Chapter 12: Give Me the Jade Pendant and I’ll Treat Your Leg
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chu Luo quietly reached into her jeans pocket, thinking that if these people dared to do anything to her, she would just drug them.
At this moment, the middle-aged man turned the wheelchair around.
Chu Luo looked up. The minute she saw the man’s gorgeous face, she knew who he was.
Then, her eyes met with that pair of cold eyes.
Chu Luo gazed into those eyes fearlessly for a moment. Then, her gaze moved to his legs before shifting back to his face.
At this moment, a gust of evening wind blew past, ruffling Li Yan’s hair and flipping his shirt collar.
When the man’s fair neck was revealed, a corner of the jade pendant on his neck was also revealed.
When Chu Luo saw the jade pendant, her eyes widened and ecstasy surged from the bottom of her heart.
“My Phoenix Jade Pendant is with him!”
This phoenix jade pendant was the most crucial part of her recovery ability. She had to get it.
At this thought, she walked towards Li Yan.
“Stop right there.”
The two bodyguards standing in front of her stopped her at the same time.
Annoyed, Chu Luo pulled a long face. Her eyes shifted and she said loudly to Li Yan, “Hey, how about you give me the jade pendant on your neck in exchange for me treating your leg?”
As soon as Chu Luo finished speaking, a strong, cold pressure hit her. The surroundings were so quiet that only the rustling of leaves could be heard.
Chu Luo wasn’t affected by the cold aura at all. Instead, she curled her lips and continued, “I heard that many famous international doctors couldn’t cure your leg. Besides hiring famous doctors, you also invited many other experts. But none of them can cure your leg. Don’t you feel tempted upon hearing that I can cure it?”
The moment Chu Luo finished speaking, the expression of the stern middle-aged man standing behind Li Yan suddenly cracked.
This little girl actually dared to negotiate with his young master!
Li Yan’s gaze turned even more icy.
Chu Luo thought for a while and asked in confusion, “Could it be that besides being unable to walk, you can’t speak?”

“How dare you! My master…”
“Hey! I’m not asking you!”
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan, displeased. “Are you going to do this deal or not?”
In any case, she would find a way to get the jade back regardless of whether they made a deal or not.
Just then, someone’s phone suddenly rang.
She froze for a moment, wondering why the owner of that ringing phone didn’t answer it.
It wasn’t until she felt all the bodyguards standing near her staring at her warily that she realized that she was the owner of that ringing phone.
She calmly took out her phone to answer the call. Chu Zhengyang’s displeased voice immediately came from the other end. “Luoluo, didn’t I tell you to follow Tingting? Where did you run off to?”
Chu Luo replied seriously, “I’m in the villa.”
Only then did Chu Zhengyang’s tone improve. He said, “Come to the front of the villa quickly. We’re going back soon.”
“Okay.”
Chu Luo hung up and looked at Li Yan.
“Hey, you haven’t answered my question.”
Li Yan continued staring at her coldly.
Chu Luo frowned and thought that this person must be mute. She wanted to speak again, but her phone rang once more.
Again, it was Chu Zhengyang.
Chu Zhengyang said, “Come directly to the car. We’ll wait for you there.”
He sounded like he was in a hurry to leave.
Chu Luo responded to him, then put away her phone and glanced at the young man. “After you think it through, give me a call. My number is…”
At this point, she suddenly stopped. How could she recall her number when the original Chu Luo never remembered her number?
However, she definitely wouldn’t reveal something so embarrassing. She said seriously, “After you’ve made up your mind, just get someone to look up my number.”
With that, she went past the two bodyguards and ran towards the villa.
The bodyguards wanted to stop her, but Li Yan suddenly raised his hand and the middle-aged man quickly said, “No need to stop her.”
After Chu Luo left, the middle-aged man lowered his head slightly.
“Master?”
Li Yan said, “Go check on her.” His voice was cold, matching his aura.
“Yes, Master.”
…
When Chu Luo walked out, Chu Zhengyang and Chu Ting were standing beside the car.
When the two of them saw Chu Luo walk out, Chu Zhengyang only said, “Get in,” before getting into the car himself.
Chu Ting first sized up Chu Luo before an excited glow flickered past her eyes.
Chu Luo walked in front of Chu Ting and suddenly stopped to whisper into her ear, “Chu Ting, do you think that you can bully me as you please now that I’ve been poisoned with Gu by that middle-aged man?”
Chu Ting’s eyes widened. “You…”
Chu Luo arched her lips at her, but there was a murderous look in her eyes. “You’d better tighten your skin a little. I’m going to make you very uncomfortable going forward~”
Chu Ting’s body trembled for no reason. She quickly calmed herself down and, with a cold snort, hurriedly boarded the car and sat beside Chu Zhengyang.
After the car drove out, Chu Ting took out her phone and started typing.
Chu Zhengyang asked the two of them, “I heard from your form teacher that you won’t have a month off for the last two months. When the time comes, do you want to come back to stay, or do you want me to rent an apartment near the school and let your mother go over to take care of you?”
Chu Ting was busy sending messages to the middle-aged man. When the other party didn’t reply for a long time, her heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale.
She glared at Chu Luo fiercely, feeling a mix of hatred and fear.
Chu Luo replied indifferently, “I don’t mind it either way.”
Chu Zhengyang looked at Chu Ting.
Although Chu Ting didn’t believe that Chu Luo had the ability to do anything to the middle-aged man, when she recalled the pain of not being able to speak previously, she said in a rude and unreasonable tone, “With my results, it doesn’t matter where I live. I think Chu Luo should go to an apartment near the school. This way, she can save more time to study.”
Chu Zhengyang turned to Chu Luo.
Chu Luo repeated the same thing, “I don’t mind it either way.”
Chu Zhengyang nodded. “I’ll discuss this with your mother.”
Chu Zhengyang went to the hospital and discussed the matter with Wei Wei.
When Wei Wei heard this, a thought came to her mind and she said directly, “Then let Luoluo stay in an apartment near the school. The last two months are so important. Even if we buy her a spot in a university to study in the future, it will be less embarrassing for us if she scored a few points higher in the exam.”
Chu Zhengyang didn’t agree immediately.
Wei Wei added, “Send one of the servants to take care of her. Are you afraid that she won’t be able to eat well or wear warm clothes?”
In her heart, however, she thought, ‘As long as she moves out, I don’t give a damn if she’s dead or alive.’

Chu Zhengyang thought about it and nodded. “Alright, then, I’ll let Luoluo know when I go back tonight and get someone to move her things over.”

So the next day, Chu Luo packed her luggage early in the morning and was sent to the apartment by the chauffeur.
When Chu Luo left, Chu Ting was still in bed. Chu Zhengyang returned the card that he took that day to Chu Luo and said in a complicated tone, “I got my secretary to transfer you two months’ worth of living expenses. Do eat your lunch well in school.”

Chu Luo took the card and nodded. Without saying anything, she got into the car and went to the apartment.
The apartment was located in a school district and came with two bedrooms and one living room. She would occupy one bedroom while the servant who came over to take care of her would occupy the other. It was much better than her bedroom at the Chu residence.

After taking a look at the apartment, she headed to school.
At the same time, all the information regarding Chu Luo, the Chu family, and those related to the Chu family had been sent to Li Yan.
