Chapter 503: Enlightened
Although she was still crying there, at least she no longer said anything about jumping off a building.
Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao looked at each other and smiled.
Wu Yiyao said, “Isn’t Little Chu in a hurry to get the posters? You guys, continue to sign.”
After saying that, she gave the boys a look.
Tang Zhiyun and the others immediately followed Chu Luo into the office.
Wu Yiyao went over to bring a chair to Mrs. Tang and said, “Auntie Tang, sit for a while.”
After saying that, she went to pour her a glass of water.
Mrs. Tang was a little thirsty from her argument with Xiao Yue just now. She took the water from Wu Yiyao’s hand and took two sips.
Wu Yiyao walked up to Xiao Yue and said to her, “Xiao Yue, let’s talk.”
In the office.
Xie Minghai nudged Tang Zhiyun with his elbow and winked at him. “Old Tang, listen to what Teacher Little Wu has to say. You have to learn from her, especially since she is trying to persuade Xiao Yue.”
Yu Lei agreed. “Teacher Little Wu is indeed a teacher. Her every word is so reasonable. Moreover, now that she has said that, Xiao Yue won’t be able to cause trouble for your family in the future. She will also gain face. That’s good, that’s good. I wonder if Auntie is satisfied with Teacher Little Wu.”
Xie Minghai gritted his teeth. “It’s not a matter of whether Auntie is satisfied with Teacher Little Wu or not. It’s a matter of whether Teacher Little Wu is satisfied with Auntie. Teacher Little Wu is so eligible and has a professor father. If she really marries Old Tang, if Auntie continues to be so shrewd, let’s see what you’ll do in the future.”
Tang Zhiyun glanced at the two of them and said with lowered eyes, “You are thinking too much. Teacher Little Wu said just now that I am not suitable for a relationship. My career should be my priority.”
Tang Zhiyun thought about it and agreed. He was poor now and had nothing. He was not qualified to like Teacher Little Wu at all. Therefore, he had to work hard to grow up quickly.
Chu Luo, who was sitting next to them, glanced at Tang Zhiyun and didn’t say anything.
After the five of them signed their names, Chu Luo took the posters and prepared to leave.
Beside her, Tang Zhiyun asked, “Junior, why don’t you come to dinner with us tonight?”
“No, I’ll be very busy for the next two days.”
The few of them walked out of the room. Chu Luo said to Wu Yiyao, “Sister Wu, I’ll leave first.”
Then, she left.
Seeing that Chu Luo didn’t even greet her, Mrs. Tang felt a little uncomfortable.
She subconsciously walked to the window and looked downstairs.
She saw that after Chu Luo walked out, a few men in black suits walked respectfully behind her. The few of them walked to a luxurious-looking car at the same time. One of them opened the door for her before she got in. At this point, Mrs. Tang retracted her gaze with a complicated expression.
However, her heart started beating faster. Could that person be a lady from upper-class society? Previously, Zhiyun had said that she had given them a lot of help. Could it be that she was the one who gave them the money to set up the company? If she got displeased, would she take back the company?
At the thought of this, Mrs. Tang suddenly felt fear.
She pulled Tang Zhiyun to the side and asked in a low voice, “Zhiyun, tell me honestly, what does that Miss Chu do?”
“She’s considered a partner in our company.”
“!!!”
Seeing her mother’s eyes widen and look frightened, Tang Zhiyun asked in confusion, “Mom, what’s wrong?”
Mrs. Tang suddenly wanted to beat herself to death. How could she have the mood to answer him? She quickly asked, “Is that Miss Chu’s family very rich?”
“Yes.” Tang Zhiyun frowned and asked suspiciously, “Mom, why are you asking this?”
“I… I… Aiya, I’m dying. I treated her so badly before. Will she hold a grudge?”
Tang Zhiyun perked up. He had no idea what his mother had thought of. He was about to answer that Junior wouldn’t bear a grudge, but he changed his words. “As long as you don’t bring people here to cause trouble, it will be fine. Junior only helps us because she likes our ability. I have to produce results now.”
“Right, right, right. You have to produce results.”
Mrs. Tang immediately chimed in, “Don’t worry, Mommy won’t force you to marry in the future. It’s our Tang family’s ancestors who have accumulated virtue that you’re able to open a company in the capital. After you make something of yourself in the future, you can buy a house in the capital and marry a capable wife. Mommy will be satisfied for the rest of my life.”
Seeing her mother suddenly enlightened, Tang Zhiyun was delighted and nodded at her. “Mom, you are right.”
…
Chu Luo asked the bodyguards to send the signed posters to where Nangong Yi and the others were having their meal. Then, she called Li Yan.
She then realized that Li Yan was still at the Sun residence.
Li Yan told him, “Go back first. I should be back in two hours.”
Then, he said, “The upper-class society of the Imperial Capital will be undergoing a major cleansing in the next two days. Tell your friends to be careful.”
Chu Luo responded with an “Mm” and the two of them hung up.
Then, she called her close friends and informed them.
When Chu Luo returned to the Li residence, it was almost seven.
After the meal, she thought for a while and was still a little worried. She called the butler over and said to him,
“Butler, go prepare a few villas. I’ll get my friends to stay here for the next two days. Also… immediately send someone to bring Professor Wu’s family, Taozi’s family, and Senior Tang and the rest over.”
The Sun family had captured the Qin family and the Duanmu family, and Li Yan was obviously on the Sun family’s side. When the time came, the other two families would definitely think of ways to take revenge.
Since they couldn’t take revenge on Li Yan and her, they would definitely target the people around her.
It was enough that such a thing happened once. Chu Luo definitely wouldn’t let it happen again.
“Okay, Miss Chu.”
The butler went to make arrangements. Chu Luo called them again and only said that she would invite them to the Li residence to play for two days.
Li Yan said that he would be back in two hours but didn’t. He only called Chu Luo and said that he was still at the Sun residence.
Chu Luo asked, “How do you plan to deal with Old Master Duanmu?”
Li Yan said, “Let him sleep. After this matter is over, send him to a place where he can spend his later years in peace.”
Chu Luo thought that this was a good idea, so she told him that she was going to invite Professor Tang and the others back to stay for two days.
Li Yan definitely agreed.
The two of them hung up.
When everyone arrived at the Li residence, it was already past eleven o’clock.
Having personally witnessed the confrontation between the three top families last night, Wu Yiyao remained silent after arriving.
Wang Mingtao’s family trusted Chu Luo a lot. Since Chu Luo invited them over to play, they happily came over to play for two days.
Daddy Wang added, “Coincidentally, we were very tired recently and were prepared to rest well for the next two days. Unexpectedly, Little Chu brought us here.”
The butler told him, “There’s a large pond in the Li residence. If Mr. Wang likes to fish, you can go there to fish for the next two days. I’ve already sent someone to prepare the fishing tools for you.”
“Aiya, Mr. Beitang, how did you know I like to fish?”
The butler smiled. “You’re a friend of our Li family’s mistress. It’s only right that I do this.”
Wang Mingtao quickly asked, “Uncle Butler, what about me?”
“Mr. Little Wang, you can play games for the next two days. If you’re bored, you can game with the bodyguards in the residence who are on break.”
“Oh yeah!” Wang Mingtao shouted excitedly.
He immediately received a smack from Mommy Wang.
The butler said to Tang Zhiyun and the others, “Mr. Tang, you guys can continue to work. I have prepared a villa for you to work in.”
Tang Zhiyun and the others had been wondering if it would affect their work progress since they were invited to be here in the next few days. If Teacher Little Wu, who was eating with them, hadn’t asked them to pack their things and come over, they would have refused.
They were very happy to hear the butler’s arrangement.
Only Mrs. Tang, Tang Zhiyun’s brother, and Xiao Yue had been in a state of shock since the car entered the Li residence.
The butler glanced at the three of them and instructed, “There are some places in the Li residence that outsiders are not allowed to enter. I’ll send someone to tell you in detail which places you can’t go.”
When Mrs. Tang heard this, she felt that this was directed at them. She immediately came back to her senses and nodded. “Okay, okay. We definitely won’t walk around.”
As a woman who had been working in the fields for her entire life, the furthest Mrs. Tang had gone was the county city. This time, her trip to the capital had already broadened her horizons. She didn’t expect that someone would have such a huge residence in a place like the capital.
Mrs. Tang thought, ‘In the past, only the kings could afford to stay here.’
Then, she felt a little proud. ‘My son actually knows such a wealthy family. It’s simply a blessing accumulated over a hundred years!’
At the thought of this, she tensed up even more and decided not to cause trouble for her son.
Only Xiao Yue’s heart beat like a drum as she peeked at the gorgeous villa.
She thought excitedly, ‘How nice would it be if I could stay in such a place forever!’
