"Being aggressive will only make your heart look uglier.”Mu Ning closed the book gently and looked into Sun Jie's eyes coldly.
"Then you think it's glorious to be stripped in public?”Sun Jie seemed to have been guessed as she suddenly jumped up and roared.
"Enough!" A sudden shout came from the door, giving everyone a fright.
" Prince Yi is here..." The crowd that had gathered together suddenly became restless and scattered like birds and beasts.
In less than half a minute, only Mu Ning, Chu Hanyi, and Sun Jie were left in the classroom.
Sun Jie was obviously shocked by Chu Hanyi's sudden appearance. She had already asked around and knew that Prince Chu would not come to school today. That was why she took the risk to find trouble with Shen Muning. Could it be that her information was wrong?
Sun Jie's face turned pale. She didn't dare to turn around to look at Chu Hanyi. The low pressure coming from behind almost made her weak.
"What kind of deep hatred does Mu Ning have with you that you have to treat her like this?”Chu Hanyi squeezed the words out of his mouth, and his face was gloomy.
" Prince Yi…I…" Sun Jie's teeth trembled, and she couldn't even complete a sentence. He could only stand rooted to the ground with his back stiff and his entire body trembling.
"You're the one who should get lost. Don't ever appear in this school again!”Chu Hanyi said coldly. He did not even look at Sun Jie as he walked straight to Mu Ning who was still sitting calmly.
Chu Hanyi's words were undoubtedly a death sentence for Sun Jie. It was better to let her die than to kick her out of the Imperial Orchid Academy! "No! "Prince Yi, please don't chase me away…" Sun Jie suddenly rushed towards Chu Hanyi like a crazy person, grabbed his arm and begged loudly.
Chu Hanyi flashed and avoided Sun Jie who was rushing at him. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Throw her out!" With a cold order, two boys suddenly appeared in the empty classroom. They didn't give Sun Jie a chance to speak and dragged her out.
" Prince Yi…Please forgive me this time…Prince Yi…" Sun Jie's voice gradually faded away until it could no longer be heard.
Looking at Mu Ning who was sitting quietly in her seat, Chu Hanyi moved his lips, not knowing what to say. After a long time, he sighed helplessly and said softly,""Mu Ning, I'm sorry…"
Mu Ning slowly raised her head and smiled at Chu Hanyi,""Why are you suddenly apologizing?”
" It was my fault yesterday. It's all my fault for not protecting you well. That incident was not an accident. I'm sorry…" The waiters at yesterday's party were all professionally trained and carefully selected by the hotel. They would not lose their balance so easily. Moreover, he had checked the surveillance video. There was no water there last night! Then why did he fall for no reason? Someone must have ordered it!
"Chu Hanyi, I don't need your sympathy!”Mu Ning's eyes turned cold as she replied coldly.
"I'm not sympathizing with you. Last night's incident was instigated by someone else. I've already found out.”Chu Hanyi hurriedly explained. He did not expect Mu Ning to misunderstand him.
Mu Ning smiled coldly and stood up. Her tone was cold and devoid of any warmth. "Is that so? Thank you so much!”This matter was a great humiliation to her. She wished she could forget it as soon as possible. However, since she came to school this morning, she had been hearing some people's secret discussions and mockery.
She had almost exhausted all of her patience to not lose her mind and have a conflict with Sun Jie. However, when Chu Hanyi brought it up again, she could no longer endure it. His words were like a slap to her face.
She did not know why she felt so uncomfortable, even worse than yesterday. Tears welled up without warning. Mu Ning did not know why she had become so fragile. She had been able to endure even more humiliating things in the past, so why could she not do it now? Especially Chu Hanyi, who always showed up when she was at her weakest. She always exposed her true emotions in front of him.
"Don't cry. I already said I'm sorry.”Mu Ning's tears made Chu Hanyi's heart ache. No matter how strong she looked on the outside, she was just a girl! Chu Han reflexively reached out his long arms to embrace Mu Ning.
"No need!" Mu Ning realized that she sounded like a child who was throwing a tantrum. She was annoyed and dodged Chu Hanyi's hand.
"Be good. I'll protect you well in the future.”Chu Hanyi could not help but smile as he relaxed.
"No need!" Mu Ning was a little angry. She glared at Chu Hanyi and ran out of the classroom.
Her gloomy mood was strangely swept away. There were still tears in her eyes, but a smile gently spread on her lips. Mu Ning felt a little warm in her heart because of his words. She could not explain why she trusted Chu Hanyi so much. She only knew that he could always make her feel at ease.
In the evening, as dusk fell, Yiyi was humming a song in the kitchen as she focused on frying the fish in the pot. The sound of the fish being fried could be heard in the kitchen, and a faint fragrance of fish wafted through the room.
"Sis, how much longer? I'm so hungry!”Xu Rui could not help but rub his stomach and ask. Smelling the fragrance from the kitchen, she swallowed her saliva greedily.
"It'll be done soon. You're the only one who's greedy!”Yiyi rolled her eyes at Xu Rui and smiled dotingly.
"I can't wait anymore. I haven't eaten your cooking for almost half a year!”Xu Rui stared straight at the golden fish in the pot and kept thinking about how to eat the most.
Yiyi had learned how to cook because Mu Ning did not know how to cook. She either ordered takeout or ate instant noodles every day. Yiyi said that eating instant noodles was not good for the body and would cause malnutrition, but Mu Ning did not care. If Yiyi did not allow her to eat, she would just go hungry. In the past, Mu Ning was so skinny that she was only skin and bones. Her body was not strong enough to resist the heat. Yiyi was very distressed, so she specially found a chef to learn how to cook. Later, after Yiyi's diet and careful care, Mu Ning gradually became healthier. She gained some weight and became more lively.
For some reason, Mu Ning just could not gain weight. No matter how hard Yiyi tried to nourish Mu Ning, it was useless. Although he wasn't as skinny as before, he was still very skinny.
"I've already endured it for half a year. I won't die if I endure it for a few more minutes!”Yiyi poured the seasoning in the bowl into the pot. Immediately, a sizzling sound rang out, and the fragrance spread.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Xu Rui took a deep breath and praised.
Cover the pot and let it simmer for another minute! Yiyi heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to give Xu Rui a violent blow. "Damn brat, don't eat it! You're not allowed to grab it with your hands!"
"Women can't hit people casually. Be careful not to get married in the future!”Xu Rui cried out in pain and pouted with a wronged expression.
"If Yiyi can't get married, it must be your curse.”Mu Ning said coldly as she stood at the door with a faint smile on her face.
" Damn brat, look, even Ningning said so. If you dare to curse me again, I'll-" Yiyi waved her fist at Xu Rui threateningly, then turned off the fire.
"Are you really my biological sister? Other people's younger brothers can't wait to be treated like treasures, but you only know how to be fierce to me!”Xu Rui muttered unhappily, but his eyes glanced at the pot that was still covered with a lid.
Yiyi lifted the lid of the pot, and a burst of steam rose. Then, the fragrance of fish spread out from the pot.
Xu Rui's eyes lit up. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said,"Sis, if you can cook such delicious dishes for me every day, I'll let you beat me up. How about it?”
"Go to hell. I'm too lazy to waste my energy if you're itching for it!”Yiyi rolled her eyes at Xu Rui in annoyance and scooped the fragrant pan-fried Diao Zi fish into a plate.
Xu Rui smiled ingratiatingly and followed Yiyi to the living room.
Mu Ning watched as Yiyi and her brother got along so well. There was a hint of envy in her eyes. She really wanted to have a family member. One was enough so that she could experience the taste of kinship.
Occasionally, they would bicker and fight. How heartwarming would that be…In the past, when her mother was around, she was so happy. But now that her mother was gone, she was all alone in this world. She always felt like she did not fit in with this world. Now, even in front of Yiyi and her brother, she felt like an outsider. No matter how hard she tried, she could not blend in.
Three years ago, she had severed all ties with her so-called relatives. It was said that blood was thicker than water, but she had never felt it. What bullsh * t kinship? It was simply a joke. In the face of benefits, it was just a thin piece of white paper. With a slight poke, it would break.
What was even more ridiculous was that after that person brought her back, those " relatives " who had originally kept a respectful distance from her and wished that she could get as far away as possible suddenly appeared one by one overnight. They smiled obsequiously and took care of her as if they had a deep relationship.
The ugly faces of these people really disgusted her. Especially her uncle. When he came to look for her, he actually said shamelessly,"When you asked me to lend you money, I thought you were lying to me, so I refused to lend you money. I was also afraid that you would turn bad. Uncle is doing this for your own good.”
What a ridiculous lie. Did he really think that she was easy to fool just because she was young? So this was the so-called kinship. When she and her mother were in trouble, they avoided them like snakes and scorpions. When she was taken away by that person, when there was a profit to be made, he immediately came to curry favor with her. Ha…She would rather not have such a " relative "!
"Ning-Ning, what are you doing? Come over quickly. If you don't come over soon, your favorite pan-fried Diao fish will be eaten by Xu Rui!”Yiyi shouted when she saw Mu Ning standing at the kitchen door in a daze.
