Chapter 99 Brotherly Love
She didn't know what to say.

She is not someone who cares about money; what she cares more about is character.

I am afraid that my sincerity will be betrayed.

Seeing Ren Yuqing's hesitation, Murong Duo comforted her: "Yuqing, don't say anything, I know what you are thinking."

"For someone like you who has never been in a relationship, once you truly open your heart to a man, you will be hopelessly trapped in him and will give your feelings and love to him regardless of everything."

"But at the same time, once you are betrayed, the hurt you suffer will also make you heartbroken."

"So you will observe, test, and have concerns. This is consistent with your cautious character and is also a reflection of your self-protection."

"But Yuqing, I can see that you have begun to fall in love with him. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so sensitive and entangled."

Murong Duo touched Ren Yuqing's arm and joked.

Ren Yuqing lowered her head and drank coffee to hide her embarrassment.

"However, from what you said about him, I feel that this boy is quite good. He is very motivated and even set up a stall on New Year's Day to earn money for the down payment on a house. He is really planning your future."

"Your boyfriend is really like my first love. Although he comes from a humble background, he never complains, actively embraces life, and supports himself."

Murong Duo comforted.

Ren Yuqing nodded.

Naturally, she understood what Murong Duo said.

She also felt that she was worrying too much.

But the human heart is always unpredictable.

Years of experience in the business world made it difficult for Ren Yuqing to let down her guard against one person.

Moreover, he was a stranger whom I had only known for a month or two!
Seeing her sisters so entangled, Murong Duo smiled cheerfully.

"Okay Yuqing, stop worrying about it."

"As your friend, leave this matter to me."

"Let me help you test his character."

"See if he's with you because he's with you or because he's with you for your money." Murong Duo said very loyally.

Ren Yuqing was so frightened when she heard this that she almost spit out the coffee in her mouth.

"What do you want to do?"

"Don't mess around."

Ren Yuqing is in a state of trauma.

Her grandfather had already made a fool of himself once before when he interfered in her relationship with Chu Ning.

And now Murong Duo seems to want to intervene as well.

Ren Yuqing couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Don't cause any more trouble.

Moreover, if Chu Ning knew that I sent someone to test him, given that guy's personality, he would definitely be angry.

"Yuqing, do you think I look like a messy person?"

"I will think about how to help you these few days. Once I have a plan, I will communicate with you first. I will implement it only after seeking your consent."

Murong Duo is more thorough in doing things.

After hearing this, Ren Yuqing finally felt relieved.

After a while, it was getting dark.

Murong Duo invited Ren Yuqing to have dinner together.

However, Ren Yuqing refused. She had been out all day and it was time for her to go home.

"Are you going to accompany your boyfriend again?"

"Go ahead. A gentleman helps others to achieve their goals. I won't compete with him for you."

Murong Duo didn't try to persuade Ren Yuqing to stay any longer and let her go back.

The driver dropped Ren Yuqing off at the gate of the community, and then she walked home.

But as soon as she arrived downstairs of her house, Ren Yuqing heard someone calling her name.

Ren Yuqing looked up and found that Chu An was waiting at the door of the unit with his little nephew Huanhuan.

"Big brother?"

"How did you come?"

Ren Yuqing was a little surprised. She changed her previous cold and arrogant expression, immediately put on a smile and greeted Chu An.

Of course, all this enthusiasm was deliberately displayed by Ren Yuqing.

She didn't want to give Chu Ning's elder brother the impression that she was cold and unapproachable.

"It's not Chinese New Year, so I steamed some flower cakes, date rolls, fried meatballs and the like. Your sister-in-law and I couldn't finish them, so we brought them to you."

"I thought that you two were busy with work and must not have bought these New Year's goods." Chu An was carrying a big bag full of New Year's goods.

In Chu'an's hometown, every New Year's Day the family would steam flower cakes, date rolls, and fry meatballs. This is a custom passed down from ancestors.

The brothers Chu An and Chu Ning grew up eating this food. Ren Yuqing naturally didn't understand this.

Their family also prepared New Year's goods, but they were all delicacies from land and sea such as king crabs, abalone, and ginseng. It was the first time that Ren Yuqing had heard of things like date rolls and fried meatballs.

Although she didn't understand, Ren Yuqing still put on a smile, took it from Chu An, and kept saying thank you.

"We're a family, why be polite?"

"By the way, where's Xiao Ning?"

"I knocked on your house just now but no one opened the door. Could that brat be setting up a stall again on New Year's Day?" Chu An asked.

Ren Yuqing smiled awkwardly and nodded.

"This kid really values ​​money over his life. Come on, I'll carry it home for you first. It's quite heavy."

Chu An didn't let Ren Yuqing carry it, but sent it up directly.

Chu An was about to go back after sending her off. Ren Yuqing wanted to keep him for dinner, but Chu An insisted on leaving.

As soon as I came down, I met Chu Ning who was coming back from his stall.

When Chu Ning learned that his elder brother had come specially to give him New Year's goods, he felt a sudden pang of sadness.

When Chu Ning was a child, his family was poor, and what he looked forward to most was eating flower cakes and fried meatballs during the Chinese New Year.

Later, his parents had an accident and his eldest brother married into the Du family. But even so, they still steamed flower cakes every year.

This is almost Chu Ning’s deepest memory of the Chinese New Year.

Now that I have a family, I don't have time to do it, but my eldest brother is still thinking about it and sends it to Chu Ning after he finishes it.

In their hometown, flower cake symbolizes a better life in the coming year.

Chu Ning understood that what his elder brother sent was not flower cakes, but blessings for him and Ren Yuqing.

That kind of heavy friendship naturally touched Chu Ning.

Therefore, Chu Ning refused to let his elder brother leave no matter what and insisted that he stay at home to have dinner before going back.

For this, Chu Ning even bought a bottle of good wine, and was scolded by his elder brother. Spending more than 100 yuan on a bottle of wine was simply a waste.

But Chu Ning was happy.

Just because, those sitting next to him are his closest relatives.

In the end, Chu An couldn't resist and finished his dinner at his brother's house.

After dinner, Chu An didn’t stay long as he had to rush home to cook.

"Isn't my sister-in-law having dinner with friends tonight? Didn't Ziqi and Shengnan go to their grandmother's house? Who are you cooking for?" Chu Ning wondered.

"I have a brother-in-law at home. He has been quarreling with his family and has been living with me recently. I have to go back to serve him." Although Chu An was angry, there was nothing he could do. No matter how useless his brother-in-law was, he had to take care of him for the sake of his wife's face.

Chu Ning didn't know what to say, so as not to cause conflict between his eldest brother and sister-in-law, so he let his eldest brother go home.

Before leaving, Ren Yuqing reminded Chu Ning whether he should give Huanhuan some New Year's money.

Chu Ning then remembered that he had forgotten what to do about this matter.

He immediately took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and gave it to Huanhuan.

When living at his eldest brother's house in the past two years, Chu Ning would give Huanhuan 1,000 yuan as a New Year's gift every year.

But this time, Chu An refused to accept it and only took a hundred symbolically.

Chu Ning is getting married now, so there will be many places to spend money in the future, so he needs to be frugal in all aspects.

There was no way. Chu Ning couldn't compete with his elder brother, so he just let him do what he wanted.

After sending him downstairs, I found it was snowing outside again.

It was not safe for the eldest brother to come here with Huanhuan on an electric bike, so Chu Ning borrowed Ren Yuqing's car and sent the eldest brother back home.

I'll just send the electric car to them tomorrow, since they don't live far away anyway.

"Brother, have you really never thought about divorcing your sister-in-law?" Chu Ning couldn't help but say something more on the way.

In the past two years, Chu Ning saw everything Du Wei did, and she didn't seem to be able to live her life at all.

This made Chu Ning feel sorry for his elder brother.

Chu An smiled bitterly: "We are an old couple, and getting divorced is not a joke. Besides, although there is no love between your sister-in-law and I, we have three children after all. If we really get divorced, the three children will suffer."

Chu An had this thought before.

But the idea was soon dispelled.

After all, he had supported this family for more than ten years, so how could he bear to destroy it with his own hands?

While the two brothers were chatting, the eldest brother's cell phone suddenly rang.

A call from Du Wei.

As soon as Chu An answered the phone, Du Wei scolded him: "It's time for dinner and you're not cooking. Where the hell have you been?"

"I'm on my way back. Why are you in such a hurry? I'll be there soon." Chu An replied and hung up the phone.

Soon, Chu Ning sent his elder brother downstairs to the community.

Chu An asked Chu Ning to go back, but Chu Ning insisted on sending his elder brother home. He thought that if his elder sister-in-law scolded his elder brother again, he would have to teach her a lesson!
