The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute.

Wei Xueying thought that Chu Luo was being shy, so she didn’t continue. Instead, she asked, “Do you want me to drive you there?”

Chu Luo shook her head. “No need. I’ll just walk.”

Thus, Wei Xueying drove away.

As Chu Luo watched the red sports car drive away, she suddenly remembered that Cui Xudong had mentioned that he knew some of the Chu family’s secrets. Her lips curled up unconsciously.

The first thing Chu Zhengyang did after returning was to look for Chu Luo.

“Luoluo, next time, if you come back early, remember to call Uncle. Otherwise, I’ll be worried.”

Chu Luo looked at the worried Chu Zhengyang and felt no emotions.

She knew that the person standing in front of her was suddenly so concerned about her because of his guilt. If he were to choose between her and Chu Ting again, he would still choose Chu Ting in the end.

She didn’t answer. Instead, she asked, “Is Master here?”

Chu Zhengyang’s expression froze for a moment. In the next second, he said to her in a soothing tone, “He’s on the way. Don’t worry, the Gu worm in your body will be transferred away in two days.”

“Is that so?”

Chu Luo knew that the so-called Master Xiang couldn’t wait to never appear in front of her again. How could he possibly come again?

So, Chu Zhengyang was lying to her.

Chu Zhengyang obviously didn’t want Chu Luo to ask more questions, so he changed the topic and asked, “Dinner is about to start. Where do you want to eat?”

Chu Luo looked at him. “Do you think I’m in the mood to see other people right now?”

Guilt flashed across Chu Zhengyang’s face again. He said, “Then I’ll get the servants to send your food over.”

With that, he left.

The Wei residence was obviously very lively tonight. After dinner, the servants went in and out. Even the servants in the backyard were busy.

The window of Chu Luo’s bedroom was facing the garden at the back. As soon as the window was opened, she could hear their conversation.

“Young Master is finally getting engaged to Miss Bai. Miss Bai is the only daughter of the Bai family. After Young Master gets engaged to Miss Bai, the Wei family’s status in the capital will become even higher.”

“I heard that it was Miss Bai who chased after Young Master. Indeed, our Young Master is more charming.”

“That’s for sure. Our Young Master is mature, stable, and handsome. He is one of the top ten golden bachelors in the Imperial Capital. Just watch. When the time comes, many young ladies will definitely be sad.”

“Hehe, Young Master and Miss Bai are getting engaged. Everyone from the capital’s upper-class society will definitely come. Do you think someone will try to snatch the bride then?”

“You’re thinking too much. With Miss Bai’s temper, who would dare to snatch her away?”

When Chu Luo heard this, she closed the window and drew the curtains.

The next morning, the Wei residence became lively again.

Chu Luo had just walked to the backyard when she saw the gardeners transplanting a type of rose into a flower bed.

The rose petals were layered beautifully.

Coincidentally, two gardeners were exclaiming:

“The Wei family is really generous. The Juliet Rose is so expensive, but they actually transplanted 999 roses in one go.”

“What’s there to be surprised about? The Wei family is a prestigious family. How can they be short of this bit of money?”

“That’s true.”

Only then did Chu Luo learn that these roses were called Juliet Roses. However, she wasn’t interested in these flowers and plants, so she walked away.

Unexpectedly, during breakfast, Wei Yongchang sent someone to call her over.

When Chu Luo arrived at the hall in front, everyone from the Wei family was there. Even Chu Ting was sitting there.

There was joy on everyone’s faces, especially in those of the madams. They were chatting merrily, looking like they were in high spirits. Even Wei Wei was chatting with them with a smile.

The youngsters surrounded Wei Zihan and chatted merrily.

Chu Zhengyang was the first to see Chu Luo. He walked over to speak to her. “Luoluo, how did you sleep last night?”

Chu Luo didn’t answer him.

At this moment, Wei Yongchang said, “Since everyone is here, let’s eat.”

The butler immediately instructed the servants to serve breakfast.

Everyone approached the long table that could seat more than ten people and sat down.

Wei Wei ignored Chu Luo.

Chu Ting still didn’t know that Wei Yongchang wanted to invite Master Xiang back for Chu Luo. Ever since Chu Luo appeared, she had been looking at her with a smug and evil gaze.

After breakfast was served, Wei Yongchang spoke first.

“Tomorrow night is the day of Zihan and Qianyue’s engagement. Everyone must attend it. Also, those who don’t have evening gowns can go and have them custom-made today.”

The youngsters from the Wei family immediately agreed to have their gowns custom-made after dinner. They’d also get their hair done and head to the spa.

Wei Yongchang waited for them to finish speaking before he suddenly turned to Chu Zhengyang and said, “Take Luoluo to buy a few gowns later.”

Before Chu Zhengyang could say anything, the frail Chu Ting suddenly said to Wei Yongchang in a wheedling tone, “Eldest Uncle, you’re being biased. Why are you buying clothes only for Chu Luo and not for me?”

Wei Yongchang glanced at her and said, “You’d better not attend since you’re so weak.”

“No way! How can I not attend Eldest Cousin’s engagement? Besides, tomorrow night is Eldest Cousin’s big day. I can’t be happier. How can I be agitated?”

Wei Yongchang thought for a while and said to Wei Wei, “Since Tingting insists on participating, take good care of her tomorrow night.”

Actually, Wei Wei didn’t really want Chu Ting to attend this engagement party. After all, Master had said that her core had been injured and that emotional upheavals would be difficult for her to recover from. Most importantly, she didn’t want Chu Ting to know that they were transferring the Gu worm away from Chu Luo’s body.

However, she thought about how such an important event was going to take place tomorrow night. All the young masters and young mistresses of the upper-class society would be present, and she wanted Chu Ting to befriend more people, so she only hesitated for a moment before saying to Wei Yongchang, “Big Brother, don’t worry. I will take good care of Tingting.”

After saying that, she deliberately said to Chu Ting, “After dinner, Mom will take you out to buy as many gowns as you want.”

Chu Ting was delighted. “Thank you, Mommy.”

Then, she glanced at Chu Luo provocatively.

In Chu Luo’s eyes, Chu Ting was just a clown. With a cold glare from Chu Luo, Chu Ting was so frightened that she immediately retracted her gaze. However, in her heart, she was unwilling to give up and started scheming.

After the meal, Chu Ting was brought away by Wei Wei.

Chu Luo said to Chu Zhengyang, “I won’t attend the banquet tomorrow. I don’t want to buy gowns either.”

After saying that, she walked towards her room. After taking two steps, she stopped and said, “I want to read today. Please don’t disturb me.”

Chu Zhengyang watched Chu Luo leave and raised his hand, wanting to stop her. In the end, he sighed and gave up.

He then thought that since Chu Luo was about the same height as Chu Ting, he could just go out and buy a few sets of clothes for her. Thus, he left.

After Chu Luo returned to her room, she drew a paper effigy, transformed it into her appearance, and made it stay in the room to read.

She then quietly got into the car Li Yan had sent to pick her up.
