Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 134: Bring Mr. Li Down
Before he knew it, it was already lunchtime.
Secretary Tan knocked on the door and entered. “Master, Miss Chu, lunch is ready.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she immediately sat up straight.
Li Yan looked up. “Bring in.”
Secretary Tan led someone in chef uniform pushing a food cart from outside the door to the sofa area. After the two of them brought the dishes to the coffee table, they came out.
Chu Luo looked at the delicious-looking food and immediately put down the tablet in her hand.
Li Yan walked to the wall and pressed a button before walking over to sit on the chair beside her.
Chu Luo gave him a pair of chopsticks and took out a piece of food to eat. Eyes lit. “I think the imperial cuisine cooked by your chef here will definitely be average. I didn't expect it to be so delicious.”
Li Yan glanced at him and said, “You can come to eat in the future.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she bit her chopsticks and looked at him.
“What?”
“I live very far from here. Am I really going to come all the way here just to eat?”
“…”
After they ate, Chu Luo received a call from Tang Zhiyun.
After the boys woke up, they went to his place to play games. Seeing that he had not returned, they were a little worried.
Chu Luo said to them, “I have something today. I'll be back late tonight, so don't worry.”
Tang Zhiyun and the others guessed that Chu Luo was with her elder brother, so they did not ask anything else.
In the afternoon, Li Yan continued to work while Chu Luo watched the interstellar materials and videos.
When it was almost four o'clock, Secretary Tan sent a dress.
Li Yan pointed to the waiting room. “You can go inside to change clothes.”
Chu Luo picked up the gift box and walked in.
When he closed the door, Secretary Tan said to Li Yan, “Master, I'm ready.”
Li Yan nodded and walked over to call Qin Ming.
Qin Ming reported to him, “Master, everything is ready here.”
Li Yan hung up the phone and Secretary Tan left.
The evening gown that Secretary Tan had prepared for Chu Luo had the bottom of the skirt widened and the waist circumference fitting. There was also a gauze sleeve on his shoulder. It looked pretty good and was something he could accept to wear.
Chu Luo put on a matching high-heeled dress and shoes, then put on some jewelry and walked out.
Li Yan had already changed clothes and was waiting there.
When Chu Luo came out, she measured it. There was satisfaction in his eyes.
Chu Luo walked over and asked, “Are we going now?”
“No need to rush. You can eat something to fill your stomach first.”
Recalling that there would be an ambush tonight, Chu Luo nodded in agreement.
Both of them walked out of the office.
“Where will we eat?”
“Restaurant under.”
Blazing Glory Corporation's restaurant was no less than a seven-star restaurant.
It's not dinner yet. When the two of them entered, the head chef personally brought them to the dining table and sat down, then handed the menu to them.
Chu Luo looked at the plate and said, “You will definitely drink wine when you leave tonight. Then order some of these dishes.” With that, he ordered the dishes and handed the menu to the head chef.
After the chef left, Chu Luo said to Li Yan, “I don't have any ingredients for me. Otherwise, I will make drunk medicine for you.”
At this point, he suddenly recalled that there were apothecaries everywhere. He smiled and said, “Let's buy medicine on the way. I'll concoct a hangover cure for you.”
“Good.”
...----------------...
Earl Clay's house is located in the western suburbs of XX City. Since he had a noble title, he lived in an ancient castle. The castle is big and big. Not only does it have a sense of age, but it is also a status symbol.
Li Yan was definitely not the only person invited to Earl Clay's family banquet.
When their car arrived at the entrance of the Earl's castle, there were already many luxury cars parked there.
Li Yan did not ask the driver to immediately open the door but instead told Chu Luo, “In addition to people from the business world, there are also some nobles close to her attending this dinner banquet. When the time comes, I will be invited to talk to them alone. If someone invites you to go, you can go with them. I've arranged for someone to protect you. No one can hurt you.”
Chu Luo originally wanted to say that even if no one were to protect her, no one would be able to hurt her. However, after thinking for a while, he simply took out a talisman and handed it to her.
“Bring this talisman with you. If you face any danger, I will come and save you.”
Li Yan looked at the talisman in her hand with an unexpected look.
Chu Luo smiled at him. “Maybe there is something nonhuman in this Earl family that you cannot finish.”
There was actually an automatic detection device next to the door of the Earl's house that scanned for dangerous items.
A bodyguard pushed Li Yan's wheelchair and Chu Luo followed beside him. They walked under the escort of a group of bodyguards.
The guards near the door politely gestured for them to enter. “Honored guests, please walk through the dangerous goods detector.”
Chu Luo glanced. There is a platform about five to six centimeters below the device. Someone has to stand on it.
At this time, a bodyguard asked bluntly, “Do you think it is convenient for you to walk there?”
Unexpectedly, they had made arrangements. The guard walked over and pressed a button, and the platform went down.
“Master Li, please.”
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan simply nodded at the bodyguards behind him before they pushed him.
Li Yan's wheelchair was special and his detector could not detect anything.
Chu Luo saw that the guard who brought them here had stuck the communicator in his ear and said to Li Yan in an apologetic tone, “Master Li, our machine has just suffered a slight malfunction. Please let us check your wheelchair again.”
A cold aura emanated from Li Yan.
The guard was so shocked by his aura that he immediately placed his hand on his waist and subconsciously took a step back.
Li Yan said coldly, “Since Earl Clay has no intention of inviting me to the banquet, why should I enter?”
The guard did not expect Li Yan to say he would return. He was surprised and quickly said, “Master Li, don't get me wrong. It's just a mistake on our side. I will report this matter to Earl.” soon
The guard quickly ran to call.
Chu Luo looked at the other guards who were staring at them and asked, “What did you do to this Earl family before? Why is he so wary of you .. Is it because of Arlan? I have a hunch that after we enter, the most you can do is bring the bodyguard to push your wheelchair into the banquet hall.”
Li Yan snorted in disdain.
The guard quickly walked out and said to Li Yan at once, “Master Li, Young Master is personally on his way to greet you. Please wait a minute.”
Chu Luo murmured, “It looks like this Earl will actually knock you down before you enter.”
In the car, Chu Luo had investigated the rumors about the Earl family and knew that her eldest son was the least loved in the family.
The Earl's eldest son was named Ian. He is 32 years old this year and has a rough appearance and figure. He looks a little woody.
As Ian walked out, he kept apologizing to Li Yan and wanted to bring them in.
The guards received the Earl's signal and did not dare to let them in. He quickly said to Ian, “Young Master, Mr. Li's wheelchair hasn't been checked.”
When Ian heard this, he stopped and looked at Li Yan's wheelchair. “Master Li, if you don't mind, may I check your wheelchair personally?”
Chu Luo thought that Li Yan would not agree, but she agreed. “Sure.”
Ian immediately retrieved the instrument from the guard and carefully inspected Li Yan's wheelchair under everyone's supervision.
The detector makes no sound. Ian handed it to the guard.
The guard said nothing more and retreated to the side.
The group walked through the gate that was like a city wall. There was a large courtyard inside, and there were many guards standing inside.
After Ian brought the group in, he said to Li Yan, “Master Li, there are many guests in my house tonight. All guest guards are arranged uniformly. Please don't mind it.”
Li Yan nodded.
A guard came to take Li Yan's bodyguard away.
As Chu Luo expected, in the end, they left Li Yan with only one bodyguard to push his wheelchair.
Under Ian's lead, the three of them continued forward. They walk past the beautifully carved Roman columns and huge fountains with human statues. What appeared in front of them was a beautiful living room.
At this moment, the door of the living room was wide open. People in fancy clothes walk inside, chat gently or dance to cheerful jazz music.
The sound of a wheelchair rolling on the ground passed through the living room. Those closer to the hall door turned to look when they heard this.
When they saw who it was, many people were shocked.
“Hasn't the CEO of Blazing Glory Corporation never received an invitation from anyone in the past? Why is he here tonight?”
“That means Earl Clay is highly valued.”
“That may not happen. Haven't you heard what happened at the Atlantis family banquet?”
“What is it? Tell me quickly.”
The man lowered his voice. “Previously, at the Lord Atlantis family party, didn't they ask all the girls to wear masks? I heard that Lausanne's daughter, Adeline, wanted to seduce CEO Li, but CEO Li directly forced her to take the medicine and threw it into the hall for everyone to see.”
“This... Li Yan is too cruel. Who doesn't know that Adeline is Prince Arlan's precious cousin?”
“That's why I heard that Prince Arlan was so angry that night. Not only did he send people to stop Li Yan halfway, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the share price of his company in the US. However.. he is still a step behind.”
Those who heard the rumors instantly understood.
When the bodyguards pushed Li Yan into the hall, everyone subconsciously gave way for him.
Li Yan ignored the whispers around him and maintained his cold expression.
Just as he was about to approach Earl Clay, who was talking to some nobles in the hall, before Earl Clay could speak, Arlan's eccentric voice sounded. “CEO Li, you're really great, huh? My family invited you to a banquet, but you actually came late.”
