Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 704: Chapter 684: Not Enough Points?

Luo Xihan didn’t stop working, she started to process the remaining Gambling Stones they didn’t have high hopes for.

Meanwhile, Old Master Luo, content with the jadeite in his arms, went to the side to make a phone call.

Before any result was seen, Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, ”We’re not that shameless. Who wants this piece? But remember, no regrets about what comes out.”

Qin Nuan remained silent, clearly understanding that these pieces wouldn’t be enough for the Luo Family to share.

”Oh, right.” Luo Qianqian went over to the box, dug through the corner that looked like a pile of clothes, and took out the first piece she wanted to treasure, happily handing it to Yue Tingyu, ”Grandma, Grandma, this is the first piece of Jade I’ve extracted. Isn’t it super meaningful? Even though the material isn’t the best, it’s meaningful as a collection for Grandma.”

Old Master Luo had just hung up the phone and, hearing this, instantly widened his eyes, hurried to his wife’s side, and looked it over, snorting disdainfully, ”Mine still looks better.”

Yue Tingyu had been touched by the piece of jade she was given until she heard Old Master Luo’s mood-killing comment, and immediately raised her eyebrows, ”My granddaughter gave this to me, you dare to say it’s not good?”

Watching the old couple argue, Jia Ning was helpless and turned to Luo Xihan, ”Well, whatever comes out of this piece, I, your Second Aunt, want it. Even if it’s... I’ll keep it for you in a box.”

”Pfft...” Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but laugh. Did they really have that little faith in her? Still, this affectionate tone touched her deeply. Whether it was jadeite or gold and silver jewelry, Luo Xihan’s family wouldn’t lack anything, but it was the thought from the younger generation that mattered, not the gift’s value.

”Then the next one is mine,” Ye Qianying also laughed, patting Luo Qianqian on the shoulder, ”I believe Qianqian will bring me good luck.”

”Look at how you’re talking; I believe it too,” Jia Ning said, not to be outdone, while Luo Qianqian chuckled and wandered off to mutter to Qin Nuan.

”Did you see a small incense burner when you were wrapping the gifts? I saw it when I was buying local products, it looked like an antique to me,” Luo Qianqian said earnestly.

”That one? I couldn’t find a proper box for it, so I put it on your desk,” the two of them said and went upstairs again, leaving behind the quarreling Old Master Luo, Yue Tingyu, and the debating Ye Qianying and Jia Ning, and of course, Luo Xihan who was still kneeling by the coffee table, half-undressed.

The two inspected the small incense burner. Qin Nuan kept shaking her head; she had never seen an incense burner of this shape before.

”I’m not sure, but isn’t your Grandpa Kong an expert? Why not ask him? He’ll solve any problem,” Qin Nuan suggested, unable to distinguish anything special about the incense burner, turning it over in her hands.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianqian lit up, ”You’re right, I should pay a visit to him when I have some time.”

Qin Nuan was about to say something when they heard shouting from downstairs.

Luo Qianqian already had an idea of what it might be, waving off, ”It’s probably another discovery.” Judging by the sounds, it seemed Old Master Luo’s voice was the loudest?

”Let’s go, let’s go downstairs and see,” Qin Nuan said, pulling Luo Qianqian down the stairs with her.

Luo Qianqian followed reluctantly, her pace matching Qin Nuan’s. After all, it’d seem odd not to be interested in such an event, as if she already knew what was going to come out.

Once they reached the bottom of the stairs, they saw everyone staring seriously in their direction, and a confused Luo Qianqian said, ”What’s up? Did we uncover a dinosaur egg? If so, I’ll have to hand it over to the nation!”

But the joke didn’t lighten the severity of their gazes, even Old Master Luo’s brows were deeply furrowed.

”What exactly happened?” Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but shiver.

Before her eyes, the coffee table was revealed, and a blood-red piece of jadeite appeared in front of her. Luo Qianqian stared incredulously: ”Wow, Red Jade, I’ve seen it before, it’s valuable. Now Second Aunt must be making a fortune.” Luo Qianqian’s expression remained calm, without a hint of inappropriateness, ”Isn’t that right, with Second Uncle being so good at making money, should I say this is icing on the cake?”

Old Master Luo said sternly, ”Luo Qianqian, do you know how to respect your elders or not?”

Luo Qianqian was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? She nodded: ”I know,” right?

”Then why haven’t you presented the best to me, your grandfather?” Old Master Luo asked with a look of reproach, yet his eyes were full of jest.

”That’s right, Qianqian, if there’s nothing as good as this next, I won’t let it go,” Ye Qianying immediately laughed as well, unable to help but admire Luo Qianqian’s incredible luck. But this should be about it, right? Unearthing one piece had already recouped the costs, and two meant a profit. Moreover, this piece’s quality was really not bad; even though it was Ice-type, it was superb in color.

Luo Qianqian showed her teeth in a grin: ”That depends on Great Aunt’s luck.”

Nothing more was said.

Qin Nuan wasn’t willing to go upstairs this time, always feeling that every time they went up, they would be summoned back down by sudden screams.

Sitting and watching television, the unveiled jade was placed on the dining table, with Old Master Luo treating it like a treasure. He held a camera, taking photos from every angle.

He even occasionally asked Luo Qianqian to strike a pose to go with his photography.

”I’m really starting to wonder if Qianqian has been possessed by the Goddess of Luck,” Luo Xihan said as she paused her actions.

On the table lay a piece of Ice-type jadeite that was poplar green in color.

Luo Qianqian scratched her head: ”Maybe I am the little Goddess of Luck?”

Ye Qianying, too, was amazed and her eyes widened. No way, really? And it seemed to be almost as good as the previous piece.

”It seems Great Aunt is also favored by the Goddess of Luck,” Luo Qianqian said playfully and with a smile.

Ye Qianying immediately squatted down and hugged Luo Qianqian: ”Aren’t you the little Goddess of Luck?”

Luo Qianqian laughed ’hehe’, looking at the last piece on the floor: ”The remaining piece is for my future... *cough*... for Fourth Uncle, a little trouble for Second Uncle.”

”At least you know how to spread the wealth,” Jia Ning chuckled, looking at Luo Qianqian with teasing in her eyes: ”Aren’t you afraid it’ll end up being just a stone and your future aunt-in-law will look down on you?”

Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue: ”That won’t happen. I’m so cute that even if it’s just a stone, it’s still adorable.”

Seeing the jadeite raw stones that were almost the size of an adult’s fist and the one that Yue Tingyu had, which was clearly the size of a child’s head, Luo Xihan also couldn’t help but feel emotional. When he had brought them back, eight or nine out of ten were usually nothing special, so how come when it came to his little niece, one after another turned out to be a hit? Could there really be such a thing as fate? Was it true that some people are just favored?

”Try sending a brick...” and see if your Fourth Uncle doesn’t smack you to death. Qin Nuan thought wickedly.

She completely missed the smile that tugged at the corners of Luo Qianqian’s mouth. She hadn’t said that her Fourth Uncle would end up with an ’aunt-in-law,’ but that was a secret.
