Chu Zhe nodded and said, “It’s normal that you didn’t see it. Our company has a partnership with the Su family, so I’m not considered a guest.”

Chu Ning was somewhat taken aback, but she soon took it as it was. In the original novel, for Big Brother to become a business tycoon at such a young age, he must have a certain foundation now. It was normal to collaborate with the Su family.

She secretly gave him a thumbs up. “Big Brother is indeed amazing. When I’m still a guest, Big Brother is already able to collaborate with the Su family.”

Chu Zhe smiled dotingly. “I haven’t asked you yet. I’ve seen the guest list and the list of family members. Why are you on the list of family members?”

As he spoke, Chu Zhe cast a look at Yan Shen and said meaningfully, “Xiao Ning Ning, Big Brother has never been willing to restrict your freedom, but it’s still a little too early for you to date in high school.”

Chu Ning looked at Chu Zhe, flabbergasted. She wondered why Big Brother’s thoughts could make such leaps. “Big Brother! We’re friends, and after we boarded the ship, Mr. Su Ming already gave me an invitation card. I’m not considered a family member now.”

As she spoke, Chu Ning took out the invitation card hidden in the pocket of her gown and waved it in front of Chu Zhe. She smiled craftily.

Chu Zhe nodded, his tone full of conviction. “Of course my sister is the best. It’s normal for her to have an invitation.” However, his tone changed as he continued, “But you’re still young, your family is still worried. What if someone takes advantage of your innocence and kindness to deceive and hurt you?”

Chu Ning was shocked by her own brother’s thought process. Although she was not a ruthless person, the words innocent and kind did not fit her at all.

Chu Zhe smiled at Yan Shen. He placed his hand on Chu Ning’s arm and pulled her behind him. “Young Master Yan, Xiao Ning and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. I still have some family matters to discuss with her, so we’ll have to excuse ourselves.”

Yan Shen naturally had no reason to stop her. He nodded politely and said, “Big Brother Chu, you’re too polite. I’m also going to bond with the Yan family’s business partners.”

The two of them nodded, fake smiles adorning their faces. Their eyes met, and fireworks were about to fly in the air.

Chu Zhe pulled Chu Ning and turned to go to a corner. Yan Shen stood where he was. When he saw Chu Ning turn around and give him a look as she walked, he couldn’t help but smile before turning around and leaving.

Chu Ning was wearing high heels and holding her gown as she struggled to follow Chu Zhe’s footsteps. “Big Brother, Big Brother!”

Chu Zhe stopped with a heavy expression and looked around. When he saw that no one was paying attention, he said in a deep voice, “Xiao Ning, tell Big Brother the truth. Are you dating that Young Master Yan?”

Chu Ning looked at Chu Zhe in amusement. He looked displeased, as if someone had taken away the flowers that he had carefully tended to at home.

Chu Ning looked at Big Brother’s dark expression and felt touched and amused. “No, I’m still young. Why would I be in a relationship? We’re just friends. He was bored, so he brought me here to have fun.”

Chu Zhe still didn’t believe it. Chu Ning sighed and acted pitiful. “What I said is true. Big Brother, you don’t even believe what I said?” Chu Ning wiped her eyes with her hands and looked heartbroken. “So you don’t trust me even a little?”

Even though he knew that Chu Ning was pretending, Chu Zhe still couldn’t bear to see her in such a pitiful state. He could only pat her head and sigh. “How could that be? Of course, Big Brother believes in you, but I’m worried that you would be deceived.”

Chu Ning put down her hand, still looking unhappy. Chu Zhe coaxed her helplessly, “Alright, alright. Our Xiao Ning is the best. No tricks can fool you.”

Only then did Chu Ning raise her head in satisfaction and reveal a smile. Chu Ning felt that she was usually calm and steady, but when she was in front of her family, she could not help but become childish.

Chu Ning secretly smiled, and a feeling of warmth surged in her heart. Perhaps this was family.

Chu Zhe patted Chu Ning’s shoulder and said gently, “Go, go and look for your friend. Big Brother has to go and get busy.”

Chu Ning nodded her head repeatedly, but she was still a little reluctant to part with him. “Big Brother, you have to take good care of yourself outside. Come and see me when you have time these few days!”

Chu Zhe smiled. “You’re still a child, I know. I might be very busy these few days. I’ll bring you to have fun when I’m free.” Looking at his precious sister whom he had just spent some time with, Chu Zhe was a little reluctant to part with her. He could only remind her, “Those who can come here are very shrewd and scheming. Don’t be deceived by others, but don’t easily offend others. There’s no harm in being on good terms with them.”
