Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 945 - 925: Did Tang Tianyi Get an Apple?
In the blink of an eye, Christmas Eve had arrived.
"Qhianqhian, what are you doing?" Yue Tingyu looked at her granddaughter, who hadn’t been home for a long time, dressed in a bright red outfit, wearing a big white beard and a little red hat. No matter how you looked at it, she didn’t look like Santa Claus at all...
Luo Qianqian dressed up like this to hide her scars. Even if she used fake skin, it wouldn’t prevent people from noticing if they looked closely.
"Hehe, Grandma, you wouldn’t understand. This is Santa Claus, who specializes in giving gifts. You guys should hang stockings on your beds, and I’ll go deliver the gifts." As she spoke, Luo Qianqian patted the big bag behind her, which was filled with stuff and looked quite hefty.
After attending a company party with his wife, Luo Xihan also came over and couldn’t help but chuckle at Luo Qianqian’s outfit: "I wonder if you have anything for your Second Uncle?"
"Of course I do." Luo Qianqian giggled, "But if the sock is too small to fit it, then I won’t give the gift." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Luo Yanran immediately wailed and turned to Jia Ning: "Hey, do you have any stockings?"
"Are you going to rob a bank?" Jia Ning looked utterly bewildered.
"What if Qhianqhian prepared the biggest one for me? Then wouldn’t I not receive anything?" Luo Yanran quickly waved his hands. "The supermarket is already closed, Mom, do you have any? If not, I’ll go borrow some from Nuannuan."
Borrow from Qin Nuan?
Instantly, Luo Xihan, Jia Ning, and Luo Qianqian felt like Luo Yanran’s brain had been kicked by a donkey.
If not, how could he do something so brainless?
Who is Qin Nuan? She’s Luo Yanran’s girlfriend.
Borrowing stockings from a girlfriend? How could his mind not go there?
Fortunately, for this occasion, Jia Ning wore transparent stockings under her dress. Since she wore them, there had to be a spare pair in her bag.
She took out a brand-new pair of stockings and threw them directly at Luo Yanran: "If you scare away my future daughter-in-law, see if I don’t smack you!"
Luo Yanran chuckled awkwardly. Didn’t she have them all along? Why not give them to him directly?
He’s been so busy lately, he’d be heartless if Luo Qianqian didn’t prepare a gift for him.
He handled almost all external matters. Except when necessary, Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan were not involved. They had a Phoenix Jade Token sculpted from Emperor Green jade, based on the pattern of their Phoenix tattoo fake skin. Fang Youyuan borrowed their skin after completing the Rebirth series, upon hearing Luo Yanran’s intention.
Within a week, they received this huge surprise. Also, at the concealed location of each Phoenix was their initials, inscribed in different positions, barely noticeable unless looked at closely.
"Alright, everyone step aside, Santa Claus is going to deliver gifts!" Luo Qianqian said as she dragged her big bag through each room. After making the rounds, the bag was significantly smaller. Luo Qianqian smiled proudly, "Now I have to go deliver to Nuannuan, Fourth Brother, take me."
Luo Yanran knew well enough that Luo Qianqian wouldn’t spend the night at home, so as not to accidentally expose her wounds and worry the family.
He nodded, "I’ll check my gift first." With that, he ran to his bedroom where he had hung the stockings.
Moments later, he came down from upstairs, dragging two over-a-meter-long salted hams with a grim expression: "Qhianqhian, did you do this on purpose?"
Because he prepared stockings, she put hams in them???
Seeing what Luo Yanran had dragged down, Luo Xihan and Jia Ning couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"I originally planned to give something else, but it was too small to fill the stockings as well as these two did." Luo Qianqian said with a straight face, "Who told you to use such big stockings?"
It was obvious that she plotted against Luo Yanran.
After years of being together, how could Luo Qianqian not know this brother of hers? He was always the most enthusiastic about such things, it was basically setting a trap.
Even if Second Aunt didn’t have stockings, she would have gotten some, specifically bought for this.
"I’ll go check mine too..." Old Master Luo said with a look of excitement.
Once everyone returned to their rooms, Luo Qianqian finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Let’s go, Fourth Brother."
Luo Yanran cut a piece of salted ham and followed Luo Qianqian. After getting in the car, he looked at her indignantly: "Where did you get pocket money? Where would we have money in our hands? Did you embezzle funds?"
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, "Sorry, but I have other brothers."
In fact, Elvis gave her the money, as a Christmas gift, providing cash directly.
Using the excuse that she wasn’t good at picking gifts...
So the things she picked this time weren’t expensive, but each was carefully chosen.
This included the ones she sent back to Mom, Godmother, her younger brother, and Xiao Yu.
"Are you saying I’m no good?" Luo Yanran said in an aggrieved tone, "I’m exhausted, and you’re still dissatisfied with me. Do your brothers look exhausted to you?... They’re also tired... But are they doing it for you?"
"Fourth Brother, you’re doing it for yourself." Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes again, "These two hams were the most expensive!"
Two hams costing seven to eight hundred were a huge expense for someone who only had ten thousand yuan on them.
Upon arriving at Qin Nuan’s place, she gave gifts to all three siblings and then rushed to school, heading to the neighborhood opposite the campus.
First Elvis, then the discharged Lu Simiao and the chubby boy, both eating instant noodles at home, completely surprised by Luo Qianqian’s arrival...
"Are you used to day school?" Luo Qianqian calmly handed over gifts, removed her beard, and had instant noodles with them.
She inquired about them briefly, left money, and then turned to leave.
Lu Simiao frowned tightly: "Something seems off with Sister."
Finally, they reached the apartment. She had already visited the dorms, where she had bought a box of apples.
When she knocked on the apartment door, Tang Tianyi was surprised to see the little dwarf Santa standing before him: "What are you doing here?"
"Can’t I come?" Luo Qianqian just smiled: "By the way, here’s your gift." She smiled again and took out a small box, looking expectantly at Tang Tianyi.
Tang Tianyi opened the box under Luo Qianqian’s gaze, and his face did darken.
Apples? Apples symbolize friendship...
Luo Qianqian said with a smile, "If you take care of it well, it should last a lifetime."
Tang Tianyi nodded, picked up a box from the couch, and handed it to Luo Qianqian: "I bought this a while ago."
Luo Qianqian curiously opened the box and found a little gold Hello Kitty pendant inside. Although it wasn’t very valuable, it made Luo Qianqian smile.
The last time Jimo Xiao had also given her a Hello Kitty pendant.
Thinking of Jimo Xiao inevitably reminded her of Jimo Kong and... Jimo Cheng.
With a sigh, she walked to the window and looked at the moon hanging in the sky: "Do you think the moon abroad really looks the same as the one at home?"
