Chapter 1912: Stay at Home?

Ning Shu just let his words go in one ear and out the other. She said with a mocking expression, Stay at home? Do I even have a place to stay?

You can sleep with mom and dad can squeeze in with me, Chen An said. This way you can talk to mom and let Nannan get closer to her grandma.

Ning Shu laughed out loud. She looked at her sister-in-law and said, Where will Sister-in-law sleep? You cant be thinking of letting Sister-in-law sleep on the floor, can you?

The sister-in-laws expression turned very ugly. Her face trembled as she said, I can sleep on the sofa.

Ning Shus meaning was unclear when she said, Its so cold, wont my sister-in-law freeze to death if she sleeps on the sofa? Anyway, Ive already booked a hotel room, so I wont be staying here.

Right then, Chen Nings mother came back from grocery shopping. Seeing Ning Shu in the living room, she was stunned. Ning Shu called out to greet her. Chen Ning? Chen Nings mother exclaimed with some uncertainty.

Its me, Ning Shu said.

Chen Nings mother said with a displeased expression, What are you doing here? Why didnt you contact your family?

Mom. Chen An hurriedly stopped her from speaking further, fearing that she would upset Ning Shu. Sister just came back and she bought you so many things.

Chen Nings mother saw her son winking. She sighed and said, Everythings fine as long as youve come home. Ill go buy some more vegetables.

Mother-in-law, buy Sister something she likes, the sister-in-law said to Chen Nings mother. Speaking of which, this is the first time Ive seen Big Sister.

Ning Shu raised her eyebrows. Was she asking for a red envelope?

Ning Shu went to one of the bags on the sofa and took out a red packet. She said, I didnt come back for your wedding. This is my gift money to you.

Thank you, Big Sister. The sister-in-law happily took the packet. Chen An was also smiling.

The sister-in-law turned around and opened the red packet to see how much there was. Her expression suddenly s.h.i.+fted. Why did she only give five hundred yuan? It wasnt like she was a beggar. Ning Shu was wearing 10,000 yuan-worth of clothes, so how could she give such a small amount of money as a present?

Chen An glanced at the money in the red packet and his expression also twisted. Ning Shu ignored the couples ugly expressions and said to Chen Nings mother, You dont need to prepare much, a little bits enough.

Dont go buying groceries on such a cold day, Ning Shu said.

After a while, Chen Nings father came back. He also rebuked Ning Shu, saying that she was oh so independent now.

It was probably because of the lack of red packet money, but Chen An didnt speak up for Ning Shu this time.

Ning Shu didnt say a word and just listened to Chen Nings father talk.

Since youve come back, dont run around anymore. Just settle down, Chen Nings father said. Find someone you can live a good life with.

Ning Shu said lightly, Im leaving in a few days. I need to go back to work and dont want to find a partner for the time being.

Sister, whats your job? Chen An asked.

Ning Shu looked at Chen An indifferently. What do you think I do?

Sister, you couldnt be Chen Ans expression turned odd.

Ning Shus gaze became even colder. Put away your thoughts. I work in a law firm, its not whatever dirty thing youre thinking about.

Chen An couldnt believe it. His expression was filled with suspicion.

Youre a woman. What are you going to do if you dont get married? Dont dishonor the Chen family, Chen Nings father said. I cant afford to lose any face.

How have I dishonored your Chen family? Ning Shu hugged Nannan, who didnt understand what was going on. Dad, how could you say that to your daughter?
