Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1925: Chapter 1905:

”Brother Jiayou, what are you talking about, what’s going on!” He Wenyu also spoke up, looking at Luo Yanhai who walked out of the room, immediately rushing over and grabbing him: ”Big Brother, what’s going on?”

Luo Yanhai looked at He Wenyu and sighed: ”It’s nothing, don’t overthink it, it’s really nothing, I promise...”

”How can you promise?” Qin Nuan came out, supporting her waist with a hoarse voice, her face flushed, but exhaustion was hard to hide, obviously tired too: ”Can you find a girlfriend for Jiayou right now? Do you think this is like picking cabbage? Three days... just three days, where are we going to find one?”

”Isn’t there still Cong Ying? That girl has always liked Jiayou, hasn’t she?” Luo Yanhai frowned and said: ”I’ll go out and find her in a while!”

”Can a heart that’s been hurt be mended?” Qin Nuan’s voice carried melancholy: ”Disappointment accumulates bit by bit, not suddenly.”

Luo Yanran, full of energy and lively, hugged Qin Nuan: ”Why not sleep a bit more?” Then looked at the people in the yard: ”Actually, with the strength of our Forget Worries Tea House, there should be people willing to make a small sacrifice...”

”No need, I’ve already seen it through, life and death are fate.” Lin Jiayou pulled at the corner of his mouth, just for one night, yet stubble had grown out, making him appear particularly weather-beaten, with bloodshot eyes: ”From now on, I’ll leave Nianan in your hands...”

”What nonsense are you talking about! I’m going out to find someone for you right now!” Luo Yanhai put on his clothes decisively, ignoring the protests, and left without hesitation.

”I’ll go too!” Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu also went out.

Meanwhile, Qin Nuan felt ’unwell’ and needed someone to take care of Tantan and Nianan, Luo Yanran went to cook, and for a moment, the yard fell silent...

Outside the doors of Forget Worries Tea House, Luo Yanhai was waiting not far ahead, with a familiar figure by his side, it was Zhang Sheng.

”What do we do now?” Luo Yanhai looked at the two with natural ease and asked, after all, weren’t the planners of this matter right in front of him, these two little girls?

Zhang Sheng was curious too, originally just out for a stroll, ’by chance’ passing by Forget Worries Tea House hoping to ’accidentally’ bump into He Wenyu.

But before he walked much farther, he saw Luo Yanhai run out, who also unceremoniously dragged him along.

He looked at He Wenyu with utmost tenderness.

Luo Qianqian chuckled: ”Originally thought if Big Brother went, he’d just be doubted again someday, but now there’s a way.”

He Wenyu also nodded, smirking wickedly at Zhang Sheng, clearly aware of what Luo Qianqian was plotting.

Zhang Sheng inexplicably felt a shiver run down his spine...

”...So, I’m supposed to intentionally ’run into’ and describe Lin Jiayou’s dire situation?” Zhang Sheng listened to the two and said in realization.

”Right now... feels a bit fake, wait until tonight.” He Wenyu said, not caring about Lin Jiayou who was enduring emotional torment, nor about Cong Ying who was curious why Lin Jiayou hadn’t shown up yet.

Indeed, even if Lin Jiayou was deliberately ignored, as long as he was around, everyone was reassured. But before finding Lin Jiayou’s presence, there was some inevitable unease.

With the passing of day and night, Luo Yanhai had ’dejectedly’ returned to Forget Worries Tea House, saying nothing.

Meanwhile, Zhang Sheng appeared on the roof of Cong Ying’s room, lacking any artistic talent... he opted to whistle to grab attention from those down below.

And Cong Ying was indeed drawn to her window by his means of notifying.

”Is it you?” Seeing Zhang Sheng, Cong Ying had some recognition. After all, hadn’t he been to Forget Worries Tea House before?

”Yes.” Zhang Sheng nodded gently at the moon.

”What are you here for?” Cong Ying was certain that this person wouldn’t be on her roof aimlessly gazing at the moon.

”Lin Jiayou is dying, he’s entrusted his child to Shiliu and Shiqi, did you know?” Zhang Sheng looked at the moon, standing without bowing, his voice carrying a chilly undertone: ”Shiliu and Shiqi are unmarried young girls!” Clearly resentful, it showed his discontent in ’accepting’ this child, hence seeking an explanation.

”He’s dying? How’s that possible?” Cong Ying was startled but quickly reacted and refuted his words.

”Ha, lost his Original Yang, without a woman, three days later, he’ll die. Others are fine today, all that’s left of his time is just tomorrow.” With that, he rose and said: ”Actually, I don’t want to meddle in these affairs, but I don’t want Shiliu and Shiqi to have to become substitute mothers at a young age.” After speaking, he departed gracefully, leaving no trace, only Cong Ying standing at the window, in a daze, staring at where Zhang Sheng just sat.

After Zhang Sheng left, he felt relieved, at least he said everything he intended, otherwise, he really feared watching Cong Ying cry...

Cong Ying turned over repeatedly at the window, Lin Jiayou indeed hadn’t appeared all day, but she couldn’t entirely trust the words, she decided to check tomorrow, asking around should yield some information.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Sheng’s few words kept her up all night...

Each time she closed her eyes, Zhang Sheng’s words replayed, until dawn broke, she hadn’t slept...

And upon rising, she was hesitant whether to go and see, after all, in broad daylight, it was somewhat conspicuous...

As she headed downstairs, she saw Luo Yanhai anxiously inquiring with the shopkeeper about her whereabouts.

And naturally, the shopkeeper wouldn’t divulge anything, watched Luo Yanhai leave, continued inquiring about her, it was a bit odd.

Could it be Shiliu and Shiqi are unaware? Aren’t they always aware of her location?

Disregarding others’ judgment, she headed back upstairs, from the roof.

Lying atop Forget Worries Tea House’s roof, watching two children playing closely together and Lin Jiayou sitting under the tree, she felt momentarily lost.

Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran sensed someone coming, also looked worriedly towards Lin Jiayou, but neither spoke, merely sighed.

This left Cong Ying unable to obtain the information she wanted, driving her a bit crazy.

But she couldn’t voice her thoughts...

”Fourth Sister-in-Law! There’s an auction later, Shiliu and I are going to buy a person for Brother Jiayou, I can’t let Nianan go without a dad!” Luo Qianqian hugged a large bundle of things: ”Generally, what’s auctioned is pretty, Brother Jiayou should like it.”

”Don’t bother, your futile efforts are no faster than grave-digging.” Qin Nuan sighed: ”Moreover, this ’Love Poison’ requires mutual affection, where would you find that? If either your Fourth Brother or I had a divided heart, we couldn’t be standing here now.”
