Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 130: Chapter 119: Goodbye, My ’First Love

”I’m already married.” As Luo Qianqian answered the phone, the female doctor hastily clarified, ”I have a three-year-old child.”

”I wasn’t suggesting introducing you...” Luo Qianqian helplessly said to the straightforward doctor, ”Lend me a piece of paper and five dollars, I’ll give it back to you later.”

”Oh.” The doctor flipped out her wallet and also pulled out a pack of tissues.

”I need writing paper and a pen,” Luo Qianqian added as she blinked at the tissues.

She tore a strip of paper, wrote a few lines, stuffed it in the money, and folded the money into the shape of an ingot, handing it to the female doctor, ”Please give this to a girl named He Wenyu outside the door, tell her to buy me the drink I love outside.”

”He Wenyu...” The female doctor muttered twice, then opened the door of the medical room, looked at the people at the door, and said, ”Which one of you is He Wenyu? The patient wants you to buy her favorite drink, they don’t have it here.”

He Wenyu looked at the folded money passed by the female doctor, hesitated, then nodded and ran off.

”Doctor, how is she doing?” Zhang Jingjing asked with a worried expression.

”It’s nothing serious, she just needs to lie down a bit longer and then she can leave.” The doctor then closed the door. Yi Muhuan, peering through the crack of the door, saw the bump on the bed, his face filled with satisfaction. This time, she would surely thank him, and that would allow him to get closer. Thinking this, he glanced at Zhang Jingjing and snorted coldly, Zhang family counts for nothing.

He Wenyu ran off before stopping to unfold the money. She had felt something was off when she first took the money—why was there a white edge? Sure enough, there was a note inside:

”Bai Yixian is coming soon, go to receive him, adjust the surveillance to preserve the evidence, make several copies, and make sure no one else sees them, come to the medical room after everything is resolved.”

He Wenyu’s eyes darkened, evidence? The incident with Qianqian falling into the water was no accident? With this thought, she didn’t even bother to change her clothes and stood waiting in the lobby for Bai Yixian.

Bai Yixian had felt something was amiss as soon as he received the call from his brother—introduce a girlfriend? Must go? Luo Shufan was attending class today and not with Luo Qianqian, so that was why he had called. What could Luo Qianqian be involved in that Luo Shufan shouldn’t know about? Still in the medical room? Could it be... With that thought, he drove straight to Shifang International. Upon arrival, he saw He Wenyu at the entrance; without saying anything, she handed him the note. Although the two weren’t very acquainted, both knew they were trusted by Luo Qianqian.

Seeing the note, Bai Yixian’s right eye twitched, and he immediately headed to the surveillance room. The security was initially blocking it, but then Bai Yixian was very direct, ”Call the medical room.”

After the call was made, they were allowed upstairs.

He checked the surveillance and casually asked the doctor what was requested of them. Seeing the images, Bai Yixian knew these were Luo Qianqian’s motives. If the police were alerted, the data would surely be destroyed immediately; better to keep it in his own hands. Coincidentally, the supervisor of the surveillance room was the female doctor’s husband. Having been informed by his wife, he let Bai Yixian check as well, considering this was nearly a matter of life and death—the first incident of its kind since the trial operation began. He was unsure of how to resolve it.

Efficiently, Bai Yixian logged onto the internet, connected to QQ and email, and sent the video: ”Don’t worry, there won’t be trouble, we won’t call the police.” Watching the expressions of the two in the surveillance room, Bai Yixian smirked, ”You won’t be scolded.”

According to his deduction, Luo Qianqian had him collect evidence merely to avoid hassle. Based on the call Luo Xiying had just made, it seemed someone had already targeted her regarding the Luo Family. Just a child, yet she had to bear so much, Bai Yixian couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Luo Qianqian.

Listening to the female doctor making a call, it seemed Bai Yixian had already arrived.

”Please call Yi Muhuan in, and step out,” Luo Qianqian said coldly, her tone flat.

”Alright...” The female doctor felt completely like a puppet being led by the nose, and the one leading her was just a child.

Seeing the man who entered the medical room, the female doctor then knew the one who entered was the perpetrator, her expression turning strange for a moment.

”Luo Qianqian, are you alright?” Yi Muhuan asked, showing a smile as he looked at Luo Qianqian sitting up in bed leaning against the pillow.

Luo Qianqian looked at the familiar smile, bowed her head with a bitter smile, and murmured, ”Illusions are always entrancing.” She said, ”Yi Muhuan, thank you for saving me.”

”Don’t mention it, we’re friends.” Yi Muhuan listened to Luo Qianqian’s gentle tone, his lips curved in an irrepressible pride. If her friend hadn’t let slip, he would not have known that she couldn’t swim.

”Friends? That’s too lofty for me. It’s better if we don’t know each other in the future, remaining strangers is enough.” Luo Qianqian’s calm voice came through.

”Not too lofty, not too lofty,” Yi Muhuan said, but his expression suddenly changed. ”What do you mean? Is this how you treat your lifesaver?”

”It’s a fact you saved my life, but I wonder if Young Master Yi is aware that the swimming pool has installed surveillance?” Luo Qianqian spoke softly, ”Surely Young Master Yi knows what surveillance is, right?”

”Surveillance?” Yi Muhuan’s face turned pale abruptly. ”What do you mean by that?”

”If you don’t want others to find out, don’t do it—that simple logic, you don’t need a grade-schooler to teach you, right?” Luo Qianqian scoffed, pointing at the computer. ”The evidence is right there, does Young Master Yi still want to deny it?”

Yi Muhuan looked at the computer, frowned, and clicked the mouse a few times. Only then did his expression become somewhat colorful. ”Since you knew, why did you ask me to come in?”

Luo Qianqian shook her head and sighed to herself. The current Yi Muhuan was indeed not the Yi Muhuan of old; he was too impatient, admitting it so quickly? With such clarity she spoke, ”I’m telling Young Master Yi that from now on, you take your highway, and I’ll take my byway. You can do as you please, just don’t pin your schemes on me. And by the way, tell your respected father that if such a thing happens even once more, I assure you that your family will decline day by day.”

”You dare!” Yi Muhuan glared at Luo Qianqian with fists clenched tight, his eyes widened in anger.

”If you try to scheme against the Luo family through me again, see if I don’t dare. At the very least, I belong to the Luo family!” Luo Qianqian coldly snorted twice, her lips slightly pursed. ”To pick on a kid like me, how could Young Master Yi stoop so low? Don’t you feel the age gap between us?” Her cold words step by step exposed the schemes of the Yi family. Having questioned Luo Xiying before, Luo Qianqian was already sharp, and everything became an imminent answer.

”You! What do you want then?” Yi Muhuan looked at Luo Qianqian, his face red with rage and eyes fierce.

”I’ve already said it. Stop targeting me, keep your distance, and let’s put this behind us.” Luo Qianqian chuckled lightly. ”You could ask your father to destroy the surveillance data, but why do you think I don’t have a backup?”

”Then give me your backup!” Yi Muhuan yelled at Luo Qianqian.

”Sorry, but I need to keep it for self-defense. People like you, I really can’t trust,” Luo Qianqian said as she looked at the vicious Yi Muhuan, her lips slightly parted, her merciless words uttered one by one. ”With your intelligence, you still need to pull strings to get into high school. I really couldn’t care less. Perhaps your father should think about having a second child early, so you don’t lead the once glorious Yi family to its downfall.”

”Luo Qianqian, you remember this!”

”I’ve remembered, what can you do to me?” Luo Qianqian watched the infuriated Yi Muhuan pointing at her and felt somewhat relieved, her expression indifferent. ”I would never stoop to your level!”

How had she become so obsessed with that false kindness back then? Luo Qianqian shook her head, feeling resentful for her once wholehearted self.

”Qianqian.” He Wenyu came into the infirmary with Bai Yixian, looking at Yi Muhuan who was on guard. ”What else do you want to do?”

”Luo Qianqian, you’ve won,” Yi Muhuan said, looking at Bai Yixian and forcing a smile. ”The great Boss Bai of Wanhai Tower running errands for you, I have nothing to say.”

”Nothing to say? Then say no more, goodbye,” Luo Qianqian chuckled lightly, finally relaxing when she saw Bai Yixian, and spoke cheerfully.

”Goodbye!” Yi Muhuan slammed the door as he left, people outside the door looking bewildered, not understanding what had happened.

Luo Qianqian watched the direction Yi Muhuan had left in, her nose tingling: goodbye, my ’first love.’ Goodbye, my lover from a past life.
