The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute Novel - Chapter 113
Chapter 113: Throwing a Tantrum at Li Yan
Everyone played in the villa for two days before leaving on the third morning.
Before Chu Luo returned, she really did ask if she could buy a few jars of that fruit wine.
The villa was owned by Li Tao’s family. Li Tao brought her to the wine cellar and let her choose whatever she wanted. He even said, “If you like, I’ll get someone to send it to Imperial University with single a call.”
After Li Tao lost the drinking contest last night, he no longer had any illusions about Chu Luo. Moreover, he had adapted well to his new identity as her underling.
Chu Luo brought a few jars of wine back to her apartment. Li Tao served as her manual laborer and helped carry the few jars of wine, which were in a net, up to her apartment.
When they reached the door, Chu Luo gestured to Li Tao. “Leave the wine here. You can go.”
Li Tao wanted to see what Chu Luo’s residence looked like, so he said, “I’ve already helped you move the wine here. I might as well help all the way. I’ll move them in for you.”
Chu Luo thought about it and opened the door.
However, the moment the door opened, she met Li Yan’s cold eyes.
Li Yan was obviously here to open the door.
“You…”
Li Yan directly glanced past her and looked at Li Tao with his icy eyes.
Li Tao’s heart tightened the moment he was stared at. He felt a sense of danger for no reason. He quickly said out of reflex, “Chu Luo, I’ll leave first. See you at Imperial University.”
After saying that, he put down the few jars of wine in his arms and strode towards the stairs.
When he walked out of the apartment building, he came back to his senses and exhaled. “That person’s aura is so sharp… Why didn’t I ask Chu Luo who that person was?”
At this point, his expression suddenly became a little complicated. “Could it be her boyfriend?”
Upstairs.
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan, who was standing by the door like a door god, and then at the wine jars outside the door. “You scared away my free laborer. What should I do with these wines?”
Li Yan’s gaze finally landed on the jars of wine.
He walked past her and bent down to pick up the few jars of wine.
Chu Luo was a little surprised that he really brought the wine in for her. When he entered, she quickly walked in.
Recalling what she had found out last night, she waited for him to place the wine jars on the coffee table before asking, “I want to know what happened to the Chu family 18 years ago.”
Li Yan looked at her for a few seconds before saying, “I only managed to find out what happened outside the tomb.”
Chu Luo nodded. She had already guessed it.
She started to ask, “Tell me, what exactly happened at that time? Why did Wei Wei keep hating… me?”
“Your father and Chu Zhengyang were very famous tomb raiders back then. Back then, after they went to the legendary Emperor’s Tomb, only Chu Zhengyang and another person on the periphery walked out alive.
“The day he came out, Wei Wei happened to give birth. At that time, your mother was already seven months pregnant. When your mother heard that your father didn’t come out of that tomb, she was so sad that she gave birth prematurely. She gave birth to you on the same day Wei Wei gave birth to Chu Ting.
“Chu Zhengyang had been guarding outside your mother’s delivery room out of guilt. Unexpectedly, Wei Wei almost had a difficult labor.”
“That’s why Wei Wei hates me that much?”
“Right.”
“Hur! Her hatred is really baffling… Then, where did my mother go?”
“She went missing after giving birth to you.”
“Missing?”
“It’s very possible that she went to look for your father.”
Li Yan didn’t continue.
Chu Luo didn’t ask further.
The two of them sat on the sofa. Chu Luo thought about Li Yan and Old Li’s words and suddenly thought of something. She asked, “I heard that the imperial tomb can move. Is that true?”
“Right.”
“So, Chu Zhengyang obtained the location of that tomb this time and wants to go down?”
“Right.”
Chu Luo had a strange feeling. “Don’t tell me you released this news?”
“Yes.”
Chu Luo stared at the man who answered every question bluntly. After a long silence, she asked, “Did you release this news because you also wanted to find that tomb?”
“Right.”
“Why?”
Li Yan didn’t answer this time. He only frowned as if something was bugging him and he couldn’t understand it.
Chu Luo looked at his handsome profile for a while. Seeing that he didn’t say anything, she frowned a little unhappily. “Even if you don’t say it, I would know. The people who went down to that tomb are either after money or after some other things inside. You’re just like them.”
After saying that, she suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart. She couldn’t stand it anymore and slapped his arm. She stood up and walked towards her bedroom.
Li Yan looked at the little thing who’d left in a huff and then at the spot where he had been slapped. His frown suddenly loosened.
He looked up at the few jars of wine on the coffee table and let out a cold snort.
Chu Luo returned to her bedroom to wash up. Without going out, she took the game console and started playing games.
At five in the afternoon, a knock sounded on the bedroom door.
Chu Luo then informed Tang Zhiyun and the others about it, got off the game, walked over, and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Auntie Wu.
Auntie Wu smiled and said to her, “Miss Chu, dinner is ready.”
Chu Luo nodded and walked out, closing the door behind her as she walked towards the dining table.
To her surprise, Li Yan wasn’t around.
Chu Luo scanned the living room and sneered in her heart. Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong and hurriedly asked Auntie Wu, “Auntie Wu, where did my jars of wine go?”
Auntie Wu followed her gaze and shook her head. “Miss Chu, I didn’t see any wine when I came in.”
Chu Luo puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and muttered through gritted teeth, “Hmph! That bad guy must have taken my wine away.”
Auntie Wu immediately recognized who Chu Luo was talking about. Her body trembled and she reflexively looked at the door. Seeing that no one was there, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Auntie Wu, who had been relieved, felt her heart skip a beat again. She quickly walked over to open the door.
Standing outside the door was Qin Ming.
Qin Ming glanced at Auntie Wu, who immediately left.
Qin Ming walked in and said to Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, Master said that we will leave after you finish your meal.”
Chu Luo glanced at him fiercely and snorted. She didn’t even bother to answer.
Qin Ming thought: ‘No wonder Master didn’t come to eat with Miss Chu. Did he anger her?’
Qin Ming turned around and left.
After Chu Luo ate, she put away the things she had brought into her bag and walked downstairs.
The car was already parked downstairs with the door open and Li Yan sitting inside.
Chu Luo stood outside the car door and asked unhappily, “Where’s my wine?”
When she asked this, she was holding a pill in her hand and waiting to flick it.
Li Yan glanced at her hand and said in his unique cold voice, “At the back.”
Only then did Chu Luo put away the pill in her hand and get into the car.
The car quickly drove out. Chu Luo didn’t want to talk to Li Yan, so she took out her phone to play.
Li Yan retracted his gaze from Chu Luo’s perfect side profile and quickly typed something on his laptop.
However, no one knew that with a move of his finger, a group of people in Y Province was immediately assassinated.
The car drove for six hours before returning to Chu Luo’s residence in the old district.
Chu Luo got out of the car and blocked the door. She glared at Li Yan and said, “You’re not allowed to enter my house.”
After saying that, she gestured to the two people who had walked out of the house. “Bring the wine in the trunk in.”
The two of them glanced at Li Yan, who had a dark expression, then at Chu Luo, who was blocking the door. Their hearts trembled a little, and they didn’t know if they should listen to Chu Luo.
At this moment, Li Yan glanced at them sternly. The two of them quickly walked over to take the jars of wine and walked in.
Chu Luo snorted at Li Yan and returned to the courtyard, slamming the door shut.
After a few seconds, Qin Ming, who was in the driver’s seat, glanced at Li Yan through the rearview mirror and carefully called out, “Master.”
A sharp gaze shot over.
Qin Ming froze.
“Go back.”
…
The next morning, when Chu Luo went downstairs, she found a few maids cleaning the living room.
When the maids saw her, they quickly stopped what they were doing and stood in a row to greet her respectfully. “Miss Chu.”
One of the maids stood up and said, “Miss Chu, we’ll be responsible for your three meals and daily life from now on. If you need anything, please let us know.”
“Who called you guys here?”
“We were sent by the butler.”
As for whose butler it was, it was obvious.
Chu Luo snorted but didn’t say anything else.
The servants heaved a sigh of relief and continued working.
Chu Luo went to the courtyard for her morning practice. Just as she finished her morning practice and ate, a servant came in and told her, “Miss Chu, there’s a Miss surnamed Wu outside the door who wants to see you.”
Chu Luo guessed who it was and quickly said, “Quickly invite her in.”
After saying that, she thought for a while, then put down her chopsticks and said, “Forget it, I’ll go myself.”
When Chu Luo went out, Wu Yiyao was waiting by the door of her house.
She was wearing a white, sleeveless, and long dress that reached the ankles. Coupled with her long hair, she looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.
The moment Wu Yiyao saw Chu Luo, she smiled and said, “Sister Chu, I knew you would be back today.”
Chu Luo walked up to her and sized her up before nodding in satisfaction. “You look good.”
She then gestured to her. “Come in. I’m having breakfast. Eat with me.”
“I’ve already eaten.”
As the two of them spoke, they walked into the courtyard.
Chu Luo asked, “Sister Wu, why are you here today?”
“Didn’t you want to go to the US to participate in the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ World Championship? I came to see if you’re ready,” Wu Yiyao said. “The ‘Battle of Lightyears’ World Championship is the most important event at Blazing Glory’s Annual Gala. There will be other activities then. You will stay there until the middle of August before coming back. You have to prepare more when you go there.”
“Prepare for what? Isn’t money enough to settle everything?”
“…” Wu Yiyao froze for a moment when she heard this, then chuckled. “You’re right.”
After saying that, she took out a name card and passed it to her. “This is my work pass from the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ gaming team. If you want to enter the Blazing Glory Gaming R&D Center to take a look, use my name card. I’ve already informed some people inside. They won’t make things difficult for you.”
