Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 476: Chapter 456: Doubt

”There probably wasn’t much, right?” the woman frowned, the only thing inside was not for sale to other customers, it was specially made by the chef. If you talk about the price, it should be the three items on the menu that had an actual price, but you can’t just say that, if it’s the cost... ”It’s roughly two to three thousand.”

”That cheap?” Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened in surprise, knowing that Ye Qianying had stuffed more cash than this into Luo Yanwu’s wallet today.

Qin Nuan’s eyes also widened, knowing that her second brother’s business meal in such a grand setting usually started at a five-figure sum.

”Yes, Shangqi Club also provides a variety of entertainment services, classes for ladies, and so on. If needed, Shangqi Club can also arrange for personalized entertainment facilities for VIP guests,” the woman said with a smile and a bow. ”My name is Wui Hongyan, I am your receptionist, feel free to come and find me next time.”

Wouldn’t the people outside be shocked if they heard this? The grand manager of Shangqi Club turning into a small receptionist?

”I’m Luo Qianqian.” Luo Qianqian said to Wui Hongyan with a smile.

Wui Hongyan nodded: ”Miss Luo, would you like to visit the entertainment section next, or...”

”No need, we’re going home.” Luo Yanwu quickly interrupted Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian paused for a moment, then nodded: ”Next time we’ll come and play with Sister Wui. We are going home now.”

Wui Hongyan smiled and escorted the four to the exit, even arranging a car to take them away, only relaxing as she watched them disappear.

The receptionist at the door immediately came forward: ”Manager, was that little girl really the legendary Number One VIP?”

”What legend... isn’t she right here? Cut the gossip, or be careful with your salary,” Wui Hongyan said, looking in the direction the car had left. ”I just didn’t expect that the food the boss sends from thousands of miles every day would actually be used.”

”Luo Qianqian.” After getting out of the car and sitting in Luo Yanwu’s car, Luo Yanwu finally spoke: ”I felt that waitress was a bit too enthusiastic, and isn’t it strange that out of so many waiters, only one was in formal attire?”

”Big brother, we didn’t even have to pay, what could they get from us? This is Shangqi Club, a gathering place for the upper echelons of society. How come in your mouth it’s as if we’re going to be tricked into a shanty shop that’ll harvest our organs?” Luo Qianqian was quite relaxed: ”But I’m not planning to go there often anyway. After all, it doesn’t suit my regular habits.”

Luo Yanwu was relieved to hear Luo Qianqian say this and looked apologetically at Cong Rong: ”Do you want to go somewhere else? I was worried that woman had bad intentions, so I took you all out...”

Cong Rong curved her lips into a small smile: ”Qianqian is lucky to have a brother like you.”

Luo Yanwu was a bit embarrassed: ”Qianqian is the only girl in our family, so she is a bit spoiled. Even if she falls, the family is worried for a long time.”

While Luo Qianqian was touched, she still thought to herself that Luo Yanwu was brainless. Wouldn’t it be more perfect if he had added ’I’ll take even better care of you’ at this moment?

”Hello?” As Luo Qianqian was inwardly criticizing Luo Yanwu, her phone rang. Then all could see her frown getting deeper, and after a moment she left saying, ”I’ll come to you right away.”

Qin Nuan saw the lit-up screen showing her second brother’s name, feeling puzzled: ”What’s wrong?”

”Big brother, you take Sister Congrong out for a good stroll, I’ll take Sister Nuannuan with me for a bit. I’ll call you later.” She finished speaking, opened the car door, got out, and did not give Luo Yanwu a chance to respond.

Qin Nuan hurriedly followed, not forgetting to instruct Cong Rong: ”Something came up with my brother that requires Qianqian. You guys have fun, I’ll be back later to go to school with you.”

Cong Rong nodded, but before she could say anything, the car door had already closed.

Luo Yanwu rolled down the window, only to see Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan getting into a taxi and leaving.

After a moment of thought, Cong Rong suggested, ”Shall we follow and see? Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.”

Luo Yanwu was taken aback and then nodded, starting the car.

The place they were heading to was very coincidently near the school, it was Qin Wen’s house.

”Qianqian.” As soon as he got off the car, Qin Wen saw Luo Qianqian, and by extension, he caught sight of Qin Nuan behind her, frowning slightly, ”Wasn’t Nuannuan accompanying a classmate on a blind date today?”

”...” Qin Nuan was speechless. Hadn’t she mentioned that her classmate’s blind date was Luo Yanran’s elder brother?

”What happened to Lu Simiao?” Luo Qianqian frowned, looking somewhat puzzled by Qin Wen’s weary appearance.

”His fever has gone down now, that’s why I called you.” Qin Wen sighed, ”I just talked to his teacher. He got into a fight at school, then his dorm room stuff got thrown downstairs, and these past two days he’s been coming home to sleep.”

”Why did he get into a fight? He’s not a kid who likes to fight.” Luo Qianqian’s frown deepened. Although she started taking care of Lu Simiao on a whim, she had grown fond of him because he was sensible. Her own younger sisters were far away, so in her eyes, Lu Simiao was like a little brother. She thought she understood him, but now to hear that he was fighting? That was something she would never believe.

”The teacher didn’t say, and it seems neither of the two involved is talking. I just saw that the bruising around his eyes will probably take a few days to fade.” Qin Wen glanced at Qin Nuan and noticed that her face was filled with shock.

”What’s with that expression?”

”Bro, have you and Qianqian been secretly raising a kid?” Qin Nuan shouted out loud.

”What do you mean secretly, we didn’t hide it from you at all.” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, ”I’m going upstairs to check on him, you two go buy some snacks that kids like.”

Luo Qianqian pulled out a big bunch of keys, found the one Qin Wen gave her, and headed upstairs.

”Second brother, what’s all this about?” Qin Nuan, still looking dumbfounded, was also a bit worried when she saw the anxious look on Luo Qianqian’s face.

”Little kids shouldn’t worry about so much.” Qin Wen glanced at her, then turned around and headed towards the supermarket.

Qin Nuan quickly followed.

Upon opening the door, Lu Simiao’s room door was ajar, and his face was indeed swollen and bruised. Luo Qianqian frowned slightly, washed a towel, placed it on his forehead, and gently touched his somewhat lean little face.

Lu Simiao seemed to sense someone was there, opened his eyes groggily, and upon seeing Luo Qianqian, his eyes widened in disbelief. Then he closed and reopened them, joyfully calling out, ”Sister.”

Luo Qianqian scolded with a stern face, ”Lie down properly, you’re still sick.”

Lu Simiao, remembering the reason for his illness, timidly lay back down and dared not look at Luo Qianqian’s face.

”Are you stupid?” Luo Qianqian suddenly said.

Lu Simiao turned his head towards Luo Qianqian, bewildered, as the towel slid off his forehead.

Luo Qianqian picked up the towel, folded it, and put it back on his head.

”Fighting with people? Don’t you know to run? What if you ruin your face getting hit there?” Luo Qianqian’s tone contained no blame, instead, it held a hint of indignation, ”You don’t even know how to fight, aren’t you aware it hurts, huh?” She poked hard at the bruise near Lu Simiao’s eye.

Lu Simiao winced with pain, and Luo Qianqian felt somewhat relieved, ”Next time, if you can’t win, just run. Go for the groin, step on feet, pick the nose, and if all else fails, you can still bite them!”

Lu Simiao blinked his unbelieving eyes, ”Sister, you’re not mad at me?”

”Am I not scolding you right now?” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, ”From now on, spend your weekends learning some self-defense properly.”

”Shouldn’t you be beating me up? Because I got into a fight, right?” Lu Simiao looked earnestly at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes at him, ”Haven’t you already been beaten up? Learn a lesson from this!”
