When Chu Luo heard Anya say that, she planned to take out a set of cosmetics from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch. However, just as she reached her hand in, she suddenly decided to play a prank on her and only gave it to her after she went to the villa.
She said seriously, “The cosmetics are placed in the villa in front.”
Anya had no idea what evil tricks Chu Luo had up her sleeve, so she followed her to the villa in front.
At this moment, Li Yan’s third aunt and the two women were already waiting there.
Li Yan’s third aunt was a middle-aged beauty who looked to be in her forties. She was wearing a dark blue cheongsam and had a dignified woman’s hairstyle. She also had a string of Buddha beads in her hand. As she sat there, she looked like a female Bodhisattva.
The young woman was also sitting primly beside her. She was wearing a pure white dress, and her hair was draped over her shoulders. She looked delicate and frail, invoking pity in those who saw her.
Only Auntie Zhang, who was standing behind her, had a straight face. She looked like someone who was owed money and was here to collect it.
Anya didn’t look into the living room. As soon as she reached the door, she asked Chu Luo anxiously, “Chu, where are the cosmetics?”
Along the way, she passed many bodyguards and many servants standing by the door. Anya felt that everyone was looking at her and mocking her. This made her so ashamed that she almost exploded on the spot.
To think that she, a princess, would be laughed at by so many people. She simply couldn’t tolerate it.
Chu Luo glanced at the three people in the living room who were looking at them.
Instead of answering her, she asked the butler behind her, “Butler, where’s my backpack?”
The butler said, “Miss Chu, I’ve helped you keep it in the living room.”
Chu Luo then replied to Anya, “The things are in my backpack.”
“Where’s your backpack?”
“On the sofa.”
Hearing this, Anya didn’t care if she was rude or not and walked into the living room immediately.
However, when she reached the front, she saw the two women sitting on the sofa.
“Chu, who are they?” Anya had already lost her face in front of Chu Luo and the others, but that didn’t mean she didn’t care about her face in front of outsiders. When faced with the three pairs of eyes sizing her up, she immediately acted like a princess.
“Why didn’t you say earlier that there are guests at your house?”
Auntie Zhang’s sharp voice sounded at the same time. “Which eye of yours saw that we’re guests?”
Chu Luo said, “I don’t know them.”
Anya frowned. “Since you don’t know them, why would that old woman, who doesn’t look like a good person, talk to me like that?”
“You…” Auntie Zhang was furious and was about to speak.
Suddenly, a few cold gazes swept across her. She shivered and shrunk her neck, immediately turning into a quail.
Chu Luo walked in and glanced at Third Madam Li and the woman. She went straight to the point, “What? Are you guys here to ask for compensation or to ask me to find a doctor to treat her?”
Third Madam Li had been observing Li Yan’s expression. From the moment Li Yan entered, she knew that the woman standing in front of her wasn’t someone she could touch.
She immediately revealed a kind smile. “No, I just heard that Xiao Yan is back and came to see him.”
“Oh?”
“Chu, who are they to Li?” Anya stared at the docile-looking woman sitting there, not liking her at all.
Chu Luo said, “She’s Li Yan’s third aunt. As for these two… I don’t know either.”
Third Madam Li quickly introduced the young woman beside her to them with a smile. “She is my niece, Qing Ning. She is studying in the English department at Imperial University. I brought her here to recuperate because she’s not in good health.”
After Third Madam finished speaking, she looked at Li Yan uneasily. “Xiao Yan, I’ve always wanted to tell you about this, but you never came back, so I…”
Li Yan glanced at her coldly and Third Madam couldn’t continue.
Qing Ning was still sitting there with her eyes lowered. However, if one were to take a closer look, they would see her tightly clenched fingers.
Auntie Zhang, who was standing behind them, was even more afraid to speak.
Li Yan didn’t even look at them and kept his gaze on Chu Luo. He was certain that the three of them must have angered the little thing last night, and that’s why she didn’t let him get into bed!
He said to Chu Luo, “You call the shots here.”
Li Yan’s words shocked the three people opposite him. They looked at Chu Luo in disbelief.
Chu Luo curled her lips and walked up to the three of them. She looked at Auntie Zhang and said, “What did you say yesterday? If your third madam comes, I’ll be finished. Today, I’ll give you a chance to complain properly.”
Auntie Zhang’s face turned pale and she quickly lowered her head to apologize. “I… I’m sorry. I didn’t know you’re with Master Li.”
But in her heart, she thought disdainfully, ‘Master Li is such an elegant person. How can he really like a vixen like you? I want to see when Master Li gets tired of toying with you and abandons you.’
Just as Auntie Zhang finished thinking, the air in the living room turned cold. A strong murderous aura attacked Auntie Zhang.
Third Madam and Qing Ning’s expressions darkened.
Auntie Zhang felt the murderous aura and was scared silly. However, for some reason, she quickly asked with trembling lips, “Mi-mi… Miss, what’s wrong?”
At this moment, Anya gloated. “Chu, so you’re a vixen in that old woman’s heart! The legendary vixens in your empire are all drop-dead gorgeous. With your looks, you do have the potential to be a vixen.”
After saying that, she even looked at her and asked with her gaze: ‘You made her speak her mind, didn’t you?’
Chu Luo gave her a light look but didn’t answer.
However, Anya felt a chill in her heart. She quickly looked at Auntie Zhang and pretended to remind her kindly, “I say, is there something wrong with your brain? To actually say what’s on your mind. You’re clearly tired of living, aren’t you?”
Auntie Zhang was shocked. “What… what did I say?”
“When Li gets tired of Chu…”
A sharp look shot her way. Anya shrugged and said tactfully, “Alright, I won’t repeat what she said.”
Li Yan looked at Auntie Zhang and said to the butler, “Her mouth stinks. She mustn’t talk anymore. The Li family doesn’t welcome such people. Throw them out.”
“Yes, Master.”
The butler immediately called two bodyguards in to take Auntie Zhang away.
Auntie Zhang’s face turned green. “I, I, I… I didn’t say that.”
As she spoke, she subconsciously retreated.
Two bodyguards quickly walked up to her and grabbed her arms.
Auntie Zhang struggled as she pleaded with Third Madam and Qing Ning. “Third Madam, Miss, please save me.”
Third Madam lowered her eyes and chanted Buddhist scriptures. The Buddha beads in her hand kept rotating. Her attitude was obvious.
Qing Ning interlocked her fingers tightly and looked up at Li Yan, asking gently, “Master Li…”
“Shut up!”
Li Yan said in a low voice, “From now on, no one is allowed to enter unless they’re from the Li family. If something like this happens again, you can move out too.”
Third Madam paused in her actions, though her face remained unusually calm. “Alright, I’ll send Xiao Ning away immediately.”
“Third Aunt.” Qing Ning turned to look at Third Madam with a teary gaze.
Third Madam stood up and said to her, “Xiao Ning, let’s go. I’ll get someone to send you out immediately.”
Qing Ning bit her lips tightly. In the end, she stood up without saying anything.
Auntie Zhang was being held down. Seeing that neither of them was pleading for her, she struggled and said, “Third Madam, Miss, what should I do? Please save me, I…”
“It’s too noisy.”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, she flicked out a pill. Auntie Zhang opened her mouth wide and her lips kept parting and closing, but she couldn’t make a sound.
Third Madam and Qing Ning looked at Auntie Zhang and didn’t dare to speak again. The two of them quickly followed the bodyguards who were escorting Auntie Zhang out.
As soon as they left, Anya remembered her purpose. She quickly walked to the sofa and looked around. Sure enough, she saw a school bag beside her.
“Chu, is this bag yours?”
“Yes.”
Chu Luo nodded and Anya quickly passed it to her. “Hurry up and give me your skincare products.”
Chu Luo took out a small bottle from inside and passed it to her.
She told her about the amount to be used.
Anya opened the small bottle and quickly used her fingers to scoop some up to spread under her eyes. She felt that her eyes were very comfortable, but under Chu Luo’s gaze, she felt that she shouldn’t sing high praises of it, so she deliberately said, “It feels okay.”
Chu Luo glanced at her.
At this moment, the butler brought the servants in to serve breakfast.
The bunch of them walked towards the dining table.
As she walked, Anya said, “What did those two women want exactly? They don’t have any combat power at all. It’s like they’re here to show their faces before being slapped.”
Chu Luo smiled at her. “Maybe they’re indeed here to show their faces.”
Anya looked at Chu Luo. “Don’t tell me they’re here to test how high your status is in Li’s heart.”
Chu Luo shrugged.
Anya shook her head. “This test wasn’t worth it. That woman called Qing Ning won’t be able to come here anymore. However… that Qing Ning is also from Imperial University. Aren’t you worried that she will tell others about your relationship with Li?”
At this point, she added, “But I don’t think that woman will tell anyone. That aunt of hers seems to be a very smart woman. She will definitely make sure that Qing Ning doesn’t go around shooting off her mouth.”
Hearing this, Chu Luo suddenly thought of something and looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan tilted his head to look back at her. As if he had guessed what she wanted to say, he said, “Back then, she stood on my side. I agreed to let her spend the rest of her life in peace.”
Chu Luo immediately understood.
After the meal, Li Yan and Anya negotiated for a while.
In the end, Li Yan agreed to pay 50% of the tax.
Anya was still a little dissatisfied.
Li Yan only said, “The remaining 50% will be given to Luoluo as pocket money.”
As a princess, Anya had only ever been envied by others. She had never been envious of anyone. However, today, she endured it again and again. In the end, she couldn’t hold it in anymore and said sourly, “Billions of yuan in allowance every month. Is she going to just look at it?”
When Chu Luo heard this, she replied with a smile, “You’re right. I like to see the numbers on the card keep increasing.”
“…”
So sour!
After they finished talking business, Anya remembered to look at her dark eye circles. When she looked in the mirror, she was shocked.
“My dark eye circles are gone! Heavens, Chu, what magical concealer is that!”
“That’s not concealer.”
Anya didn’t care if that was concealer or not. This was the first time she had encountered skincare products with such amazing effects. She quickly said, “Chu, didn’t you say that it was one set? What about the rest?”
At this moment, she had already forgotten her previous thoughts.
Chu Luo gave her the entire set and said, “If it works well, recommend it among the upper-class circle of your country.”
Anya was about to nod, but after thinking about it, she decided not to make Chu Luo too proud. She said, “I’ll see the overall effect after a period of time before telling others about it.”
Chu Luo replied, “Up to you.”
After achieving her goal, Anya returned to the embassy and left the empire the next day.
Soon, it was time for the freshmen to start school.
There were more than ten colleges and hundreds of faculties in Imperial University. Usually, the students were made to go to the army for military training.
However, there would be half a day’s military training mobilization before they left.
It was Chu Luo’s first day reporting in, and not many people saw her.
Even though it later spread that Chu Luo had a boyfriend, it couldn’t stop all the new and existing students from wanting to see Chu Luo in person.
The senior-year students discussed as they walked.
“I’ve already asked around. Chu Luo has applied for several different specializations. We just have to go to the places where the specializations gather before the military training.”
“Everyone, you must maintain Internet access. Once you discover Chu Luo, you must post it on the school website immediately.”
…
The students from the schools that Chu Luo applied to also looked around.
“Where is Chu Luo? Why don’t I see her?”
“Looks like she’s not in our department.”
“I wonder which department has the honor.”
“To be able to undergo military training with Chu Luo for a month, I’d feel like my life is complete.”
“I saw on the video that Chu Luo’s skin was very fair. I wonder what she looks like after being tanned for a month?”
“Chu Luo is so smart. I wonder if her specialization will get first place in the military training this time.”
As soon as these words were out, many people felt stifled in their hearts… Since they couldn’t compare to Chu Luo in the exam, they had to surpass her in the military training.
So this year’s military instructors were pleased.
The instructors said, “This is the best batch of students we’ve ever taught.”
Of course, that was for later.
While everyone was looking for Chu Luo, she had already entered the research team of the gaming capsule with Professor Wu and the technicians sent by the Blazing Glory Gaming Corporation.
The gaming capsule in the science building had been transferred to an open area after school started.
When Professor Wu and Chu Luo appeared in front of the technicians, all the researchers were shocked.
“You’re actually [Bai Ling]!”
