Chapter 242: Chapter 246 Chapter 242: Chapter 246 With her eyes wide open, Zhang Hongi suddenly felt that no matter how she looked at her clothes, they seed uncomfortable and inferior. She discreetly straightened out her clothes, trying to make herself look as presentable as possible.
Sheng Ning caught her actions and couldn’t help but feel a tinge of worry. Having seen the best, could she ever settle down to be an ordinary person again?
On the spacious road, one could occasionally see cars and jeeps passing by, and well-dressed people walking past, all of whom gave Chen Huaying kind smiles as they saw her.
Lu Dabao even purposely pinched her cheek.
“When did Dabao co back?”
“Dabao, long ti no see!”
Lu Dabao’s face turned sour from the pinching, and she snorted coldly, “Hmph! Dabao sees you every day.”
“Wow! Even learned the ad jingles. If you move back here, then we’ll see you every day.”
The other people were automatically ignored and it was only then that the background crowd realized that Lu Dabao’s background was not simple either.
Usually, they saw her being bullied by Chen Huaying every day, hopping around lively, and it really hadn’t occurred to them.
When the greeters walked away, Lu Dabao touched her nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Chen Huaying’s ho was not far from the main gate, and they quickly arrived at the entrance. The group of girls was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, finding everything novel.
Even Sheng Ning couldn’t help but look around curiously. This was the General Union Courtyard, the place where the noble families with endless mystique lived.
In her previous life, Sheng Ning had struggled desperately to get in here, only to end up behind bars.
In this life, she only wanted to lead a stable and modest life through her own efforts. Unexpectedly, she still got the chance to co here, and sotis fate was just too ironic.
“I hear the Su Family, the Hai Family, the ng Family, and the Shen Family all live here?” Sheng Ning’s voice sounded ethereal.
Chen Huaying gave a thumbs-up, “Not bad at all! You’re quite well-inford. These four families are the big shots of our courtyard.” With that, she held up her thumb.
Chen Huaying’s house was a two-story building, with around two hundred square ters each floor, quite inconspicuous in the General Union Courtyard.
The front door had long been open, and the service staff imdiately ca to greet Chen Huaying as soon as they saw her.
“Yingzi is back! Are these your classmates?”
“Yes! Where’s my grandpa?” Chen Huaying took off her scarf around her neck and gestured for the others to enter the house.
“Please, co in, co in.” The service staff was a young man who didn’t look very old, and everyone walked in, curiously observing everything.
The interior decor was pretty much as Sheng Ning had imagined – a set of old-fashioned sofas, with a purple sand tea pot on the coffee table. In front of the window was a sewing machine, covered with a lace doily that looked well cared for.
“Please, have a seat!” Chen Huaying invited everyone to sit.
Liu Yilan and Lu Dabao had been here before and behaved naturally, with Lu Dabao even looking around for sothing to eat on her own.
Wu Youli ca from an intellectual family background, had been well-off since childhood, and sat down obediently like a well-behaved child.
Zhang Hongi twisted her sleeves nervously, unsure whether to sit or stand.
The service staff was specially there to take care of the old leader’s daily living and was not very good at cooking. Chen Huaying’s parents were away at a work team, leaving no one at ho to cook.
Qu Wu Liu had already received the news earlier and had prepared a variety of dishes at ho in advance.
“Brother Liu, where’s my grandpa?” Chen Huaying, not seeing anyone around, asked curiously.
“He’s playing chess with Su Leader, together with your brother.”
“My brother ca back too?” Chen Huaying looked surprised, “He’s actually willing to co back?”
