Chapter 25: Habits

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This light pink dress made Qin Yu look as elegant and noble as a princess.

Shi Xiao could not help but gasp deeply.

This brand was extraordinary! A fool like her actually deserved such luxury?

Jealousy stirred in her heart again.

Qu Li was not as observant as her daughter, and she failed to follow her gut feeling as she asked Qin Yu directly.

“Why are you wearing a dress today? Didn’t I tell you to put on overalls? Why? Are you not going to listen to what I say anymore?”

As she spoke, her tone became stern.

Qin Yu instinctively moved closer to Ning Chen’s side, and he placed his hand on her head.

She let out a sigh in her heart.

It was scary to get used to this; until this day, she was still unable to face her adoptive mother calmly.

She was afraid of her, from the bottom of her heart.

As soon as her ears picked up Qu Li’s voice, the memories of being beaten, scolded, and abused flashed through her mind.

Ning Chen could feel the change in her mood. He ruffled her hair and said gently, “This is the dress that Xiaoyu chose. She didn’t wear it for others to see, but to make herself happy.”

Then, he addressed his wife.

“Are you pleased?”

Qin Yu looked at Ning Chen and calmed herself down. She smiled and nodded.

“I’m overjoyed. Thank you, Brother!”

She could tell without looking what expression Qu Li had on her face.

Ning Chen glanced at Qu Li and her daughter.

“Why? Is CEO Shi not home? Are you all always so busy?”

Without waiting for the two of them to answer, he turned to Uncle Wen and said, “Get CEO Shi to come back. After all, they are Xiaoyu’s family.”

His butler went out to make a call.

Qu Li and Shi Xiao’s breathing started to slow.

This Ning Chen... Even as he was impaired, he still had such a powerful presence.

Shi Xiao kept recalling her previous plans; it seemed that they had underestimated him too much.

Ning Chen said to Qin Yu, “It’ll be rare for you to return. Bring me to your room.”

Qin Yu looked at her sister hesitantly. She could not guarantee that her room was still there.

Sure enough, Shi Xiao’s face was a little scrunched.

“Ah, that... Her room is a little messy. Qin Yu, let’s go and tidy it up real quick.”

She wanted to take her away alone.

Qin Yu naturally understood her intentions, and hesitated for a moment.

Qu Li hurriedly smiled and said, “Qin Yu, go upstairs with Xiaoxiao. The two of you haven’t seen each other for a few days. You must want to have a personal chat together, right?”

She called out to the servant again. “Quick, bring the fragrant pu’er tea from the old master’s study. Young Master Ning drinks tea, right?”

She’d finally re-established her position as the mistress of the household.

Ning Chen smiled faintly and nodded.

He instructed Sister Yu, “Ah Yu, accompany the young mistress so that she won’t be careless!”

“Yes!” The housekeeper answered, and trailed behind the two ladies. .

Shi Xiao frowned at this.

At the end of the corridor on the second floor was the most unfavorable and cramped room: Qin Yu’s room.

The moment the door opened, she saw that the place had been turned upside down, stacked high with piles of junk.

Qin Yu could not help but be shocked at the sight of this.

Shi Xiao said to Sister Yu, “This sister of mine has always been a person who only cared about food and clothes. She doesn’t care about anything else. Moreover, one of her biggest hobbies was to collect junk. Look at this room, it’s evident! Qin Yu, let me tell you. When you stay with the Ning family, you can’t do this anymore, you’ll be despised. Do you know that?”

Despised? Despised, my foot!

Qin Yu’s heart raced, burning with rage toward Shi Xiao.

She had seen her fair share of shameless people, but never to this extent. Her sister was the most shameless of them all!

Before she could say anything, Sister Yu had already said gently, “Young Mistress, do you have anything else to take away from the room? I will help you tidy it up and we will take it home.”

Qin Yu felt grateful toward her kindness.

Shi Xiao’s words had no effect on Sister Yu at all; the housekeeper only cared for her own young mistress of the Ning family.

If they had not been in this place, and Shi Xiao wasn’t directly in front of her, Qin Yu would have already reached out and hugged Sister Yu.

Shi Xiao’s face was unsightly as she glared fiercely at her sister.

Qin Yu shook her head lightly. “Ah Yu, there’s no need. It’s better to leave all of it here as it is.”

What could she even take with her?

Ever since she was young, anything she had ever liked had been destroyed by Shi Xiao.

In order to protect even just her tablet, she had been forced to compensate and sacrifice a lot.

She did not need anything from this small room. Everything that she needed was already with her in her mind.
