Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 472: Chapter 452: Luo Yanwu Prepared

”What are you doing???!!!” Luo Yanwu looked at the tiny blade and also felt a chill.

”Behave, Third Brother, just grooming your eyebrows.” Luo Qianqian smiled sleazily, quite composed as she grabbed Luo Yanwu’s arm. Even if she hadn’t grasped it, Luo Yanwu wouldn’t dare to resist. This was an elder, wielding a ’weapon,’ after all. If she accidentally cut him, he really wouldn’t be able to explain himself.

Seeing Luo Yanwu behaving, Jia Ning was very satisfied. She seriously groomed Luo Yanwu’s eyebrows until they were neat and tidy. Then Luo Qianqian spoke in a ghostly tone, ”So, when did Second Aunt learn to groom eyebrows?”

Jia Ning paused, her face becoming somewhat embarrassed: ”This afternoon at the beauty salon...”

”???” Luo Qianqian looked at Luo Yanwu’s eyebrows in terror, but they actually did look much better.

”Pfft.” Ye Qianying burst into laughter instantly: ”Don’t listen to your Second Aunt’s nonsense, she got her practice from shaving Fourth Brother’s head when they were kids.”

”Shaving heads???” Luo Qianqian was bewildered, completely in disbelief. Second Aunt actually did it herself???

”You wouldn’t know by looking at her graceful appearance now, but when your Fourth Brother was little, your Second Aunt could chase him around the neighborhood and then shave his head.”

”Sister-in-law!” Jia Ning was caught between laughter and tears, her secrets all laid bare.

”My, my.” Ye Qianying covered her mouth, looking slightly embarrassed as she gazed at Jia Ning: ”Slipped out without thinking.”

”Enough, you two are just as bad as each other.” Yue Tingyu shook her head helplessly: ”Getting on in years and still acting like children. What happened to being graceful old ladies?”

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Ye Qianying and Jia Ning immediately changed their expressions, adopting a graceful demeanor with hands steadily placed on their knees and backs straightened.

”Pfft, so the ultimate boss turns out to be Grandma.” Luo Qianqian, finding the aunts’ pretense to amuse the old lady hilarious, couldn’t stop laughing: ”Then I too want to be an elegant young beauty.”

”Alright, you’re all elegant, an elegant old lady, an elegant daughter-in-law, and an elegant granddaughter. Go to bed now, or it’ll be morning before we know it.” Old Master Luo, descending from upstairs, was all sternness while being unable to suppress the laughter in his eyes. He then couldn’t help commenting as he saw Luo Qianqian’s clothes: ”Laoer’s wife has an increasingly good eye. It really suits Qianqian.”

Luo Yanwu had nothing to say, looking at the tie that matched his sister’s dress and heaving a sigh inwardly that his presence was so minimal.

As if just remembering the grandson who had a blind date tomorrow, Old Master Luo glanced at Luo Yanwu, frowning slightly, ”What’s that on your hand?”

Jia Ning chuckled, retrieving the tie: ”Qianqian’s dress ribbon.”

Old Master Luo’s furrowed brow then relaxed. He thought, why would his grandson have such a flamboyant thing?

Luo Qianqian patted her dress, turned around calmly: ”Goodnight Grandpa, Grandma, Aunties, and Third Brother.” After saying that, she headed upstairs without a moment’s hesitation.

”Goodnight.” Old Master Luo was quite pleased with Luo Qianqian’s conduct. That’s how one should be, straight to bed when it’s time to sleep. What’s there to dawdle about?

Ye Qianying and Jia Ning also decided to stay over, for no other reason than that both Luo Yanwu and Luo Qianqian were here, and they would be departing from this place tomorrow. As elders, it was natural to show support for the younger ones’ major events.

”I’m going to sleep too... Goodnight Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Second Aunt.” He turned and went upstairs as well. No use fretting over so much now, whatever was meant to come would inevitably come when the time was right.

Luo Qianqian returned to her room to change her clothes. After washing up, she compiled the recent happenings at school into an email to send to her brother. She also sent a safety report email to Xu Tianyi because she was attending and boarding at school, which turned their phone calls into something they did when both were free, instead of being restricted to Wednesdays only.

Xu Tianyi was also sending two emails a week, which was very steady.

”Qianqian, give me that cleanser of yours to use,” she was about to lie down when she heard someone knocking at the door.

She hurriedly went into the bathroom, took the cleanser, and handed it to Luo Yanwu with a smile, ”What’s up? Has my big brother also started to care about his looks?”

”It’s not about losing face in front of you,” Luo Yanwu wasn’t the least bit embarrassed as he took the cleanser, ”You should go to sleep early.”

”Mm, goodnight Third Brother.” Luo Qianqian closed the door, only to see an unread email on her computer that hadn’t been shut down. She was a bit surprised.

Was it from Luo Shufan? At this time?

Then, a video call came through. Luo Qianqian instinctively answered, surprised to find that the caller wasn’t Luo Shufan but Xu Tianyi.

”What’s up?” Luo Qianqian’s voice traveled through the headset into Xu Tianyi’s ears, and he almost burst into tears. However, seeing Luo Shufan’s cold gaze on the side, he swallowed hard.

”Nothing. I just saw your email and suddenly missed you a lot.” Xu Tianyi ignored Luo Shufan’s increasingly dark expression and calmly greeted Luo Qianqian in a soft voice.

”Yeah, I feel the same.” Luo Qianqian’s face turned red, and she hastily hugged her cheeks. Remembering there was no webcam attached, she laughed silently at her own nervousness, ”How’s your studying going?”

Xu Tianyi fell silent. Under Luo Shufan’s guidance, he didn’t want to describe this period with just ’studying.’ Calling it a ’mission’ seemed more appropriate, ”It’s going well, you?”

”I share a dorm with Nuannuan, and we plan to turn it into a dorm of scholars,” Luo Qianqian said, jokingly sharing her experience of the time with Xu Tianyi, and didn’t forget to add, ”Tomorrow I have to take my third brother to meet a pretty girl. If my brother was around, I would definitely take him first. I don’t know if he has time for a girlfriend.”

A smile suddenly appeared on Xu Tianyi’s face, turning it bright red. He wanted to laugh but didn’t dare. His conversation with Luo Qianqian wasn’t hidden from Luo Shufan. Thus Luo Qianqian’s voice was clearly heard by Luo Shufan.

”No worries, your brother is still young,” Xu Tianyi could only say in response to Luo Shufan’s gloomy look.

”That’s not necessarily true. I have a potential partner,” Luo Qianqian couldn’t help her voice from rising a little, showing she was in high spirits, ”You haven’t been flirting with any girls, have you? There must be many pretty girls abroad, right?”

”Where would I... ”

Every day I’m faced with your brother’s stern face. Not to mention girls, even looking at your photo might get snatched away from me.

”Hmm hmm, oh right, I sent you an email just now, didn’t I? Pay attention to the items in the pictures,” Luo Qianqian emphasized.

The pictures in the email were made by Qin Nuan; she had just received them as well. There was nothing special about them. They were a transaction made by Li Xiancheng and Qin Nuan for the company. Qin Nuan thought she had benefited from Li Xiancheng, so she made this in her spare time as a return.

It was about the approximate time and location of cultural playthings that had been lost.
