The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After dinner, Chu Zhengyang took a call and went to the study.

Wei Wei said to the two sisters, “Every second before the exam is very important. Don’t think about playing for the next three days. You’ve got to stay at home and study.”

Chu Ting immediately replied, “Alright, Mommy, I will go and read now.”

With that, she walked upstairs.

Chu Luo also turned to head upstairs.

“Luoluo.” Wei Wei stopped her and asked in a strange tone, “I heard from Tingting that you ranked second in the level for your last monthly examination. Is that right?”

Chu Luo stopped and nodded at her. “Yes.”

“Hmph!” Wei Wei’s expression instantly became stern. “Let me tell you, our Chu family is open and aboveboard. If you dare to ruin our Chu family’s reputation, I’ll beat you to death, you wretched girl.”

Chu Luo narrowed her eyes and asked, “How do you think I will ruin the Chu family’s reputation, Mommy?”

Wei Wei raised her voice in displeasure. “Don’t play dumb with me. Chu Luo, it’s fine if you don’t listen to me and do all those unsavory things outside, but if you use some evil tricks during the exam, I…”

“Mom.” Chu Luo’s voice was slightly deep, and her body unconsciously exuded a fierce aura.

Wei Wei’s mouth was agape. She was actually rendered speechless by Chu Luo’s aura.

Chu Luo said, “You’re my mother. I won’t mind your previous actions, but…

“Most of the time, I wonder if you are really my mother. It’s fine if you don’t care about me, but every time, you blame me. Is it because of Chu Ting’s one-sided words?”

At this point, the corner of Chu Luo’s lips curled up into a mocking smile. “Previously, I might have been too stupid to see through it. Every time Chu Ting framed me, it wasn’t without loopholes. As someone from a wealthy clan, you should be someone capable of critical thinking. How could you not see through her little tricks? I think… every time, you are always just pretending to be ignorant.”

When Wei Wei heard this, the anger on her face finally turned into surprise. After the surprise, it turned into an even deeper fury.

“You wretched girl, you even dare to suspect your mother. I raised you for more than ten years, but I didn’t expect to have raised an ingrate.”

Wei Wei was furious. She raised her hand to slap Chu Luo.

Chu Luo looked at Wei Wei’s palm and flicked her finger. Wei Wei felt a numbing sensation on her wrist and instantly lost her strength.

Wei Wei pointed at Chu Luo and widened her eyes in disbelief. “You… you…”

Chu Luo took a step back, looked into her eyes, and said, “If you don’t like me, I’ll leave after the exam, but… I don’t accept insults and beatings.”

After saying that, she turned and walked upstairs.

Wei Wei glared at Chu Luo’s back, feeling so mad that her chest heaved up and down. It took her a long time to speak.

She pointed at Chu Luo’s back and looked as if she wanted to eat her up. “Wretched girl, you are really crazy. How dare you talk to me like this. If you’re that capable, get out immediately.”

Chu Luo stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Wei Wei with a stern expression. She frowned.

At that moment, Chu Zhengyang appeared on the third floor. He told Wei Wei, “Come to the study room. I have something to discuss with you.”

Only then did Wei Wei suppress the anger in her heart and walk upstairs. As she passed by Chu Luo, she said in a low voice, “You better tighten your skin.”

Chu Luo pursed her lips and looked at her. After Wei Wei went upstairs, Chu Luo lowered her eyes and walked upstairs as well.

Just as she reached the bedroom door, she heard Chu Ting’s gloating voice from behind her. “Chu Luo, you have quite the guts to talk back to Mom. Just wait for Mom to teach you a lesson.”

Chu Luo gazed at her with those cold eyes.

That gaze filled Chu Ting’s heart with fear. She glared ferociously at Chu Luo before turning around to return to her own bedroom.

Chu Luo returned to her bedroom and walked to the window, then said to Phoenix in a low voice, “Phoenix, listen to what they are saying.”

“Yes, Master.”

A red light flashed from Chu Luo’s wrist. Then, Chu Luo heard the conversation upstairs.

Chu Zhengyang said, “The child is grown up now. Don’t scold and beat her for no reason.”

Wei Wei’s tone was unfriendly. “Hmph, I’ve already done my duty by raising her until she’s 18. You still want me to treat her nicely? Chu Zhengyang, let me tell you, no way!”

Chu Zhengyang sounded troubled. “But, she’s our…”

Wei Wei’s voice suddenly became sharp. “Chu Zhengyang, how dare you even bring this up!”

Speaking up to this point, she suddenly started crying bitterly. “Back then, it was because of her that my Tingting almost died. All these years, whenever I think of that scene, my heart feels like it is being stabbed by a knife. How can I possibly treat her well?”

“That matter wasn’t Luoluo’s fault.”

“So you’re saying it was my fault?!”

Wei Wei started sobbing again.

Chu Zhengyang suddenly fell silent.

When Chu Luo heard this, she didn’t continue listening. She walked to the desk and sat down but didn’t immediately take out a book to study. Instead, she was in a daze.

“What exactly happened when this body was born? Why did her mother hate her so much? Could it be because she almost caused Chu Ting to die? Why did Chu Ting almost die?”

Thinking about it more deeply, she found that it wasn’t reasonable at all.

Chu Luo tapped her fingers on the desk casually. “Looks like we have to find out the truth of what happened back then.”

But in any case, Chu Luo wasn’t in a hurry. Right now, her mind was focused on the college entrance examination.

She studied until midnight. Chu Luo had just washed up and changed into her pajamas when she felt a different aura outside the villa.

The Phoenix Seal on her wrist glowed red at the same time, and Phoenix’s excited voice rang out in her mind. “Master, Master, there is an aura fluctuation not far from here that can help me regain my powers.”

Chu Luo nodded, changed her clothes, opened the window, and jumped out.

The aura was a few kilometers away from the villa, on the back street of a seven-star hotel.

When Chu Luo got there, she saw a middle-aged man standing in the dark, controlling the puppet doll in his hand to open a back door.

Seeing as this person was entering via the back door and had a wretched appearance, it was obvious that he wanted to harm someone.

Chu Luo stared at the puppet doll floating around him and rubbed her chin with interest. “I wonder if the people using this kind of sorcery here are powerful or not. Phoenix, why don’t you wait for a while? We’ll go take a look.”

Then she started following the man.

That person controlled the puppet doll to act as a cover as he walked into the back kitchen. The restaurant was very big, and that person specifically walked to places where no one was around. After turning left and right a few times, he finally walked towards the escape stairs.

Chu Luo let Phoenix feel which floor the middle-aged man went to before she slowly climbed up.

Five minutes later, Phoenix told her, “Master, that person went to the 28th floor.”

Only then did Chu Luo speed up. When she reached the 28th floor and was yet to open the door to enter, the sharp killing intent that assaulted her made her pause.

She asked Phoenix, “Who’s on this floor?”

Phoenix: “They are all bodyguards with strong combat power. Also…”

Before Phoenix could finish her sentence, the door was knocked open by someone flying towards her.

Chu Luo quickly retreated to the side so that she wouldn’t get hit.

Looking at the man in the black suit who had fainted after vomiting blood due to being poisoned, Chu Luo exclaimed, “Why are this man’s clothes and aura so familiar?”
