506 Completely Disappointed
After returning home, Chu Huan quietly opened the door to the living room.
It was already past nine o’clock at night. At this time, his parents had already fallen asleep because they had to wake up at five o’clock every morning.
He put the takeaway box into the refrigerator. He could still eat it after heating it up in the microwave the following morning.
Just as Chu Huan was about to return to his room to sleep, Chu Jing’s door opened.
“Second Brother, you’re still up?” Chu Huan was a little puzzled, looking at Chu Jing walking out of the room.
“Let’s talk in your room.” Chu Jing looked at Chu Huan. While he was relieved, he was also resisting the urge to beat Chu Huan up.
Although he didn’t know why Chu Huan had returned safely, Chu Ning must have paid a huge price.
“Alright.” Although Chu Huan did not understand Chu Jing’s abnormal behavior, he could tell that Chu Jing seemed to know something. It was as if he was waiting for him to come home.
“How did you come back?” Chu Jing asked calmly after closing the door.
“I… I took the bus back from school,” Chu Huan said guiltily.
“It doesn’t feel good to be imprisoned, does it?” Chu Jing spoke again.
“Second Brother, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. What imprisonment?” Chu Huan chose to continue playing dumb.
“You almost died. Aren’t you curious why you were released again?” Chu Jing sighed. He looked at Chu Huan with mixed feelings.
He really didn’t know when his younger brother would wake up.
He would probably not suspect Ye Ting and Luo Fei of this matter even now. He would only think that he was unlucky.
“I…don’t think about things that I can’t figure out.” Chu Huan didn’t want to continue on this topic.
After all, during the time he was imprisoned, he had really been prepared to die.
“Ye Ting told you that she wants luxury goods, right?” Chu Jing suddenly asked, looking at Chu Huan’s conflicted expression.
“Yes.” Chu Huan nodded and did not deny it.
He actually had a vague guess. Including Luo Fei, these people seemed to have discussed it beforehand to deal with him.
However, Chu Huan subconsciously did not want to admit this fact.
Now that Chu Jing had asked this question, he did not dare to lie anymore.
“Why can’t you think about it? With her family background, why can’t she buy it herself?” Chu Jing looked at Chu Huan speechlessly.
“But she…” Chu Huan was about to defend himself when Chu Jing raised his hand and interrupted him.
“Alright, I don’t want to hear your excuses. You don’t know anything about your own abilities.” Chu Jing felt that it was very difficult for him to communicate normally with Chu Huan.
“Be careful of your roommate. He’s a crazed gambler. Also, Chu Ning paid a huge price to let you come out alive. You might not be able to repay it even if you work your entire life.” In reality, Chu Jing felt that, with Chu Huan’s brain, he could not understand the logic behind this.
After Chu Jing said this, he left Chu Huan’s room.
Chu Huan was an adult, already in his twenties.
There were some things that didn’t need to be said.
Looking at Chu Jing’s back as he left, Chu Huan lay on the bed in a daze.
He suddenly felt that his second brother, Chu Jing, seemed to have completely given up on him.
After the last reminder, the coldness when he turned around made it seem as if they were no longer family.
“The price… What price did you pay?” Chu Huan muttered to himself.
At this moment, he only felt a little emotionless.
It was as if nothing was important anymore, including Ye Ting.
He knew everything, but he just didn’t want to admit it.
Was Ye Ting good? She was not. She had no feelings for him and only used him.
Chu Huan understood it very well, but he was unwilling to believe this fact. Before that night, he had only wanted to live in the world he wanted.
Until just now, Chu Jing said a few words to him.
He didn’t scold him, nor did he emphasize his words. He just calmly stated facts.
However, Chu Huan knew that Chu Jing might no longer have a place for him in his heart.
Elsewhere, after obtaining ownership of Cloud Shopping, Zhou Hao was so excited that he was at a loss.
However, he quickly regulated his emotions and returned to normal.
After getting Cloud Shopping, he had the confidence to challenge everything. There were some things that he should start doing.
The small hospital was still open at around 10 o’clock. Zhou Hao and his men came to visit Bao Xu.
He knew that Dong Nan had Bai Hong protecting her, so he didn’t want to look for Dong Nan. Even though he wanted to kill Bai Hong, Zhou Hao knew that this wasn’t too realistic.
The expert hiding beside him was only responsible for protecting him. It was impossible for him to be a fighter.
