Chapter 549: Do You Trust Him That Much?

Shui Anluo and the others did not stay too long as Chu Ningyi has company matters to attend to.
Therefore, Chu Ningyi and Shui Anluo had to go home three days after her mother’s wedding.
Shui Anluo had not changed her manner of address. She had called Luo Yun Papa Luo and he did not object. However, before they left, he stepped forward to give Shui Anluo a red packet containing a Black Card.
Luo Xuan glanced at her indifferently. He clicked his tongue and said, “I don’t even have that.”
Shui Anluo turned around and looked at Chu Ningyi. “What’s this?”
“It’s a Black Card from Manyin International. There are only three Black Cards in the world,” Chu Ningyi explained indifferently. If his guess was correct, there was one card in Shui Anluo’s possession, one with Luo Yun and one more with Long Manyin.
Shui Anluo paused for a moment and felt as if she had suddenly become a wealthy woman.
“Papa Luo, how much money does this have?” Shui Anluo asked as her small hand trembled.
Luo Yun replied indifferently. “All of my assets.”
“Eh!” Shui Anluo exclaimed and immediately threw the Black Card back at him. “I don’t want this.” The gift from her stepfather was much too heavy, she could not accept it. “Aren’t you afraid that I might take all your money out and give it to Chu Ningyi?”
Luo Yun raised his brow. Long Manyin had not thought that it was a suitable gift either. She sat next to Luo Yun and said, “Luoluo has Ningyi, she won’t need so much money.”
Luo Yun lifted his head to stare straight at Chu Ningyi. “He’s the one I’m defending against.”
His response was so straightforward!
“Pfft…” Shui Anluo spat. ‘Papa Luo, you’re mighty’. She carefully turned around and Director Chu’s expression has indeed turned black.
“Director Luo, you must be overthinking. The Chu Group is nothing compared to Manyin International but I won’t allow any grief to come to this mother and son.” Chu Ningyi stated indifferently and his voice was slightly chilly.
Shui Anluo lowered her head and secretly thought that her Papa Luo must truly love her mother. He had taken all his family assets and given it to her, a stepdaughter. That also meant that she did not have much to worry about.
“I really don’t want it, Papa Luo,” Shui Anluo stated seriously.
“Do you trust him that much?” Luo Yun did not take the card back but continued to talk.
The corners of Shui Anluo’s mouth twitched. ‘Papa Luo, your question is much too straightforward. How can I answer that?’
Shui Anluo smirked and held Chu Ningyi’s hand. “As long as it isn’t a question of principle, one has to continue on with the man one has chosen even if she has to cry along the way.”
“I’m going to make you cry?” Chu Ningyi was annoyed.
“It’s an example, an example.” Shui Anluo grinned and soothed the angry man. However, she could not help but think that this was not accurate as not every man was like her stepfather.
In the end, Shui Anluo did not accept the card. However, her Papa Luo was a good stepfather and said that he would keep it for her.
Long Manyin sent her out. “Take good care of yourself and Luoning once you get back to ‘A’ City. Don’t always act like a child, understand?”
“I understand, Mother.” Shui Anluo looked at the man who was holding the little darling and arranging their luggage. “Mother, I have something I’d like to ask you.”
“Mm, what is it?” Long Manyin paused in her footsteps along with Shui Anluo and stared at the serious look on her face.
“Mother, do you remember the first time you had fought with father? It was the same day that I got knocked down by an uncle. Father said that his friend’s name was Yuan…” Shui Anluo tried her best to recall but could not remember the full name.
The girl who was seriously trying to remember the name did not notice the subtle change on her mother’s face.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. It must’ve been very long ago,” Long Manyin replied as she looked at Chu Ningyi who was not too far away. “Hurry on over, Ningyi’s waiting for you.”
