Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 248: Chapter 231: Did I Dig Up Your Ancestral Grave?

”I’ll treat everyone to a meal over the weekend when we go out,” Luo Qianqian said, patting her small envelope with a face full of pride.

”Okay, just be careful we don’t eat you into bankruptcy,” Li Qi chuckled and nodded, ”Should we invite Chu Ci and the others?”

”And Xiao Yu,” Luo Qianqian added, still with a proud expression, ”Sis has money, inviting you all to splurge.”

”I’d actually prefer to eat what Xiao Yu makes, but now that it’s cold, we can’t have a picnic,” Li Qi sighed.

”I’ll go home and ask for her opinion then; she might agree,” Luo Qianqian blinked, noting that lately, because of studying, they’d almost always been ordering takeout, with Xiao Yu cooking only once or twice a week at most, lighting the stove at home just three to five times a week.

”Qianqian, is that person looking for you?” Pei Yutian suddenly grabbed Luo Qianqian, pointing to a figure not far from the school gate.

Luo Qianqian frowned and stared for a long time, not very familiar. Did she know him? ”I don’t think so, I don’t know him,” she shook her head.

”Luo Qianqian.” As they reached the gate, the figure called out. Pei Yutian froze, was this his precognitive ability?

”You are...” Luo Qianqian looked at the high school student in front of her who could be considered handsome, ”Yi...”

She hadn’t finished her sentence when the high school student in front of her interrupted her, ”Let’s talk.”

”I mean, we can, but...”

”Bring your brother,” the high school student said succinctly.

Luo Qianqian paused, nodded, then turned to her friends and said, ”If you have time, can you guys wait with me for my brother?” She was still a bit afraid of being alone with the person in front of her.

The Pei brothers shrugged indifferently, and Li Qi, seeing the two nod, said, ”They can accompany you; I have tutoring later.”

Luo Qianqian nodded, ”Then take care on your way.” She then picked up her phone, explained the situation to Luo Shufan, and sent a message to Bai Yizhu and He Wenyu.

”Who is that guy?” Pei Yutian was all gossip-face, ”He looks good, your type?”

”Not even my type, no,” Luo Qianqian decisively shook her head, ”How to put it, just someone I’ve seen, can’t really say I know him, um.”

”You look quite afraid of him,” Pei Yuhao remarked.

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes internally, wasn’t it obvious why she’d be scared? Her own brother, her very life, had been used to lure someone into trouble, and it had nearly been her brother who had been dragged down.

”My brother doesn’t let me talk to strangers, doesn’t let me go anywhere with strangers, or else I’ll get spanked when I get home,” Luo Qianqian feigned distress, her face looking tearfully aggrieved, ”I feel like a grade-schooler, at risk of being kidnapped.”

”No one kidnaps someone as big as you, who already has memories. Even if taken, you can’t be raised into a loyal follower,” Pei Yuhao shook his head, then suddenly brightened up, ”Though you could be groomed as a child bride,” then shook his head again, ”But you’re so thin, nothing much to offer, no figure, no chest, no butt, you don’t look like you can bear sons, don’t worry, no one would kidnap you.” He concluded definitively.

”Did you know that human organs can be trafficked?” Luo Qianqian narrowed her eyes in a warning manner.

Pei Yuhao fell silent.

”You really do look a bit like a school kid. Are you one meter three now? Do you still ride the bus for free?” Pei Yuhao flashed a mischievous smile again.

”Are you so tall that people would suspect you’re using a fake student ID when you hold one?” Luo Qianqian smiled as she walked up to Pei Yuhao. Pei Yutian quickly moved away from the center of the conflict, watching his sister stomp on his brother’s foot, his face twitching rapidly, a sight that looked painful.

”Qianqian,” Luo Shufan arrived just in time, looking helplessly at his sister’s tantrum, ”Stop making a scene, apologize now.”

”I’m sorry,” Luo Qianqian said, her voice apologetic, but her foot ground down a few more times before she moved in front of everyone else, ”Pei Yutian, thanks for keeping me company.”

”It’s nothing,” Pei Yutian smiled, dragging his brother who had a very odd expression on his face, and greeted politely, ”Brother, see you, Qianqian, see you tomorrow.”

”Hmm,” Luo Shufan knew a few people close to his sister well, he even had their phone numbers stored in his cell.

”Let’s go,” Yi Muhuan said with a cold snort and led the way to the coffee shop on one side of the school.

”How did he come to find you?” Luo Shufan asked loud enough for both to hear.

”I’m easier to talk to,” Luo Qianqian nodded affirmatively, rolling her eyes internally, Of course, if he came directly to you, would you even go with him? Coming to me, he might have a chance.

”What’s going on?” Luo Shufan ordered milk cake for his sister and looked indifferently at the unfamiliar stranger sitting across from him.

Yi Muhuan sipped his coffee, ”You must know it’s me by now, right? That woman must have told you.”

”Didn’t the school authorities talk to you?” Luo Qianqian coldly sneered, How thick can your face get? Accusing someone only to be counterattacked, and you still have the face to claim you did it?

Yi Muhuan looked at Luo Shufan, ”I heard you already gave up submitting?”

Luo Shufan scoffed, ”Even without it, I can still get in, but after what you’ve done, you definitely don’t stand a chance.”

”How do you know I don’t stand a chance? And do you think I need that kind of thing to achieve my scores?” Yi Muhuan sneered, ”Make an offer, how can you let off the Yi family?” From a carefree rich second generation to now a commoner without much pocket money, Yi Muhuan felt a huge gap; he knew his family had become like this because they offended that one family in the Capital City. With his friends’ help, although he barely managed to stabilize, he had to start everything over and even had to retake the entrance exam after coming back from abroad. Fortunately, this incident was settled quietly with money, sparing him from waiting another year to retake the exam.

”Originally, you were the ones who troubled us, and now you are still asking for mercy; have we ever initiated?” Luo Shufan chuckled, ”If something happened to my sister, your family would have to pay back tenfold.”

”No wonder Qianqian mysteriously missed the experiment that day, you found out,” Yi Muhuan sneered, ”Your Luo Family cannot dominate alone; this is not the Capital City, the emperor is far away, don’t go too far!”

”Too far? Who’s going too far? Falsely accusing my brother and you still think you’re right? Believe it or not, I can make it so you can’t even take the college entrance exam?” Luo Qianqian threw her milk on Yi Muhuan’s face, feeling secretly thrilled, This feels good, ”Did my Luo Family dig up your family’s graves? Can we control your study abroad, your family business? Do you think we practice divination? Even if we did, you offend us and still expect our help, why don’t you reach for the sky?”

Yi Muhuan wiped his face with a napkin, a smirk hanging on his face, ”I’m interested in you now, woman.”

”Interest my ass! I have no interest in you, throw your piss and see your own face! Still calling me a woman, think you’re some domineering CEO? I’m a child, underage, your interest in me just means you’re a pervert, it’s illegal!” she said, pulling out a wallet and throwing a hundred yuan banknote, she picked up her backpack, dragging her brother, and left the seat.

”Since you refuse to back down, my parents wouldn’t oppose becoming in-laws with the Luo Family,” Yi Muhuan said with a chilling smile yet still curling the corners of his mouth, ”I don’t mind waiting for you to grow up.”

”Are you a freak?” Luo Qianqian squinted her eyes, ”I don’t mind making your Yi Family vanish from this city!” she said, taking out her phone with a smiling face, ”Dare you say to make my Luo Family disappear? Dare you, and I’ll call our family right now.”

Yi Muhuan opened his mouth but ultimately didn’t speak, the chill in his eyes betraying his feelings.

”Even if we don’t mention today’s events, the Luo Family will come to know, do you think the Luo Family will sit back and let you act against us?” Luo Shufan, pulling his sister, walked out of the coffee shop, ”Next time you come for my sister, don’t blame me for taking action. I’m not made of clay.” He too had a temper, and not a small one at that.
