The next day, when Chu Luo got up and went downstairs, she found Anya walking in from the courtyard.
Chu Luo looked at her legs and teased, “Didn’t you say that your legs will take at least a week to recover? Why aren’t you in the wheelchair?”
Anya shrugged at her. “Blockhead is going to be away for three days. Who am I going to sit in a wheelchair for?”
Just as Anya finished speaking, the butler walked in.
The butler wasn’t at all surprised to see Anya standing there. He asked Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, what do you want to eat for breakfast?”
Chu Luo woke up early today. Usually, when she woke up early, the butler would come over and ask her what she wanted to eat.
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “I want to eat seafood porridge.”
“Okay.”
The butler turned around and left.
Chu Luo then looked at Anya and asked her, “When are you going back?”
“I’ll leave today. I want to resolve this matter as soon as possible and come back.”
Chu Luo responded with an “Mm”.
The two of them walked out of the door.
As Anya walked, she said, “I called Blockhead last night. I told him about this too.”
“What did he say?”
After Chu Luo finished asking, Anya said in a displeased tone, “Blockhead only said ‘Got it’! He’s indeed a stinky blockhead. Couldn’t he have said a few more words!”
Chu Luo raised her hand and patted Anya. “It’s not too late to regret now.”
“Why should I regret it? Blockhead is like that. I know that even if he doesn’t answer, he must have taken it to heart.”
Chu Luo didn’t comment.
When the two of them walked out, Chu Luo saw Li Yan practicing in the courtyard and asked Anya, “Do you want to run?”
“Okay.”
The two of them walked out of the courtyard to jog.
As Chu Luo ran, she asked, “What do you want Qin Ming to do?”
“Of course it’s for him to openly show that he cares about me.” Anya tied her hair up and said to her, “Blockhead is too stuffy. When I go back this time, I have to think of a way to get him to come to America to fetch me back.”
Chu Luo smiled and said, “Have you never thought of letting Qin Ming settle down in America?”
“I did. Blockhead likes the empire. He’s such a stuffy person. If he lives in America with me, he’ll definitely be even more bored. For the sake of our sex life, I’ll just suffer a little and come to the empire.”
Chu Luo tilted her head to look at her. Seeing that she was being honest, she smiled and said, “Aren’t you worried that the king and queen won’t be willing to let you come to the empire to live?”
“Then I’ll live on both sides. It’s only a dozen hours on the plane away anyway. It’s not far.”
“…”
Chu Luo actually had nothing to say.
When the two of them ran for half an hour before returning, Li Yan had just finished his morning exercise.
He happened to be holding a towel in his hand as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Chu Luo asked Anya, “Do you want to eat breakfast with us?”
Anya nodded. “It’s boring eating alone. As long as you don’t think I’m a third wheel.”
Chu Luo glanced at her and walked up to Li Yan.
Li Yan had specially only used half of his towel to wipe his sweat. The moment Chu Luo walked over, he used the other half to wipe the sweat off her nose and said, “Go change your clothes first. I’ll send you to school after breakfast.”
Chu Luo nodded. After letting Anya enter the living room to sit, she went upstairs with Li Yan.
After the meal, Anya left the villa first.
Li Yan sent Chu Luo to school.
Unexpectedly, Chu Luo was stopped not long after she entered the school gate.
“Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo stopped and looked at Gu Lexuan coldly.
“Is something the matter?”
Gu Lexuan reluctantly took out an invitation and handed it to her. “This is my uncle’s invitation. He asked me to pass it to you.”
“I know your uncle?”
Gu Lexuan didn’t want to have anything to do with Chu Luo at all. When she heard this, she was a little impatient. “It’s okay if you don’t know him. It’s enough that CEO Li knows him.”
“Ha!”
Chu Luo stepped on the skateboard and left.
Gu Lexuan was furious. “Chu Luo, why are you like this? I gave you an invitation out of kindness.”
When Roundy, who was following Chu Luo, heard this, he stopped and returned to her. In a child-like voice, he said, “Who do you think you are? My mistress doesn’t even want to talk to you. Don’t think too highly of yourself. A supporting actress like you can only live for two minutes in front of my mistress.”
“You!”
Gu Lexuan had always thought of herself as a proud daughter of heaven. Not only was she from a prestigious family, but she was also beautiful. Everyone around her fawned over her.
However, ever since she came to Imperial University, she had been suppressed by Chu Luo in all aspects. Hearing Roundy say this now, she was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She raised her leg and kicked Roundy.
“Ah…”
At this moment, there were already many students on the road. When everyone saw this, a few girls covered their mouths and exclaimed.
Gu Lexuan’s leg was about to kick Roundy.
At this moment, Roundy’s legs suddenly elongated.
Gu Lexuan kicked air and lost her balance, staggering forward.
Bang!
None of the people around her stood out to help her.
Gu Lexuan had never been so embarrassed or suffered such a huge grievance before. Coupled with the fact that this fall was so painful, tears immediately flowed down her face.
Roundy walked up to Gu Lexuan and gloated. “Didn’t you want to kick me? Come on…”
At this point, his voice suddenly became as deep as an adult male’s. It was serious and stern. “If you weren’t a girl, I wouldn’t have chosen the lightest punishment to teach you a lesson. You wouldn’t have just fallen.”
“Wow! I always thought that Roundy was a cute boy. I didn’t expect him to have such a domineering side. I love him.”
“Roundy’s legs can actually extend. I wonder how long he can stretch?”
“Roundy just said that it’s the lightest punishment for that person. I wonder what a heavy punishment is like. I really want to see it.”
“It’s best if he tries it on that person. Otherwise, some people might dare to act like they’re doing Chu Luo a favor because she thinks she’s rich. Is her family richer or more connected than Chu Luo’s?”
“That’s right. Previously, the Sun family even came out to support Chu Luo. This person is used to being flattered and has forgotten who she is.”
…
Hearing everyone’s ridicule, Gu Lexuan, who was already in so much pain from falling to her knees, started crying even more fiercely.
She gritted her teeth and threw the invitation in her hand forward. She got up, covered her face, and ran towards a path.
“Pfft, there are always a few unruly people who want to bully Chu Luo. Aren’t they asking for trouble?”
“Maybe some people think they’re good at enduring abuse.”
…
When Roundy caught up to Chu Luo, he told her what had happened.
After saying that, he even asked for praise, “Mistress, did I do well?”
“Yes, good job.”
Roundy immediately giggled in joy.
Chu Luo had originally planned to simply forget about Gu Lexuan. She couldn’t even be bothered to deal with such a person.
Unexpectedly, after the last class in the morning, Chu Luo received a call from Wu Yiyao.
Wu Yiyao asked to meet her at the restaurant of the third school.
When Chu Luo went over, Wu Yiyao had already ordered their dishes.
After sitting down, Wu Yiyao asked her directly, “Little Chu, did Gu Lexuan from the foreign language department come to cause trouble for you this morning?”
“Mm… Sister Wu knows this person?”
“It’s not me. It’s my mother. My mother’s best friend is Gu Lexuan’s aunt.”
Chu Luo looked at her in surprise.
Wu Yiyao continued, “Our family also received an invitation from the Shang family today.”
Chu Luo was even more surprised.
Wu Yiyao explained, “The second master of the Shang family is getting married. Coincidentally, Second Master Shang did a research project with my father when he was studying abroad. After my father returned to the country, Second Master Shang came to look for him a few times. The Shang family wanted my father to work for their family.”
Chu Luo understood.
Wu Yiyao added, “Actually, I called you here to ask if you’ll attend their wedding at the Shang family.”
Chu Luo originally wanted to say no, but when she thought about how the Shang family had always wanted to poach Li Yan, she thought about it.
She asked, “What conditions did the company offer Professor Wu previously?”
Wu Yiyao mentioned that the conditions were especially generous. Most importantly, “Third Young Master of the Shang family wooed me for a period of time.”
Chu Luo looked at Wu Yiyao with bright eyes.
Wu Yiyao smiled at her. “I was very sickly at that time. Third Young Master Shang met me when he went abroad to see Second Young Master Shang. I don’t know what he was like in other people’s eyes, but he was very gentlemanly in front of me.”
Chu Luo thought: ‘At that time, you were panting heavily. Unless it’s a beast, no one could bear to do anything to you.’
Wu Yiyao seemed to have guessed what Chu Luo was thinking and chuckled. “That’s why I’ve always suspected that Third Young Master Shang didn’t like me at all, but he only wooed me because my father and I were researching the gaming capsule.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she frowned. “In that case, the Shang family actually wants to get the research data of the gaming capsule from you.”
If the Shang family wanted it, that meant the Duanmu family wanted it.
Chu Luo had always known that besides Old Master Duanmu, everyone else in the Duanmu family only wanted to get more benefits from Li Yan.
Wu Yiyao nodded. “Probably. I just don’t have any evidence.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “Then I’ll attend.”
Wu Yiyao heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ll be relieved if you go.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled before starting to eat.
After the meal and walking out of the restaurant, Chu Luo suddenly thought of something. “Since Third Young Master Shang has pursued you before, he will definitely continue pursuing you now that he has seen you.”
At that time, he had even pursued Wu Yiyao when she was a sickly beauty, let alone now that she was in good health.
Wu Yiyao was very beautiful and had a classical beauty about her. Chu Luo felt that it was very possible that Third Young Master Shang really liked her.
Chu Luo suggested, “You’d better bring a male companion over.”
