Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1004: Chapter 984: Encountering Zhang Ye on the Road

”Eh? Qianqhian?” Luo Qianqian was just about to head home when she saw a police car parked at the entrance of the Royal Palace and a familiar person stepping out in uniform.

Luo Qianqian’s lips twitched: ”Zhang Ye... what are you doing here?”

”Didn’t someone report something? I just came with my friend on the way. When did you come back?” Zhang Ye said a couple of words to the people around him, and they went inside the Royal Palace. He had a curious expression on his face.

Zhang Ye also looked somewhat worn, with a scruffy beard, not at all handsome.

”Uh-huh, how are Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang?” Luo Qianqian paused for a moment and asked.

”Grandpa’s fine; Grandma’s a bit under the weather lately. She even got hospitalized after a fall a few days ago.” Zhang Ye sighed, looking at Luo Qianqian’s clothes, and frowned: ”What’s this...?”

He clearly remembered that Luo Qianqian was now a college student, but why did this school uniform look so obtrusive?

And the little guy beside her, could it be that Luo Qianqian dropped out of school and returned to high school for this boy?

Instantly, his expression towards Tang Tianyi turned unfriendly.

”Not feeling well? Uh... Tianyi, give me the stuff.” Luo Qianqian paused for a moment and nudged Tang Tianyi beside her.

She then noticed Zhang Ye’s gaze and quickly explained, pulling Tang Tianyi along: ”This is my college classmate. Now... anyway, it’s a bit complicated. Don’t tell anyone you saw me; it’s a secret.”

Hearing it was a college classmate, Zhang Ye let out a breath of relief. If it was as he initially thought, he would have abused his power to take her back for a stern talking-to.

Tang Tianyi took out two small boxes containing the Spirit of Jade.

”These, lend them to Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang. When they aren’t needed, just give them to my godparents.” Luo Qianqian slightly raised her lips: ”It’s not a bribe, mind you; it’s a loan. You’ll have to pay wear and tear fees, like bringing some fruit over when you deliver it.”

Zhang Ye casually took the box: ”What’s this thing? And so stingy? Back then, with the Chengxin Tang paper, you were... What the...!!!”

As a recent case, when Nine Heavens Pavilion opened, it even invited their director, and although they settled it privately, it didn’t mean they hadn’t checked it out.

As for the treasure of the shop...

He had definitely looked at it closely, though only on a big screen, not up close.

And the price tag, five hundred million...

Holding the item cautiously, he was at a loss: ”Can’t you deliver it yourself? I feel weak at the knees handling this...”

This is ten billion just like that!!!

”Oh come on, there’s a box. Don’t lose it, or I’m not done with you. It’s good for health. Let Grandma Zhang wear it soon.” Luo Qianqian laughed, covering her mouth.

With that, Zhang Ye didn’t dare to stay longer. He immediately ran, hurrying home with a howl.

Just after he left, Sun Xuan and Yi Muhuan were brought out, wearing Royal Palace uniforms, unconscious and carried out.

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes. Good thing she had replaced the surveillance content early on; otherwise, tracing this line would have revealed their entry, wouldn’t it?

She looked at Tang Tianyi and stuck out her tongue: ”Good thing you thought of it.”

Tang Tianyi chuckled and went grocery shopping happily with Luo Qianqian to go home.

But that night, Zhang Ye wasn’t having it easy.

He had gone to show off, only to be ordered by Grandpa to find Luo Qianqian...

So he kept investigating, but by morning, he hadn’t found this name in any school...

And Luo Qianqian’s information online was locked, impossible to trace.

The phone wasn’t working... He genuinely had no outlet for his frustrations now.

Even because of Luo Qianqian’s request, he’d guessed that others like He Wenyu had no information about her either, and he didn’t dare to open his phone, fearing an unrelenting string of calls from the old master...

Old Master Zhang, looking at his wife’s improved complexion, still gnashed his teeth: ”This little brat, so thoughtless. How can one take out such a thing so casually?”

Zhang Ye’s father stood silently on the side, watching his own father touch the item around his neck, with a mixed expression of love and hate.

If you’re going to complain, wouldn’t it be better to take off the thing and then complain? Scolding energetically yet still cherishing it.

As for this item, all he could do was gulp.

Other jade stones, once bought, were bought. But this one, really couldn’t be afforded...

Even squandering everything wouldn’t buy it.

But Luo Qianqian had just given away two like that...

One could only marvel at the strength of Luo Qianqian’s grandfather’s family.

He never even considered the possibility that this thing was originally Luo Qianqian’s.

When Luo Qianqian showed up at school, Wang Xue’s gaze towards her was instinctively evasive.

She frowned slightly. Was Wang Zhuo arranging for surveillance on her?

However, Lu Xue looked filled with excitement: ”Hey, Xiao Qi, did you know? Wang Long was granted a six-month medical leave.”

”Huh? Why?” Luo Qianqian raised her eyebrows, looking clueless, while Tang Tianyi was still asleep as if nothing happened.

Still, Wang Xue persistently believed it had something to do with Luo Qianqian.

”Heard he’s dealing with something? But either way, whether he comes or not doesn’t matter.” Lu Xue showed a dismissive look.

Luo Qianqian’s lips twitched, everyone was the same, whether they come or not.

”Classmates, quiet down. Prepare for the monthly exam. Arrange your desks.” The old man entered, looking calm.

Luo Qianqian’s lips twitched. Isn’t arranging this for Friday? Shouldn’t there be some instruction on what to review?

She nudged Tang Tianyi, whispering: ”What do we do?”

Standing out shouldn’t be the goal, too showy, drawing attention, and bringing undue attention from school leaders.

But doing poorly isn’t a good idea either, it would waste this good teacher who still earnestly teaches amidst chaos in class seven.

”I’ll do science; you do math?” Tang Tianyi had clearly heard about the monthly exam, frowning slightly.

”Leave the rest blank? Isn’t that too deliberate?” Luo Qianqian frowned. While there was an excuse for foreign language, saying she couldn’t understand it and chose all wrong answers, for literature... there’s really no way to choose wrong, with just six multiple-choice questions...

Keeping the total score low would avoid the school’s attention, Tang Tianyi firmly believed.

”Or should we play with the scores? Want to?” Suddenly, Tang Tianyi got interested.

”How do you play?” Treating it like a game was more likely to pique her interest.

”The full score is 750, aim for 500. Whoever gets closer wins, and the loser must agree to one condition set by the winner.” Tang Tianyi thought for a moment and aimed for what he deemed a low score.

”Alright, I’m not taking the literature test.” For subjects with unstable scores, she always skipped them.

So for the first exam, both intentionally dozed off and handed in a blank paper...

Lu Mei was speechless, the highest average score in the class was for literature, but these two didn’t seem like good students at all.
