Chapter 4 Jealous Men Are Terrifying
The moment he uttered his name, a rich, purplish-gold aura seemed to be activated, excitedly surging towards him, transforming into a thin thread that wrapped around Wu Zhao's wrist and even gently caressed it.
It even conjured a finger pointing at those terrifying yin energies, as if it were complaining.
Wu Zhao shifted uncomfortably, feeling a little itchy.
Why is the luck of this Emperor Star so persistent, like a stubborn puppy?!
Is this right? !
However, she could also clearly sense that the pain caused by the body that had been cursed by Shen Jiaojiao had been somewhat relieved.
For the sake of curing her illness, she endured it!
Post it a little longer! You'd be a fool not to take advantage of a good deal!
As Ni Bo opened the door, Wu Zhao subconsciously reached out to steady the wheelchair, but unintentionally brushed against his fingers.
The shattered soul was instantly enveloped by a gentle aura, and the cold limbs felt slightly warm.
It's not only highly nutritious, but it also keeps you warm!
However, she can't wear it for too long at once; her fragile body, like a sieve, can't withstand it.
Wu Zhao saw that the man's light shone even brighter.
It would be great if we could just apply it every now and then!
"Come inside," he waved.
The murderous aura in the corner dissipated, and Uncle Ni stepped forward and took the wheelchair from her hands.
Wu Zhao looked at Huo Tingchen and asked, "Does this mean it's passed?"
Huo Tingchen was also confused, but he quickly added, "Let's go inside first. You have to keep your word if you say you can cure my uncle's leg!"
"Of course I can cure it." Wu Zhao touched the ring with a hint of guilt.
"It's just not possible right now," she thought.
The Gu family's villa is very large, and the lush trees inside look like they have been carefully tended.
The sky was gradually darkening, and the lights inside the villa were warm and inviting.
In the hall, Gu Chen looked at Wu Zhao, seemingly recalling something.
"What do you want?" Gu Chen asked directly.
After a moment's thought, Wu Zhao replied, "During the time I'm treating you, I need to stay near you. Also, Huo Tingchen's problems involve the Shen family. I've agreed to temporarily prolong his life, but I still have some scores to settle with the Shen family. We can't alert them before dealing with Shen Jiaojiao."
After listening, Gu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but I have one condition. Tingchen is the heir of the Gu family. Miss Wu is using him to do such a dangerous thing, so naturally you must ensure his safety."
A hint of worry appeared on his pale face, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised. He turned his head slightly to look at his legs, his cheeks and neck forming an extremely alluring curve.
"Furthermore, given my limited mobility, I'd likely become cannon fodder if anything happened. I would be grateful if Miss Wu would protect me and my nephew."
Huo Tingchen nodded repeatedly: "Is there any way to stop me from having nightmares at night? Although I was able to fall asleep the night I came back, I was still very uneasy."
Wu Zhao thought for a moment, then casually picked up a napkin from the table.
After tearing it in her hand, a somewhat rough little paper figure appeared in her palm.
Then Wu Zhao tapped the little paper figure's forehead and whispered something.
Before long, the little paper figure actually stood up on its own, wobbling, in Wu Zhao's hand!
Feeling the little bit of spiritual energy he had painstakingly gathered in his body dissipate in an instant, Wu Zhao was somewhat frustrated.
That's the downside of having your soul shattered; she's like a sieve now, leaking air everywhere!
No, I need to find more opportunities to get closer to Gu Chen!
Wu Zhao made up his mind.
Huo Tingchen was somewhat shocked as the small piece of paper floated onto the table and began to bow to him. He subconsciously reached out, and the paper figure nimbly climbed up his arm, onto his shoulder, slipped at his collar, and then smoothly slipped into his suit pocket.
Then she stretched out her still slightly rough hand and bowed to him, as if to say that she had hidden it well.
Shocked, Huo Tingchen touched the pocket on his chest and looked at Wu Zhao with a strange gaze.
I thought he was a charlatan, but it turns out he's a real big shot!
“I placed a substitute paper doll next to you to temporarily transfer the curse that Shen Jiaojiao placed on you,” Wu Zhao explained.
"Don't leave the villa recently. If Shen Jiaojiao wants to see you, don't refuse."
"Won't this little thing be discovered? Won't it be lost?" Huo Tingchen asked, as this small piece of paper seemed rather unsafe.
“How could that be? It’s already bound to you; it has your presence on it,” Wu Zhao replied.
Seeing that the paper doll was already hidden, Gu Chen asked, "Didn't I have one?"
"Does my uncle need it too?" Huo Tingchen quickly asked.
"Uh...you shouldn't use it for now, right?" Wu Zhao felt a little guilty, as she didn't have the power to create a second paper doll.
Seeing this, Huo Tingchen didn't say anything more, but he noticed that Wu Zhao's face suddenly turned pale.
So he asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm a little tired, can I go and rest first?" Wu Zhao leaned against the sofa, feeling a bit dizzy.
All she wants to do right now is sleep; she doesn't even want to eat.
Seeing this, Gu Chen raised his hand, and a servant came over.
He said, "My room is next to yours on the third floor. Help her up."
After watching the maid help Wu Zhao upstairs, Huo Tingchen turned around and was about to try to get closer to his uncle when he saw Gu Chen staring at him with a cold expression.
"Little, little uncle?" he stammered.
Because Gu Chen's gaze at him was truly terrifying.
He probably didn't do anything to upset his uncle, right?
After returning, she behaved herself and didn't run around. She also apologized to the guests properly after canceling the engagement party...?
As Huo Tingchen was lost in thought and reflecting on himself, he suddenly heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling to his side.
A long, slender hand suddenly touched his shoulder and patted it a few times, neither too hard nor too soft.
He heard Gu Chen say coldly, "Go back to your room and don't wander around unless you have to."
"What kind of person is this, with a heart smaller than a pumpkin?"
Huo Tingchen, who was suddenly scolded for no reason, exclaimed, "Huh...?"
.
Perhaps because of the presence of the Emperor Star, Wu Zhao slept exceptionally soundly.
When Wu Zhao woke up, it was already broad daylight. She was still lazily curled up in her soft blankets when a commotion suddenly came from downstairs, reaching her ears.
"Mr. Huo, I'm so sorry about last night's engagement banquet. My rebellious daughter caused you a lot of trouble. My husband, A-Chuan, told me she left with you. I'll take her home and deal with her right away!"
"Please don't be angry with Jiaojiao, she's innocent! She's been crying ever since you left last night, and she almost ended up in the hospital and is still resting. You two have such a deep bond, you can't give it up because of an outsider!"
……
This voice is somewhat familiar.
After listening for a while, Wu Zhao sat on the bed and sneered as he realized that it was the original owner's cheap father who only cared about giving birth but not raising the child!
Well done!
After tidying up, Wu Zhao left the room.
Downstairs, besides Shen Yiheng, the head of the Shen family, there was also her older brother Shen Chuan, whom she had met yesterday. Opposite them was Huo Tingchen, who had a cold expression.
Wu Zhao didn't see Gu Chen, but she could sense his aura emanating from within the villa, not far from her.
It seems they avoided the Shen family because they didn't want to see them.
She slowly walked downstairs and continued to hear Shen Chuan say, "Mr. Huo, Shen Zhaozhao is someone we just brought back from the countryside. She doesn't understand anything and just makes a mess of things."
"Nonsense?" Wu Zhao snorted, his voice drawing the attention of the others.
She slept well last night, and with Gu Chen's imperial aura always by her side, she looked much better this morning, a stark contrast to her sallow complexion last night.
The entire Shen family is full of beauties, so how could Shen Zhaozhao, their biological daughter, be anything less than stunning?
However, she suffered from long-term malnutrition and lived in a poor environment. After returning to the Shen family, she was cursed by Shen Jiaojiao, which made her look ugly and weak.
Although it wouldn't be enough to completely transform someone in just one night, the people downstairs still noticed that Wu Zhao possessed a beauty that rivaled anyone else's.
"Shen Zhaozhao, is this the kind of upbringing my Shen family has taught you? Stealing your sister's fiancé?" Shen Yiheng's face was grim, but even seeing that face so strikingly similar to his beloved wife's, his expression remained unchanged. "And you even dared to run out of the house without taking anything with you! How utterly audacious!"
Wearing comfortable home clothes, Wu Zhao strolled over to Huo Tingchen and casually picked up an apple from the table in front of him.
"Household education? This is quite strange, sir. I am an adopted daughter who has been in your Shen family for less than two months. How would I know anything about the Shen family's household education?"
She glanced at Huo Tingchen, who remained expressionless, and continued, "What does the cancellation of the engagement banquet have to do with me?"
"No," Huo Tingchen answered simply.
Taking a bite of her apple, Wu Zhao said, "So it has nothing to do with me. It's your precious daughter who couldn't keep her fiancé. If Mr. Shen wants to curse, I think you've come to the wrong place."
"Zhao Zhao, how could you talk to your father like that? Besides, you're a girl, all empty-handed, staying out all night at your sister's fiancé's house. That's just too much. What will others think of our Shen family if you do this?" Shen Chuan scolded Wu Zhao with a pained expression.
It was as if she were the sinner of the entire Shen family.
Wu Zhao raised a finger to him and said, "You've got it wrong, I'm not a member of your Shen family."
Shen Yiheng was somewhat taken aback by his usually taciturn daughter's sudden sharp tongue: "Shen Zhaozhao, I'm your father! You have to listen to me. Now come home with me and apologize to your sister and mother!"
To everyone's surprise, Wu Zhao threw the apple core away and said directly, "Trying to morally blackmail me?"
"I'm sorry, but I have no morals!"
With a soft "plop," the apple core hit Shen Chuan squarely in the face.
Then it fell onto the carpet.
