Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 167 What Shen Yubai told you

Sang Menglan had no idea that her son was sabotaging her behind her back. She was enthusiastically chatting with You Shuzhen and Ye Qiongfang about their plan to open a restaurant.

The three of them were discussing enthusiastically, and Xu Chuning and the other three fell into silence for a moment.

After a while, Xu Chuning nodded and said seriously, "I'll tell my mother."

Shen Yubai chuckled, "Just remember it."

Shen Sinian asked, "How can we help?"

Xu Chu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Take a look at the facade?"

Shen Yubai: "Leave the storefront business to my mother."

Meeting the two people's gazes, Shen Yubai explained, "She is quite knowledgeable about this aspect."

Xu Chu Ning suddenly realized, "I'll ask my mom later what they talked about specifically."

Shen Yubai nodded.

After eating the noodles with soybean paste, Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian did not leave the shop.

Sang Menglan and Ye Qiongfang weren't there either. The three of them were discussing very seriously. If there hadn't been any customers coming to the store, Xu Chuning estimated that they could have chatted for the whole day.

The store became busy, so Ye Qiongfang and Sang Menglan prepared to leave first.

Before leaving, Ye Qiongfang called Xu Chuning, "Ningning."

Xu Chuning raised his eyes, and You Shuzhen also looked over, "Go ahead."

She noticed Xu Chu Ning's hesitation and said softly, "Talk to her."

"..."

Xu Chu Ning paused for a few seconds, put down the work in his hands, and said, "I'll be back in a while."

You Shuzhen: “Don’t worry.”

The mother and daughter wanted to talk, so Shen Yubai and his companions tactfully left first.

Before leaving, Shen Sinian reminded Xu Chuning: "Ningning, chat on QQ."

Xu Chuning agreed with a smile.

After a few people left, Ye Qiongfang raised her bag awkwardly and asked Xu Chuning, "Do you want to have a cup of milk tea?"

Xu Chu Ning wanted to refuse, but looking at the cautious person in front of her, she finally softened her heart and agreed, "Go ahead."

The two walked towards a familiar milk tea shop not far away.

There are always long queues at the milk tea shop as usual, and there are always a lot of customers on weekends.

Xu Chu Ning was about to line up when Ye Qiong Fang said softly, "You go sit in the store and I'll place the order."

Hearing this, Xu Chu Ning was startled, and suddenly thought of the last time when he and Shen Yubai came to buy milk tea and met Xu Yiming by chance.

At that time, Xu Chu Ning actually thought about who he would buy milk tea for if Xu Yiming knew that Xu Zhiyan was not his biological daughter, but that she was his biological daughter.

Or, when he knows that she is his biological daughter, will he buy milk tea for her?

At that time, Xu Chu Ning had no answer in his heart.

At this moment, the questions that had been bothering her seemed to have an answer.

"Ningning?" Noticing Xu Chuning's surprise, Ye Qiongfang called her, "Aren't you going to the store to rest?"

Xu Chu Ning came back to his senses and looked up at her, "No need, let's line up together."

Ye Qiongfang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Your mother really raised you very well."

Xu Chu Ning agreed with this point, "She is very special."

"I can see that you two have a very good relationship." Ye Qiongfang looked at her with a somewhat greedy look, "I heard her say that when she first adopted you, you were very thin."

Xu Chu Ning hummed, then said in silence, "The conditions in the orphanage are limited."

Xu Chu Ning was rather thin, so apart from the three basic meals a day, she didn't get any other snacks or rewards.

Thinking of this, Xu Chuning looked at Ye Qiongfang, "Is there any news about that matter?"

"Still looking." Ye Qiongfang knew what she was referring to and comforted her, "Don't worry, your father and your Uncle Shen have both found someone, and there will be clues soon."

Xu Chu Ning nodded hesitantly, "Thanks for their hard work."

"That's what I should do." Ye Qiongfang smiled. "How have you been at school recently? I heard from the school that Ruoqing has caused you trouble, right?"

Xu Chuning looked at her in surprise and asked uncertainly, "Did Shen Yubai tell you that?"

"No." Ye Qiongfang told her, "It was the Tang family who called us to apologize, and your father and I learned about this."

She felt a little guilty when she mentioned this. "I wanted to come to you before, but I was afraid that you would be unhappy, so your father and I didn't mention this to you again."

She came here today and wanted to apologize to Xu Chuning.

"It's our fault. We didn't keep an eye on you and didn't take good care of you." Ye Qiongfang said in a depressed mood, "If you hadn't been replaced in the first place, none of this would have happened now."

Xu Chu Ning paused and said softly, "It has already happened, so don't think too much about it. You didn't want to do that. As for Tang Ruoqing causing trouble for me... I can actually understand it. She and Xu Zhiyan have known each other since childhood. It's normal for her to stand up for her friend, but it's just-"

"What is it?" Ye Qiongfang was curious.

Xu Chu Ning looked at her and told the truth, "She's a little stupid."

Everyone could see that Xu Zhiyan was using her.

Xu Chu Ning guessed that after Xu Zhiyan left the Xu family, she was still in contact with Tang Ruoqing. Maybe she was playing the victim to Tang Ruoqing and telling her own suffering, or maybe Tang Ruoqing really felt that this matter was not Xu Zhiyan's fault, but her fault.

All in all, no matter what the reason was for Tang Ruoqing to come to Xu Chuning to settle the score, it only proved one thing, that she was really not very smart.

Hearing Xu Chuning's words, Ye Qiongfang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "You kid..." She pursed her lips, "Actually, mom also thinks her kid is not very smart."

It’s just hard to say it to his face.

Xu Chuning didn't say anything.

Ye Qiongfang continued, "The Tang family said they want her to apologize to you in person and invite you to dinner. Do you want to go?"

"I don't want to." Xu Chu Ning said without hesitation, "Just tell them to take good care of Tang Ruoqing and not to cause trouble to me in the future."

No need to eat.

Ye Qiongfang nodded thoughtfully, "Okay."

The mother and daughter chatted casually, and soon it was their turn.

The waiter asked the two what they wanted to drink. Just as Xu Chuning was about to speak, Ye Qiongfang said, "Two cups of jasmine milk tea, hot, 50% sweet."

After talking to the clerk, she turned to Xu Chuning and said, "I heard from your mother that you often have stomachaches during your period, so we should drink less cold drinks."

"...Yeah." Xu Chu Ning didn't have too many requirements for hot or cold. She was just surprised. "How do you know I like to drink jasmine milk tea?"

Ye Qiongfang told her frankly, "I asked Yu Bai."

Xu Chuning: “…”

It turned out to be the case.

Ye Qiongfang observed the changes on her face, and was a little curious, "Ningning, you and Yu Bai——"

Before she could finish her next words, Xu Chu Ning said, "He and I are classmates now."

Ye Qiongfang chuckled: "Mom hasn't said anything yet."

She was silent for a moment, looked at Xu Chuning and said, "Yu Bai is a good person. I can see that... he treats you very well."

Hearing this, Xu Chu Ning said with a bit of a smile: "Why are you the same as my mother?"

Ye Qiongfang blurted out: "Because I am your mother too."
