Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1212 - 722-724: Triple-Length Mega - 6

”Okay.” Pan Fangfang choked on her words, ”Qingqing, you need to be strong. At times like this, your mom needs you and your brother to be with her at home.”

”I know.” Lu Qingqing wiped her tears hard, took a deep breath, ”In the future, it will be up to me and my brother to take care of the family. Dad...”

”Lu Qingqing, your brother is waiting downstairs, he’s urging you to hurry down.” A girl next door hurriedly ran over.

”I got it.”

”Qingqing, take care. We’ll help you take notes.”

”Qingqing, take this money, I don’t have much else, I hope this can help you.”

”Qingqing, this is from me.”

”...”

That’s human emotions for you, normally, there might be jealousy or dislike, but at this moment, everyone set aside their prejudices, only thinking about how they could help each other to the best of their ability.

”Thank you, sisters!” Lu Qingqing waved her hand to refuse, ”Your comfort, your care is enough for me, I have enough money.” She bowed deeply and turned to run downstairs.

The group wanted to follow but Pan Fangfang stopped them: ”Too much sympathy at times like this will only make her sadder, having her brother and Wen Su is enough.”

Downstairs, Lu Dongdong looked at his sister with a pained expression as she wiped her tears while walking over. He stepped forward to embrace her: ”Be strong.”

”Brother, do you think this is real?” Lu Qingqing looked at her brother through tearful eyes, ”Our dear dad, is he really gone like this?”

”Qingqing.” Lu Dongdong called softly, not knowing what to say, he didn’t want to accept this reality either. When the call came, he was stunned for a long time, he didn’t cry, only because he’s a man!

Seeing his sister looking around, Lu Dongdong dragged her forward: ”Wen Su went to help us get tickets, there’s a flight to Ludong in forty-five minutes, he was worried we couldn’t complete the procedures in time, so he went ahead.”

”Brother.” Lu Qingqing wiped her tears, ”I’m sorry.”

Lu Dongdong patted his sister’s head: ”What are you sorry for? Silly girl.”

”At a time like this, I still want to find him, am I being unfilial?”

”It’s human nature, if at a time like this you can think of him, it means you genuinely like him.” Lu Dongdong sighed, ”Dad is already gone, no matter how much we cry or feel sad, he won’t come back. Now all we can do is go home, take care of the aftermath, and give Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom the confidence to carry on.”

”Yes, I understand.” Lu Qingqing hesitated, ”Brother, I want to drop out of school.”

Lu Dongdong glared at his sister: ”What nonsense are you talking?”

”I’m afraid Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom can’t hold up, I want to go home and take care of them.” Lu Qingqing sighed heavily, ”I do like Wen Su, but given our family’s situation now, I don’t want to burden him.”

”Qingqing...”

”Brother, actually, I was just looking for him everywhere, hoping I could see him one last time before leaving. As for the future, it will just have to wait.”

Lu Dongdong pulled his sister closer: ”The two of us need to stay united to get through this difficult time, we’ll discuss everything else later.”

”Yes, I’ll listen to you, brother.” Lu Qingqing nodded, ”Indeed, people’s intuition is often right. A few days ago, I kept feeling uneasy. Brother, do you think Dad might have been killed?”

”Let’s figure it out when we get home, if...” Lu Dongdong’s eyes flashed with coldness, ”If it really was that beast Zan Wenxing behind it, I’ll risk everything to take him down!”

”Brother.” Lu Qingqing tugged on her brother’s sleeve, ”Even if we seek revenge, we shouldn’t sacrifice ourselves. His life isn’t worth us trading ours for his!”

”We’ll decide after we figure it out.” As the siblings stepped out of the school gate, a black Mercedes drove up, Wen Bao stuck his head out, ”The young master sent me to pick you up.”

This is not the time for politeness, the car reached the airport in twenty minutes, the siblings thanked Wen Bao and hurriedly ran towards the boarding hall.

”Over here!” Lu Dongdong was about to call Wen Su when he saw him waving his hand and running over.

”Let’s hurry, they’ve already started boarding.” Without waiting for the siblings to speak, Wen Su took Lu Qingqing’s bag and pulled her forward.

”Wen Su!” Lu Qingqing called out in a complex tone but didn’t know what to say.

”Words of comfort can wait, if we don’t hurry, we’ll miss the plane.” Wen Su said as he pulled her shoulder firmly, ”I’ll go back with you.”

”Wen Su!”

This shout came from both siblings simultaneously.

”I definitely have to be with you at a time like this.” Wen Su sped up, ”Don’t talk nonsense, just hurry.”

Until the plane took off, Lu Qingqing still couldn’t believe this was real, she pinched her thigh secretly, the genuine pain made her tears unstoppable.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, she covered her face with a magazine..., on her shoulder, a pair of warm hands placed, gently stroking..., inexplicably, her heart settled, slowly yet firmly, she pulled his hands in front, buried her face, letting tears flow freely...

Wen Su remained silent, letting her vent.

After half an hour, Lu Qingqing’s tears finally stopped, with swollen eyes she forced a smile: ”Wen Su, thank you!”

”Why say that to me? It’s too formal, right?” Wen Su lightly gave her a pat, ”If you keep being so polite, I’ll definitely not forgive you.”

”Yes.” Lu Qingqing answered, grabbing her brother’s hand next to her, ”Brother.”

”Hmm?” Lu Dongdong looked at his sister with reddened eyes, ”Qingqing?”

”With you two by my side, I’m not afraid of anything. If... if things turn out like we suspected, I want to help Dad with you and Wen Su, okay?”

”Okay!” Lu Dongdong nodded, turning his gaze to Wen Su, ”Old Wen, I’ve decided, I’ll go to Wen Family.”

Wen Su glared at him: ”At a time like this, don’t say that, I’m going because I’m Qingqing’s boyfriend, I’m going because we’re brothers, nothing else. If you keep saying it, you’re looking down on me.”

The group reached Sha City, three hours later.

On the streets just lit, the cold wind howled, adding a bleakness to this desolate night.

The three walked in silence.

Stepping out of the car, not yet inside, they heard wailing cries, Lu Qingqing couldn’t bother with the slippery snow-covered path and rushed in.

The Lu Family’s hall was draped in black.

A large portrait of Lu Zhishan was positioned right opposite the door.

Lu Qi was kneeling and crying in front of the portrait.

”Mom!” Lu Qingqing hugged her mother and began wailing.

Nanny Lu stared at her daughter for a long time, then came to: ”Qingqing, you’re back? Where’s your brother?”

”Mom, I’m here.” Lu Dongdong stepped forward.

”Auntie, I’m here too.” Wen Su quickly greeted.

”You are?” Nanny Lu looked at Wen Su, again bewildered.

”He’s Wen Su, I’ve told you about him, he helped both brother and I come back.” Lu Qingqing quickly explained.

”Little Wen, have a seat, Auntie... Auntie really doesn’t have the mood to entertain you, please be understanding.”

”Auntie, don’t be formal with me.” Wen Su said, retreating to one side, at times like this, it’s better to be conscious as an outsider.

Lu Qingqing looked around: ”Mom, where are Grandpa and Grandma?”

”I quietly tricked them to your aunt’s house, I didn’t dare tell them, with their health, how could they bear it?” Nanny Lu said and cried again.
