“Hur hur!”

Chu Luo said, “I’m only talking to you because you’re my uncle. But I don’t think that’s necessary now. I’m better off without an uncle like you. I repeat, don’t come looking for me again. You’re just my father’s brother, that’s all.”

With that, she stood up. She didn’t want to eat here anymore.

Li Yan also stood up.

Seeing Chu Luo leave just like that, Chu Zhengyang became even more anxious. He quickly said, “Luoluo, don’t you want to know about your parents?”

Chu Luo didn’t even turn around. “No.”

“What if I told you that your mother isn’t dead and is still alive?”

Chu Luo stopped when she heard this. It wasn’t that she was curious. She just wanted to see what Chu Zhengyang was thinking when he said this.

Chu Zhengyang stood up as well and said, “Back then, your mother disappeared after giving birth to you. We all guessed that she went to look for your father, but later on, I found out that the tomb could move. After that, for more than ten years, no one found that tomb at all. So your mother might still be alive.”

“What’s the meaning of you telling me this?”

“The Wei family has the ability to help us find her. Luoluo, as long as you separate from this man, Uncle will immediately ask the Wei family to help find your mother.”

This time, Li Yan directly wrapped his arm around Chu Luo’s waist and led her out.

As he walked, he said, “If Luoluo’s mother is still alive in this world, I will help her find her.”

After saying that, the two of them walked out.

Chu Zhengyang wanted to catch up to them and stop them, but his feet seemed to have taken root and he couldn’t step out no matter what.

He raised his hand and touched his sad face. He sighed and muttered, “Luoluo, Uncle is doing this for your own good. Why don’t you understand Uncle’s intentions?”

He sat in the private room for a few minutes before walking out.

He had just walked out of the restaurant when he saw someone standing beside his car.

That person was obviously waiting for him.

Chu Zhengyang quickly walked over.

When that person saw him walking over, he said directly, “Mr. Chu, my young master wants to talk to you.”

“Who’s your young master?” Chu Zhengyang looked at him warily.

“You’ll know when you see him.”

Chu Zhengyang wasn’t in the mood to see this young master. He said with a dark expression, “Sorry, I’m not free.”

He was about to open the car door when the person stopped him.

Chu Zhengyang’s expression changed and he was about to berate him.

However, that person spoke first. “Mr. Chu, didn’t you and Miss Chu have a misunderstanding? My young master said that he can help.”

Chu Zhengyang looked at him suspiciously.

“My young master is at the restaurant in front.” That person pointed at a restaurant not far away. “If Mr. Chu wants to see my young master, you can just go there.”

In the end, Chu Zhengyang still went to the restaurant. Once he entered, he was brought to the door of a private room.

The person who led him there knocked on the door three times and pushed open the private room to let him in alone.

Chu Zhengyang walked in and saw a tall man in casual clothes sitting with his back facing him.

“Since Mr. Chu is here, come and sit.”

Chu Zhengyang walked opposite the man and realized that he was wearing a mask. Moreover, he had an indescribable gloomy aura. Being stared at by this person was like being stared at by a cobra. Chu Zhengyang felt a chill down his spine and immediately raised his guard. “Who are you?”

“Someone who can help you.”

Chu Zhengyang didn’t believe him at all.

That person looked at him and continued, “Chu Luo is living with a man of unknown origin right now. She doesn’t intend to go back with you at all, but… do you know who that man is?”

Chu Zhengyang quickly asked, “Who is it?”

“Looks like you don’t know.” That person smiled sinisterly. “Then I’ll tell you, he’s… Li Yan’s man. Moreover, he’s a knife in Li Yan’s hand.”

When Chu Zhengyang heard this, his body trembled for no reason. His face turned pale.

“Luoluo, she actually… actually…” Chu Zhengyang’s lips trembled, and he couldn’t say what he wanted to say. After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he said loudly, “No, I must bring her back. I can’t let her follow that man. Otherwise, her entire life will be ruined.”

“Do you think you have the ability to fight against Li Yan’s men?”

“I…” He wanted to go back and seek help from the Wei family.

That person seemed to have read his mind and laughed again. “Do you think the Wei family still dares to offend Li Yan at this time?”

The Wei family had already offended Li Yan previously and had already suffered heavy losses. They definitely wouldn’t help him now.

Chu Zhengyang’s face turned ashen.

The person touched the handle of his coffee cup. “As long as you cooperate with me, I can help you.”

“Why should I believe you?”

“Because I’m from the Qin family.”

“Are you talking about the Qin family in the capital?”

There were many aristocratic families in the capital. These aristocratic families were only rich, but there were two top-notch families in the capital. One was the Duanmu family, and the other was the Qin family. Not only were they rich, but they also had power.

“Right. Are you going to cooperate with me now?”

Chu Zhengyang lowered his head and clenched his fists. After a while, he said, “Let me think.”

“I’ll give you a day to think about it. You have to understand that it is dangerous for Chu Luo to stay by that man’s side for one more day. You might just have to look at her corpse tomorrow.”

Chu Zhengyang’s body trembled. He didn’t want to think anymore and said directly, “Okay, I agree.”

…

Chu Luo didn’t stay idle when she returned.

As she had applied for a lot of specializations, the school had asked her to choose a specialization in advance.

In the afternoon, she took a pen and a notebook and sat cross-legged on the sofa with a laptop. She watched all the professional introductions as she wrote and drew on the notebook.

Li Yan sat beside her and worked.

When Chu Luo was choosing mechanical engineering, she tapped on a few majors and was a little unsure. She thought for a while and quickly attacked the school’s library to find books on this topic.

A day passed quickly.

At around four in the afternoon, Li Yan suddenly received a call.

Chu Luo sat beside him and could tell that Qin Ming was reporting something. Just then, she heard Qin Ming say, “Anya is following me.”

Li Yan was about to speak when Chu Luo quickly tugged at his clothes. When Li Yan looked over, she asked, “Why is Anya following Qin Ming?”

Li Yan put his phone on speaker.

Chu Luo asked Qin Ming, “Why is Anya following you?”

Qin Ming was silent for a while before saying, “She wants to see you and Master.”

“This person really doesn’t give up.” Chu Luo thought for a while. In any case, she was tired from reading books today, so she might as well go play. She asked, “Where are you guys now?”

Qin Ming: “I’m going back to the villa immediately.”

The villa Qin Ming was talking about was the Li family villa.

Chu Luo’s eyes darted around, and she said to Li Yan, “Why don’t we go to your villa to play tonight?”

Li Yan looked at her sparkling eyes and couldn’t bear to refuse. He said, “Let’s go over after dinner.”

“Okay.” When Chu Luo heard this, she happily went to put on her shoes. After putting on her shoes, she held his hand and said, “Don’t work anymore. Let’s go wash our hands and eat.”

Li Yan put his laptop down and walked upstairs with her.

The two of them stood at the sink. Chu Luo went to get the handwash while Li Yan stood beside her.

Chu Luo also got some for him.

As she did so, she asked, “Did anyone check your place properly afterward?”

After asking that, she started washing her hands under the tap. In the next moment, her hands were grabbed by a hand from behind.

Li Yan stood behind her and hugged her as they washed their hands together. He replied as he washed, “I got someone to redecorate that courtyard.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she turned to look at him.

Unexpectedly, his face was right beside her shoulder. When she tilted her head, her lips swept across his chin.

Li Yan lowered his head and intercepted her lips.

“Mm… I’m not done washing my hands.”

“Wash them later.”

Li Yan turned her around.

…

After a while, they continued to wash their hands. Chu Luo even nudged him with her elbow, displeased. “I have hand soap on my clothes.”

“Change them later.”

After washing her hands, Chu Luo changed her clothes and went downstairs.

After dinner, the two of them went to the Li family villa.

The car drove all the way into the villa entrance and finally stopped outside a villa in the front.

It was already dark and the villa was brightly lit. The moment the car stopped, two people quickly walked out from the villa, one behind the other.

It was Qin Ming and Anya.

When Anya saw that it was Chu Luo and Li Yan, she quickened her pace.

“Li, Chu, I finally got to see you.”

She then said a little unhappily, “Li, your subordinate is too disrespectful.”

Li Yan glanced at Anya and decided to ignore her as he walked through the door.

Chu Luo followed him.

Anya quickly stopped Chu Luo. “Chu, can we talk?”

Chu Luo thought for a moment and stopped.

Li Yan, who had taken a step forward, stopped to look at the two of them.

Chu Luo said, “Go in first. We’ll come in later.”

Li Yan nodded and entered with Qin Ming.

Chu Luo looked at Anya. “What do you want to talk to me about?”

Anya was about to speak when Chu Luo said first, “If you want to talk about the taxation of the Blazing Glory Corporation in your country, don’t.”

Anya: “…”

Then why had she been following a stinky man who never showed her a pleasant countenance all this time?

Anya felt a little aggrieved. This, coupled with the fact that she had been pampered since she was young, made her tone sound arrogant. “I’m talking to you as a princess of a country. If you…”

“What can you do to me if I don’t want to talk to you?”

Anya swallowed and refused to give up. “I heard that you’ve taken over the Lausanne family’s cosmetics company. If…”

“Hur hur!”

Chu Luo turned around and walked towards the door. As she walked, she said, “Then there’s no need for us to discuss. Anyway, that cosmetics company hasn’t started operating yet. The world is so big. I can open it in whichever country I want. I won’t lose anything.”

Anya was about to vomit blood. She raised her voice and said, “Chu, stop right there.”

After saying that, she quickly ran up to her and stopped her.

Chu Luo looked at Anya, who was a little taller than her, and narrowed her eyes. Her aura surged. While Anya was stunned by her aura, Chu Luo approached her and spoke in a dangerous tone.

“This isn’t your country or the embassy. Your status as a princess can’t scare me at all. Say, if I use magic to turn you into something else, can you resist?”

Anya suddenly thought of her mother. Her body trembled and her face turned even paler. “What… do you want to do?”

“What?”

Chu Luo raised her hand and snapped her fingers. The environment suddenly changed.

Looking at the various terrifying animals crawling over from all directions, Anya screamed in fear.

“Ahhh…”

“Just that and you’re afraid?”

Chu Luo chuckled. After she snapped her fingers, the surroundings returned to normal.

Anya’s face was frighteningly pale.

Chu Luo said breezily, “How about I turn you into one of them?”

Anya’s lips trembled as she looked at Chu Luo. Moisture quickly gathered in her eyes. “You… you bully.”

Chu Luo smiled. “Didn’t you bully me first?”

After saying that, she raised her hand.

“Ahhh… stop conjuring!”

Anya quickly closed her eyes and shielded her face with her hands.

Chu Luo sneered and said, “I just want to sweep the hair off your face.”

Anya’s body trembled and she quickly put down her hand to watch as the strand of hair on her face was tucked behind her ear.

Chu Luo asked, “Do you want to continue?”

Anya quickly shook her head.

“Do you want to stop my company from operating?”

Anya shook her head again.

Only then was Chu Luo satisfied. She suddenly thought of something and her lips curled up into a calculative smile. “Since you want Li Yan to take back what he said before, I have an idea.”
