Chapter 98: The Final Strike for the Mother and Daughter
Just as Chu Zhengyang was about to reveal a joyous expression, he felt something amiss with the person in his arms. He hurriedly looked at Chu Ting’s face and his expression changed drastically.
?
“Tingting, Tingting, what’s wrong? Don’t scare Daddy.”
It turned out that Chu Ting had not only fainted but she was also bleeding from her nose, and the blood was even an abnormal purple color.
Amid a series of frantic and heart-wrenching cries, Chu Ting was carried back to her room. The others quickly called the Wei family’s private doctor over to give her a checkup.
After a while.
The doctor shook his head and said helplessly, “I can’t find out anything about Miss Chu’s condition. On the surface, she looks too agitated. Her body can’t withstand this burden, but her nose is bleeding purple. It’s like she was poisoned.”
“What?”
Wei Wei staggered backward. If not for the ladies supporting her, she would have fallen.
She clutched her chest in pain and wailed, “If anything happens to Tingting, I can’t live anymore…”
Chu Zhengyang also felt dizzy. His eyes turned red as he grabbed the doctor’s collar and shouted, “Why can’t you find out the cause? Aren’t you a doctor?”
Wei Jingcheng and a few youngsters quickly held back Chu Zhengyang.
Wei Yongchang asked the doctor, “Is there any other way to find out the cause of Tingting’s illness?”
The doctor was a little unhappy with Chu Zhengyang’s attitude towards him, but he didn’t dare to be rude. He said, “We can only take Miss Chu’s blood to the First Hospital for testing.”
“Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and draw Tingting’s blood!”
Chu Ting’s matter wasn’t so easy to resolve. Leaving Wei Wei to look after Chu Ting, the rest returned to the living room.
Chu Zhengyang should have been happy that Chu Luo scored full marks, but he couldn’t smile at all. He only said, “Good child, you didn’t embarrass your parents!”
Wei Yongchang spoke up. “Although Luoluo isn’t Zhengyang and Xiao Wei’s biological daughter, you are under their name. You can be considered our Wei family’s niece.”
He then gestured to Wei Zihan. “Zihan, post this on the Internet. We’ll hold a grand event for Luoluo.”
Getting full marks on the college entrance examination was a glorious matter to begin with. Not only would it attract the envy of many people, but as long as one handled it well, one would also obtain many unexpected benefits from it.
Wei Yongchang had always been impartial between Chu Ting and Chu Luo because they were both candidates for the college entrance examination. Regardless of which one of them did well, it would only benefit the Wei family.
Chu Luo looked at Wei Yongchang’s shrewd eyes and realized the reason this person thought so highly of her.
At the thought of this, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curl up.
If they wanted to make use of her, they would have to see if they had the ability.
Not long after, Old Gao called Chu Luo.
Just as Chu Luo had guessed, Old Gao had been sitting in front of the phone since a long time ago, but he hadn’t called. Now that he had finally found out Chu Luo’s results, he was so excited that he called at the first possible moment.
The moment Chu Luo picked up the call, the first thing she heard was Old Gao’s uncontrollable loud laughter. Then, he said in an excited and trembling voice, “Little Chu Luo, you’ve really made Teacher proud, hahahaha…”
When Chu Luo heard Old Gao’s loud laughter, she also smiled until her eyes narrowed. She said, “I’d said that I would defeat all the candidates in the empire. Of course, I meant what I said.”
If Chu Luo had said this before they checked her score, everyone would only think that she was being arrogant and conceited. However, she was fully deserving of saying it now.
Old Gao couldn’t stop smiling. He didn’t forget to say to her, “Luoluo, come back quickly. I’ll immediately get my wife to prepare a table full of food and wine to celebrate with you.”
“Teacher Gao, you can prepare the food and wine later. I have something to attend to today. I’ll be back after I’m done.”
“Alright, alright. You must tell me before you come back. I’ll get my wife to go grocery shopping in advance.”
“Okay.”
Indeed, after all the provinces had checked their scores, Chu Luo, who got first place in the country, was instantly known by everyone.
“Whose daughter is so capable? If I had such an incredible daughter, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!”
“Look at other people’s children, and then look at my own. I want to have my child reconstructed!”
…
Everyone was praising her.
At this moment, Ocean City’s Education Bureau announced: “Chu Luo is from our Ocean City!”
Right on the heels of that, Ocean City’s elite high school: “Chu Luo is from our Ocean City’s elite high school!”
Ocean City’s elite high school even announced the words Chu Luo had said before the college entrance examination.
In an instant, Chu Luo became the goddess of all the candidates and high school students.
The Wei family also revealed at the first moment that Chu Luo was their niece. Instantly, everyone in the Imperial Capital’s business circle came to congratulate them. Some people even wanted her to endorse their products.
They were all rejected by the Wei family.
Of course, that was for later.
In the following period of time, Chu Luo received a few more calls. Some were from Professor Wu, his daughter, Tang Zhiyun, and Wang Mingtao. Li Tao and the others had also called her to congratulate her after getting her new number from Old Gao.
Only then did Chu Luo realize that besides her, Li Tao and the class representative had also scored above 700 points. Everyone else in the class had achieved their target score.
The class representative even teased, “This time, our Class 4 scored better than the elite class. Old Gao is so happy today.”
Li Tao especially told her, “Zhang Tianyi scored 689. He’s just waiting for the admission cutoff score to come out.”
Chu Luo smiled when she heard this.
At eleven o’clock, the other Gu Master that the Wei family had found finally arrived.
Chu Zhengyang quickly brought him in. “Master Hu, please take care of Luoluo.”
Master Hu was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He was round and a little short, but he exuded the demeanor of a master.
Chu Zhengyang brought Master Hu to Chu Luo’s room.
When Master Hu saw Chu Luo, he first looked at her face and asked strangely, “Are you sure that there is a Gu worm in the young lady’s body?”
“How can I not be sure?”
Chu Zhengyang recalled that time when Wei Wei had transferred the Gu worm from Chu Ting’s body to Chu Luo’s body behind his back, and an indescribable guilt surged in his heart.
Seeing that Chu Zhengyang was so sure, Master Hu said to Chu Luo, who was standing there and letting him size her up, “Little girl, can you show me your wrist?”
Chu Luo stuck her wrist out for him to see.
Master Hu looked at her carefully for a while and even took out a special whistle from his body. He said to Chu Zhengyang with certainty, “Your daughter wasn’t poisoned by Gu.”
“Really?”
At first, Chu Zhengyang was in disbelief, but then, his face lit up with joy. It was only then that he remembered that since Chu Luo hadn’t been poisoned by the Gu worm, then the Gu worm must still be in Chu Ting’s body.
At the thought of this, his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly said to Master Hu, “Master, I have another daughter who was poisoned by Gu earlier. Help me take a look.”
Without waiting for Master Hu to agree, he pulled his arm and anxiously walked out of the door.
Chu Luo looked at Master Hu, who was quickly pulled away, and slowly followed.
Chu Zhengyang was too anxious and worried. He pulled Master Hu along as he walked faster and faster.
When the two of them reached Chu Ting’s door, Chu Zhengyang actually didn’t have the courage to knock.
He took a few deep breaths and suppressed his palpitations before knocking on the door.
Soon, Wei Wei came over and opened the door.
Wei Wei glanced at the stranger standing beside Chu Zhengyang and said in a displeased tone, “Why are you still here? Go and care about your good niece.”
With that, she moved to close the door.
Master Hu said with certainty, “Madam has been poisoned by Gu.”
…
The surroundings suddenly fell into dead silence.
After a few seconds, Wei Wei and Chu Zhengyang asked in broken voices, “What did you say?”
Chu Zhengyang grabbed Master Hu’s collar and shouted at him, his eyes red, “You are a master hired by Big Brother. I respect you, but if you dare to spout nonsense, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Wei Wei shouted angrily, “Chu Zhengyang, throw him out! He must be a cheat!”
Master Hu’s expression turned ugly. With a cold expression, he said, “Madam, have you been feeling dizzy from time to time recently? Or feel like you’re suffering from angina when you’re agitated? Did you go to the doctor, only for the doctor to say that you were fine?”
Master Hu’s words made their expressions turn even uglier.
Chu Zhengyang lost his grip on Master Hu’s collar and staggered backward.
Wei Wei almost blacked out. She quickly held the door frame and extended her other hand to Chu Zhengyang. She finally revealed a frightened expression.
Chu Zhengyang quickly grabbed her hand.
“Zhengyang, what Master said is true. I’ve really been suffering from these symptoms recently. What should I do? Am I really poisoned by Gu?”
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Master is here. Master is here to treat the Gu worm. We’ll go back to the room first. Lie down first and let Master extract the Gu worm from your body.”
“Daddy, Mommy, what are you talking about?”
Chu Ting’s voice sounded from behind the door, and she quickly walked over.
She had just woken up from her daze and her face was still pale. She was already in a bad mood and wanted to ridicule Master Hu when she saw his round face. However, Master Hu said in a surprised tone, “This must be your daughter too. The Gu worm she is poisoned with is so oppressive.”
Master Hu’s words were like a bolt from the blue.
The Wei family, which was originally quite joyous, instantly fell into panic.
Everyone from the Wei family rushed over.
Everyone anxiously asked the Master to transfer the Gu worms away from the two of them.
The Master checked for a while, shook his head, and said, “The person who’d cast the Gu worms on the two of them is more skilled than me. I can’t cure it, especially the Mother-Child Gu from the other daughter. Only the person who’d cast the Gu worm can cure it.”
“The heavens want me dead…”
Wei Wei fainted amid a heart-wrenching cry.
Due to her agitation, Chu Ting’s Gu worm acted up.
“Xiao Wei, Tingting…”
Chu Luo, who had been standing by the door and watching the show, turned around and walked towards her room.
She had long known what would happen to Wei Wei and Chu Ting. She had only returned to take a look on behalf of the original Chu Luo.
