CHAPTER 150: CHAPTER 150: WHY ARE YOU WORRYING SO MUCH?

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."

The sound of boiling water.

Bai Xiaotang never expected that the famous Miss Sun from Beijing would arrive so late, empty-handed, to eat hot pot at her place.

Isn’t she afraid of getting soup stains on that white couture dress?

But Sun Yazhu didn’t care about what the young lady of the Bai Family thought. She simply wanted to be near Ji Ning, which is why she used the excuse of eating hot pot to come to the famous garden villa.

Even the ingredients were sent over by Secretary Gao at her request.

The steam enveloped the milky soup, and the tender beef rolls turned from red to gray.

Sun Yazhu wore a faint smile, watching Ji Ning devour the food.

Bai Xiaotang looked between the two, unsure why Miss Sun was so fond of her Sister Ning.

"Hiss—"

Suddenly, Bai Xiaotang inhaled sharply.

The pain in her foot made her immediately look at Lin Yuanyang beside her.

Lin Yuanyang stood up obediently, pushed up his glasses, and gave her a look, "Sister Tangtang, the drinks are almost out, could you help make another bottle of juice?"

Bai Xiaotang got up right away, pointing cooperatively to the kitchen, "I’ll help with that. Sister Yazhu, what kind of fruit juice would you like?"

Sun Yazhu’s voice was very pleasant, "Anything will do."

Once the two of them slipped into the kitchen and closed the door, Ji Ning paused from her meat-eating, "What’s up?"

"Do you know about the Bai Family’s in-laws?"

Ji Ning held her juice and replied directly, "Chang Ru."

"Yes, her." Sun Yazhu’s expression was no longer as relaxed as before, "She came to find me this afternoon, told me not to go out alone these days, might run into trouble. She said her sixth sense is very special, spoke very vaguely, but I think someone might be backing her."

Ji Ning thought of what Lin Yuanyang had mentioned about Chang Ru before, also said her sixth sense was strong, but not a prophecy superpower.

She nodded slightly, "There shouldn’t be anyone. I’ve heard something about her, she’s had this ability since she was young. It’s not prophecy superpower, but it can avoid harm."

Sun Yazhu was slightly stunned, "So she’s telling the truth?"

"Not entirely, there’s always something odd in unusual situations." Ji Ning spoke calmly, putting a piece of beef into her mouth.

"I don’t believe it either, but she sounded so confident, it made me a bit concerned. If it wasn’t for what happened earlier..."

Wait, is she talking about that previous matter?

Sun Yazhu looked at Ji Ning, and with their eyes meeting, Ji Ning understood her thought.

Ji Ning swallowed the beef in her mouth, and somewhat agreed with Sun Yazhu’s idea, but didn’t understand how Chang Ru knew about it.

"That issue, my family has already taken care of the aftermath. How could she, a young lady in Beijing, know about something a thousand miles away?" Sun Yazhu’s gaze turned sharper, the steam from the hot pot partially veiling her expression.

Ji Ning picked another piece of beef, placed it in her bowl, dipped it in the prepared sauce, and glanced at her, "Some things will eventually seek the truth, no need to rush. See what she wants. Don’t you know exactly what to do?"

Sun Yazhu paused, a smile appearing on her lips, "That’s true."

She wisely chose not to mention her suspicion about the Bai Family, as Ji Ning seemed to trust this young lady of the Bai Family.

In the kitchen—

Bai Xiaotang leaned against the door, trying to hear the conversation between the two, but the sound of the juicer that Lin Yuanyang was using was too loud, only allowing her to catch fragments of words intermittently.

Lin Yuanyang rolled his eyes at her sneaky demeanor, "If you want to listen, go out and listen openly."

Bai Xiaotang turned around and waved her hand.

Lin Yuanyang turned off the juicer and, holding the large cup of juice, moved to the door, "Step aside."

"Xiao Yang..." Bai Xiaotang gestured for silence, speaking in a low voice, "Don’t you think Miss Sun is a bit mysterious?"

Lin Yuanyang naturally knew Sun Yazhu had a purpose for coming here, but he believed Ji Ning wouldn’t harm them.

If so, why bother worrying about an outsider’s matters?

"Why are you worrying so much?"

"Will she ask Sister Ning to do things for her?"

Lin Yuanyang was a bit surprised, had Bai Xiaotang become enlightened?

"Sister Ning is a student, busy with coursework during the week, and helps guide the film crew on weekends. If another person asks her for favors, then Sister Ning will have even less time to teach us." Bai Xiaotang was worried.

Previously, due to some matters, Sister Ning had entrusted them to Instructor Ying Huang. If Sun Yazhu comes, would Sister Ning have less time for them?

Lin Yuanyang rolled his eyes directly.

Supporting the tray with one hand, he opened the kitchen door with the other.

At this time, Ji Ning and Sun Yazhu’s conversation had also come to a close, Sun Yazhu was very attentive to Ji Ning, serving her meat and vegetables like an older sister.

Lin Yuanyang set the juice down, pursed his lips.

Is the Sun Family trying to win over Ji Ning because they know she’s a superpower user?

Lin Yuanyang couldn’t ascertain whether Sun Yazhu knew Ji Ning’s identity, but he knew one thing.

He mustn’t let Ji Ning get too involved with the Sun Family.

The Sun Family is too profit-driven, they would surely control Ji Ning if they knew her abilities.

"Sister Ning, the 11th is Brother Yu Sen’s birthday, we plan to give him a surprise." Lin Yuanyang said abruptly.

Sun Yazhu narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Lin Yuanyang and Bai Xiaotang.

Bai Yusen, huh?

"Brother Yu Sen is usually very busy, every year Tangtang prepares gifts for him. This year, we’re far away, so we want to return to Beijing to see him."

Ji Ning took a sip of her drink, looked at Lin Yuanyang and Bai Xiaotang, "You two are going back to Beijing?"

"No, it’s the three of us. Sister Ning, are you free on the evening of the 11th?" Lin Yuanyang looked at her expectantly.

Ji Ning stared at him for a while, then acknowledged, "Mm."

"Then let’s all go back to Beijing together." Lin Yuanyang decided firmly.

Bai Xiaotang, who hadn’t expressed any opinions throughout, winced in pain as she touched her wrist that had been clutched red.

What did this kid eat? Why so strong?

***

After dinner, it was already past 10 PM.

Ji Ning accompanied Sun Yazhu downstairs.

The two descended the elevator, and Sun Yazhu laughed lightly, "The two kids by your side, are from the Bai Family and Lin Family, right?"

Ji Ning nodded slightly.

Sun Yazhu continued, "The Bai Family is relatively simple, but the Lin Family is more complex. The young master of the Lin Family has a stepmother, who is said to be the former secretary of the Lin Family Head, and is now pregnant. Before the young master ran away from home, he had a conflict with this stepmother and almost caused her to miscarry..."

"I don’t care about these matters."

Ji Ning’s words cut off Sun Yazhu.

Sun Yazhu looked at Ji Ning and smiled, "Sorry, saying too much."

Ji Ning gave no reply, her expression neutral, revealing no emotion.

Sun Yazhu harbored doubts but didn’t continue the conversation, switching topics, "Sister Ji, when are you going to stream live? Next week there’s a food festival in Sea City, sponsored by the Sun Family. There’s a cooking contest, and they need some judges. Do you want to participate?"

Ji Ning wasn’t much interested in being a judge, but she was very interested in eating.

"Is it free to eat?"
