Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 616: Chapter 596: Bumping into the Pei Brothers

Upon receiving He Wenyu’s hurried phone call, Huang Yueran and He Jun rushed over to find An Zilan already on the hospital bed, with the little monkey lying aside that her sisters despised.

”Wow, so cute, definitely a cute little prince,” Huang Yueran said with a face full of delight, and seeing that the Grandma wasn’t in the ward, she felt much more relaxed, her tone also becoming a bit more lively.

”It’s clearly a little monkey.” Luo Qianqian pouted, unwilling to admit that such a monkey could share the same mother as she.

”You were even darker than him when you were little,” An Zilan chuckled behind her hand, then turned to Lin Xu with an inquiring look.

Lin Xu shook his head and immediately sat down beside the bed, holding her hand: ”You’ve worked hard, wife.”

Just as they had returned shortly, the woman in the neighboring bed entered the labor room, and He Wenyu couldn’t help asking, ”Is childbirth contagious now?”

”Do you think it’s a cold?” Huang Yueran replied with an annoyed look, then continued gazing at the child: ”Seven pounds and six ounces, truly a big fat boy.”

”Ah right, I forgot to call Grandma’s house,” Luo Qianqian quickly took out her mobile phone and left the ward, afraid of affecting the child.

”Hello? Who is it?” A familiar voice came through the handset, just a bit loud, buzzing in Luo Qianqian’s ear.

”Grandma, it’s Qianqian.”

”Qianqian? Old man, it’s Qianqian!” An even louder voice came through, causing Luo Qianqian to almost throw her phone away in exasperation, yet she could only helplessly accept that the elderly naturally speak louder as their hearing diminishes.

”Qianqian? What’s up? Suddenly calling your grandparents, you ran out of pocket money?” Grandma’s voice continued, but one could vaguely discern the sound of tussling over the phone.

Luo Qianqian covered her mouth with a laugh, her eyes filled with emotion: ”Not at all, Mom had a big fat boy, I’m calling to share the happy news.”

”Lan’er gave birth??” The booming voice came again, making Luo Qianqian nearly toss her phone, frustrated but resigned to the reality that with age, hearing fades, and voices unconsciously get louder.

”We’ll pack up and head over right away, is Qianqian at the hospital too?” It sounded as if Grandpa had finally wrested control of the phone, his voice still trembling.

”Mhm, I’m here too. Don’t forget to tell Auntie to bring my little sisters over,” Luo Qianqian reminded, not forgetting what Lin Xu had mentioned earlier.

”Right, Linlin keeps nagging to see you, okay, we’ll set off now.” After hanging up, the voice seemed unusually excited.

Luo Qianqian curved her lips, helpless.

”Qianqian?” A voice rose from behind her, and she turned with a puzzled look, only to gape at two figures towering like giants: ”Have you been eating pig feed? How did you grow so fast?”

Pei Yuhao and Pei Yutian were about to express their nostalgia when Luo Qianqian choked them into silence.

”Can’t you say something nice, huh?” Pei Yuhao rested his arm on top of Luo Qianqian’s head: ”You’re even too short to be a rest for my arm.”

Pei Yutian, lips pursed, gazed warmly at Luo Qianqian: ”Our top student returns and doesn’t make a peep. Looking down on us high schoolers now, are you?”

”What are you talking about?” Luo Qianqian stood up, making Pei Yuhao withdraw his hand, then punched Pei Yutian’s arm: ”And I even brought gifts for you, now do you still have the face to ask for them?”

”Why not?” Pei Yutian laughed: ”Why are you at the hospital, are you sick?”

”...I’m sick and come to a maternity hospital for treatment???” Luo Qianqian glanced skeptically, questioning his intelligence.

”He’s been having too much popping candy lately, makes him a bit silly,” Pei Yuhao looked at his brother disapprovingly: ”As for you, you’re the one with time on your hands, would you like to come over and help with homework?”

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes. ”Is our game going to be buried under homework?”

”What a joke,” she thought. She had barely escaped from the clutches of homework and had no intention of going back. With this in mind, Luo Qianqian lifted her lips into a mischievous smile, ”I don’t have homework over the vacation.”

Pei Yutian and Pei Yuhao were both at a loss for words, the thought of their pile of papers making them dread facing it.

”When are you leaving?” Pei Yuhao took out his phone, his face serious.

Luo Qianqian spread her hands innocently, ”You want me to leave just after I’ve come back this morning? Can’t we just play happily anymore?... Our vacation is longer than yours, so I guess I should leave after your school starts.”

”Luo Qianqian, you know what? I really feel like beating you up right now...” Pei Yuhao squeezed these words through his teeth.

Then a voice resounded through the hospital, ”Who dares touch my Qianqian!!!” Following the voice was the sight of He Wenyu leaping out quickly. Seeing the two, she threw up her hands, ”Tsk, tsk, how did you guys get here?”

”What’s with that disdainful tone?” Pei Yuhao retorted without hesitation, his face also full of dissatisfaction, as he faced off with He Wenyu.

”Don’t you know how disliked you are?” He Wenyu harrumphed coldly, ”Qianqian, let me tell you...”

”Sister Yu, I’m wrong, let’s go, let’s go. What would you like to eat? It’s on me,” Pei Yuhao quickly said, bowing and grovelling.

”Hmph, small fry, how should you address me?” He Wenyu instantly took advantage of the situation.

Luo Qianqian would definitely not tell Pei Yuhao that afterwards, whenever He Wenyu remembered, she would surely tell her, no matter how many tasty treats you have, it won’t work.

”Empress Dowager...” Pei Yuhao curled his fingers like an orchid, using a falsetto voice and even crossing his legs and squatting slightly as he called out.

”Hahaha.” Both Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu couldn’t help but laugh, while Pei Yutian’s face was full of cringing reluctance and strong disdain.

”Speaking of which, what are you guys doing here?” He Wenyu looked at the two brothers with a puzzled face. Two guys in the maternity hospital?

Then with a mysterious look on her face, ”Ah, it couldn’t be...”

”Don’t talk nonsense, that’s not true...”

”Stop spreading rumors, that’s nonexistent...”

The two brothers said in unison, then glanced at each other, faces full of mutual resentment.

”Let’s go, let’s go back.” He Wenyu pulled Luo Qianqian’s hand and rushed back into the hospital, ”Stay away from those two walking hormones, always in heat.”

”Stop spreading rumors!!!”

”Call me later!!!”

Luo Qianqian waved her hand and followed He Wenyu. ”What’s up with moving hormones? They got handsomer, huh?” There was no time to chat privately at the last gathering; they just talked for a bit and then left.

”Confessions have become the norm, but to be confessed to by a pregnant girl with a boyfriend...” After He Wenyu said those words, Luo Qianqian understood and her face was full of disbelief.

”Is this what people like now?” He seemed a bit smart but with mediocre grades, good at sports, and decently handsome, ”I actually think Gu Yanzhi should be more popular.”

”Yes, you’re right, he’s indeed more popular,” He Wenyu sighed, ”Not only in our school, other schools, but also younger middle school girls... But he’s very self-disciplined and always rejects.”
