Chu Luo looked at Wei Xueying, who seemed to be acting considerate of her, and didn’t say anything. Instead, she said to Nangong Yi, “I’ll leave first.”
With that, she walked towards the front of the stage, intending to call Li Yan and Tang Zhiyun.
Seeing that she was ignoring her and leaving, Wei Xueying quickly followed her.
As she walked, she advised, “Luoluo, I know you can’t forgive Aunt, but Uncle really feels heartache for you. Are you really going to not acknowledge even him?”
When everyone heard this, they immediately made guesses.
“What do you think Senior Xueying means?”
“Isn’t that obvious…”
“Are you guys very free?”
Nangong Yi’s words instantly stopped their gossip.
Nangong Yi looked at the exit and said, “As members of the Student Union, before you know the truth, it’s best not to make wild guesses. If it turns out that the truth doesn’t match what you hear, the reputation of the Student Union will be ruined.”
When everyone heard this, they fell silent.
Indeed, there were many people in society who criticized people based on what they saw on the surface. This might ruin an innocent person.
Moreover, Chu Luo had given their president face tonight.
Everyone quickly dispersed.
Nangong Yi stopped the Liaison Deputy Minister and said to him, “Call Zhang Yiran and tell her to appear in front of me in five minutes. If she doesn’t, I will make her idea of ‘selling her body to raise funds’ into reality.”
The Liaison Deputy Minister trembled and quickly said, “Okay, President. I’ll call Sister Yiran immediately.”
With that, he fled.
…
Chu Luo and Wei Xueying walked out of the backstage one after another. They saw Wei Wushuang standing beside the stage, obviously waiting for them.
When Wei Wushuang saw Chu Luo, her expression turned ugly.
And after seeing her costume and cold expression, she started making snide remarks. “I think she’s doing very well. Why do you have to persuade her to go back? This ingrate will only anger Aunt and Cousin if she goes back.”
Chu Luo looked at Wei Wushuang and said coldly, “Looks like you’re not afraid of ghosts.”
This was by itself an innocuous sentence, but when Wei Wushuang heard it, her expression changed and fear flashed across her eyes. After a few seconds, she glared at Chu Luo and asked, “What do you mean?”
Chu Luo smiled at her. “Nothing.”
With that, she walked around her and continued walking.
“Make yourself clear. Did you get someone to do what happened last time?”
Wei Wushuang reached out to grab Chu Luo’s arm.
Chu Luo tilted her body and dodged her hand. She said in a low voice, “You better not touch me or I won’t be polite to you.”
“You…” Wei Wushuang’s eyes were red from anger. How could she listen to her? She raised her hand to slap her face.
“Wushuang, don’t…”
Pa!
Chu Luo looked at Wei Wushuang, who was covering her face, then at Wei Xueying, who was stunned speechless. She sneered. “Didn’t I tell you last time that I learned magic in the US? Since you don’t remember and insist on letting me practice on you, I won’t be polite.”
Pa! Pa!
“Ah…”
“Luoluo, stop!”
Chu Luo looked at Wei Wushuang’s red and swollen face and sneered. “Do you want to continue?”
Wei Wushuang was so angry that her body couldn’t help but tremble. Her eyes were filled with knives, and she wished she could hack Chu Luo into pieces.
Wei Xueying finally came back to her senses and quickly pulled Wei Wushuang. “Wushuang, calm down.”
After saying that, she gave her a look and turned to Chu Luo. “Luoluo, it’s Wushuang’s fault. Don’t be angry… I don’t have any ill intentions. It’s just that Uncle has been so anxious about you that he has become much more haggard. No matter what, he’s your only family now. You have to go back and take a look at him, right?”
Chu Luo looked at the two sisters and said, “I’m not free.”
With that, she left.
When Chu Luo walked out of the side of the stage and headed to the front, Wei Wushuang’s face was twisted with anger. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
“I must find a way to torture this woman to death!”
Wei Xueying looked at her red and swollen face and raised her hand to touch it gently. “We can’t do anything to her with the skills she learned in the US. Why would you try to fight her head-on?”
“I can’t stand the arrogance on her face. Why should we humble ourselves and invite back someone who used to freeload in Aunt’s house?”
“Chu Luo is so famous now. Inviting her back will be beneficial to our Wei family. It’s not like you don’t know. Our family’s company has been dealt a heavy blow by Master Li recently. We have to find a way to turn things around.”
“Chu Luo is just a college entrance examination top scholar. Her popularity has long passed. How can she become the turning point for the Wei family!”
“Are you stupid? Chu Luo’s popularity as the college entrance examination top scholar has subsided, but she has become famous again in the past few days. Coupled with the fact that she has performed on the same stage as the Student Union president tonight, her reputation will only become even more resounding. Do you think Daddy, Uncle, and the others won’t find a way to make Chu Luo go back?
“In that case, why don’t we persuade Chu Luo to go back first? Besides… Chu Luo is still useful to me.”
“What use can she serve?”
“Last time, I heard from someone in the industry that Chu Luo is the woman of a high-ranking official from the Blazing Glory headquarters. When she goes to the Blazing Glory headquarters, she can actually take Master Li’s special elevator. Say, if I build a good relationship with her, won’t it be easy for me to enter Blazing Glory Entertainment?”
Wei Wushuang thought for a while. Although she still wanted to swallow Chu Luo alive, she restrained her temper and said, “Do you think we can persuade her to go back?”
“How would we know if we don’t try?”
Wei Xueying then walked forward.
Wei Wushuang quickly followed.
…
Chu Luo arrived in front of the stage and immediately saw Li Yan sitting in one of the Student Union reserved seats.
There were actually many Student Union members who had nothing to do sitting around Li Yan, but everyone had the same goal and was at least two seats away from Li Yan. This led to the other spots being crowded and the few seats around him being empty.
The moment Chu Luo walked over, Li Yan looked at her.
Before the others could look at her, Chu Luo sat beside Li Yan and said to him, “I want to go back.”
Li Yan nodded.
Chu Luo added, “I’ll tell Sister Wu and the others first and ask if they’re leaving.”
With that, she stood up.
Li Yan grabbed her wrist and said, “Call them.”
He then handed her her phone.
Chu Luo had wanted to call Wu Yiyao, but the music playing was a little explosive and she couldn’t hear a thing.
Chu Luo thought for a while and sent her a message before calling her. She hung up when Wu Yiyao picked up.
The two of them didn’t wait long before a few people walked over from the side aisle.
Wu Yiyao said, “Little Chu, I’ll leave with you.”
Tang Zhiyun and the others also expressed their intention to leave.
Chu Luo nodded and stood up with Li Yan. The group walked towards a side door.
After they left, the laidback man sitting in front suddenly sat up straight.
Someone sitting beside him quickly asked, “Young Master Qin, what’s wrong?”
“It’s fine.” Qin Huai sat down again and casually took out his phone to text.
—Follow Chu Luo and the others.
Qin Huai had just sent the message when two women walked out. He looked at the two women and a glint flashed across his eyes.
Putting away his phone, he stood up and left his seat calmly.
He looked like he was going to the bathroom.
No one suspected a thing.
…
After Chu Luo and the others left the hall…
Wu Yiyao praised with a smile, “I didn’t expect that Little Chu could play the zither so well. At that time, I felt like I had walked into Little Chu’s zither and really saw the four ‘months’ of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It was too astounding.”
Tang Zhiyun continued, “The part that left the deepest impression on me was ‘Autumn Moon’ played by Junior. That magnificent battlefield made my blood boil.”
“Also, that tune ‘Summer Moon’ that Sister Chu played. The feels it gave me was just awesome.”
The boys all stated which part they liked.
After everyone was done, Wang Mingtao suggested, “Sister Chu’s performance was so fascinating tonight. Let’s go have some supper to celebrate.”
Wu Yiyao thought of the competition they would be participating in tomorrow and asked, “Where are you guys participating in the competition? I’ll accompany you for the next three days.”
“Little Professor Wu is coming to accompany us?” Tang Zhiyun was obviously very happy. He asked deliberately, “Aren’t you going out to play during National Day?”
“I don’t like going to crowded places. I don’t know how to spend such a long break. Accompanying you guys can be considered as killing time.”
The boys glanced at Tang Zhiyun and replied happily, “Sure.”
Xie Minghai said, “We plan to stay in one of the computer rooms.”
Tang Zhiyun continued, “Other than the five of us, a few others have applied to use the computer room. One of the computer rooms will be reserved for us.”
Wu Yiyao thought for a moment and suggested, “The computer equipment in the computer room isn’t considered good. You can’t react quickly when a situation arises. Why don’t we go to the technology building directly? The computers in the technology building aren’t installed with any software, so we won’t have to worry about anyone hacking through the software system.”
Everyone thought about it and felt that it made sense.
“But… we didn’t have time to apply to the school.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll go back and tell my father to help you.”
After saying that, everyone turned the topic back to supper.
The boys and Wu Yiyao agreed. Chu Luo also wanted to go, so Li Yan said, “Luoluo, go back and change first.”
Chu Luo’s costume was indeed too eye-catching. Plus, she was famous to begin with. If she went out like this, she might get surrounded by people.
Wu Yiyao handed Li Yan the key. “Then you guys can take my car. We’ll ride our bicycles and meet by the school gate.”
Chu Luo nodded and Li Yan took the key.
As soon as they left, Wei Xueying and Wei Wushuang walked over.
Wei Wushuang looked at them sympathetically. “Do you know what Chu Luo’s boyfriend does?”
