Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1059: Chapter 1039: Du Siyu’s Death

After leaving the space, the two people didn’t mention the space matters at all, but they were pleased with the cleansing potion that Luo Qianqian gave to her son and daughter-in-law.

”Our Xiao Qianqian is truly the pride of the Luo Family.” Old Master Luo patted Luo Qianqian’s shoulder, holding a dozen apples brought out from the space, intending to let Yue Tingyu taste them, but regarding the space matter, his advice was not to mention it to anyone unless in a critical situation.

Luo Qianqian actually thought the same, as everyone knows the saying ”treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime”.

”Why are you still locking the door?” Yue Tingyu knocked on the door until it finally opened, and with a frown, she saw a pile of bright red apples on the bed, looked around: ”Who came? Nobody invited them to sit?”

”Uh... wasn’t it because Qianqian’s god-sister came? Then she hurried back home to visit relatives, so she left.” Luo Xiying quickly reacted, thinking of He Wenyu with the ephedrine mention.

Luo Qianqian twitched her mouth, He Wenyu wouldn’t leave with a bunch of apples without bags, would she?

”Then why is there not even any packaging? Just leaving them on the bed like this? Hospital beds aren’t clean...” Whether they’ve been washed or not, Yue Tingyu was still very concerned.

After all, whenever preparing food for Luo Qianqian, she’d wash everything several times quite carefully.

Old Master Luo had an awkward expression since apples freshly picked can’t really have packaging, can they?

Luo Qianqian shrugged and cheerfully pulled out a... dagger.

”Grandma, Uncle gave me a fruit knife.”

Yue Tingyu stared at the dagger wide-eyed, wishing she could kill her younger son with her gaze, she snatched the dagger: ”This thing is dangerous, don’t play with it.”

Luo Xiying touched his nose feeling wronged; he couldn’t react fast enough, Luo Qianqian had already taken out a dagger, what could he do? He could only silently take the blame...

Even though she knew her granddaughter has faced many dangers before, Yue Tingyu still chose to pamper Luo Qianqian as if she were a sheltered flower under her eyes.

Old Master Luo also conveniently took the dagger: ”Be careful too.” His concerned gaze fell on Yue Tingyu.

Yue Tingyu nodded, picking up an apple with interest: ”This apple probably isn’t cheap, you can smell its sweet fragrance, it looks good, it’s rare to see such ones on the market.”

On the market, there simply aren’t any...

The three of them all silently thought.

”Grandma, you take these and eat, Xiao Yu said she’d bring more when she visits tonight, afraid they’d go bad by tomorrow, she didn’t know how many people came here, so she brought...” Luo Qianqian lowered her head and counted on the bed: ”Thirteen... fourteen.” Almost overlooked the one in Yue Tingyu’s hand.

Yue Tingyu nodded, though she still furrowed her brow: ”At night? Should I accompany you, won’t you be afraid alone?”

”Grandma, if something happens while you’re watching over me, I’d be heartbroken, even if it’s just dark circles under your eyes, I wouldn’t like that...” Luo Qianqian seriously said.

Yue Tingyu helplessly nodded.

After watching Luo Qianqian finish her porridge and side dishes, Old Master Luo left with Yue Tingyu.

Luo Qianqian looked at Luo Xiying and Bai Yixian: ”So, isn’t Uncle seeing them off?”

”Your Fourth Brother is there, there’s no need for me to worry.” Luo Xiying quietly sat on a chair: ”Give me one.”

Luo Qianqian twitched at the corner of her mouth, she had just asked the nurse for a plastic bag to pack away the apples, there were none left in the ward, persuaded by Old Master Luo, Yue Tingyu took them away after a round of rock-paper-scissors...

Saying that, Qianqian’s god-sister’s family plants fruit trees...

He Wenyu: How come I didn’t know?

Luo Qianqian disappeared for a moment, then reappeared in the room with two apples in her hands, tossing them to the two of them.

Though Bai Yixian was a bit surprised, he wasn’t particularly astonished.

Given the previous disappearing occurrences in the ward, connecting the dots would suggest a hint.

He bit into the apple, his eyes contentedly squinting: ”When I visit your house, get me two crates of these.” The taste was sweet and crisp, incredibly delicious, simply the best apple he’s eaten.

”Okay.” Luo Qianqian nodded, noticing Luo Xiying frowning, she couldn’t help but feel curious: ”Uncle? What’s wrong?”

”These seeds...” The fruit differs from those on the market, so what about the seeds?

Luo Qianqian froze in place; even the smallest error might reveal the existence of the space.

Luo Xiying had already called a friend to test the apple seeds he took out.

Bai Yixian was speechless, turning to Luo Qianqian: ”This holiday, is it all busy times?”

”Being busy doesn’t mean I’ll forget about New Year’s money.” Luo Qianqian chuckled, extending her soft little hand toward Bai Yixian.

Bai Yixian twitched his mouth, pulling out a red envelope from his coat, grateful he hadn’t forgotten about this and was prepared.

At night, Luo Xiying didn’t return, Luo Qianqian had already changed clothes, wrapping herself tightly except for her eyes and nose, sitting behind Bai Yixian, as the motorcycle sped along the empty road, rarely passing a car roaring by.

”Are you sure it’s here?” Bai Yixian’s face was filled with skepticism looking at the wide-open square in front of them.

Luo Qianqian nodded, Du Siyu had indeed said so.

The two of them hid inside a 24-hour always open coffee shop and bar, watching the street across.

After who knows how long, they saw a girl dressed all in red, ignoring the cold weather, wearing a long red evening gown, her smooth jade back seemed very fragile in the chilly wind.

Her eyes looked toward the coffee shop, from that far distance, Luo Qianqian could see a contented smile on her face, her lips mouthing the words: Thank you.

Luo Qianqian didn’t move, just continued watching in her direction.

He also withdrew his gaze, shortly spotting a nurse-like person pushing a wheelchair to Du Siyu. In the wheelchair sat a figure entirely wrapped in black clothing, obscuring their gender and any physical traits, the only visible feature was a white scarf blowing in the wind.

In the next moment, something unknown happened, and Du Siyu collapsed, while the two passed by her, vanishing instantly.

Luo Qianqian hastily pushed open the door, rushing towards where Du Siyu fell.

Seeing blood had already dyed the entire ground... and the wound on the girl’s body still didn’t stop bleeding.

She was critically weak, but not gone entirely.

”Th-thank you...” Du Siyu smiled at Luo Qianqian, feebly lifting her fist: ”Luo Qianqian, I really... regret not meeting you... sooner.”

With a smile on her face, her eyes lost their light, and her fist fell from mid-air.

Luo Qianqian embraced Du Siyu tightly, her face filled with tears.

If it were a normal fatal wound, she might have returned, but her spirit was exhausted...

Even if saved, she’d be left in a vegetative state, not to mention, the wound was near the heart...
