Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 743: Chapter 723: Not Letting the Old Master Eat Meat

Three people went downstairs for breakfast and couldn’t help but find it amusing to see Yue Tingyu cautiously serving soup with a big bone in it for Baozi.

”Good morning, Grandma.”

”Good morning, Grandma Luo.” ”Good morning, Grandma Luo.”

All three said in unison.

Yue Tingyu was startled, but upon seeing them, she relaxed, ”Hurry up and eat, your Grandpa will be back soon.”

So what if he comes back? What’s the big deal? Luo Qianqian was puzzled, but as she sat down at the table, she understood Yue Tingyu’s meaning.

There was a large pot of soup on the table, filled with ribs and corn, and it looked delicious.

”Qianqian, drink more. You guys eat all the meat,” Yue Tingyu said with a smile. She left her next words unsaid, but Luo Qianqian understood—don’t leave any for your Grandpa.

Eating ribs awkwardly, she felt that according to Grandma’s personality, she should have set some aside specifically for Grandpa, right?

You can’t claim to stop eating meat and not eat any at all, can you?

With that thought, Luo Qianqian tentatively asked, ”Grandma, what is Grandpa having for breakfast?”

Yue Tingyu paused, then smiled gently, ”I’ll make noodles for your Grandpa.”

The Luo family always used bone broth for their noodles, and Luo Qianqian got the hint immediately. She stopped talking and obediently ate her meal.

Not given meat, but still provided with the necessary nutrients—truly a couple. Luo Qianqian shook her head helplessly. This was taking care of Grandpa, so she better not give Grandma a hard time anymore. She decisively picked up two ribs and finished them off, watching Baozi gnawing on a bone, feeling somewhat helpless. Even Baozi had meat and bones to chew on, while Grandpa couldn’t even see a bit of minced meat.

After the three of them finished their meal and got ready for school, Old Master Luo leisurely returned, ”Leaving already?”

”Yeah, Grandpa, hurry and eat. Hehe, go for it, Grandpa.” Luo Qianqian winked at Old Master Luo, pointing at the big bone in front of Baozi with a mischievous expression.

”Goodbye, Grandpa Luo.” Qin Nuan and Cong Rong quickly greeted him before pulling Luo Qianqian away.

Isn’t that just asking for trouble? Letting Old Master Luo see Baozi gnawing on a bone while he could only have clear noodle soup—wouldn’t that be infuriating?

Little did the two of them know the secret of the Luo family’s noodles. Luo Qianqian simply smiled and didn’t explain much. After all, the noodles made by Grandma were super delicious, hand-pulled with rich broth, and even without meat, one bowl made you crave another.

Qin Wen had indeed been waiting at the entrance of the complex and immediately showed concern when he saw Luo Qianqian, ”Are you okay? I thought you must be tired, so I didn’t disturb you.”

Luo Qianqian shook her head lightly, ”I’m strong as an ox, and everything tastes delicious!” She then struck a bodybuilder’s pose in front of Qin Wen.

Qin Nuan looked disgusted, and then turned to Qin Wen, ”Brother didn’t mention me?”

”Mention you for what? Just because there’s a reason doesn’t mean it has to follow that process, right? The important thing is, he’s been very busy lately, he doesn’t have time.” Qin Wen smiled, ”You might have a sister-in-law soon.”

”What? No way!” Qin Nuan was incredulous; not to speak ill, but she could hardly remember her brother liking anyone.

Qin Wen’s face was full of helplessness, ”Otherwise, why would he not come home every night? When I call him, he actually hangs up on me and then sends me a message back saying he’s busy and not to disturb him.”

”... that’s not necessarily the case.” Qin Nuan pursed her lips, ”I’m not saying this just for your sake, Second Brother, but not only should Big Brother start thinking about this issue, you should too, okay? Why do you want me to get married before both of you?” Although in her previous life that’s exactly what had happened...

”Isn’t it inevitable?” Qin Wen seemed careless, looking through the rearview mirror, his eyes clear, ”Mine will come sooner or later; who knows, maybe my future sister-in-law is still in elementary school.”

”That’s illegal, Second Brother, what you’re doing is illegal.” Qin Nuan was calm, shaking her head, serious, ”Even if you find someone in college or high school, that’s almost acceptable, but elementary school? You have to respect your profession, those who know the law yet break it receive a heavier punishment!”

”Why, is it okay for Qianqian to be raised but not me?” Qin Wen rolled his eyes, ”Qianqian is not that much older, okay?”

”...Is this what they call being shot while lying down?” Luo Qianqian looked at Cong Rong innocently but mumbled quietly, ”Who raised me? I wasn’t aware. But it seems like it’s the pig I’ve been raising that got lost.”

”Huh?” Cong Rong didn’t hear what Luo Qianqian said and looked at her puzzled.

Luo Qianqian just shook her head gently, ”It’s nothing.” There was a hint of bitterness in her smile; her pig, her lord, had been abandoned in a distant land. She wondered if he would bring back a blond-haired, blue-eyed sister. Maybe even have a blond-haired, blue-eyed handsome boy, just like Elvis...

Suddenly, someone’s ears turned red, and he sneezed, looking around in confusion: ”Who’s talking about me again?”

Arriving at the school gate, Qin Wen cheerfully bid farewell to the three of them, eyeing the effervescent young girls at the school entrance, contemplating whether he should get a girlfriend. Then he thought about his little sister, who had no consideration for her brothers! Look at Luo Qianqian!!!

The three of them walked happily to the dormitory only to see two very familiar figures standing under the dormitory building: ”Brother Jiayou? Zhang Yun? What are you two doing here?”

Lin Jiayou, watching Luo Qianqian, looked as if he was about to cry. Could he say he was worried, yet didn’t dare to call, for fear of hearing some bad news? So he could only wait here at the bottom of the dormitory building, almost kicked out by the dorm manager...

”Qianqian...” Lin Jiayou’s voice trembled, could he say that he had been standing here since five o’clock? For over two hours...

”Did you have a fight with Zhang Yun?” Luo Qianqian cocked her head, seeing Zhang Yun’s pained expression, she quickly advised, ”Seriously, you should know that girls need to be coaxed. Hurting yourself like this will worry her too, and it’s not good if you get a cold afterwards... wait, what’s with those looks?”

Luo Qianqian observed Qin Nuan’s exasperated gaze, Cong Rong’s utterly speechless look, and even Zhang Yun’s eyes were filled with helplessness, with Lin Jiayou’s eyes blatantly hurt...

”What did I say wrong?” Luo Qianqian blinked her innocent big eyes.

Lin Jiayou rubbed his head, holding the coat Zhang Yun had brought down for him, ”I really am an idiot; why didn’t I just make a phone call?”

Zhang Yun nodded repeatedly on the side.

”Hey, Brother Jiayou, you didn’t think I died, did you?” Luo Qianqian, catching onto Qin Nuan and Cong Rong’s gazes, finally realized what was happening and smiled, ”Don’t worry, I belong to pandas, with both the cat’s nine lives and the bear’s strength, I won’t ever be easy to get rid of.”

Lin Jiayou glanced at her, ”All I knew was that you took leave yesterday.”

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes. Even if he didn’t dare to call her, he could’ve asked Zhang Yun to call Qin Nuan or Cong Rong. They took leave together, after all. The main thing was, Jimo Cheng was there too, so it wasn’t impossible to find out without contacting her directly.

”I was being stupid...” Lin Jiayou waved his hand, too anxious to think of those alternatives before, now shaking his head resignedly, ”By the way, the issue at Xiao Yu’s home has been resolved, you don’t have to worry. And...”

”What?” Luo Qianqian, seeing Lin Jiayou’s weird expression, immediately frowned and prodded for an answer.

”She transferred schools, into a boarding school. She said to tell you to wait for her.”
