Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 320: Chapter 302: Preparations Before Action

Qin Liang did not ask what she and Qin Nuan had discussed, which was unexpected to Luo Qianqian, but he also did not take the initiative to confess everything, after all, even her own little sister had said nothing.

Luo Xiying was completely unaware of this matter, spending all day in the dormitory playing dead, refusing to even step out the door for fear of being discovered and affecting subsequent actions.

”So what you’re saying is, you still want to bring your little niece along?” In the dormitory, Qin Liang, looking at the pale-faced Luo Xiying lying on the bed, asked with furrowed brows and a grave voice.

Luo Xiying nodded her head, fiddling with the lighter in her hand, not looking into Qin Liang’s eyes, ”She can’t stay here forever, the more she experiences now, the less she’ll suffer later on.”

”Isn’t it a bit unfair to treat a little girl like this?” Qin Liang expressed his disapproval with a serious face, ”Is she the only girl your family can’t raise properly? Do you have to force her to be like a boy? This isn’t child’s play, she could really get hurt.”

”You think I don’t know that?!” Luo Xiying threw the lighter aside and sat up, ”It’s the path she chose for herself, who forced her? If she insists on taking this path, what can I say?” Her face was full of annoyance, but she was powerless. It was the Wei Family who had sent Luo Qianqian here; he had no say in the matter.

It was then that Qin Liang realized his tone had been too harsh. Some matters were not within their power to resolve. He sighed lightly, ”She’s still young.”

”She’ll grow into it, the children of the Luo Family are not so fragile.” Luo Xiying lay down again, turned away, unwilling to look at anyone. How could he not know how difficult this path was? However, he was powerless to change it, and couldn’t even intervene, for fear of bringing even more disaster to Luo Qianqian.

Qin Liang nodded his head and sighed softly.

After their talk, Qin Liang returned to the office to plan the operation. Kou Ming, the newly appointed instructor who had just returned from vacation, was stunned by the magnitude of the task at hand.

Kou Ming, ”Qin Liang, I just got married, and you welcome me back with such a big surprise?”

”I really wonder if you’ve offended someone and they’ve set you up, Why else would you be transferred here right after getting married?” Qin Liang looked at his weary friend with a mocking laughter, ”Aren’t you afraid your sister-in-law will ignore you?”

”My wife isn’t that petty. You think she’s like your little Li?” Kou Ming showed his dissatisfaction, placed his luggage by the door, plopped down on a stool, and looked around the room full of books with surprise, ”What is this, you’re running a primary school now?”

”Get lost.” The moment he heard the name Xiao Li, Qin Liang began to get a headache. All this had started from a blind date...

——

The girl slowly walked into the café and, seeing the tall, handsome, and refined Qin Liang, her eyes lit up, and she sat down opposite him, ”Are you Mr. Qin Liang?”

After being touched by the gentle voice and looking up, Qin Liang felt even more that his mother’s judgment was apt. The makeup wasn’t heavy, but it highlighted a pair of watery eyes, and her cherry-pink lips made her voice sound as pleasant as that of a songbird.

Qin Liang nodded, ”Hello, I am Qin Liang.”

”I am Yang Li, you can call me Xiao Li.” The girl obviously liked Qin Liang’s appearance, she smiled, ordered coffee and dived into conversation: ”Do you have a house?”

”Yes, two bedrooms and one living room.” Qin Liang answered methodically.

”A car?”

”No, but I can buy one anytime.”

”How much do you have in savings?”

”Six figures.”

”I am very satisfied with you...”

Before the girl could finish her sentence, Qin Nuan appeared, directly sat beside Qin Liang, and downed the coffee Qin Liang had ordered but had not yet had a chance to drink. Qin Liang usually didn’t drink such things; it was just that sitting without ordering anything looked bad, and it was polite to have something.

Seeing Qin Nuan, the girl exploded, ”Who is this? You have a girlfriend and you still come for blind dates? You’re deceiving my feelings!” The girl slammed the table and stood up, her face ugly with anger.

Qin Nuan unexpectedly grabbed his arm and leaned on his shoulder, beginning to cry.

Compared to the blind date, his sister was naturally more important. Qin Liang busily wiped away his sister’s tears.

The girl, however, was furious. She stopped a waiter who was delivering coffee to the next table, snatched the coffee, and threw the hot drink all over Qin Nuan. Qin Liang, acting on instinct, intercepted it, and it all spilled onto his arm. The girl simply left, not giving a single look to the two of them, continuing to curse ’shameless couple’ and the like.

”Nuan, Nuannuan, are you alright?” Qin Liang, not caring about his own arm, first asked his crying sister.

It turned out his sister had just left home without any money, feeling wronged, thirsty, and tired, and had stumbled upon him before she even had a chance to complain.

Later, when the girl learned of the two’s relationship, she tried to explain by sending someone over, blocking the door to explain personally, intercepting halfway to explain, and even stopping Qin Nuan to curry favor, after all, a man with assets, good looks, gentleness and manners was hard to find. But Qin Liang wasn’t listening. He didn’t want someone who almost harmed his family member, even if they were exceptional. He simply enlisted in the military straight away, avoiding the girl’s entanglements.

——

”You arrived just in time, help me see how to arrange this properly.” Qin Liang had a gloomy expression, ”Every time I see the Luo family boy, it’s nothing good.”

”Luo family boy? Luo Xiying?” Kou Ming looked at Qin Liang in surprise. ”Isn’t that guy injured and recuperating?”

”He’s injured alright, but do you think he’s someone who can stay idle?” Qin Liang shook his head, nodding mysteriously to the side: ”He’s hiding out for some peace and quiet over here.”

Kou Ming’s expression turned a bit strange, ”I thought he couldn’t even get out of bed?”

Qin Liang thought of Luo Xiying’s pale face and felt a bit sympathetic. A face that dark turning pale meant he must be in a lot of pain, right?

”You’d better help me out, or I’ll assign you to the stinkiest dormitory, and see if your sister-in-law despises you when you get back home.” Qin Liang threw the notebook onto the desk next to him with a look of despair, ”I don’t even know where to find a terrain map. I’m also unclear about the layout of the building; there’s no signal here...”

”Isn’t there someone specially here to train in this area?” Kou Ming, looking at the plan written in the notebook, a glimmer of understanding in his eyes, reminded him.

”Her? A talent...” Just as Qin Liang was about to launch into a big mockery, he suddenly remembered the reason why Luo Qianqian was exceptionally recruited and his eyes brightened.

”Wei Guang, Wei Guang, call Ye Meng here.” Qin Liang dashed to the door in three strides, pulled it open, and yelled out the door. A gust of cold wind blew in, prompting Kou Ming to tighten his clothes.

”It’s always one thing after another with you,” remarked Kou Ming shaking his head, his eyes passing over the books filling the room with a hint of clarity.

”What’s up, Boss?” Wei Guang, seeing Qin Liang in such a rush, came sprinting with a speed fit for a hundred-meter dash, bringing Luo Qianqian into the office looking perplexed, ”What’s happened? She’s still young, don’t be angry, you’ll do yourself harm...”

”What are you thinking?” Qin Liang rolled his eyes, hurriedly dragged Luo Qianqian to a computer desk that had been unused and had become a dumping ground for clutter, swept the debris off onto the floor, pointing to the dust-covered computer, ”Can you get the interior layout of this location?” He held a map of the area, comparing it, but there was little detail on the map.

Luo Qianqian sighed; if it were the era of smartphones, wouldn’t any map app handle this easily?

Turning on the computer, waiting quietly... one minute, two minutes, three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes—finally it booted up, and Luo Qianqian’s face was lined with frustration, what was this situation?

”Probably, it hasn’t been used for too long...” Qin Liang was also somewhat embarrassed, he never had this slow a boot-up time that he could sleep through it when playing games at home or at an internet cafe. The network here was too slow to play the games he used to play, so he had left the computer unused.

Luo Qianqian didn’t say anything, following what Hei Yu taught her, she reinstalled the system, and then with the help of satellites overhead, she obtained the terrain map and even infiltrated the interior design company to get the internal layout.

Qin Liang was amazed, ”You’re not just good for eating, you’re actually useful.”
