Chapter 550: Transferring School
The atmosphere fell silent and even Jiang Yan stopped crying.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I might as well tell you the truth. The information in Second Uncle Chu’s hands was actually given by Ah Yan.”
The duo froze on the spot.
Chu Yan looked at Jiang Yan and said, “Second Uncle has already given you a lot of face. If this goes on, even your Jiang family won’t be able to escape.”
“How—how did you know?”
Jiang Yan thought that she had done it secretly.
“You thought that you could hide your tricks from the world, but you didn’t know that as long as one wanted to investigate, one would definitely be able to find out.”
Chu Yan looked at her expressionlessly and said, “For Second Uncle’s sake, I can let bygones be bygones that you used crooked methods to harm Grandpa and me. However, if you still want to continue causing trouble in the future, don’t blame me for not giving Second Uncle face.”
The other party was obviously a seventeen-year-old boy, but Jiang Yan felt an inexplicable fear, the kind that came from her bones.
“Grandpa will be back tomorrow. I hope you can leave the Chu family by today.”
After speaking, Chu Yan pulled Lu Sheng upstairs.
Unexpectedly, Chu Lin went forward and blocked their path.
“Chu Yan, who do you think you are? Do you think my mother has to listen to you just because you want her to leave? Moreover, how can nephews force their uncle and aunt to divorce?”
“Ha—”
Chu Yan sneered. “Chu Lin, you have to understand that it was Second Uncle’s intention to divorce your mother. It has nothing to do with me.”
After speaking, he pulled Chu Lin away and led Lu Sheng upstairs.
“Lin Er, you… you have to listen to your father in the Chu family. I… I’ll leave first!”
Jiang Yan sniffed with tears in her eyes and left with her bag.
Chu Lin shouted and chased after her. However, he could not catch up to the car.
He glared at the second floor, where Chu Yan’s room was, and his hatred for Chu Yan increased.
Old Master came back the next day. During the gathering, no one asked when they did not find Jiang Yan around.
On the other hand, after knowing that Chu Hongqing and Jiang Yan had gotten a divorce, Butler Hong was extremely anxious.
At night, Old Master called him to the study room.
In the study room, Chu Hongzhong, Chu Hongqing, and even Chu Yan were present.
“Why… Why did Old Master call me over?”
Butler Hong looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly had an ominous feeling.
“Butler Hong, you’ve worked in the Chu family for ten years, right?” Old Master asked.
“Ten… eleven years,” Butler Hong replied carefully.
“It’s been eleven years?” The Old Master sighed. “I’ve treated you well. The things I’ve given you all these years should add up to more than ten million yuan, right? Couldn’t it compare to two million yuan?”
Butler Hong immediately broke out in cold sweat, but he stubbornly refused to admit it. “I… don’t know what Old Master is saying.”
Old Master Chu smiled and shook his head, his face full of disappointment.
He took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of Butler Hong. “Hong Bo is your brother, right? Your brother is a disabled person who has never gone out for fifty years. He relies on you to hire someone to take care of him. Then, tell me, why did Second Madam give him money out of the blue?”
“It’s… It’s because I accidentally mentioned my brother to Second Madam and she felt pity for him…”
Bang!
Butler Hong was interrupted by a loud bang.
Old Master Chu put down the broken pipe in his hand and said sternly, “You’re still lying. Do you think we’re fools?”
Butler Hong shuddered and immediately knelt on the ground. “Old Master, please spare me! It’s me. I was blinded by greed and agreed to help Second Madam. Please spare me this once!”
“On account that you’ve done your best for the Chu family for so many years, I’ll spare you this once.”
When Butler Hong heard that, he kowtowed a few times happily. However, Old Master’s next words made him freeze on the spot.
“Pack up and leave the Chu family today.”
He was shocked. “Old Master!”
“Don’t say anything.” Old Master said coldly, “Our Chu family will not allow anyone who betrayed the Chu family to stay.”
When Butler Hong heard that, tears flowed down his face and he was filled with regret.
Even so, he still had to leave the Chu family.
After settling Butler Hong, there was only Jiang Yan’s matter left.
Chu Hongqing walked forward and said, “Father, I’ve already mentioned the divorce to Jiang Yan. It’s my fault. I married such a vicious woman and almost caused you and…”
“Second Uncle.”
Seeing that he was about to mention him, Chu Yan hurriedly stopped him.
It was not that he was merciful and wanted to let Jiang Yan off, but he could not mention it.
If Grandpa knew that Jiang Yan not only wanted to kill him, but also Chu Yan, the consequences would be dire.
At that time, not to mention Jiang Yan, but even Second Uncle would be implicated.
Chu Hongqing was stunned. He immediately reacted and hurriedly corrected himself. “Lin Er doesn’t know about this. Jiang Yan told him that the tea had the effect of lowering blood pressure, so he sent it to you.”
“Sigh—”
The Old Master sighed faintly and looked at Chu Hongqing. “How can I not know what she’s thinking? Isn’t she afraid that I’ll give the company to Chu Yan? She wants to be the female owner of the company and doesn’t want to live under your sister-in-law. To put it bluntly, it’s all because of her vanity.”
The Old Master’s words were very straightforward. When Chu Hongqing heard them, he only felt his face heat up.
He knew that if he had the ability to manage the company, Old Master would definitely give it to him. However, he did not have the ability. He also knew in his heart.
The Old Master paused and looked at him before continuing, “You have to think carefully about the divorce. No matter what, she’s still Lin Er’s mother.”
“I’ve thought about it!” Chu Hongqing said lightly, “I definitely don’t dare to let such a vicious woman stay any longer.”
“Forget it.”
Old Master Chu sighed softly. “Do as you wish.”
Chu Hongqing nodded silently.
The Old Master looked at Chu Yan and said, “Yan Er, there’s nothing else to do in the capital. We can’t delay the girl’s studies. Go back tonight.”
Chu Yan said lightly, “Don’t worry, Grandpa. We’ve already taken leave.”
“That’s good!”
Old Master was not worried about Chu Yan’s studies.
Chu Hongzhong glanced at Chu Yan and said to Old Master, “Father, why don’t we let Yan Er transfer to the capital? After all, our roots are here.”
Old Master nodded. “That’s for the best. However, it depends on the child’s own opinion.”
Chu Hongzhong looked at Chu Yan when he heard that. Chu Yan lowered his head and remained silent, seemingly still in a dilemma.
“Think about it.”
After speaking, Chu Hongzhong left the study room with Chu Hongqing.
“Why?” Old Master raised an eyebrow. “Can’t bear to part with that girl?”
Chu Yan did not deny it and nodded. “Grandpa, do you believe in the past and present lives?”
“Oh?”
The Old Master was surprised. He did not expect his taciturn grandson to bring up such an illusory topic with him.
“You might not believe me, but ever since I met Sheng Sheng, I started to have a strange dream.”
“Quick, tell me!” The Old Master said with a gossipy expression.
Chu Yan was silent for a moment before telling Old Master about his dream when he met Lu Sheng.
When the Old Master heard that, he could not help but sigh. “There’s actually such a rare thing in this world?”
“Even you find it unbelievable, right?”
The Old Master nodded and chuckled. “However, this also means that you’re fated. I think that girl is quite good. I can tell that she’s a lucky person.”
Chu Yan nodded in agreement.
“Oh right!” The Old Master remembered what Chu Hongzhong told him and hurriedly asked Chu Yan, “I heard that girl can exorcise evil spirits? Is that so?”
“Yes, her father learned this. I escaped death this time with her father’s help.”
“Oh, so this girl and her father are experts?”
Chu Yan said, “Not only her father, but her uncles are also very powerful!”
The Old Master nodded. “I’ve always believed in these, which is why I told your parents to do more good deeds. The reason why our Chu family can be where we are now is because of our capabilities. Of course, kindness is only applied to the good. As for those evil people, forget about them.”
Chu Yan nodded in agreement again.
“Alright, go out and accompany her. Grandpa will return to his room to rest first.”
When Chu Yan heard that, he hurriedly helped him back to his room before going to find Lu Sheng.
“Are you done?”
When Lu Sheng, who was tidying the blanket, saw him enter, she hurriedly stopped what she was doing and asked with a smile.
“Yes, we’re done.”
Chu Yan walked to the side and sat down. He looked at her and said hesitantly, “I…”
“Are you going to talk about the school transfer again?”
Chu Yan was surprised. “How did you know?”
“This is the only thing that has made you hesitate recently, right?”
Lu Sheng crawled to the bed and sat down. She looked at him and said, “Do whatever you want. There’s no need to worry too much.”
However… he could not bear to leave her!
“Can’t bear to part with me?”
Chu Yan, whose thoughts had been poked, was immediately speechless.
He even suspected that Lu Sheng could read minds.
Otherwise, why did she know everything he was thinking?
“Then… I’ll study in the capital too.”
Chu Yan suddenly looked up. “Can you?”
“Of course!” Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled. “As long as you want, I’ll always be by your side.”
Chu Yan felt his face burning, but his heart was jumping for joy.
“Then… we’ll return to City H tomorrow to settle the transfer procedures.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay!”
“It’s getting late. Rest early.”
Chu Yan pursed his thin lips and left the room.
Lu Sheng stared at the closed door and smiled.
She took out her phone and told Lu Zhou about the transfer.
Lu Zhou only said, “Go wherever you want. You’ve grown up, so you don’t have to report everything to me.”
Lu Sheng smiled and exited the conversation. Then, she placed her phone on the counter and switched off the lights before going to bed.
Chu Yan booked plane tickets. When the two of them returned to City H, it was already past ten.
Lu Zhou was the one who came to fetch them.
“Where’s Uncle Shangguan? He didn’t come with you?”
Lu Sheng asked habitually when she did not see Shangguan Dian.
“Your Uncle Pei invited him to an auction in another city. He probably won’t be back anytime soon.”
“I was wondering.”
If Shangguan Dian were here, he would have followed over long ago.
“Master, use my real name for this transfer. I’ve used the name Jiang Jing for so long, but I’m still not used to it.”
Lu Zhou nodded. “Okay, I’ll tell Principal Gao later.”
“Also, I want to transfer to Year Three, not Year One.”
“Okay.”
Lu Sheng smiled satisfactorily.
Chu Yan followed behind the duo. When he saw the scene of the father-daughter pair interacting, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
However, that sense of familiarity only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
At this moment, in Class Five of Year Three.
When Shen Yiyi suddenly received the news that Chu Yan was transferring schools, she was dumbfounded.
In order to get close to Chu Yan, she had transferred to City H from the capital. In the end, he was returning to the capital now?
Wasn’t he just teasing her?
“Are you really transferring schools?”
Pei Yan pouted and followed them reluctantly.
“Yes!” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Why don’t you join us?”
“No!”
Pei Yan shook his head. “The college entrance examination is next semester. What if I can’t adapt to another school and my results fall?”
Lu Sheng chuckled. “Then, be the school beau here.”
“Oh right!” Pei Yan was enlightened. “Once Chu Yan leaves, the position of the school beau will be mine again!”
Lu Sheng chuckled. “Happy?”
Pei Yan shook his head. “I’m not happy! You’ve all transferred schools. Who’s going to accompany me to eat and play games? Moreover, I’m the only one left in the dormitory. I’m scared!”
Recently, there were always people who said that they saw Chen Sheng’s ghost. This scared him so much that he could only go home every time, then get the driver to send him to school early in the morning.
“What’s there to be afraid of?”
Lu Sheng rolled her eyes at him. “Moreover, didn’t I give you the talisman? You didn’t wear it?”
“Yes, but I’m still scared.”
Lu Sheng was speechless.
Chu Yan rolled his eyes at him and looked like he wanted to ignore him.
Pei Yan suggested, “Since the transfer procedures are done, shall we gather tonight? I wonder when we can meet again.”
Lu Sheng agreed. “Okay, let’s say goodbye to everyone.”
Chu Yan nodded slightly. “The venue will be at the Jade Hotel. You’re in charge of informing everyone.”
“Roger that!”
After getting a response, Pei Yan started to inform people in the group.
Lu Sheng let Yang Chunmei take a day off so that she can gather with everyone else.
Although most of the people present were rich, except for Pei Yan, Shi Yi, Yun Ting, and the rest, no one would come to the Jade Hotel for a meal.
After all, the expenses were shockingly high. Although they were rich, they could not afford to squander like this.
It was Yang Chunmei’s first time attending such an occasion, so she was more or less reserved.
“Sheng Sheng, I heard that you and Cousin are transferring to the capital?”
When Fu Sisi arrived, she hugged Lu Sheng’s arm and asked.
Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “We’ll wait for you in the capital. Remember to work harder!”
Fu Sisi patted her chest and promised, “Don’t worry, we’ll meet again in the capital!”
“Hope everything will go smoothly!”
Shi Yi patted Chu Yan’s shoulder and smiled at Lu Sheng.
Yun Ting also said to Chu Yan, “Wait for us.”
Chu Yan nodded. “Definitely.”
Lu Ran, Han Leya, and the rest were also here. What surprised Lu Sheng and Chu Yan the most was that even Song Yufeng was here.
The moment he entered, he said regretfully, “I heard the two of you are transferring schools? We can’t eat together in the future. What a pity!”
Lu Sheng and Chu Yan were speechless.
