Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 87: Just Because You're Sick
Chu Luo and Li Yan walked over. After ascending to the top, he thought for a moment and said to Li Yan, “Wait, I will concoct medicine for you.”
With that, he went to his herb room.
By the time he finished concocting the cure for the flu, it was already past midnight.
When he walked out of the room, the corridor was very quiet. Li Yan's room was not tightly closed and light could be seen through the cracks of the door.
Chu Luo walked over with the pill. Just as he reached the door, he heard a cough from inside.
He stood by the door and exclaimed, “Li Yan.”
A low and hoarse voice sounded. “Log.”
Chu Luo pushed the door open and looked at Li Yan in her pajamas, reading a book on the edge of the bed.
At this moment, he had held back his sharpness. He was so handsome to begin with. With her cold eyes that could make people tremble and with her coughing from time to time, she really looked like a sickly good looks.
Chu Luo was about to sigh with emotion.
But Li Yan suddenly looked at him.
Chu Luo immediately stopped praising him in her heart and walked over to hand the pill to him.
“I've concocted this flu remedy for you. I guarantee you'll be fine tomorrow morning.”
Li Yan took the pill and was about to swallow it.
“Hey, wait a minute.”
Chu Luo quickly stopped him. “Didn't you drink your pill with water?”
Li Yan pointed to the hot water bottle beside her. “There is water inside.”
Chu Luo stood there and glared at him.
Li Yan started coughing loudly.
Chu Luo turned around and walked towards the hot water flask. As he walked, he muttered, “Only because you are sick.”
Li Yan listened to her reluctant words and her lips curved up slightly.
When he saw the little one's sad gaze, his mood finally improved.
Chu Luo poured water and walked over to give it to him.
Li Yan lay down after taking her medicine.
Next day.
After Chu Luo got up from the bed, she opened the curtains to take a look. Seeing that the rain had not stopped, he thought that he could not go anywhere in this kind of weather. He decided to just stay at home and play games.
After she had bathed and descended, the first thing Chu Luo saw was not Li Yan sitting there, but a large pile of packages on the sofa in the living room.
Someone said to Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, these are all your packages.”
“Eh?” Chu Luo was slightly surprised. “How did this package arrive so quickly?”
If not mistakenly remembered, many parcels must be sent from other provinces. Orders were made last night, and they actually arrived this morning.
Even though he felt it was strange, he still happily walked over to pick up the package and open it.
It was a garment with excellent workmanship and materials.
As if finding a treasure, Chu Luo took out a bundle of clothes and pants and opened them one by one.
He was very satisfied with the material and workmanship of the contents of each parcel.
Chu Luo could not help but think of buying clothes from that website in the future. A few hundred yuan was enough to buy such fine clothes. He did not need to waste mental energy on this matter anymore.
Li Yan, who was sitting there, looked at the small creature whose lips curved and took the tea beside him to take a sip.
After breakfast, Li Yan left.
Thinking that the clothes he had purchased had not been paid for, Chu Luo took out her phone and tapped on the payment platform for that online shopping site.
However, when he clicked “To Receive,” he blinked a few times.
There's really nothing inside.
“Do I automatically pay for it?”
He clicked the “Have Paid” button and sighed in relief.
However, he was still confused. “I don't set up automatic payment. Why pay automatically? Is this a system bug?”
As he was considering whether to hack the Taobao website logs to see it, an unexpected call came in.
It was from his high school teacher, Old Gao.
Chu Luo picked up the phone and greeted happily, “Teacher Gao.”
Old Gao asked about his recent situation on the phone and said in a carefree tone, “There are still eight days until the results are released. Don't forget to check your results on the 26th at eight in the morning.”
Chu Luo smiled and replied, “I will not forget.”
He believed that even if he did not check it out himself, Old Gao would help him.
Old Gao laughed even harder. “Hahaha... Okay! Alrighty! When you enter the Imperial University, I will book you a star hotel and prepare the Manchu Han Empire Party for one week.”
Chu Luo giggled at his words. After laughing, he said, “I don't need the Manchu Han Kingdom Party. When the time comes, I will be satisfied if Lady Gao will prepare a table full of dishes for me.”
“Good! Goody! Nice!”
Old Gao then asked carefully, Little “Chu Luo, do you live with your parents in the capital?”
When Chu Luo heard this, she knew that her uncle had been looking for Old Gao. After thinking for a while, he said, “No. I live somewhere else.”
Old Gao was silent for a while before saying, “Although I don't know what happened after you went to the capital, I know that you definitely won't stay with just anyone for no reason. If it's not convenient for you to stay in someone else's house, come to Teacher Gao's house. You are welcome to stay at my place anytime.”
Chu Luo did not expect Old Gao to say that. He was touched and nodded before saying, “It is very convenient for me to stay here. Teacher Gao, don't worry.”
“Eh! Fine!” Old Gao remained very confident in him. “I know you have your own difficulties. Think about this matter carefully. As long as you don't regret it in the future, it's okay.”
“Mm.”
The two of them spoke a few more words before hanging up.
Chu Luo looked at her phone and smiled. Since Chu Zhengyang had approached Old Gao, he had to call no matter what. He swiped at the screen and called out to Chu Zhengyang.
The phone rings twice before it is lifted. Chu Zhengyang's tired and courteous voice could be heard.
“Halo.”
“Uncle, it's me.”
“Luoluo!” Chu Zhengyang's voice became excited. “You're finally willing to call Uncle.”
He quickly added, “Luoluo, do you want to go back? Uncle will come and pick you up.”
“No.” Chu Luo asked as Chu Zhengyang sighed in disappointment, “Uncle, have you found the master you said you were trying to find for me?”
Chu Zhengyang suddenly fell silent. As if worried that Chu Luo would find something, she immediately said, “Master is already on its way. Back first. As soon as Master arrives, we will move the Gu worm on your body.”
Chu Luo curled her lips. Previously, he had taught Master Xiang a lesson, so he would definitely not come. The people who raised Gu in Nanjiang all knew each other. If he hadn't guessed wrong, after Master Xiang's painful lesson, the others would have definitely reconsidered.
So the Wei and Chu Zhengyang families had yet to successfully invite Master Gu.
Chu Luo said calmly, “I don't want to go back. As soon as I return, Auntie and Chu Ting will think of a way to hurt me.”
At this point, he deliberately stopped.
Indeed, Chu Zhengyang quickly said, “Luoluo, I apologize on behalf of your aunt and Tingting for what they did to you before, but you are somewhere very dangerous now. The identity of the owner of the residence is unknown. Maybe it..”
“Maybe it's what?” Chu Luo cut him off. “No matter what his identity is, at the very least, I can stay here freely. I can do whatever I want and have whatever I want. I don't have to put up with Aunt's attitude anymore, and I won't be fooled by Chu Ting and my living expenses taken away."
Chu Luo's tone was very calm as she said these words. It was this tone that made Chu Zhengyang unable to retaliate at all.
He was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, “Luoluo, no matter what, we are your only family. Uncle will not hurt you... Are you really not going back?”
“I will do it,” Chu Luo said. “I'll be back in the morning on the 26.”
When Chu Zhengyang heard this, he finally felt relieved. He was about to speak when Chu Luo said, “Uncle, I hung up the phone to play the game.”
Chu Zhengyang once again did not know what to say. He could only say, “Then take good care of yourself. If you want to go back, call Uncle. No matter when, Uncle will come and pick you up.”
Chu Luo hung up the phone after answering.
Chu Zhengyang put down his phone and turned around, only to see Chu Ting standing behind him and looking at him.
Chu Zhengyang was stunned.
“Daddy, with whom are you talking on the phone?”
Chu Ting opened his eyes, which looked extremely large due to his thinness, wide and looked at Chu Zhengyang.
Fearing it would make him uneasy, Chu Zhengyang said, “This client.”
“Dad, you lied!” Chu Ting raised his voice, only to lower his voice in the next second. “You obviously called Chu Luo. Why are you lying to me?”
“I..”
“Daddy, are you afraid I will get restless again when I hear his name?” Chu Ting's lips curved into a satisfied grin. “It is useless even if you call him. This is my uncle's house. Mom says that she won't let him back.”
Chu Zhengyang's face darkened. “Tingting, why do you so dislike Luoluo?”
Clearly, Chu Luo was the one who had always been bullied.
Chu Ting lifted his chin. “Not that I don't like it, it's because I hate it. He's definitely not your son and mother. Why should I share my stuff with him?”
Chu Zhengyang looked at Chu Ting in disbelief. He didn't expect her to have such thoughts.
A wave of anger suddenly appeared in his heart. He walked towards Chu Ting and grabbed his shoulder. “Tingting, Luoluo is your cousin. Why do you have such thoughts?”
“Hmph! So what if he's my cousin? Mother said that because of Chu Luo and her mother, she almost had a miscarriage when she was pregnant with me back then, and it even caused Mother to suffer from depression for a long time, so.”.
Chu Ting looked straight into Chu Zhengyang's eyes and said, “He deserves to die!”
When Chu Zhengyang heard this, his heart felt like it was being crushed by a thousand pounds. It was so painful that he could barely breathe.
There was shock and disbelief in his eyes. In the end, it turned into anger. His face turned pale as he gritted his teeth and roared, “Wei Wei, how dare you teach our daughter like this!”
