540 Ye Ting’s Transfer

“The rules of survival for big families are cruel. There is no brotherhood between us to speak of. To us, kinship is a very extravagant term. I still had some feelings for my parents; the more I grew up, the more the connection between us gradually disappeared. As for Zhou Hao, if his parents can be exchanged for sufficient personal benefits, he can sacrifice them without hesitation.” Zhou Wei seemed to be describing a trivial matter.

“I understand.” Chu Ning nodded.

“However, if Zhou Hao dies, the Zhou family will definitely point the spearhead at you. At that time…”

Before Zhou Wei could finish, Chu Ning continued, “I won’t make things difficult for you.”

Zhou Wei said coldly, “No, you misunderstood me. I hope you can help me. If we work together, you have to help me deal with the Zhou family. The Zhou family is not mine yet. The old master’s desire for power and wealth is too strong. He’s already so advanced in years; it’s time for him to give up his position. The future belongs to us.”

The next morning, after the weekend ended, it was Monday…

As usual, Chu Ning returned to Jingyuan High School for classes.

The final exams were getting ever closer, and the summer vacation was about to begin.

When she reached the classroom door, Chu Ning heard a lively discussion in the class, although she couldn’t make out what was being said.

When these students noticed Chu Ning’s arrival, they fell silent again. Among them, Wang Li looked at her with a particularly vicious gaze.

She didn’t know what had happened between Chu Ning and Ye Ting the previous Saturday night.

Only some of Chu Ning’s classmates who were on good terms with her looked at her strangely.

“What’s wrong, Xiaomi? Did something big happen in class today?” Chu Ning asked in confusion.

Xiaomi looked excited when she saw Chu Ning. She quickly replied, “Nothing major happened. It’s just that a classmate left. I heard that she transferred schools.

“Chu Ning, did you do this?” Xiaomi continued curiously.

“That’s right, Chu Ning. Everyone wondered if Ye Ting was scared by you. Some students who came early today said that Ye Ting’s face was expressionless when she came to the classroom, like a zombie. It’s quite scary.”

“You and Ye Ting have always been on bad terms. Now that she has finally left, may I ask you what are your thoughts?”

“Chu Ning, Ye Ting has transferred schools. Now, there’s finally no one in class who will go against you. This is like a tug-of-war, and eventually, it ends with your victory.”

The students around Chu Ning expressed their opinions one after another.

“That’s not right.”

Immediately, a student whispered, “Although Ye Ting has left, it’s not that she has no successor; there’s still Yu Yan.”

After hearing these students’ words, Chu Ning also looked toward Ye Ting’s seat.

Ye Ting’s table had been cleared of all its books. It seemed that she really could no longer stay in Jingyuan High School.

She had transferred schools.

Chu Ning knew that Ye Ting’s transfer was unequivocally related to her.

However, this was not her fault. After all, it was Ye Ting who wanted to provoke her first.

Chu Ning chose not to compromise this time. She fought back. Ye Ting was almost scared silly by her shocking actions.

It could only be said that Chu Ning’s previous methods of dealing with Ye Ting had been too gentle.

Therefore, this counterattack left a deep shadow in Ye Ting’s heart. She understood that Chu Ning was not an existence that she could provoke.

Ye Ting had known about it before, but she had never experienced it personally. This was also the reason she had been constantly testing Chu Ning’s bottom line.

Directly leaving school was the only thing Ye Ting could do.

This time, she had lost completely.

On the spiritual level, even if Ye Ting saw Chu Ning again in the future, she would never be able to raise her head.

She had already lost the courage and qualifications to be Chu Ning’s opponent.

Ye Ting’s transfer also sent a signal to Chu Ning — the Ye family was prepared to stand on the opposite side of her.

Ye Zhen’s words before he left that night were not meant to threaten her.
