When Chu Zhengyang called Wei Wei to have Chu Ting return and change his clothes for the banquet, Chu Ting was sitting on the bed with a blank expression.
After much persuasion from Wei Wei, Chu Ting reluctantly agreed.
He left the hospital alone and walked towards the parking lot. As he walked, he sent a message to someone and did not realize that someone was standing in front of him.
Just as he was about to crash into it, the guy suddenly reminded him kindly, “Little girl, don't play around with your phone while you're walking. It's very dangerous.”
Surprised, Chu Ting hurriedly looked up.
The person in front of him was a middle-aged man in a sea-blue robe. It was night time, yet the middle-aged man was still wearing sunglasses. He also held two beads in his hand.
Chu Ting looked at her as if he was crazy and decided to walk around her.
The middle-aged man looked at Chu Ting with a deep gaze and said, Little girl, are you unable to speak? Even the doctors don't know why you can't talk, right?”
Chu Ting suddenly stopped and looked at the middle-aged man.
Seeing his reaction, the middle-aged man suddenly laughed. “I have a way to make you regain your ability to speak. If you don't believe me, then continue walking.”
Surprise flashed across Chu Ting's eyes and he quickly typed a message on his phone to show the middle-aged man: “What can you do? As long as you can make me talk, you can ask for as much money as you want.”
The middle-aged man twisted the beads in his hand and, with the attitude of a master, said, “Money is just an earthly possession. I don't need the money. You only have to agree to one condition.”
Chu Ting was not stupid and immediately looked at her warily.
The middle-aged man actually revealed an expression of admiration. “Little girl, you suspected me. It proves that you are very smart. I'm an expert who specializes in Gu's poison research. I want to find someone to experiment with. I just want you to recommend someone to me, someone who won't make me trouble after being the subject of my experiment.”
Chu Luo's face appeared in Chu Ting's mind.
He quickly type: “What experiment do you want to do?”
The middle-aged man said, “Use poison Gu to control someone.”
A glint flashed across Chu Ting's eyes. He thought, if this person could control Chu Luo, he would definitely make Chu Luo suffer a fate worse than death.
He continued typing with his head down. “Let me do the talking first.”
The middle-aged man quickly tapped on his acupoints.
“Alright, you can talk now.”
“You..”.
As Chu Ting let out a voice, he was so excited that he almost jumped up and down. His gaze towards the middle-aged man was no longer guarded.
“How will you use poison Gu to control Chu Luo?”
The middle-aged man looked unfathomable. “Small girl, where are you going?”
“I rushed back to attend a dinner party with my father and others.”
“Perfect. You can take that guy there. We'll exchange phone numbers and I'll send you a message when the time comes. You just need to trick him into coming out and then hand him over to me.”
“You will take Chu Luo away?”
“No. I'll just observe it secretly.”
Chu Ting nodded in satisfaction. He had yet to take revenge on Chu Luo. If Chu Luo was taken away by this person, Chu Ting would definitely be displeased.
Both recorded their phone numbers. Just as Chu Ting was about to leave, the middle-aged man suddenly grabbed his wrist before quickly letting go, “Little girl, don't tell anyone about this.”
“Understanding.”
...----------------...
Chu Residence.
Chu Luo had just finished refining the comprehensive examination paper when there was a knock on the door.
Thinking that it was a servant, he got up to open the door.
“How do you know!”
“Because ..” Chu Luo suddenly took a step towards Chu Ting. With a single glance, he could tell that Chu Ting was under the influence of Gu's poison. With a flashing glint in her eyes, she said, “I guess.”
“You ..” Chu Ting originally wanted to flare up, but after thinking about what he would do tonight, he immediately revealed a meaningful smile and said in a kind tone, “Beach changing your clothes. Father and Second Uncle took us to Zhang's residence for a banquet.”
Without giving Chu Luo a chance to reply, she turned around and left.
Chu Luo looked outside the door, trying to guess who used Gu's poison on Chu Ting and what their motives were.
But when he thought of the existence of poison Gu in this world, he felt an inexplicable excitement.
Most importantly, he could catch a glimpse that the person who threw the poison Gu was only average. His current ability was enough to deal with that person.
He suddenly thought of how to earn money.
Chu Luo went to the closet to look at it and realized that Chu Luo's true taste was very bad. The dresses are flashy or ill-fitting.
In the end, she simply chose jeans and a white t-shirt.
He then used a hairpin to hold his long straight hair.
Staring at the person in the mirror, Chu Luo still felt disgusted. “You have a good foundation, but you make yourself look malnourished. How ugly.”
After saying that, he put away his thick bangs and saw a long scar on his forehead. He thought for a moment about which medicinal herb he needed to remove this scar, and he became even more determined to earn money.
As he walked down the stairs, the three people downstairs frowned at the sight of his clothes.
Chu Ting was the first to mock, “We attended the banquet, but you are actually dressed like this!”
Chu Zhengyang wore a fierce expression. “Go change immediately. Look brother. Can't you learn from his example?”
Chu Ting had put on an extremely beautiful makeup and pink ruffle dress. The tip of the dress was right above her knees, and it not only showed off her long legs and her nice figure, but also made her look very elegant.
Chu Luo lowered her gaze and said, “My dress is too big for me.”
It was then that Chu Zhengyang realized that although Chu Luo would be 18 years old, she looked like she was only 14 or 15 years old. A trace of guilt flashed across his heart for no reason, and he did not continue talking about his clothes. Instead, he instructed, “Do not run around when you go to Zhang's residence, and do not touch anything.”
“Understanding, Father.”
The four of them then headed to Zhang's residence by car.
Zhang's family lived in another villa district. Due to the accumulation of wealth from several generations, they had a high social status in Ocean City, and their villas were huge.
Tonight was the birthday of Boss Zhang's eldest son. Almost all of the upper-class circles of Ocean City had come.
As Wei Jianze said, everyone who came to attend the birthday party today brought their relatives' children or children.
When the Chu family car stopped outside the Zhang family villa, everyone only stopped to catch a glimpse before continuing on. However, when Wei Jianze got down from the car, everyone looked surprised.
Boss Zhang even brought his two sons over to greet them personally.
At the same time, he extended his hand to Wei Jianze enthusiastically. “I didn't expect Mr. Wei to attend my son's birthday party. Your presence brings light to my humble abode!”
Wei Jianze shook hands with him and immediately said in an official tone, “I happen to be in Ocean City. I heard that Boss Zhang's family is having a birthday party, so I ventured to come over. I hope Boss Zhang doesn't mind.”
“Of course not, we welcome you.”
After Boss Zhang finished speaking, he quickly introduced his two sons to him. “This is my eldest son, Zhang Tianxiang. This is my youngest son, Zhang Tianyi.”
Wei Jianze smiled and said, “Indeed, tiger father will not give birth to puppies.”
“Haha... Mr. Wei, Boss Chu, and your two daughters, please enter.”
Boss Zhang let his two sons continue to serve guests while he personally led the four of them in.
Chu Luo followed behind them. At this moment, an arm suddenly stretched out to block him.
At the same time, he heard a low voice filled with displeasure and threats. “Chu Luo, I warned you. Stay away from me tonight. Also... if you dare to tell others about your confession to me at school yesterday, I will definitely teach you a lesson.”
