Chapter 290: Contemporary Little Mozart; You’re Exaggerating, Right?

The two of them went straight to the nearest school restaurant.

The moment Chu Luo entered, she became the focus of everyone’s attention.

Wang Mingtao placed the book in his hand on the dining table and said to Chu Luo, “Sister Chu, I’ll go order. What do you want to eat?”

Chu Luo mentioned a few dishes.

“Okay.”

After saying that, Wang Mingtao walked towards the ordering window. He had just taken two steps when Roundy followed him.

Wang Mingtao asked in surprise, “Roundy, why are you following me?”

Roundy replied, “I’ll help you carry the dishes.”

Wang Mingtao sneered. “You don’t even have hands. How can you help me carry them?”

Roundy extended out a platform that looked like a tray from its stomach. It was estimated that there were three or four racks on it, and there was also a soup bowl beside it.

Roundy said proudly, “Mistress specially designed it. I have a pocket for snacks here.”

Wang Mingtao gave him a thumbs up. “My Sister Chu is amazing.”

On Chu Luo’s side.

Not long after she sat down, people who’d been sitting elsewhere surrounded her. At this moment, two girls walked up to her.

“Chu Luo, can we ask you a few questions?”

Chu Luo looked up at them and said under their expectant gazes, “Sure.”

One of the girls quickly asked, “How did you manage to pass the level-up examination in such a short time while learning so many specializations at once?”

As Imperial University students, they were most concerned about their studies.

Chu Luo thought for a while and pointed at her head. She wasn’t humble at all. “My memory is better than everyone else’s. I can remember things after reading it once. Moreover, I read books very quickly.”

“How fast can it be?” The other girl didn’t believe it at all. “Don’t tell me you have some fast learning method that you can’t bear to share with us?”

Some people sitting elsewhere had the same thought.

“I think she refuses to tell us because she is afraid that we would find out about her learning method and surpass her.”

“Indeed, she’s as difficult to get along with as the rumors say. No wonder no girl is willing to be her friend.”

When Chu Luo heard these sour words, the corners of her lips suddenly curled up. She suddenly raised her voice.

“Instead of making sarcastic remarks here, you might as well find a way to learn on your own. Being surpassed by a person like me who’s only been here for a month, many people must feel terrible. I said before, if you’re not convinced, you can challenge me.”

Everyone shut up.

At this moment, another person walked in from outside the restaurant.

The person was wearing a dress and a pair of seven- to eight-centimeter high heels. Her footsteps were lively. At this moment, she was holding two books in one hand and a phone in the other. As she walked, she made a call and said in a displeased tone:

“I said that I don’t need you to interfere. This is my own matter… If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. I’m going into the restaurant.”

Then she hung up.

The moment Gu Lexuan entered the restaurant, she subconsciously looked around and her gaze landed on Chu Luo.

Chu Luo was replying to Tang Zhiyun’s message when she felt her gaze on her.

Gu Lexuan stomped over to Chu Luo in her high heels and said in a displeased voice, “Chu Luo, why didn’t you react at all about the school belle contest?”

Chu Luo said without looking up, “I’m not free.”

“You…” Gu Lexuan was furious. She had treated this matter so seriously, but Chu Luo didn’t take it seriously at all. This was preposterous.

“Chu Luo, don’t be too smug. Do you think you can become the top school belle just because you’re good at studying? Let me tell you, you’re dreaming.”

Chu Luo looked at her strangely. “Which eye of yours saw that I wanted to be the top school belle?”

“Hmph! Acting all high and mighty!”

“Do I need to pretend?”

Chu Luo tapped her phone with her finger and asked, “If the school belle’s evaluation is based on looks, do you think you can beat me?”

“You…”

“Or perhaps it’s based on being cultured? In what way can you compare to me?”

“I know Chinese Art. I’m the disciple of Zhang Donglai, a member of the Chinese Arts Association.”

At this point, Gu Lexuan suddenly became very confident. “I’m also a student of Master Wei, a famous pianist in the empire. The school belle of Imperial University must be proficient in all four arts. Other than studying, do you know anything else?”

“Ha!”

Chu Luo chuckled but couldn’t be bothered with her.

At this moment, Wang Mingtao and Roundy returned with the dishes.

When Wang Mingtao heard this, he said straightforwardly, “You probably don’t know everything that my Sister Chu knows. But everything that you do know, my Sister Chu might already be tired of playing.”

“Hmph!” Gu Lexuan glared at Wang Mingtao and mocked, “Keep bragging. Be careful not to get slapped in the face.”

After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

As soon as she left, many people started discussing softly.

“No wonder Gu Lexuan has always been so confident. So she has such a powerful teacher. I heard that it’s very difficult to enter the Chinese Arts Association. Any one of its members is a master.”

“And Master Wei. If it’s that Master Wei I heard about, I can only say that Gu Lexuan is really impressive. That Master Wei is known as the Contemporary Little Mozart in the empire’s piano world.”

“Contemporary Little Mozart? You’re exaggerating, right?”

“It’s definitely a little exaggerated, but Master Wei’s piano skills are really good. Previously, he even represented the empire to participate in an international piano competition.”

“What place?”

“Third.”

“Sister Chu, that girl provoked you so much just now. Why didn’t you teach her a lesson?”

Wang Mingtao was puzzled.

At this moment, Tang Zhiyun sent another message saying that he was outside and would treat them to dinner when he returned.

“A waste of time.”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she put her phone aside and picked up her chopsticks to eat. After eating a mouthful of food, she asked, “How’s Uncle Wang’s waist?”

“He’s already recovered.” Wang Mingtao immediately beamed. “I don’t have to go out to work this week. Sister Chu, why don’t we play games together this weekend?”

“I’m not free.”

Chu Luo lowered her head and started eating again.

Wang Mingtao scratched his head and didn’t ask further. He followed suit and ate.

However, not long after he ate, Wang Mingtao seemed to have thought of something. He covered his mouth and lowered his voice mysteriously. “Sister Chu, last week, my father and I went to your relative’s house to plant flowers. Guess what I heard?”

“That’s not my relative,” Chu Luo emphasized.

Wang Mingtao shrugged. “Alright, Sister Chu, do you still want to hear their gossip?”

“If you want to say it, just say it.”

Wang Mingtao liked to gossip in front of Chu Luo. “I heard that the Wei family is going to the northwest to find an ancient tomb. Most of their men will go there.”

Chu Luo frowned when she heard this.

Seeing her reaction, Wang Mingtao continued, “Sister Chu, do you think their family are tomb raiders? I think the things they prepared aren’t what a regular archaeological team should have.”

Chu Luo glanced at him and asked, “Did they discover you when you heard these words?”

“No. I was in a hurry to pee. I was going to go to the public toilet outside, but the back door of their villa happened to be open. I sneaked in and found the nearest bathroom. When I went out, I heard the two madams of the Wei family discussing this.”

Chu Luo thought for a while and asked, “Who else knows about this?”

“No one. I didn’t tell anyone. Not even my father.”

Chu Luo nodded. “Then forget about it.”

Wang Mingtao believed that Chu Luo wouldn’t harm him and nodded hurriedly.

Just as the two of them were about to finish eating, someone suddenly walked over.

“Hello, Student Wang.”

Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao looked over at the same time.

When he saw who it was, Wang Mingtao asked warily, “Student Wu, what are you trying to do?”

Wu Siyi twisted her fingers nervously and stole a glance at Chu Luo. She suddenly took out 1000 yuan and handed it to him.

“What are you doing?”

“Sorry about last time. I didn’t expect every meal to be so expensive. There’s 1000 yuan here. I’ll return the extra money to you.”

Wang Mingtao subconsciously looked at Chu Luo.

Chu Luo picked up the soup and took a sip. She glanced at her and didn’t want to speak at all.

Wang Mingtao didn’t take the money and said, “No need. This matter is over.”

After saying that, he asked Chu Luo, “Sister Chu, are you done eating? I’ll go settle the bill.”

Chu Luo nodded.

Wang Mingtao stood up and walked towards the counter.

Wu Siyi turned to look at Wang Mingtao and then at Chu Luo. After thinking for a while, she put down the money and was about to leave.

“Stop right there.”

Chu Luo looked at the money in front of her and said, “Take your money away.”

Wu Siyi stopped and looked at Chu Luo. She said in a low voice, “I’m returning this to Student Wang.”

“Then put it in his hands.”

After saying that, Chu Luo led Roundy towards the counter and didn’t even look at Wu Siyi.

Wu Siyi looked at the money on the dining table, bit her lips, and followed her.

After Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao walked out of the restaurant, Chu Luo asked Roundy to place the skateboard on the ground before saying to Wang Mingtao, “I’ll leave first.”

With that, she left.

The moment she left, Wu Siyi stopped Wang Mingtao.

When Chu Luo returned to the villa, Li Yan wasn’t back yet. She put down her things and went to the villa behind.

At this moment, Elder Hu was watering some herbs. When he saw Chu Luo, he immediately waved her over happily.

“Little Chu, come and see.”

Chu Luo walked over.

Elder Hu pointed at the herbs that filled the garden and was so happy that the creases on his face deepened. “Look, you actually made these herbs grow. In a few days, we can use them in the experiment.”

Chu Luo smiled and nodded. The two of them walked towards the laboratory.

When Chu Luo returned to the villa after her experiment, the butler waiting in the courtyard said to her, “Miss Chu, you’re back. Master said that he would be back later tonight, so don’t wait for him.”
