Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1008: Chapter 988: The Long-Lost Zhang Family

Luo Qianqian didn’t know these. Under the guidance of Zhang Ye, who had just finished his work, she followed him to the Zhang family home.

Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang couldn’t contain their excitement the moment they saw Luo Qianqian: ”Qhianqhian’s here, come in, come in.”

Grandson Zhang Ye suspected he was adopted.

He had never seen his grandpa act like this towards him in all these years!

”Grandpa Zhang,” Luo Qianqian smiled, holding Old Master Zhang’s hand, and sat down, ”How is Grandma Zhang?”

”Your Grandma Zhang just fell asleep. Wait until she wakes up, then you two can chat.” Old Master Zhang’s eyes squinted together in delight, ”You, child, just said you’d come, and you’re here without a word, without visiting us. What? Is the Luo Family so powerful that you don’t consider this old man your grandpa?” He put on a stern face, but there was a playful smile that couldn’t be hidden. It didn’t look like a scold at all.

Zhang Ye could only helplessly grab a pack of cookies, eating them slowly by himself on the side.

Who knew Old Master Zhang would give him a stern look again: ”Thinking only about eating yourself, quickly pour some water for Qhianqhian!”

Zhang Ye opened his mouth but stood up helplessly to pour water for Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian smiled with her eyes curved, waving her hand: ”No need, no need, I’m not thirsty.”

”Forget it, if I don’t pour you water now, the old man might kick me out later.” Zhang Ye silently opened the fridge and took out some juice.

Surely can’t go wrong this time?

The old man spoke again slowly, ”It’s better for girls to drink something warm.”

Zhang Ye’s mouth twitched. See? He knew he wasn’t their biological child. Clearly, he was tired from working all day too, right?

Luo Qianqian covered her mouth, stifling a laugh beside him, ”Grandpa Zhang, brother Zhang Ye is really tired today too, he brought me over without even having dinner...”

She was trying to mediate, but the next second she saw Old Master Zhang’s eyes widened in anger: ”What? Didn’t even feed you? What time is it? Zhang Ye, you little rascal!”

”I...” Zhang Ye put down the water glass, his mouth twitching: ”Grandpa, if you find me unpleasant and in the way, I’ll just go work overtime...”

”Look, an adult now, and I can’t even say a few words to you? Ungrateful grandchild!” Old Master Zhang glared with bull-like eyes, picking up the phone, dialing a string of numbers, and ordered a bunch of dishes before hanging up.

Luo Qianqian looked at Old Master Zhang in amazement, ”Grandpa Zhang, at your age, eating such greasy food? It’s not good for your health...”

Old Master Zhang shook his head with a smile and gave Zhang Ye another glare, forcing Zhang Ye to lower his head silently, wondering what he had done to displease the old man so much.

”This is for you to eat. Grandma Zhang and I have already eaten dinner. We’re old and eat early.”

”Grandpa Zhang, you call yourself old?” Luo Qianqian covered her mouth, chuckling softly, ”Listening to you scolding brother Zhang Ye, you’re full of energy.”

”Exactly...” Zhang Ye felt very aggrieved.

Not only scolding with vigor, but hitting hard too. What could he do? What else could he do?

”Hmph!” Old Master Zhang cast a glance over, successfully silencing Zhang Ye.

”What more do you want from me?...” Zhang Ye silently sang in his heart...

”If I also fall ill, who will take care of Grandma Zhang? It’s that stubborn lady, despite being told not to do certain things, she insists on challenging my authority. I’ve been teaching and educating people for so many years, and I’ve never seen someone so difficult...”

Luo Qianqian listened to Old Master Zhang’s words, covered her mouth, slyly smiling, ”That’s because she’s not your student. She’s your wife, your beloved. She needs to be coaxed, not scolded like you’re lecturing students. No wonder Grandma Zhang wasn’t pleased.”

Old Master Zhang heard Luo Qianqian’s words and showed a rare moment of embarrassment. He was being lectured by a youngster of the next generation?

His old face...

”But in your academic achievements, there’s definitely nothing to say. Look, both my brother and I are university students, right? Grandma Zhang has heard you for a lifetime, do you think she doesn’t know? She’s just being a bit coquettish, wanting you to coax her, not to educate her or teach her lessons.”

Having seen the interaction between her own grandparents, Luo Qianqian had some understanding of the thoughts of elderly grandmothers. She smiled, pursing her lips.

Old Master Zhang took his cup of tea, sipping it thoughtfully. Wasn’t that the case?

His own lady was quite talented. Did this situation even require him to say anything?

”If Grandpa Zhang wants to scold someone, just scold brother Zhang Ye. After all, he’s a man, with a thick skin.” Luo Qianqian, watching Zhang Ye quietly sipping juice and ignoring her, unabashedly struck a blow.

Zhang Ye spat out a mouthful of juice, looking into Luo Qianqian’s teasing eyes with a wry smile, ”My skin is quite thin, very thin, very thin.”

”Hahaha, Qhianqhian’s right. Brat, make sure your phone is always reachable in the future.” Old Master Zhang readily accepted the suggestion, nodding in satisfaction.

Zhang Ye looked bitter, ”Grandpa, I’m busy with work...”

”Don’t worry, I’ll call you during your breaks.” Old Master Zhang was quite proud, ”You have to eat, don’t you?”

Zhang Ye twitched his mouth. He was so busy that eating was a luxury, let alone having time to sleep.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. With an attentive eye, Zhang Ye went to open it. He didn’t dare to be dense around these two elders, fearing another scolding.

”Dad? Mom?” Zhang Ye was slightly taken aback when he saw the two people outside with small packages in hand.

”Qhianqhian’s here?” Mrs. Zhang directly pushed aside her son and went in upon seeing Luo Qianqian. She placed her bags on the ground and sat down beside Luo Qianqian, hugging her tightly, ”Long time no see, our Qhianqhian has become even more beautiful.”

”Auntie, you’ve become more elegant. Over the years, you’ve only grown more refined, your appearance hasn’t changed a bit. Is it the feng shui at Grandpa Zhang’s house that’s nurturing?” Luo Qianqian hugged the auntie in front of her, the other half of the once ’Zhou Luo’ combination.

Even though this name is now managed by Qin Nuan.

And ever since Yhan Miyuan withdrew from this circle, this person will disappear, never to appear again.

It was born because of Yhan Miyuan, and with his absence, this fictional person naturally has no reason to exist.

”Let’s eat quickly. Little One and I have been starving all afternoon.” Zhang Ye watched his mother with tearful eyes and quickly changed the topic, feeling a headache coming on.

Luo Qianqian indeed hadn’t had anything all afternoon.

She had a bit of lunch at school, but it wasn’t appetizing, and she only managed a few bites.

Quickly arranging the dishes on the table, Luo Qianqian finally understood why Old Master Zhang spoke so bluntly earlier without mentioning the address. It turned out he was calling his own son?

”Qhianqhian, eat more.”

”Try this, this place makes it really authentic.”

”This is good.”

At the table, the other three had already eaten, leaving only Luo Qianqian and Zhang Ye without food. Zhang Ye watched the three occasionally pick up communal chopsticks to give Luo Qianqian some food, and then looked at himself, being ignored, and sighed.

Sure enough, he must have been adopted!
