This Witch Transmigrated into the Romantic Novel's Supporting Role

Chapter 244: Jealousy

Chapter 244

"That's my sister," Chu Luo sighed. "She came to pick me up for dinner yesterday. She's married now. My brother-in-law's family is relatively wealthy."

"Relatively wealthy? They look very rich to me."

"I didn't know you had a sister. No wonder I thought the person who picked you up yesterday looked a bit like you."

"Your sister is so beautiful. I can't believe she's married."

"How old is your sister?"

"Your sister..."

Chu Luo: "Alright, alright, stop asking. My sister is my sister, and I am me. We're different people. Besides, she's already married." Chu Luo decided he wouldn't let Chu Yang pick him up anymore.

Seeing his reaction, the others stopped inquiring.

Boys also like to gossip. In the dorm room next to Chu Luo's, someone was talking about him.

"I heard that the person who dropped Chu Luo off today was his brother-in-law's chauffeur. So Chu Luo's sister married into a wealthy family? I didn't see Chu Luo's sister yesterday, but since Chu Luo is good-looking, I imagine his sister must be beautiful too. Otherwise, how could she marry into a rich family? Hey, Jin Ye, do you know which wealthy family Chu Luo's sister married into?" The gossipy boy asked a nearby boy who was playing a video game.

Jin Ye, of course, knew. He had even attended their wedding.

Jin Ye's hands didn't stop typing on the keyboard. "Why are you asking about this? Have you finished your homework?"

"Just curious."

"Anyway, it's a truly wealthy family. Don't pry into other people's private affairs."

"Alright, alright, I won't ask you anymore. Indeed, when one person succeeds, their whole family benefits. I heard Chu Luo's family is from the countryside, but now that his sister has married into a wealthy family, he'll have these connections. It'll be much easier for him to become a city person."

Another boy spoke up, "What's it to you? Besides, aren't both city and country people all citizens of Hua Country? Are you trying to create division? Are you a spy?"

A boy who was studying suddenly laughed, "Haha, with Qian Zhong's intelligence, he couldn't be a spy."

The boy called Qian Zhong got angry and embarrassed: "What do you mean? The fact that I got into B University proves my intelligence, okay?"

"We didn't mean anything. Why are you so focused on Chu Luo? Are you jealous of him? Well, he is better-looking than you and studies better than you, so I guess you should be jealous."

Qian Zhong: "...I'm not talking to you guys anymore."

The other two boys exchanged glances and then said nothing more.

Chu Luo didn't care about these gossips and went about his business as usual. Recently, Professor Hua at the school had been paying a lot of attention to him, probably because of the talent he had shown in his studies. The professor had been quite considerate in providing him with opportunities to attend lectures by industry experts and other learning experiences.

"Study hard!"

Chu Luo didn't refuse. Being able to learn more and have opportunities to study was a good thing.

However, in the eyes of others, this special treatment made them think Chu Luo was using connections.

"Why does Professor Hua pay so much attention to him? Did his family help him get special treatment? I heard his sister married into a wealthy family."

"Maybe, but Chu Luo is really good at studying." Full marks in major courses! He's a brilliant genius!

"Just because he's good at studying, he gets special treatment? I don't believe it. I think his sister must have done something, like bribery?"

"If you don't believe it, there's nothing we can do. The world isn't absolutely fair. And don't spread rumors."

When Chu Luo returned to his dorm room from the library, his roommate Chen Lian, who slept in the bed opposite him, spoke sarcastically when he saw him come back, "Oh, our big academic star is back? Hey, why does Professor Hua favor you so much? Did your sister bribe Professor Hua?"

Chu Luo turned to look at him, "Chen Lian, don't spread rumors."

Chen Lian smirked, "Everyone knows your sister married into a wealthy family. How did she manage that? It couldn't be..." Chen Lian's eyes glinted, "A shotgun wedding! Pregnancy blackmail?"

Chu Luo got angry, "Chen Lian, come down here!"

Chen Lian was particularly nasty, "What if I don't? Are you going to hit me?"

Chu Luo immediately climbed up and threw a punch.

Their roommate Li Hui quickly came over to pull him back, "Chu Luo, don't hit him, don't hit him. This kind of person isn't worth hitting."

Chen Lian's lip was bruised from Chu Luo's punch, "Chu Luo, I'm going to report you to the school leaders for hitting me."

Chu Luo laughed coldly, "Go ahead. I'll directly accuse you of defamation."

Chen Lian: "You just wait."

When Zhong Xin returned to the dorm, he found the atmosphere strange. He and Li Hui exchanged glances: What happened?

Li Hui pointed at his phone, indicating he would explain via message.

Zhong Xin immediately opened his phone.

Li Hui: Recently, Professor Hua seems to like Chu Luo a lot. Chen Lian is probably unhappy about it and thinks Chu Luo's sister bribed Professor Hua, since everyone knows Chu Luo's sister married into a wealthy family.

Zhong Xin: ...What kind of thinking is that? How did Chen Lian even get into B University?

Li Hui: I always thought he was narrow-minded.

Zhong Xin: Doesn't he know that Chu Luo is top of the class in his major? Instead of thinking like this, he should focus on studying. He's always playing games in the dorm, what right does he have to talk about others?

Li Hui: Exactly. We should stay away from him in the future. He's really petty and even spreads rumors about someone's sister.

Zhong Xin: What rumors?

Li Hui: He spread a rumor that Chu Luo's sister got pregnant to marry into the wealthy family.

Zhong Xin: ...Has he read too many novels? Is he mentally ill? Let's ignore him from now on.

Li Hui: Mm-hmm.

Since the last time they had dinner together, Chu Yang hadn't contacted Chu Luo. After all, she was busy with her own studies. Not only that, but she had also recently started learning hobbies like flower arranging and painting.

When Chi Yan came home, he saw Chu Yang wearing a form-fitting qipao dress, standing at the table which was covered with flowers. He walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chu Yang was focused on trimming flower stems, "Learning the art of flower arranging."

Chi Yan was puzzled, "Why are you learning this?"

Chu Yang glanced at him without speaking. Wen Yi, who was nearby, said, "Recently, some other ladies have been inviting Madam to participate in various activities."

Hearing this, Chi Yan understood. He hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, "You don't have to learn if you don't want to. No one would dare laugh at you. If anyone dares to laugh at you, just tell me, and I'll teach their husband a lesson."

Chu Yang pushed him away, "Don't interfere. Why would I need your help to teach anyone a lesson?" Generally, if anyone tried to bully her, she would teach them a lesson on the spot. She wasn't the type to take abuse quietly. Learning these skills was primarily to avoid embarrassing him, and secondly, because learning new things was good. Learning never ends, otherwise, she'd get bored just reading those magic books all day when she had free time.

Moreover, with more servants in the house, she hadn't dared to summon small demons, fearing it might scare people. Even Wen Yi, who was always by her side, didn't know she could make predictions.

"Alright, alright, let's have dinner first. Aunt has prepared the meal."

Chu Yang put down the flowers, "Okay." Then she told Wen Yi, "Don't tidy up yet, I'll continue after dinner."

"Yes, Madam."
