Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 618: Chapter 598: Child Commotion (Part 1)

Luo Qianqian certainly hadn’t forgotten to snap a few pictures, including a close-up of the little monkey’s wrinkled face—she sent them to her brother Luo Shufan as soon as she got home.

”Do you really think it’s okay to do this?” He Wenyu watched Luo Qianqian composing an email, her lips twitching with a convulsion.

The content was as follows: Brother Brother, this is our little monkey brother, doesn’t he look just like a monkey? Mom doesn’t like to hear that...

Who talks about their own brother this way? And with such disdain???

”What’s wrong with it? Look how pretty Linlin is, not all wrinkly like the little monkey.” Luo Qianqian pouted as she sent the email, then turned to look at Li Menglin, who had already fallen asleep.

The grandparents and the aunt’s family had been arranged to stay in their new house by Lin Xu, and since no one else was home, Li Menglin insisted on following Luo Qianqian and refused to leave. After Luo Qianqian agreed, An Zihua had no choice but to agree as well, murmuring, ”Really, when a girl grows up, she’s out of her mother’s control, fancying her sister and not wanting her mom anymore.”

Li Menglin, on the other hand, was holding Luo Qianqian’s hand: ”Mom is seen every day, Sister can’t be seen every day.”

”You hear that? Your daughter is rejecting you.” As a dad, Li Sheng had none of a father’s dignity; their household had always followed the pattern of tiger mom and cat dad.

”Laoer is better after all...” An Zihua could only let the small Luo Qianqian pull away the even smaller Li Menglin. Anyway, with Huang Yueran and He Jun, Luo Qianqian’s godparents, there, she had no worries at all. She was only afraid the child would fuss and keep Qianqian from sleeping well.

Old Master thought it was nothing to worry about: ”Qianqian is so sensible, Linlin will become sensible too by staying with Qianqian.”

Who says? Luo Qianqian pouted—she hung out with tall people every day and hadn’t grown taller herself.

Such a saying is superstitious, superstition!!!

”How old is Linlin now??? Eight years old, right, Sister? When you were eight, you were already in school, okay?” He Wenyu rolled her eyes: ”Comparing yourself to such a young child, you have some nerve.”

”Who wasn’t in school at eight?” Luo Qianqian pouted, clearly upset: ”But when I think about it, Brother is eighteen years older than An Hao, it’s really impressive...”

”...you mean to say that in the future, when Brother Shufan goes out with the little monkey, they’ll look like father and son?” He Wenyu curled her lip in disbelief: ”My dad just asked me the other day if I wanted a little brother or sister, and my mom beat him up for it.”

”I guess because of what you just said, my brother won’t take the little monkey out anymore... What little monkey, his name is An Hao...” After her mother told her off for calling her little brother a little monkey, Luo Qianqian made a concerted effort to change her references to the little monkey to An Hao.

”Mom brought back some pig’s trotters, let’s wake Linlin up for dinner later.” He Wenyu was also very fond of Luo Qianqian’s little sister; the last time she saw her was during An Zilan and Lin Xu’s wedding. But back then they were embroiled in their tiff, not paying any mind to a child.

”No rush, let her sleep. I heard from Auntie that in order to have a good time, she crammed all her homework in the car on the way here, she must be exhausted.” Luo Qianqian sighed, scrolled through her phone, and sent photos to the Luo family and those who had brought gifts for her mother. Of course, they were pictures of the complete baby, not that wrinkled little monkey face.

The first to reply, He Wenyu squinted: ”Is this person having an affair with you?”

Luo Qianqian looked at the message: So cute, congratulations, you’ve gained a precious little brother.

Sender: Qin Nuan.

”Indeed, there is a leg.” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes: ”She’s my sister-in-law, my cousin’s wife, and I have four of those.”

”You sure have a lot of brothers...” He Wenyu pursed her lips and continued to gaze at the phone.

Luo Qianqian helplessly handed her the phone: ”Take it, take it.”

Without any ceremony, He Wenyu flipped through it twice, then frowned slightly, pointing at ’Brother Chengzi’: ”Is this person having an affair with you?”

Luo Qianqian paused for a moment, then quickly regained a blank expression: ”Why?”

”Sixth sense.” He Wenyu smiled slyly: ”So, is he good-looking?”

Luo Qianqian sighed and nodded: ”Handsome.”

”Then you...”

”Sister...” At this moment, Li Menglin sat up, rubbed her eyes without opening them, and called out softly.

”Awake?” Luo Qianqian walked to the bedside with a beaming smile, ”Need to use the bathroom or feeling hungry?”

Li Menglin pouted, ”I’m afraid Sister will leave.” Then she plunged into Luo Qianqian’s arms and stayed there for quite a while before coming out, ”Sister, can you help me with my homework later?”

Luo Qianqian nodded, ”Sure, go wash up now; it’s almost time to eat.”

Seeing that Li Menglin was up, He Wenyu did not continue her questioning but simply took a mental note of the fruit ’Chengzi’.

The dinner included Luo Qianqian’s favorite pig’s trotters personally cooked by her godmother, and the three of them, enjoying the meal together, devoured a large pot of the dish.

Huang Yueran laughed until her eyes nearly disappeared, ”See, I told you having kids around means a lot gets eaten.”

Luo Qianqian wiped her hands clean, then lay back on her chair in a ’Ge You slouch’, a look of complete contentment on her face. Then, seeing He Wenyu still eating leisurely and glancing at her full figure, she said jealously, ”Godmother, is Xiao Yu eating too much?”

He Wenyu glanced at her bowl, with one pig’s trotter unfinished, too much?

Seeing the look in Luo Qianqian’s eyes, Huang Yueran laughed until tears came out, ”Exactly, Qianqian, you should eat more too.”

”Mom, I’ve only had one,” He Wenyu suddenly felt discontent. She clearly was the biological daughter, even though, it seemed, she could eat anytime she wanted...

”Qianqian is just jealous,” Huang Yueran said with a teasing smile, glancing at He Wenyu’s chest. He Wenyu subconsciously covered up, then had a sudden realization, looking at Luo Qianqian whose chest was just slightly curved, with a mix of envy and jealousy, ”That must be nice...”

”... You can’t envy this,” Luo Qianqian understood He Wenyu’s torment because she had always been someone who constantly researched how to reduce her chest size...

Li Menglin watched her two sisters with a look of confusion and focused on eating her food.

After dinner, Luo Qianqian helped Huang Yueran wash the dishes and then slowly went upstairs to see the two miserable kids doing their homework.

”No, how can you mark this here?... Ah...” He Wenyu was making a distressed face over Li Menglin’s homework when she saw Luo Qianqian, looking at her as if she had seen a savior, ”Come quick, how should I explain this?”

Luo Qianqian glanced at it and saw it was a question about phonetic notation.

She gave He Wenyu a slanting look, ”Regretting not attending first grade?”

He Wenyu was at a loss for words, was that the crux of the problem???

”Does Linlin know the initials and finals?” Luo Qianqian, without any hint of disdain, simply patted her shoulder and then sat down next to Li Menglin to start explaining phonetics.

Finally, after much effort, Li Menglin’s homework was all done, and she was nodding off from fatigue.

Luo Qianqian hurriedly sent her to wash up and then to bed.

As for them, how could they possibly go to bed at 8 o’clock?

Resigned, she picked up a pen to help He Wenyu with the copying.

He Wenyu looked at Luo Qianqian with her hands pressed together in gratitude.

But she was interrupted the next second by a phone call, ”... What?... Okay, I understand, I’ll be there immediately.” Luo Qianqian answered the phone with a stern face, ”Xiao Yu, ask Godmother to look after Linlin, I have to go out for a bit!”

”I’m coming too!”
