The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute.

In the Wei residence study.

Wei Yongchang asked Wei Zihan, “What do you think about this?”

A glint flashed across Wei Zihan’s eyes. “Cui Xudong isn’t a pushover. Since Li Yan didn’t give him face, he will definitely hold a grudge. We just need to add fuel to the fire.”

Wei Yongchang nodded in agreement. “I’ll leave this matter to you.”

“Father, don’t worry. I will definitely not disappoint you.”

…

Chu Zhengyang said a few words to Chu Luo before bringing her to Chu Ting’s room.

Chu Ting’s Gu worm was already suppressed, but she was extremely tired after it flared up and was still sleeping.

Wei Wei had been guarding her bed the entire time. Her face was haggard and tired. It wasn’t difficult to tell how much she cared about Chu Ting.

When the two of them entered, Wei Wei opened her eyes.

The moment she saw Chu Luo, she frowned and said sternly, “Don’t tell me you think you didn’t agitate Tingting enough. Before she recovers, don’t appear in front of her.”

She felt that Chu Luo was the culprit behind Chu Ting’s agitation. She didn’t like Chu Luo to begin with, and now, she disliked her even more.

Chu Luo only glanced coldly at Wei Wei and Chu Ting, who was lying there pretending to be asleep. She then turned around and left.

Chu Zhengyang wanted to say something, but Wei Wei glared at him to shut up.

Wei Wei snorted at him. “Your good daughter indeed. She doesn’t even bother giving me a pleasant countenance.”

Chu Zhengyang knew that Wei Wei was upset, so he didn’t reply and went out as well.

As soon as the door was closed, Chu Ting opened her eyes and started sobbing.

“Tingting, are you in pain again?” Wei Wei’s face turned pale from anxiety.

Chu Ting sobbed and said, “Mommy, every time I think about how Chu Luo didn’t tell me about the college entrance examination questions and made me unable to do well, I feel so upset.”

With that, she trembled and cried with a twisted face. “I’m in so much pain.”

Wei Wei quickly grabbed her hand and said anxiously, “I’ll go look for Master Xiang immediately. Stop thinking about it. Otherwise, the Gu worm will act up again.”

“No.” Chu Ting hurriedly grabbed her hand and said to her with a desperate look, “Mommy, do you think I can calm down before the college entrance examination results come out?

“The thought of losing all the marks on the major questions in every subject makes me want to die.”

When Wei Wei heard the word “die,” her heart ached. She hurriedly berated in a hoarse voice, “Tingting, what nonsense are you spouting!”

As Chu Ting cried, she continued, “If Chu Luo’s score is really higher than mine this time, I will doubt my life. If that should happen, I will definitely not be able to calm down. Thus, I will have to struggle at death’s door while being tortured by the Gu worm for the rest of my life.”

“How could that be? Mommy will never let you suffer so much!”

Wei Wei hugged her and promised her, “If you don’t want to see Chu Luo, Mommy will chase her away to a place where you can no longer see her.”

“Is that going to work? If she really gets into Imperial University, she’ll still return to the capital.”

When Wei Wei heard this, a ruthless glint flashed across her eyes.

“So what if she gets in? As long as I don’t agree to sign on the consent form, she can forget about getting in!”

“No, no, no… This won’t be good for your reputation, Mommy. Why don’t we do this…” Speaking up to this point, Chu Ting suddenly grabbed Wei Wei’s hand and said in a low and anxious voice, “I want to transfer the Gu worm to Chu Luo. Mommy, please, only then will I not be agitated.”

After saying that, she looked at Wei Wei nervously and expectantly.

Unexpectedly, Wei Wei agreed without even thinking. “Okay, I’ll go prepare it. Once you calm down, we’ll transfer the Gu away.”

Chu Ting was delighted.

She thought with a twisted heart, ‘Chu Luo, don’t blame me. Even Mom doesn’t like you. Why are you still alive?!’

…

Not long after Chu Luo left, Chu Zhengyang caught up to her. “Luoluo, don’t blame your mother. Tingting is your sister. I believe you’re worried about her as well.”

Chu Luo stopped and looked at him with her big dark eyes. When he finished, she suddenly asked, “What exactly happened when Mommy gave birth to us?”

When Chu Zhengyang heard this, surprise flashed across his face. He suddenly didn’t dare to look Chu Luo in the eye. He raised his hand to massage his temple in an attempt to conceal his surprise and asked in turn, “Luoluo, why are you asking this? Did someone say some nonsense to you?”

Chu Luo stared into his eyes and said calmly, “I guessed.”

Chu Zhengyang secretly heaved a sigh of relief and squeezed out a loving smile as he raised his hand to touch her head.

Chu Luo shifted to the side and dodged his hand.

The smile on Chu Zhengyang’s face froze. After a while, he put down his hand and said, “Nothing happened before. Don’t think too much.”

Then, he said, “I have something to attend to outside. You can go to the backyard to play… Do you want Daddy to prepare a tablet for you so that you can go online? You don’t usually go online, but since you’re already an adult now, it’s time for you to come into contact with more things.”

Chu Luo nodded. “Prepare a laptop for me, the kind where games can be played.”

“Okay, I’ll bring it back for you when I come back.”

Chu Luo watched as Chu Zhengyang left with a sigh of relief. A dark glint flashed across her eyes.

Since she couldn’t get anything out of him, she could only think of a way to ask her “good” mother.

It was obvious that the Wei family wasn’t at home today. Chu Luo finished her dinner alone, took her phone, sat on a chair, and continued playing games.

When it was almost nine at night, there was a knock on her door.

It was Wei Wei standing outside the door.

For the first time ever, Wei Wei didn’t give her a cold look. She was also holding a cup of warm milk.

Wei Wei said to her, “Luoluo, Mommy has been flaring up at you recently because I’m too worried about your sister. Don’t blame Mommy. When your sister’s illness is cured, I’ll take you out to eat good food and buy something you like.”

After saying that, she handed her the milk in her hand. “You must have not been eating well recently. You’ve… lost weight. Mommy made this milk for you personally. Drink it.”

Chu Luo looked at Wei Wei and suddenly arched the corners of her lips. She didn’t take the milk and instead spoke calmly

“I saw a thread on my phone just now. The poster of the thread said that her neighbor had two children, but the parents liked only the older one. They thought that the younger one was an eyesore, so they poisoned the younger one to death…”

When Wei Wei heard this, her hand that was holding the cup trembled. She quickly concealed the panic in her heart with a displeased tone and asked with a stern face, “Luoluo, are you suspecting Mommy?”

“No.” Chu Luo looked innocent. “I’m just sharing with you the thread I saw just now.”

Wei Wei’s expression darkened. “Don’t look at such posts again.”

“But I’m a little scared. After reading that post, I thought of how you scolded me before.”

When Wei Wei heard this, her expression changed drastically and she almost collapsed.

She quickly said, “Scoldings and beatings are borne out of love. Mommy beats and scolds you for a reason. You’re usually disobedient, and Mommy expected better from you.”

“Really? Then tell me, how am I disobedient? Is it because I didn’t take the rap for Sister, or because I did better in the exam than her?”

“You… you…”

Wei Wei didn’t expect Chu Luo to be so aggressive with her words. She was furious and her expression finally changed. She threw the milk to the ground.

Amid the splashing of milk and glass shards, she said with a dark face, “Since you don’t appreciate my kindness, don’t count on anything in the future. When the results are out, you can get lost and do whatever you want.”

With that, she stormed off.

Chu Luo turned to look at the milk by her feet. A sharp glint flashed across her eyes.

“They say that even a vicious tiger won’t hurt its cubs… Ha! Do you really hate me to the extent that you want me to die?”
