Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 24: If I Will Beat You, At Least I Will Wait for Your Legs to Heal
While Chu Luo was taking care of Li Yan's legs, the eldest Wei— family master, Wei Yongchang, the second, Wei Jianze, and the third, Wei Jingcheng— all came to Ocean City.
They sent people to look for Li Yan everywhere.
At ten o'clock in the night, the master of the Wei family followed Chu Zhengyang to the Chu family villa.
“Sister, Second Brother, Third Sister, please sit.”
The three of them had powerful auras and incredible statuses. When Chu Zhengyang invited them, his tone was subconsciously respectful. After the three of them sat down, he quickly asked the servants to serve tea.
Big Brother Wei and Third Brother Wei were sitting on the sofa.
Second Master, Wei Jianze walked to the window and called.
No one knew what the other party was saying, but Wei Jianze's expression turned extremely ugly.
“You've been looking for it for two days, and you're telling me that you still can't find it? We have closed the exit of Ocean City. I can't believe he could disappear into thin air in Ocean City!"
“Search! Continue search. Even if you have to reverse the entire Ocean City, you have to find it.”
He hung up the phone in desperation.
Wei Jingcheng clenched his fists and punched the sofa. He said loudly, “We can't let him leave Ocean City. I heard that he did not bring many people with him this time. If he returns to the capital, our Wei family will be in a passive position…"
“Second Brother, make your men work harder. I can't believe that Li Yan can disappear into thin air in Ocean City."
Wei Jianze nodded and looked at Wei Yongchang. “Sister, what should we do next?”
The others looked at him too.
Wei Yongchang pondered for a moment then said, “Let's send Guangnian and Tingting to the capital first. Since Guangnian's leg can only be amputated, we'll find him the best prosthetic leg. As for Tingting, let Master see it when we get there.”
The Wei Family was a prestigious family, and they knew Chu Ting's condition better than anyone. It was clear that Chu Ting was not sick. If they wanted to take care of him, they would have to look for experts in that field.
Everyone agreed with Wei Yongchang.
Chu Zhiyang finally had a chance to speak. She said, “Then I will ask Xiao Wei to bring Tingting back to pack her luggage.”
Wei Jingcheng had always felt that this brother-in-law was a lucky new rich person, so he always spoke to her in a slightly arrogant tone.
“What to pack? Tingting's mood was extremely unstable. We told her to leave as soon as she was done with the infusion in the hospital. Is there something he needs that the Wei residence does not have?”
“Ya yes.” Although Chu Zhiyang was unhappy with Wei Jingcheng's attitude towards him, he had to rely on the Wei family and could only agree obediently.
After that, they talked about something else.
“Since Li Yan came to Ocean City to get that jade pendant, it proved that it was real. We should get the jade pendant before anyone else does anything. Sister-in-law, you should know what use that jade pendant is.”
Chu Zhiyang felt a chill on his back when he heard this. He tried asking, “Sister, Second Brother, Third Sister, do you want ..”
“That's right! Eighteen years ago, Brother-in-law, you became rich after using a bit of stuff in it. If we can extract all the wealth in it, no one can match the chips we have.”
“But... but.. but there's a curse on that tomb. Those who enter will never be able to exit again.”
“Can't get out? If that's the case, how can you get a handful of those treasures?”
“My sister gave her life ..”
“Alright, stop talking!” Wei Jianze cut him off. “I know that your elder brother told you a lot about the Imperial Mausoleum. When the time comes, after we get that piece of jade, you just need to lead.”
Chu Zhiyang's body was limp and his face paled in fear.
He suddenly shook his head. “Can't go... We won't be able to go back if we go!”
Wei Jingcheng narrowed his eyes. “Do you curse us?”
“No, no, I—”
“That's him. You can get ready now.”
Wei Yongchang had made his decision. He stood up and walked towards the bedroom.
Once there was no one else in the living room, Chu Zhiyang covered his face with both hands. His entire body was covered in pain and fear.
He sat like that for a long time, until the clock in the living room chimed with a midnight voice. Then, as if he had woken up, he suddenly sat up straight.
At this moment, his mind was inexplicably recalling the call that homeroom teacher Chu Luo had given him today. He pulled out his phone and dialed the number.
He did not care if he was bothering the other party. As soon as the other party picked up the phone, he immediately said, “What happened to Luoluo today?… Good thing she's okay. Tomorrow, I will transfer some living expenses to him .. I will transfer 5.. 20,000 yuan from my personal account. You don't need to tell the Madam about this.”
With that, he hung up the phone and sat down for a while before returning to his room to rest.
...----------------...
The next morning, when Chu Luo opened the room door, she saw Li Yan already sitting on the sofa, typing furiously on her keyboard.
If he hadn't changed his clothes, he would have thought that he hadn't slept at all last night.
He thought for a moment and decided to memorize English words while jogging. He then walked towards the door.
However, Li Yan's indifferent voice came from behind him. “Do your memorization here.”
Chu Luo stopped in surprise and turned to look at him.
Li Yan did not look up. Her voice was cold as usual. “Many of your pronunciations are not standard. It will pollute the ears of others outside.”
“…”
Chu Luo puffed her cheeks and could not help it anymore. He turned around and walked towards her, looking at her with big eyes. He was considering whether to beat her up or throw her away.
Li Yan finally stopped what she was doing and raised her dark eyes to look at her.
Chu Luo's hair was tied up because she was about to run away. Her small oval face was paired with a tall ponytail, and her large eyes sparkled with her anger. Even conical tightly, the beauty of her lips that rivaled the petals of flowers was not hidden.
He is charming and full of energy.
Li Yan looked at him and suddenly narrowed her eyes. He lowered his voice and said, “Save your thoughts to yourself. I can teach you English pronunciation.”
Chu Luo was still glaring at him. He clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth.
Li Yan watched his expression and continued, “You better think carefully before acting. If I get hurt, I might not be able to leave. Then you still have to see me tomorrow.”
Chu Luo suddenly loosened her fists and nodded in agreement. “You're right. If I want to beat you up, at least I have to wait until your legs recover.”
He didn't want to see this cold face again tomorrow.
With that, he sat down on the sofa next to Li Yan and started reading.
After reading for a while, he saw no answer beside him. He tilted his head and looked at her furiously. “Do you not want to teach me English pronunciation?”
The person beside him frowned and pointed at some point in his book. “This pronunciation is inaccurate.”
Then, he repeated those words.
Chu Luo listened to her English pronunciation and thought, ‘Although this person is a bit evil, she speaks English quite well.’
The next half hour passed quickly with one teaching and one learning.
At this moment, Li Yan stopped and said, “You can run now.”
Chu Luo nodded at him, then reluctantly kept her book and walked out of the door.
As Chu Luo left, Qin Ming entered and reported to her.
“Master, those people have been coaxed elsewhere to deal with. Several more groups of people came to Ocean City. Their goal was that jade pendant. The Wei family has put up an inescapable net in Ocean City to catch you.”
“Hmph.” Li Yan's expression was cold. He pulled over his laptop and typed on the keyboard for a while before saying, “Let the news that I will be visiting Master Huiqing at Hanqing Temple tomorrow morning.”
“Ya.”
