Chu Luo stared at the feather duster in distress. This was the original Chu Luo’s mother. Should she resist? Or not?
However, as the most respected High Priestess of the Kingdom of Phoenix Skies, even if she was vexed, she still emitted a trace of the powerful oppressiveness that was carved into her bones when facing people who were disrespectful to her.
Mrs. Chu felt her heart palpitate, and her hand trembled. By the time the feather duster landed on Chu Luo’s body, it didn’t have much force left.
Chu Luo frowned slightly and gazed at Mrs. Chu with her pitch-black eyes.
“You…”
Mrs. Chu suppressed her fear and subconsciously took a small step back.
At this moment, a servant’s voice came from outside. “Sir, you’re back?”
“Is Madam in the living room?”
“Yes.”
After a few exchanges, Mr. Chu walked in, a servant holding a briefcase behind him.
The moment Mrs. Chu saw Mr. Chu, she snapped out of her trance. At the thought of how she had been subdued by a little girl, she was furious and wanted to throw the feather duster at Chu Luo again.
“Xiao Wei, what are you doing?”
Mr. Chu walked over and grabbed Wei Wei’s wrist. “The child is about to take the college entrance examination. If you have anything to say to her, just tell her. Don’t hit her on a whim.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Chu fumed. “Why don’t you ask me why I’m hitting her?!”
Seeing Wei Wei so furious, Chu Zhengyang let go of her hand and turned to look at Chu Luo. He asked in a low voice, “Luoluo, what did you do to anger your mother now?”
Chu Luo looked at Mr. Chu calmly.
Mr. Chu didn’t expect Chu Luo, who usually kept her head down, to look at him so directly. His heart skipped a beat, and he asked with a straight face, “Can’t you answer me?”
Chu Luo said calmly, “Mom said that I tricked Sister into going to the entertainment city and that I even took her card and phone away so that she can’t come back.”
When Mr. Chu heard this, his first reaction was disbelief. The younger daughter had a meek personality and wouldn’t dare to go to the entertainment city to take away the elder daughter’s card and cell phone.
Nonetheless, he still said, “When Tingting comes back, return her card and phone to her.”
A sneer appeared on Chu Luo’s face as she coldly asked, “I’ve never been to a place like the entertainment city before. Don’t you guys have any suspicions as to how I got there and how I took Chu Ting’s phone and card away?”
Mr. Chu subconsciously wanted to ask, but Mrs. Chu’s sharp voice sounded first. “Chu Luo, you…”
Chu Zhengyang frowned and interrupted Wei Wei. “Alright, we’ll ask Tingting when she gets back.”
Wei Wei glared at Chu Luo and said to the middle-aged housekeeper beside her, “Auntie Yu, call Tingting and ask her when she will be back.”
“Yes, Madam.” Auntie Yu quickly made a call to ask. After asking, she said to Wei Wei, “Madam, Eldest Miss and Fifth Young Master are coming back together. They will be here in at most ten minutes.”
“What? Guangnian is in Ocean City?”
When Wei Wei heard this, her expression changed from its previous unhappiness. She said to Auntie Yu with a broad beam, “Then hurry up and prepare food and drinks. Guangnian has been abroad for five years. It’s a rare occasion that he came back. He must have especially come to see me, his aunt.”
Chu Zhengyang was also very happy to hear that Wei Guangnian had come. “Then I’ll go upstairs and wash up first.”
Mrs. Chu pushed at him. “Go, go.”
Chu Zhengyang walked upstairs. It was obvious that he had forgotten about Chu Luo.
Mrs. Chu then looked at Chu Luo and said sternly, “Go back to your room. I will settle the score with you tomorrow!”
Chu Luo glanced at Mrs. Chu, who obviously didn’t want her to stay here and wait for her cousin. Without saying anything, she walked upstairs.
After all, they were the original Chu Luo’s parents. As long as they didn’t go overboard, she didn’t intend to be calculative. Moreover, she wasn’t used to this place, and also, her abilities…
At the thought of this, she subconsciously raised her right hand to look at her wrist.
She had a phoenix birthmark at that spot, but this body didn’t have one.
Putting down her hand, Chu Luo scanned the entire room.
She and Chu Ting each had a bedroom.
Chu Ting’s bedroom was spacious and had a balcony facing the sun. Not only could she dance inside, there was also a piano.
On the other hand, her bedroom was the exact opposite—it was small and dark, and there was only a single bed, a desk, a chair, and a wall cabinet inside. There was no space for anything else.
After seeing all of this, Chu Luo sneered. “What a pitiful person who is unloved by her parents!”
After sizing up the entire bedroom, Chu Luo turned her gaze to the books neatly placed on the desk in disdain. She shook her head and said, “Since you cherish books so much, why didn’t you study hard?”
After saying that, she walked over and remembered that in the past two days, she had only just finished her monthly exams. She took out a few test papers.
The red crosses that covered the exam paper immediately provoked Chu Luo’s eyes.
As a High Priestess, she had to know everything about the world. She had a photographic memory and couldn’t tolerate it if there was something she didn’t know.
She pulled out a chair and prepared to mark all the papers.
There were many things in this world that she didn’t know. She might as well start by reading Grade 10 books.
While she was learning…
There was another lively scene downstairs.
Wei Guangnian had come to the Chu residence, and Mr. and Mrs. Chu were extremely warm towards him.
After inquiring after the well-being of this nephew whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, Mrs. Chu asked him, “Guangnian, are you going to stay here for a while before returning to the US?”
“I’m not leaving. Dad wants me to come back and develop my career here.”
At this point, Wei Guangnian recalled his purpose in coming here and immediately ranted angrily, “I’d originally planned to bid for a piece of jade and give it to Grandfather, but I didn’t expect that the jade I had my eye on had already been intercepted by a darned cripple.”
“Who dares to stop you?” Wei Wei’s expression turned ugly when she heard that. “Guangnian, tell me. I’ll get your uncle to deal with this person.”
Wei Guangnian didn’t take Li Yan seriously at all. With a confident expression, he said, “I’ve already sent someone to follow the darned cripple. When the time comes, I’ll get him to obediently deliver the jade pendant to me.”
He then took out three boxes and passed one of them to Wei Wei. “These are the gem bracelets I bought when I came back. For my aunt and two cousins.”
Wei Wei took the box and gazed at the content lovingly for a while. “Guangnian really knows how to please Aunt.”
Chu Ting snatched the other two boxes and pouted her lips as she whined, “Chu Luo treated me like that today and you’re still giving her something? I can’t accept that!”
The two of them came back from the entertainment city together. Along the way, Chu Ting had already exaggerated Chu Luo’s evil deeds.
Wei Guangnian frowned and said, “How did Cousin Luo become like this?”
“Yeah, exactly. The college entrance examination is just around the corner, yet she doesn’t study hard and only wants to create trouble for me.”
Wei Wei, who was still fuming, started to disparage Chu Luo. “Today, the teacher called again and said that her monthly exam results were the last in class! She’s a total disgrace to our Chu family.”
“Not only that.” Chu Ting immediately continued, “Chu Luo even confessed to a boy in front of the whole school today.”
“What!” Chu Zhengyang was furious when he heard this. “If she doesn’t want to study, she can work for me at the company! Instead of studying properly, how dare she fall in love at such a young age! I think she might as well skip the college entrance examination!”
Wei Wei actually had such thoughts too, but she couldn’t afford to lose face like this. “If she doesn’t take the college entrance examination, who knows what others will say about us behind our backs…? I think after she finishes her college entrance examination, we should just buy her a place in a third-rate university elsewhere and let her while away her days there.”
Seeing how angry they were, Chu Ting was finally satisfied. However, when she thought about her card and phone, she narrowed her eyes and thought about how she would not only get her things back but also teach Chu Luo a lesson later.
