The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute.

Chapter 197: Li Yan Is About to Lose Everything. Miss Chu, Why Don’t You Consider Becoming My Woman?

Before Chu Luo could speak, Wang Mingtao stood in front of her and shielded her behind him. He asked warily, “Who is your young master? Why is he asking for my Sister Chu?”

The bodyguard said with a serious expression, “Irrelevant parties must please leave immediately.”

When Wang Mingtao heard this, he was furious. “With that attitude of yours, it’s obvious you’re not a good person. If you want to take my Sister Chu away, you have to ask my fist for permission…”

The bodyguard suddenly attacked, wanting to grab his fist.

However, just before he grabbed Wang Mingtao, something suddenly flew over and flicked him. It immediately hurt so much that the muscles on his face twitched a few times. He subconsciously used his other hand to cover the spot where he had been struck and looked at Chu Luo in shock.

Chu Luo walked out from behind Wang Mingtao and said with a cold face, “If you dare to touch my friend again, I’ll cripple your arm.”

“You…”

Just as this bodyguard was about to speak, another bodyguard standing beside him quickly pulled him back and used his gaze to tell him not to be rash.

He said to Chu Luo politely, “Miss Chu, my young master’s surname is Duanmu. He’s waiting for you at a cafe not far away. Young Master said that he wanted to talk to you about Master Li. You’ll definitely be interested.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she subconsciously frowned. There weren’t many people with the Duanmu surname to begin with. In the capital, the only family who could talk to her about Li Yan was the Duanmu family.

At the thought of this, she said to Wang Mingtao, “Mingtao, go back first.”

“Sister Chu, they…” Wang Mingtao was worried about these two people. He kept feeling that they and their young master didn’t have good intentions towards Chu Luo.

Chu Luo tilted her head and looked at Wang Mingtao with a serious gaze.

Wang Mingtao was actually stunned by her gaze.

Chu Luo asked, “Do you think they can deal with me?”

Wang Mingtao knew about Chu Luo’s skills and thought that she might have a plan. He thought that he would be more of a hindrance than a help if he went.

In the end, he nodded at her and said before leaving, “Sister Chu, I’ll call you in an hour.”

If no one answered, he would call the police.

Chu Luo nodded.

Only then did Wang Mingtao leave.

Chu Luo said to the two bodyguards, “Lead the way.”

With that, she walked over to open the car door. The bodyguard that she had flicked wanted to stop her and make her get into their car, but he was stopped by the other bodyguard.

The other bodyguard said, “Miss Chu, please.”

After saying that, she walked towards their car with the bodyguards.

Chu Luo followed them to a cafe not far away.

As it was a holiday, there weren’t many people in the shops outside the school.

In particular, there were a few bodyguards standing by the door of this coffee shop. It seemed like the entire place had been booked.

When she reached the door, the two bodyguards stopped and Chu Luo walked in alone.

She saw a man in a wine-red suit with his hair gelled back, revealing his entire forehead. He looked elegant and handsome as he sat at the piano in the middle, playing it.

The man’s fingers were long and he played the piano well.

When Chu Luo walked over, the man tilted his head and glanced at her before turning back to continue playing the piano.

Chu Luo stopped five steps away from the man.

After she finished playing the song, the man stood up and walked up to Chu Luo. He first sized her up before his lips suddenly curled into a meaningful smile. “As expected of the woman Li Yan has his eyes on. Very charming indeed.”

Chu Luo looked at him coldly and didn’t reply.

The man extended his hand to her. “Let me introduce myself. I’m Duanmu Tian.”

Chu Luo looked at his hand but didn’t reach for it. “Mr. Duanmu, you can speak frankly if you have anything to say. I still have something to attend to and don’t have time to chat with you.”

“Haha…” Duanmu Tian suddenly laughed, looking a little delighted. He said, “You are the first woman who has dared to speak to me like this.”

The corners of Chu Luo’s lips twitched. She walked towards the nearest table and sat down. “Didn’t you want to treat me to coffee? Coincidentally, I’m a little thirsty too. Waiter, help me get a glass of water.”

“Miss Chu doesn’t like coffee?”

“Yes. Compared to the coffee from overseas, I prefer tea.”

“In that case, I’ll treat Miss Chu to tea.” After Duanmu Tian finished speaking, he said to the service staff standing there, “Make two cups of tea.”

“But…”

The service staff looked troubled. Just as she was about to say that they didn’t have tea here, the manager, who had been standing at the side, quickly walked over to answer, “Okay, Young Master Duanmu and Young Lady. Please wait for a moment.”

With that, he took the waiter away.

Duanmu Tian leaned back in his chair, looking very casual. However, it didn’t reduce the noble aura that he exuded.

He looked at Chu Luo and said, “Miss Chu must be very curious about how I know about you.”

“I’m not curious,” Chu Luo said. “In any case, it wasn’t Li Yan who told you.”

“Haha…” Duanmu Tian laughed again. He placed one arm on the table and leaned towards her. “No wonder Li Yan, who’s such a cold person, would fall for Miss Chu. Miss Chu is a very interesting girl.”

Chu Luo tapped her fingers on the table and said impatiently, “I said that I won’t chat with Mr. Duanmu. Mr. Duanmu, if you have something to say, just say it. Otherwise, I’ll leave.”

“Miss Chu, don’t be in such a hurry. You will definitely be interested in what I say.” Duanmu Tian leaned back in his chair and said directly, “Li Yan owes our Duanmu family a favor. He must return this favor.”

Chu Luo looked at him.

“Our current request is for him to give the entire Blazing Glory to the Duanmu family.”

The corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up. She knew that Duanmu Tian was lying, but she didn’t expose him. She only asked in confusion, “Why is Mr. Duanmu telling me this?”

“I just wanted to tell you that Li Yan is about to lose everything. Miss Chu, why don’t you consider becoming my woman?”

“Ha!”

At this moment, Chu Luo’s phone suddenly rang. She took it out but didn’t answer it immediately. Instead, she placed it on the table and looked at Duanmu Tian.

When Duanmu Tian saw the words on the caller ID, a dark glint flashed across his eyes.

“Big Baddie… could that be Miss Chu’s nickname for Li Yan?”

“Yes.” Chu Luo didn’t deny it.

Duanmu Tian immediately sat up straight and placed his hands on the table. He subconsciously curled his fingers, but his expression remained the same. “Why doesn’t Miss Chu answer it? If you don’t believe me, you can ask him. However… I wonder how much Miss Chu knows about Li Yan and Blazing Glory?”

At this point, he stared at Chu Luo and quickly said, “Back then, he had used everything in his power to obtain Blazing Glory. Don’t you want to know which is more important to him—you or Blazing Glory?”

Chu Luo looked at his subconscious action and smiled. She nodded. “You’re right. I should ask.”

With that, she picked up the call as Duanmu Tian straightened his body.

At the same time, she put him on speaker.

“Li Yan,” Chu Luo said, calling his name.

Li Yan’s voice could be heard over the phone; it was filled with suppressed coldness and ruthlessness. “Luoluo, where are you?”

“At a cafe not far from Imperial University.” After saying that, Chu Luo added, “With Duanmu Tian.”

Li Yan was silent for two seconds before asking, “What did he say to you?”

Chu Luo repeated honestly, “He said that you owe the Duanmu family a huge favor. The Duanmu family wants you to hand over the Blazing Glory Corporation.”

Li Yan asked Duanmu Tian, “Duanmu Tian, can you say this on behalf of the Duanmu family?”

Duanmu Tian’s expression changed. The calmness and composure that he had used to scare Chu Luo earlier were gone. He quickly said, “I was just joking with Miss Chu.”

“But I took it seriously.”

“I took it seriously.”

Chu Luo and Li Yan spoke at the same time, the latter through the phone.

Li Yan said, “If you like Blazing Glory, then take it. Don’t keep saying I owe you people anymore. I won’t interfere with Old Master’s matters anymore.”

Duanmu Tian was anxious. “Li Yan, my grandfather saved your life. How can you be so cold-blooded as to say such things!”

Li Yan’s voice was cold. “Since you people didn’t keep your promise, why can’t I be cold-blooded?”

Duanmu Tian’s expression turned ugly. “Li Yan, how dare you say that? Do you think I won’t immediately tell Chu Luo about you?”

Chu Luo said, “Go ahead, I’m all ears.”

Duanmu Tian: “…”

A deep chuckle came from the other end of the line. After laughing, Li Yan said, “Luoluo, what do you want to hear? You can come back and ask me.”

“But I like hearing people talk about you. It might be more exciting than if it came from you.”

“Mm, that’s possible. Then take your time and listen. I’ll come and get you later.”

“Okay.” Chu Luo suddenly thought of something. “Are you going to give your Blazing Glory to the Duanmu family or not?”

Li Yan replied indifferently, “My wife has the final say.”

Chu Luo thought for a while and said seriously, “Better not give it, then. What’s yours is mine. How can I give what is mine to others?”

Li Yan’s voice was warm. “Okay.”

Chu Luo replied, “I’m hanging up. I’m going to chat with Mr. Duanmu.”

Li Yan: “Okay.”

Chu Luo hung up the phone and, with her big, curious eyes, looked at Duanmu Tian, who had to maintain a calm expression despite feeling devastated inside. “You can tell me about Li Yan now.”

A string of curses flashed across Duanmu Tian’s mind.

Indeed, the woman Li Yan had his eye on wasn’t normal either!

The two of them were silent for a while before the manager personally sent over two cups of tea made with excellent tea leaves.

Only then did Duanmu Tian’s expression return to normal.

Looking at the steam floating out of the teacup, he was still feeling a little indignant. He said, “Miss Chu, as a famous daughter of the country, what do you think would happen if someone exposed your relationship with Li Yan?”
