Chapter 306: A Bad Premonition
The more Professor Cao listened, the more he frowned and quickened his pace.
He quickly looked at a few cubicles and finally stopped outside the cubicle that Chu Luo had entered.
He asked, “Did Chu Luo enter this one?”
The administrator quickly nodded. “Yes.”
The door was closed and the cubicle was surrounded with tempered glass walls. The two of them could see the robots displayed inside as they stood outside.
Professor Cao gestured to the administrator. “Open the door. I’ll go in and take a look.”
The administrator quickly took out his card and opened the door.
Professor Cao walked in and quickly checked.
The administrator stood at the side and watched worriedly. After more than ten minutes, he looked at Professor Cao, who was becoming more and more serious. He asked worriedly, “Professor Cao, is there a problem with these robots?”
Professor Cao pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.
After another ten minutes or so, he stopped and looked even more serious.
The administrator’s heart raced.
“Professor Cao, why don’t I call the dean? If the robots here have really been destroyed by Chu Luo, I can’t bear the responsibility.”
Seeing that Professor Cao didn’t answer him, he took out his phone to make a call.
Professor Cao then said, “No need. She didn’t do anything.”
At least, he didn’t notice that the robots had been damaged.
“That’s good. That’s good.” The administrator patted his chest. “Then I’ll go down and open the door. Someone from the Student Union is coming over to study this morning.”
Professor Cao nodded at him. He had class in the morning too, so they left together.
…
Not long after Chu Luo walked out of the technology park, she received a call from Wang Mingtao.
Wang Mingtao didn’t sound so good. “Sister Chu, where are you? I’ll return Roundy to you.”
Chu Luo told him where she was going.
When Wang Mingtao came with Roundy, Chu Luo looked at him and asked, “What did you do?”
Wang Mingtao said with a bitter expression, “Sister Chu, please don’t let Roundy go back with me again.”
“What did Roundy do to you?”
“Mistress, don’t listen to Peach’s nonsense.”
Roundy squeezed past Wang Mingtao, who was about to complain, and said, “I merely asked Peach to follow your studying habits and he kept complaining non-stop. Those who don’t like learning should be whipped fiercely.”
Chu Luo looked at Wang Mingtao. “What did you want to do after you went back last night?”
“I…”
Wang Mingtao actually felt a little guilty before Chu Luo’s gaze.
Roundy answered on his behalf, “He wanted to play games with me.”
Chu Luo looked deeply at Wang Mingtao and patted Roundy’s big head. “Well done, Roundy. If you’d like to go to Mingtao’s house in the future, I won’t object.”
“Okay, Mistress. I’m especially fond of Peach.”
Wang Mingtao: “…”
Chu Luo looked at the devastated Wang Mingtao and said, “Class is about to start. Aren’t you leaving?”
Only then did Wang Mingtao calm down and nod. “I’ll leave immediately.”
He had just taken two steps when he suddenly remembered something. “Sister Chu, I forgot to tell you. My father said that he would sponsor you fresh flowers to decorate the venue. Don’t worry, our family doesn’t have much except for flowers. I promise that the venue will be beautifully decorated with fresh flowers.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she shook her head. “There’s no need to sponsor me. The Student Union is rich. Tell Uncle Wang that I’m not a member of the Student Union yet. There’s no need to sponsor me.”
When Wang Mingtao heard this, he grinned. “Sister Chu is right. So many people are deliberately not helping you this time. On what basis should we save money for the Student Union? Then I’ll go back and tell my father to collect money. When you enter the Student Union in the future, our family will provide fresh flowers to your office for free.”
“Okay.”
The two of them quickly parted ways.
After the last class in the morning, Chu Luo had just walked out of the classroom when she heard a girl on her phone shout, “Look, our school’s Senior Wei Xueying is on the headlines.”
One of the girls walking with her craned her neck to take a look. “Did one of her works shoot to fame?”
“No.” The girl who was scrolling through her phone said in a strange tone, “It says that Senior Wei wanted to get the female lead role of ‘Snow Wind Beauty’ so she went to seduce Director Y. She was caught red-handed by the director’s wife.”
“Tsk… Isn’t Senior Wei from a good family? Why would she seduce Director Y?”
“Because the female lead has already been chosen. It’s the new actress, Lu Haitang. Who doesn’t know that Lu Haitang has a big sugar daddy behind her?”
“Tsk tsk, is that necessary? In the past, many boys said that she was the purest school belle. Now, she has become a joke.”
“What a pity. Look at the accompanying photo. That director’s wife looks so fierce. She pulled Senior Wei’s hair and banged her head against the corner of the table. Tsk… I can feel how painful it must have been just by looking.”
The girls all took out their phones to take a look. As they looked, they exclaimed, “Next, it said that the director’s wife disfigured Senior Wei’s face. I wonder if that’s true?”
“Regardless of whether it’s true or not, Senior Wei’s image is ruined.”
“Isn’t the Wei family very rich? Why didn’t they come out to suppress this news?”
“It can only mean that Senior Wei provoked someone more powerful than the Wei family.”
…
When Chu Luo heard this, she quickened her pace and walked past them.
However, just as she walked out of the school building, someone stopped her and asked, “Chu Luo, do you know that your cousin is on the headlines?”
Chu Luo glanced at the girl who stopped her and asked coldly, “What has this got to do with me?”
After saying that, she walked past her and continued walking.
It was unknown what the girl was thinking, but she said loudly behind her, “You’re cousins. Shouldn’t you be concerned now that news of her seducing Director Y has been exposed?”
Chu Luo sneered and left on the skateboard.
After sliding away on her skateboard for a while, she took out her phone and logged into the school’s BBS. Indeed, there were many people discussing Wei Xueying.
While they were discussing, they brought Chu Luo in.
“Wei Xueying is Chu Luo’s cousin. Doesn’t she care at all about what happened? I asked her just now, but she said that it has nothing to do with her. Isn’t her behavior too cold!”
“She’s indeed a little cold. Wei Xueying is her cousin, after all. Shouldn’t she come out and say something at this time?”
“They’re not related in the first place. Wei Xueying is Wei Xueying, and our goddess is our goddess. Are some people finding fault on purpose and insisting on tying our goddess up with Wei Xueying and discussing them together?”
“The person who’s asking Goddess to stand up to say something, what do you want her to say? Do you think she should say that she believes that her cousin didn’t do such a thing and make everyone diss her? Or should she say that Wei Xueying deserved it and that serves her right to get disfigured?”
…
Soon, the BBS became lively and a debate began.
Chu Luo looked at some comments and quickly typed a message.
Chu Luo: “Wei Xueying is the daughter of my aunt’s older brother. The Wei family and I are essentially unrelated. From now on, if anyone dares to involve me with those unimportant people, don’t blame me for using cyber violence on you.”
Many people were following Chu Luo’s account. When she sent this message, the entire BBS’s chat area fell silent.
Chu Luo left the BBS, not knowing what everyone said after that.
While she was eating at the school restaurant, Nangong Yi came looking for her.
Nangong Yi’s appearance here made many girls scream in infatuation.
However, everyone knew immediately that he was here for Chu Luo.
“Junior Chu, no one is sitting opposite you, right?”
Chu Luo looked up at Nangong Yi, who was holding a tray and deliberately asking this question. She retracted her gaze and continued eating, not bothering to answer him.
Nangong Yi smiled and sat down opposite her, then started eating.
While the two of them were eating, many people secretly took out their phones to take photos of them.
However, no matter what angle they tried taking it from, they would be blocked by Roundy’s plump body.
Nangong Yi realized this and said with a smile, “Junior Chu, this robot is not bad.”
Chu Luo only nodded.
Only after the two of them had eaten did Nangong Yi say, “Junior Chu, why don’t we find a quiet place to talk about the reception the day after tomorrow?”
Chu Luo glanced at him and asked, “Why should I talk to you?”
Nangong Yi chuckled. “As a senior, I can give you some suggestions.”
Chu Luo thought for a while before nodding. “Alright.”
The two of them went straight to the coffee house.
Chu Luo didn’t like coffee and asked for a glass of water.
Nangong Yi ordered a cup of coffee.
After the coffee and water were served, he said, “I heard that you had spent the entire night at the technology park at the College of Mechanical Engineering last night?”
“Mm.”
“Junior Chu wants to borrow the robots?”
“Right.”
Nangong Yi didn’t expect Chu Luo to admit it directly. He was a little surprised and said with a smile, “I thought you were going to keep this a secret?”
Chu Luo looked into his eyes and said bluntly with a straight face, “Since you already know, why should I keep it a secret?”
“Haha, that’s true. Then… Junior, can you tell me about your arrangements?”
“Most of the people will be placed outside the venue for the reception. The venue will be attended to by robots and a small portion of people.” Chu Luo didn’t intend to hide anything. She suddenly smiled at him with a trace of cunning.
Seeing her smile, Nangong Yi picked up his coffee cup and said with a vexed expression, “I have a bad premonition.”
Chu Luo also picked up the water and reminded him, “It’s not a premonition. You’ll be one of those receiving guests at the venue.”
