Logically speaking, Chu Xi should feel much more at ease after Chu Tian and Li Sulan leave.
But after they left, Chu Xi became restless, tangled her hands and fingers together, and kept biting the flesh on the inside of her chin with her teeth, biting and releasing, biting and releasing again.
Damn it, Sang Ning is coming soon, how should she speak?
"Miss Sang Ning, the dining place is right here. Please come in."
While Chu Xi was still struggling, she heard the voice of the waiter outside the door. She had slumped shoulders and hunched back, but she immediately sat up straight and her expression returned to normal.
"Thank you." Sang Ning thanked the waiter and stepped through the door.
As soon as she entered the door, her eyes met with Chu Xi's. Chu Xi saw that she no longer had the arrogance of the past, and her expression looked very calm, but the slight twinkle in her eyes still revealed her uneasiness.
Chu Xi's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something. She leaned forward, as if to stand up, but after pursed her lips, she still sat back down firmly.
Sang Ning only took a deep look at Chu Xi, and treated her as saying hello, then found a seat directly opposite Chu Xi and sat down.
In front of Sang Ning was a large revolving dining table, sitting opposite Chu Xi with a sense of distance.
Chu Xi couldn't sit still anymore. She raised her finger and pointed to the chair next to her. She squinted at Sang Ning and said, "There are so many positions, why did you choose such a far away position? Am I some kind of scourge? I let you avoid me like this."
Not as good as that."
Chu Xi has changed her gender? Sang Ning’s eyes raised slightly. Wouldn’t he always want to keep a thousand miles away from her?
"Then where do you want me to sit?" Sang Ning asked, she didn't believe that Chu Xi could invite her to sit next to her.
"Just here, you are so far away and it's inconvenient to talk. Do you want me to yell?" Chu Xi patted the chair closest to her and signaled to Sang Ning.
Sang Ning narrowed her eyes and looked at Chu Xi with interest: "Have you really changed your gender?"
"What sex change?" Chu Xi asked confused.
"Nothing." As she spoke, Sang Ning stood up and sat down next to Chu Xi.
It was rare for Chu Xi to relent, so Sang Ning naturally didn't mind giving her a little more face.
"I'm here, tell me what you want to tell me." Sang Ning said in a lazy tone.
Then, a sound as loud as the buzzing of a mosquito rang in her ears. She turned her eyes and saw Chu Xi squeaking her lips a few times quickly, looking very reluctant.
"If you want to speak louder, the buzzing is just like a mosquito lying on my body to suck blood." Sang Ning joked.
Chu Xi thought to herself that she had apologized and she had completed the task assigned to her by Chu Tian. As for Sang Ning's inability to hear clearly, she could only blame her for her deafness.
"You can't hear well. That's a problem with your ears. What's wrong? Do you want me to give you, a poor guy, a hearing aid?" After completing the task and apologizing, Chu Xi wanted to choke Sang Ning for no reason. She didn't want to make Sang Ning feel better.
"Is the word I'm sorry so hot?" Sang Ning stared at Chu Xi closely, "Chu Tian asked you to do this, right? Since you want to apologize, just do it sincerely. If you do this, don't blame me.
I'll put on your little shoes in front of Chu Tian later."
"You—" Chu Xi stood up reflexively, her eyes widened, glaring at Sang Ning, and said in disbelief, "How do you know?"
Sang Ning shrugged her shoulders in response. How else could she know that with Chu Xi's temperament, unless she was pressed on the head, she would not admit her mistake obediently.
Chu Xi interpreted Sang Ning's indifferent expression as a threat. Although she was reluctant, she still lowered her head and compromised: "I'm sorry, is this okay?"
Chu Xi's attitude and tone were completely without sincerity, she was just trying to complete the task.
Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, it was always pleasant to Sang Ning's ears.
"You should know that the person you really want to apologize to should not be me." Although Sang Ning looked up at Chu Xi, the momentum of her words gained the upper hand.
Chu Xi obviously felt oppressed and didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She simply sat down and kept her eyes level with Sang Ning.
"If you still miss your parents' friendship for you, I hope you can give them an explanation so as not to chill their hearts." Sang Ning did not use the words "adoptive father and adoptive mother", but directly used the terms "parents" and "sangyou"
Ming and Hu Zhi were indeed Chu Xi’s parents.
"Some things will be embarrassing if others tell you. While others are still willing to give you dignity, I hope you can cherish this opportunity." Sang Ning continued.
Chu Xi felt uncomfortable being stared at by Sang Ning, so she looked away and stopped looking at Sang Ning.
"What about you? Do you miss the friendship your parents had for you? Aren't you the same person as me?" Chu Xi choked back unconvinced.
When it comes to who is the white-eyed wolf, it is obviously Sang Ning. She was treated like a princess when she was in the Chu family.
Now that she has left the Chu family, no matter what hardships she endures, the blessings she has enjoyed before are more than enough to make up for it. The person who should be most grateful is Sang Ning. Since she has lived a good life for twenty years, she deserves to suffer now.
"Those are not my parents." Sang Ning corrected her sternly.
Although she doesn't know what the relationship is between her and Sang Ning in the book, in her consciousness she is a time traveler. She has no memory of getting along with Chu Tian and Li Sulan, so naturally she cannot substitute for the feeling that they were her parents.
What's more, Li Sulan gave her a slap in the face at the beginning, and the feud has long been forged.
Chu Tian and Li Sulan continued to make trouble for her later on. If she didn't take revenge maliciously, she could be considered a good person.
"I won't say much more. Although you are the daughter of the Chu family now, you still have your own thinking ability. You have to take the initiative when you need to take the initiative. Don't wait until afterward to make up for it." Sang Ning said this.
After saying that, he stood up and moved to a position aside, not that far away from Chu Xi, but not that close either.
Chu Xi paused, and the faces of Sang Youming and Hu Zhi suddenly flashed through her mind. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
"Ouch, let me see who is here?" As soon as Sang Ning sat down, an exaggerated voice sounded from afar.
She raised her eyes and saw Li Sulan walking in with a smile on her face, followed by Chu Tian.
"It's Xiao Ning here. My parents haven't sat down and had a good meal with you for a long time. Mom misses her so much." Li Sulan walked towards Sang Ning with a smile, her tone of voice was friendly, like a loving elder.
Chu Tian also echoed: "Xiao Ning has been with you for the past twenty years. I have only been away from home for a few months, and you are already missing me. You are really worthless."
The two couples sang together and walked to Sang Ning's side, sat down one on the left and the other on the right, and surrounded Sang Ning. Their enthusiasm was overwhelming.
Sang Ning couldn't stand their sudden approach and pulled her chair back: "Mingren don't talk secretly. What you want to say should be straightforward and don't act in front of me."
