Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 102: Chapter 96: Going Home_2

”Dad, why did you just arrive?” a not-so-unfamiliar voice rang out from behind Luo Qianqian, causing Luo Qianqian to be stunned. The voice continued, ”Don’t just say hello to someone you see; that embarrasses my mom.”

”Fourth Young Master, I’m sorry, this is my son Yi Muhuan.” Yi Henan awkwardly apologized with a smile, pulling Yi Muhuan over. Yi Muhuan rubbed against Luo Shufan’s clothes and then disgustingly patted his own clothes:

”Who are you, and can you afford to compensate if you’ve dirtied my clothes?” Yi Muhuan’s face was full of scorn. ”Dad, you too need to see clearly who you’re greeting!”

”We won’t disturb you any further, Mr. Yih, take care of your son!” Luo Yanran felt nauseated looking at Yi Muhuan’s expression; such a person, when she goes back to tell her father, they won’t be cooperating at all.

”Fourth Young Master!” Yi Henan wanted to say something more, but Luo Yanran had already pulled Luo Qianqian and Luo Shufan away, and they could still faintly hear Yi Muhuan’s impatient voice.

How did he become like this? Luo Qianqian felt somewhat sad inside; where had the gentle boy who would sit with her in the library all day gone?

”Shufan, are you alright?” Luo Yanran silently took note against Yi Henan and asked.

”I’m fine, it just brushed against me, I’ll just wash it when we get home.” Luo Shufan said, looking at his unsoiled clothes which hadn’t changed color at all.

”Don’t worry, I’ll get revenge for you,” said Luo Yanran bitterly, he remembered not being given face in front of his sister.

Luo Qianqian opened her mouth but didn’t speak; to her, her brother was more important than any outsider, and this outsider was far from the gentle and caring figure from her past life.

”I think I’ve seen him before,” Luo Shufan mused.

”Yes, thanks to him you made a fortune in medical expenses,” Luo Qianqian continued her brother’s words: ”It was also one of the startup funds for ’Luo Shenyao’ and ’Fragrance Comes.’”

”I remember now,” Luo Shufan frowned, ”that also scared you that day you met Xiao Yu, didn’t it?”

”Right.” The first time Luo Qianqian met Yi Muhuan in this life was indeed that day, which was too shocking for her to believe that he was the same Yi Muhuan she knew.

”Such a thing happened?” Luo Yanran frowned.

”Da Luo, Little Luo~” A familiar voice called at the door. The siblings turned around to see Bai Yizhu gesturing frantically at them.

”Zhuzi?” Luo Qianqian was momentarily stunned seeing the person at the door: ”What are you doing here?”

”I came to pick you up. My brother said you were coming home today.” Bai Yizhu pointed towards Bai Yixian, who was leaning on a car outside making a phone call.

”Luo Yanran? Your brother wants you to come back immediately. Don’t trouble your younger siblings.” Bai Yizhu hung up the phone and relayed, ”That’s what was said on the phone.”

Luo Qianqian almost spat blood when she heard Bai Yixian’s words; no wonder the inexplicably courteous Bai Yizhu, always treating them, turned out to be a spy.

”Luo Xiying’s call?” Luo Qianqian asked seemingly casually.

”Yes, right.” Bai Yixian answered instinctively, but immediately blushed and explained, ”He’s worried about your safety.”

”I didn’t say anything else...” Luo Qianqian chuckled while looking at Bai Yixian, ”Could it be...” then she said nothing more.

Luo Yanran, with a pained expression, said, ”How come uncle’s people are everywhere? Can’t I even hang out for a bit?” He had just opened his phone to find a message from his brother stating that the flight was in half an hour and he had already called to book it.

”I feel for you,” Luo Qianqian blinked, ”I’ll remember the thing about the chocolate.” She hadn’t forgotten how Luo Yanran had tricked her. Then she got into the car, where the door was already open.

”Take care, goodbye.” Luo Shufan also kept in mind how his sister was tricked so he wasn’t exactly heartbroken.

Bai Yixian, appearing unconcerned, watched everyone get into the car and then drove away, leaving a cloud of dust behind.

”What did I do to deserve this?” Seeing the message from Sun Zhichao, Luo Yanran knew he had to return immediately, but still complained for a bit, watching the car disappear before heading to the departure hall.

”Uncle seems to owe me a meeting gift, you remember to tell him,” Luo Qianqian winked naughtily at Bai Yixian before turning to Bai Yizhu, ”Things are too chaotic now, I’ll give you your gift when school starts.”

”No rush,” Bai Yizhu said with a shy smile and a wave of his hand.

”Zhuzi, we’re going now. Come play with me in a few days, give me a call,” Luo Shufan waved at the car.

”He doesn’t have time to play, ignore him,” Luo Qianqian bluntly exposed her brother’s words, ”Take your time and be careful on the road.”

”Qianqian, you’re back?” He Wenyu popped his head out from upstairs upon hearing the familiar voices, excitedly shouting when he saw the pair dragging their suitcases.

He then ran downstairs to help the siblings with their suitcases.

”Did godmother also go to work?” Luo Qianqian asked, looking around the empty room at the He Family’s house.

”Don’t even mention it, my grandfather and uncle came over, and dad was worried about mom feeling uncomfortable, so he went to the old house and said they’d leave me at your place,” He Wenyu grimaced, ”Mom said the factory was laying people off, so she volunteered to leave and even got compensation money; she’s probably at the shop now.”

”The shop?” Luo Qianqian frowned. So much had happened in just a few days?

”Yeah, ’Fragrance Comes’ and ’Luo Shenyao’, rented two adjacent storefronts,” He Wenyu excitedly said, ”They’re still being remodeled, but once it’s done, we can eat delicious food every day.”

Two? Luo Qianqian frowned, ”Mom also resigned?”

”Yes,” He Wenyu replied bitterly, ”But that awful aunt who keeps saying bad things about my mom is still there, she wasn’t laid off.”

”Do your uncle and grandfather know about your mom opening a store?” Luo Qianqian remembered a scumbag from a previous life, who labeled Xiao Yu as a girl who was a financial loss, thus, compared to her godparents, they took out the savings meant for Xiao Yu and gave it to the son of their elder brother for his wedding. If they didn’t give it, they’d make a scene and complain to everyone that having children meant neglecting parents, forcing Xiao Yu’s parents to give up the money before they stopped.

Later, when asked to return the money, they replied it was given voluntarily, not borrowed.

”They don’t know, mom comes back here to sleep at night and doesn’t go to the old house. Dad sleeps in the old house, but there’s not much there so we’re not worried about them tampering with anything,” He Wenyu pouted, ”My brother also said that I’m a financial loss and suggested to dad and mom to have another child instead of wasting money on my education.”

As Luo Qianqian listened to He Wenyu’s words, two words popped into her head: As expected.
