Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack - Chapter 998 - 978: Tiger Head Gang’s Number 2
A glamorous woman yawned as she opened the door. Seeing the items on the ground, she widened her eyes in surprise, carefully looked around, then quickly picked up the items, full of tension, picked up the envelope, and shut the door.
In no time, a stern-faced man appeared, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. Finding nothing unusual, he left with a ferocious demeanor.
Meanwhile, Luo Qianqian was quietly listening to music and drinking red date, goji berry, and silver ear soup at home.
"What’s this?" Looking at the bracelet that suddenly appeared on the table, Luo Qianqian looked at Tang Tianyi with a face full of confusion.
She vaguely remembered that not long ago, Tang Tianyi had also given her a bracelet, which she later put in a drawer because she was with Jimo Cheng.
"It’s a little trinket. If you’re in danger, break it, and I’ll be able to sense it." Tang Tianyi spoke calmly, sitting down beside Luo Qianqian.
The two of them ate in silence, Luo Qianqian quietly drinking her blood-boosting food, her face full of sorrow.
If only this were a game world, she thought, she could find a Shaman who could restore her to full health with a single skill. Why worry about losing health points?
Unfortunately, in this world, there are pet eggs that drink blood, defy gravity, and can fly in the sky, but no such skills. Restoring blood has to be gradual.
At least, Luo Qianqian thought, her period hadn’t come yet. Otherwise, being someone who loses blood every month and has to draw blood from herself to give to others... it would be a tall tale!
All she could do was hope this egg would hatch before she became an adult, as it couldn’t possibly be just an egg.
The next day, when she arrived at school, she immediately saw Wang Xue looking at her with a strange expression.
Luo Qianqian just raised an eyebrow, not paying much attention.
Lu Xue looked at Luo Qianqian with a nervous expression, "Xiao Qi, were you okay yesterday?"
"What happened to me?" Knowing someone had schemed, Luo Qianqian didn’t take it seriously, her face showing nothing amiss.
After all, if the tactics of these high school students could harm her, it wouldn’t be the first time she’d seen blood.
"I heard you jumped off a building?" Lu Xue’s deskmate looked nervous, "Yesterday, Wang Xue said in the group that she’d teach you a lesson. Then, at night, news came out that you had jumped off a building and broken your leg. We thought you wouldn’t make it today."
Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow, calmly imitating Wang Xue. She went to the front of the class, kicked a leg onto the teacher’s desk, rolled up her school uniform pants, and lightly ran her fingers across her leg, her face innocent and unscathed: "My leg is perfectly fine. Thank you all for your concern. Those who spread rumors and create trouble will face severe legal consequences. The juvenile protection law won’t protect those who intentionally cause harm."
After speaking, she withdrew her slender long leg, looking relaxed and at ease.
With a carefree demeanor, she returned to her seat. As she passed Wang Xue, she didn’t forget to snicker, "You can still sit, huh?"
Wang Xue had no outlet for her anger. Looking at the cushion under her butt, she was speechless. Why mention this? She had no way to refute.
In the evening, Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi were suddenly surrounded by a group of young people wearing vests, exposing tattoos, and having hair of various colors.
"Deng Yuqi?" The leader, holding a table leg, looked provocative, "Come with us?"
"Why should I?" Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, full of disdain, "Walking with you lowers my standard. Bro, let’s go eat." She said, taking Tang Tianyi’s arm, calmly walking away, not paying these people any attention, not putting them in her eyes at all.
Her face clearly showed her disdain, which also made the point clear.
"Did our boss say you could leave?" The little brother behind the leader quickly blocked Luo Qianqian, with a table leg horizontally in front of Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi.
Luo Qianqian looked disgusted, as if it were a virus, and took out a tissue, using it as a buffer to push it away from her.
"Wow, is your boss amazing? What’s it to me?" She said with a roll of her eyes, not being polite at all.
"Humph." Tang Tianyi suddenly turned around, and with a kick, his foot stretched across the neck of a person raising a wooden stick behind him. If the person went forward, Tang Tianyi would kick him.
Tang Tianyi’s kick brought a gust of wind that blew up the bangs of the person trying to ambush them, and cold sweat slid down.
"Scram!" Tang Tianyi kept his cool demeanor, slowly drawing back his leg.
Luo Qianqian suddenly acted as if she just realized, crying out loudly: "Wow, bro, someone wants to hit me, boo-hoo, beat them up. Come on, come on, let my brother beat you guys!"
Swept by Luo Qianqian’s provocative gaze, the group of people lowered their heads without exception.
The person who initially blocked them also quietly retreated into the crowd.
The two of them left calmly: "Bro, I want to eat the rice noodles from that place up ahead."
"Okay." Tang Tianyi nodded.
As they watched the two leave, the little brother who had blocked them earlier swallowed nervously, "Boss, what now?" Clearly, he was one of the boss’s capable subordinates.
"Pah!" The ’boss’, who admitted his speed wasn’t faster than Tang Tianyi’s, spat on the ground in frustration, knowing he couldn’t block that kick either, "Call over there, didn’t they go to the rice noodle shop ahead?"
Having left a trail, Luo Qianqian pouted, sighing: "We originally wanted to eat at home, but it looks like we’ll have to make do outside again."
"It’s fine, I’ll cook for you when we get back," Tang Tianyi said calmly, "It must be the Tiger Head Gang coming over."
"Definitely." Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, "Moreover, it’s meant to threaten me to compensate for Nine Heavens Pavilion’s losses."
"And, those words surely couldn’t have come from Wang Long." Tang Tianyi pondered for a moment, coming to a conclusion, "It should be Wang Xue’s sister saying it."
"If it’s not her, it’s Wang Xue. How many people have I offended? They’re all related to her. Do I have a grudge with her?" Luo Qianqian pouted, looking innocent.
"You’re just looking for trouble." Tang Tianyi’s voice was soft, yet both could hear it.
Luo Qianqian puffed up her cheeks, locking eyes with Tang Tianyi for a moment before both burst into laughter.
They stayed in the rice noodle shop for over half an hour, finishing their meal before those they were waiting for finally showed up, prompting Luo Qianqian to lament their efficiency, sighing and shaking her head.
If this were anything major, wouldn’t it be delayed?
Actually, it wasn’t entirely their fault. The time school let out coincides with rush hour. It was unavoidable.
With traffic and some distance to cover, their speed was actually quite rapid.
They were worried the two would finish their meal and head home, so they hurried anxiously and were relieved to still find them in the shop.
They never expected these two to be deliberately waiting for them.
"Come with us!"
The people this time were obviously more professional than before. If the initial group were at the hoodlum level of school, these now were street-savvy ones.
After all, what they held weren’t table legs.
