Chapter 170: How Impudent! Do You Know Who You Are Talking to?
Anya was a little disappointed that Chu Luo didn’t answer. “Are you still angry with my father?”
Chu Luo suddenly doubted Anya’s motive for wanting to be friends with her. She didn’t bother to mince her words. “Why should I be angry with your father? After all, he was the one who suffered in the end.”
“Really?” Not only was Anya not angry, but she also heaved a sigh of relief. “Since Chu isn’t angry with my father, why don’t you agree to us being friends?”
“Why should I agree?” Chu Luo glanced at Anya. “Other than the fact that you are a princess, I don’t see a need to be friends with you.”
“Why not?” Anya said. “If we become friends, no one in this country will dare to offend you.”
“No one dares to offend me now.”
Anya choked, but she wasn’t discouraged. She continued, “While you’re here, I can be your tour guide. I can take you wherever you want to play.”
Chu Luo stared at her and continued curtly, “I don’t have anywhere I want to go.”
“Why not?” Anya looked at her with her jade eyes wide open. “Experts like you must like to interact with other mages. Coincidentally, I know where there are other light mages.”
“Oh?” Chu Luo was a little surprised. She first walked towards the sofa.
Anya followed.
After Chu Luo sat down, she gestured for her to sit.
Chu Luo asked, “Since you know light mages, why didn’t you discover that a dark mage was living in your house?”
“Erm…”
Anya was stumped again. She realized that the girl opposite her was stubborn.
However, her goal today was to be friends with her and persuade Li Yan to reconsider paying the taxes.
After all, the taxes paid by Blazing Glory was too enormous a sum of money. If they really didn’t pay taxes, it would affect the entire country’s situation.
She still wanted to fight for benefits for this country, even if it meant getting Blazing Glory to pay half of its taxes.
So she explained in a vexed tone, “After I went to university, I basically lived in a house over at the university city. I seldom came back. That woman acted too much like my mother, so I never noticed.”
At this point, a trace of heartache flashed across her eyes. “If I had known that such a thing had happened, I would have risked my life to drive that woman out of the castle.”
Chu Luo looked at Anya and didn’t say anything.
Just then, Abel came in with a tray containing breakfast.
“Madam, breakfast is ready.”
When Chu Luo heard this form of address, she frowned and looked at Abel.
With a natural expression, Abel asked, “Madam, are you eating on the sofa or at the dining table?”
Chu Luo: “…”
Anya raised her voice. “Are you really Madam Li?”
Chu Luo tilted her head and looked at the worked-up Anya. Suddenly, she didn’t want to correct Abel anymore. She stood up and walked towards the dining table.
Abel followed her to set up the breakfast and went over to help Chu Luo entertain Anya.
“Honored Princess Anya, my mistress is having breakfast. Do you want to eat some pastries? After my mistress came here, Master has asked the chef to only cook Imperial cuisine. Coincidentally, the chef prepared green bean cake this morning.”
Anya was in no mood to eat, but she still said, “Thank you, but no need.”
Then Abel went out.
As a princess of the royal family, Anya had had an excellent upbringing. She didn’t want to interrupt Chu Luo’s meal, so she subconsciously looked out of the window.
At this moment, there was no sign of the two men in the open space.
Anya sighed in her heart.
At this moment, two sets of footsteps came from the door.
Li Yan and Qin Ming walked in one after another.
Li Yan glanced coldly at Anya, who was smiling at him and about to greet him. After silencing her, he said to Qin Ming, “Treat her with hospitality.”
After saying that, he walked straight towards Chu Luo.
Chu Luo was eating porridge. Li Yan walked to her side and pulled out a chair to sit down. He didn’t say anything and just looked at her.
Chu Luo couldn’t stand being stared at anymore and said in an annoyed tone, “Don’t sit here.”
Li Yan frowned. “There’s an outsider at home. I don’t like sitting with outsiders.”
Chu Luo: “…”
Anya, who was trying to find something to say to Li Yan: “…”
Chu Luo stared at Li Yan for a few seconds before looking away to continue eating her breakfast.
Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Wang Mingtao.
Wang Mingtao said to her over the phone, “Sister Chu, the seniors drank too much last night and aren’t up yet. Our schedule might be delayed today.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she asked, “When did they go back last night?”
Wang Mingtao: “When it was almost eleven. It was Senior Tang who called me and asked me to go down to pick them up.”
Chu Luo asked, “How did they react when you went down?”
Wang Mingtao smiled and said, “Sister Chu, are you asking if they’ve gone crazy from alcohol? No. The seniors are all very good at drinking. It’s just that Senior Xie drank too much and talked too much. When I brought them back, Senior Xie pulled me and talked for at least an hour.”
Chu Luo asked, “Was Dave drunk when you went down there?”
Wang Mingtao: “He’s drunk too. Dave looked like he’s the drunkest. When I got there, he had just come out from vomiting in the bathroom.”
Chu Luo was speechless. “Why did they drink so much?”
After saying that, she thought for a while and added, “I’ll come over later.”
With that, she hung up and continued eating.
After breakfast, Chu Luo glanced at Li Yan, then at Anya, who was sitting on the sofa. “I’m leaving.”
After saying that, she stood up.
Li Yan stood up as well. “I’ll go with you.”
“Eh…” Why was this person following her?
Anya, who had been watching them, stood up from the sofa when she saw them standing up.
She looked at Chu Luo and Li Yan walking over and asked Chu Luo, “Chu, are you going out?”
“Mm.” Chu Luo nodded.
She continued walking towards the door.
Anya wanted to follow.
At this moment, Qin Ming stood up from the side and blocked her path.
Anya was a little anxious. She stuck her head out and asked Chu Luo, “Chu, you haven’t agreed to be my friend.”
Chu Luo, who had walked to the door, stopped and turned to look at Anya. “I think the person you’re looking for is Li Yan. I don’t have time to play with you. If you have something to say, just tell Li Yan.”
With that, she walked out of the door.
Anya wanted to explain. “Chu, I…”
Unexpectedly, Chu Luo had already walked out.
Li Yan was a step behind. Anya quickly called out, “Li.”
Li Yan also stopped. Without looking back, he ordered Qin Ming in a cold tone, “Send Princess Anya out.”
After saying that, he walked out.
“Hey…” Anya was really anxious this time and wanted to go around Qin Ming to chase after them.
At this moment, a strong arm blocked her path. “Princess Anya, Master wants me to send you out. Please.”
Anya looked at the tall and burly Qin Ming in front of her. If she didn’t have to maintain her princess-like demeanor, she would have stamped her feet in anxiousness.
She took a deep breath to suppress her anxious feelings. Nodding at him, she walked out of the door.
…
After Chu Luo and Li Yan left, the chauffeur drove over.
Chu Luo said to the chauffeur, “I’ll drive.”
The chauffeur glanced at Li Yan before getting out of the driver’s seat.
Chu Luo sat in the driver’s seat. Li Yan walked around the front of the car and got into the front passenger seat.
Chu Luo: “…Don’t follow me.”
Li Yan glanced at her and said, “I’m going to the office. You can give me a ride.”
Only then did Chu Luo drive the car out.
…
When Anya and Qin Ming walked out, they happened to see the car driving out of the villa’s iron gate. Anya couldn’t help but ask Qin Ming, “When did Li’s legs recover?”
Qin Ming only glanced at her. With a cold and rigid tone, he said, “No comment.”
He even warned her, “You’d better not gossip about Master’s matter.”
Anya was furious. “How dare you! Do you know who you are talking to?”
She could tolerate Li Yan’s coldness towards her because she had something to ask of him, but since Li Yan’s subordinate dared to be so cold towards her, as a princess, she couldn’t tolerate it at all.
Qin Ming remained rigid. “I know. You are the princess of this country.”
“Then you…”
“I’m not from here.”
“…”
Anya realized that she was at odds with everyone here. She decided to go back and think of a better solution before coming.
However, she was furious!
Qin Ming looked at Princess Anya, who was exuding anger, and walked towards the car parked outside the villa. He turned around and walked into the garage.
…
After Chu Luo had driven Li Yan out of the street, she saw several cars parked there with a dozen bodyguards standing around. The door of the main car in the middle opened and a bodyguard moved a wheelchair out to take Li Yan down.
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan, who was sitting in the wheelchair, and was puzzled. “How long do you plan to sit in the wheelchair for?”
Li Yan replied, “Two months at most.”
Then, he said, “If you want to go out and play, you can call Qin Ming and ask him to send a few bodyguards to you.”
Chu Luo looked at his legs and thought that this person must be up to something major again. She didn’t ask anything more and only said, “I don’t want a bodyguard.”
With that, she stepped on the accelerator and left.
After Li Yan got into the car, his phone rang.
After he picked up the call, his expression darkened. “Block them all.”
Then he hung up.
