This Witch Transmigrated into the Romantic Novel's Supporting Role

Chapter 249: Sentencing

Chapter 249

Two months later, Madam Zhuang did indeed come to visit. Madam Zhuang's original name was Sui Ningshuang, and she had been a well-known socialite in their circle. As soon as Madam Zhuang entered the courtyard, she saw roses everywhere. She had heard that Boss Chi greatly loved his wife, and seeing the courtyard full of roses, she thought that what she had heard was indeed true.

Chu Yang came out to greet her, "Madam Zhuang, you're here. Please, come in and have a seat."

Madam Zhuang sat in the living room, looked around, and then said to Chu Yang with a smile, "Your place looks really nice. I wonder if there are any good houses for sale in this area?"

She had thought it over and decided that rather than living in the old house where she might be framed one day, it would be better to move out and live on her own. Although she could often see the old master in the old house, she felt that her husband was capable enough, and they could manage even without currying favor with the old master. Besides, her own Sui family was not insignificant and could also help.

Chu Yang shook her head, "I'm not very sure. When I have time, I'll have someone inquire about it and then send you the information."

"That would be great, thank you, Mrs. Chi. Actually, I quite envy Mrs. Chi. You two moved out to live on your own, free and easy."

Chu Yang smiled and said, "It depends on the family. Sometimes having elders to help is quite good, especially if you have children. Although there are nannies, it's still better to have relatives watching over them. By the way, my name is Chu Yang. Madam Zhuang, you can just call me by my name."

Madam Zhuang touched her belly, "You're right. My name is Sui Ningshuang, and I should be older than you. You can call me Sister Ningshuang."

"Alright, Sister Ningshuang."

By calling each other by name, the distance between them lessened considerably.

As they chatted, Sui Ningshuang asked, "Chu Yang, are you planning to have children?"

Chu Yang shook her head, "We don't have plans for that at the moment, but if it happens, it's fine." However, Chi Yan usually wore protection when they were intimate, though sometimes in the heat of the moment, he might not. It didn't happen often, but protection wasn't foolproof, so if they accidentally hit the jackpot one day, there was nothing they could do about it.

"I'm still in graduate school, so we'll probably wait until after I graduate."

"That makes sense. You're still so young, there's no rush. I didn't realize you were still studying. Where are you doing your graduate studies?"

"At A University."

"A University is great. Impressive. I studied abroad before, and not long after I came back, I married Zhuang Jin." Her marriage to Zhuang Jin was arranged, but they had gotten to know each other beforehand, so their relationship was quite good.

Not long after, Chi Yan came home. Sui Ningshuang looked at the time and realized how late it had gotten, "Oh my, I didn't realize we'd been chatting for so long. I should head back now."

"I'll see you out."

"Thank you."

After Sui Ningshuang left, Chu Yang went to look at the gift she had brought. She had come today to thank her, after all.

Opening the box, she found it was a set of jewelry, very beautiful and quite valuable.

Chu Yang had someone put the gift away, thinking that when Sui Ningshuang's child was born, she would need to return the favor with a gift as well.

The results of the poisoning case came out quickly, as the evidence was conclusive. Chen Lian had indeed harbored resentment from the previous fight, but the main reason was his jealousy towards Chu Luo, which led him to do such a thing.

Chen Lian was good at chemistry. He had extracted thallium from certain substances himself and then put it on the rim of Chu Luo's cup after he had left. The amount was very small and undetectable. He didn't dare to put it directly in the water, as Li Hui and Zhong Xin would also drink from it.

In the end, Chen Lian was sentenced to 5 years in prison and expelled from the school.

Although the school forbade discussion of this incident, gossip-loving humans can dig up anything.

"I heard that it was Chu Luo's sister who came directly to report it. Chu Luo had almost drunk the water when his sister arrived."

"How did Chu Luo's sister know?"

"That's what everyone is particularly puzzled about. Maybe it's a secret of rich people?"

"At that time, Chu Luo's sister brought several black-clad bodyguards, and several black cars were parked under the boys' dormitory. It was so cool!"

"I was one of the witnesses. I walked out of my room shirtless and suddenly saw a woman. I screamed, almost losing my innocence."

"Do you even have any innocence left, guy above?"

"What do you mean? I'm a pure maiden at heart."

"I heard that someone in the Chi family knows a Taoist priest from Wenjue Temple. Maybe it was a warning from the priest."

"Wow, that sounds so cool. Is this the power of rich people?"

"It's fortunate that nothing happened to Chu Luo. He's one of the most handsome guys at B University. Of course, the most handsome is actually his brother-in-law, the most attractive campus heartthrob in B University's history."

...

Chu Yang and Chu Luo had no objections to the outcome. The matter was handled well, and Chu's parents didn't even know about it, to avoid worrying them.

After Chu Yang married Chi Yan, Chi Yan had suggested moving Chu's parents to live in the city, but Chu's Dad and Chu's Mom directly refused. They wondered what they would do there, as they only knew how to farm, and they wouldn't know anyone. For them, it was more comfortable to stay in their rural home.

Chu Yang didn't force them, but for their safety, she had surveillance installed in their house. Sometimes she would check on them, as Chu Luo wasn't there, and she worried something might happen to the two of them at home.

When they had time, Chi Yan would take Chu Yang back to stay for about a week. Chi Yan was now very skilled at feeding chickens and ducks, and could even quickly climb trees to pick fruit. If his business partners saw the dignified CEO climbing trees, they would surely be shocked.

However, Chi Yan didn't think much of it. He came down from the tree with fruit in his hand, showing off as he approached Chu Yang and handed her the fruit.

In the countryside, Chi Yan wasn't a domineering CEO, but just a big boy. Every day, apart from helping Chu's parents with chores, he would pull Chu Yang to sleep on her bed.

He remembered that every time he came before, he would rest on this bed secretly. This time, he could finally do it openly. However, at night, Chi Yan still had to sleep in Chu Luo's room, as was the custom.

At night, when they were resting, Chu's Mom would come to have a private chat with Chu Yang.

"How is Xiao Yan treating you?"

"Very well, don't worry. He's still the same as before."

Chu's Mom was still a bit worried. At the time of the wedding, she had only realized how wealthy Chi Yan's family was. It was beyond their imagination. The bride price alone was calculated in tens of millions, not to mention the houses, cars, and various jewelry.

They were all shocked. They knew Chi Yan's family was rich, but not to that extent. It's not easy being the daughter-in-law of a rich family, so Chu's Mom was quite concerned.

"What about Xiao Yan's parents?"

"Mom and Dad are both doing well. Didn't you find them nice when you met and chatted before?"

Chu's Mom sighed, "Yes, they're very nice. It's just that I'm afraid after some time... Never mind, as long as everything's good, it's fine. Do you and Xiao Yan have plans for when to have children?"
