Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 955 - 935: Threefold Tribunal?
"It’s all because of those short people from the Island country!" Qhianqhian pouted, "If he hadn’t poisoned and scratched me with the dagger, none of these troubles would have happened. And then there are ninjas, just like in cartoons..."
Following Qhianqhian’s words, Luo Xihan narrowed her eyes directly, "Does your Fourth Brother know?"
"..." Qhianqhian shrank her neck, not daring to speak.
She didn’t want to betray Fourth Brother, but it was unwise to speak now...
Silence, a complete silence.
So, when the car arrived at the Luo Family, before it stopped completely, Luo Xihan got out directly, standing at the door waiting for Luo Yanran.
Qhianqhian looked terrified, took out her phone from her small handbag, and called Qin Nuan.
"Nuannuan, quickly take Fourth Brother away, don’t let him come back!!"
"What’s going on? We just got off the car... uh..." Qin Nuan had just said that when she saw Luo Yanran, who had just gotten out of the car, getting punched to the ground. And the one who punched him was Luo Xihan, unsure whether to intervene or watch, "What happened?" She could only ask Qhianqhian what was going on.
"The makeup exposed my fake skin..." Qhianqhian smiled bitterly, hung up the phone, hurried off the car, not even having time to put on her down jacket, and stood in front of Luo Yanran, "Second Uncle, Fourth Brother is not wrong, if you want to hit, then hit me." She spread her arms to block Luo Xihan’s actions.
Luo Xihan, full of anger, snorted, threw her suit onto Qhianqhian, and turned to enter the house.
Qin Nuan also hurried out of the car, helping the fallen Luo Yanran.
It’s over...
Qhianqhian looked at Old Master Luo standing at the door, and this was her only thought.
"Should we run?" Qhianqhian turned her head, looking mournfully at Luo Yanran and Qin Nuan.
No one expected the next second, the car sped away in a cloud of dust, as if afraid they would really run away.
"It’s really Second Uncle’s driver’s doing! Hmph." Qhianqhian grumbled, supporting Luo Yanran with Qin Nuan into the house on either side.
Seeing Luo Xihan already sitting on the sofa, the top two buttons of her shirt undone, she clearly looked very displeased.
Qhianqhian shrank her neck, looking at Old Master Luo, "Grandpa..."
Old Master Luo still didn’t know what happened and quickly nodded, "What’s wrong? Did your Fourth Brother bully Nuannuan?"
Luo Yanran being beaten didn’t seem to have any reason. Bullying Qhianqhian? That was impossible; the lessons through time were too profound. Could it be bullying Nuannuan? Qin Nuan was already recognized as the granddaughter-in-law by the Luo Family, so Old Master Luo immediately put on a stern face.
"Uh..." Qhianqhian was speechless, blinking her eyes.
Could she say she knew but didn’t report it?
"Dad, you just don’t interfere, if they don’t get beaten now, they simply don’t put me, their own father, in their eyes." Luo Xihan gritted her teeth tightly.
Poison, knives, scratches, ninjas.
He knew each of those words, but when they came together, why was he left with only fear?
"What’s going on?" Yue Tingyu also came out, seeing the three standing at the door, each dressed thinly, quickly stepped forward and pulled them in, closing the door, with a face full of reprimand, "Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold? Qhianqhian, why aren’t you wearing a down jacket?"
Qhianqhian held Luo Xihan’s suit in one hand, still wearing a long shoulder-exposing dress, which made her frown repeatedly.
"Mom, just leave them be, they need the cold to clear their heads!" Luo Xihan almost gritted her teeth.
Jia Ning opened the door with Ye Qianying, full of doubt, "What’s going on?"
She held Qhianqhian’s down jacket in her hand, "Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold without wearing a down jacket? If you don’t take care of yourself now, you’ll have health issues when you’re older."
"Hey, what’s wrong with Fourth’s face?" Ye Qianying immediately sensed something was wrong. First, Luo Xihan left Jia Ning and Qhianqhian to walk together, and then Luo Yanran’s face unexpectedly had bruises, while Luo Xihan sat there with a livid face.
Today, due to keeping a low profile, both Jia Ning and Ye Qianying had put their Spirit of Jade in their handbags, whereas Qin Nuan rarely wore jewelry, so only Luo Xihan’s Spirit of Jade caught everyone’s attention.
After some flattery, it turned out that someone who was friendly with Luo Xihan also wore the Spirit of Jade.
Originally, she was very happy, but so much happened in a blink of an eye, how could she remain happy?
"Hmph." Especially because no one in the family knew about Qhianqhian’s injury, not even telling him! It made him snort coldly unintentionally.
Qhianqhian was silent for a moment, then knelt down, lowering her head, "Grandpa, Grandma, I’m sorry, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, I’m sorry."
After speaking, she silently lowered her head, not saying a word.
Luo Yanran was stunned for a moment, unsure whether to kneel or stand. Just as he was about to kneel, Old Master Luo pulled Qhianqhian up, "What’s wrong?" His voice full of concern.
Qhianqhian took a deep breath and peeled off the fake skin on her face, revealing the hideous scar.
"Qhianqhian!" Jia Ning’s legs almost went soft, quickly grabbing Qhianqhian’s shoulders, gently touching her cheek.
Qhianqhian smiled bitterly, not wanting to be discovered at all.
"What happened?" Old Master Luo gasped as he saw the scar on his granddaughter’s face.
Yue Tingyu staggered directly, almost falling, but was caught in time by Ye Qianying.
"It’s actually healed a lot." Qhianqhian smiled bitterly, even mentioning that Qin Nuan didn’t dare to look at it before it was stitched!
"Grandpa, I promise, this will be gone before eighteen. Right now... it’s actually quite good." Qhianqhian said, looking at Luo Xihan’s cold eyes, lowered her head awkwardly.
"Dad, please don’t look at Qhianqhian like that, no one wanted Qhianqhian to get hurt." Luo Yanran finally plucked up the courage to speak.
Qin Nuan nodded repeatedly, "Qhianqhian getting hurt is someone else’s responsibility, just that... the method of taking responsibility is different."
Just like the folder that Diwu Yan sent over, it contained two certificates.
Qhianqhian didn’t even look at them and simply tossed them into the drawer.
"What exactly happened?" Old Master Luo tightly clenched his fists, anger boiling.
"Grandpa, this is an international issue." Qhianqhian stubbornly shook her head, "In this house, even if I dared to speak, no one would dare to listen. I can only say my file is classified top secret."
Mentioning this, Luo Xihan’s face darkened, suddenly recalling previous events.
He had wanted to ask earlier but forgot after not seeing Qhianqhian.
Why couldn’t he find any property under Qhianqhian’s name? Now he had the answer.
Top secret files?
Even Luo Xiying, with the highest clearance in the family, was only Level One classified.
Yue Tingyu showed a face of despair, looking at the scar on her granddaughter’s face, filled with guilt, "If only I had protected your brother well..."
Ever since that incident, both Qhianqhian and Luo Shufan were beyond control, each event more bizarre than the last.
"Grandma..." Qhianqhian approached Yue Tingyu, gently leaning on her shoulder, "Neither my brother nor I regret our current choices."
