Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 810: Chapter 790: Did Something Happen to Lu Simiao?

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the school gate, the four of them were stopped.

Moreover, they were stopped by people they didn’t recognize.

”Hey, are you Luo Qianqian?” one of them asked, looking at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian nodded calmly, ”Yes, that’s me. Is something wrong?” Her face was full of confusion, wondering if rumors had already spread in such a short time. That was incredibly fast!

”Oh, the announcement was just calling for you.” The boy pointed at the radio. ”It seems you didn’t answer your phone.”

Luo Qianqian froze for a moment, recalling that she had set her phone to silent after messaging Elvis. She quickly took it out, suddenly feeling exasperated, ”What’s going on?”

Various unidentified numbers, along with calls from Zhang Yun and Cong Rong...

”Thank you.” Luo Qianqian nodded and then turned to Fang Youyuan, ”It seems we don’t need Senior Brother to take us. I have some matters to attend to.”

Fang Youyuan made a casual gesture, and Luo Qianqian hastily dialed the first number.

Du du...

It only rang twice before being answered.

”Hello, is this Ms. Luo Qianqian?”

The voice was an unfamiliar female one.

Luo Qianqian paused for a moment before saying, ”Yes, I’m Luo Qianqian. May I know who I’m speaking with?”

Upon hearing Luo Qianqian’s very youthful voice, the other side hesitated for a moment, ”Are you Lu Simiao’s sister?”

Upon hearing Lu Simiao’s name, Luo Qianqian frowned tightly, ”Yes, what’s happened to him?”

”Well, please don’t worry yet, Lu Simiao was playing around with classmates at noon and fell down the stairs. We’re at the hospital now...”

”Which hospital?” Luo Qianqian asked promptly without any hesitation.

After hearing the name of the hospital, Luo Qianqian hung up and turned to Qin Nuan, ”Lu Simiao is currently in emergency care, I need to go.”

”I’ll go too.” Qin Nuan paused and then said, though with a furrowed brow, ”Why did they contact you instead of my brother?”

”...It was my number given from the start.” Luo Qianqian didn’t hesitate. The emergency contact information Lu Simiao submitted was all for her.

The adoption issues had already troubled Qin Wen enough, and she didn’t want to burden him any further.

”Let’s go, I’ll drive.” Fang Youyuan listened to Luo Qianqian and understood this wasn’t the time to fool around, his face now showing some seriousness.

Jimo Cheng also looked at Luo Qianqian, ”Don’t worry, he’ll be okay.”

Luo Qianqian nodded, pulling Qin Nuan along as they followed the two into the car. Even then she didn’t forget to message Elvis to continue requesting leave.

Elvis replied in the next second: The whole school knows you’re taking leave.

Luo Qianqian paused, then chuckled bitterly. Well, they’ve come to the school looking for her; of course, it’s serious enough to cause concern.

She scolded herself for not checking her phone earlier.

What if they didn’t return until tonight...

Qin Nuan frowned, ”My phone’s dead, that’s why I didn’t get any calls either...”

Luo Qianqian spread her hands helplessly, ”Good thing we’re going now.”

Upon reaching the hospital, they quickly found out where Lu Simiao was and hurried up, seeing worried teachers and school leaders, and a sobbing student with his father.

”I’m Luo Qianqian, how’s my brother?” Luo Qianqian directly approached the most anxious-looking female teacher.

Sure enough, this was the one who had called her.

”Still in emergency...” The female teacher was stunned by Luo Qianqian’s height and youthful face but answered her question nonetheless.

”Okay, can someone explain how this happened?” Luo Qianqian asked calmly, looking at the boy nearby.

The boy was taller than Luo Qianqian even though called a ’little boy.’

”He just wasn’t careful himself...” The boy promptly replied without hesitation.

Luo Qianqian nodded, pulled out her phone, and made a call, ”Elvis, help me check the surveillance at Simiao’s school, back them up.”

After hanging up, she stayed composed, ”I trust my brother isn’t someone who would play dangerously. I’m not short of money, but don’t think I’m easy to fool just because of my age! Even if he’s foolish, he wouldn’t just get injured without reacting!”

Her voice was soft but authoritative.

”It’s just a child, right? You’re not short of money, so how about I give you ten thousand yuan, enough for you little brats to spend for a year, isn’t it?” The boy’s father looked impatient; if it were a male guardian he might have been more cautious, but she was just a kid.

No one expected Fang Youyuan to throw the ten thousand yuan at his face, stepping forward, ”Fine, I’ll give you another ten thousand yuan. I don’t need your son to suffer severe injuries, just enough for him to enter the emergency room too. I’ll try to go easy!”

He clenched his fist with a wicked grin, touching his nose lightly, ”Naturally, if the parent receives the blow instead, that’s acceptable.”

Jimo Cheng pulled Luo Qianqian behind him with a smile, ”You’re too stingy, Senior Brother. How about giving a hundred thousand instead, sending both father and son in, so there’s no gossip, and they won’t have an excuse for revenge on Qhianqhian.”

”Revenge on Qhianqhian? As if they could!” Fang Youyuan swung a fist near the parent’s ear, without touching him, just letting him hear the sound of it.

Jimo Cheng kicked the air in front of the boy, bringing a gust of wind.

Qin Nuan pulled the two away, ”Is this a time for revenge? Wait for Lu Simiao to come out first, no need to start a fuss.”

Giving them an out, Luo Qianqian narrowed her eyes and picked up the wad of money.

She looked at the school leaders, who didn’t dare make a sound, ”Which teacher advanced the surgery fee earlier? And who signed the consent form?”

The earlier responding teacher stammered, ”It was me...”

Her face was filled with fear that Luo Qianqian might be angry, and the two men behind her might fight.

Luo Qianqian handed the money to the teacher, ”Thank you, keep it, I’ll cover the medical and surgery fees later.”

The teacher looked at Luo Qianqian, overwhelmed, ”This, this won’t do...”

”This isn’t bribery; my brother’s life is more valuable than money.” She finished and turned to Qin Nuan, silently hugging her, her arms trembling a bit.

Meanwhile, the father and son were still in shock, sitting on the floor.

Upon hearing the voice, Luo Qianqian glanced at them and snorted coldly.

”Young Master Jin Nian.” An old man hurriedly came over.

Luo Qianqian looked in surprise at the newcomer, ”Ninth Grandpa?”

”Ah, Little Jin Yuee, we’ll chat later.” Then he turned to Jimo Cheng.

Jimo Cheng quietly pointed at the operating room in front.

Ninth Grandpa calmly made a call. After he hung up, soon someone opened the operating room door and entered.

”Rest assured,” he said to Luo Qianqian before the door closed.
