Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 244: Chapter 227: Dog Blood Drama (Part 1)

”So, is this the person?” Looking at the image on the computer screen, Luo Qianqian’s face was riddled with embarrassment. Although the image quality was poor and somewhat blurry, the guy’s long corridor was not only ugly but also short and fat, with a key detail being his ”kill Matt” hairstyle covering his eyes.

”That doesn’t make sense; I haven’t seen this person in the top ten.” Luo Shufan shook his head. ”I don’t have any impression of him. Is he from our school?”

He Wenyu looked for a long time before speaking calmly, ”It’s obviously a lackey, isn’t it? Why would the mastermind show up in person? And clearly, this is someone timid and intimidated, threatened into taking care of this girl. Plus, during the holidays, this guy must have had tutoring, with an alibi proving he wasn’t present.”

”How do you know he would be in tutoring?” Bai Yizhu frowned. Even he never needed to go for tutoring, okay?

”Because this is Experimental High School, a gathering place for students who want to get into university, especially good ones.” He Wenyu proudly posed with his hand as if he were holding a pistol under his chin.

”Why not just ask the main person involved?” Luo Qianqian looked at the girl sitting quietly to the side and the middle-aged woman. ”Even though my brother disdains her, a girl like that still has her pride. With neither money nor looks, and poor academic performance, why would she be chosen?”

The girl paused slightly, raising her head to glance at Luo Qianqian with an indescribable look in her eyes, then lowered her head after a moment.

”It’s not him; he just takes me home.” The girl said softly, knowing full well who was on the computer screen without having to look.

”Actually, this girl still needs to take the college entrance exam. Such rumors are bad for her reputation and her exams,” Luo Qianqian said. The girl’s response was expected, but since she didn’t keep insisting on her brother’s involvement, Luo Qianqian was happy to help her off the hook.

The middle-aged woman’s eyes lit up. She had been shocked and angry when the teacher told her about the incident, but having calmed down, her first concern was her child’s future. Her eyes flickered with indecision as she looked at Luo Qianqian.

”Anyway, there will be a physical examination for the college entrance exam, and the whole school’s blood samples are on file. Just preserve the fetus’s blood sample, and even if we don’t talk now, the truth will come out eventually,” Luo Qianqian laughed lightly, playing with the keychain in her hand. ”To speak or not to speak is just a matter of time.”

The girl in the school uniform looked palely at Luo Qianqian, with nothing to refute her words.

Luo Qianqian smiled sweetly, ”As a bargain aunt, I have to know who dares to make my brother a happy dad, right? I won’t let this go. Whether it hurts short term or long, you decide for yourselves.”

”What do you mean happy dad... I’ve told you...” Luo Shufan found his sister’s words highly displeasing—how did it end up being him as the father?

”Yes, yes, you’ve said you didn’t do anything; if it were Brother Jiayou, I might believe it a little. But my brother, oh, you’ve picked the wrong guy.” Watching Lin Xu shake his head helplessly to the side, Luo Qianqian stuck her tongue out under An Zilan’s glare.

”This child...” An Zilan was about to say something but was stopped by Lin Xu.

”What do you want to do?” The girl’s voice trembled as she spoke. The middle-aged woman was about to say something but was stopped by the girl.

”First of all, after this incident, Experimental High School definitely won’t keep you. There are school officials here; you can verify it for yourself. The school won’t tolerate anything that damages its reputation,” Luo Qianqian said serenely, looking at a certain leader sitting upright to the side.

Hearing his name mentioned, the leader coughed. ”Regarding this incident, according to...”

”Just give us the outcome,” Bai Yizhu said coldly. This is a police station—not the place to be bureaucratic.

”You will be persuaded to leave or expelled,” the leader said immediately.

The girl’s face turned even paler.

Luo Qianqian continued, ”Did someone promise you that even if something happened, he would still marry you, and ensure you a stable college entrance or even get you into a university without the need for exams?”

The girl looked utterly astonished, her facial expression beyond being described as pale and powerless from fright—it was an abnormally ghastly white, just like a piece of A4 paper.

”Did they also swear to always love you, with grand vows like ’if I break this promise, let thunder strike me down’?” He Wenyu interjected from the side.

The girl was even more surprised, pointing at them, ”How do you, you know about this?”

The middle-aged woman looked at her daughter speechlessly. Had she been too protective? How could her daughter be deceived by such words? High school—even if they had the parents’ consent, how many make it to the end anyway?

”Bro, there are people in your school with such capabilities? Hook me up with a guaranteed admission spot too; I don’t want to do homework every day,” Luo Qianqian said, pulling on Luo Shufan’s sleeve and acting coquettishly, but her face showed sarcasm.

”Me too, I want one,” said He Wenyu, standing on the other side of Luo Shufan, ”But what makes such a person eligible? Even if they are relatives, they can’t stop the gossip of the entire school.”

”That’s a good rhetorical question,” Luo Qianqian nodded affirmatively on the side.

An Zilan cupped her forehead and whispered to Lin Xu, ”This is bad, Xiao Yu has gone off course. How am I going to explain this to Yueran and her husband?”

”My brother got a nomination because he has never fallen from the top of his class since the beginning of his schooling, the biggest name on the honor roll has always been my brother’s. He excels in character and learning. He has a well-rounded development in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education. He cares for the elderly and loves his younger siblings. The neighbors have nothing but praise for him...” As Luo Qianqian spoke, not only Luo Shufan, An Zilan, Lin Xu, He Wenyu, Bai Yizhu, and Zhang Ye all turned their heads away, unable to bear looking directly. This wasn’t praise; it sounded like an exaggerated match-making introduction. ”However, as for that nomination someone else desperately wants to ruin my brother’s reputation for, my brother doesn’t give a damn. You may think it’s the best thing ever, but my brother simply despises it. He is someone who can rely on himself!”

”Exactly, who needs it?” He Wenyu nodded in agreement.

”I need it...” Bai Yizhu murmured, then seeing the indifferent expressions of the three beside him, he had to nod and say, ”Who needs it, anyway.”

”Qianqian!” An Zilan stepped forward and slapped Luo Qianqian across the face. Luo Qianqian was stunned, Luo Shufan was shocked, and the whole room fell silent. An Zilan held back tears, ”You made such a big decision without even asking your mom and brother? You’ve hurt your brother!”

”Mom!” Luo Shufan frowned, looked at his sister’s incredulous face, and took her into his arms, ”What my sister said is exactly what I wanted to say. I have confidence in myself. Even without that quota, I can still stand there. I just don’t give a damn about it, I can achieve it on my own.”

”Auntie,” Bai Yizhu hurriedly supported An Zilan, ”Have you ever seen Xiao Fan criticized at a parent-teacher conference? Do you think Luo Shufan, who has been first in his grade for three years in a row, would care about a trivial quota? You’re underestimating him, you’re underestimating your own children. If Lin Jiayou can enter such a good university from an unremarkable high school, who do you think played the biggest role?”

An Zilan looked at her hand in disbelief; she couldn’t believe she had actually hit her daughter, the daughter she had always treasured in her palm. She believed; yet when she heard her daughter could make her own decisions, she didn’t want to understand her. She always felt that as a mother, she was being abandoned by her children.

”Qianqian...”

Luo Qianqian tugged at the corner of her mouth, ”Mom should trust brother as much as I do; we are connected by blood, the closest people in this world.” With that, she touched her brother’s hand, moving it away from her face, ”It doesn’t hurt at all, if mom hits me, then so be it. It’s been so long since I’ve been hit, I’m actually itching for it,” she said with a playful and cheeky expression, without a trace of holding a grudge.

”Yi Han,” the schoolgirl suddenly said, ”It was Yi Han.”
