Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1536: Chapter 1516: Tagalong

”Eat more, don’t just eat rice, don’t be too polite, you have to fight for food with them, otherwise you won’t even get soup.” Qhianqhian earnestly instructed the beauty. After all, Yan had already checked, and from a physical standpoint, she was normal, just a little weak.

”Eat meat, child.” Qhianqhian placed another piece of meat in the beauty’s bowl, looked at everyone’s gaze, and silently served everyone some vegetables.

Luo Shufan looked at the meat in his bowl and sighed, ”I never thought this day would come! I’m very gratified as your brother.”

...Hehe.

Qhianqhian gave Luo Shufan a smile.

He Wenyu looked at the ginger posing as meat in her bowl and also sighed, ”Don’t sweat the small stuff, the most important thing in life is to be content.”

...Hehe.

Qhianqhian gave He Wenyu a smile as well.

”Well said!” Luo Yanhai replied, poking around his bowl with his chopsticks, ”At least your food has some relation to meat. What about mine? Just a green vegetable without even a bit of minced meat.”

...Hehe.

Qhianqhian still responded with a smile.

”Actually, chicken legs are great,” Yue Tingyu was quite content.

”Actually, I love chicken wings,” Old Master Luo was also very satisfied.

”Delicious, the cooking is good, the intention behind serving is good, it’s really tasty.” Luo Xisi spared no effort in her praise, giving a big thumbs up.

”Compared to pure meat, I prefer this mix of meat and veg, it’s very good and healthy.” Luo Xihan nodded repeatedly, ignoring the complaints of her nephew.

Qhianqhian smiled sincerely, revealing her little tiger teeth.

”Ahem...uh, let’s eat,” Yang Feng was about to express his lack of food when he saw Qhianqhian glaring at him and silently closed his mouth. Wang Mazi and his companions had no chance to speak either.

”Knock knock knock”

As everyone was happily enjoying dinner, an ill-timed knocking sound suddenly came from the door.

Several strands of spiritual power instinctively rushed towards the door.

Qhianqhian looked at Luo Shufan in confusion and blinked her eyes, ”It’s a man, I don’t know him.”

”A man? I don’t know him either...” Luo Shufan looked puzzled; even if it was a woman, she wouldn’t be looking for him. He was quite reassured.

He Wenyu slightly frowned, ”I have a bad feeling.”

At this moment, Luo Yanhai had already opened the door, exposing the person outside to everyone. He Wenyu suddenly smacked her forehead. She knew it...

The visitor was Du Lanming.

”Mr. Shiyi.” Upon seeing Luo Yanhai, Du Lanming instinctively saluted. There were some items piled at the door, and it was hard to tell what was going on.

”Uh, what is it?” Luo Yanhai looked calmly at Du Lanming, showing no intention of inviting him into the courtyard.

After all, He Wenyu didn’t seem inclined to stand up, and it wasn’t necessary to go out and welcome the son of a scholar.

”We are extremely sorry about this afternoon’s incident. If not for Miss Shiliu’s thoughtful considerations, fake news might have spread and harmed your reputation. We truly apologize; these are our sentiments from the Du Residence. We hope you will accept them.” Du Lanming crossed his hands over his chest, leaned forward, and bowed, lowering his stance to show Du Residence’s attitude. ”My father has already sent Du Yulan to the villa for recuperation. We hope you won’t have any misunderstandings with Du Residence because of this matter.”

Luo Yanhai looked completely puzzled. Without this incident, would their relationship have been good? If it weren’t for the private interactions between Du Yuwei and He Wenyu, and the family’s hope that He Wenyu would gain more experience, how would they agree to go to such a place? However, they did gain something; they were at least satisfied with that piece of meteorite iron.

Clearing his throat twice: ”No need to worry, Brother Du is overthinking.”

He really didn’t know what to say after all; he absolutely didn’t want to be involved in any scandal with such a woman. Even if such rumors spread, he wouldn’t marry her due to pressure.

What a joke; would he entrust his lifelong happiness to such a woman? Not a chance.

”This is a gift from my sister for Miss Shiliu, and I hope she will accept it.” Du Lanming handed a box to Luo Yanhai.

Luo Yanhai hesitated whether to accept it, but soon He Wenyu came over, pushed the box back, and said calmly, ”No need for such courtesy, take everything back. We lack nothing here, and accepting them would only be a burden. Thank you, but if there’s nothing else, please leave.”

After saying this, she gracefully returned to her seat, flashed a thumbs-up at Qhianqhian, and raised her eyebrows with a smile.

After Luo Yanhai closed the door and returned, Luo Shufan slightly shook his head and sighed, ”Brother, can’t you even reject as well as Miss Shiliu?”

”They came for Miss Shiliu; how could I make decisions?” Luo Yanhai rolled his eyes, looking towards the door. ”However, that Du Lanming definitely has no good intentions towards Miss Shiliu.”

”Harboring malicious intent.”

”Intent to violate.”

”A toad lusting after a swan’s meat.”

Luo Shufan, Bai Yizhu, and Qhianqhian spoke simultaneously, exchanging smiles.

He Wenyu pouted, ”I will definitely avoid such occasions in the future!”

”This shows you’re popular,” Qhianqhian smiled and winked at He Wenyu. ”Brother doesn’t even have such luck.”

At this, Luo Xisi rolled her eyes, ”Right, how did it go with that girl you went to see?”

”Now they’re trying to use rumors to pressure me into marrying. Dad, do you want such a daughter-in-law? I don’t, I only want someone I like, with whom I can spend a lifetime without scheming,” Luo Yanhai sighed and feigned sentimentality, ”If I can’t find it, being single isn’t so bad. My future partner doesn’t need to be exceptional, but must have good morals and be kind-hearted, that’s all.”

”It sounds like you’re talking about me,” Qhianqhian pouted, ”Besides being lazy and gluttonous, I think I have good morals and am quite kind?”

”Bro, please, don’t find someone like that, it would be like looking for a living ancestor for yourself!” Luo Shufan shook his head speechlessly, causing everyone in the courtyard to burst out laughing. Qhianqhian initially had a straight face but soon couldn’t hold it in and joined in the laughter.

”Aren’t you already a little ancestor now?” Luo Yanhai laughed heartily and looked much more relaxed. ”Anyway, there’s no precedent for forced marriage in our family, so we brothers can take our time finding partners, no rush.”

...

When it was time for bed, there came some trouble. The beauty only followed Qhianqhian. Although Qhianqhian was indeed a girl and they shared a room, every trip to the bathroom would wake the beauty from her sleep, anxiously waiting until Qhianqhian returned so she could fall back asleep, and who else?

He Wenyu looked at this helplessly.

Perhaps there really is a bond between people? Otherwise, why would beauty, whom she met first, not depend on her as much?
