185 In Trouble
“Hello, are you Miss Chu? You have a delivery here. There is a delivery station two kilometers away from the address you provided. The sender specially noted that it is urgent. Please come and sign for it.”
The delivery man’s spoke continuously, which made Chu Ning feel puzzled.
Who would send a parcel to her at this time, and even request for her to go down personally to get it?
“Hello, can I ask who sent it and where it came from?” Chu Ning asked with a smile.
“The sender here is Mr. Chu Ming, from XX District,” the courier replied patiently.
“Then send me the address, I’ll get it later,” Chu Ning continued.
“You must come to get it personally. This is the request written on the sender’s remarks,” the courier reminded Chu Ning.
“Okay, I got it.” A moment later, Chu Ning hung up the phone and was deep in thought.
After thinking for a while, she called Father Chu.
“Dad, why are you sending me clothes?” Chu Ning asked sweetly. She planned to call him directly to verify it.
“It’s like this. I saw the national weather forecast last night. It said that the temperature will drop sharply tonight, so I rushed to send your clothes over overnight,” Father Chu said very gently.
“Sigh, Dad. You got it wrong. The local weather forecast here indicates that the temperature drop will occur the day after tomorrow. I will leave after the exam tomorrow. I won’t stay until the day after tomorrow.”
Chu Ning felt a little helpless. She was thinking that the weather forecast was too unreliable. How could the forecast have discrepancies when reported in different location?
However, to Chu Ning’s surprise, there was a rare silence on the other end of the phone for a short while.
“Xiao Ning, aren’t you going to get it?” Chu Ning could faintly detect a sense of disappointment in Father Chu’s voice this time.
She had originally wanted to explain that the school’s rules were her reason for not being able to immediately receive it.
But now, it seemed that if she really did this, she would have let her parents down. Originally, they couldn’t do much for her, but if she refused now, it would probably break their hearts.
“No, Dad. I’ll go get it later. Thank you for your thoughts.” Chu Ning instantly understood this logic, so she could only agree first.
After chatting for a while, Chu Ning hung up the phone helplessly.
Now she really regretted her initial suggestion.
Now, it was her, the initiator, who was being restrained…
“Chu Ning, what’s wrong?” Luo Yu smiled, seeing the conflicted look on Chu Ning’s face.
“Luo Yu, do you know the story of Shang Yang’s political reform?” Chu Ning asked with a sigh.
“Of course I do. Didn’t we learn this from the history books?” Luo Yu was a little surprised. She felt that Chu Ning’s question was somewhat inexplicable.
“Shang Yang created a brand new legal system for his country, but in the end, he died by the rules that he set. Now that I think about it, I think it’s a little ridiculous.” Chu Ning felt that her current situation was somewhat similar to Shang Yang’s, although it was not to the extent of her dying, it was still very tricky.
On one side was the love her biological parents had for her, and on the other side was a crucial examination. It was extremely difficult to choose between the two.
But if Chu Ning really had to choose, she would not hesitate to choose her parents’ feelings.
But today, in this particular environment, Chu Ning simply felt that she was being pushed to make a decision. She even felt that her parents were the same.
It was as if someone had meticulously planned a whole series of events. She clearly had a vague feeling, but she could only be forced to make a choice.
Without a doubt, even if it was her violating the decisions made by the few teachers leading the team, then the situation would be difficult to control.
Especially since she had been the one who had come up with the punishment.
Chu Ning thought hard about all the details of the entire incident. She knew that, regardless of whether there was someone behind this, she would definitely be able to find out what’s wrong through little clues!
