Chapter 2 Big Brother
But Ning Yun had been taken advantage of by him many times in his past life, and on top of that, she was also his own sister. Therefore, she didn't have the slightest reaction to Ning Yuncheng's appearance. Seeing him leaning against the car door, drinking water, she calmly said:
"Window shopping."
"I'll send you." Upon hearing Ning Yunhuan say this, Ning Yuncheng didn't ask any more questions. He just walked a few steps around the car, opened the passenger door and nodded at Ning Yunhuan: "Get in."
"I'll just go myself." Ning Yunhuan didn't get on the car, instead she took two steps back. She and Ning Yuncheng weren't in a good sibling relationship either, nor did she want to put on an act of brotherly love with him. The excess enthusiasm had already been consumed in her previous life.
In her previous life, Ning Yunhuan was dissatisfied with the ending of Wen Zhong's story. She had always wanted to please this elder brother, but unexpectedly, what Ning Yuncheng gave her in the end was like a harsh slap on her face. Thinking about it, Ning Yunhuan's eyelids drooped down, blocking out the chill in her eyes.
Ning Yun's brow furrowed, he had never understood this quiet sister of his. The Ning family was known for their good looks, and this sister was no exception, even compared to the many young stars in the company she held her own, with long legs and a slender waist, and a figure that had substance. But it was her personality that made him dislike her so much. Usually being serious was fine, but she was also extremely proud, just like their father, being strict and not liking to joke around, completely opposite to the playful girls he usually dated, so even though he had such a sister at home, none of his friends knew about it.
"There are hardly any cars on this side, and the family car has already been driven away by your parents. With those two small legs of yours, in such hot weather, you still want to walk out yourself?" Ning Yun Cheng was a bit impatient at this moment, patted the car door, and motioned for Ning Yun Huan to come over.
Thinking about it, what he said is also true. Although I don't like Ning Yun Cheng, there's no need to humiliate myself even if I don't like him. Ning Yun Huan tilted his head, thought for a moment, then put away the umbrella and walked towards him: "Then I'll trouble you."
Originally thought that with Ning Yunhuan's personality, she would get angry and refuse to leave after being told off, and might even call Ning Father to tattle. But unexpectedly, she agreed to come down. Ning Yuncheng twitched the corner of his mouth, a "weirdo" flashing through his mind, as he watched her get into the car, before closing the door for her and getting in himself.
The two siblings didn't say a word, Ning Yunhuan was cold and distant as if she almost didn't exist. Ning Yuncheng found it strange that she wasn't asking him what he was doing back home. Although Ning Yunhuan had always been quiet, this kind of silence was unprecedented, he thought to himself while turning his head to glance at her a few times. He saw Ning Yunhuan with her eyes cast down and half her face turned away, looking more beautiful than many artists in their own company, but unfortunately she didn't make a sound. After glancing at her for a bit, Ning Yuncheng also felt awkward and focused on driving again.
At the entrance of Kyoto Business City, Fu Yan had already been waiting there for a while. It wasn't until they were almost there that Ning Yunhuan spoke up and indicated to Ning Yuncheng to drop her off at the entrance of the business city. Ning Yuncheng's face was stern as he silently drove the car over. Just as Ning Yunhuan opened the door, Ning Yuncheng turned his head and smiled at her: "Going shopping? Do you have enough money?" As he spoke, he took out a wallet from the bag hanging behind him and tossed it to Ning Yunhuan.
His actions were far beyond Ning Yun's expectations, and after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and said in a low voice, "I don't have anything to buy." As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the car door and got out. Ning Yun was taken aback by the woman's refusal of his money, especially since this woman was his own sister. His face suddenly looked uncomfortable, and he let out a cold snort before driving away in a cloud of dust.
Ning Yunhuan stood at the side of the street with her head lowered, and her mouth moved slightly before she turned around to walk towards the entrance of the mall. Fu Yuan, who had been waiting for a while beside her, ran over, somewhat curious: "Huan Huan, was that your older brother just now?"
Fu Yuan had been good friends with Ning Yun for several years, so she naturally knew that her friend's relationship with her older brother wasn't particularly close. She hadn't expected Ning Yun to bring her over at this time, which was somewhat unexpected: "I didn't think your older brother still spoiled you so much, sending you out like this. When I said I wanted to go out, my younger brother just ignored me and kept playing." As the eldest daughter in the Fu household, the Fu family was considered to be fairly well-off, but if anyone could inherit the family business, it would naturally be the young master of the Fu household.
The Fu family values males over females, and Fu Yan's status in the Fu family is quite embarrassing. She is three months older than Ning Yunhuan, but she is only eighteen years old now. Recently, Mrs. Fu has started looking for a potential husband for her, hoping to use Fu Yan to help the Fu family climb higher. As a result, Fu Yan has been under a lot of pressure lately. She has always been gentle and not fond of going out, but because the Fu family is looking for a suitor for her, she had no choice but to drag Ning Yunhuan out to take a walk.
When Ning Yunhuan heard Fu Yan's words, she didn't know how to respond, so she just smiled and stopped talking. Although Ning Yunhuan was arrogant and willful in the original story, since she crossed over, she had been trying to change her fate. Despite having some pride due to her transmigrator identity, she wasn't as willful as the original host. Sometimes she was even very quiet. Fu Yan knew her personality, so seeing Ning Yunhuan not speaking, she just smiled and also didn't make a sound.
Two people, although they have been good friends for several years, actually don't have much to say to each other. Today, the weather was hot, and they went into a mall and walked around for a few laps. Ning Yunhuan thought that Mrs. Ning's birthday was approaching in a few days, so she wanted to buy her some jewelry as a gift. Although the Ning family is not wealthy, Mr. Ning is very indulgent towards his daughter, giving her a considerable amount of pocket money every month. In her previous life, Ning Yunhuan had saved up all this pocket money to sponsor over ten poor children in order to gain a good impression from others. However, as time went on, the children grew up and began to ask for more, causing conflicts with Ning Yunhuan, and eventually ruining her reputation by saying she was someone who sought fame and fortune. The relationship ended up becoming very awkward.
Thinking back to the previous life, those children who didn't know how to be happy, Ning Yunhuan naturally wouldn't do such foolish things again in this life. After rebirth, several months had passed and her pocket money hadn't been donated again, instead it was saved up, now totaling over 50,000 yuan. This amount of money wasn't enough to buy luxury goods, but if she just wanted to choose a general piece of jewelry as a gift for Mrs. Ning, it would be sufficient.
No matter in the past life or this life, Mrs. Ning actually loves Ning Yunhuan very much. After all, the Ning family only has one daughter, and in the future, with the Ning family's environment, even if Ning Yunhuan wants to get married, she will definitely marry someone who can help the Ning family, so the mother-daughter relationship has always been good. Therefore, at this moment, Ning Yunhuan naturally values Mrs. Ning's birthday very much.
