Wei Xueying thought that Chu Luo was being embarrassed, so she did not continue. Instead, he asked, “Do you want me to drive you there?”
Chu Luo shook her head. “Not needed. I'll just walk.”
So, Wei Xueying left.
As Chu Luo watched the red sports car leave, she suddenly recalled that Cui Xudong had mentioned that she was aware of some Chu family secrets. His lips curled involuntarily.
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'd be worried.”
Chu Luo looked at the worried Chu Zhengyang and did not feel any emotions.
He knew that the person standing in front of him was suddenly so worried about him because of his guilt. If she were to choose between him and Chu Ting again, she would still choose Chu Ting in the end.
He didn't answer. Instead, he asked, “Is the Master here?”
Chu Zhengyang's expression froze for a moment. The next second, he said to her in a calming tone, “He is on his way. Don't worry, the Gu worm on your body will be moved in two days.”
“Is that so?”
Chu Luo knew that the so-called Master Xiang could not wait to never appear in front of her again. How could he possibly come again?
Thus, Chu Zhengyang lied to him.
Chu Zhengyang obviously did not want Chu Luo to ask more questions, so he changed the subject and asked, “Evening will begin soon. Where do you want to eat?”
Chu Luo looked at him. “Do you think I'm looking to meet someone else right now?”
Guilt flashed across Chu Zhengyang's face again. He said, “Then I will ask the waiter to send you your food.”
With that, he left.
Wei's residence is obviously very crowded tonight. After dinner, the servants came in and out. Even the servants in the backyard were busy.
Chu Luo's bedroom window faced the garden in the back. As soon as the window opened, he could hear their conversation.
“Young Master is finally engaged to Miss Bai. Miss Bai is the Bai family's only daughter. After Young Master is engaged to Miss Bai, the status of the Wei family in the capital will become higher.”
“I heard that Miss Bai is after Young Master. Indeed, our Young Master is more charming.”
“That's for sure. Our Young Master is mature, stable, and handsome. He was one of the top ten golden bachelors in the Imperial Capital. Just watch. When the time comes, many young women will definitely be sad.”
“Hehe, Young Master and Miss Bai are engaged. Everyone from the capital's upper-class society will definitely come. Do you think someone will try to snatch the bride?”
“You think too much. With Miss Bai's anger, who would dare to seize her?”
When Chu Luo heard this, she closed the window and pulled the curtain.
The next morning, the Wei residence came to life.
Chu Luo had just walked into the backyard when she saw the gardener planting a kind of rose onto the flowerbed.
The rose petals were beautifully layered.
Coincidentally, two gardeners exclaimed: “The Wei family is very generous. Juliet Rose is very expensive, but they actually grafted 999 roses at once.”
“What to surprise? The Wei family was a prestigious family. How could they be short of this much money?”
“It's true.”
Only then did Chu Luo learn that these roses were called Juliet Roses. However, he had no interest in these flowers and plants, so he left.
When Chu Luo arrived at the hall in front, everyone from the Wei family was there. Even Chu Ting was sitting there.
There was excitement on everyone's faces, especially on the faces of the mistresses. They chatted cheerfully, looking like they were excited. Even Wei Wei was chatting with them with a smile.
The youngsters surrounded Wei Zihan and chatted cheerfully.
Chu Zhengyang was the first to see Chu Luo. He walked to talk to her. “Luoluo, how did you sleep last night?”
Chu Luo did not answer him.
At this time, Wei Yongchang said, “Because everyone is here, let's eat.”
The butler immediately instructed the servants to serve breakfast.
Everyone approached a long table that could accommodate more than ten people and sat down.
Wei Wei ignored Chu Luo.
Chu Ting still did not know that Wei Yongchang wanted to invite Master Xiang back for Chu Luo. Ever since Chu Luo appeared, she had been looking at him with an arrogant and evil gaze.
After breakfast was served, Wei Yongchang spoke first.
“Tomorrow night is the engagement day of Zihan and Qianyue. Everyone has to attend. Also, those who do not have an evening dress can go and make it custom-made today.”
The children of the Wei family immediately agreed to make their dresses as ordered after dinner. They will also do their hair and go to the spa.
Wei Yongchang waited for them to finish speaking before he suddenly turned to Chu Zhengyang and said, “Ask Luoluo to buy some dresses later.”
Before Chu Zhengyang could say anything, the frail Chu Ting suddenly said to Wei Yongchang in a persuading tone, “ Eldest Uncle, you are biased. Why did you buy clothes only for Chu Luo and not for me?"
Wei Yongchang glanced at him and said, “You better not be present because you are so weak.”
“Cannot be! How could I not attend the engagement of Eldest Cousin? After all, tomorrow night is the big day of Eldest Cousin. I couldn't be happier. How can I be restless?”
Wei Yongchang thought for a moment and said to Wei Wei, “Since Tingting insists on participating, take good care of him tomorrow night.”
In fact, Wei Wei did not really want Chu Ting to attend this engagement party. In any case, the Master had said that the core had been hurt and the emotional upheaval would be difficult for him to recover. Most importantly, she did not want Chu Ting to know that they were removing the Gu worm from Chu Luo's body.
However, he thought about how such an important event would happen tomorrow night. All the young masters and young mistresses from 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, “Kakak, she said, don'worry. I'll take good care of Tingting.”
After saying that, she deliberately said to Chu Ting, “After dinner, Mother will take you out to buy as many dresses as you want.”
Chu Ting was very pleased. “Thank you, Ma.”
Then, he glanced at Chu Luo provocatively.
In Chu Luo's eyes, Chu Ting was merely a clown. With a cold gaze from Chu Luo, Chu Ting was so frightened that he immediately retracted his gaze. However, in his heart, he was unwilling to give up and began to plan.
After eating, Chu Ting was taken away by Wei Wei.
Chu Luo said to Chu Zhengyang, “I will not attend the banquet tomorrow. I also don't want to buy a dress.”
After saying that, he walked towards his room. After taking two steps, he stopped and said, “I want to read today. Please don't bother me.”
Chu Zhengyang watched Chu Luo leave and raised his hand, wanting to stop her. In the end, he sighed and gave up.
She then thought that since Chu Luo was about the same height as Chu Ting, she could go out and buy some sets of clothes for him. Thus, he left.
After Chu Luo returned to her room, she drew a paper sculpture, turned it into her appearance, and kept her in the room to read.
He then quietly got into the car that Li Yan had sent to pick him up.
