Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1003: Giving Gifts to the Family

Even Luo Qianqian had to admit, was her family too indulgent toward her?

Such a valuable gift, and they just returned it without any objections?

Objections? Of course, there were some, but after all, Luo Qianqian’s surname was Luo.

In the eyes of the An Family, Qhianqhian’s achievements today were entirely due to the backing of the Luo Family.

And this gift was also given in consideration of the Luo Family and Qhianqhian’s face.

They were not really related, so even if they didn’t get the gift, they wouldn’t complain.

When it came to such matters, they were rather open-minded.

”Qhianqhian, is Nine Heavens Pavilion really run by the Luo Family?” After dinner, An Zihua’s eyes sparkled with excitement. ”Can I go inside and take a look? Touch but not buy.”

Qhianqhian rubbed her nose, of course, they could.

”I forgot to mention, they said because the Spirit of Jade is quite valuable, they allowed me to choose five pieces of jewelry to gift out for free. So, grandma, mom, auntie, godmother, and one for the second aunt, it’s just perfect, and since we’ll be free tomorrow, let’s go check it out together.”

Feigning happiness, Qhianqhian squinted her eyes, ”Consider it as a birthday gift. Giving away someone else’s gift as a favor is what I’m best at.”

”Forget it,” Huang Yueran waved her hand repeatedly, ”I still don’t dare to wear the one you gave me last time.”

Looking at An Zilan’s neck, Yueran smiled wryly. She was not as carefree, knowing the value but still wearing it openly.

For An Zilan, the item, whether good or bad, was a gift from her daughter, a token of heart, not about the value.

An Zilan frowned slightly, worriedly looking at Qhianqhian, ”Better not, it might affect your standing with the Luo Family...”

”Mom, it really doesn’t matter to me. Rest assured, pick something you like, I don’t really know your taste.” Qhianqhian chuckled and patted An Zilan’s hand.

”Really, Qhianqhian?” An Zihua swallowed, ”Can we really choose?”

”Don’t worry, I’ll go along too, no awkward incidents will happen to auntie.” Qhianqhian playfully winked.

So that evening passed in a mix of excited women and exhausted men.

The next morning, Qhianqhian opened her eyes to see He Wenyu sitting at the bedside with an aggrieved expression, she quickly sat up: ”What’s wrong?”

”My mom called me early in the morning to tidy up, I’ve finished and you’re still sleeping, it’s just not fair...” He Wenyu said mournfully, looking helpless. It was a rare holiday, she had planned to sleep well, who knew her own mother would wake her up to tidy up, even helping make breakfast.

Yet, Qhianqhian was allowed to sleep more, proving absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?

During the time she left home, Qhianqhian was away longer...

”Oh... poor you.” Qhianqhian said calmly, ”Maybe because I’m short? Sleeping more might help me grow taller?”

Hearing the diverted topic, He Wenyu’s lips twitched. Although being short was a fact, using it as a pretext here was a bit too careless, wasn’t it?

”Alright, get up quickly, I went upstairs just now to deliver breakfast and saw your family already up.”

Upon hearing Wenyu’s words, Qhianqhian felt a twinge of helplessness.

Was it necessary? Were they really that excited?

After breakfast, everyone took the bus lively heading to the mall, given the Nine Heavens Pavilion opened early.

They bought a few clothes, all for Qhianqhian, then Qhianqhian led them to the Nine Heavens Pavilion.

She couldn’t take it anymore, it was practically her personal execution ground...

Fortunately, they arrived at Nine Heavens Pavilion at nine, though it opened at nine-thirty.

Both Tu Aige and Luo Xiying were there.

But having received the news early, Tu Aige stayed to entertain, while Luo Xinyue found it inconvenient to appear here.

The shop assistants hadn’t arrived yet, but since these were the boss’s family, there was nothing to worry about. Tu Aige could handle the reception alone.

Seeing everyone engrossed at the counter, Qhianqhian went upstairs to see Luo Xiying pacing back and forth excitedly, ”Uncle, what are you doing?”

”Qhianqhian, come quickly.” Seeing Qhianqhian coming up, Luo Xiying grabbed her excitedly, pulling her to a side table that had carving tools on it.

A crystal-clear purple jade was placed on the table, although it wasn’t glowing, it captured all of Qhianqhian’s attention, ”This is...”

”Spiritual Jade Spirit.” Luo Xiying said seriously while looking at Qhianqhian, ”I think the full name of the Spirit of Jade for sale should be Spirit of Life Jade, replenishing physical fitness, and revitalizing vitality.”

”So, this means...”

”Yes, I stayed awake all night, yet feel very energetic, and my attention is highly focused.” Luo Xiying’s expression carried a trace of awe, ”Qhianqhian, if this thing is used as an accessory for research personnel, it will certainly...”

At this point, Luo Xiying stopped talking.

Qhianqhian, however, already understood, nodding: ”Are you returning soon?”

”Yes, I have to go back tomorrow and will probably return after two days.” Luo Xiying nodded, puzzled but curious about what Qhianqhian intended to do.

”Fang Youyuan, hmm, go find the Fourth Brother, let him contact him, and bring him over.” Qhianqhian paused for a moment, ”This thing shouldn’t flow outside, so it’s safer to have a single carver.”

Luo Xiying nodded, showing high approval of Qhianqhian’s idea.

”Then I’ll put it away first.” Carefully enveloping the Spiritual Jade Spirit with her spiritual power and storing it in a ring, her mind was still awash in amazement.

If so, could there also be a Purple Spirit?

Thinking about this, Qhianqhian felt stars flying before her eyes.

”Qhianqhian, later I’ll give you a design, make a pair for me,” Luo Xiying said softly upon noticing Qhianqhian’s confusion.

Once she snapped back, Qhianqhian gazed directly at him, soon grinning with a mischievous look, ”Alright.”

”However...”

Extending a hand to Luo Xiying with a sly smile, ”Compensation.”

”Could I be short of you? I still have a set of Close Courtyard under my name, bought after I reached adulthood, I’ll transfer it to you later.” Luo Xiying rolled his eyes in mock annoyance.

”Great, I love how straightforward little uncle is.” Qhianqhian laughed heartily, listening attentively to the sounds from downstairs, ”Call me when you return, I’ll go down now.”

”Okay.” Luo Xiying calmly returned to his seat, practicing with jade of mediocre quality beside him.

Upon descending, the shop assistants began to arrive one by one, noticing the customers inside before opening, they dared not slack, even if their clothing wasn’t impressive.

There are few who could enter Nine Heavens Pavilion before opening and receive a personal reception from the boss.

Old Lady An picked a pair of mutton fat jade bangles, reserved as dowry for two future granddaughters-in-law.

An Zihua also chose a pair of bangles, fairness for his two daughters.

Huang Yueran and An Zilan selected according to their preferences, with such a daughter (or goddaughter) there was no need to worry about fairness in the future distribution among siblings.

Yueran chose a pair of red jade earrings, shaped as gourds.

An Zilan selected a jade hairpin from Nine Heavens Pavilion’s newly released Nirvana series.

For An Zihua, they selected a red jade pendant.

Quietly having Tu Aige bill everything under her account, Qhianqhian led her satisfied family home.

After sending off her family, Qhianqhian took Wenyu to the hotel to find Qin Nuan and Cong Rong.
