Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1072 - 1052: Shadows at the Banquet

When Tang Tianyi returned, he bought a large wooden tub on the way, placed it in the living room, and specifically set up a partitioned area with a screen.

Aside from the issue of herbs, everything else was handled by Tang Tianyi.

After all, this wasn’t like the Luo Family Brothers; Ling dared to show himself, but Luo Qianqian didn’t dare to look...

The herbal medicine for oral consumption was prepared, and the leftover dregs were thrown into the wooden tub, while Tang Tianyi was responsible for adding water.

Watching Ling drink the herbal juice, Luo Qianqian went back to her room to help He Wenyu check the examination papers, not caring about the details.

Over on Tang Tianyi’s side, he specifically used an alcohol thermometer to maintain the temperature at thirty-nine degrees.

The first time, Ling fainted in pain in the wooden tub. However, Tang Tianyi didn’t pay much attention, and after a while, Ling woke up in pain.

The pain from this method was intense, but it was the best way to restore the heavenly mark, stimulating the injured area to treat the condition more effectively.

That night, after Tang Tianyi fished Ling out of the water, his facial muscles were still twitching, but an undeniable spark shone in his eyes.

He gently tugged on Tang Tianyi’s sleeve: "Can I recover?"

"Yes." Tang Tianyi naturally had complete faith in Luo Qianqian.

"Tang Tianyi, actually, I previously received a commission..." Ling whispered to Tang Tianyi for a while, after which Tang Tianyi nodded.

He let out a deep breath: "Just forget about it, I know about it, and that’s enough. Don’t mention it to anyone else."

"Don’t worry," Ling nodded.

If his injuries could be healed, Tang Tianyi and Luo Qianqian would be like his rebirth parents; how could he ever harm them?

Their requests, he naturally agreed to directly, without refusal.

"Don’t mention it to Shufan or Qhianqhian." Tang Tianyi squinted and, after a moment of silence, curled his lips: "Let’s just keep this buried inside, after all... right?"

Before he could finish, Ling already understood.

"You will still need a month like this. The medication Qhianqhian has should be enough, if not, you’ll need to find a way to get more yourself." Tang Tianyi was not willing to see Luo Qianqian become overwhelmed and exhausted.

Seeing the lights still on in their room, he knew the two of them hadn’t gone to sleep yet. He sighed softly.

It’s almost more exhausting than her own college entrance exam.

A few days later, Luo Qianqian changed into an off-white floor-length evening gown, revealing her shoulders and collarbones, while the rest was well covered, harmonizing perfectly with Tang Tianyi, who was wearing a suit of the same color range.

Tang Tianyi’s pink tie, Luo Qianqian’s pink brooch on her chest, the pink diamond necklace around her neck, and even the rose gold bracelet on her wrist all matched in color.

When the two arrived at the party venue, they unexpectedly ran into someone familiar, which made Luo Qianqian suddenly a bit flustered...

Why is Zhang Jingjing also here...?

After thinking it through, it made sense. No matter how one looked at it, Zhang Jingjing’s family is considered quite renowned in this city; there’s not even a minor event they’re unqualified to attend.

However, that’s not the main point. The issue is, she absolutely cannot meet Zhang Jingjing!

Not that the other party knows she’s back, and there’s no guarantee someone won’t dig out information about her identity from her.

Uncovering her true identity might not matter much, but if it troubles her mother and An Hao, or if her mother finds out she’s in this city and refuses to go home... would she come looking for a beating?

Luckily, Tang Tianyi grasped her tension and leaned down, whispering by her ear: "Your makeup is quite beautiful and mature."

If she had a tail, Luo Qianqian would certainly be wagging it rapidly upon hearing that.

Mature? It’s the one thing that had never appeared on Luo Qianqian’s face!

It’s quite helpless; a round face and baby fat have resulted in her current youthful appearance.

Even in college, even having stepped into adulthood, she still looks... like a middle school student.

Thankfully, Tang Tianyi had no interactions with Zhang Jingjing and was constantly in a state of evasion, falling back when the enemy advances, retreating when the enemy approaches...

"Director Yang." Seeing Yang Wei approaching straight on, Tang Tianyi immediately greeted him, a face of indifference that concealed any emotions.

"Finally found you. My father wants Mr. Tang to visit." Yang Wei, looking calm, smiled at Tang Tianyi.

Tang Tianyi glanced toward Zhang Jingjing and her father on the other side, then looked at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian tilted her head and smiled: "I want to visit the restroom; you go ahead first."

"Waiter." Yang Wei promptly waved over a waiter, instructing him a couple of times before giving Luo Qianqian a smile: "Please, make yourself at home."

Luo Qianqian put down her orange juice and left with the waiter, while Tang Tianyi followed Yang Wei away.

But the moment Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi parted ways, someone noticed immediately.

"Hey, that chick split up from that guy."

"Don’t cause any trouble; none of the people here are simple."

"Do you know these two? No? Then what are you afraid of? They probably just came to broaden their horizons. I’m not afraid of people with status, let alone... You’re not coming? I’ll go myself."

As they talked, one of them was already walking toward the direction Luo Qianqian had gone.

The other one frowned slightly, then followed, also showing a bit of excitement, as such beauty was still rare even here. If it turned out to be someone’s girlfriend, they wouldn’t mind doing a favor. In this city, even those with power and influence give them some respect. That’s the value of wealth.

Luo Qianqian sensed it almost the moment they followed her out of the banquet hall, considering such malicious gazes weren’t something she could completely ignore. Although the other party was really nothing in her eyes.

"Hey, she went to the restroom." Upon seeing Luo Qianqian enter the bathroom, the one following behind said to the one who got there first.

The first man squinted his eyes: "Does she plan on staying in there? You go get that waiter to leave."

No matter what, it’s still inadvisable to get into trouble.

No matter how capable the fathers are, they wouldn’t let him mess around recklessly.

Meanwhile, Luo Qianqian calmly took out a piece of red jade from her space and flicked it, and Feng Xi emerged.

Feng Xi, as he appeared, shook a bit and looked at Luo Qianqian with a puzzled expression: "What happened?"

"There are two people outside, deal with them." Luo Qianqian calmly handed over a red evening gown, which she had bought specifically for Feng Xi, knowing that Feng Xi liked red—an indisputable fact.

With a wave, Feng Xi put on the dress, frowning slightly: "It’s a bit tight..."

Watching the cleavage created by the dress, Luo Qianqian silently turned her gaze away. Some people are just naturally annoying...

But fortunately, the efficiency was commendable. Feng Xi, with endless allure, walked out the door...

Compared to Luo Qianqian’s youthfulness, Feng Xi’s stunning looks drove men wild. Thus the men who intended to approach Luo Qianqian quickly changed course upon seeing Feng Xi, straightening their suits before approaching: "Hello, miss, may I invite you for a drink?"

Luo Qianqian remained utterly calm, walking out of the bathroom and returning directly to the banquet hall.

Tang Tianyi, who arrived soon after, left with her without further delay.

And with Feng Xi’s Spirit Jade in Luo Qianqian’s possession, getting separated from her wasn’t a possibility.
