Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 580: Chapter 560: The Luo Family’s Stance (Part One)

”My son is wonderful,” Ye Qianying said with a face full of emotion, especially the tears that she hadn’t wiped away which further evidenced her deeply moved state.

”Shouldn’t Fourth Brother be the best? He even prepared an extra gift,” Luo Qianqian thought to herself, but still nodded her head. It couldn’t be better that her own brother had won over the girl of his dreams, so she kept on smiling brightly at everything.

”Of course, to prevent Qianqian from getting jealous, I also prepared something for Qianqian,” Luo Yanran said with a chuckle, taking a bouquet from the car that was parked aside, ”Qianqian, this is your Qixi Festival gift.”

Luo Qianqian accepted the bouquet with a surprised expression; the next second, she was brimming with delight. While others got flowers, her bouquet contained strawberries, each one luscious and tempting. In the center was a pink rose, ensconced by the vibrant red strawberries like stars surrounding the moon.

Meanwhile, Luo Yanwu pulled Cong Rong aside and produced a delicate little box from his pocket, handing it to Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian was inwardly exasperated—needing others to help prepare a gift to woo a girlfriend and even preparing a separate one for her could backfire if Cong Rong was the type to be petty. He’d quickly lose a girlfriend that way!

Luo Yanwu, catching the scornful look from Luo Qianqian, felt helpless. Was he the kind of person who needed his sister to remind him? It was just that he was caught off guard, not expecting Luo Yanran to create this opportunity. As for Qianqian’s gift, he did carry it with him.

”Thanks, Xiao Si,” said Luo Yanwu, handing over the gift to Luo Qianqian and bumping shoulders with Luo Yanran as the two shared a smile.

”No need for politeness,” replied Luo Yanran with a smile all over his face.

Both Qin Nuan and Cong Rong stood beside Luo Qianqian, holding hands with an air of embarrassment, softly looking at her. In a sense, Luo Qianqian was destined to become their sister as well.

Not putting down her bouquet of strawberries, Luo Qianqian gave a pleading look to those around her. However, Qin Nuan and Cong Rong just offered smiles. It was Qin Wen, hugging a big bear, unable to stand by any longer, who opened the box that Qianqian was looking at.

Inside was a delicate little crown.

Luo Yanwu chuckled lightly, ”This is a blessing from the four of us brothers—no, rather, five brothers. We hope Xiao Qianqian can live a happy and carefree life, grow up without worries. No matter what happens, you have your brothers to stand by you.” Big brother and second brother are returning on Friday night, so they were instructed to make sure Qianqian never feels alone and that they shouldn’t neglect their sister for their girlfriends.

Luo Yanran also felt quite guilty. Not to mention that his sister’s injury was related to him, he had also previously neglected Luo Qianqian while dating Qin Nuan.

Luo Qianqian looked at Qin Wen with sparkling eyes and blinked.

Qin Wen smiled knowingly, raised the little crown with both hands, and placed it on Luo Qianqian’s head, ”Crowning Qianqian, our Little Princess.” After crowning her, he took a step back, bowing slightly with a face full of satisfaction.

Luo Qianqian’s face turned thoroughly red, yet she still laughed happily. After all, she was in no position to say anything, so she just thick-skinnedly accepted it.

”Second brother, you sure know how to put on a show,” teased Qin Nuan without pulling any punches.

”You’re right,” replied Qin Wen, unfazed and still wearing a smile.

Cong Rong smiled gently, watching Luo Qianqian clutching the strawberry bouquet and beaming with joy. She also took out a box, ”It’s been prepared for a while, even though it’s not yet tomorrow, but Qianqian, thank you. Because meeting you has made my youth worthwhile.”

Luo Qianqian blinked—so, was this an indirect confession to Luo Yanwu?

The next second, Cong Rong opened the box, revealing a beautiful silver brooch shaped like wings, ”I hope you can ride on the wings of dreams and fly to a broader world.”

Luo Qianqian nodded her thanks, her eyes shining with the emotions of joy and gratitude she felt at that moment.

”Hey, there’s no need to show off like that.” Qin Nuan looked dissatisfied as she gestured a wrap with her hands, her face a bit embarrassed, she hadn’t brought...

Luo Qianqian shook her head with a smile at her, indicating it was fine.

Qin Nuan was visibly annoyed because she hadn’t brought that kind of thing since they had decided to go there after discussing with Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian blinked and walked up to everyone, bowing slightly with a beaming smile, fearing the little crown atop her head might fall off.

”Enough, let’s hurry back for the porridge.” Yue Tingyu looked satisfied and beckoned directly to Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian followed Yue Tingyu and Old Master Luo cheerfully, holding the strawberries.

”Tastes not bad.” Luo Yanran approached Luo Qianqian, took a strawberry from the bouquet, popped it into his mouth, and squinted his eyes with pleasure.

Luo Qianqian was about to glare at him when she saw Luo Yanran retreat to Qin Nuan’s side and make a face at her, which left her not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Luo Yanran really was such a child.

”Hold it yourself.” Seeing Luo Yanran act coy in front of his sister and bully Luo Qianqian, Qin Wen instantly felt bad. To lure his sister and then bully his own, such a brother can stay away. He shoved the large bear into his arms, separating him from Qin Nuan.

Qin Nuan just smiled and didn’t react otherwise.

However, the next second, Luo Yanran passed the large bear to Sun Zhichao: ”Brother Sun’s idea, Brother Sun should hold it.”

Sun Zhichao: ???

Luo Qianqian went obediently to have porridge under the escort of Yue Tingyu and the two aunts, and Yue Tingyu did not forget to invite Qin Nuan and Cong Rong to join the meal, since they had not eaten dinner and were somewhat hungry as well.

As for Qin Wen and Luo Yanran, who also hadn’t had dinner, they were kept back by Old Master Luo.

”Speak, what happened.” Old Master Luo’s voice was calm, but carried an unmistakable authority.

Luo Xihan quietly sipped tea on the side, silent, her eyes fixed straight on Luo Yanran.

He had received news but hadn’t reacted much, since there were so many people together, he thought nothing would happen... Now, he felt indescribable self-reproach.

”What are you talking about?” Luo Yanran feigned ignorance decisively: ”Grandpa, I’m also hungry, I’ll go have something...”

”Luo Yanran!” Old Master Luo glared, calling out his full name, though still controlling the volume so as not to be heard in the kitchen.

Luo Yanran shivered and immediately put on a bitter face, knowing he was in trouble and looked at Qin Wen for help.

But to his surprise, he found Qin Wen and Luo Yanwu both looking at the floor, completely ignoring his gaze. Sun Zhichao simply gestured with his hands, wearing an innocent expression. He really didn’t know anything, and even if he wanted to help Luo Yanran, he was powerless to do so.

His own father was looking at him at the moment, with a piercing gaze that seemed to see through everything, making it hard for him to even say it was the spicy food.

Just as he resigned himself to say something, the sound of the house phone rang. Old Master Luo didn’t want to answer it, but since he was closest and could easily reach it, he had no choice but to pick up the phone: ”Hello, this is the Luo Family...”
