Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 210: Chapter 195: An Zilan’s Superb Granny

”Who are you?” Luo Shufan asked calmly.

”Who am I? I am your ancestor! Give back my family’s money now, or don’t think my son will let you come back home!” Luo Shufan frowned, then heard Lin Jiayou’s faint voice coming through, ”Granny, I’ve already said that Qianqian will return it, and the money belongs to my aunt; it has nothing to do with you.”

”It has nothing to do with me? What’s hers is my son’s, and what’s my son’s is mine. You ungrateful child, isn’t this all for you? Aren’t you afraid these two burdens will take away your money?”

Through these sentences, Luo Shufan knew the identity of the person on the other side, it was Lin Xu’s mother.

”Granny, Qianqian is not refusing to give it back. We have an emergency!” Luo Shufan said calmly.

”Granny? Who are you calling granny? I don’t have a grandson like you! And there’s a thief in the family, not a single one of you is worry-free!”

”Old lady, mind your words. My granny is still alive; it’s not your place to act as my granny,” Luo Shufan clenched his fists tightly. How could his mother have such an unbearable granny? ”Plus, the money my sister took was given by her classmate. Even if she took all the money from her maternal home, what about it? My uncle had already made a clear agreement with my mom; he won’t touch our money here, and he won’t withhold the money owed to you, so don’t overstep.”

”Granny, if you don’t pass me the phone now, I’m calling my dad.” Lin Jiayou was truly furious by then, dealing with such a shameless old lady was impossible. He couldn’t hit or scold her after all, she was his granny. Though she talked nicely, the money would definitely go to that spoiled child again, according to this old lady, that spoiled child was her golden grandchild.

”You ungrateful brat, I’m trying to help you, and you’re arguing with me? Truly motherless! Hand over the red envelope! I’m taking it away!”

”Impossible.” Lin Jiayou sneered, ”You haven’t given a single red envelope and yet you want to take away stuff from Qianqian’s family? On what grounds?”

”Believe it or not, I will beat you to death!”

”Mom, I already told you, whatever our relatives pitched in, I’ve given to you, but don’t covet gifts from others. Yours are already in your bag. These are all from Zilan’s family; you can’t take them.” Lin Xu’s voice also came through the phone, then the call got disconnected. Luo Shufan furrowed his brows, was this the reason why his mom never talked about Lin Xu’s family?

Soon after, Luo Qianqian and Pei Yutian came back, looking at her brother’s gloomy face, Luo Qianqian furrowed her brows, ”What happened?”

”It’s nothing. I’m going to get Zhuzi out; you all wait for Big Brother Bai.” Then he turned and left.

So much had happened, and Luo Qianqian also felt a bit of a headache, sitting on a chair at the side. With nothing to do, her feet also started to feel sore, ”Pei Yutian, I’m sorry to trouble you and your brother, I didn’t expect so many things to happen.”

Pei Yutian was slightly startled and hurriedly waved his hand, ”It’s nothing significant. We also share the responsibility, for not managing the relationships between classmates well, but...” Pei Yutian shook his head, ”I guess, even if it were managed, it would still be the same.”

”I’m so tired.” Luo Qianqian leaned against the wall, slightly closing her eyes, ”Sometimes, I really feel like killing someone.”

”Calm down.” Bai Yizhu appeared in front of Luo Qianqian with a stern face, ”Once my brother sorts this out, I’ll take that person away first, you guys help me look after things for a while.”

Luo Qianqian was taken aback and nodded. Others might not know, but she knew that five years ago, this young man in front of her was already a little boss.

”What are you going to do?” Pei Yutian asked softly, not drawing any attention from passersby.

Bai Yizhu looked at Pei Yuhao and then back at Luo Qianqian’s trusting face, saying, ”Don’t ask childish questions, it’s adult business.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianqian almost burst out laughing. Knowing that the typically sunny Bai Yizhu rarely showed a cold expression, was this supposed to be a joke?

”Zhuzi, be careful; his dad has killed someone before,” Luo Qianqian whispered a reminder. ”Just a small punishment to set an example should suffice. Don’t get yourself into trouble.”

Bai Yizhu nodded nonchalantly.

”The adult world is so scary; I don’t want to grow up,” Pei Yutian shivered and blurted out.

Lin Jiayou hurried over and said to Luo Qianqian, ”I’m sorry.”

Luo Qianqian had no idea what had happened. ”What? You didn’t talk to my mom? Well, I’ll call her later then, no worries.” Luo Qianqian waved it off, unconcerned.

Lin Jiayou was stunned, relieved that Luo Qianqian was unaware of what had just happened, and without explaining, he knew he had to hurriedly go downstairs to make some phone calls.

”Brother, can you get my classmates out of here and let them go home? Zhuzi will lead the way.” Luo Qianqian didn’t feel like moving partly because her leg hurt too much and also because she was afraid she might impulsively do something.

”Okay,” Lin Jiayou nodded.

”Actually, there’s nothing wrong, we can just call home if we’re not coming back tonight, and they’d agree,” Pei Yutian whispered.

Luo Qianqian shook her head, looking at the wall opposite, ”Big Brother Bai won’t let this go so easily; don’t get yourselves involved.” Her tone shifted to one of desolation. ”If I had chosen the honors class from the beginning, would none of this have happened?”

Pei Yutian was taken aback, but shook his head with a bitter smile, ”You’ve said it yourself, even among the outstanding people there can be trash, and among the trash, there can be a phoenix. Those who are out to target you will do so no matter where you are.”

Luo Qianqian smiled. ”Thank you.”

After Pei Yuhao and Pei Yutian had left not long ago, an old lady with a couple rushed into the hospital. Luo Qianqian, seated with her head down, didn’t see the newcomers and was stunned by a slap.

”Luo Qianqian, give back the money you stole!” the old lady slapped Luo Qianqian on the face again.

Tears slid down Luo Qianqian’s cheeks instinctively. ”Who are you, and why are you hitting me!” During the toast at the men’s main table, Luo Qianqian was with Bai Yixian; while the parents went on stage, Luo Qianqian was in the makeup room; when heading to the bridal chamber, Luo Qianqian was in the car looking after the children. She had perfectly missed every chance to meet these people and thus did not recognize anyone here.

But seeing the carnation pinned on the old lady’s clothes, she guessed the identity and frowned, ”When did I take anything of yours?” Reaching into her pocket, she realized stunnedly that she had no pockets, no phone, not even any money on her, and could only silently pray for someone to come to her rescue quickly.

”Give back the money, or else today...”

”Or else what? I’ll give it back to my mom. As for you, what right do you have?” Luo Qianqian snorted coldly as she stood up, staying seated made her too passive, like a sitting duck unable to run if attacked.

Bai Yizhu, having bought some water, came back and, seeing the people confronting Luo Qianqian, was startled. He dropped the water and rushed to Luo Qianqian’s side to protect her: ”What are you trying to do?” He had seen the old lady on stage before, and had disliked her from the first sight, her mean looks giving away her unpleasant nature.

”So young and already seducing men, did this little vixen give you the money?” The old lady, attempting to slap Bai Yizhu, was blocked as he firmly grabbed her hand.

”No one dares to lay a hand on me except for my brother!”
