When Chu Zhengyang called Wei Wei to tell Chu Ting to go back and change her clothes for the banquet, Chu Ting was sitting on the bed with a blank expression.
After much persuasion from Wei Wei, Chu Ting reluctantly agreed.
She left the hospital alone and walked towards the parking lot. As she walked, she sent a message to someone and didn’t notice that someone was standing in front of her.
Just as she was about to bump into him, the person suddenly reminded her kindly, “Little girl, don’t play with your phone when you’re walking. It’s very dangerous.”
Startled, Chu Ting hurriedly looked up.
The person in front of her was a middle-aged man in a navy blue robe. It was nighttime, yet the middle-aged man was still wearing sunglasses. He was also holding two beads in his hand.
Chu Ting looked at him as though he was crazy and decided to walk around him.
The middle-aged man stared at Chu Ting with a deep gaze and said, “Little girl, are you unable to speak? Even the doctors can’t figure out why you can’t speak, right?”
Chu Ting suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at the middle-aged man.
Seeing her reaction, the middle-aged man suddenly laughed. “I have a way to make you regain your ability to speak. If you don’t believe me, then continue walking.”
Surprise flashed across Chu Ting’s eyes and she rapidly typed a message on her phone to show to the middle-aged man: “What can you do? As long as you can make me speak, you can ask for as much money as you want.”
The middle-aged man twirled the beads in his hand and, with the demeanor of a master, said, “Money is just a worldly possession. I don’t need money. You just have to agree to one condition.”
Chu Ting wasn’t a fool and immediately looked at him with vigilance.
The middle-aged man actually revealed a look of admiration. “Little girl, you suspect me. This proves that you’re very smart.
“I’m an expert who specializes in Gu poison1 research. I want to find someone to do experiments on. I just want you to recommend someone to me, a person who will not cause me any trouble after becoming my experimental subject.”
Chu Luo’s face appeared in Chu Ting’s mind.
She quickly typed: “What experiment do you want to do?”
The middle-aged man said, “Use Gu poison to control a person.”
A glint flashed across Chu Ting’s eyes. She thought, if this person could control Chu Luo, she would definitely make Chu Luo suffer a fate worse than death.
She continued typing with her head lowered. “Let me speak first.”
The middle-aged man swiftly tapped her acupoint.
“Alright, you can speak now.”
“You…”
The moment Chu Ting let out a sound, she was so excited that she almost jumped up and down. Her gaze towards the middle-aged man was no longer guarded.
“How are you going to use Gu poison to control Chu Luo?”
The middle-aged man looked unfathomable. “Little girl, where are you going?”
“I’m rushing back to attend a dinner party with my dad and other people.”
“Perfect. You can bring that person there. We’ll exchange phone numbers and I’ll text you when the time comes. You just need to dupe her into coming out and then hand her to me.”
“You’re going to take Chu Luo away?”
“No. I’m just going to observe her secretly.”
Chu Ting nodded her head in satisfaction. She had yet to take revenge on Chu Luo. If Chu Luo were to be taken away by this person, Chu Ting would definitely be displeased.
The two of them took down each other’s phone numbers. Just as Chu Ting was about to leave, the middle-aged man suddenly grabbed her wrist before quickly letting go, “Little girl, don’t tell anyone about this.”
“Got it.”
…
The Chu Residence.
Chu Luo had just finished correcting the comprehensive test papers when there was a knock on the door.
Thinking that it was a servant, she got up to open the door.
When she saw Chu Ting standing outside the door with a proud smile on her face, she only froze for two seconds before saying with certainty, “Looks like you can speak now.”
“How did you know!”
“Because…” Chu Luo suddenly took a step towards Chu Ting. With a single glance, she could tell that Chu Ting was under the influence of Gu poison. With a glint flickering across her eyes, she said, “I guessed.”
“You…” Chu Ting originally wanted to flare up, but after thinking about what she was going to do tonight, she immediately revealed a meaningful smile and said in a benevolent tone, “Change your clothes immediately. Dad and Second Uncle are bringing us to the Zhang residence for a banquet. ”
Without giving Chu Luo a chance to reply, she turned around and left.
Chu Luo looked outside the door, trying to guess who had used Gu poison on Chu Ting and what their motive was.
But when she thought of the existence of Gu poison in this world, she felt an inexplicable excitement.
Most importantly, she could tell at a glance that the person who’d cast the Gu poison was only average. Her current ability was enough to deal with that person.
She suddenly thought of how to earn money.
Chu Luo went to the wardrobe to take a look and realized that the original Chu Luo’s taste was really bad. The dresses were either gaudy or not fitting.
In the end, she simply decided on a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt.
She then used a hair clip to hold her long straight hair.
Staring at the person in the mirror, Chu Luo was still disgusted. “You have such a good foundation, but you made yourself look malnourished. How ugly.”
After saying that, she pushed aside her thick bangs and looked at the long scar on her forehead. She thought for a while about which medicinal herbs she needed to remove this scar, and she became even more determined to earn money.
As she walked down the stairs, the three people downstairs frowned at the sight of her attire.
Chu Ting was the first to ridicule, “We’re attending a banquet, but you actually dressed like this!”
Chu Zhengyang put on a fierce expression. “Go change immediately. Look at your sister. Can’t you learn from her example?”
Chu Ting had put on extremely exquisite makeup and a pink ruffle dress. The ends of the dress were just above her knees, and not only did it show off her long legs and good figure, but it also made her look extremely elegant.
Chu Luo lowered her gaze and said, “My gowns are too big for me.”
It was only then that Chu Zhengyang realized that though Chu Luo was about to turn 18 years old, she looked like she was only 14 or 15 years old. A trace of guilt flashed across his heart for no reason, and he didn’t continue talking about her attire. Instead, he instructed, “Don’t run around when you go to the Zhang residence, and don’t touch anything.”
“Got it, Daddy.”
The four of them then headed to the Zhang residence in a car.
The Zhang family lived in another villa district. Due to the accumulated wealth from several generations, they had a high social status in Ocean City, and their villa was massive.
Tonight was Boss Zhang’s eldest son’s birthday. Almost all of Ocean City’s upper-class circle had come.
As Wei Jianze had said, everyone who came to attend the birthday party today brought their children or relatives’ children.
When the Chu family’s car stopped outside the Zhang family’s villa, everyone only stopped to take a glance before continuing on their way. However, when Wei Jianze alighted from the car, everyone looked surprised.
Boss Zhang even brought his two sons to welcome them personally.
At the same time, he extended his hand to Wei Jianze enthusiastically. “I didn’t expect Mr. Wei to attend my son’s birthday party. Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling!”
Wei Jianze shook hands with him and directly said in an official tone, “I just happened to be in Ocean City. I heard that Boss Zhang’s family is holding a birthday party, so I took the liberty to come. I hope Boss Zhang doesn’t mind.”
“Of course not. You’re welcome.”
After Boss Zhang finished speaking, he quickly introduced his two sons to him. “This is my eldest son, Zhang Tianxiang. This is my younger son, Zhang Tianyi.”
Wei Jianze smiled and said, “Indeed, a tiger father will not beget a dog son.”
“Haha… Mr. Wei, Boss Chu, and your two daughters, please come in.”
Boss Zhang let his two sons continue to attend to guests while he personally led the four of them inside.
Chu Luo followed behind them. At this moment, an arm suddenly reached out to block her.
At the same time, she heard a low voice filled with displeasure and threat. “Chu Luo, I’m warning you. Stay away from me tonight. Also… if you dare to tell others about your confession to me at school yesterday, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson.”
