Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 449: Chapter 429: Qin Nuan (2)

”Heh heh,” Qin Nuan chuckled in agreement, understanding Qianqian’s implication, but she couldn’t help but wonder, had this woman hooked up with a sugar daddy back in her university days?

”You little brat!” The woman raised her arm.

Luo Qianqian looked up calmly, her gaze fixed on the woman’s eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips, ”Dare you? If you dare to lay a finger on me today, tomorrow I can make sure you’re expelled. If you don’t believe me, just try it.”

”You really are domineering,” Qin Nuan said, half irritated, half amused by Luo Qianqian, ”Go play on the side, my sister-in-law is here, why would you need to step in recklessly?”

Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue but didn’t back down, ”If brother isn’t here, I am my sister-in-law’s protector. I want to see who dares to touch me?”

The man glanced at Qin Nuan, bent down slightly, and smiled at Luo Qianqian, ”Little sister, you’re accompanying your sister-in-law to school? What’s your brother’s name?”

He thought if it wasn’t some prominent family, a fight would be just a fight. After such an affront, he couldn’t just not fight back, right?

”Sorry, but I’m a freshman, to be precise, it’s my sister-in-law who is accompanying me. So, if there’s an issue, come at me,” Luo Qianqian curled her lips into a sneer, ”By the way, it doesn’t matter what my brother’s name is. His looks, bank account, and family background are worlds apart from yours. I don’t mind if you investigate me, and I don’t mind if you resort to underhanded tactics. I just want to say, you’d better cover your tracks well. If I find something, you’ll bear the consequences.

A blatant threat. Luo Qianqian’s eyes swept upward slightly, the woman’s hand unable to come down, glaring with rage, ”You just wait!”

Once the subway stopped, the two hurriedly fled.

Qin Nuan’s face was cold, ”Who asked you to step in? Aren’t you afraid that...”

”Afraid of what? Isn’t there still you? Would you let me get schemed against? Plus, I believe after their investigation, they won’t have the courage to scheme against me.” The only granddaughter of the Luo family, would they dare to mess with her?

People nearby couldn’t help but unconsciously move aside, creating a large space around the two of them.

”You certainly did vent your anger. Wait until I tell your brother so he can beat you up,” Qin Nuan thought about it and realized, the Luo family was different from the Qin Family; if someone really hit her, it’s possible the school could be turned upside down by her uncles and brothers.

”He beat me up?” Luo Qianqian smacked her lips but said nothing.

Her memory drifted back to the first time she went to the Luo family’s big house. That day Luo Yanran got the beating of his life.

”Can’t stop mentioning it, can you, sister,” Qin Nuan said through gritted teeth, annoyed. She might not harbor any strong feelings for the pair, but it sure was bothersome they kept popping up in front of her, wasn’t it?

”Do you think it’s that woman’s backer who is scheming against you? That guy obviously didn’t have the financial wherewithal.” Luo Qianqian frowned. It made sense for the man to not let go of Qin Nuan, who was superior in looks and economic status, but for the woman—if she had been in that situation, she would have made sure her boyfriend never saw Qin Nuan again, let alone cosy up and suggest going out for ice cream together. Something was definitely off. If the woman had no ulterior motive against Qin Nuan, there was no need for this.

Moreover, although the woman was affectionately physical with her boyfriend, her eyes betrayed a hint of indifference, which didn’t fit the picture of a couple in love.

Qin Nuan was taken aback. She had avoided contact with the two early on, so why were there still so many coincidences?

Luo Qianqian furrowed her brows. This matter definitely had nothing to do with the Luo family.

Both of them fell silent, their faces, one older one younger, serious.

After they got off the subway, Qin Nuan called Luo Yanran to complain, while Luo Qianqian directly called Qin Wen to report the incident.

Qin Wen promised he would look into it before hanging up.

Instead of going home immediately, they went to a nearby subway station’s cold drink shop to have ice cream. Indeed, it’s not good to eat too much of something so cold, but a little wouldn’t hurt. As Luo Qianqian grew older, she wasn’t as strict with managing her diet, indulging in snacks from time to time.

Qin Nuan looked out the window, ”I always feel like not resolving this matter is like not being able to start my life over. It feels like I still have something going on with them.”

”You better hope my brother doesn’t hear you say that; he’d explode,” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, visibly dismissive, but a storm was brewing inside her. Indeed, even if she didn’t intend to repeat the mistakes of her past life and deliberately avoided them, they could still stir up trouble in her life.

After receiving the news, Qin Wen immediately dropped what he was doing. His sister’s concerns were much more important than work, but she never talked about it.

He felt distressed upon receiving Luo Qianqian’s message. His sister had grown up and stopped telling her brothers everything, giving them a sense of defeat. Although his sister would act spoiled at times, she never shared her everyday troubles with them. Now, she even discussed them with a younger girl instead of them.

He was still grateful for Luo Qianqian’s notice. Soon after, he discovered a problem and immediately called Qin Nuan, telling her to come straight home.

Qin Nuan was somewhat puzzled and just about to ask Luo Qianqian to go home first when she noticed that Qianqian was staring at her intently, ”It must be Second Brother Qin who has found something, I had just called him.”

There wasn’t a hint of fear that Qin Nuan would be angry.

Qin Nuan, feeling helpless and knowing that Luo Qianqian was also worried about him, didn’t say anything. He hailed a cab and took Luo Qianqian back to the Qin Family, but Qin Wen had not yet gotten home.

”I always feel like something big has happened.” Qin Nuan frowned and sighed softly.

Luo Qianqian glanced at her, ”I just want to say, as long as you’re happy, that’s good.”

”Hey, I am quite happy, after all, I’ve always had your support.” Qin Nuan smiled.

”Aren’t we from the same kingdom?” Luo Qianqian smiled as well.

Just then, the door opened, and Qin Wen was back.

”What did you find out?” Seeing Second Brother Qin’s nervous look, Qin Nuan calmly poured him a glass of water.

”Do you know that you own a company?” Qin Wen downed the water in one gulp, his gaze flickering somewhat, ”Do you know that?”

”Would I have asked for donations if I had known?” Qin Nuan rolled her eyes, ”What’s going on?”

Luo Qianqian, however, spoke up in shock, ”Could it be that the person behind that woman is the current leader of a company under Nuannuan’s name?”

Qin Nuan waved her hand dismissively, ”How could that be possible?”

Yet she saw Qin Wen nodding seriously.

”What? This is so melodramatic?”

Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened in disbelief.

”Before grandfather passed away, he made a will leaving all his property in your name. Mom and Dad didn’t take it seriously and didn’t expect there would be so much. Mom is indeed the only daughter of grandfather, but the general manager at the time, who was grandfather’s confidant, was not satisfied with grandfather’s decision, because grandfather did not marry Mom to him, and by giving all the property directly to Nuannuan, it meant that even if Mom divorced and remarried, he wouldn’t get a penny. Later, Mom signed a property management trust, and you would not have the right to manage it until you were eighteen,” Qin Wen’s eyes flashed, ”But when you turned eighteen, Mom had already forgotten.”

”??? Forgotten???” Luo Qianqian looked at Qin Wen incredulously.

”I just called Mom to confirm,” sighed Qin Wen.

”So, the people under me have been scheming against me?” Qin Nuan, pointing at her nose, had a look of ironic disbelief on her face.

”Who else knows that you are the boss except for him?” Qin Wen rolled his eyes.

Luo Qianqian blinked, ”Just sell it, after all, taking it back now would only cause instability among the people, and they wouldn’t follow you.”

Qin Nuan nodded and looked at Qin Wen, ”Can I make decisions now?”

”I just went to grandfather’s former lawyer and got the documents; the other things are in Mom’s safety deposit box at the bank,” Qin Wen looked at Luo Qianqian, ”Did you stand up for Nuannuan today?”

Luo Qianqian was taken aback and nodded.

”Someone’s already looking into you.”

”They sure move fast.” Luo Qianqian blinked and hugged Qin Nuan tightly, ”Sister-in-law, protect me.”

Qin Nuan, holding Luo Qianqian, had a flicker in her eyes. She had not expected things to turn out this way. So, her death had saved her company? What was all this for?

Hearing Luo Qianqian’s address, Qin Wen looked at her discontentedly, but then saw her sticking out her tongue at him, clearly doing it on purpose.
