Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1020 - 1000: Fu Qing
Simply called the person out, Luo Qianqian was a bit surprised that using the Spirit of Jade as bait didn’t draw out someone targeting the Spirit of Jade.
Clearly, the previous waves of people had already been dealt with, yet Luo Qianqian and her siblings hadn’t noticed.
Silent for a moment, she looked at her two brothers, then nodded.
Arriving at a quaint little courtyard, Luo Qianqian wondered if she had come to the wrong place.
Graceful flowing water, a unique little bridge, and a wooden rocking chair, a tree that requires two people to embrace, a two-story rustic little building, with a glass facade on the first floor, clearly showing a middle-aged man inside who was making tea.
Suspiciously, Luo Qianqian looked at her two brothers behind her, and noticed both of them subtly shaking their heads.
No one knew who this person was?
Luo Qianqian felt inexplicably uneasy; the unknown was indeed terrifying, this statement was no lie.
"Please come in." The man who earlier looked like a bit of a rascal suddenly became very gentlemanly, inviting the three inside, while the two stayed outside the door.
The man seemed completely unbothered by the three entering, still calmly making tea, his every move a pleasure to watch.
If one ignored the costly gold-framed glasses, he was a refined person, untouched by any commonness.
Yet, being adorned with such worldly items makes him appear deliberately sophisticated.
"Sit." The man said.
Luo Qianqian hesitated for a moment before sitting opposite the man.
Luo Yanwu stretched out his hand but ultimately put it down, sitting with Luo Yanhai on either side of Luo Qianqian, protecting her.
"Try some of the tea I made."
The man gestured invitingly, Luo Qianqian furrowed her brows slightly, then picked up a tea cup.
The tea cup was small and exquisite, the white cup refined and possessing some rustic charm.
The tea was clear and not dispersed, its aroma enhanced by the suitable water temperature, making it feel more substantial.
The tea initially tasted slightly bitter on the palate, but after the bitterness came a long-lasting sweet aftertaste.
However, it was evident that at Luo Qianqian’s age, she didn’t understand tea tasting, merely poured it into her mouth, swallowed it, and said: "Good tea."
"Oh? What’s good about it?" The man was apparently not planning to let Luo Qianqian off easily.
Luo Qianqian’s lips twitched: "It’s got more flavor than plain water, good tea indeed."
You’ve already said it’s plain water, what flavor does plain water have?
"It quenches thirst too, good water." Luo Qianqian continued: "Just that the cup is too small, not enough to drink."
"Haha, you girl." The man showed no dissatisfaction, instead laughed heartily, making Luo Qianqian unsure of what he meant.
"I’m interested in the Spirit of Jade, but more so in something else I want." The man stared directly at Luo Qianqian, putting down the tea cup.
Luo Qianqian paused for a moment, her expression somewhat solemn. Something more valuable than the Spirit of Jade?
Possibly the Green Spirit?
But how could this person know?
He doesn’t seem old enough to be familiar with grandfather.
"I want Moli." The man said.
"I can’t do that." Luo Qianqian quickly waved her hand: "Moli should bloom in spring, it’s already autumn now, the season is wrong, none available."
"Mori A. Moxius." The man continued.
Luo Qianqian finally understood who he was referring to, that young brat...
Previously she saw him waiting at the door, but later had no idea where he went, this wasn’t a lie.
"Foreigner? What does he look like? How old? Male or female? Does he understand Huaxia? Is he in school or working? If I encounter him, I’ll let you know."
"..." Seeing Luo Qianqian’s unhesitating questions, Nan Re almost believed he had wronged her.
But unfortunately, he was no ordinary person.
"Really? At mango, someone saw you take a box out, and you’re the only one among those entering and leaving who could have carried someone out." The man continued.
"Eh? Suitcase? You’re talking about that suitcase? I can’t even fit in it, right? Who you’re looking for must be very small then?" Luo Qianqian was suddenly perplexed: "That’s a suitcase I bought to pack clothes home? I was in such a rush that day, I didn’t send it home."
A completely natural look.
Yet it made Luo Yanwu furrow his brow slightly?
Mango? Why does it sound like a place that’s not reputable?
After a bit of back-and-forth with the man, Luo Qianqian remained highly focused, not relaxed in the slightest, afraid of slipping and revealing something.
But the man maintained a carefree demeanor, showing no sign of difficulty.
"By the way, may I know you?" The man suddenly said: "My surname is Fu, single name Qing."
Luo Qianqian blinked, Fu Qing? A good name, taking advantage subtly...
"Mr. Fu." Luo Qianqian however smiled calmly: "We’re just nobodies, no need to trouble you, sir."
From beginning to end, the two brothers beside her remained silent, letting Luo Qianqian make the decisions.
Since they decided to come here, it was already decided that Luo Qianqian would make decisions herself, they were here to be knights, to be guards.
To protect this little princess of the Luo Family.
"Whether you’re nobodies I don’t know, but the Nine Heavens Pavilion is certainly connected to you." Fu Qing just smiled, neither confirming nor denying further: "No hard feelings if the deal doesn’t go through, let’s just say I’ve made a young friend."
Luo Qianqian’s reaction was a series of lip movements.
Yet later, when she learned of this person’s identity, she could only secretly count herself lucky.
"I really don’t know, if I found someone, my first reaction should be turning them over to the police, right?" Luo Qianqian pouted: "Do you see me as someone who would dare bring someone home just like that?"
"If you find him, contact me." The man only looked at Luo Qianqian meaningfully, handing over a business card, pouring another cup of tea, then called someone to send the three away.
After the three left, a man appeared beside him: "Big brother, do you want us to..." gesturing in the direction where Luo Qianqian left.
Fu Qing held the tea cup, slowly shaking his head: "This is the mainland."
In a single sentence, revealing his identity. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Not forces from the mainland.
But why are they looking for that brat? Luo Qianqian didn’t understand.
Yet she couldn’t help but not understand, after driving around a few times, she returned to the house at the Third Middle School entrance, seeing the young boy pitifully hugging his knees seated at the door, and twitched: "Someone’s looking for you."
"Who?"
"Surname Fu."
"From Harbor City? No."
Luo Qianqian didn’t expect that merely a surname, the young boy already deduced the person’s identity, could only stare dumbfoundedly at everything.
After watching him for a moment, she put him inside the house, casually locking her room door: "There’s some food at home, call me if anything happens."
Pointing towards the direction of the phone, she casually tore off a sheet of paper and wrote down her number: "This is my contact information, try not to contact me."
"Got it, thank you..." The young boy looked at Luo Qianqian, his face full of emotion.
