Chapter 208 - How Dare You Drive in the Li Family Villa!

Anya looked at her warily.

Chu Luo didn’t mind. “If you don’t want to hear it, I won’t say it.”

After two seconds, Anya asked, “What is it?”

“When my cosmetics company is launched, help me publicize it in the upper-class circle of your country.”

“…” Anya thought to herself,?‘F*ck.’?She was clearly here to persuade Chu Luo and Li Yan. Why did things turn out like this in the end? Chu Luo’s words might sound like a suggestion, but she could hear the threat in them.

She, a princess of a country, was being threatened!

At the thought of this, Anya felt awful in every way.

She was a princess of a country. Why did she have to suffer such grievances?

Chu Luo watched as Anya’s expression changed a few times. She turned around and walked towards the gate of the villa.

Seeing her leave, Anya panicked. “Can you promise that Li will continue to pay taxes?”

“You can discuss this with Li Yan.”

Anya: “…”

Chu Luo and Anya walked into the villa one after another. Li Yan and Qin Ming were sitting on the sofa opposite each other. At this moment, Qin Ming was saying something to him.

The moment the two of them entered, Qin Ming shut his mouth.

Li Yan looked at Chu Luo.

Chu Luo blinked at him. There was that sparkle in her eyes that appeared whenever she had successfully tricked someone.

Li Yan’s cold expression instantly disappeared.

Anya, who was walking behind her, didn’t see Chu Luo’s expression. The moment she entered, she looked at Li Yan and said, “Li, Chu said that as long as I agree to promote her cosmetics in my country, Blazing Glory Corporation will continue to pay taxes.”

Chu Luo stopped and turned to correct her. “Wrong. I said you could talk to Li Yan.”

Anya wanted to glare at Chu Luo, but she didn’t dare.

Now, whenever she saw Chu Luo, she would think of her abilities and feel frightened.

Li Yan finally looked up at her and said, “Sit.”

Anya walked over and saw Chu Luo sitting beside Li Yan with Qin Ming opposite her. In the end, she decided to find a seat beside him.

The two of them started talking.

Chu Luo then realized that Anya was actually quite good at negotiation. She would advance and retreat when necessary.

Furthermore, Li Yan had said that if Blazing Glory wanted to earn more money in her country, it was necessary to give its citizens some benefits (taxes). He had all along refused to compromise because he wanted to make those people in her country understand Blazing Glory’s importance.

Thus, Chu Luo had already guessed what the outcome would be.

The two of them would definitely talk for a while. Chu Luo was bored and said to Li Yan, “I’m going out to shop.”

“Bring your phone.”

“Mm.”

Chu Luo took her phone and walked out.

As soon as Chu Luo walked out, the butler, who had followed her back, said to her, “Miss Chu, do you need a car?”

The Li family villa was huge. It was so big that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to finish strolling it in a day or two.

Chu Luo thought for a while. Having decorated the villa last time, she could go check it out since she was here today. She nodded.

The butler quickly got someone to drive a car over.

When the butler opened the car door for her, he asked, “Miss Chu, do you want me to drive for you?”

“No need. I’ll use the GPS.”

The butler stepped aside and said, “Miss Chu, you can drive as much as you want. There won’t be anyone in the villa.”

“Thank you, Butler.”

Chu Luo got into the car and drove out.

The car drove along the road to the villa and would occasionally pass by the bodyguards on patrol. When they saw the car driving over, they would move to the side and make way beforehand.

When the car drove past, these people would think:?‘So this is the future madam.’

Chu Luo kept driving.

As she drove, she saw that there were fewer people on patrol here, and she got into the mood for racing. She stepped on the accelerator and drove it like a sports car.

After some time, a woman suddenly appeared in front.

When the woman saw the car driving over, she seemed to have been scared stiff and stood in the middle without moving.

Chu Luo pursed her lips and quickly pressed the horn to brake. However, she was too fast. Even if she stepped on the brakes, she couldn’t stop the car immediately. The car was about to hit that woman.

The woman was so frightened that her legs went limp. She fell to the ground and screamed.

“Ah…”

However, in the next second, she widened her eyes in disbelief and stared at the car flying over her head. She was dumbfounded.

Chu Luo parked the car behind the woman, turned off the engine, opened the door, and got out.

“Are you okay?”

The woman suddenly turned to look at Chu Luo with a frightened expression.

“You…”

“Hm?” Chu Luo looked at the woman, who was pale from fright. She walked up to her and asked, “Do you need me to help you up?”

The woman was about to speak when a figure suddenly rushed over from the side.

Before the figure could get close, it shouted in a frightened tone, “Miss, what’s wrong with you?”

Chu Luo looked at the middle-aged woman who rushed over and took a step back.

The moment the middle-aged woman ran to the woman sitting on the ground, her pained voice changed. “Miss, what happened to you? Who pushed you to the ground?”

After saying that, she suddenly turned to look at Chu Luo. Her face darkened as if she was looking at an enemy, and she said sternly, “Did you push my miss to the ground? My miss has been frail since she was young. If she suffers any injuries or catches a cold, I will definitely not let you off.”

Chu Luo originally wanted to apologize, but when she saw that the middle-aged woman didn’t distinguish between right and wrong, she became a little unhappy.

Without looking at the middle-aged woman, her gaze shifted to the woman, who was still very pale, and she asked, “Did you suffer any injuries from the fall? Do you need me to call a doctor for you?”

“What kind of attitude is that?” the middle-aged woman shouted angrily. “Do you think any doctor can treat my miss?”

When Chu Luo heard this, the corners of her lips twitched. She asked rudely, “Could it be that your miss has something that she can’t talk about and can’t see a doctor for?”

“What are you talk…”

“Auntie Zhang, stop talking.” This lady finally spoke, her voice soft.

The woman said, “It’s not your fault, Sister. I was out for a stroll and didn’t see your car. I thought the car was going to hit me and got scared.”

“Drive?!” The middle-aged woman widened her eyes in shock. “Who are you? How dare you drive here? Do you know whose villa this is?”

Chu Luo tilted her head and asked, “Isn’t it Li Yan’s villa?”

“How dare you call Master Li by his name!” The middle-aged woman’s voice was so sharp that Chu Luo wanted to dig her ears.

It was too ear-piercing.

She blinked her big, curious eyes and asked, “Could it be that Li Yan’s name can’t be uttered?” She called him that every day, but he didn’t say anything.

The young woman pulled the middle-aged woman up. “Auntie Zhang, help me up.”

“Oh, oh, Miss, it’s Auntie Zhang’s fault. Get up quickly.”

Auntie Zhang quickly helped the young woman up and checked if there were any bumps on her body before saying with a pained heart, “Miss, you’re not feeling well. Why did you come out alone at night? If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to Old Master, Madam, and Third Madam?”

The young woman said softly, “I was just bored staying in the room and wanted to come out for a walk.”

“You should have called Auntie Zhang along if you’re taking a stroll. If I’m with you, let’s see who’d still dare to bully you.”

“Hey, hey, hey…” Chu Luo, who’d originally planned to wait for the two of them to finish speaking, was displeased. “What do you mean by who’d dare to bully her?” Chu Luo looked at the young woman. “Did I bully you?”

The young woman bit her lips and put on a soft and pitiful look. “No. I didn’t move aside when I saw the car coming.”

“It’s not your fault at all, Miss!” Auntie Zhang said in a sharp voice. “You’re not well and can’t do strenuous exercise to begin with. Moreover, outsiders are not allowed to drive in the Li family villa. If Third Madam were to find out about this, this girl would definitely be finished.”

Chu Luo felt that the two people in front of her were extremely interesting. One was the modern version of Lin Daiyu[1] while the other was the modern version of Nanny Rong[2]. (Don’t ask her how she knew about Nanny Rong.) Just looking at them gave her goosebumps. She didn’t want to talk to these two anymore and directly took out her phone to call Li Yan.

She had to confirm who these two were and see if she should give Li Yan face and teach them a lesson.

The call went through quickly. Li Yan’s cold voice came through the phone with an indescribable charm. “Luoluo.”

Chu Luo asked, “Is driving forbidden in your villa?”

Li Yan corrected her, “Our villa.”

Chu Luo pursed her lips. That wasn’t the main point, okay?

Unexpectedly, Li Yan immediately guessed something and asked in a low voice, “Who dared to say that you can’t drive in our villa?”

Chu Luo looked at the two women opposite her and said, “One is a pampered young lady and the other is a good servant.”

Li Yan said to Qin Ming, “See where Luoluo is?”

Qin Ming quickly told him the location.

Li Yan’s voice became even colder. “Who dares to criticize you? You can just beat them to death and throw them out.”

“…” The corners of Chu Luo’s lips twitched. “Don’t be so violent. Our family needs to be more peaceful.”

Li Yan’s tone instantly softened. “Then take your time playing. Once you’re done, you can throw the ‘blind’ one out.”

“Okay,” Chu Luo answered happily and hung up.

She then looked at the two women staring at her and asked, “Who are you to Li Yan?”

“My miss is…”

“Auntie Zhang, stop it.” The young woman looked at Chu Luo, and her eyes flickered. She gently interrupted Auntie Zhang and said to Chu Luo, “We are guests here. My aunt is Master Li’s third aunt. Miss, I’m sorry, but my health has been poor since I was young. Auntie Zhang was too anxious.”

After saying that, she tugged at Auntie Zhang’s arm and said to her, “Auntie Zhang, let’s go back. Otherwise, Auntie will be anxious.”

Chu Luo looked at the young woman who wanted to leave and smiled slightly. She said, “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. I startled you. If you get sick, I have to take responsibility for you.”

“Miss, you’re too soft-hearted. That’s why you let people bully you.” Auntie Zhang glared at Chu Luo. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that she was a vixen who might be here to seduce Master Li.

She directly mocked and ridiculed, “You look like a vixen, yet you want to strut around the Li residence… If the Third Madam were to find out about this, she would definitely make you leave the Li family villa immediately.”

“Oh? Your third madam, that third aunt of Li Yan’s, is actually so capable?”

Chu Luo pursed her lips. “You make me want to see her.”

“Then I’ll fulfill your wish!” Auntie Zhang wanted to pull Chu Luo’s arm.

The young woman wanted to pull her back but didn’t manage to.
