are you doing here?”

Xu Xi burst out laughing. “President Chu, you’re acting all high and mighty now. What’s wrong? We’re not allowed to eat here?”

Chu Ning was choked by his words and rolled her eyes. “You’re really so talkative now!”

Xu Xi smiled brightly. “Some of our classmates said that they wanted to have a gathering, so I booked this restaurant. When I went upstairs, I saw your back and asked the front desk — it was indeed you. So I thought I’d come over and say hello.”

Chu Ning said delightedly, “Then you have good taste. I just took my parents to The Parade and wanted to bring them for a nice meal.”

Chu Ning glanced around and quietly leaned over. She whispered in Xu Xi’s ear, “I’m already confident about the matter you told me about.”

“I knew you could do it!” Xu Xi was stunned for a moment before he became joyful. “Keep it up!”

“Of course!” Chu Ning smiled radiantly. “I have to thank you for your help. When I succeed, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

Xu Xi nodded. “I’ll be waiting for your good news then. Go accompany Uncle and Auntie. I’m going to eat as well. When our classmates find out that you’re here, they’ll probably run over.”

Chu Ning thought about that scene and waved her hand, feeling vexed. “That’s not good. You have to help me conceal this. I’m going to accompany my parents! See you!”

Chu Ning slipped away immediately. Xu Xi watched as she walked back into the private room. He suddenly remembered how she had just whispered to him, and his face turned red.
