The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute.

Chapter 81: Are You Praising Me for Being Pretty?

Everyone subconsciously looked at the person who spoke.

It was a thin boy with a sharp chin and red lips. He had a pair of narrow eyes and looked more feminine.

Tang Zhiyun’s expression turned cold. “Xue Hui, stop stirring up trouble here.”

“I’m stirring trouble? Am I wrong?! Today’s public lecture is so important. It’s fine if you brought two children, but you even brought a girl who looks like this. If you’re not here to stir trouble, what are you doing?”

Chu Luo didn’t expect this person to talk about her appearance directly. A trace of displeasure flashed across her eyes, but the corners of her lips curled up.

Before Tang Zhiyun could speak, she asked in a clear and pleasant voice, sounding baffled, “Are you praising me for being pretty?”

At this point, her eyes turned cold. “If the presence of a pretty girl affects you, then it’s better for you to leave as soon as possible because you’re destined to not amount to anything. You might as well go home and farm now.”

“You…”

“Am I wrong?”

How could Chu Luo give him a chance to speak? She pointed at the girls present.

“There are so many sisters here. You don’t talk about them and only talk about me. Are you implying that these sisters are ugly?”

Instantly, all the girls present shot daggers at Xue Hui.

“Stop trying to drive a wedge between us. When did I say that?”

In his anxiousness, Xue Hui stood up as if he wanted to beat Chu Luo up.

“Why? Do you want to fight?” Wang Mingtao, who finally found a chance to speak, stood up to roll up his sleeves.

Tang Zhiyun also stood in front of Chu Luo.

Chu Luo sneered. “Are you flying into a rage out of humiliation?”

The two boys sitting beside Xue Hui quickly tugged at him.

Xue Hui was glared at by all the girls, and Wang Mingtao looked like he was ready to fight with him at any moment. No matter how angry he was, he suppressed his anger and sat down.

Wang Mingtao sneered. “I’m a black belt in Taekwondo. If you want to fight with me, I can crush you with one hand!”

Chu Luo retracted her gaze from Xue Hui and glanced at Wang Mingtao before looking at Tang Zhiyun.

“Sorry, I didn’t expect to meet this person. I’ve implicated you.”

Chu Luo shook her head. “It’s okay. Where are your friends? Let’s go over and sit down first. The teacher should be coming soon.”

Tang Zhiyun was a little surprised by Chu Luo’s reaction. He nodded at her and walked towards his friends with the two of them.

“Boss, why do you bother with that eccentric Xue Hui? That person is just itching for a beating. One day, he’ll become obedient after being beaten up.”

The person who spoke seemed to be unable to stand Xue Hui. After speaking, he immediately turned to Chu Luo and greeted her enthusiastically, “Hello, Junior. My name is Xie Minghai. Which faculty are you from?”

He pointed to the seat beside him. “Come and sit, Junior.”

Worried that Xie Minghai’s enthusiasm might scare Chu Luo, Tang Zhiyun went over to sit beside him first, then said to Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao, “Have a seat.”

Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao sat down.

Xie Minghai tilted his head and complained to Tang Zhiyun in a low voice, “You’re not being a good pal. Why did you bring such a beautiful girl and not introduce her to us?”

Tang Zhiyun warned him in a low voice, “Don’t give me that ‘I’ve never seen a pretty girl before’ face. She is still a child. Don’t scare her.”

Xie Minghai was indignant. “What kind of face is that? I’m just admiring her. Moreover, a beauty like her should be reserved beforehand. If we waited until she found a boyfriend, we’d stand no chance at all.”

Tang Zhiyun said, “How do you know that she doesn’t already have a boyfriend? The handsome dude sitting next to her might be her boyfriend.”

“Oh… Why are good-looking girls always reserved in advance?”

“Keep your voice down. Don’t let them hear you.”

Hearing their conversation, Chu Luo turned to look at them with a wooden face and said seriously, “He’s not my boyfriend.”

Tang Zhiyun and Xie Minghai were speechless.

How embarrassing!

Just then, the teacher arrived. Everyone immediately stopped talking and prepared to listen.

Chu Luo also listened seriously. Only Wang Mingtao, who was sitting with them, was confused. He couldn’t stand it anymore and started to doze.

Chu Luo could feel that the person beside her was about to snore. In order not to disturb the others, she directly tapped his sleeping acupoint.

Only after two hours did she unseal Wang Mingtao’s sleep acupoint.

They walked out of the classroom together. Tang Zhiyun had wanted Xie Minghai to help him get his laptop back to the dormitory.

But Xie Minghai ignored him and said to Chu Luo, “Junior, it’s almost noon. Let’s go have lunch together. Coincidentally, this place isn’t far from the fourth canteen. The stone pot fish and taro pork there are good. There are also many desserts that you girls like. I promise that you will be satisfied with them.”

Although Tang Zhiyun couldn’t stand Xie Minghai’s fawning behavior, looking at the time, he had no objections.

“After the meal, I’ll bring you guys to the technology building to take a look. If you’re lucky, you’ll even be able to see the Holographic Sensing Chamber developed by the PhD students.”

“What’s that?” Chu Luo was immediately interested.

“It’s a holographic projection that connects to one’s brain. As long as one lies in the holographic chamber, they can use their mental power to enter a game.”

“I know about that.” When Wang Mingtao heard that, he’d immediately interrupted excitedly. “I heard that the developer of ‘Battle of Lightyears’ plans to develop the game into a holographic game in the next two years. When that happens, we can directly experience the game.”

Chu Luo looked at Tang Zhiyun in surprise.

Tang Zhiyun nodded with a smile and said proudly, “‘Battle of Lightyears’ was developed by the Blazing Glory Corporation. Blazing Glory is the top international corporation in the world. Any product developed by them is bound to explode in popularity.

“Most importantly, Blazing Glory is developing the holographic chamber this time in cooperation with our Imperial University’s College of Engineering.”

Xie Minghai chimed in, “That’s why there have been a lot of people applying for a master’s degree and Phd degree in Imperial University’s computer science department in the past two years. If you want to enter the research center of the holographic chamber, you have to have a graduate degree or higher from Imperial University.”

Chu Luo nodded. “Sounds good.”

Wang Mingtao had a look of yearning. “Hearing you guys say that, I’m determined to enroll in Imperial University’s College of Engineering. How can such a great research be done without my participation?”

Chu Luo glanced at Wang Mingtao.

Wang Mingtao grinned at her and was about to praise himself narcissistically.

At this moment, a furious voice came from not far away. “Tang Zhiyun, I didn’t expect you to be such a person!”

Everyone looked over.

They saw a good-looking girl with wavy hair standing not far away, looking at them with her fiery eyes.

“What’s going on?” Wang Mingtao looked at the girl and then at Tang Zhiyun. “Senior, is that your girlfriend?”

“No.” Tang Zhiyun’s expression was indescribable.

Xie Minghai, who was standing beside them, explained to them in a speechless tone, “That’s Zhang Ning, the belle of the English department at the College of Foreign Languages. Previously, Brother Tang did her a huge favor. Later on, she would come to look for Brother Tang for help from time to time.

“If Brother Tang didn’t help her, she would accuse him of avoiding her on purpose.

“The rumors about their relationship have been spreading like wildfire, but this person has never expressed his stand. Brother Tang doesn’t even dare to stay on campus when he has some free time these days.

“She must have gotten the wrong idea about her relationship with Brother Tang.”

After hearing the explanation, Chu Luo turned to Tang Zhiyun and asked, “Do you like her or not?”

“No,” Tang Zhiyun answered quickly. “I’ve told her clearly before that she is not my type.”

After Chu Luo heard this, she threw a stern look over.

Startled, Zhang Ning turned to gaze at Tang Zhiyun with watery eyes, as if she was looking at a faithless lover.

Wang Mingtao and Xie Minghai rubbed the goosebumps on their arms and exclaimed, “I can’t stand it! I can’t stand it!”

Tang Zhiyun said helplessly, “Zhang Ning, I have explained everything to you clearly. You can ask other people for help sometimes. I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea.”

“How is it the wrong idea!” Zhang Ning stomped her feet and looked like she was about to cry. She pointed at Chu Luo and said, “Have you fallen for her?”

Chu Luo kept frowning at Zhang Ning. Actually, their matter had nothing to do with her, but since she was dragged into it, she couldn’t just ignore it.

Chu Luo rolled her eyes and suddenly called out, “Cousin.”

The way she addressed him was crisp and pleasant to the ears.

All the boys present looked at her. Chu Luo blinked at Tang Zhiyun and asked deliberately, “Didn’t you tell this sister that I am your cousin?”

The three boys were stunned by Chu Luo’s words, but Zhang Ning asked suspiciously, “Are you Zhiyun’s cousin?”

“That’s right.” Chu Luo lifted her chin slightly. “My mother is his father’s biological sister, so I’m his cousin. Any problems?”

After she said that, she suddenly scanned Zhang Ning’s body and showed a look of disdain. “He has such a pretty cousin. Even if his girlfriend isn’t as pretty as me, at least she can’t be someone who is only slightly better than a crooked melon.”

She even gestured just how much “slightly better” the girl was with two fingers.

Chu Luo’s words were simply inhuman. Zhang Ning was so angry that her face contorted.

She gritted her teeth and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Can’t you tell? That makes sense… with your intelligence, you’re clinging to Cousin even though he only helped you out of goodwill. You definitely won’t be able to understand what I’m saying.”

As Chu Luo spoke, she strode towards her.
