Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 634: Chapter 614: It’s Unfortunate to Have Elders Like You

Watching Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu skillfully recording the statement, Zhang Ye didn’t forget to make a jab, ”From your childhood to now, you have really delivered quite a few people here. Have you ever considered becoming a police officer?”

Luo Qianqian decisively shook her head, ”That’s not suitable for me. I’m more suited to elegant activities like painting or playing the piano.”

He Wenyu scoffed at this. Luo Qianqian’s gibberish scribbles could be called painting? But Luo Qianqian herself referred to it as ’abstract art’, hmm, ink wash abstract art at that, where you can’t make out anything that’s being painted.

”Oh?” Jimo Cheng sat to one side, but his voice clearly reached Luo Qianqian’s ears—it obviously wasn’t Lin Jiayou’s voice... Lin Jiayou’s voice wasn’t this pleasant.

Instantly feeling uneasy, she had forgotten that Jimo Cheng was an expert. Hearing his voice, she worried that he might make her learn painting later. She shivered slightly but continued to record the statement.

After the recording was finished, looking at the dejected fat woman sitting to the side, Luo Qianqian snorted resentfully. It was bad enough that the woman had hurt her, but she had also tried to harm her mom and An Hao. What kind of people were they? Truly, birds of a feather flock together; those not of a family do not enter the same door.

”You all wait and see!!!” The woman yelled furiously at Luo Qianqian and Lin Jiayou, ”Disrespectful to elders, people like you deserve to be struck by lightning!”

”Being related to you is already a greater punishment than that.” Lin Jiayou looked coldly at the woman who was his little aunt, ”Do you people have no shame at all? Chased away my mom and now even want to harm my aunt and my younger siblings? People like you not getting struck by lightning is evidence enough that Heavenly Dao doesn’t exist!”

Luo Qianqian nodded repeatedly. Exactly, exactly. What else was there to say about people who would even harm their own blood?

”Qianqian, Pei Yuhao sent a message.” He Wenyu looked at the message on her phone, hesitated as she glanced at Jimo Cheng and Lin Jiayou, then spoke softly. But in such a small place, how quiet could her voice be? Jimo Cheng and the others still heard it clearly.

”A gathering?” Luo Qianqian arched an eyebrow and looked at the phone, pouting, ”Why didn’t you tell me?”

”He’s just asking when you’ll be free, you see...” He Wenyu handed the phone to Luo Qianqian, who saw just two lines: We’re all set here, when is Qianqian free?

”You figure it out, you know my situation.” Luo Qianqian handed the phone back to He Wenyu, her gaze drifting towards Jimo Cheng.

”Let’s make it the day after tomorrow then.” He Wenyu sighed. After all, Luo Qianqian’s time back was limited. She couldn’t just ignore their group of old friends just because of Jimo Cheng’s presence.

Internally lamenting Luo Qianqian’s current circumstances, He Wenyu lightly sent a reply and then turned to Luo Qianqian, ”Is your senior brother coming?”

At that, Luo Qianqian turned her gaze to Jimo Cheng, as she really couldn’t answer for him. However, in her heart, she did not wish for him to appear. It was just after Xia Tian and Xu Tianyi had eaten with everyone that if she suddenly brought Jimo Cheng along, it was inevitable that people would gossip. If she inadvertently let something slip, it could potentially end up reaching An Zilan’s ears. She wanted to reveal things slowly to her family and did not want such a big shock all at once.

Jimo Cheng paused, as if he had guessed Luo Qianqian’s worries, and chuckled lightly, ”You kids just go and have fun. I’ll come to pick you up when you want to return.” He clearly refused this kind of event, since he wasn’t fond of bustling scenes anyway.

”Kids...” Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched, ”Senior brother, are you that old? Most of my friends are about your age, you know?”

”Mental age.” Jimo Cheng said jokingly, his face full of smiles. It was clear he shouldn’t press Luo Qianqian too hard or it might backfire, and he had both the time and the patience.

”A bunch of kids.” Lin Jiayou also expressed disdain, ”Why don’t you ask me?”

”What would you go for? We’ve got a generation gap.” Luo Qianqian refused without hesitation, ”A kids’ gathering doesn’t need adults. After all, none of us are grown-ups, and we won’t be drinking, so don’t go to the trouble.”

The undisguised disdain in the voice did hurt Lin Jiayou quite a bit: What to do when despised by one’s own sister? Waiting online, quite anxious...

After recording the statement and having ample evidence, this relative of Luo Qianqian who could hardly be called close was detained. She had no actual connection to him, and she wouldn’t care about the consequences when it comes to anyone daring to hurt her or those she cared about—she would confront them head-on.

”What shall we eat later?” Lin Jiayou asked lazily, looking as if there was nothing left to do, because, after all, food is the first necessity of the people.

Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu looked directly at Jimo Cheng, who had just promised to go eat pufferfish.

”I’ve already made the reservation,” Jimo Cheng said with a chuckle, covering his mouth. Luo Qianqian looked into his shining eyes, which resembled a little cat yearning for fish, strikingly similar to his little dumpling who loved to eat meat: ”Let’s all go together,” he said, gazing at Lin Jiayou with sincerity.

Lin Jiayou nodded. He naturally wouldn’t refuse.

He Wenyu hesitated, glancing at Luo Qianqian. Was it appropriate to call Zhao Wenxuan under these circumstances? But then again, it was a rare opportunity...

Luo Qianqian caught her friend’s gaze, pursed her lips, and laughed: ”What, afraid your ugly boyfriend is scared of people? We’ve all met him before.” Then she looked at Jimo Cheng: ”Senior brother, where is it? Can Xiao Yu’s boyfriend go directly there?”

”Of course,” Jimo Cheng replied generously to Luo Qianqian’s inquiry, giving an address.

Luo Qianqian didn’t seem to be too bothered, but both Lin Jiayou and He Wenyu were wide-eyed with shock.

What? One of the best five-star hotels in the city? How much would that meal cost?

As the older brother, Lin Jiayou had been thinking about treating them to a meal, but upon hearing the name of the place, he deflated completely. Forget about anything fancy, even a simple shrimp fried rice per person would leave them washing dishes, right?

Holding the phone, his fingers trembled as he typed the message, making sure over and over again that he hadn’t made a mistake before finally sending it.

The message hadn’t been out for half a minute before his phone rang. He smiled apologetically at the three of them and stepped aside to answer the call, confirming several times with the person on the other end that there was no mistake before hanging up.

Luo Qianqian watched her come back, covering her mouth to stifle a giggle, and whispered, ”He didn’t ask what clothes to wear, did he?”

He Wenyu, hearing Luo Qianqian’s teasing, felt quite helpless. Was there really a need to despise her boyfriend like that? As for clothes, it’s not like he would go in naked, right?

”Let’s go,” Jimo Cheng said warmly, looking at the two girls chatting and laughing happily.

When getting into the car, he naturally left the front passenger seat for Lin Jiayou. He could not accept his little fiancée having any contact with other men, even if this person was her brother - and besides, there’s no blood relation between these two.

With a helpless expression, Lin Jiayou still compromised under Jimo Cheng’s serious demeanor, sighing as he took his seat in the front passenger side.

He Wenyu and Luo Qianqian didn’t really understand what was going on between the two men but could only offer each other a resigned smile.
