Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 693: Chapter 673: Dispute

”Buy.” Jimo Cheng didn’t care how much money Luo Qianqian’s favorite things cost.

As the stall owner was about to pack the items for them, a hand reached out, stopping the incense burner: ”This thing looks pretty nice, how much is it, boss?”

Luo Qianqian frowned and looked at the person, but was taken aback. She never expected that even abroad, the trend of flamboyant hair would spread. She saw the person had a head of golden hair, so bright it could make Caucasians feel inferior, but the hairstyle was like a broom; the hair length was almost the same as Luo Qianqian’s, but it stuck up in every direction. She wondered just how much hair gel had been used. Yet, this person’s skin was even darker than that of Asians.

However, the tattoos on his arms were intimidating enough.

Let’s not even talk about whether his outfit matched; Luo Qianqian, who still considered herself in the prime of her youth, wouldn’t dare wear such dazzling fluorescent pink paired with such blinding blue; no matter how you looked at it, it was awkward.

This could count as trendy?

”Dear customer, this gentleman here already bought it and has paid for it,” the stall owner chuckled, then pointed to other items around: ”These all came in the same shipment, they’re all pretty good too.”

Luo Qianqian simply raised her eyebrows at the flamboyant ’big brother,’ entirely leaving it to him.

The flamboyant ’big brother’ spoke up directly, ”Whatever he paid, I’ll pay double!” pointing at Jimo Cheng.

The stall owner immediately refunded Jimo Cheng’s money, and as Jimo Cheng was about to say something, he saw Luo Qianqian grab the money back: ”Then give it to them, I don’t lack this one.” That was obviously a setup, okay? She wasn’t foolish, having seen so many scams before, she wasn’t about to be fooled.

Both the stall owner and flamboyant ’big brother,’ as if they hadn’t anticipated Luo Qianqian’s reaction, were stunned. Then as they saw the two turn around to leave, tried to stop them: ”Hey...” but didn’t know what to say.

Luo Qianqian turned back and smiled faintly at the flamboyant ’big brother,’ ”You offered a higher price, so we lost. Please go ahead.”

The flamboyant ’big brother,’ holding onto his wallet, hesitated whether to pay or not and squinted at Luo Qianqian before turning to leave.

Only then did Luo Qianqian pull Jimo Cheng back: ”Boss, I wonder what the price is now?” She looked at the stall owner, who still had the incense burner in his hands, his face full of awkwardness. Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow.

The stall owner was somewhat at a loss for words; who could have thought this young lady would stop the boy beside her from paying? Normally, at this point, a man should stand up for himself, right? How did she just stop him like that?

Watching Luo Qianqian quietly for a moment, he sighed, ”What do you think?” Saying this, he wrapped up the incense burner: ”You’re quite cautious, young lady. Take good care of yourself.”

Luo Qianqian, not understanding the stall owner’s reaction, took the incense burner. After Jimo Cheng frowned and paid, he led Luo Qianqian back the way they came.

But quite oddly and coincidentally, they were suddenly surrounded: ”Kid, looks like you’ve got some money, why don’t you shell out some cash to spend?”

This time, it wasn’t a flamboyant hairstyle but a bare-chested muscle man with a bald head—his head even reflecting light—and his face and body covered in lines of scars, looking like someone often involved in fights.

Luo Qianqian was stunned for a moment, looking around and not seeing the flamboyant man, her brows furrowing slightly. Could it be that this wasn’t his revenge?

Jimo Cheng raised an eyebrow, about to say something, but Luo Qianqian pulled at him, and he then witnessed the birth of a drama queen.

”Wuu wuu wuu... Brother... that bad uncle is so scary, wah wah wah... wuu wuu wuu... Brother, wuu wuu wuu... I’m scared... wuu wuu wuu...” Luo Qianqian grabbed Jimo Cheng and began crying, not just sobbing, but real tears were falling.

Jimo Cheng was immediately flustered, what to do if his junior sister cried???

Tissues, tissues, I don’t have any...

I pulled out a handkerchief, just used it to wipe Luo Qianqian’s hands that had touched those special products. Wouldn’t it be unhygienic to use it for her eyes???

”I fucking... ”

”Wuu wuu wuu, the bad uncle is yelling at me, the bad uncle is going to hit people, wuu wuu wuu, big brother, wuu wuu wuu, where are you, Mommy and Daddy?”

”Don’t cry, don’t cry.” Jimo Cheng couldn’t help but laugh and cry, comforting Luo Qianqian with a look of heartache.

The people buying the special products all gathered around, pointing at the Strong Guy.

Elder Hei, who had never seen such a situation before, was used to just paying up directly, or at most using a little force. They could then explain it as dealing with a thief or something. But this child just crying directly, it’s clear that they are a vulnerable group, what else could he say?

”I was just... asking for directions.” Watching the threatening stares, the Strong Guy instantly cowered. It seemed those two young people were staring at him because of these two, and normally he wouldn’t back down, but the aura of those two was not something he could compare with.

”We don’t know each other, wuu wuu wuu...” Luo Qianqian continued to cry.

”Hehe... hehehe... then I won’t disturb you any longer.” The Strong Guy quickly left with his people, and then Luo Qianqian swiftly stopped crying after they left, took out a tissue from her bag, wiped her tears, and blinked her eyes.

”My eyes feel a little sore.”

”You...” Jimo Cheng didn’t know what expression to make and could only stare at her dumbfounded.

Luo Qianqian said as if it was a matter of course, ”Senior brother, you should watch more TV dramas and novels. If you had acted, they would accuse you of stealing money or disturbing the public order in this area. They were just maintaining the peace.”

Jimo Cheng had a face of helpless resignation. So you just performed a split-second face change in the middle of the street? Weren’t you just acting like a good girl in front of him?

”Oh, by the way, forget about what just happened, senior brother. I am a lady,” Luo Qianqian said with a twinkle in her eyes.

The next second, Jimo Cheng felt like collapsing to the ground but gathered his strength to keep steady, and he maintained an appropriate smile on his face, ”Okay, I’ve forgotten.”

Luo Qianqian smiled faintly, ”Senior brother is truly a gentleman.”

The two didn’t continue their stroll but went straight back to the hotel because they still had to attend the auction in the afternoon. Although Elder Hei had prepared the Stones for the auction, participating in the bidding didn’t require Elder Hei’s approval, and there were also those tagged and secret Gambling Stones.

”Qianqian, don’t stand out too much later on, leave everything to me, okay?” Jimo Cheng didn’t forget to instruct her.

Luo Qianqian nodded repeatedly, her face calm, ”Don’t worry, senior brother. If we see something nice, I’ll definitely let you bid for it. I don’t have any money, so I won’t stand out.”

Jimo Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Elder Hei didn’t feel that the two kids would do anything at this big event, so he didn’t pay too much attention. After all, it was doubtful whether the funds the two kids had on hand would be enough even for one Stone.
