Chapter 178 - What Slapped My Face!
Chapter 178: What Slapped My Face!
After returning to her house and seeing the scenery that she hadn’t seen in a long time, Chu Luo pushed Li Yan aside and ran inside.
Watching the petite figure running away happily, Li Yan subconsciously chased after her.
Chu Luo walked around the courtyard and returned to the living room to see that Li Yan was already sitting on the sofa and using his computer.
She walked over and blinked her big, expectant eyes. “Aren’t you going back to your house?”
Li Yan glanced at her and continued typing on his computer.
After two seconds, he said, “This is my house.”
Chu Luo: “…”
This person was really shameless!
Glaring at the shameless person, Chu Luo went to take the luggage that Qin Ming and the others had brought back for her. She opened it and took out the presents for Old Gao and Professor Wu.
After she made an order to the delivery company online and asked the housekeeper to bring the gifts she was going to send to the door to wait for the courier to pick them up, Chu Luo called Wu Yiyao.
Wu Yiyao was especially happy to hear that she was back.
The two of them talked for a while before Chu Luo told her, “I brought back some gifts for you. I’ll send them to you later.”
Wu Yiyao agreed happily.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo went up to wash up and change her clothes, then went out with the present for the Wu family.
Only Wu Yiyao was at home.
Wu Yiyao was already waiting for her at the door. She looked good.
Chu Luo handed the present to her and took her pulse. She praised, “Sister Wu, you’ve been recuperating well.”
Wu Yiyao nodded happily. “Yes, I’m taking the nutrition pills you made for me. I feel like I’m like a normal person now.”
“Yeah.” Chu Luo was also happy for her. “Next, you can train for half an hour each morning and night. This can increase your immunity.”
“Okay.”
The two of them walked to the living room.
Wu Yiyao said excitedly, “Little Chu, your performance in the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ World Championship was amazing. Everyone is talking about your PK with the top ten experts in those matches.”
As the two of them spoke, they talked about the bets on the competition. Wu Yiyao told her mysteriously, “I saw my father secretly placing bets on your team.”
Chu Luo couldn’t help but smile when she heard this.
Wu Yiyao said, “My father only knows how to teach usually. I didn’t expect that he wouldn’t miss out on any part of the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ World Championship.
“To tell you secretly, I watched it too.”
“Can you stand staying up all night?”
“I stayed at home and didn’t go out. I stayed up late at night and could catch up on sleep during the day. It didn’t affect me at all… Also, Little Chu, that war between you and the hackers, Daddy said that he’s going to use it as teaching material in the future.”
Chu Luo didn’t mind. She suddenly remembered that Wu Yiyao had said that she would go back to Imperial University to teach, so she asked, “School is about to start. When Sister Wu goes back, what year will you be teaching?”
“Year 3,” Wu Yiyao said. “The curriculum has been arranged. The school is considering my situation and wants me to adapt first.”
Coincidentally, in the third year of university, there were fewer classes.
Chu Luo nodded.
The two of them chatted for a while more before Chu Luo left.
However, just as she approached her house, she heard a car horn behind her.
The car soon stopped beside her. The car window rolled down, and Wei Wushuang and Wei Xueying were revealed.
Wei Wushuang didn’t show her a pleasant countenance. Her hands were on the steering wheel and her face was turned to the side.
Wei Xueying’s expression and tone were alright. “Luoluo, come up. We’ll take you home.”
Chu Luo looked at the two of them and frowned.
She pointed at the courtyard in front and said sternly, “That’s my home.”
“Hmph!” Wei Wushuang couldn’t stand it anymore. She turned to look at her and said rudely, “You don’t have anything, yet you went to the US to play and you live in such a good house. I think you’re just relying on your looks and on a man like those indecent women…”
“Shut up!” Chu Luo’s gaze turned cold, and her body instantly exuded a fierce aura.
Wei Wushuang was shocked to the core. In the next second, she realized that the person in front of her was only a child raised by her aunt’s family who had no parents. What right did she have to talk to her like that? She became even more unbridled. “Am I wrong, you… Ouch! What hit me in the face?!”
Wei Xueying reacted and quickly turned to ask Wei Wushuang to speak less. She saw a palm mark on Wei Wushuang’s face and was shocked. She abruptly turned to look at Chu Luo as if she was looking at a monster. “Luoluo, what did you do to Wushuang?”
Chu Luo looked at the two of them fiercely. “I happen to know a person in the US who knows magic, and that person taught me a thing or two. If I hear these words again, don’t blame me for being rude.
“Also, don’t come looking for me again. I have nothing to do with your Wei family.”
Wei Wushuang, who had never been slapped before, even forgot her fear. She was furious. “Chu Luo, are you so great just because you have a man to help you? Let me tell you, without our Wei family’s protection, do you think those people who want to use you won’t divide you up in your current situation?”
“Are you trying to scare me? Then let me see if I will be divided up by others without your Wei family’s protection.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards her house.
“Sister! We’re here to pick Luoluo up. Why are you so angry with her?!” Wei Xueying panicked at the thought of today’s mission and quickly pushed open the car door to catch up. “Luoluo, don’t listen to Wushuang’s nonsense. She’s just being frank. We’re here to pick you up for dinner at our house.
“Look at you. You’ve been traveling for a month and a half. No matter what, you should go and see your uncle, right? Aren’t you worried about his injuries?”
Chu Luo looked at Wei Xueying and sneered. “I’m not worried.”
With that, she left.
“Luoluo, are you really that heartless? Think about it. Your uncle raised you for 18 years. Even if he didn’t do anything for you, he still put in a lot of effort. It’s fine if you went on a vacation when he was dying, but now that you’re back from your vacation, shouldn’t you go and see him?”
Chu Luo stopped when she heard this and turned to look at her.
Wei Xueying looked at her and said, “The Wei family is a prestigious family. Everyone knows that you’re my aunt and uncle’s child. If this matter is exposed by someone, your reputation will be ruined. Other than being good at studying, Imperial University focuses more on a person’s character. Don’t you want to study at Imperial University anymore?”
Chu Luo didn’t even bother responding this time. She turned around and continued walking.
Wei Xueying was so mad that she couldn’t speak.
After Chu Luo walked in, Wei Wushuang drove to her side and said mockingly, “See? I told you that this person is stubborn, but you insisted on taking on this task. This person has no manners at all. What a waste of the title as first place in the college entrance examination.”
Wei Xueying turned around and glanced at Wei Wushuang, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she walked over, opened the car door, and sat in the front passenger seat. She took out her phone and dialed a number.
After the call went through, she said directly, “Uncle, she’s not coming back.”
No one knew what the other party said, but Wei Xueying nodded and put away her phone. She said to Wei Wushuang, “Let’s go back first.”
The car drove off.
Chu Luo didn’t take the Wei family seriously at all. She wasn’t worried that someone would really spread rumors of her as Wei Xueying had said.
However, Wei Wushuang made her very unhappy. She would definitely find a way to deal with that person.
As she walked into the courtyard, Chu Luo happened to hear voices coming from the living room.
It was Li Yan’s butler, Beitang Hong.
The moment Chu Luo walked in, Beitang Hong greeted her, “Miss Chu.”
Chu Luo nodded at him and walked upstairs.
Li Yan stopped her from behind. “Luoluo.”
“What is it?”
Li Yan gestured for Beitang Hong to leave. He stood up and walked up to her. He frowned and said, “I’m going out for a while.”
The corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up before she quickly retracted it. “Okay, bye.”
With that, she headed upstairs.
However, Li Yan wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her into his broad embrace.
“Big baddie, let go of me!”
Li Yan’s voice was low. “Don’t move. If you move again, I’ll kiss you.”
“…”
Li Yan smiled in satisfaction and said, “I’ll be back later tonight.”
Chu Luo thought: ‘What does it have to do with me if you come back later?’
“Ooh…”
Her lips were suddenly attacked, and Chu Luo bit his lips angrily.
Later on, she gradually lost her strength.
Later on…
When Li Yan finally let go of her, Chu Luo could only lie in his arms and pant.
Li Yan stroked her hair and said softly, “If you want to play games later, don’t play too late.”
After a while, Chu Luo finally managed to catch her breath and squirmed out of his embrace.
After snorting at him in a tsundere manner, she ran upstairs.
After Chu Luo went upstairs, she didn’t have time to play games at all. She logged into the official website of Phoenix Plume Corporation, which was formerly owned by the Lausanne Corporation.
At the thought of the expressions of disbelief on Lausanne and Adeline’s faces when she took over the Lausanne Corporation, she found the corners of her lips curling up.
Back then, when Lausanne had helplessly signed the transfer agreement with her, he had even asked her to allow everyone in the company to stay, as if it was only right and proper. Chu Luo had said to him directly, “Those with the ability and those without ulterior motives can stay.”
However, those people took advantage of her young age and did one thing in front of her and another thing behind her back, leaking all the company’s secrets (of course, she had deliberately allowed them to do so).
The next day, she fired all those people.
It could be said that such a large cosmetics group was almost an empty shell now.
After that, Lausanne and his subordinates released many rumors about her, but they were quickly suppressed.
As for who had suppressed the rumors, Chu Luo didn’t need to think to know.
At the thought of this, Chu Luo took a pen and a notepad and quickly wrote down the formula for beauty products. As she wrote, she curled her lips and said, “Big baddie, on account of the fact that you helped me, I won’t pursue the matter with you from earlier.”
