In the villa district in the southern part of the city.
The Chu Residence.
The Chu family had made a name for themselves in the antiques business. Later on, they turned their business into real estate.
In just a few years, Mr. Chu became one of the top real estate developers in Ocean City.
It was said that Mr. Chu was brilliant and lucky enough to receive big projects every time, but only a small portion of people knew that the real reason was Mrs. Chu’s maiden family, the Wei family.
The Wei family was one of the most prestigious families in the capital. It could be said that one word from the Wei family and Mr. Chu would be able to get any project here, regardless of how massive it was.
As Mr. Chu’s business flourished, he had less time to go home.
Mrs. Chu’s temper wasn’t good to begin with, and she was a suspicious person. Since Mr. Chu hadn’t returned home for more than three days, she felt that he must be keeping a woman outside.
She had just angrily called Mr. Chu to throw a tantrum. “Busy, busy! Are you so busy that you don’t even want to go home? Chu Zhengyang, I’m telling you, if you don’t come back tonight, I’ll make Big Brother cancel your bid for the reconstruction of the stadium!”
Chu Zhengyang said something and Mrs. Chu slammed down the phone.
Before the anger in her heart could subside, she received a tearful complaint from Chu Ting. Instantly, she flew into a rage and sent the family chauffeur to catch the culprit.
“How dare she plot against her own sister? I’ll beat her to death today!”

On the streets.
After Chu Luo came out of the dark alley, she carried her school bag and strolled leisurely towards the Chu residence.
After she’d been walking for some time, a car suddenly stopped beside her and honked.
Chu Luo halted in her steps and saw her family’s other chauffeur, who anxiously said to her, “Second Miss, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Madam wants you to go back immediately.”
Chu Luo walked over and opened the car door to get in.
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror at Chu Luo, who sat there silently. He shook his head sympathetically.
Compared to the silent Second Miss, it was normal for Madam to prefer the cheerful and lively Eldest Miss, who had good academic results to boot.
Tonight, Madam was in a fit of anger, and Eldest Miss had complained about Second Miss. Second Miss would definitely suffer physical pain when she returned.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in the courtyard of the Chu family villa.
After Chu Luo got off the car, she walked towards the gate of the villa.
In the courtyard of the Chu family villa, there were many roses that Chu Ting liked. At this moment, the fragrance of the flowers hung in the air.
The villa was brightly lit.
Mrs. Chu, who had been sitting on the sofa and waiting for a long time, was already impatient. When she saw Chu Luo enter, her face darkened even more.
She questioned her directly, “Darned lass, you’re grown now, huh? How dare you trick Tingting into going to a place like the entertainment city? You even took her money and phone away. See if I don’t break your legs today.”
Chu Luo looked at the woman who had clearly maintained her charm well but now had a ferocious look on her face. She frowned and a trace of displeasure flashed across her heart.
“Do you think I can fool her?”
Mrs. Chu didn’t expect Chu Luo to dare to talk back at her. She was stunned at first, then she raised her voice in anger. “Damn girl, how dare you talk back!”
Then, she said to the housekeeper beside her furiously, “Go and take out the feather duster. See if I don’t teach this rude girl a lesson today!”
Chu Luo frowned slightly when she saw her mother treating her like a sinner.
She really couldn’t understand. Since she and Chu Ting were both birthed by Mrs. Chu, why would Mrs. Chu treat her this way? Was it because of her meek character and poor results?
From the memory of this body, Chu Luo knew that the original owner of this body was once also a smiling and obedient girl.
If not for the fact that most of her abilities had yet to appear in this body, she would definitely have seen what Mrs. Chu was thinking.
The servant quickly brought over a feather duster.
Mrs. Chu took it and stood up to walk towards Chu Luo.
As she walked, she pointed the feather duster at her nose, her face ashen with disappointment.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to improve, but your sister is going to take the Imperial University exam soon. Do you know how important the last two months are?
“How dare you bring her to an indecent place like the entertainment city!
“I’ll beat you to death today!”
Without giving Chu Luo a chance to explain, she walked up to her and raised the feather duster in her hand…
