Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1160 - 1140: Luo Qianqian’s Return (5)

Yes, no matter the outcome, there’s no escaping it, as long as Luo Yanwu still has the heart to walk side by side with Cong Rong.

"But isn’t it only through things like this that we can truly see some matters for what they are?" Qianqian murmured, "When the Luo Family was flourishing, there were indeed many who sought to curry favor with us, yet when the Luo Family fell on hard times, those who remained by our side are the true friends."

Wasn’t it all because of the status of the Luo Family and even Luo Yanwu from the very start?

But when you are up high, there will naturally be times when you fall, when you’re no longer in that position, how can you stop others from thinking and doing whatever they want?

Qianqian gently pinched Luo Yanwu’s face, "Third Brother, you’re an adult, how can you let a child teach you what to do? Just make sure you don’t regret it in the future."

Looking at his sister’s bright little face, Luo Yanwu nodded lightly.

Luo Xihan was driven out by his wife, looking gloomy as he helped Luo Yanhai with the shrimp.

"What kind of nonsense is Qianqian up to over there?" Watching Qianqian and Luo Yanwu laughing happily, Luo Xihan felt a bit unhappy.

"Maybe they’re planning how to sleep tonight." Luo Yanhai bluntly speculated, "Could it be they want to... heh heh..."

"Qianqian, your big brother wants to eat half-cooked rice." Luo Xihan chuckled and mercilessly exposed Luo Yanhai.

Qianqian dashed over, eyes sparkling, "Really? What’s this preference of yours, big brother?"

Luo Yanhai: "..."

What could he say?

By the time they ate, the table was filled with dishes, and the kitchen was still bustling.

"Not done yet..." Qianqian was sprawled over the table, incredulous, looking toward the kitchen. Were they planning to cook everything they have?

"Let’s eat first." Luo Xihan went into the kitchen, seeing the four busy people, and helplessly twitched his mouth. What could he say? Was this a sudden whim?

After eating, Qianqian and He Wenyu washed the dishes, Cong Rong was taken into Luo Yanran’s room by Luo Yanwu, and the four remaining people sat satisfied on the sofa.

"It’s still best when Qianqian is back. It’s been so long since we ate this well." Jia Ning leaned contentedly against the sofa back. Lately, for one reason or another, either the issue with Haoran or managing the Nine Heavens Pavilion, their meals were mostly ordered from restaurants.

Restaurant food tastes good, but it lacks the flavor of home.

Even though their dishes weren’t as exquisite or beautiful as those from restaurants, they had the flavor of home and gave a sense of satisfaction. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Indeed." Luo Xihan nodded in agreement.

While driving, he turned off his phone. No business matters were as important as gathering and eating together; he wanted to relax a bit too.

"There’s one more thing." Luo Yanhai looked at his mom, his expression serious.

Luo Xihan’s mind suddenly went blank, unsure of what Luo Yanhai was about to say, but feeling a sense of dread.

"Mom, Qianqian said she’s tired of eating grandma’s cooking." After a pause, Luo Yanhai said, "Why don’t you guys go over too?"

"Tired of it?" Ye Qianying was puzzled, how could she be tired of it after just a few years when she never was before???

"We can’t, we still have to manage the Nine Heavens Pavilion, such a heavy responsibility, leaving it to others, Qianqian wouldn’t be at ease." Jia Ning shook her head after a moment’s pause. She naturally also had some longing for that place but wanted to advance and retreat together with Luo Xihan.

Qianqian heard these words from the kitchen and just sighed gently.

"Qianqian, actually there’s something else." He Wenyu, hands glistening with water droplets, looked hesitant.

Qianqian paused and looked at He Wenyu in confusion, "What’s the matter?"

"I was previously followed, I asked Senior Cong Rong, she said she was also followed, we even felt that way when together, but nothing ever happened." After a brief pause, He Wenyu said.

"Followed?!" Qianqian was astonished and bewildered.

"Crack..." The exquisite ceramic plate in her hand shattered, the piece in her palm turning to powder and scattering.

Hearing Qianqian’s voice, Jia Ning and the others instinctively rushed to the kitchen door, seeing the white powder in Qianqian’s hand, they were first stunned, then saw the shattered ceramic plate in the sink.

"What happened?" Ye Qianying was startled, rushing into the kitchen, she opened Qianqian’s hand to check for wounds, relaxing only after confirming there were none, "You all go out, I’ll handle the rest."

Jia Ning also relaxed a bit, turning to Luo Xihan, "I said we should buy a dishwasher!"

"Yes, yes, I’ll have someone buy one in a bit." Luo Xihan readily agreed.

Qianqian took a deep breath and walked out of the kitchen, looking at her aunts inside, then turned to see Luo Yanhai standing up, "Big brother, any other unfulfilled wishes?"

"Huh?" Luo Yanhai was puzzled, why did it sound like she was waiting for him to say a will?

"When we go back to the old house, you all ’die’..." Qianqian gently shook her head, "Xiao Yu and Cong Rong were followed, even such distant connections to the Luo Family..."

Luo Yanhai stiffened for a moment, looking at his serious sister, frowning, "But, Dad..."

"I promise to bring back our oldest brother when I return." Qianqian raised her arm immediately, "Do I need to swear?"

"Stop joking!" Luo Xihan slapped Qianqian’s arm, then turned away, his face flushed as he held his hand, eyes turning red with pain making faces.

"What are you doing, husband?" Jia Ning, coming out of the kitchen, was slightly startled, looking puzzled.

Luo Xihan squeezed out a somewhat fierce sounding, "It hurts..."

Qianqian then realized, sheepishly glancing at her wrist.

She was truly innocent...

"Second Uncle, do you want to see a doctor?"

Qianqian felt a bit wronged, she really didn’t expect Second Uncle to suddenly hit...

Luo Xihan looked at Qianqian with a trace of resentment in his eyes, since when did his cute little niece become Iron Man?

Qianqian’s expression turned embarrassed...

Could she say it wasn’t intentional?

"Second Uncle, your training isn’t working." Luo Yanhai chuckled at Luo Xihan, eyes glittering, making Luo Xihan’s old face slightly uncomfortable...

"You try!" Luo Xihan glared and shouted at Luo Yanhai, then turned to force a smile at Qianqian, "Qianqian, what kind of iron skin and bones have you developed?"
