Ning Shu hadn’t yet finished spending the 100,000 yuan from the An family, but now she had even more money.

  Ning Shu intended to buy a house in the city. It was only when she owned a house that she could truly have a place to call home. However, it was difficult to buy a house, so she’d been putting it off.

  Sister Li told Ning Shu to put a down payment on the house. After that, the monthly payment would become much easier.

  Ning Shu took out the 100,000 yuan from the An family, plus the money she earned in the past two years. It’d be enough for the down payment.

  Sister Li asked Ning Shu whether there was enough money and said that if there wasn’t, she could lend her some. Ning Shu shook her head. She had set her eyes on an apartment that was small, but enough for her to live with her child.

  Although the apartment was small, the price was high due to its location. Ning Shu paid the down payment and obtained the title deed. Her household registration was also moved to the city.

  Now that she had a debt to pay off, Ning Shu worked even harder. She accepted two more cases every month, and gradually more people came to Ning Shu with cases.

  Ning Shu wouldn’t take cases where the win rate seemed very low. She needed her reputation of always having successful cases. Besides, some of the cases were obviously wrong or illegal. There was no need to waste time on them.

  She had now been in the city for almost three years. When Chinese New Year came around, Ning Shu planned to go back.

  In the past few years, Ning Shu hadn’t been in contact with Chen Ning’s maiden family. Nothing good would come from contacting them. Instead, it would just be dragging her down into the mud again. She would just spend a few years working hard.

  Although she hadn’t been to Chen Ning’s hometown for a long time, Ning Shu still planned to go back once.

  Ning Shu had difficulty buying plane tickets. The Spring Festival caused most of the flights to be completely filled.

  Holding Nannan while standing in the familiar city again, Ning Shu let out a long sigh. She found a hotel and dropped off her things in her room.

  She went to the mall to buy some gifts before going to the Chen family’s house.

  Ning Shu carried two bags, one large and one small, in one hand and Nannan in the other. Nannan was now three years old; she’d soon be able to attend kindergarten.

  Ning Shu rang the doorbell, but the door didn’t open even after being rung several times. Ning Shu kept ringing again and again on purpose.

  “I’m coming, what are you rushing me for?” A young woman opened the door. She had messy dyed yellow hair and was wearing oversized pajamas with slippers on her feet.

  This should be Chen Ning’s sister-in-law, Ning Shu sneered internally.

  While Ning Shu was looking at the other person, the other person was also looking at Ning Shu. She looked Ning Shu over from top to bottom, her eyes becoming brighter the more she looked.

  This woman was covered in famous brands. The sister-in-law’s gaze was fixed on Ning Shu’s bag, and she coughed before asking, “Who are you looking for?”


  Ning Shu didn’t miss the wolf-like glint in her eyes. She handed her the bags in her hand. “I am your sister-in-law, please hold these things for a second.”


  Ning Shu walked in and took off her shoes. The woman stared at the shoes Ning Shu removed.

  “Sister-in-law?” The woman was stunned for a moment. She didn’t quite dare to believe it. She knew that there was such a woman in the Chen family, but she had left immediately after her divorce and never contacted them.

  This woman covered from head to

  toe in famous brands was her husband’s older sister?

  The sister-in-law was nearly jumping around in excitement. With so many famous brands on her body, she must be very rich.

  ?Chapter 1911: Your Sister Is Back

  “Wait here, I’ll call Chen An,” the sister-in-law quickly said to Ning Shu. Then she said eagerly, “Sit on the sofa first. We have fruit, you should have some.”


  The sister-in-law entered the room and woke Chen An who was still sleeping. “Your sister is back.”


  “Who?” Chen An asked doubtfully.

  “Your sister,” she said excitedly. “Don’t sleep any longer, get up.”


  “If she’s back, then she’s back. It’s probably just that she couldn’t survive outside any longer,” Chen An said uncaringly, pulling the quilt over his head.

  “Nonsense, your sister is decked out in famous brands. The clothes and bags on her body look super good. Quickly get up.” She pulled Chen An.

  Chen An was taken aback. “How is that possible?”


  “You’ll know when you see her.”


  Chen An got up at once and opened the door to look at Ning Shu in the living room. He rubbed his eyes, hardly daring to believe that the person on the sofa was Chen Ning. This woman was actually his sister?

  No way this was her, okay? The woman in the past and the woman now were as different as night and day.

  “Sister, you’re back,” Chen An said as he walked over to Ning Shu. Seeing the child snuggling in Ning Shu’s arms, he suddenly exclaimed, “Nannan is already so big! Nannan, I am your uncle.”


  Ning Shu hummed in response, and asked coldly, “Where are my parents?”


  “Mom is out shopping and Dad went for a walk,” Chen An immediately said. Suppressed by Ning Shu’s demeanor, his whole person appeared very restrained. He sized her up.

  “Sister, where have you been these last few years? We’ve all been worried to death,” Chen An said. “Why didn’t you call at all?”


  Ning Shu was too lazy to answer him. Society was just like this. If you weren’t seen as capable, people would look down on you. Once you flourished, people would fawn over you. Worshiping the strong and trampling the weak was simply human nature.

  Their feelings towards other people were quite apathetic.

  Ning Shu only talked to Nannan, she ignored the young couple completely.

  The sister-in-law watching the two from the side hurriedly winked at Chen An. Chen An also felt anxious. He picked up a fruit from the bowl on the table and handed it to Nannan, saying, “Here, Nannan, Uncle will give you an apple.”


  Nannan looked at Ning Shu with a face full of suspicion and asked, “Mom, is he really my uncle? What’s an uncle? Why have I never seen him before?”


  Ning Shu said gently, “Uncle is mom’s younger brother. Mom’s been out of town all these years. It’s normal for you to not know your uncle since you’ve never seen him before.”


  “Nannan, right? I’m your aunt,” The sister-in-law leaned over and said.

  “Sister, you must be thirsty. I’ll pour you a glass of water,” the sister-in-law said to Ning Shu.

  Ning Shu waved her hand. “Don’t worry about it, I’m going to wait for my parents to come back.”


  Ning Shu’s expression was indifferent. If she had decided to dress in clothes that looked even slightly more ordinary or cheap, she wouldn’t have been given this treatment.

  Chen An saw that Ning Shu was very indifferent towards himself. He looked at the clothes worn by Ning Shu and Nannan. They were all exquisitely crafted. Whether a dress looked good or not depended on its overall shape, and the clothes worn by the two of them were beautifully tailored.

  Nannan was dressed very prettily. Her clothes and her small leather shoes made her look like a little angel.

  Chen An leaned towards Ning Shu and asked, “Sister, where have you been these past few years?”


  “I didn’t go anywhere,” Ning Shu said faintly. “Give Mom a call. I’m only coming back this one time. I’ll be leaving soon.”


  “Why must you leave so soon? Why not stay at home for a few days?” Chen An immediately said. “Both Mom and Dad miss you a lot. You should stay for longer, Mom missed you so much that she cried.”
