Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Father Chu heard the two of them, he scratched his head awkwardly and changed the topic. “Since everyone is here, hurry up and take a seat. Waiter, serve the dishes.”
After they were seated, Chu Yuan took the lead and said, “What happened? Where are the other kids in your family? I know about Xiao Qi, but they rest aren’t at home?”
Chu Ning looked at the relatives of the Chu family. She already didn’t have a good impression of the relatives she hadn’t met before. It was fine if they were late, but each and every one of them were on a high horse, every word and action had no respect for her parents.
Especially Chu Yuan. He seemed to have some money, and he happened to be father Chu’s elder brother. He was even more arrogant and almost looked down on the whole family.
“My eldest son and third son are both studying. My fifth son and sixth son… They don’t like to stay at home.”
Father Chu was also a little helpless. Although their family was very big, it was rare for them to gather together.
“This won’t do. We must educate our children to have a sense of family and not always think about living alone…”
Chu Yuan began to nag again, but Chu Huan did not stop him, neither did mother Chu or Chu Jing.
The reason was simple. For so many years, Chu Yuan had spent a lot of money on Chu Ning’s seventh brother. It could be said that Chu Yuan had paid for most of the hospitalization expenses for him.
If it weren’t for him, Chu Ning might not even ever get to meet this brother of hers.
“Uncle, what’s wrong? Is your educational philosophy very advanced?”
Chu Ning couldn’t hold it in anymore. She wanted to tolerate it as much as she could for the sake of so many people, but Chu Yuan didn’t have any idea at all. He kept nagging.
Chu Ning’s rebuttal surprised everyone present.
Chu Huan looked embarrassed. In fact, he did not want to listen to Chu Yuan talk about the principles of life. However, it could not be helped. His family had always been taken care of by him, so they were naturally inferior.
A hint of surprise flashed across Chu Tao’s face.
When he had just came in, Chu Ning had greeted each of them warmly. As a junior, she had done well in terms of etiquette.
But why was this little girl so eloquent when they first met?
“Bbig brother, look, I told you to talk less. Look, you’ve made little Ning’er a little unhappy.”
At this time, the fourth aunt, Chu Mei, came out to smooth things over and hurriedly said with a smile.
But Chu Ning did not have the intention to let it go easily.
So what if they were relatives? So what if they were rich!
She, Chu Ning, had no need to act according to these people’s expressions!
“We originally agreed on a time, but you made us wait for you for more than half an hour. Why, your time is precious, but our time is not valuable? Also, speaking of family education, in my opinion, your family is very close-knit right? Then why didn’t you bring your child and wife here today? Is it because my father didn’t inform your whole family to come or something? Is everyone really that busy?”
Chu Ning’s words not only stunned Chu Yuan, but also her parents.
They had wanted to stop Chu Ning from continuing, but after hearing Chu Ning’s words, they felt very good in their hearts.
Due to their family circumstances, their family had always found it difficult to speak confidently in front of their relatives.
Therefore, even though the other party’s attitude was arrogant and even looked down on them, father and mother Chu could only endure it. Their hearts were indeed filled with bitterness.
But today, Chu Ning’s arrival had completely changed the situation.
She did not care about these things. As long as it made her unhappy, she would directly bring it up without any scruples!
“I… This…”
Chu Yuan’s face was completely red. He did not expect this little girl, whom he had never met before, to have such a vicious mouth. She actually made him speechless!
When Chu Tao saw such a scene, he adjusted his glasses.
He knew that it was not appropriate for father and mother Chu to speak at this time. Publicly protect and favor their daughter? That did not seem to work. His seventh son, who was paralyzed in the hospital, was still counting on his eldest brother, Chu Yuan, to pay for their medical expenses!
“Uh, Xiao Ning, we were indeed being rude, but you don’t have to say that about your uncle. After all, your uncle is your elder and has a certain status in society. He doesn’t treat us as outsiders, so when he speaks, he may not have so many concerns. I hope you don’t mind. After all, you’re our niece.”
