Lord Chu's Wife Is Wild Chapter 540 - The New School Belle Seemed to Be Provided For

Chapter 540: The New School Belle Seemed to Be Provided For

Lu Zhou glared at Shangguan Dian when he saw Lu Sheng heading upstairs.

This fellow used to listen to him very much. Why was he becoming more disobedient now?

Not only was he defiant, but he also urged his daughter to collude with him to disobey him. He was too much!

Hence, when Shangguan Dian was unprepared, Lu Zhou kicked his shoulder.

Shangguan Dian collapsed onto the sofa, so angry that his eyes widened.

After his scheme succeeded, Lu Zhou jumped up from the sofa and said innocently, “Oh, oh, are you alright? I just wanted to sit up. I didn’t expect to kick you. Sorry!”

Shangguan Dian rolled his eyes at him speechlessly and ignored him.

Lu Zhou smiled and went to the kitchen to wash the fruits.

When Lu Sheng heard the voice, she turned back and shook her head helplessly. “Childish.”

—————

The next day, at the Chu family.

Chu Hongzhong went on a business trip abroad yesterday, and Fu Ting followed him. In the house, besides the butler and a few servants, only Chu Yan was left.

He was sitting on the sofa with a pale face. He was holding a cup of plain white tea and drinking it mouthful by mouthful.

His dream last night was not the same as before. Instead, it had moved elsewhere.

He dreamed about that man surnamed Yan at the Lu family last night.

In the dream that he first met Lu Sheng, there was a scene where he brought her to the Netherworld.

After that, he did not dream about the Netherworld anymore. Instead, he dreamed about himself in Xuan Yue Country, a place called Huang Yang Town.

However, last night, he dreamed of the Netherworld again.

This time, it was not him and Lu Sheng. Instead, he dreamed that he was standing on a row of rafts covered in blood and fighting two monsters.

In the end, he defeated the two monsters.

However, he also collapsed on the bamboo raft due to exhaustion.

At this moment, a bunch of poisonous insects suddenly appeared on the muddy river.

He watched in despair as the poisonous creatures approached him.

Suddenly, a faint sigh was heard. Those poisonous insects seemed to have noticed something and hid back into the water.

Soon, the bamboo raft seemed to be pulled towards the ferry by a force.

In a trance, he looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar face.

Although he was dressed differently from what he saw at the Lu family, his face was the same.

The man was wearing a black robe and his long hair was draped behind his back. He stood at the ferry and looked down at him, his eyes filled with pity and sympathy.

After that, the man did not say anything and only helped him ash.o.r.e.

“Your Highness, Your Highness!”

In his trance, he even saw three people running over. He wanted to see their faces clearly, but he realized that like the girl called ‘Sheng Sheng,’ their faces were blurry and could not be seen clearly.

Then, he lost consciousness.

No, to be precise, he woke up.

Chu Yan finished the water in his cup in one gulp and placed the empty cup on the coffee table.

He went upstairs to change his clothes and prepared to leave.

The butler asked him if he would return at noon. Chu Yan only said ‘no’ and left the Chu family.

When he reached the Lu family, he rang the doorbell a few times, but no one came to open the door.

Usually, the Lu family’s door was open. After all, everyone living in this district were big shots and the security was relatively high.

However, when he came today, he realized that the Lu family’s door was already locked.

He pressed the doorbell a few more times. Seeing that no one responded, he took out his phone and called Lu Sheng.

“h.e.l.lo, Ah Yan?”

Lu Sheng picked up the call quickly.

“It’s me. You went out?”

“Yes, CEO Lei asked us to come over and help summon souls. We’re on the car heading to the cemetery now. Why? Did you dream of something again?”

Chu Yan’s thin lips curved upwards. He did not expect Lu Sheng to understand him so well.

“Yes, I dreamed of some strange scenes and wanted to find you to clear my confusion.”

“Go back first and tell me when you return to school in the afternoon.”

“Okay, see you later.”

“See you later!”

Chu Yan stared at his phone for a while before hanging up.

“Chu Yan?”

Lu Zhou looked up and asked Lu Sheng.

“Yes, he said that he had a strange dream last night and wanted me to clear his confusion.”

“Really?” Lu Zhou calculated with his fingers and raised his eyebrows. He said suspiciously, “This shouldn’t be!”

“What’s wrong?”

Shangguan Dian asked suspiciously.

He pondered and said, “I calculated for him just now and realized that he seems to be recovering his memory soon. This shouldn’t be the case. Logically speaking, he should still have two years before he wakes up.”

“Could it be related to seeing Uncle-Master Yan yesterday?” Lu Sheng guessed.

Lu Zhou thought for a while and nodded. “That’s possible.”

“Then did Master predict… when he would wake up?” Lu Sheng asked expectantly.

“If nothing goes wrong, it should be on his eighteenth birthday. In other words, three months later.”

Lu Sheng was elated. “That’s great!”

Although Chu Yan was also Chu Sihan now, she still felt that something was missing.

The cemetery was very cold in the morning, especially since it was autumn now. It was colder than usual.

Lei Zhou and his wife had invited more than ten strong men. They were probably here to dig a grave.

As he had already consulted Lu Zhou last night, he brought a pile of items early in the morning to pay his respects. He even burned paper money as a way to greet his father.

When Lu Zhou and the rest arrived, they started digging the grave.

Lu Sheng looked around and could not help but raise her eyebrows.

The sun had just risen and it was still cold here. Hence, there were a lot of people in the cemetery.

However, ordinary ghosts were very afraid of humans. When they saw them enter, they hid far away.

Other than Lu Sheng, her master, and Shangguan Dian, no one present could see anything.

The three of them were already used to these spirit bodies. Hence, they did not show any abnormalities.

As it was a shallow grave, they found the coffin after digging for a while.

Lu Zhou let Lei Zhou burn another incense stick before opening the coffin.

After opening the coffin, Lu Zhou got Lei Zhou’s wife to call Lei Zhou’s name.

Soon, Lu Zhou saw a transparent soul floating out of the coffin.

He immediately cast a spell and guided the confused soul back to Lei Zhou.

After everything was done, he said lightly, “You can seal the coffin.”

When Lei Zhou heard that, he hurriedly got the men to nail the coffin again before burying it and rebuilding the grave.

After leaving the cemetery, Lu Zhou said to Lei Zhou, “CEO Lei, although your soul has returned to your body, it hasn’t been redeemed yet. Once the time comes, that evil ghost will come and take your soul.”

“What should we do then?”

Lei Zhou had also been worried about this.

His wife stood at the side with a grave expression.

Lu Zhou said lightly, “Come to the Lu family tonight. I’ll settle it for you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Lu!”

Lei Zhou took out three red packets and gave them to Lu Zhou, Lu Sheng, and Shangguan Dian.

Lu Sheng and Shangguan Dian did not want to accept it, but Lei Zhou forced it to them.

The duo had no choice but to accept it.

After the three of them bade farewell to Lei Zhou and his wife, they headed to the Lu family.

In the afternoon, Lu Sheng sent Chu Yan a message, telling him to come and find her so that the two of them could go to school together.

Chu Yan rushed over quickly and the two of them took a taxi back to school.

As they had something to discuss, when they reached the school entrance, the two of them found a restaurant and asked for a room.

After the two of them sat down, Chu Yan described the dream from last night to Lu Sheng in detail.

When Lu Sheng heard that, she looked surprised and smiled faintly.

Indeed, she was right. Chu Yan was indeed influenced by the King of Hades.

“Who is that person? Why did I feel a sense of reverence and familiarity when I saw him?” Chu Yan was really puzzled.

“Actually, you already have your suspicions, right?” Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed. There are some things that I can’t answer you on, but I want to tell you that you don’t have to care too much about those dreams.”

She was afraid that telling Chu Yan everything would affect his destiny. Hence, she could not tell him those things easily.

“Can’t you say it? Actually, I just want to know what my relations.h.i.+p with him in my previous life was.”

After all, that feeling was too complicated and strong for him to ignore easily.

“I can’t say it.”

Lu Sheng looked him in the eye and said seriously, “Ah Yan, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I can’t. However, you have to believe me. All the doubts in your heart will be answered in the near future.”

“In the near future?” Chu Yan pursed his thin lips and said lightly, “How long will that be?”

“Soon!”

Chu Yan looked up and met her gaze. When he saw the determination in her eyes, he nodded. “Okay, I believe you!”

He felt that Lu Sheng would not lie to him.

Lu Sheng smiled.

Be it in the past or now, even if he could not remember the past, he would still trust her.

Lu Sheng looked at him and smiled. “Let’s eat. We’ll return to school after that.”

Chu Yan nodded slightly.

When the two of them left the restaurant, it was already six in the evening.

After Lu Sheng returned to the dormitory, she sent Yang Chunmei a message and asked about her work situation.

Yang Chunmei replied quickly, saying that the manager was a good person and her colleagues took good care of her.

Regarding this, Lu Sheng felt that it should be thanks to Qi Jing.

She smiled and placed her phone aside. Then, she picked up her school uniform and entered the bathroom, preparing to take a shower.

The school had a rule that they had to wear their school uniform on Mondays as the flag would be raised then.

Other times, it was not so strict.

When she went out, she realized that Chen Yizhen was standing in the corridor holding a book.

When he saw her leave, she smiled at her. “Are you going to cla.s.s?”

“Yes. Waiting for someone?”

“Yes, Zhu Ling just arrived. I have to wait for her.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “I’ll go over first.”

“Okay.”

Lu Sheng smiled at her and went downstairs with her book.

When she reached the third floor, Chu Yan sent her a message asking where she was now.

“I’m still in the dormitory. I’m coming downstairs now.”

“Okay.”

“I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

Chu Yan replied with two messages.

Lu Sheng smiled and replied with a ‘Okay’ emoticon.

When she went downstairs, Chu Yan was holding a book and waiting for her at the flower bed opposite the dormitory.

Seeing her walk out, he strode over.

At this moment, the sky was already dark and the sun lamps in the school were lit.

Lu Sheng glanced at the time and realized that it was almost seven in the evening. There were still more than ten minutes to evening cla.s.s.

As the two of them often walked together, many people in school were guessing if they were a couple.

However, they were not as close as other couples.

However, they felt that their relations.h.i.+p was not simple.

Some people guessed that they were cousins. Of course, others said that they were childhood sweethearts.

Regarding this, the duo only smiled and did not speak. Neither of them explained.

Lu Sheng’s cla.s.sroom was on the first floor, while Chu Yan’s was on the third. Hence, the two of them parted ways on the first floor.

A lot of people had already arrived in the cla.s.sroom, leaving only a few empty tables.

“Jiang Jing, hasn’t Yang Chunmei come to school yet?”

Yang Chunmei’s deskmate was called Lin Shuting. She was a short and round-faced girl.

Lu Sheng remembered that she and Yang Chunmei were junior high school cla.s.smates and they had a good relations.h.i.+p.

“She applied for day school last week.”

“Huh?” Lin Shuting frowned. “She applied for day school? Where is she living?”

Lu Sheng said, “She works at a milk tea shop outside school and lives in a dormitory building.”

“I see!” Lin Shuting took out an envelope from her bag and pa.s.sed it to Lu Sheng. “This is the living allowance her aunt asked me to give her. Please pa.s.s it to her for me.”

Lu Sheng glanced at the envelope and said lightly, “She should be back for cla.s.s tomorrow morning. Just pa.s.s it to her yourself.”

“My father has a small operation tomorrow. I’m taking a leave of absence. I don’t think I’ll be back for cla.s.s tomorrow.”

“Okay then.”

Lu Sheng received it. It felt quite thick.

However, Yang Chunmei’s mother was not even willing to give her three hundred yuan, but her aunt gave her so much. What was going on?

“Her aunt treats her quite well.”

Lu Sheng said casually.

Lin Shuting nodded. “In the past, she either worked to earn her living expenses or her aunt sponsored her living expenses.”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. She placed the money in the drawer and took out her phone to play.

“Jiang Jing, come out for a while.”

The bell had just rung when Teacher Li arrived. She stuck her head in and waved at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng was puzzled, but she stood up and walked over.

All the cla.s.smates looked at her curiously. Only Zhu Ling and Zhou Mei gloated.

For some reason, Lu Sheng suddenly had an ominous feeling.

“Teacher Li, you’re looking for me?”

“Follow me.”

After speaking, Teacher Li walked towards the end of the corridor.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow and hurried after her.

“Jiang Jing, you…”

Teacher Li met her clear and innocent eyes and did not know what to say.

“Forget it.” Teacher Li sighed softly. She took out her phone and opened the school forum. Then, she pa.s.sed it to her. “Take a look yourself.”

Lu Sheng received it suspiciously. There was a big t.i.tle on it, ‘New school belle seemed to be provided for.’ There were a few pictures below.

It was the entrance of the Jade Hotel. Lu Zhou stood on her left, Shangguan Dian stood on her right, and Pei Jiayou and the rest stood beside her.

Chu Yan and Chu Hongzhong walked behind them then, so the photo did not capture them.

Moreover, the people in the photo were very captured in high-resolution and their faces could be seen clearly.
