Chapter 22: Mom, I Don’t Like Tang Ning

While nobody was paying attention, Su Yurou slipped out of the courtyard and quickly called Lu Chizhou.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Chizhou’s tone was a little annoyed, “What’s the matter?”

“Chizhou, when you come over later, can you bring me some abalone, sea cucumber, etc.”

“Abalone and sea cucumber?” Lu Chizhou frowned. “Didn’t you prepare the ingredients?”

“Everyone suddenly wanted to eat abalone, sea cucumber, and wagyu foie gras, but I didn’t know where to find them, so…” Su Yurou’s voice held a hint of pity.

Lu Chizhou was silent for a moment and said, “I’ll find a way.”

Hearing this, Su Yurou’s eyes lit up with joy, and she softened her voice, “Thank you, Chizhou. If it weren’t for you, I really don’t know what I would do…”

Su Yurou was only focused on dispelling everyone’s doubts as soon as possible and didn’t notice Lu Chizhou’s abnormal mood at all.

Not far away, Tang Ning leaned against the door and looked at Su Yurou secretly calling Lu Chizhou in the courtyard. She couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows and smile.

She thought Su Yurou had come up with a good idea, but it turned out she was asking Lu Chizhou for help.

If it were in the past, Lu Chizhou would be able to help Su Yurou solve these problems with just a wave of his hand.

But things were different now.

The Tang family withdrew their investment, and the Lu family was in danger.

The Lu family no longer had enough money to support Lu Chizhou to support Su Yurou.

At this time, Tang Ning’s cell phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Tang Ning raised the corners of her lips slightly.

Unexpectedly, God was helping her.

Tang Ning answered the phone. Mother Lu on the other end of the line was very anxious. She lowered her attitude and asked, “Ningning, are you free today?”

“Aunt Lu, is there anything you need from me?”

“Auntie missed you so much. I want to treat you to a meal today. Can you come to my house and sit down?”

Hearing Mother Lu’s tone, Tang Ning knew what she was thinking.

She looked up at Su Yurou, who was still waiting for Lu Chizhou in the courtyard, and asked, “Is Lu Chizhou here too?”

“Of course, he is here! Chizhou misses you too. He offended you before, and he has always felt bad about it. Today, Auntie asked him to apologize to you.”

“Is that so…” Tang Ning smiled and said, “Okay, then we’ll see each other later?”

“In a moment?”

“Yes.” Tang Ning said, “I have something else to do tonight, so let’s have dinner at noon. I’ll be there in a bit.”

“Can……”

“What? Is Auntie in trouble? Then forget it.”

“No, no, no, it’s not difficult! Not at all!”

Mother Lu smiled awkwardly and said, “Auntie will cook for you now and wait for you to come over.”

“Good.”

Tang Ning hung up the phone and couldn’t help but sneer in her heart.

Mother Lu has always loved money like her life and is very good at playing tricks.

The reason why she was called over in a hurry this time must be that something big happened in the Lu family.

Tang Ning was not in a hurry and turned back to the living room.

Seeing that it was almost twelve o’clock and everyone was hungry, Su Yurou was still looking outside, waiting for Lu Chizhou to bring her food.

Finally, someone couldn’t help but ask, “Yu Rou, I’m starving. When can we have dinner?”

“Yeah, it’s almost twelve o’clock. Can we still have a good meal?”

Some people around had already started complaining.

Su Yurou said, “It’s almost there, it must be soon. I’ll call and ask again.”

Su Yurou took out her cell phone and immediately called Lu Chizhou, but the line was busy, and no one answered.

Seeing this, Su Yurou’s face turned a little ugly.

Tang Ning saw that the time was right, so she stood up and said, “I guess I can’t come. I have something else to do at home, so I’ll leave first. Have fun.”

Tang Ning’s words immediately made the other students excited.

They had been here for hours without even a sip of hot tea.

Su Yurou tried to stop Tang Ning, but she had already picked up her suitcase and waved goodbye to the other students.

At this time, a luxury car stopped outside the door. Everyone thought that lunch had finally arrived, but they didn’t expect that it was Lu Yanchen who opened the car door.

Lu Yanchen held up a parasol, walked in front of Tang Ning, and offered to help her block the sun.

Under the sunshine, Lu Yanchen and Tang Ning seemed like the perfect couple.

The classmates in the class were all looking around.

“Fuck, Maybach.”

“Why would Lu Yanchen come to pick Tang Ning up in person? Are they in a relationship?”

“I don’t know, but I don’t think Tang Ning’s family conditions look like a poor student.”

“How could he be a poor student? Tang Ning gave him a watch worth five figures!”

The students around her were talking about this. This time, even Wang Ting was a little suspicious of Tang Ning’s identity.

“I don’t think Tang Ning is the daughter of a driver, Yurou, could it be that you misunderstood me?”

“Yeah, take a closer look, Tang Ning looks pretty good after losing weight.”

“What do you mean by pretty good looking? It’s very good looking, okay?”

The chattering of several classmates made Su Yurou feel uncomfortable. She lowered her head to glance at her mobile phone, not understanding why Lu Chizhou didn’t answer her call. However, she had no idea that at this moment, Lu Chizhou was sitting in the living room of the Lu family, looking at the mobile phone on the table.

Mother Lu had heated up the food for who knows how many times. She said with a cold face, “Ningning, come over later. You better behave yourself!”

“Mom, I don’t like Tang Ning. I have a girlfriend!”

“What girlfriend? I’m telling you, Lu Chizhou, those women out there are fine to play with, but Tang Ning is the only one who should be the wife of our Lu family!”

Mother Lu grabbed the phone from Lu Chizhou’s desk and took another look at the lobsters, abalones, and sea cucumbers that Lu Chizhou had secretly taken from home. She said coldly, “I’d better give up your girlfriend as soon as possible! How can she be a good person if she instigated you to steal things from home at such a young age?”

Hearing this, Lu Chizhou’s face darkened: “Mom, Yu Rou is a good girl, I don’t allow you to say that about her!”

“What good girl? She just wants to marry into a rich family because we have money. I’ve seen a lot of women like this. Only a fool like you would like that kind of stuff!”

Mother Lu said in a frustrated tone, “Our family is at the end of its rope now. The Tang family is withdrawing their investment, and your father’s business will soon be lost! If you still want to be the eldest son of the Lu family, you should try to please Tang Ning and marry her home as soon as possible!”

Just as Lu’s mother was scolding Lu Chizhou, there was a knock on the door.

Mother Lu quickly straightened her posture and walked to the front door with a smile on her face. However, when she opened the door, she saw Tang Ning instead of Tang Ning, but the secretary beside Tang’s father.

“You are…”

“Mrs. Lu, I’m so sorry, our eldest daughter couldn’t come because of something urgent, so she asked me to come and tell you.”

“What? Can’t come?”
