Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 991 - 971: Nine Heavens Pavilion Branch Store
Ever since she showed her skills in class, the old guy became even more relentless in persuading Luo Qianqian to switch classes. Even if she couldn’t switch classes, he suggested changing to a better school and offered to make introductions.
You had to admit, he was a good teacher.
But being in a lagging class wasn’t something new to Luo Qianqian, and she wasn’t afraid of it.
On this day, Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi took two classes off to sneak a peek at the opening of the Nine Heavens Pavilion.
Since people suspected she would come back, she brazenly returned and introduced the store’s treasure, the Spirit of Jade. The price? A whopping five hundred million, the store’s treasure.
Now that many people have bought it, its effects have been widely circulated, and the results are visible.
And for such a small store opening, they even invited a deputy governor or something. Isn’t that a bit intimidating?
Since Luo Qianqian couldn’t show up, Luo Xiying directly brought Bai Yixian to pretend to be the store owner, as the store was under his name anyway.
Seeing Luo Xiying coolly dealing with those high officials, and Bai Yixian socializing with a smile on the side, Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but laugh out loud: "Looks like there’s nothing to worry about, I’ll buy some snacks and head back to class."
"Okay." Tang Tianyi naturally agreed, bought a pack of snacks, hailed a taxi, and headed back, sneaking into the classroom during the break.
"Hey? Where did you guys go? The old man was just looking for you, he couldn’t find you but looked relieved, you’re not transferring schools, are you?" Lu Mei returned from the restroom and saw Luo Qianqian sitting at her seat, looking surprised.
Qian Xi casually tossed a burger to Lu Mei: "I had a stomach ache this morning, so my brother took me to the hospital. Turns out, after some checks, I was just hungry, so he bought a bunch of food for school."
Lu Mei almost couldn’t hold back her laughter. Going to the hospital for a stomachache only to find out you’re just hungry? How adorkable are these siblings?
"I didn’t eat either, give me one." A boy in front saw Lu Mei naturally eating and extended his hand with a grin.
Luo Qianqian calmly handed him a bag of chips: "No tomato sauce, just make do."
No matter what, giving him something was still good. The boy thanked happily, munching on the fries.
"Hey, brother, eat breakfast before sleeping." Luo Qianqian nudged Tang Tianyi. Funny, she had to deal with these people, Tang Tianyi could just sleep. If it were ordinary sleep, it would be fine, but this guy actually researched a way to cultivate while lying down. How could she stand this?
Tang Tianyi got up with a chuckle, having known that during break time, Luo Qianqian wouldn’t let him cultivate in peace, so he had only laid down.
He took the burger Luo Qianqian offered and ate it calmly.
Both had already eaten breakfast, but having some more was no harm.
After eating, the class bell rang.
The old man came in to see Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi back in their seats, looking frustrated at their unremarkable performance.
But he didn’t stir up trouble. That one question had already proved Luo Qianqian’s competence.
A while into the class, the classroom was still buzzing. This was the norm in class, and Luo Qianqian had become accustomed to it. But at that moment, the classroom door was forcefully kicked open, a boy with a lollipop swaggered in.
He scanned the room and pointed at one boy: "You, come out with me!"
Luo Qianqian looked surprised, first, the boy wore a uniform as neat as hers and Tang Tianyi’s, second, he wasn’t one of those brightly dyed hair kids in sight, but with a neat black buzz cut.
The class suddenly went quiet, the boy stood up trembling, looking anxious around.
At this moment, the previously mentioned ’Big Sister’ girl stood up: "Isn’t this Brother Long? How did someone from our class offend you? I’ll apologize on their behalf?"
"Wang Xue, step aside, my girl got hit on by this little punk... huh, when did your class have such a girl like you?" The boy glanced disdainfully at Wang Xue, then looked menacingly at the boy, but got distracted, spotting Luo Qianqian with her pristine uniform and neat hairstyle resembling a middle schooler: "Hey, what’s your name?" He said, staring straight at Luo Qianqian, walking directly towards her.
The old man immediately panicked: "Wang Long! Stand still, we’re having class!"
In the entire sophomore year class seven, he saw only this one promising student. If even she got involved in trouble, who would he turn to for help?
"What class?" Wang Long didn’t care about the old man’s anger, casually leaning on Luo Qianqian’s desk, picking up her neatly stacked textbook: "Deng Yuran?"
Lu Mei burst out laughing. It’s rare to find someone who can’t read to this extent, especially a high schooler. Truly makes one wonder how he even got into high school with those scores.
"Deng Yuqi." Luo Qianqian’s voice was cold.
"Heh... Qi, is it..." Wang Long scratched his head, a slight embarrassment appearing on his face.
This was rare in the eyes of the sophomore class seven. He was someone who wouldn’t flinch in a fight, feeling awkward? Such an expression appearing on his face? How bizarre.
"Out." Tang Tianyi was speechless. Seriously, how did this unrelated Luo Qianqian catch his eye? He couldn’t ’sleep’ anymore, straightened up, and met Wang Long’s gaze, without a hint of fear.
"Oh? And who are you? Getting bold here?" Wang Long immediately pulled a fierce face, reaching out to grab Tang Tianyi’s collar, Luo Qianqian immediately blocked his chest.
She stood up to confront Wang Long, face stern.
Unfortunately, her height was insufficient. Small as she was, standing before the already tall Wang Long, sitting or standing made no difference.
She stepped onto a chair, staring directly at Wang Long’s face: "My brother’s business is none of your concern! Try touching my brother!"
"Hah?" Wang Long darkened his face. He liked her, sure, but a girl who gave him no face as a boss, this was the first. Knowing his identity and still like this, was this a play hard to get?
"Girl, don’t you know what it means to stop while you’re ahead?" Wang Long withdrew his hand from Tang Tianyi and grabbed Luo Qianqian’s chin, leaning slightly closer: "Being pretty is just being a woman, you think..." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Lu Mei, move!" Luo Qianqian immediately darkened her face, shouted.
Lu Mei instinctively stood up, leaned against the back wall.
Luo Qianqian directly punched Wang Long in the face, Wang Long staggered, falling onto Lu Mei’s desk, nose bleeding profusely.
Lu Mei’s deskmate jumped up high, fleeing into the arms of a boy in the aisle.
That boy also got frightened, holding Lu Mei’s deskmate, shivering.
Tang Tianyi’s eyes darkened slightly, this scene was earlier than they had anticipated.
They had originally intended to observe for a month to understand the situation, but now it seemed they didn’t have much time to learn more.
This Wang Long was intended as one of their targets anyway, so it wasn’t entirely unprovoked, since he practically delivered himself.
