Chapter 26: Since You’ve Given It to Me, Don’t Even Think About Taking It Back

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Luo and Old Gao had just walked out of the office when the dean led a few girls over.

The makeup on the girls’ faces had been ruined by their tears and snot, and they were even grimacing in pain. It was extremely comical.

They complained to the dean as they walked.

“Dean Lu, we were beaten up by Chu Luo. Look at my arm, it’s still so painful that I can’t lift it up. Ouch… Ouch… You must punish her severely.”

“My legs, too. I still can’t walk. I might become a cripple. Boohoo…”

…

The dean’s face darkened and he didn’t reply. He knew very well what these girls were like at school, but their family backgrounds weren’t bad. In this kind of private school, as long as they didn’t cause too much trouble, he usually turned a blind eye.

Since they came to him and complained, he couldn’t sit back and do nothing. He said, “Which class is Chu Luo from?”

A few girls were about to reply when a displeased voice came from the other side. “Chu Luo is my student.”

Old Gao and Chu Luo walked towards the dean together.

When the girls saw Chu Luo, they glared at her and pointed at her. “Dean Lu, it’s her. She hit us.”

Chu Luo looked at the girls calmly, but her lips curled into a displeased smile.

The dean glanced at the petite and obedient Chu Luo and then at the “big and burly” girls. He didn’t believe their words.

He asked Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, tell me what happened.”

Chu Luo said, “When I came here this morning, they stopped me halfway. They said that I offended Jiang Siyi and wanted to teach me a lesson.”

“Jiang Siyi?” Old Gao frowned. “Why is it her again?”

Chu Luo continued, “There were so many people watching at that time. I remember that someone in my class recorded what happened just now. Why don’t you go and take a look at the recording, Dean Lu?”

“No way!” When the girls heard that someone had recorded a video, their arrogance instantly weakened. It was obvious they were sheepish.

When the dean saw their reaction, he knew what was going on. His expression darkened and he said sternly, “Come with me to the office and explain things clearly.”

The girls hurried to explain.

“Dean Lu, we’re not…”

“Dean Lu, we didn’t. Look at our injuries…”

Old Gao said to Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, go back to the classroom first.”

Chu Luo nodded at him and walked towards the stairs.

The dean had wanted to make Chu Luo stay as well, but Old Gao said, “Dean Lu, Chu Luo’s time is precious. I’ll go with you to resolve this matter.”

…

It was unknown how Old Gao had resolved this matter. When the second lesson ended in the morning, the girls were criticized in the school broadcast.

Jiang Siyi, who was waiting to watch a good show, froze.

Old Gao even called her out.

The class instantly started discussing.

“Jiang Siyi will definitely be scolded by Old Gao. I happened to be at the scene when the school’s gangster girls blocked Chu Luo this morning. I heard with my own ears that they were helping Jiang Siyi to teach Chu Luo a lesson.”

“Jiang Siyi is too much. She’s disfigured due to her own allergies. Is she that envious after seeing Chu Luo become more good-looking by the day?”

“You girls’ jealousy is so scary.”

“What do you mean by us girls? Zhang Dongqiang, don’t speak of us in the same breath as Jiang Siyi.”

“Exactly. Weren’t you guys very fond of Jiang Siyi in the past? Why don’t I see any of you fawning over her now? You even said that we were jealous. I think it’s you guys who are too shallow.”

“Hehe, so what if we’re superficial? Jiang Siyi had such a superb figure before, so she must have had some silicone injections. Also, that face of hers, if I take another look at it now, I’ll have nightmares.”

Public opinion was the best weapon to kill people. Chu Luo glanced at Jiang Siyi, who was standing by the door with a pale face, and sneered.

What Jiang Siyi was experiencing now was exactly what the original Chu Luo had experienced before. This was retribution, and hers had only just begun.

The day passed quickly.

When Chu Luo walked into the apartment, she found a few people standing inside as if they were guarding the door.

She sensed that there were at least a hundred people in the entire building. Each of them exuded a sharp aura.

She didn’t mind and continued walking towards the stairs.

When she returned to her place, Li Yan was already waiting for her in the living room.

Chu Luo didn’t greet him and walked straight to the bedroom. Li Yan’s usual cold voice came from behind. “I’ve already prepared what you wanted.”

“Eh?”

Chu Luo stopped and turned to look at him.

Li Yan kindly added, “Medicinal herbs and poison.”

When Chu Luo heard this, the corners of her lips curled up. She turned around, opened the bedroom door, put down her bag, and walked out.

“Where?”

Li Yan opened his hand to reveal a key. “I put them in the room next to yours.”

Chu Luo walked over to take the key.

However, Li Yan kept the key in his hand and said, “If you want those things, promise me one condition.”

Chu Luo frowned in displeasure. “I knew you were a big baddie who goes back on his words.”

Li Yan glanced at her coldly and didn’t defend himself. “Give me that piece of jade for one night and I’ll return it to you tomorrow morning.”

Chu Luo thought of the jade that had become ordinary. Her eyes flashed and she pursed her lips. “You have already given me the jade. Why should I give it to you?”

Li Yan pursed his lips and looked at her with his cold eyes.

Chu Luo wasn’t afraid at all. She even raised his chin and said proudly, “Since you’ve given it to me, don’t even think about taking it back.”

A cold air emanated from Li Yan.

Chu Luo thought that he couldn’t do anything to her. Unexpectedly, he knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair twice and his subordinate walked in.

After Qin Ming entered, he respectfully called out, “Master.”

Li Yan’s expression was cold. “Destroy all those herbs and poison.”

“Yes!”

Qin Ming turned around to leave.

“Stop right there!” Chu Luo was furious. She strode over to Li Yan’s side and raised her hand to strike him.

Qin Ming was shocked and was about to move when Li Yan stopped him with a look.

Although Li Yan was in a wheelchair, he wasn’t slow. He leaned back and quickly grabbed Chu Luo’s waist.

He then turned her around, intending to use his arms to restrain her hands.

Unexpectedly, in her struggle, Chu Luo accidentally stepped on the edge of the wheelchair pedal. She lost her balance and fell to sit on him.

Chu Luo’s back was immediately pressed against his chest. The other party’s temperature and heartbeat were quickly transmitted through the thin fabric.

And since his hand was still tightly wrapped around her waist, it looked very intimate.

Chu Luo, who had never been so close to a man before, was stunned.

At this moment, she heard a low voice that only she could hear. “Hand me the jade pendant. I’ll get someone to make a replica.”
