Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 513: Chapter 493: Who is behind the scenes? (Six)

It wasn’t rush hour, so the car quickly arrived at the Luo Family’s home. Lin Jiayou seemed a bit nervous at this time, straightening his clothes against the car window.

”Goodness, Grandpa, what are you sneaking around for!” Luo Qianqian, seeing her grandfather who was walking Baozi around in the residential complex, was secretly nibbling on Baozi’s ham sausage, rolled down the car window and poked her head out. Qin Wen also appropriately stopped the car.

Seeing Luo Qianqian, Baozi didn’t care about asking Old Master Luo for the ham sausage anymore and pounced directly at the car door. Although only a few months old, it had already grown quite a bit taller.

Luo Qianqian opened the car door, and Qin Nuan also got out, ”Brother, why don’t you go park the car first, we will take a walk with Grandpa Luo and Baozi.”

Qin Wen nodded, and Lin Jiayou also made eye contact with Old Master Luo from inside the car, nodding his head in greeting. Before he could speak, the car drove off.

Once Luo Qianqian got out of the car, Baozi pounced on her, its tail wagging happily.

”This naughty kid!” Old Master Luo said with a face full of dissatisfaction: ”I’ve been walking it around for so many days, but I’ve never seen it this enthusiastic.” Then he smiled at the two and said, ”How come you’re back so early?”

”Aw, isn’t it because I have no classes? I just thought of coming back to keep Grandpa and Grandma company, and, oh yes Grandpa, I bought some potatoes. Could you ask Grandma to make me some potato balls tomorrow? It’s been so long since I have had them. I bought the potatoes, so you have to back me up if Grandma makes up excuses.”

As potato balls are fried, Yue Tingyu considered them unhealthy and insisted on eating them less often, hence always finding excuses not to make them.

”Let’s hurry back home,” Old Master Luo didn’t answer but his expression clearly read reluctance.

”Grandpa, Grandpa,” Luo Qianqian kept shaking Old Master Luo’s arm nonstop.

Baozi sat on the ground and watched Luo Qianqian intently, and finally Luo Qianqian, being watched by both her grandpa and the dog, embarrassingly withdrew her arm, ”I’m just craving them.”

”Talk properly!” Old Master Luo scolded with a stern face.

Luo Qianqian immediately stood up straight and saluted, ”Reporting, sir, your granddaughter would like to eat potato balls. Report complete, please instruct!”

Old Master Luo looked at his granddaughter helplessly, ”Hurry up and go, or it won’t just be potato balls, you won’t want to eat anything!”

”Ah, right, pig’s trotters!” Luo Qianqian immediately retracted her joking demeanor, her face full of mysteriousness, ”Grandpa, the pig’s trotters my godmother makes are incredibly delicious. Once you eat them, you can’t forget them.”

Old Master Luo was speechless. Why did his granddaughter act so silly whenever food was involved?

Upon reaching the entrance, Lin Jiayou and Qin Wen were just about to take stuff from the car. Under the eye signal from Old Master Luo, Luo Qianqian obediently went to help.

Yue Tingyu, hearing the sound of the car, also hurried out. Seeing Luo Qianqian’s obedient behavior, she couldn’t help but smile, ”Why did you come back so early today? I haven’t cooked yet, what do you want to eat?”

Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue and, holding the bag, cheerfully said to Yue Tingyu, ”I’ve bought some potatoes.”

Yue Tingyu laughed, taking the bag from Luo Qianqian’s hands, and tapped her forehead, ”This won’t become a habit.”

Luo Qianqian nodded happily, ”Grandma, I’ll go help Brother Jiayou with his stuff first. You should go inside quickly, or Baozi will come and snatch the potatoes.”

Baozi stopped in its tracks, its face full of doubt, questioning its purpose in life, wondering why its owner would think it would go after the potatoes.

Its dog life seemed gray and dull.

”Grandpa, you should go inside quickly. Baozi, go back and drink some water.” Baozi has a doghouse outside but lately, it’s been hot, so it usually sleeps inside, after all, there was air conditioning.

Old Master Luo nodded and went inside, with Baozi wagging its tail and following.

By the time they brought everything into the house, Yue Tingyu indeed said, ”Since you’re here, why did you buy so much stuff? Just the two of us old folks at home can’t even finish all this.”

Luo Qianqian replied with an air of it being only natural, ”So they’re all the things I love to eat, that way I can help eat them too.”

Qin Wen had no choice but to be resigned to it; Luo Qianqian’s status in the Luo Family was comparable to that of the Supreme Emperor, her word was almost law, and on major matters, she still had a say. So, this answer actually received unanimous agreement from the Luo Family elders.

”Grandpa, Grandma, this is Brother Jiayou.” Luo Qianqian waited until Lin Jiayou entered the room before she introduced him.

Lin Jiayou quickly said, ”Grandpa Luo, hello, I am Lin Jiayou.”

Little did he know, Old Master Luo just coldly nodded his head, not even as warm as when he first met Xu Tianyi.

Luo Qianqian had a perplexed look on her face, wondering what was going on.

Qin Nuan also didn’t understand and tugged at Qin Wen’s arm as she saw the indifference in Old Master Luo’s eyes.

Qin Wen just shook his head; obviously, Old Master Luo had his reasons for his actions, and there was no reason for a junior to question them.

”I heard that before, you and a few kids did something to Qianqian and Shufan...” Before he could finish speaking, Luo Qianqian started coughing violently, her face filled with disbelief.

”Grandpa, how did you know about that?”

Old Master Luo gave his granddaughter a glance but didn’t answer.

Lin Jiayou’s face was filled with shame as he touched his nose, ”I was young and ignorant back then. Now, Qianqian is my sister, and Shufan is my brother. My accomplishments today are all thanks to their blessings.” He was sincerely speaking the truth; if it weren’t for Luo Shufan tutoring him without holding any grudges, he wouldn’t have been admitted to this school.

Old Master Luo just raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue, his gaze softening slightly.

”So, if anyone wants to hurt my brother and sisters, they’ll have to get past me first.” Lin Jiayou said with determination.

Before Luo Qianqian could chime in, Yue Tingyu spoke up, ”How is Qianqian’s Mommy doing?” Although she had never met her, this was, after all, the woman her son had chosen at one time and the mother of her beloved granddaughter, so she cared.

”Auntie’s pregnancy is pretty far along, but she’s keeping up with nutrition and exercise, so everything should go smoothly.” Lin Jiayou nodded, pulled out his phone, and brought up a photo of An Zilan. Although the photo focused mainly on her belly, her face was also visible, and she looked quite healthy.

Yue Tingyu took the phone, put on her reading glasses, looked at Luo Qianqian, then at the photo, and said with a smile, ”Qianqian is not as fair as your mother.”

Luo Qianqian frowned in disagreement, ”That just shows that I have been out in the sun. I exercise a lot; I’m healthy.”

”Exactly.” Old Master Luo leaned over to glance at the photo, then sat back on the couch, looking approvingly.

”This is a gift Auntie asked me to bring.” Lin Jiayou smiled and took out a box from his backpack. ”Auntie said that she hasn’t visited the two elders in many years and appreciates how they’ve taken care of Qianqian and Shufan, this is a little token of appreciation.” The box wasn’t small; just a bit smaller than a shoebox, and one could tell it contained products from ’Luo Shenyao’.

Yue Tingyu took the box, her face filled with curiosity. Upon opening the box, she burst into laughter that turned into tears, ”This child, she’s so thoughtful.”

The box contained childhood photos of Luo Shufan and Luo Qianqian, even some with Luo Shufan holding Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian leaned over to take a look, her face filled with confusion, ”Why did Mom send photos?”

At the bottom of the pile of photos was a small pendant, and upon seeing the pendant, Yue Tingyu’s tears flowed like rain.
