Then, all the students in Grade 12, Class 4 realized that the teachers in every class would pay special attention to Chu Luo.

Old Gao even gave her a stack of revision questions and information.

Someone looked at the revision questions piled on Chu Luo’s desk and couldn’t help but whisper:

“Old Gao must be crazy. He gave Chu Luo such difficult revision questions. Can she do it?”

“That’s right. These revision questions might as well be given to the students with good grades. It would be a waste to give them to Chu Luo.”

…

Chu Luo didn’t care what the others said, simply focusing on that sea of questions.

…

Not long after class started in the afternoon, someone knocked on the door of Class Four.

The first class was Chinese. The Chinese teacher walked over to open the door, and a voice could be heard coming from outside. “Please help me call Miss Chu Luo. Madam is waiting for her downstairs.”

Chu Luo frowned when she heard that Wei Wei was waiting for her.

However, she still stood up and walked out when the language teacher called her.

When the servant saw Chu Luo, she greeted her, “Second Miss.” Then, she turned around and led her downstairs.

Wei Wei’s car was parked below the school building.

When Chu Luo walked out, she saw Wei Wei and Chu Ting waiting for her in the car.

She walked over and called out, “Mommy, you’re looking for me?”

Noticing the difference in Chu Luo at a glance, Wei Wei felt a surge of anger in her heart for no reason. “Chu Luo, your sister isn’t feeling well at school. Not only do you not care about her, you even dolled up beautifully after moving out. Do you still have your sister in your heart?”

When Chu Luo heard this, she said with a straight face, “I’m not dolled up.”

“You…”

Just as Wei Wei was about to lecture Chu Luo, Chu Ting, who was leaning on Wei Wei’s shoulder, said with a pained expression, “Mommy, I feel terrible.”

Wei Wei glared at Chu Luo. “Get into the car.”

Chu Luo stared at the mother-and-daughter duo sitting in the car with a cold expression. “I still have class.”

“Class?!” Wei Wei’s tone immediately became more serious. “You think you can get into a good university within the last two months when you’ve been neglecting your studies all this time?!”

She had been staying at the hospital for the past few days, watching her nephew suffer. She was already feeling awful to begin with.

And today, she received a call from Chu Ting’s form teacher informing her that Chu Ting had the tendency to self-harm in school. She was so startled that she immediately rushed over.

If Chu Ting hadn’t insisted on calling Chu Luo along, she would have long forgotten about this person.

She was furious to hear Chu Luo disobeying her. She immediately said fiercely, “Chu Luo, have you grown wings? You don’t even listen to your mother anymore. If that’s the case, then don’t go home.”

Chu Luo looked at Wei Wei with a dark gaze. She frowned and warned herself that the person in front of her was the mother of this body, that she shouldn’t be rash.

She nodded at her expressionlessly and turned to leave.

Behind her, Chu Ting’s anxious voice could be heard. “Chu Luo, stop right there! Mom, make her leave with us…”

“Tingting, why do you insist she comes with us? Since she doesn’t want to go back with us, she shouldn’t go back anymore.” Wei Wei was in a fit of anger. She interrupted her and said to the driver, “Drive to the hospital.”

“I’m not going to the hospital.”

As the car drove away, Chu Luo could vaguely hear Chu Ting’s frantic and tormented voice.

Chu Luo lifted the corners of her mouth. If not for the fact that she had gone through the laws here and found out that she would need a guardian to sign before she turned 18 years old to take the college entrance examination, she would have nothing to do with this family.

After school in the afternoon, since there wasn’t anyone to cook for her at home anymore, Chu Luo ate at the school and went to the library to revise until 10:30 pm.

When she walked back to the apartment building, she suddenly felt something amiss.

The building was too quiet, so quiet that no one seemed to be living in it. But on the floor where she lived, the lights were on.

Chu Luo stood downstairs and didn’t enter immediately.

At this moment, two bodyguards in black suits walked out from the corridor.

“Miss Chu.”

After greeting her, they left.

Chu Luo tilted her head and looked in the direction where the two of them left. She was a little confused.

“Why are they still here?”

Since they were acquaintances, she had no qualms about entering.

When she climbed up the stairs, she realized that the door to her apartment was wide open.

Chu Luo’s face darkened. She angrily strode over and shouted from outside the door, “I told you not to barge into my room!”

After saying that, she looked up and met the eyes of the person sitting in the wheelchair.

Chu Luo narrowed her eyes. “Why did you come to my house?”

Li Yan’s expression wasn’t very good either. He had waited here for a long time and didn’t expect her to return only now.

He said in an unfriendly tone, “Have you forgotten what you should do after receiving my jade pendant?”

“Uh…”

Chu Luo felt a little guilty when she heard this.

However, she definitely wouldn’t show it. Instead, she said, “I didn’t know where you were. If you don’t come to me, how can I treat your leg?”

At this point, she suddenly became self-righteous. “Didn’t I ask you to look up my phone number and call me?”

Li Yan looked at her with a dark expression. The cold air emanating from his body seemed to be able to freeze the entire living room.

Chu Luo wasn’t affected at all. She carried her bag and walked towards the bedroom. As she walked, she said, “I’ll go wash up first.”

She then entered the bedroom.

When she came out of the bathroom, Li Yan was still there.

Chu Luo looked at the group of bodyguards standing in her living room as though they were wallpaper and said, “Ask them to go out first.”

Li Yan glanced at her and raised his hand to the bodyguards.

After all the bodyguards had left, Chu Luo walked over and closed the door of the living room before walking up to him.

She had just taken a shower and was wearing an ordinary set of light pink cotton pajamas. Her hair was still dripping with water, and her fringe was gathered on her forehead, revealing her exquisite facial features and smooth forehead.

Her face was fair and her skin was like a peach blossom. Coupled with the pair of big eyes that seemed to be talking, she was simply too exquisite. Give her a little more time, and she would definitely grow to be drop-dead gorgeous.

She was no longer the same disfigured person with a low sense of self-worth as described by his investigations.

Seeing her like this, Li Yan narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, “Who are you?”

Chu Luo grinned at him. “Did you not investigate me?”

Li Yan closed his eyes slightly. After a while, he said with certainty, “That piece of jade removed the scar on your forehead.”

“Jade?” Chu Luo looked at him strangely. “Do you think that jade has such a magical effect?”

Li Yan stared at her smooth forehead and tapped his fingers on the wheelchair. His tone was dangerous. “That piece of jade was brought out from a legendary and magical king’s tomb. Many people want it from me right now. You’d better cure my leg, otherwise…”

“What do they want this jade for?” Chu Luo had a bad premonition.

Li Yan didn’t answer her but looked at her with his cold eyes.

Chu Luo knew that she wouldn’t be able to get anything out of him. She wasn’t in a hurry either. She decided to investigate on her own, and she said, “I said that I’m not someone who goes back on my words.”

After saying that, she gestured to him with a serious expression. “Take off your pants. Let me see if you’re cursed or poisoned by Gu.”
