Chapter 9: Do You Think This Fork Can Pierce Through Your Face?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chu Luo stared at the flamboyantly-dressed guy in front of her who deliberately wore a cool expression. She had no intention of defending herself at all. She spat out one phrase without hesitation, “Get lost!”
“You!”
Zhang Tianyi simply didn’t dare to believe his ears. He stared at Chu Luo as if he was looking at a monster, and in the next second, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became even worse.
“Chu Luo, if this is a method that you are using to attract my attention, I advise you to…”
Chu Luo directly swept a cold gaze over him. While Zhang Tianyi was still stunned, she had already left, following Chu Zhengyang and the others.
Leaving Zhang Tianyi standing there with a gloomy face.
The Zhang family villa was built in a European style. At this moment, in the luxurious living room, the dazzling crystal chandelier was reflecting off the milky white marble floor. There were expensive red wine and champagne, and violinists playing soothing tunes.
Several well-dressed guests gathered together to raise their glasses and chat.
When Boss Zhang brought Wei Jianze and the others in, many people were surprised.
“Boss Zhang actually managed to invite Second Master Wei over!”
“Boss Zhang is really capable.”
“Let’s go and greet Second Master Wei.”
After a wave of hushed discussions, many people quickly rushed over.
Chu Zhengyang reminded Chu Ting, who was standing beside him, “Tingting, bring your sister along to play later.”
Chu Ting nodded.
At this moment, a few girls of the same age walked over to call Chu Ting.
“Chu Ting, you’re here. Let’s go over there and play.”
Chu Ting glanced at Chu Luo.
The other girls then noticed Chu Luo standing there.
One of the girls asked rudely, “Chu Ting, why did you bring your sister out?”
Chu Ting said with a helpless tone, “I had no choice. This was my father’s idea.”
Chu Luo swept a glance at Chu Ting before walking towards an empty area.
“Hey! Chu Luo, where are you going?” Chu Ting’s displeased voice sounded from behind.
Chu Luo was too lazy to respond to her.
She walked to a corner where no one was around. Coincidentally, the buffet table was right beside her.
Smelling the delicious aroma of the dishes and looking at her frail body, Chu Luo decided to eat something.
However, just as she picked up the food and placed it on her plate, she heard a sharp question from behind her.
“Ugly freak, why are you here?”
Chu Luo frowned and turned her head to look at Jiang Siyi, who was seductively dressed in a tight dress.
Jiang Siyi walked up to Chu Luo in two or three steps and swept a malicious gaze all over her. She started to mock and ridicule, “To think you dare to dress like this to attend Yi’s family banquet!”
At this point, she became even more enthusiastic. “If I had your appearance, I would have locked myself at home for the rest of my life. You actually dared to come to Yi’s family banquet, you…”
Chu Luo looked at the girl who was showing off and asked calmly, “Did you just say that?”
“Uh…”
“Did you just say that?” Chu Luo asked again, then walked over to her with her plate.
Jiang Siyi’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Chu Luo walking towards her. She subconsciously took a step back.
Chu Luo stared at Jiang Siyi and said seriously, “Since you think ugly people should stay at home forever, I’ll satisfy you.”
If she did not guess wrongly, the person who’d cast the Gu poison on Chu Ting would definitely appear tonight. That person definitely had something good on him. When she obtained that something, she would use this woman as a guinea pig.
“You…”
Jiang Siyi suddenly felt a chill in her heart. In the next second, she reacted and raised her voice. “Chu Luo, you’re real capable now, huh? You actually dare to… Ah…”
Chu Luo held a fork against Jiang Siyi’s face and smiled at her. “Why aren’t you continuing?”
Jiang Siyi’s face turned pale. Her lips trembled as she gazed at the fierce Chu Luo. “You… you… what do you want?”
“Can’t you tell?” asked Chu Luo deliberately, looking at her as if she were an idiot. “Do you think this fork could pierce your face?”
“You… you dare! Ah…”
Chu Luo snapped, “Shut up!”
The startled Jiang Siyi immediately shut her mouth and turned even paler.
Just then, the living room became quiet. Everyone gathered in the middle of the living room. Jiang Siyi took advantage of Chu Luo’s momentary distraction and ran away.
Chu Luo scoffed as she watched Jiang Siyi run into the crowd.
At this moment, Boss Zhang laughed and said loudly, “Thank you, everyone, for coming to my son’s 20th birthday party tonight, blah blah blah.”
“Congratulations, congratulations. I heard that Young Master Zhang is going to study abroad as an exchange student in the second half of the year. As expected, a tiger father does not have a dog son.”
“Thank you, thank you. Tianxiang was lucky to be chosen by the school.”
“Boss Zhang, you’re being humble. Who doesn’t know that Young Master Zhang has been outstanding since he was young?”
As this person spoke, he changed the topic.
“Isn’t Boss Zhang’s youngest son about to enter university? Which school is he going to attend?”
At this moment, Zhang Tianyi put himself forth and replied arrogantly, “Imperial University, of course.”
“Ambitious! Ambitious!”
“A few of the youngsters who came tonight are Grade 12 students. All of you, work hard to get into famous universities.”
Everyone’s topic shifted to the Grade 12 students.
At this moment, someone asked Chu Zhengyang, “Aren’t the two daughters from Boss Chu’s family going to enter university too? I wonder where you two are looking to enroll in?”
Chu Ting replied confidently, “Of course, I will also be going to Imperial University.”
Chu Zhengyang said proudly, “My Tingting has been doing well in the past few monthly examinations. The teacher said that if she continues to work hard in the final two months, she will definitely be able to get into Imperial U.”
“Boss Chu is so lucky to have such a brilliant daughter.”
“Haha…”
“What about Boss Chu’s second daughter?”
At the mention of Chu Luo, Chu Zhengyang’s smile became slightly awkward, especially when everyone was still subconsciously looking for Chu Luo.
Fortunately, at this moment, a servant pushed in a cart with a multi-tiered large cake.
With this, their chitchat came to an end. After Zhang Tianxiang finished cutting the cake, the adults continued to chat in groups while the youngsters were brought to the back of the villa by the Zhang brothers.
There was an enormous swimming pool in the backyard of the Zhang family home, and a few round tables beside it were filled with food and drinks. They were all youths in their teens or twenties. Everyone gathered around the swimming pool and started playing around.
Chu Luo, who was not interested in playing around like that, found a chair far away from the pool and sat down to play with her phone.
To her, a cell phone was a very novel thing.
She had no idea what she had pressed, but a game interface suddenly popped up.
“Defying the Heavens? Game?”
Looking at the gorgeous interface and the registration column, she was about to exit the game when Chu Ting’s voice sounded from the front.
“Chu Luo, Dad wants us to retrieve something from the parking lot.”
Chu Luo thought to herself, ‘Here it comes.’ She put away her phone and followed Chu Ting out of the Zhang family villa.
The two of them walked around the villa. When they reached the front yard, they saw a group of bodyguards escorting a person in a wheelchair towards the entrance of the Zhang family villa.
At the same time, Boss Zhang rushed out of the villa.
Worried that they would be seen, Chu Ting urged Chu Luo, “Hurry up, Dad is still waiting for us.”
Chu Luo subconsciously turned around and saw the tall and burly bodyguards.
She retracted her gaze and quickly left the villa with Chu Ting.
