Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1038 - 1018: Finding the Right Person Is Key
After Luo Qianqian finished eating, she hadn’t done much yet when she heard her phone buzz. She took it out and saw a missed call and an unread message, both from the same person—Deng Ming.
The message was asking if she had anything urgent, explaining he was out leading a training and didn’t bring his phone along.
The message had been sent twenty minutes ago.
The call had been made an hour earlier.
Furrowing her brow, Luo Qianqian checked the time and decisively called back.
Almost immediately upon connecting, the call was answered.
"Hello?" The deep, husky voice on the other side sounded like someone with a cold.
"It’s Luo Qianqian." She introduced herself directly, "Can you talk now?"
"I... can." Deng Ming answered after a sigh from the other side.
"Actually..." Luo Qianqian just managed to say two words when she was caught off guard by a duet-like sound. She went to the balcony window, listened to the sound of stray dogs outside, but there was a duet sound in the background?
"Where are you?" Almost immediately, Luo Qianqian asked suspiciously.
Deng Ming looked at the dog in front of him with eyes glistening with green, feeling utterly helpless. Was he seen as food? Or did he look delicious?
"I’m downstairs at your building," Deng Ming said.
Luo Qianqian’s cheeks twitched, but she suddenly felt grateful she called back.
"Wait for me, I’ll come down." She said.
Some things were inconvenient to discuss at home; Luo Qianqian wanted to find a place with no people.
"Better stay up there; down here... um, not suitable for children," Deng Ming said, looking at the bushes swaying by themselves accompanied by some strange groaning sounds. He had a head full of black lines.
Luo Qianqian paused for a moment, feeling as though she sensed something from the call, and after a moment, invited him up.
After all, he was nominally Deng Yuqi’s dad... Leaving him downstairs overnight wouldn’t make sense.
He Wenyu quietly closed the door, "I’m off to do my homework."
Mori didn’t stick his head out, as the bathroom door was closed.
Only the sound of running water became louder.
When Deng Ming came up, he was slightly surprised by the noises from the bathroom but didn’t ask further.
Luo Qianqian quickly poured him a glass of water and went over her ideas and concerns.
Deng Ming hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I’ll talk to the folks upstairs, anything else?"
"Just that..." What else could there be? Luo Qianqian looked puzzled.
Deng Ming rolled his eyes, "Your parent-teacher meeting, you don’t need me to..."
"No need, I can handle school stuff myself." Luo Qianqian waved her hand calmly, and then they sat staring at each other for a moment.
After a while, Deng Ming stood up speechlessly, "Then I’ll be going now."
"Mm, take care," Luo Qianqian saw him to the door.
Watching the closed door behind him, Deng Ming shook his head helplessly. If he really had such a daughter, he might have been driven mad already.
Kicked the dad out in the middle of the night?
Good thing she’s not his biological daughter, so fortunate...
A few days later, Deng Ming came back with a pile of paperwork, naturally the answer satisfied Luo Qianqian, and also the legal person was Deng Ming.
"Is it okay?" Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Deng Ming looked perfectly natural, "You’re not of age, and the Luo Family can’t step in, isn’t this the best solution?"
He wouldn’t mention that the old chief thought highly of Luo Qianqian and told him to cooperate fully...
Luo Qianqian squinted at the paperwork and immediately called Luo Xiying and the brothers Luo Yanhai and Luo Yanwu, explaining the situation and requesting personnel for a month later.
Next, she called Tu Aige about finding a company address, location selection couldn’t be hasty.
Tu Aige readily agreed.
This was the first time since the last incident that Luo Qianqian actively contacted him.
And Tu Daoge confirmed that Luo Qianqian, like a child, didn’t understand... shouldn’t meddle too much, which would cause people to drift away.
No matter how Tu Aige persuaded him, he wouldn’t change his mind.
As for Li Huai, ever since the last meeting, he had gone to train and hadn’t appeared before the two.
This was something Tu Aige couldn’t quite grasp about his intentions.
"Luo Qianqian, how long has it been since you called me, do you remember?" As soon as she called Qin Nuan, she heard a voice filled with exasperation.
"Uh..." Luo Qianqian sheepishly touched her nose, "Haven’t I been busy?"
He Wenyu shook his head helplessly. Someone who never forgets to bleed over eggs online every day, forgetting to call? Just unwilling to, that’s all.
Calling and speaking too freely would only add to others’ worries.
It’s the same reason she doesn’t want her to delve too deep into these matters now.
"Alright, there’s never anything good when you reach out to me on your own, you need money?"
"Hmm..." Luo Qianqian replied awkwardly.
Then she briefed Qin Nuan about matters here.
Qin Nuan was speechless, and at that short moment moved the phone away from her ear, glaring at it as if she could smash it against the wall.
Who acts like this?
She was just joking, turns out she really needed money?
Needing money is fine, but why is she finding out only when things are all set to proceed smoothly?
Luo Qianqian seemed to have taken advantage of the jungle rule, where when there’s no tiger, monkeys seize power, drifting without control, letting loose?
Though Luo Qianqian couldn’t quite understand Qin Nuan’s thoughts, hearing her grinding her teeth over the call was enough to imagine.
Her face was full of embarrassment; it wasn’t her fault, how was she to know things would go so smoothly with Deng Ming?
If she had mentioned it earlier and it turned out unfeasible, wouldn’t that be even more awkward? No more anticipation...
Better not speak of unsuccessful things, to avoid ridicule.
As Grandpa said, she deeply believed.
"I’ll come to find you on the weekend," Qin Nuan said and hung up, full of helplessness.
Once the weekend arrived, Luo Qianqian was faithfully present at the airport to pick up Qin Nuan.
Upon meeting, she wasn’t greeted with a warm hug but rather two hands pinching her cheeks fiercely.
Both Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran stretched out their hands towards Luo Qianqian’s cheeks.
Fang Youyuan stood behind them, watching warmly.
"Oh dear, your cheeks are chubby!!!" Luo Qianqian protested unwillingly but still obediently had her cheeks pinched.
"Senior brother, why you too..."
"Mm, just came by to check on you," Fang Youyuan said with a warm smile.
He couldn’t say that it was snowing in the Capital City, and watching the snow made him feel somewhat melancholy, so he came out to find the only relative in the country.
"Hehe, senior brother came at the perfect time, we’ll talk more after going to the hotel," Luo Qianqian blinked, her face full of excitement.
