Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1157: King of the Ghost Eyes 1

”Are you referring to before all the flowers bloomed?” He Wenyu looked as if lost in thought.

Qhianqhian clearly saw the veins on He Jun’s forehead pulsating intensely, as well as his tightly clenched fists...

She couldn’t help but worry for Xiao Yu, wondering if she’d made things difficult for her. Had she known, she wouldn’t have asked Wang Yi such a question.

He Wenyu lowered her head, recalling that she met Zhao Wenxuan in junior high school, and before meeting him, it was said... elementary school? How was that possible? They were together for three years during elementary school. More importantly, at that time, what did they know about love?

Wait, saying that means she shouldn’t have understood it in junior high either.

Then why would she have a falling-out with Qhianqhian over a boy? It just doesn’t make any sense. It’s utterly unreasonable.

Apologetically, she turned to Qhianqhian: ”Qhianqhian, I’m sorry.”

”Hmm?” Qhianqhian looked at her puzzledly, seeing the guilt in her eyes and intuitively grasping why she was apologizing. With a slight smile and a gentle shake of her head, she said, ”It’s okay.”

Compared to those awkward times, it’s far better that they’re all doing well now.

”Godfather, your look will scare our An Hao,” Qhianqhian said softly, observing He Jun’s expression.

Though she knew An Hao wouldn’t be scared, she was still helping Xiao Yu out.

He Wenyu finally thought of her father’s issue and glanced over timidly.

Huang Yueran snorted, looking at Qhianqhian, ”Qhianqhian, next time Xiao Yu does something silly, tell Godmother, and I’ll stand up for you.”

Our goddaughter is so good! Back then, our silly daughter had a falling-out with her over someone?

It’s so unreasonable. At the time, the truth wasn’t known. Yet knowing the truth, Qhianqhian didn’t even think about complaining. Thinking about it makes her angry; this silly girl...

”Mom, why say that about me? I’m fine, I’m not silly, so why do silly things?” He Wenyu wrinkled her nose, holding onto Qhianqhian’s arm, ”I’m Qhianqhian’s sister, don’t ruin our relationship.”

Huang Yueran rolled her eyes speechlessly, ”Now you know you’re a sister? Why didn’t you remember earlier?”

Luo Xihan’s gaze was on Wang Yi, silently hesitating for a moment before looking at Qhianqhian.

Qhianqhian shrugged, ”What’s your intention?”

Wang Yi shouldn’t be here, she was quite sure.

Wang Yi stared directly at Qhianqhian’s eyes, ”Because of you.”

”Me?” Qhianqhian was taken aback. Although she’d expected this answer, she couldn’t help but be puzzled.

”Yes,” Wang Yi looked at her, ”You carry an aura that doesn’t belong to this world.”

Qhianqhian stiffened, not to mention everyone was somewhat grave in the office except the composed Tang Tianyi and the unaware An Hao.

Qhianqhian then twitched her cheek, ”Are you implying I’m already dead?”

”You understand what I mean.” Wang Yi’s expression was calm, ”I have matters to attend to, so I’ll leave now. Feel free to contact me if necessary.”

He left a simple, green card, starkly different from the golden, shiny business card.

Watching Wang Yi leave, Qhianqhian frowned and picked up the small card.

The card had no writing, yet Qhianqhian’s expression was exceedingly peculiar.

Tang Tianyi walked over to Qhianqhian, also looking at the card. Not noticing anything amiss, upon touching, he detected something unusual.

This card wasn’t made of paper but jade.

Though it couldn’t compare with the Green Spirit, holding it still instilled a charged exhilaration.

”What is this?” Qhianqhian looked at Tang Tianyi with confusion.

Tang Tianyi examined it thoroughly, and gently shook his head, not understanding the material nor knowing how to contact Wang Yi.

Qhianqhian furrowed her brow and stored it in her ring, ”Whatever, let’s have some fun for now?”

”Where’s Aunt?” Tang Tianyi looked at Qhianqhian’s side, somewhat puzzled.

”My mom went to pick up my grandmother and the rest. I’m responsible for taking care of my brother.” She gestured towards An Hao on the side, her face full of tenderness.

Tang Tianyi’s eyes showed a hint of warmth too, he teased An Hao, who freely showed his smile.

”Qhianqhian, aren’t you supposed to consider another matter now?” He Wenyu suddenly asked.

”What?” Qhianqhian looked puzzled at He Wenyu who was holding An Hao.

He Wenyu pouted, ”Though An Hao is young, you can’t just let me hold him all the time?” Previously, he’d only been placed on the table briefly before being picked up when someone arrived for fear he’d fall.

Qhianqhian awkwardly withdrew her hand from teasing the child, looking at Lin Jiayou aside, and pouted, ”Brother Jiayou, can you hold him?”

Lin Jiayou speechlessly reached to accept An Hao, but as soon as he was in his arms, the little brother started crying aloud.

As if he were in human traffickers’ hands, his tiny hands continually stretched towards Qhianqhian’s direction.

With a screech, his eyes turned bloodshot at an alarming speed.

”What’s happening?” Lin Jiayou’s face was filled with panic, anxiously shifting An Hao’s position.

Bai Yizhu coolly explained from the side, ”He prefers his sister; if his sister doesn’t hold him, reluctantly, he might choose Sister Xiao Yu, because she’s also soft. Suddenly, you, this rugged guy, appears—it’s too much contrast for him to accept.”

”Who’s rugged? Who’s rugged?”

Lin Jiayou’s face was written all over with devastation. Is this really his biological brother? Why is he so dissatisfied when held?

Even Tang Tianyi got a smile from this little guy, didn’t he?

Instantly, he put on a stern face, ”An Hao, be good, or I’ll spank you!”

The aggressive demeanor left Qhianqhian speechless.

An Hao truly stopped crying, but in the next moment, he struggled more violently. His louder crying was deafening...

Lin Jiayou felt helpless too, wanting to cry, ”Troublesome kid, why are children the scariest!”

”An Hao, sister will give you something delicious, stop crying.” She pulled a pot and meat from her ring, looking at him helplessly, ”Tianyi, please.”

Tang Tianyi naturally took out an induction cooker and plugged it in.

Observing their actions, Luo Xihan was speechless thinking they must have done this often.

However, soon everyone was drawn to the enticing aroma filling the room. He Wenyu had tasted it yesterday but only took one piece since she was full. Now hungry, she swallowed desperately.

Qhianqhian sat on the ground naturally, extending her hands towards Lin Jiayou, ”Brother Jiayou, hand An Hao to me.”

An Hao immediately struggled to reach Qhianqhian, and Lin Jiayou, feeling helpless, passed An Hao to her and placed him in her lap.

Like a face transformation, the dark clouds dissipated, and sunny skies appeared...

Observing the bright smile on An Hao’s face, Lin Jiayou couldn’t help but glance at his reflection in the office’s glass, putting his hand on his cheek, ”Am I really that scary?”

”I don’t know if you’re scary, but you sure aren’t better looking than Qhianqhian,” Bai Yizhu commented relaxedly from the side.

Lin Jiayou shrugged, knowing that being a man, he didn’t need to look good.

”Brother Jiayou, there’s still a pot, you and Brother Zhuzi should help. Otherwise, only An Hao gets to eat.” Qhianqhian teased An Hao, speaking calmly.

”Do we get some too? I’m coming.” Lin Jiayou immediately joined Tang Tianyi’s side, reaching out, ”Tianyi, let me.”

Tang Tianyi naturally fetched another induction cooker and pot; such things were on hand, along with meat.

”Qhianqhian, what kind of meat is this?” Huang Yueran squatted beside Qhianqhian, ”It doesn’t smell like pork or beef or lamb...”

”Uh... wolf meat,” Qhianqhian softly said, touching her nose tip.

”Ah, wolf meat.” Huang Yueran showed realization but was shocked momentarily after, ”What, what meat????”

”Wolf meat,” He Wenyu repeated helplessly, confirming the reality for her mother.
