Chapter 148: Two Intelligent People
“Then, I browsed through the big data on the Internet. After going through layers of filtering, I learned a crucial piece of news. At the border of M City, I bought a lot of houses at a very low price. Soon, this place will be demolished. In fact, I wasn’t sure at the time, but I wanted to take a gamble. If I lost, it would only be half a year’s worth of labor. But if I won, I would have a lot of choices for the next step in my life.”
Chu Ning continued to say in a soft voice.
“You won,” Chu Zhe stated this fact without hesitation. He didn’t even need to guess.
“Yes, Big Brother. I won.” Chu Ning said with a smile, looking at the streetlights that gradually lit up in the distance.
“Not bad, Xiao Ning. You should have bought the real estate in Bifeng District, right?”
Chu Zhe suddenly felt very comfortable. His worry for Chu Ning had now turned into admiration. He even felt that he was inferior to his sister in some aspects, such as mettle, and in meticulous thinking and the courage to act.
“Big Brother, your insight makes me admire you. Yes, it’s Bifeng District.”
Chu Ning nodded. She had a whole new understanding of Chu Zhe’s quick thinking.
She only gave a general direction, but he had been able to filter out the correct option from the huge amount of data.
“So Xiao Ning, you should be a low-key multimillionaire now, right? I’m a little envious of you,” Chu Zhe smiled.
He wasn’t really envious, but he was simply overjoyed.
He was really satisfied to have such an outstanding sister who was willing to quietly sacrifice herself for the family.
“No, no, Big Brother, I think you’re trying to make me happy. Your achievements will be even greater in the future.”
Of course, Chu Ning could hear the meaning behind Chu Zhe’s words. He was already relieved and no longer had any worries.
Chu Zhe could even roughly calculate Chu Ning’s current value through some data that she had deliberately been vague about. This made Chu Ning even more certain that the future Chu Zhe would truly become a real top-tier rich man.
“No, I’m really envious. But Xiao Ning, you’re a smart girl; too smart, even, which makes me a little incredulous. So, I won’t make unnecessary talk by trying to politely educate you. Because you understand the logic, even better than I do. But as your brother, I just want my sister to grow up well and not have any troubles or worries. After all, you’re not even 18 years old yet.”
Chu Zhe was a little hesitant when he said this. In a rare move, he scratched his head.
“Yes,” Chu Ning answered with a smile.
“So, Xiao Ning, don’t tire yourself out.” When Chu Zhe said this, there was a hint of guilt in his tone.
“Big Brother, I’m not that tired. I’m very happy every day. Let’s go. I’ll treat you to ice cream. How about Haagen-Dazs? After all, I’m a multimillionaire.”
Chu Ning said. The two of them had already walked to the side of a plaza. Chu Ning saw a convenience store not far away and her eyes lit up.
“Then I’ll let you spend money this once. Xiao Ning, when you first came, I was worried that you wouldn’t be used to this family. Now, it seems more like you’re protecting this family. How is this kid Chu Huan your match? If you didn’t give in to him, he would probably be depressed. And the health of our seventh brother. Sigh, the Chu family is lucky to have you…”
Chu Zhe and Chu Ning chatted a great deal along the way. The two of them were like siblings, but also like friends.
Chu Ning didn’t hide anything, other than the reason why she bought the houses for investment. She couldn’t simply say that she knew the result in advance. That would probably scare her big brother.
“Brother, I went to the 4s store to buy a car yesterday. Do you want to guess what kind of car it is?” Chu Ning asked mysteriously while licking the Haagen-Dazs.
“How would I be able to guess that?” Chu Zhe shook his head.
“Guess.” Chu Ning shook his arm a little coquettishly.
“Well… the price should not be low. If I were to guess, it should be more than a million. It might be a top-class luxury car.”
Chu Zhe actually said after some serious thought.
“Huh? Big Brother, no way. What makes you think I would buy that kind of car?”
Surprise was written all over Chu Ning’s face. She sadly realized that Chu Zhe’s thinking was really similar to hers…
