Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1009: Chapter 989: Reunion with He Wenyu

After finishing the meal, Luo Qianqian exchanged a few polite words, then the Zhang family steered the conversation back to the Spirit of Jade.

Luo Qianqian paused for a moment, stating that it was her friend, Tang Tianyi, whom Zhang Ye had met, who opened the shop. The goods on his hands were limited, so bulk purchases or discounts weren’t possible.

Relatives and friends might have been able to borrow or try things on, but if everyone asked, how much would there be?

No... Luo Qianqian suddenly thought about the stones she received on Yingzhou Island, which seemed to be the same material as the Spirit of Jade?

The key point was that she even placed that piece of jade, which felt very comfortable to the touch, in the box with Dandan.

Could it be crushed by the hyperactive Dandan?

Her expression turned a bit strange.

Grandpa Zhang noticed the change in Luo Qianqian’s face and slightly furrowed his brows: ”What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

”No, I was just wondering if I locked the door when I left.” Luo Qianqian hastily changed the subject, smiled, chatted for a bit, and soon Grandma Zhang woke up. Upon seeing Luo Qianqian, she became very excited and started reproaching her for not coming home to visit during holidays.

Luo Qianqian could only smile wryly; after all, she hadn’t even returned to her own home.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Ye took Luo Qianqian home, and Luo Qianqian didn’t forget to tell the Zhang family to keep things confidential.

They hadn’t reached home yet when Zhang Ye received a call, and his expression changed a bit.

”What’s the matter? Is there an emergency? I can take a cab home myself.” Luo Qianqian didn’t want to interfere with Zhang Ye’s business, after all, there were things he might not be able to ask about.

”No, it’s just... Xiao Yu is at Mango. She just called me for help...” Zhang Ye’s face looked a bit conflicted.

Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened instantly: ”Mango, don’t tell me it’s a nightclub...”

The name doesn’t even sound like a KTV, right?

”Uh, it’s more accurately called a nightspot...” Zhang Ye nodded, but didn’t hesitate to start the car: ”Let’s go have a look first; I’m afraid something might happen if we’re late.”

”Let’s go.” Luo Qianqian narrowed her eyes, her expression looking quite sinister.

Has it really been that long? How could Xiao Yu end up in a nightclub? This is not normal at all!

They had agreed to meet in college, so Xiao Yu should be working hard, right?

Looking at what she was wearing, Luo Qianqian glanced at Zhang Ye dressed in casual clothes beside her: ”Can I get in wearing sportswear?”

Don’t places like that usually have... revealing attire?

”Why wouldn’t you be able to get in?” Zhang Ye raised an eyebrow, appearing casual and composed, parking the car by the roadside before a nightclub brightly lit: ”Come on, let me show you around.”

Luo Qianqian touched her nose, just hoping that if her brothers found out, they wouldn’t do anything impulsive.

Still, she kept close to Zhang Ye’s steps.

As they walked in, they saw a girl in a short skirt on the phone, seemingly looking for someone, her face filled with indignation, as if she was gravely wronged. Her bright red lips, golden nails, and exaggerated eye makeup highlighted her fashionable style.

In Luo Qianqian’s eyes, it just seemed somewhat mismatched.

Passing by the girl, navigating through a winding passage, Luo Qianqian and Zhang Ye were stunned by the scene in front of them...

Pajamas... it was actually a pajama party...

Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched as she gawped at the various, flamboyant pajamas, thinking of He Wenyu, her lips tightened into a straight line.

Sweeping around the area and seeing no one, Luo Qianqian frowned, watched Zhang Ye adjust his phone to the loudest volume, and called He Wenyu.

The call was disconnected after a couple of rings.

Calling again, it went to voicemail.

This time, Luo Qianqian felt something was really off.

However, in there, the deafening music, exaggerated performances on stage, and loud cheers made it hard for the two to communicate.

Luo Qianqian directly dragged Zhang Ye’s sleeve, running to the restroom area where it was quieter: ”What did Xiao Yu say?”

”She said a classmate brought her here for a birthday party, but the people inside didn’t seem right. She felt uneasy and slipped out to call me...” Zhang Ye paused for a moment, frowning: ”Should we check the private rooms?”

”Yes.” Luo Qianqian headed straight for the private rooms.

In the first room, there was a mix of men and women, each with a partner, but no sign of Wan Yu.

In the second room, the window was obscured by something, making it hard to see inside.

Searching room by room, surprisingly, only the second room was suspect.

Luo Qianqian’s face turned dark, and after pausing a moment, she asked Zhang Ye to order a fruit platter, then carried it over and knocked on the door before entering.

He Wenyu was kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face, despairingly watching the girl who brought her, kissing a red-haired man.

She had been brought over and only had enough money for a taxi fare back and forth.

They said she could leave, but she had to pay for the private room, or she would have to stay with Brother Duo for the night.

She couldn’t help but regret; if only she hadn’t been curious about this place, instead of obediently staying in the dorm, this wouldn’t have happened.

At this point, her only hope was for Zhang Ye to find her soon.

Seeing her phone thrown in the trash, her heart filled with sorrow; not everyone is as pure and sweet as they seem.

At this moment, a knock on the door was heard, and looking up, she saw a familiar yet strange face smiling with a fruit platter, walking in.

She immediately covered her mouth, Qianqian?! Why is Qianqian here?!

Seeing Zhang Ye flash quickly behind her, her expression changed, swiftly regaining her calm.

These two individuals could undoubtedly get her out safely without harm; now was the time for retribution.

”We’re delivering a fruit platter.” Luo Qianqian smiled, placing it on the table without a trace of panic on her face.

”Hey, are waitresses this young now? And dressed in sportswear?” the youths began to chatter noisily, the place originally loud enough.

”This waitress is pretty, come here, have a drink with me, Master.”

”Hey girl, how much for a night?”

Luo Qianqian kept smiling, looked at He Wenyu: ”Aren’t you going to come over?”

He Wenyu quickly stood up, ignoring the man beside her, darting to Luo Qianqian’s side and hugging her: ”Why are you here?”

”You’re going to get it later, playing the older sister card like this?” Luo Qianqian pulled her behind her, noticing her swollen face and messy hair, raised an eyebrow and asked the people in the room: ”Which one of you taught my sister a lesson?”

He Wenyu covered her face, feeling aggrieved, whispering: ”And my phone...”

She hadn’t fought back against those people, which got her beaten up like this, but seeing Luo Qianqian, she inexplicably felt confident.

She managed to rescue An Hao from the clutches of bad guys, handling these people shouldn’t be a problem for her!
