The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute Novel - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Only Because You’re a Sick Person

Chu Luo and Li Yan walked upstairs. After going upstairs, she thought for a while and said to Li Yan, “Wait, I’ll go concoct some medicine for you.”

With that, she went to her herbs room.

By the time she finished concocting the medicine for the cold, it was already past midnight.

When she walked out of the room, the corridor was very quiet. Li Yan’s room wasn’t tightly closed and light could be seen through the cracks of the door.

Chu Luo walked over with the pill. Just as she reached the door, she heard a cough from inside.

She stood by the door and called out, “Li Yan.”

A low and hoarse voice sounded. “Come in.”

Chu Luo pushed open the door and saw Li Yan in his pajamas, reading a book on the edge of the bed.

At this moment, he had restrained his sharpness. He was already extraordinarily handsome to begin with. With his cold eyes that could make people tremble subdued and with him coughing from time to time, he actually looked like a sickly beauty.

Chu Luo was about to sigh with emotion.

But Li Yan suddenly looked up at her.

Chu Luo immediately stopped praising him in her heart and walked in to hand him the pill.

“I’ve concocted this cold medicine for you. I guarantee that you’ll be fine by tomorrow morning.”

Li Yan took the pill and was about to swallow it.

“Hey, wait a minute.”

Chu Luo quickly stopped him. “Don’t you take your pills with water?”

Li Yan pointed at the hot water flask beside him. “There’s water inside.”

Chu Luo stood there and glared at him.

Li Yan started coughing violently.

Chu Luo turned around and walked towards the hot water flask. As she walked, she muttered, “Only because you’re a sick person.”

Li Yan listened to her words of reluctance and his lips curled up slightly.

When he saw the little thing’s aggrieved look, his mood finally improved.

Chu Luo poured some water and walked over to give it to him.

Li Yan lay down after taking his medicine.

The next day.

After Chu Luo got out of bed, she pulled open the curtains to take a look. Seeing that the rain had yet to stop, she thought that she couldn’t go anywhere in this weather. She decided to just stay at home and play games.

After she washed up and went downstairs, the first thing Chu Luo saw wasn’t Li Yan sitting there but a large pile of parcels on the sofa in the living room.

Someone said to Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, these are all your parcels.”

“Eh?” Chu Luo was a little surprised. “How did these parcels arrive so quickly?”

If she didn’t remember wrongly, many parcels had to be sent from other provinces. The orders were placed last night, and they actually arrived this morning.

Although she felt that it was strange, she still happily walked over to pick up a parcel and opened it.

It was a piece of clothing with excellent workmanship and material.

As if discovering a treasure, Chu Luo picked out the parcels of clothes and pants and opened them one by one.

She was very satisfied with the material and workmanship of the contents of every parcel.

Chu Luo couldn’t help but think about buying clothes from that website in the future. A few hundred yuan was enough to buy such good clothes. She didn’t need to waste mental energy over this matter anymore.

Li Yan, who was sitting there, looked at the little thing whose lips were curled up and picked up the tea beside him to take a sip.

After breakfast, Li Yan left.

Thinking that the clothes she had bought hadn’t been paid, Chu Luo took out her phone and tapped on the payment platform for that online shopping site.

However, when she clicked on “To Receive,” she blinked several times.

There was actually nothing inside.

“Did I automatically pay for it?”

She clicked on the “Already Paid” button and heaved a sigh of relief.

However, she was still puzzled. “I didn’t set an automatic payment. Why did it automatically pay? Is it a system bug?”

Just as she was considering whether to hack into the logs of the Taobao website to take a look, an unexpected call came in.

It was from her high school form teacher, Old Gao.

Chu Luo picked up the phone and greeted happily, “Teacher Gao.”

Old Gao asked about her recent situation on the phone and said in a jovial tone, “There are still eight days until the results are released. Don’t forget to check your results on the 26th at eight in the morning.”

Chu Luo smiled and replied, “I won’t forget.”

She believed that even if she didn’t check it herself, Old Gao would help her.

She said, “Teacher Gao, just wait for the celebration party.”

Old Gao laughed even louder. “Hahaha… Okay! Okay! When you get into Imperial University, I’ll book you a star-rated hotel and prepare a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for one week.”

Chu Luo giggled at his words. After laughing, she said, “I don’t need a Manchu Han Imperial Feast. When the time comes, I will be content if Mrs. Gao will prepare a table full of dishes for me.”

“Good! Good! Good!”

Old Gao then asked probingly, “Little Chu Luo, are you staying with your parents in the capital?”

When Chu Luo heard this, she knew that her uncle had looked for Old Gao. After thinking for a while, she said, “No. I live elsewhere.”

Old Gao was silent for a while before saying, “Although I don’t know what happened after you went to the capital, I know that you definitely won’t stay with just anyone for no reason.

“If it’s not convenient for you to stay at someone else’s house, come stay at Teacher Gao’s house. You are welcome to stay at my place anytime.”

Chu Luo didn’t expect Old Gao to say that. She was touched and nodded before saying, “It’s very convenient for me to stay here. Teacher Gao, don’t worry.”

“Eh! Okay!” Old Gao remained very sure of her. “I know you have your own difficulties. Think about this matter carefully. As long as you don’t regret it in the future, it’s fine.”

“Mm.”

The two of them spoke a few more words before hanging up.

Chu Luo looked at her phone and smiled. Since Chu Zhengyang had approached Old Gao, she had to make a call no matter what. She swiped the screen and called Chu Zhengyang.

The phone rang twice before it was picked up. Chu Zhengyang’s tired and polite voice could be heard.

“Hello.”

“Uncle, it’s me.”

“Luoluo!” Chu Zhengyang’s voice became excited. “You’re finally willing to call Uncle.”

He quickly added, “Luoluo, do you want to come back? Uncle will come and fetch you immediately.”

“No.” Chu Luo asked as Chu Zhengyang exhaled in disappointment, “Uncle, have you found the master you said you were trying to find for me?”

Chu Zhengyang suddenly fell silent. As if worried that Chu Luo would discover something, he immediately said, “Master is already on the way. Come back first. Once Master arrives, we will transfer away the Gu worm in your body.”

Chu Luo curled her lips. Previously, she had taught Master Xiang a lesson, so he definitely wouldn’t come over. The people raising Gu in Nanjiang all knew each other. If she didn’t guess wrongly, after Master Xiang’s painful lesson, the others would definitely reconsider.

So the Wei family and Chu Zhengyang had yet to successfully invite a Gu Master.

Chu Luo said calmly, “I don’t want to go back. Once I go back, Aunt and Chu Ting will think of ways to harm me.”

At this point, she deliberately stopped.

Indeed, Chu Zhengyang quickly said, “Luoluo, I apologize on behalf of your aunt and Tingting for what they did to you previously, but you’re somewhere very dangerous right now. The identity of the owner of that residence is unknown. Maybe it’s…”

“Maybe it’s what?” Chu Luo interrupted him. “No matter what his identity is, at the very least, I can live here freely. I can do whatever I want and have whatever I want. I don’t have to put up with Aunt’s attitude anymore, and I won’t be tricked by Chu Ting and have my living expenses taken away.”

Chu Luo’s tone was very calm when she said these words. It was this tone that made Chu Zhengyang unable to retort at all.

He was silent for a long while before he sighed and said, “Luoluo, no matter what, we’re your only family. Uncle wouldn’t harm you… Are you really not going to come back?”

“I will,” Chu Luo said. “I’ll be back on the morning of the 26th.”

When Chu Zhengyang heard this, he was finally relieved. He was about to speak when Chu Luo said, “Uncle, I’m hanging up to play games.”

Chu Zhengyang once again didn’t know what to say. He could only say, “Then take good care of yourself. If you want to come back, call Uncle. No matter when, Uncle will come and pick you up.”

Chu Luo hung up after responding.

Chu Zhengyang put away his phone and turned around, only to see Chu Ting standing behind him and staring at him.

Chu Zhengyang was stunned.

“Daddy, who were you talking to on the phone?”

Chu Ting opened her eyes, which appeared abnormally big due to her thinness, wide and stared at Chu Zhengyang.

Worried that it would agitate her, Chu Zhengyang said, “It’s a client.”

“Daddy, you’re lying!” Chu Ting raised her voice, only to lower her voice in the next second. “You were clearly calling Chu Luo. Why did you lie to me?”

“I…”

“Daddy, are you afraid that I will get agitated again when I hear her name?” Chu Ting’s lips curled into a smug smirk. “It’s useless even if you call her. This is my uncles’ house. Mommy said that she wouldn’t let her come back.”

Chu Zhengyang’s face darkened. “Tingting, why do you dislike Luoluo so much?”

Clearly, Chu Luo was the one who was always getting bullied.

Chu Ting raised her chin. “It’s not that I dislike her, it’s that I hate her. She’s clearly not your and Mommy’s child. Why do I have to share my things with her?”

Chu Zhengyang looked at Chu Ting in disbelief. He didn’t expect her to have such thoughts.

A surge of anger suddenly appeared in his heart. He strode towards Chu Ting and grabbed her shoulders. “Tingting, Luoluo is your cousin. Why do you have such thoughts?”

“Hmph! So what if she’s my cousin? Mommy said that because of Chu Luo and her mother, she almost had a miscarriage when she was pregnant with me back then, and it even caused Mommy to suffer from depression for a long time, so…”

Chu Ting stared straight into Chu Zhengyang’s eyes and said, “She deserves to die!”

When Chu Zhengyang heard this, his heart felt like it had been smashed by a thousand pounds. It was so painful that he almost couldn’t breathe.

There was shock and disbelief in his eyes. In the end, it turned into anger. His face turned ashen as he gritted his teeth and roared, “Wei Wei, how dare you teach our daughter like this!”
