152 The Protective Chu Jing

"Please don't use your filthy thoughts to speculate about my behavior. What I'm willing to do is my business, but let me remind you, don't be too proud. Otherwise, you will be the one suffering in the end."

Chu Ning really didn't want to embarrass Ye Ting on Father Chu's birthday. She didn't care what Ye Ting did, but she didn't want to hurt Father and Mother Chu. After all, Ye Ting had lived here for more than ten years, and Father and Mother Chu still had feelings for this adopted daughter.

"Sister is really overbearing. Let's wait and see, then?" After Ye Ting said this, Mother Chu came into the kitchen.

Thereafter, a sweet smile suddenly appeared on Ye Ting's face. She continued, "Sister is really amazing, unlike me, who doesn't know anything. Sigh, I'm not of any help to her."

"It's okay, Xiao Ting. You should go out. The kitchen smells strongly. I'll help Xiao Ning," Mother Chu hurriedly said.

Mother Chu wasn't aware of Ye Ting's true intentions. When Ye Ting had lived in the Chu family, she didn't even clean the dishes, let alone cook dinner.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

Ye Ting walked out after saying that. If she hadn't wanted to disgust Chu Ning, she wouldn't have bothered entering the kitchen.

After Ye Ting came out of the kitchen, her eyes fell on the room she used to live in.

Of course, it was Chu Ning's room now.

For some reason, Ye Ting suddenly wanted to go in and take a look.

She secretly looked at Chu Ning who was busy in the kitchen. After confirming that she didn't notice her, she walked straight to Chu Ning's room.

However, as soon as she reached the door of Chu Ning's room, Chu Jing's voice came from behind her. "Ye Ting, did you ask for Chu Ning's permission?"

Ye Ting stopped in her tracks. She turned around and saw Chu Jing's calm face.

"Second Brother, I just wanted to see my old room. I..."

Chu Jing had startled her. She even forgot to act coquettishly, although it wouldn't have had any effect on Chu Jing.

"Yes. It's true that you want to see your own room, but this is Chu Ning's room. You don't live here," Chu Jing continued to speak calmly.

When Chu Huan saw this situation, he wanted to say something but hesitated. He did not dare to go forward to persuade him.

When Second Brother was expressionless, it meant that he was really angry. Ye Ting was also aware of this.

Ye Ting did not even understand why the ever-gentle Second Brother was so hostile towards her.

In her memory, although her second brother was not the one who treated her the best in the Chu family, it was not to this extent where they were almost at loggerheads.

What Ye Ting did not know was that she was also very innocent.

Chu Jing had thought that Chu Ning's inexplicable disappearance had something to do with Ye Ting.

And now, the person who wanted to harm Chu Ning actually wanted to go to her room. What was she trying to do?

Chu Jing really could not tolerate such behavior.

"Okay, Second Brother. I know I'm in the wrong." Ye Ting walked to the sofa in a daze. In less than half a minute, her eyes gradually turned red.

Then, tears slowly flowed down her delicate cheeks. Just looking at her current appearance was enough to make people feel tender love for her.

Chu Huan opened his mouth wide. He felt very sorry for her, but then he looked at his big brother Chu Zhe and felt that only he could comfort Ye Ting.

"Xiao Ting, there's still a while before dinner starts. Will you go out for a walk with me first? Tell me if you have any grievances. Chu Jing's tone was indeed a little harsh earlier. I'll apologize on his behalf," Chu Zhe said gently.

"No need, Big Brother. Second Brother isn't wrong. It's my fault. I shouldn't have appeared here and caused trouble for you." Ye Ting rubbed her eyes and sobbed.

"What are you talking about? Xiao Ting, you've always been our sister. As long as you're willing, you're welcome here anytime. We'll always be your brothers."

Chu Zhe was also in a bit of a dilemma. He didn't expect Chu Jing to be so unfriendly towards Ye Ting. There must have been a misunderstanding, and it should be just as he expected.

"Let's go. I'll take you to buy your favorite cotton candy. Recently, the supermarket here seems to have launched the latest flavor."

Chu Zhe continued to patiently coax Ye Ting.

In the past, when Ye Ting had still been in the Chu family, every time she was unhappy, as long as Chu Zhe was around, he would take her to the store and buy her all kinds of things to coax her.

"Really, Big Brother? I knew it — you're the best."

A sweet smile swiftly appeared on Ye Ting's face. She quickly forgot about what had happened earlier. In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the days when she was still in the Chu family, and her big brother, Chu Zhe, was spoiling her as usual.

She just wanted to continue to possess these elder brothers' love for her.

"Of course." Chu Zhe nodded with a smile.
