Chapter 48 Extremely Indifferent
"I'm back."
The girl's cold and indifferent voice echoed in the night wind, as if the heat in the air had faded a little.
But the next second, an angry male voice sounded.
"I was wondering why I couldn't find you anywhere these past two days. Turns out you cut your hair short on purpose! You're such a shame, Wen Ning! You still have the nerve to come back!"
It seemed like he had finally found an outlet for the frustration he had endured over the past two days, and Zhou Qingyan spoke viciously to Wen Ning.
The other members of the Zhou family did not say anything to stop it because they had the same idea.
Wen Ning's expression remained calm.
She said calmly, "I'm sorry, because the Zhou family is too far from the examination venue, so in order to make it more convenient for the exam, I rented a house near the school."
Zhou Qingyan cursed loudly, his mouth open as he stared at Wen Ning in disbelief.
He had imagined many scenes of Wen Ning returning, and felt that the most likely scenario was that she would keep bringing up the raw meat incident, crying and making a scene, so that they wouldn't have time to worry about her running away from home.
But, I never expected that Wen Ning would actually apologize?
And the reason for running away from home was actually quite legitimate.
Zhou Qingyan frowned, unable to think of what to say in response. He just said stiffly, "Say it again."
Wen Ning looked at him and repeated what he had just said, adding, "I'm sorry to have caused you worry."
As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you.
It was the same this time. Wen Ning apologized as soon as he opened his mouth, making it difficult for the Zhou family to vent their anger. They all felt a little anxious for a while.
At this time, Zhou Yaya narrowed her eyes and simply started talking about the private restaurant again.
"Sister, I know you're still angry with me, but this is our family affair. You shouldn't embarrass the family by joining forces with outsiders."
Wen Ning's eyes were indifferent. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Zhou Yaya only needed to take the initiative, and the anger that Zhou Qingyan had suppressed with great difficulty began to rise again.
"Yesterday at noon, we went to the private restaurant to look for you, but you teamed up with Gu Boyan and the proprietress to kick us out. Wen Ning, you're courting death!"
Wen Ning frowned slightly, thinking to herself that as expected, she had not heard wrong that day, the Zhou family really had come after them.
But she raised her head and looked at the angry Zhou family members calmly, with a slight self-deprecating smile at the corner of her lips.
"I was abducted to the mountains as a child bride. After being rescued, I stayed in an orphanage, and then in a sanatorium for three years. I've only been out for three months now."
"This is the trajectory of my life so far. You should all know it clearly. How could someone like me have the energy to do something like this?"
The Zhou family members were all stunned. Yes, Wen Ning had been living outside since he was a child, living like a stray dog.
She really couldn't have the ability to slap the Zhou family in the face.
However, Zhou Qingci narrowed his eyes, his voice filled with endless coldness, "Just because you don't have that ability doesn't mean your teacher doesn't have it."
Wen Ning's eyes dimmed for a moment.
The thing she least wanted to see happened.
The Zhou family still held a grudge against her teacher, but just looking at their aggressive attitude, it was clear that they hadn't found anything yet.
Since that was the case, Wen Ning let out a light breath and looked up at Zhou Yaya.
Zhou Yaya suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in her heart.
As expected, the next second, Wen Ning said, "All I know about Teacher Gu is that he's a wise and capable teacher. As for the rest, I think it would be more appropriate to ask Zhou Yaya."
Zhou Yaya panicked, "Me, me?"
Wen Ning said, "Teacher Gu was invited here with the help of Zhou Yaya. She should know the situation best."
Zhou Yaya's expression changed. "I, I asked Brother Xufeng to help me find it. I'm not familiar with him."
Wen Ning was very cold, "Then go ask him."
Zhou Yaya: “…”
Seeing the conversation reaching a deadlock, Zhou Qingyan suddenly remembered something and said, "Hey, if you don't do well in the college entrance examination this time, you won't blame Mom and Yaya again, right?"
Wen Ning was baffled by what he heard.
"Haha, big brother has asked everyone, and no one else who has left the sanatorium is allergic to raw meat. You're the only one being so pretentious. You vomited non-stop after seeing raw meat. I think you're probably doing it on purpose to make excuses for your poor test performance."
Wen Ning's eyes widened in surprise. "What did you say?"
Zhou Qingci stared into Wen Ning's eyes. "I asked Chen Songling, and he had no reaction to raw meat. He even praised the food at the nursing home."
Wen Ning's originally relaxed and cheerful mood was tarnished by a layer of gloom. It was hard to say whether he was angry or heartbroken, but his hatred for the sanatorium deepened.
She curled her lips and said, "I agree with him. The food in the nursing home is three dishes and one soup every day. There are meat and vegetables, and it's nutritionally balanced and delicious."
This sentence was exactly the same as what Chen Songling said, as if she had recited it from memory. This strange feeling made Zhou Qingci more and more suspicious.
But at this moment, Wen Ning no longer had the mood to deal with the Zhou family. She looked up at Zhou Donghai and asked, "Can I leave now?"
Zhou Donghai and Wen Ning looked at each other.
The girl's eyes were dark and calm, she just stared straight at Zhou Donghai, without avoiding, without being humble, without resisting, with an almost indifferent indifference.
He is completely different from the one three years ago whose eyes were always filled with stubbornness, or the one who was filled with fear and humility.
Zhou Donghai looked at her for a long while, and finally said, "Go back."
Wen Ning turned around and left without any reluctance.
Zhou Yaya was still unwilling to accept it, and Zhou Qingyan blurted out, "Dad, are you just going to let her go like this?"
Zhou Donghai looked at him gloomily, "Otherwise, what else do you want to do?"
Zhou Qingyan snorted, "She's so undisciplined, she should be taught a lesson according to the family rules. Besides, it's such a critical moment for the family's survival, and she's still so indifferent."
"Your mother and I carefully raised you guys, but now that the family is in trouble, instead of helping, you all rely on a cripple and a psychopath?"
Although it sounds harsh, it is true.
Zhou Qingyan was so embarrassed by the scolding that he didn't dare to say anything more.
"Yaya, have you been to the Shen family?" Zhou Donghai asked again.
A look of embarrassment crossed Zhou Yaya's face.
She went to the Shen family yesterday and met Shen Xufeng's mother.
But the elegant and beautiful woman looked down on her and treated her coldly and indifferently, which was not nice at all.
He was indifferent to her questions and even mocked her in the end, telling her not to mess with people she shouldn't mess with!
When she marries Shen Xufeng and becomes the head of the Shen family, she will make sure his mother looks good!
Zhou Yaya was so angry that she didn't know what to say. She thought for a moment and said, "Xu Feng said he asked for leave from school and will be back in the next two days."
