Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 364: Chapter 346: The King and Queen Make Their Entrance

”...” Guest? Qin Nuan had mentioned this issue before, but the three of them all knew that it was definitely real, and going there might result in injury. Within the circle, Luo Yanran did not have such good relations with artists.

”Haha, I came without being invited. What do you think about Ah Yuan’s guest?” a magnetic and deep voice loudly rang out. Everyone looked up, and in an instant, the flashes became a sea of lights, and the shutter sounds were incessant.

”It’s Famous Lu!!!”

”Lu Xunhuan, oh my god, the supporting guest Lu Xunhuan!!!”

”Quick, hold the headlines, the popular young actor and Famous Lu will head far to Sichuan Province to hold a concert!!!”

”Since there are already so many people here, adding me wouldn’t be too much, right?” The sound of a sweet laugh arose, and the reporters were overwhelmed, their flashes never ceasing like light bulbs.

”Famous Sun!!!”

”Oh my god, with both the king and queen supporting, Yhan Miyuan has really kept it hidden deep.”

The flashes flickered, yet Luo Yanran’s heart was collapsing with confusion. He had thought about inviting guests, but was this a joke? Even his own father might not be able to invite these two people. Whose hand was behind this? And it seemed that they currently didn’t have the funds to afford these two people’s appearance fees.

In front of the computer screen, seeing Luo Yanran slightly frown yet maintain a smile, Luo Qianqian’s beautiful eyes showed a bit of seriousness. These two people weren’t easily cajoled, and she hoped not to hear an answer like a sudden attack of conscience or ”no trivial matter before the nation.”

Seeing the live broadcast end, Luo Qianqian decisively called Qin Nuan, but the call was hung up. Moments later, a message arrived: In a meeting, will talk to you later.

In the face of such an issue, it was strange for Luo Qianqian to stay calm. She immediately opened the search engine to investigate the origins of these two, but the more she found, the tighter her frown became. Such people would not come cheap, and Luo Yanran was there for charity, unlikely to offer much for their appearance fees. So what drove them to volunteer for this?

Looking at Lu Xunhuan, who had always been scandal-free and bursting with popularity, and Sun Qing, who established her career with a pure image, Luo Qianqian’s frown deepened. She immediately called the person most likely to intervene—her Second Uncle, Luo Yanran’s real father, Luo Xihan.

She received a denial from him, and even stumbled upon other information: someone had secretly purchased a batch of goods? Compared to their previous purchases, it was considerably more, not less?

With such financial power and also needing influence, otherwise, they couldn’t have invited these two. From Luo Qianqian’s experience, these two were not people who could be invited with money alone.

In her mind, she checked through the people she knew, but she was surprised to find that those with influence would not spend so much money on such uncertain matters, especially since, apart from her and Qin Nuan, this news was mere hearsay; and those with money didn’t have the influence to invite these two.

In the midst of Luo Qianqian’s shocked suspicions, Qin Nuan’s call came through.

”Qianqian...” Qin Nuan’s voice came hesitantly.

”What’s wrong?” Luo Qianqian tightened her frown, feeling that something was off. Could it be that some major issue had arisen in the meeting? ”Is it a money issue?”

”It’s not...” Qin Nuan immediately denied, then a second later, a voice that sounded incredulous continued: ”Just now, from the way Famous Lu spoke, it seemed he wants to visit your Fourth Brother’s house, even saying he wants to meet his siblings...”

Luo Qianqian furrowed her brows. Siblings? Was it because of her brother or herself that these two bigshots came?

”What did my brother say?” Luo Qianqian clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with anxiety, feeling that some matters were beyond their ability to resolve.

”He said he’s currently living at the unit, and will talk about it after this matter is settled. He didn’t mention anyone at home.” Qin Nuan hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips: ”I feel, perhaps, the person who invited these two, is related to the Luo Family.”

Luo Qianqian frowned: ”I’ve made calls already, it’s not my Second Uncle, and besides him, no one else has the finances...”

”I feel like these two can’t be hired with just money,” said Qin Nuan directly.

”But, my grandpa... It’s impossible, it couldn’t be Grandpa Luo, don’t forget, he knows very little about this matter,” Luo Qianqian immediately denied when she thought of the powerful and influential people in her family.

Qin Nuan spoke up, ”I didn’t say it was Grandpa Luo. I just feel like things are getting a bit out of our control.”

Luo Qianqian rubbed her temples, ”This is the least of our worries. Has the Education Board been contacted yet? And have all the important assets been moved out?”

”They have been trusted, and only up to three organizations are handling the property transfer,” Qin Nuan sighed. ”Anyway, there are still a few days left. We should be able to make it in time. Just keep the important items with you.”

”It’s just a pity about those new houses, barely renovated before they need to be abandoned,” Luo Qianqian suddenly remembered the things said online: the final messages from parents and lovers, the indomitable pig, never marrying, the white-haired sending off the black-haired, and couldn’t help but feel a wave of sadness.

”Better than losing lives,” Qin Nuan tugged at the corner of her mouth, but she couldn’t manage a smile. Her heart was filled with anxiety; if they didn’t believe her now, she was really out of options.

”Let’s have the whole city do an evacuation drill half an hour before that time. Those who don’t believe the news should have time for an hour-long drill, right?” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, visibly impatient. They were putting in so much effort to help, yet some people were ungrateful. What were they waiting for? A disaster to happen and then to criticise them for not persuading more persistently?

”That’s also a solution. I already got Second Uncle to scout out the military situation over there,” Qin Nuan whispered, hiding her phone in her sleeve as Luo Yanran and two influential figures walked out. ”Your Fourth Brother is out; I’m continuing to play the role of a little assistant. I’ll call you back later.”

Luo Qianqian hadn’t had the chance to respond before the call was disconnected, raising her eyebrows in surprise. Qin Nuan playing a little assistant?

But the next moment, she didn’t have the mood to think about that, feeling helpless at the sight of the name Qin Liang on her phone screen, she answered the call.

”Who have you been talking to for so long?” Qin Liang’s icy voice came through the phone, causing Luo Qianqian to shiver.

”Your sister,” Luo Qianqian immediately said, but then retorted, ”Boss, I’m on vacation now. You can’t be controlling even my phone calls, can you?”

Hearing the slightly angry voice on the phone, Qin Liang frowned, ”What’s wrong?”

”What’s wrong? I always feel like you’re acting like my dad, checking up on me to prevent early dating.” However, Tianyi had long established his presence amongst the known circle.

”I’m leaving for Sichuan Province in five days,” Qin Liang, hearing Luo Qianqian’s description, got annoyed, and looked at his own face in the mirror after a long silence.

Just then, a young soldier passing by the door shuddered and quickly moved away; a Major staring at himself in the mirror was not a pretty sight, filled only with a chilling aura.

”You’re going by yourself?” Luo Qianqian, surprised, immediately pushed aside her previous concerns, ”It’s dangerous over there!”

”With all the panic you’re causing now, it’d be good for my peace of mind to go and look around,” he paused for two seconds, ”Isn’t Qin Nuan also going? It’s perfect, I’ll look after her.”

”What?” Luo Qianqian exclaimed. She had no idea about this news. Others might not know the dangers, but how could Qin Nuan not be aware?

Qin Liang touched his nose, ”It’s fine,” and then he hung up the phone.

Frustrated, Luo Qianqian sent a message to Qin Nuan but after waiting for a long time with no reply, she was brusquely forced by Hu Si to go for another medical check-up as her condition didn’t seem too good.

Luo Qianqian didn’t refuse. She had been overthinking lately, reminiscing about the past incident with Zhao Wenxuan that made her faint from anger. Luo Qianqian curled her lips upward, remembering her younger days.
