Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 790: Chapter 770: The Ex-Girlfriend is a Terrifying Creature

As soon as she got in the car, Luo Qianqian leaned against the car door, her face a picture of exhaustion as she sighed repeatedly.

Jimo Cheng couldn’t help but be curious, ”What’s with you?”

”Senior brother, you don’t have any exes, do you?” Luo Qianqian’s face was filled with a look of grievance that made Jimo Cheng pause, then he immediately shook his head.

”No.”

”That’s good,” Luo Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, blinking, ”Ex-girlfriends are just too scary.” They remember you when you’re not together anymore, come to you when they need something and just naturally help out, it’s really terrifying.

Jimo Cheng couldn’t help but laugh, ”What made you have such a sentiment?” Recalling the apologetic expression on Lin Jiayou’s face when he had brought Luo Qianqian to the car: ”Did your brother’s ex-girlfriend come looking for him? And he couldn’t handle it so he turned to you?”

”How could she come looking for me?” Luo Qianqian pouted, ”I just happened to run into Comrade Lin Jiayou working all over the place yesterday, and he only spilled the beans under my ’severe interrogation’.”

”Severe interrogation, huh.” Jimo Cheng looked helpless, ”Are you tired? Do you want to eat something?”

”Ah...” Suddenly, Luo Qianqian sat up straight, startling even the driver into slamming on the brakes.

”What’s wrong?” Jimo Cheng quickly looked at Luo Qianqian fearing she might have gotten hurt, only to see her pull a face.

”I had planned to pour this hot milk over her head and forgot to drink it...” Luo Qianqian looked utterly dejected, ”Isn’t that a waste?”

Jimo Cheng was speechless. Was it just for that?

He made a gesture to the driver, who started the car again, ”No worries, just think of it as though I drank it.”

”Senior brother...” Luo Qianqian cocked her head towards Jimo Cheng.

”Hmm?” Jimo Cheng’s gaze was fixed on Luo Qianqian’s eyes, free of any impurity.

Luo Qianqian’s face turned red, and she shook her head, ”It’s nothing.”

Seeing Luo Qianqian suddenly blush, Jimo Cheng was a bit confused. What was going on?

Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue, she couldn’t very well tell Jimo Cheng to stop thinking with his lower half from now on...

But on second thought, as gentlemanly as Jimo Cheng seemed, he probably wouldn’t do such a thing.

Not like Lin Jiayou, that guy who hadn’t even graduated from high school yet, and was already...

Jimo Cheng, watching Luo Qianqian stick out her tongue, also felt somewhat helpless: ”Do you want to eat anything?”

Luo Qianqian tilted her head, thinking that it hadn’t been long since she had eaten lunch.

Her eyes twirled, ”Let’s go to Han Moxuan? I want to go see Shijin.”

Upon hearing the name ’Shijin’, Jimo Cheng was taken aback for a moment before he realized what ’Shijin’ actually was.

He nodded. The driver, seeing Jimo Cheng nod in the rearview mirror, also nodded.

”By the way, Qianqian, Grandpa said he wants you to go with him again when you’re free. He wants to win back all the tea he’s lost before,” Jimo Cheng said with a face full of resignation. Having such a grandpa was a bit of a headache, just like a kid; always wanting to continue after a win, without considering who used to go sulk in the study for half a day after a loss?

”Oh,” Luo Qianqian’s eyes lit up. She was about to agree when a hint of hesitation flashed through her.

”What about Gongyang Chou?”

Hearing the name coming from Luo Qianqian’s mouth also made Jimo Cheng startle, then sigh.

”Why are you sighing?” Luo Qianqian tilted her head to look at Jimo Cheng, a face full of curiosity.

Jimo Cheng shook his head: ”You don’t know, he and Grandpa were rivals before, but later... Gongyang Family and Jimo Family are no longer on the same level, and Grandpa went abroad, so whenever he gets the rare chance, he wants to compete. Every time Grandpa comes back, he manages to ’accidentally’ run into him in various places.”

Luo Qianqian indicated that she really did know that.

But she still obediently nodded her head: ”Then why does he...”

”Grandpa doesn’t understand either.” Jimo Cheng shook his head: ”Although I’m highly talented in traditional Chinese painting, it’s... not very useful.”

”Not very useful? What do you mean?”

”There are those who are higher than me, but they won’t easily participate in those competitions.” As Jimo Cheng spoke, he began to bitter-smile.

Luo Qianqian was startled for a moment, then quickly grabbed Jimo Cheng’s hand: ”Senior brother is the same, casually participating in one and able to win an award, usually not participating, right?” Her serious-looking face actually gave Jimo Cheng a bit of psychological comfort.

”The point is...” Luo Qianqian chuckled: ”Among the people I know, senior brother is the best, and that’s enough for me. In my eyes, you’re the most amazing.”

Looking at Luo Qianqian’s smiling eyes and brows, Jimo Cheng felt warmth in his heart. Suddenly he understood why Grandpa wanted a granddaughter; it wasn’t without reason. Some things, when said by a girl rather than a boy, felt completely different.

Seeing Luo Qianqian, Jimo Cheng also began to smile.

”In my eyes, Jin Yue is also the most amazing.”

Luo Qianqian pouted: ”I don’t believe that when senior brother says that.”

”Why wouldn’t you believe it?” Jimo Cheng looked at Luo Qianqian: ”It’s true, why would I lie to you?”

Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, full of doubt: ”Because I’m no good at anything? I haven’t learned anything.”

”But...” Jimo Cheng gently laughed: ”Jin Yue hasn’t learned anything and can already do so much. Wouldn’t you know everything if you just casually learned a little? And being a university student at such a young age, I think I’m smart, but I’m not as amazing as you. But you’re so amazing yet still work so hard.”

Luo Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then a warm smile spread across her face: ”Senior brother is really kind.” She really wanted to give him a ’good guy’ card; he truly was a good person.

Jimo Cheng didn’t know what Luo Qianqian was thinking. Seeing the bright smile on her face, he smiled along.

”You’re so nice, senior brother, just don’t turn into a scumbag,” Luo Qianqian blinked, her face serious.

Luo Qianqian kept in mind Qin Nuan’s past lessons – all nice before marriage, but able to kill her after. If he hadn’t really been good to her, why would Qin Nuan have married him?

So, towards Jimo Cheng, Luo Qianqian also maintained some reservations.

”What kind of person is a scumbag?” Jimo Cheng raised his eyebrows, his face full of curiosity.

”Like domestic violence, you’re a black belt, I definitely can’t beat you...” Luo Qianqian blinked her eyes, very serious.

Jimo Cheng spread his arms helplessly: ”Why would I ever hit you? I never will. You shouldn’t forget you have so many brothers backing you up.”

Luo Qianqian thought of the brothers, one after another, challenging Jimo Cheng, her face also carrying a tender smile. Having brothers is really nice.

”And cheating, with so many pretty girls around...” Cheating and domestic violence only come down to zero or countless times, Luo Qianqian firmly believed.

”But they are not you,” Jimo Cheng laughed and reached out to ruffle Luo Qianqian’s hair, messing it up: ”Don’t think too much. I don’t have so much time to deal with so many people; one of you is enough for me.”

With a smile on her face, Luo Qianqian, though unsure of the future, believed him at this moment.
