The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute

Chapter 95: Chu Yan, Her Older Brother

Chu Luo listened to the sobbing and laughing sounds on the other side and couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her lips a few times. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she stood up from her seat and walked out of the door.

She ran out of water in the study, so she wanted to go and drink some water before coming back to discuss with them where to eat tonight.

As she walked out of the study, the sound of a keyboard came from the room beside her.

Chu Luo was a little surprised and walked over.

The door wasn’t closed tightly.

Chu Luo pushed open the door and was surprised to see Li Yan sitting inside.

Not far from him sat a secretary who was also typing.

When the door was pushed open, Li Yan and the secretary looked up at the same time.

Chu Luo looked at the computer in front of Li Yan and asked strangely, “Do you work here?”

“Mm.” Li Yan closed his laptop and stood up to walk over. “What are you doing?”

“I’m going to get some water.”

Chu Luo was about to go downstairs after answering when she suddenly thought of something. She looked at him and asked, “Why do you work at my house?”

“My house and company aren’t safe.”

The secretary, who was sitting there eavesdropping, typed a series of characters by accident on his laptop. He quickly adjusted his expression and calmly deleted the few erroneous lines before continuing to work.

When Chu Luo heard Li Yan say that, she thought about the batch of Love Gu from last night and looked at him sympathetically. “How did that woman get into your house last night? And what exactly was her motive?”

Li Yan instantly exuded a murderous aura but didn’t answer her.

Seeing that he didn’t answer, Chu Luo turned around and walked downstairs casually.

Li Yan followed behind her.

Chu Luo had just drunk her water when her phone rang.

It was from Wu Yiyao.

She swiped her phone to answer the call, and Wu Yiyao’s gentle laughter could be heard. “Sister Chu, congratulations on your team’s advancement.”

Chu Luo giggled and said, “Thank you.”

The two of them spoke for a while before Chu Luo asked about her health for the past few days.

Wu Yiyao couldn’t hide the joy in her voice as she told her, “I’m recovering very well now. I even received an offer from Imperial University yesterday. After this summer break, I’ll be able to go to Imperial University to teach once I’ve recovered.”

Chu Luo was happy for her when she heard this.

The two of them spoke for a while more before hanging up.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo saw that Li Yan was still standing beside her and asked in confusion, “Didn’t you want to drink water?”

Li Yan reached over to pour some water into his glass.

Chu Luo looked at him drink the water and was about to speak when her phone rang again. It was from Tang Zhiyun.

In their excitement, Tang Zhiyun and the other three hadn’t realized that they were still connected with Chu Luo on the microphone. The big boys flushed instantly. They had wanted to explain, but when they found that Chu Luo wasn’t at the computer, they heaved a sigh of relief. Then, Tang Zhiyun called her.

Tang Zhiyun asked Chu Luo, “Junior, where do you want to eat?”

Then, he added, “Why don’t we go to the old district to eat? You’re a girl…”

“Senior Tang.” Chu Luo smiled as she interrupted him. “It’s not like you don’t know what I’m capable of. Don’t worry, I’ll come to Imperial University to look for you guys later. The food we ate at that restaurant that day wasn’t bad. I want to eat there.”

Tang Zhiyun talked with the other three and they discussed for a while before agreeing.

The two of them hung up.

Chu Luo put away her phone and looked at Li Yan. “I’m going out.”

With that, she walked upstairs to get something.

Li Yan didn’t follow her this time but walked out.

When Chu Luo came downstairs with her things, she didn’t see Li Yan. When she reached the door, she saw that he was standing by the pavilion listening to Qin Ming’s report.

“Master, that woman is the daughter of Zhang Jingcai’s mistress. The Gu worms were obtained by Zhang Jingcai’s first wife. His first wife is a member of the Ouyang family.”

When Chu Luo heard this, her mind got filled with scenes of a conspiracy. She thought to herself, “Those people actually dared to target Li Yan. Are they tired of living?”

Indeed, Li Yan said in a cold voice, “Since they don’t want to live anymore, let them have their way.”

“Yes.”

“Also, find out who’s behind them.”

“Yes.”

Qin Ming left.

At this moment, Li Yan turned around and looked at Chu Luo with a fierce gaze that he hadn’t had the time to retract.

Chu Luo asked him, “You mean Madam Zhang was also used by someone?”

Li Yan pursed his lips tightly and didn’t answer, but his expression confirmed Chu Luo’s guess.

Chu Luo knew that she had guessed correctly. She suddenly felt a little sympathy for him. Although this man had the ability to make people tremble in fear, he still had to be on guard against being plotted against and assassinated. He was actually very pitiful.

At the thought of this, Chu Luo’s mind went blank and she asked, “I’m going to have a meal with my seniors. Do you want to go with me?”

When Li Yan heard this, a different expression finally flashed across his cold eyes.

He stared at her expression, as if trying to determine if she was being serious.

Chu Luo blinked and asked, “You don’t want to go?”

Just as she was about to say forget it if he didn’t want to go, she saw Li Yan walking towards her.

“Let’s go.”

Chu Luo looked at his face and thought about his ability to attract enemies. She didn’t want anyone to dampen her spirits during dinner. She said, “Why don’t you put on a mask first?”

As she spoke, she thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, so she added, “Actually, it’s better if you don’t. The seniors will definitely be shocked to see you wearing a mask… Wait a minute, I happen to have some ointment that can turn a person’s skin black. I’ll get some to apply on your face.”

With that, she turned around and strode into the door under Li Yan’s intense gaze.

Chu Luo really took out a small bottle of ointment and gestured to Li Yan. “Lower your head a little, or else I won’t be able to help you apply it.”

Li Yan lowered his head slightly.

As Chu Luo applied the ointment on his handsome face with a cotton bud, she said, “Don’t worry. When we come back, I’ll remove the ointment on your face with another kind of ointment. I promise that it won’t cause any adverse effects or side effects to your face.”

Their faces were very close to each other, and they could feel each other’s breaths. Chu Luo’s cosmetics were all made by herself, and the fragrance on her body was faint but especially fresh and pleasant. Li Yan lowered his eyes to look at the beautiful face inches away from him and narrowed his eyes.

After a while, Chu Luo retracted her hand and announced to Li Yan, “It’s done.”

Li Yan finally stood up.

When the two of them went out, Li Yan didn’t let Qin Ming follow him. Instead, he drove.

When they arrived, besides Tang Zhiyun and the other three, Wang Mingtao was also there.

Chu Luo had just alighted from the car when Wang Mingtao came over excitedly. “Sister Chu, you were too awesome today. You don’t know, but even my father saw this match today. He keeps praising your strategies.”

After saying that, he suddenly laughed. “Initially, my father didn’t really support me playing games. After seeing your performance today, I told him that I knew you, and he actually told me to play properly. Hehe…”

Chu Luo smiled when she heard this.

Just then, Tang Zhiyun and the other three walked over. After greeting each other, they all looked at Li Yan, who was getting out of the driver’s seat.

Even though Li Yan had had some ointment applied that darkened his face, he couldn’t conceal his extraordinary aura. When the boys met his gaze, they felt an inexplicable fear.

Tang Zhiyun asked carefully, “Junior, who is this?”

Chu Luo turned to look at the cold Li Yan and gave him a look to make him retract his aura.

Only then did she turn around and introduce them. “This is…”

“Chu Yan, her older brother.”

“Hello, Brother Chu.”

“Hello, Brother Chu.”

…

The group greeted Li Yan obediently at the same time, not noticing Chu Luo’s stunned expression.

After exchanging greetings, everyone walked towards the restaurant.

Along the way, everyone, excluding Li Yan, chatted and laughed. They talked about the excitement and nervousness from today, about how Ouyang Yu and the rest must have reacted after they were defeated, and wondered if they could make it to the finals of the World Championships in a week.

At this moment, Wang Mingtao suddenly asked, “I remember that the country that holds the world finals in ‘Battle of Lightyears’ every year is different. I wonder which country it will be held in this year. If it’s in another country, I’ll follow you there.”

Tang Zhiyun thought for a moment and said, “It is likely to be held in the US.”

“Then, are we going overseas?” Chu Luo wanted to go overseas to take a look. She felt that there were many magical things in this world that she wanted to study.

“We’re indeed going overseas, so the game company gave us a week to rest and prepare.”

Chu Luo nodded and decided to check on the local customs of the United States when she returned.

As they spoke, they arrived at the restaurant.

It was the peak dining period. When they entered, the hall was already filled with people. There wasn’t even an available private room.

After asking the service staff, Tang Zhiyun came back and said to Chu Luo and Li Yan apologetically, “I forgot to book a private room here beforehand. Brother Chu, Little Junior Sister, why don’t we go somewhere else for dinner?”

Chu Luo nodded. Since the restaurant was full, they couldn’t possibly let the boss kick out one table of patrons.

The group walked out of the door.

However, just as they left, they saw Ouyang Yu and a few other boys striding in.

As Ouyang Yu walked up to Chu Luo and the others, he first glanced at Tang Zhiyun and the others with those gloomy eyes. Without saying anything, he walked past them towards the counter.

“Ha!” Xie Minghai sneered at their backs. “What did some people say before the competition? I just want to ask if their face hurts now.”

“Xie Minghai, f*ck you…” A tall and thin man walking beside Ouyang Yu pulled a long face and wanted to beat someone up.

“You want to fight, huh? I’ll entertain you anytime!”

“Gangzi, take note of the occasion.” Ouyang Yu stopped the man called Gangzi. Without looking at Xie Minghai, he walked to the counter and took out a gold card. With a proud expression, he said to the cashier, “Open a private room for us immediately.”

“Sure, Young Master Ouyang. There’s another private room upstairs.” The cashier respectfully took the card and quickly called for a service staff. “Bring the young masters up.”

When they followed the waiter upstairs, they turned to look at Tang Zhiyun with disdain and provocation in their eyes.

Someone even gave them a thumbs down.
