Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 1370 - 1350: Strength
Qhianqhian quietly listened on the side, occasionally showing a change in expression but never expressing her opinions, just acting as an observer.
She stayed silent, trying to understand everything that had happened recently.
But it was clear that someone was still dissatisfied, like Lady Sun, who felt she had lost face earlier.
"Sir, even if this Miss Luo is General Luo’s granddaughter, after all, General Luo is already dead..." Lady Sun, whose son is a key member of the research institute and whose husband and she also assist in experiments there, was quite resistant to the outsider Qhianqhian.
Especially since Qhianqhian received much better treatment than they did. After making significant breakthroughs, it naturally felt unfair to them.
"Xiuxia!" Commander Sun was somewhat dumbfounded, not expecting his wife to speak so, and hurriedly stopped her.
But it was obviously too late, as a dagger was already spinning in the air in front of her, glinting coldly under the lights.
Qhianqhian curled her lips. Even if her grandfather was alive and well, even if he wasn’t, it wasn’t up to her grandfather’s juniors to say a word against her in front of her!
"Sir, look, she dare to draw a knife! This is Zhongnanhai! We all dared not bring anything in, why is she allowed?!" To her, Qhianqhian’s threat seemed to be mere cowardice.
She firmly believed Qhianqhian wouldn’t dare to harm her, given the significance of the location.
"Because I’m named Luo, and I’m called Luo Qianqian!" Qhianqhian stood up directly, emanating a cold aura, and three more daggers flew out, aiming at Lady Sun from four directions.
Her eyes were filled with anger – since when did it become a woman’s place to boss her around?
She merely returned to prevent her world from falling to the Otherworld, nothing more!
Lady Sun, who was frozen in fear by Qhianqhian’s murderous gaze, and the others who were shocked by Qhianqhian’s audacity, were silent for a moment.
After a brief pause, Fang Enze finally spoke, "Qianqian, stop this."
Qhianqhian looked at Old Master Fang and saw no blame in his eyes, only a hint of helplessness. She took a deep breath, waved her small hand, and retrieved the four daggers back into her hand. Tossing them into the air, they vanished, actually stored back into her ring.
"This child... are you a bit too strong?" Old Master Wei’s eyes glimmered as he looked at Qhianqhian.
Qhianqhian chuckled, "I suppose I am compared to before."
Lady Sun was entirely frozen at this point, not daring to say anything further.
Why? Because the department she belongs to is much more mysterious than theirs, and not something one can enter simply through effort!
Everyone except Lady Sun understood Qhianqhian’s strength, naturally not provoking her, but there’s always someone who can’t see clearly.
Lady Sun always believed her son was a prodigy, the finest existence, which made her proud that he could hold a high position in the nation’s secret department at such a young age.
However, discovering that Qhianqhian was young and received better treatment than the son she takes pride in made her very uncomfortable.
She never considered that the treatment received by someone here is closely related to their own strength.
No matter who your father is, who your grandfather is, how much wealth your family has, or what great feats your ancestors achieved, what they see here is only the capability you represent personally.
And what Qhianqhian represents is not just her own strength, but also the most mysterious cultivation power.
"Deng Ming, later go out with Xiao Qianqian and have some practice." Elder Deng was full of enthusiasm.
Deng Ming had a bittersweet smile on his face; wasn’t this trouble? Asking him to go against Qhianqhian? He didn’t want to die...
And she’s a girl, a little girl...
Even winning would be an ungraceful victory, and losing... even more embarrassing.
Besides, the chance of losing is pretty high, so how could he accept it?
"Grandpa Deng, please don’t joke around. I’m dressed so nicely not to get into a fight. Using power would be bullying." Qhianqhian puckered her mouth, giving Deng Ming a glance as she naturally said, "I rarely get to dress so ladylike. Grandpa Deng, don’t ruin my image; I’ll play other things with Uncle Deng another day."
"Exactly, didn’t you see Xiao Qianqian in a dress?" Elder Wei hurriedly nodded, his heart full of puzzlement. Why did this little girl appear to have completely not grown up, still with a child’s face?
Her figure still seemed like a student’s; comparing Chang Xi and Qhianqhian, there’s simply no comparison...
She really was still a child despite always claiming maturity...
"Xiao Qianqian, what do you want to play?" Although Deng Ming was grateful to Qhianqhian for her rounding off, this didn’t mean he’d agree to any random ’contest’. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
In case he lost, it would indeed be too shameful...
"Hehe, shooting." Qhianqhian blinked, her face calm, "That’s something I can’t do at home."
Are you saying you usually fight at home when you’re bored?
Deng Ming made a strange face but agreed; as long as it wasn’t a physical contest, he could accompany her to practice.
After all... well, he’s getting older, not as strong as the young ones.
A meal ended just like this. Qhianqhian didn’t call Elvis to pick her up because Old Master Fang had Deng Ming send her back, also to retrieve the gift he deserved...
Clearly, he was quite envious of the gifts Elder Deng and Elder Wei received.
Deng Ming, too, was quite envious of the things Qhianqhian had, so he agreed decisively.
The difference was... in other people’s eyes, this was both protection and a warning, especially for Commander Sun, who had a feeling this was a warning from the leader.
After getting in the car, he sternly warned Lady Sun and forbade her from going to the lab again to prevent her from causing trouble for their son.
If she offended people, affecting their son’s future, wouldn’t that be...
His current position was also obtained because of his son’s experiments, and he couldn’t afford to lose it all because of her offenses!
At this point, Lady Sun hadn’t yet recovered from her shock, but upon hearing Commander Sun’s words, she frowned, "What are you saying? I am also officially part of the lab staff! It’s not your place, Commander Sun, to tell me what to do."
However, after a moment, her eyes lit up as she looked at Commander Sun, "But that little girl is young and capable, with our son..."
"Stop right there! She’s not someone you can covet!" Commander Sun was a bit speechless at his wife’s wild imaginations. Should he have listened to his father’s advice to find a woman of equal family status?
Who did she inherit this attitude that the world revolves around her from? Hopefully, their son... wouldn’t follow suit.
