Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 343: Chapter 325: The ’Trial’ of the Luo Family

The joyful times are always fleeting, Luo Qianqian deeply agreed, and upon opening her eyes, it was already the next day, and Hei Yu had sent a message saying that her Eldest Uncle was already waiting, and it was only 6:30 in the morning, already waiting, how early???

”Eldest Uncle.” With Hu Si’s help, Luo Qianqian removed all the medical equipment from herself and was silently pushed into the bathroom to wash up. She dawdled for quite a while but still had to face it. Before leaving, she smacked her face hard a few times and then went out with a beaming smile, while Xu Tianyi had already gone to school and would come over after school.

The Luo Family’s Eldest Uncle looked at Luo Qianqian with a very sad expression: ”You’re awake? If you haven’t slept enough, continue sleeping, it’s alright.”

Luo Qianqian shivered and quickly shook her head, ”What is Eldest Uncle talking about? It’s not good to keep an elder waiting.” Although her tone was very serious, her heart was pounding, not knowing why it was beating so fast.

”Ah, Mr. Hu has been troubled, I’ll send him back tonight.” The Luo Family’s Eldest Uncle took over the wheelchair and slowly pushed it onto the elevator: ”Don’t shoulder everything alone, family is supposed to share joys and sufferings.”

Luo Qianqian felt somewhat baffled but didn’t respond, merely nodding her head. Talking too much at this time could easily lead to mistakes.

However, when sitting in the back of the car, she came to know the reason. It was because of the messages on her phone, which she had been ignoring, from Qin Nuan and Wei Ming. In short, the Luo Family knew everything that should and shouldn’t be known.

Instantly, she grimaced, ”Eldest Uncle, will Grandfather skin me?” Just planning the earthquake drill was enough for them to handle, and luckily, Qin Nuan took half the responsibility; otherwise, she would definitely have been intensely interrogated today.

”How could that be?” The Luo Family’s Eldest Uncle chuckled, his eyes watching the traffic light ahead: ”We’re just worried about you, don’t think too much, if the family can help, don’t hesitate to ask.”

Luo Qianqian was slightly startled, not quite understanding the meaning of her uncle’s words—what could the family help with?

Upon arriving at the Luo Family’s home, it was not as tense as Luo Qianqian had imagined, nor was everyone still in bed as she had anticipated, especially the two brothers who were oblivious to the situation had clear bags under their eyes, which made her feel somewhat guilty.

Luo Yanhao lifted Luo Qianqian out of the car, and Luo Yanhai wheeled the chair, even gently patting her unwashed hair of the last two days, which was very gentle.

He’s not drugged, is he? Luo Qianqian only felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.

Upon seeing Luo Qianqian entering the house, Yue Tingyu hurriedly greeted her with a smile: ”Qianqian, you’re here. Come, come, Grandma made your favorite century egg and lean pork porridge, as well as spare rib corn soup, and fresh shrimp egg custard. Haven’t eaten yet, right? Have some quickly.” Her voice was very gentle, but Luo Qianqian could hear a bit of hoarseness and saw redness in her eyes. It seemed that no one had slept well the night she was away.

She quickly grinned from ear to ear: ”I haven’t eaten yet, so it’s just in time. Grandma, you’ve worked hard. Qianqian loves Grandma the most.”

However, when wheeled in front of the dining table, she was stunned. Everyone was eating century egg and lean pork porridge with pickles, all the pickles were green, coupled with boiled eggs. Particularly, a huge pot of soup and a huge bowl of egg custard were placed right in front of her, obviously specially prepared; she felt a sourness in her nose and grinned, ”It smells so good, no one is allowed to compete with me.”

Seeing her granddaughter’s antics, Yue Tingyu felt even more distressed and hurriedly served a bowl of soup to cool on the side.

Luo Qianqian pouted, ”Grandma, I’m not an idiot. If it’s hot, I can blow on it. You should eat too. I can take care of myself.”

”Hmph.” As she listened to Old Master Luo grunt, Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue and sat upright, ”Good morning, Grandpa. I just saw the food and didn’t notice you. Don’t be angry; next time I will definitely see you before the food.”

How could Luo Qianqian not see the chilling aura of Old Master Luo sitting at the head of the table? She was only pretending not to see because she really did not know what to say.

As everyone seated and watched TV, they began to sit down for the meal, and it became very quiet. Luo Qianqian’s heart was trembling.

”Eat.” When Old Master Luo spoke, everyone quietly picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and Luo Qianqian, with trembling hands, managed to eat her meal without losing any words.

After the meal, Jia Ning and Ye Qianying helped Yue Tingyu and the family’s housekeeper to clean up, while Old Master Luo led everyone to the living room, with Luo Yanhao pushing Luo Qianqian.

”Luo Qianqian!” Old Master Luo suddenly spoke.

Luo Qianqian subconsciously replied, ”Yes,” but the sudden sound frightened her into starting... to hiccup, ”Hic... hic... hic...”

”Are you laying eggs like an old hen now?” Luo Yanran mockingly said upon hearing Luo Qianqian’s hiccups. His eyes were also devoid of warmth, extremely annoyed by Luo Qianqian’s secrecy.

Old Master Luo frowned, and Luo Xiying quickly offered his niece a glass of water, ”Take it slow, don’t rush, drink some water.” He certainly did not want someone as old as him to be punished by the family patriarch to squat like a soldier in the yard again, last night was embarrassing enough, standing military posture for three hours in this cold weather. Considering his injuries, he carefully thought it over, and that led to Luo Yanwu confessing about Luo Qianqian’s symptoms and the ’Predictive Dream’ to Qin Nuan, which Old Master Luo took very seriously.

However, what the Luo family was most concerned about currently was Luo Qianqian’s aftereffects, which even required a machine to sleep properly. She had to wait until her injuries healed and exams ended before she could start her recovery treatment.

”What are your plans moving forward?” Seeing that his granddaughter seemed a bit better, Old Master Luo continued.

Luo Qianqian, holding her cup of water, paused, then said, ”Study, exams, go to school, give gifts at Fourth Brother’s performance, exams, then go back for more training.”

Old Master Luo nodded, ”In the meantime, are you going to the school where that Xu family boy is?” Knowing that Luo Qianqian wouldn’t be returning except for the exams, old Master Luo decided, ”I won’t bother you during this period, but you must eat your meals at home. Can you do that?”

Luo Qianqian nodded vigorously, ”Of course, the food at the base tastes terrible, and its colors are so bright I suspect they might be using hormones.” She hesitated for a moment, ”Can I bring Xu Tianyi, the teacher, and Doctor Hu with me then?”

Old Master Luo looked at Luo Qianqian and nodded helplessly, then asked, ”Are you in the same class with that boy, or what grade are you going to?”

Luo Qianqian’s face turned red, ”Being in the same class as Xu Tianyi is fine; he will tutor me in the evenings.”

Old Master Luo’s expression darkened and after a long pause, he waved his hand, ”I won’t meddle with whatever you do, just don’t cause any fatalities!”

Luo Qianqian’s expression shifted from puzzled to bashful, and then she quickly showed annoyance, ”Grandpa, what are you saying? He’s not that kind of person.” We’re not even that close yet.
