Chapter 301 Chu Chu, are you ready? [23]
Li Chu fell ill and remained ill for several days.
Her recurring high fever frightened her family, who took her to the hospital for a thorough examination.
Malnutrition, anemia, etc., no major illnesses, but a lot of minor ones.
Anyway, it's all caused by not having enough to eat, wear, or sleep in the past, so I need to take good care of myself.
During that time, Shen Wangyue also came to visit her once.
When Shen Wangqing heard that she was ill, he did not come in person, but sent a gift instead.
Li Chu's room was almost completely filled with gifts.
Some gifts were sent by Xiao Chenghai, and others were prepared by the Li family. They said that Li Chu's return was too rushed, and they didn't have time to prepare a gift, so they were making up for it.
Before Li Chu could even unwrap her gift, Shen Wangyue arrived with gifts from her and Shen Wangqing.
"Chu Chu, are you feeling better?" Shen Wangyue was led directly to Li Chu's room by Zhao Mingxue.
Li Chu was lying in bed watching TV when she saw Shen Wangyue. She threw off the covers and was about to get out of bed.
Shen Wangyue quickly came over: "Don't get out of bed, I heard you've had a fever for several days!"
Li Chu smiled at her: "I'm much better now."
"It's so strange. I never got sick when I lived in the countryside, but I got sick after coming to the city. Is it because I'm not suited to a life of luxury?"
Zhao Mingxue glared at her from the side: "What are you saying! It's because you had such a hard life in the countryside that you got sick."
Shen Wangyue nodded: "That's right! No one is born to live a hard life!"
"Once you recover from this illness, take good care of your health and you won't get sick again!"
Li Chu smiled and nodded: "Mm!"
Seeing that Shen Wangyue and Li Chu got along well, Zhao Mingxue said, "You two talk for a while, I'll go out first."
Shen Wangyue: "Alright, thank you for troubling you, Auntie."
Zhao Mingxue: "I won't bother you. Chuchu is not familiar with Beijing after returning, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of her in the future."
Shen Wangyue immediately patted her chest and assured her, "Of course! Chu Chu is my good friend! My best friend!"
Zhao Mingxue was naturally pleased that the Shen family's daughter was on good terms with Li Chu.
She left quickly, leaving the two little girls alone.
Shen Wangyue then turned her eyes to look around Li Chu's room.
Her gaze fell on the tall stack of gifts, and Shen Wangyue asked, "Were all of those given to you by the Li family?"
Li Chu nodded: "And my maternal grandfather gave it to me too."
It's clear that the Li family cares a lot about Li Chu.
Shen Wangyue was relieved.
"Chuchu, did they say they would hold a banquet for you? When the Xiao family brought Li Pan'er to the capital, they held a grand banquet, which I attended."
In fact, given the Xiao family's status, they are not as good as the Shen family.
It's just that Shen Wangyue likes to join in the fun. She was so curious when she heard that Li Pan'er was from the countryside that she went to see her.
Li Chu replied, "My aunt said she'll hold a banquet for me after I've recovered."
Shen Wangyue looked at Li Chu.
She fell ill, but thanks to the meticulous care of the Li family, she didn't become thinner than before.
Although Li Chu looks much better now than she did in Shiqiao Village, her appearance still doesn't fit in with the upper class.
Shen Wangyue understood better what teenage boys and girls were like; they might see Li Chu like this, but who knows what they might say about her behind her back?
Just like Li Pan'er five years ago, she was often ridiculed behind her back.
"It's good to raise them. Let me tell you, people around our age have split into several different circles..."
Shen Wangyue stayed at the Li family's house until dinner before leaving, and she was somewhat reluctant to part with them.
However, Shen Wangyue would still come to the Li family every few days to play with Li Chu and tell her about the new things happening outside.
After Li Chu recovered from her illness, Zhao Mingxue consulted her and found her a private tutor.
The Li family originally thought that Li Chu, having only completed primary school, would have some difficulty with the curriculum.
After half a month, the tutor said that Li Chu was exceptionally smart and learned everything very quickly.
I have a good memory; I can remember almost everything I see after just one reading.
It allows for a thorough understanding and the ability to apply knowledge to new situations.
The tutors believe that Li Chu could complete the junior high school curriculum in three months.
When school starts in September, she can go directly to the first year of high school.
Li Chu's intelligence surprised and pleased the Li family, who felt that he truly deserved to be a member of their bloodline!
But after the joy, sadness inevitably follows.
They remembered Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Xiaoxiao was also smart from a young age and learned everything very quickly.
If Li Xiaoxiao hadn't been trafficked to the mountains, but instead had completed her studies, fallen in love, gotten married, and had children...
Although they liked Li Chu very much because of her well-behaved and intelligent nature, they were now only missing Li Xiaoxiao because of her.
Li Chu knew this, of course, but she didn't mind.
Because she could feel the sincerity of the Li family towards her.
As long as the Li family treats her sincerely, she will treat them sincerely in return.
Three months passed neither quickly nor slowly, but Li Chu's appearance changed dramatically.
The Li family fed her the best food, used the best things, and pampered her like a precious flower bud.
Li Chu's hair has grown much longer now. It used to be above her ears, but now it's shoulder-length. Her previously dry hair has also become black, shiny, and smooth.
The skin, which had been tanned dark, turned white at a visible speed, becoming fair with a pinkish tint and a rosy complexion.
Not only have they grown taller, they've also gained some weight.
Three months ago, Li Chu was 1.4 meters tall and extremely thin.
Three months later, Li Chu was 1.5 meters tall. Although she was still not very tall, she was much taller than before.
After gaining some weight on her body and face, she looked more childlike because of the baby fat on her face.
"Chuchu, are you ready?"
The door was pushed open, and my second aunt and third aunt walked in.
Li Chu turned around to face her two aunts and obediently replied, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, I'm ready."
The second and third aunts looked at Li Chu with amazement on their faces.
"Oh my! Our Chuchu is so beautiful!"
"It's so exquisitely crafted, it's like a collectible figurine!"
Today is the day the Li family is holding a banquet for Li Chu, and Li Chu has just finished getting her hair and makeup done.
She wore a black velvet off-the-shoulder gown, a short princess-style dress, with several diamonds hand-set on the skirt, making it sparkle like stars as she moved.
There's also a big bow on the back of the skirt, adding a touch of playfulness.
Li Chu's face was made up with just the right amount of makeup, and after her skin was no longer dark, her delicate features were even more clearly revealed.
When she looks at you with her clear, bright eyes, they can melt your heart.
Her shoulder-length hair, without much styling, made her look even more demure and sweet.
So lovable!
Li Chu's second and third aunts came over, each holding one of Li Chu's hands.
"Come on, your aunts will take you downstairs!"
They couldn't wait to introduce their little princess of the Li family to everyone!
