Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 994: Chapter 974: You Messed with the Little One, So Her Big Sister Came Knocking

Wang Xue’s indignation didn’t last long. After lunch, the two of them returned to find a woman sitting at their desk.

The woman’s yellow hair seemed long overdue for a touch-up, with four or five centimeters of black roots showing, and countless earrings on her ears. Luo Qianqian felt less about how cool it was and more like her scalp was tingling. Wasn’t she afraid of the pain? The earrings weren’t outdated, but in Luo Qianqian’s eyes, this definitely wasn’t how a high schooler should look. A cigarette dangled from her mouth, and she played with one of Luo Qianqian’s pens, tapping it on the desk. Her face was as pale as a ghost from the heavy foundation, paired with makeup fit for a Sadako cosplay, with silvery black smoky eyeshadow, looking like she was ready for a stage performance.

The white top was at least reasonably clean, but the black vest was heavily adorned with metal accessories, several times more than Wang Xue’s. The black pants were low-rise, and from the eyes of the person standing behind, Luo Qianqian could imagine just how low they were.

”You looking for me?” Luo Qianqian asked calmly.

”You? Bullying my sister?” The woman looked at Luo Qianqian with disdain, reaching out to snap one of Luo Qianqian’s pens.

Luo Qianqian remained calm, casually taking out another pen from her bag and placing it on the desk.

”Your sister, who might that be? Judging by your style, it must be Wang Xue, right?” Luo Qianqian said unruffled, spreading her hands, ”Whatever, two bucks each, I have receipts.”

”I’m Wang Xue’s sister, Wang Yaen!” The woman almost stumbled when she heard Luo Qianqian’s words. She was actually asking her to pay? She slapped the desk hard as she stood up.

And what kind of pen is this? How can it be two bucks? Aren’t they usually one? Isn’t this a scam?

Upon closer inspection, it seemed that was indeed the price... suggested retail price two yuan...

Tang Tianyi looked exasperated, quietly returning to his seat.

”Oh,” Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow. ”What do you want with me?”

It seemed like she’d ask if anything was amiss, like an invitation to state one’s business instead of idling around.

”You bullied my sister, and you’re asking me what I want?” Wang Yaen pointed her finger straight at Luo Qianqian’s head.

Luo Qianqian looked around, not seeing Wang Xue, and raised her eyebrows slightly. ”Where’s the person involved?”

Bully someone? What an international joke? Wang Xue’s actions were purely self-inflicted.

But Wang Yaen didn’t look like a student either; she’s dark and old-looking, yet still painted her face ghostly white. Clearly, a healthy wheat-like complexion would look much better! Why choose the whole metal and non-mainstream style?

Not everyone can pull off that smoky eye look, you know?

Especially with those bright red lips—it looks like she’s just eaten raw meat.

Thinking back to when she once liked this style but never had the courage to try it, Luo Qianqian felt incredibly fortunate.

She was lucky that her family was poor at that time and didn’t let her deviate. . .

This look now would definitely be dirt on her later, especially with such heavy makeup now.

For no reason, Luo Qianqian wanted to take pictures of everyone dressed like this now and then... haha, later make them pay high prices to buy them back!

”Um... Xiao Qi, Wang Xue went to the hospital today, said her hemorrhoids burst...” Lu Mei meekly raised her hand on the side, looking innocent.

Luo Qianqian was so shocked her jaw almost dropped. Hemorrhoid, hemorrhoids?

A high school student having this? Really make her see things differently, truly can’t underestimate the series.

”Was it because of the chair remnants from yesterday?” Luo Qianqian covered her mouth, with a few chuckles, casting a sideways glance at Wang Yaen, ”What, you want to pin your own wrongdoing on me? I recall there’s a camera in the classroom.” She looked over at the surveillance camera beside the blackboard.

”Uh... mere decoration...” a timid voice chimed in. Upon closer inspection, it was a boy sitting next to Lu Mei.

Luo Qianqian frowned at him in confusion.

”It’s just for show, usually not used. If used, it would just waste electricity.” Anyway, violations are common every day and there’s no concern being recorded.

Luo Qianqian looked at the surveillance camera, confused, frowning, looking utterly speechless.

”Heh, so tell me, how are you going to compensate?” However, Wang Yaen seemed utterly unconcerned about Luo Qianqian’s reaction, crossing her arms, she looked down at Luo Qianqian smugly.

”Why on earth would I compensate? Not my problem!” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, shoved Wang Yaen aside, ”Don’t stand in my spot, and also, two bucks.” She casually tossed the bent pen into the trash and held out her hand to Wang Yaen.

Wang Yaen looked incredulous, glaring at Luo Qianqian, then frowned, with a threatening tone, she said fiercely: ”Deng Yuqi, don’t refuse the face I’m giving you! It’s for the new freshmen’s sake, just compensation and that’s it, or else...” As she said that, Wang Yaen clicked her fingers menacingly.

”Heh.” Luo Qianqian said nothing, quietly packed her things with a cold smile on her face.

As a gust of wind blew, Luo Qianqian stood up, and before a slap landed on her face, she was already crouching on the desk, a sharp broken blade was pressed against Wang Yaen’s neck: ”This counts as self-defense; generally, smart people wouldn’t give me a reason to fight back.” She tapped the blade on Wang Yaen’s cheek, her face expressionless, her eyes slightly cold: ”Unfortunately, the self-defense techniques my dad and brother taught me are second to none; if you want to mess with me, you’d better train for a few more years.” With that, the blade lifted Wang Yaen’s cheek hair, blowing lightly, a shower of short strands fell down.

”You should probably look up the term ’to slice hair with one blow’, and don’t mess with me unless you’re bored!”

Upon finishing, she tossed the dagger back into the desk casually, sitting down and wiping the desk clean.

Wang Yaen stood frozen for a while, finally leaving a harsh remark: ”You, you just wait for me!” Running off in a huff.

Tang Tianyi rolled his eyes at Luo Qianqian, lay down, and dozed off, completely ignoring her.

Luo Qianqian, however, turned to the onlooking classmates: ”It’s time for class, quickly back to your seats.”

Upon hearing Luo Qianqian’s gentle tone, they all felt chills down their spines.

Clearly a gentle girl, yet why was she so terrifying?

But what did she say? Self-defense techniques? And also self-defense? Does that mean she wouldn’t make a move without reason?

After a moment of silence, Lu Mei nodded at her, with a bit of confusion: ”Where did you get that dagger from?”

Knowing what’s in Luo Qianqian’s bag, she was quite clear.

Because while the two were gone, the bag had been rifled through multiple times.

Yet nothing useful was found inside, no identity information, money, or even a phone.

Just a few books and workbooks.

But of course, Luo Qianqian wouldn’t leave such valuable items in her schoolbag, would she?

”Of course, it’s... in my pocket.” Luo Qianqian winked at Lu Xue, with a face full of smiles.
