Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 936: Chapter 916: The Red-Haired Woman, Qu Lin

Listening to Luo Qianqian’s words, the man’s face turned pale. He was about to do something, but noticed Tang Tianyi behind Luo Qianqian squinting his eyes and staring at him intently.

He left dejectedly.

Not long after, word spread that the stone dissection table over there had collapsed, producing a black result.

With a chuckle, Luo Qianqian shrugged her shoulders, ”It’s not that there’s no retribution, just that the time hasn’t come yet.”

”Thanks for your help.” The red-haired woman appeared next to Luo Qianqian, smiling with a hint of sadness on her face.

”You’re welcome.” Luo Qianqian smiled lightly.

The first time the red-haired woman met Luo Qianqian was outside the venue. She targeted her and went on a tirade, not expecting Luo Qianqian to end up helping her.

If it weren’t for Luo Qianqian’s scene, that person might not have wanted to place an order so soon.

That person was extremely suspicious by nature.

If it hadn’t been for those few coincidences of hers being reported on, he might never have believed her, right?

”Meeting is fate. I give this to you, may you be safe and worry-free all your life.” The red-haired woman took something from her neck; a green jade pendant hanging from a red string, shaped liked a Ruyi.

”I shouldn’t take it without earning it...” Luo Qianqian was about to refuse when she saw the man approaching again.

Seeing Luo Qianqian standing with the red-haired woman, he became furious, ”Qu Lin! After the accident in your family, the Guan Family took great care of you, because of our childhood friendship! I was even planning to marry you after this, but you...!”

The woman in red snorted coldly, ”My biggest regret in life is not recognizing you as a scum sooner! You play the gentleman with Qu Rou while stringing me along, even going so far as to harm my parents for her! Do you think your actions were foolproof? Like your regular trips to the Jinxiu Homeland complex on Wednesdays? Like your ’overtime’ at the shopping mall on Sundays? Or how, before my parents’ accident, the exhibition only had you and my dear uncle’s family present? Or how, after my parents’ incident, you produced a will granting all inheritance to your uncle’s family? How am I to trust that? I was just unwilling to think about it, not foolish!”

After saying this, she stuffed the jade pendant into Luo Qianqian’s hand, motioned for her to leave first, and continued watching the man: ”Guan Xiang, do you think Qu Rou doesn’t know about you and Liu Kaitong? Or do you think the Liu Family doesn’t know about your deeds? They merely want to extract the last ounce of value from me! But guess what you all didn’t expect, I haven’t been blinded. Even after seeing those falsified evidence, even seeing my parents’ ’handwritten’ will! Do you know why Qu Rou’s family hasn’t secured my parents’ assets? Because it’s been under my name since I came of age! Do you think my father was unprepared against a wolf-like brother? Ha, but alas, just before you came to see me this morning, I’ve donated all my assets, so don’t count on marrying me to make a comeback!”

”By the way, your parents should already know about this; whether they’re having a stroke or a brain thrombosis, I don’t know. Whether their brakes fail, I know even less!”

”Pa!” A slap landed on Qu Lin’s face.

Guan Xiang’s expression twisted nearly to distortion, ”You shameless woman!”

Had he, grinning foolishly for so long, been played by this Qu Lin who had always admired him? How was he to accept this?

The crucial point was, this woman even calculated against him upon learning the truth, repeating his family’s past mistakes?

They had known each other for years, and he had always thought of Qu Lin as a simple but somewhat overbearing spoiled princess. Discovering this different side of her, he found it a bit hard to accept, yet it gave him a fresh thrill.

In that moment, he had an impulse to pin her down and punish her severely.

However, he quickly realized he was no longer the heir of the Guan Family! He was now nothing more than a child of the Guan Family.

In a fit of rage, he kicked Qu Lin in the stomach, making her fall to the ground.

”Bitch! Why don’t you just die?” He kicked and kicked, only stopping when Tang Tianyi and the surrounding people pulled him away.

Qu Lin’s face showed no anger, but instead bore a smile, laughing to the point of tears.

Mom, Dad, I’ve avenged you. Can you see?

Qu Lin looked towards the ceiling, laughing through her tears.

”Sister, get up, let’s rest first.” Luo Qianqian helped Qu Lin up, her face full of pity and helplessness.

Having listened for so long, she naturally understood some things, such as this man, Guan Xiang, having three women: Qu Lin, Qu Rou, and another named Liu Kaitong.

Moreover, Qu Rou was the daughter of Qu Lin’s uncle’s family.

And despite being childhood friends, it had come to this.

Luo Qianqian just couldn’t figure out what this scheme was about?

What’s the remaining value about?

Tang Tianyi soon returned, not feeling at ease with Luo Qianqian being alone. But seeing Luo Qianqian’s strange expression, he felt a wave of confusion, what’s wrong?

Looking behind him, there didn’t seem to be anyone noteworthy, implying Luo Qianqian’s complex gaze was directed at him?

”Sister?” Outside, he still dared not call her by name, Tang Tianyi looked at Luo Qianqian.

”Let’s go.” She pointed to the cart, helping Qu Lin.

After sending off a few pieces of Gambling Stone, Luo Qianqian found a café and sat across from Qu Lin, ”Sister? You...”

”I’m fine.” Qu Lin wiped away her tears with a smile, ”You owe me this coffee, I’m penniless now.”

”Okay.” Luo Qianqian responded softly.

Before Luo Qianqian could ask, Qu Lin began to speak.

”Do you think if I could really tell which piece would produce jade, my family would have been conned by them?” Qu Lin held the coffee cup, her face full of sarcasm, ”But today, I did know, because that piece originally belonged to my family...”

Luo Qianqian listened in confusion to Qu Lin’s account, her eyes gradually clearing.

It turns out Qu Lin had merely guessed a few pieces of Gambling Stone correctly when she was a child, which all turned out jade. So in this field, she was revered like a Goddess, and it was also then that the Guan Family became the Qu Family’s neighbors.

But from that point on, the Qu Family forbade Qu Lin to say anything, afraid one slip might affect the family’s business.

After all, Qu Lin was really just guessing blindly.

Externally, the Qu Family claimed that Qu Lin’s ability couldn’t be used often, lest her life be shortened. So they never utilized her again.

Luo Qianqian pressed something under the table with her phone, then returned her gaze to the tabletop, ”Have you really let go?”

Qu Lin didn’t expect Luo Qianqian’s first question to be so sharp.

Bitterly, she said: ”It’s been nearly twenty years. Do you think I can let it go?”

”The most reliable way to delete a memory is to replace it.” Luo Qianqian said firmly.
