Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1004: Voices Outside the Room

Qin Nuan was already getting a bit impatient when she saw Luo Qianqian finally arrive, pouting as she pulled her into the room, pressing her whole body from behind onto Luo Qianqian’s shoulders.

”Why are you only getting here now? I’m so hungry my stomach’s gone flat.” Qin Nuan looked aggrieved: ”I accepted having breakfast at the hotel, but now it’s noon, and you finally graced us with your presence.” Luo Qianqian lifted her wrist, looking at the time, the hour hand pointed between ten and eleven, while the minute hand pointed at eight, and she twitched her mouth.

Ten forty, and you’re calling it noon? Isn’t this the kind of conversation an oversleeping kid has with their mom??

”Alright, my bad, okay?” Luo Qianqian resignedly ignored the actual time: ”Let’s go, I’ll take you guys to some good eats. How did you sleep last night?”

”Speaking of which...” Qin Nuan frowned slightly upon hearing Luo Qianqian’s question: ”Last night, I kept hearing strange noises by the door, but since it’s a hotel, I didn’t dare to open it randomly.”

”Strange noises?” Luo Qianqian was dumbfounded; she was just idly curious, but there really was an issue?

”Did you bring a laptop?” Luo Qianqian furrowed her brow, her face full of seriousness.

Qin Nuan wasn’t someone prone to random jitters; they all understood that.

And Cong Rong’s expression clearly showed that she had noticed it too but doubted herself, hence didn’t mention it. Now hearing Qin Nuan’s account, her face showed shock without a hint of doubt, which further proved the issue.

Qin Nuan took out a laptop, and Luo Qianqian skillfully pulled up the hotel’s surveillance footage, leaving He Wenyu only with admiration for Luo Qianqian’s capability.

Is this how awesome you’ve become now that you’re in college?

Not quite...

When they saw the shadow outside the room, lingering near the door, Qin Nuan’s face turned green.

What’s up with this hotel?

Is no one monitoring the surveillance? Why hasn’t anyone come to chase away such an obvious miscreant?

Most crucially, why did he linger outside for so long without intending to open the door?

In the end, he actually entered the room opposite them, using a key card? What was going on?

Luo Qianqian frowned, ”Why don’t you guys come home with me; it seems like someone is watching me.” Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, her face filled with seriousness.

Indeed, to others, the Spirit of Jade appears as a vast fortune?

Otherwise, would it be to this extent? They’re even watching her friends?

”Qhianqhian, I think I’ve seen this person before.” He Wenyu suddenly chimed in, frowning tightly: ”This person is... a friend of Zhao Wenxuan.”

”What?” Luo Qianqian twitched her mouth, how dramatic does it have to be?

Back then, she and Tang Tianyi once saw Zhao Wenxuan trailing her mom and An Hao.

Now it’s Zhao Wenxuan’s friend tailing Qin Nuan?

The only common point between these two groups is Luo Qianqian; they are both related to her.

Luo Qianqian was silent for a moment: ”Are you sure?”

He Wenyu leaned closer to the screen, meticulously shifting the footage from various angles, confirming before nodding: ”I’m sure I’ve seen him, more than once.”

”Who’s behind Zhao Wenxuan?” Luo Qianqian furrowed her brows, her face full of gravity, mentioning the events she and Tang Tianyi had witnessed.

If they’re coming after Nine Heavens Pavilion, finding someone slightly related to her is quite a rare occurrence, considering Zhao Wenxuan never had deep contact with Luo Qianqian.

From the start, Luo Qianqian openly displayed animosity towards this person.

”If they’re after you, can’t they just directly look for Xiao Yu?” Qin Nuan frowned, confused.

He Wenyu scratched his nose: ”I haven’t contacted him for a long time.”

Hearing He Wenyu’s response, Luo Qianqian smiled broadly, exactly, staying away from scum is the way to a better future, climbing to the pinnacle of life.

If you trust a scumbag’s words, then pigs will be climbing trees together!

”If he contacts you, keep your distance, if necessary, call the police, don’t let yourself get entangled with someone like that,” Luo Qianqian said righteously.

To someone from a past life who knows Zhao Wenxuan even better than He Wenyu herself, having interacted more in this life, Luo Qianqian absolutely wasn’t lying to He Wenyu.

Even if Zhao Wenxuan has changed, his mother certainly hasn’t!

A woman whose morals are askew and loves to take advantages, how could Luo Qianqian trust that a son raised by such a person could bring happiness to Xiao Yu?

Getting involved with such a family is a disgrace to He Wenyu’s future life!

”I know.” He Wenyu had no doubt about what Luo Qianqian said, especially with these past two years in high school, she has seen plenty of deceit and intrigue.

She couldn’t understand, how can high school students have so much drama?

Best friends can easily become strangers opposing each other over trivial matters.

Friends can become estranged over a man.

Thinking of Luo Qianqian, He Wenyu just felt that perhaps no one would be like her, teaching her so much from studies to life.

Even explaining a problem in the most confusing way possible.

”Qhianqhian.” He Wenyu suddenly hugged Luo Qianqian, who was sitting on the chair, rubbing her face against hers: ”I won’t fall out with you over anyone.”

Luo Qianqian was taken aback for a moment, her stern expression softening instantly, her hands grabbing the arms crossed over her chest gently saying, ”Really? That would make me very happy.”

Qin Nuan looked at the two, just about to say something, when she heard a familiar noise.

Then, unlike before, there was a knock at the door...

Luo Qianqian instinctively switched the surveillance to a live feed.

Seeing the person at the door, she was very surprised, it was obviously Zhao Wenxuan...

Four pairs of eyes watched him stuff an envelope under the door, quickly heading into the room opposite.

They heard a familiar door closing sound.

Raising an eyebrow, Luo Qianqian looked towards the door with some suspicion.

Qin Nuan walked over, picked up the envelope, looked at the name on it, and said, ”It’s for Qhianqhian.” She went back and handed the white hotel envelope to Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow, calmly opening it, since she had surveillance footage here, she’s not afraid of what they might do.

This afternoon at half-past three, Apollo Cafe, Table 3, something to discuss about Nine Heavens Pavilion.

It was just a short line, and Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes: ”Are they mental?”

”It’s not his handwriting,” He Wenyu glanced at it and said.

Her expression was indescribable, unclear whether she was relieved or saddened.

”Shall we go take a look then?” As one of the owners of Nine Heavens Pavilion, Qin Nuan rolled her eyes, besides this branch, they only opened here because Luo Qianqian had business, so she’s not really aware of any ties this city might have with Nine Heavens Pavilion.

As far as she knows, the first thing Luo Qianqian did when opening a store was to purchase the place, otherwise, it’d be an unstable factor in the future.

And since Luo Qianqian is still young, to avoid suspicion of her connections to Nine Heavens Pavilion, it wouldn’t be under her name.

Moreover, during opening ceremonies and such, Luo Qianqian wouldn’t make a public appearance.

Nor would she let people believe there’s any association between them, right?
