Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1781: Chapter 1761:

"I’m too lazy to explain, let Shiqi and the others come by tomorrow, saves me from having to say it twice," Lin Jiayou showed a face of weariness. It’s time to make things clear; just because she and the Eldest Princess are close friends doesn’t mean he has to waste time with her and the kids, right?

Besides, Shiqi and the others are taking care of the kids, they’re doing just fine without anyone worrying about them.

Luo Yanhai patted Lin Jiayou’s shoulder: "If you have any issues, don’t bear them alone, we’re all basically family here."

Lin Jiayou looked at Luo Yanhai gratefully and shook his head slightly: "Shiqi, they’re bearing much more..."

"Are you comparing yourself to them? They each think they’re superheroes with their own family, you think you’re comparable?" Luo Yanhai rolled his eyes with obvious disdain.

The soft, adorable little sisters of the past were so great, but now they’re never home. He can’t say much, though; their Combat Power exceeds that of all us brothers, and they can physically overpower us. What can he say? Saying too much would just embarrass himself, okay? He still prefers the sister from his childhood; though she’s good now too, it leaves him, as the big brother, without any sense of achievement!

"... Sounds quite reasonable." Lin Jiayou was stunned for a moment, then nodded as well.

Back then, he revered the Bai Family brothers like deities; he couldn’t compete with Big Brother Bai Bai Yixian, who was so famous, so he just followed the younger yet also very capable Bai Yizhu. What happened? Bai Yizhu became the sibling duo’s buddy, and eventually, his father became stepfather to the siblings, leaving him awkwardly unsure of how to act.

Fortunately, these two people aren’t ones to care about the past too much, otherwise... he’d probably be ruined by now.

Thinking back to the old family situation, and then the house with An Zilan’s family added in, it’s really completely different.

In the old family, if he and his father had a disagreement, they’d not see each other for ten days to half a month, and when they did, after ten days to half a month, just three sentences would spark a new fire. Now... at least his dad doesn’t get mad at him anymore. The stepmother is gentle, the little brother is cute.

And of course, there are reliable little brothers and sisters to help solve problems when issues arise.

The past is unbearable to recall, but fortunately, he didn’t make mistake after mistake.

"Oh right, since you’re free, help me pack the gift boxes for tomorrow, avoid any chaos." Luo Yanhai commanded without courtesy; after all, he was the shopkeeper, doesn’t he have the privilege to instruct people? Want to stay here, you must follow his lead!

Because... there’s already a group who doesn’t listen.

Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu need no mention, they don’t live here after all.

Qin Nuan, the twins’ mother, is the hero. Even when he asks Qin Nuan to pour some water, Luo Yanran, the brother who prioritizes romantic over familial relations, would glare at him for half a day...

Luo Yanran, even more, needs no mention, as he does nothing but cook.

Although he understands what these two mean, if they don’t get involved, this is his territory.

If they do get involved, things would seem odd, considering they’re of equal status in the Nine Heavens Pavilion.

Though understood, it’s still a bit helpless; these two are practically here to flaunt their romance, wanting him to eat a few tons of dog food each day to feel soothed.

"Okay." Lin Jiayou nodded and followed Luo Yanhai to get busy.

Early the next morning, Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu appeared, even carrying fresh fish.

"What are you two up to?" Early-riser chef Luo Yanran was shocked to see the two sitting in the courtyard.

Though the door wasn’t open, these two were adept at wall-climbing...

"Take this, make soup for my sister-in-law, last night we had some, tasted pretty good." Luo Qianqian was calm, turning to look at the chicken in He Wenyu’s hand: "That roasted chicken tastes good, make it for my sister-in-law too, of course, recommended with black pepper sauce, it’s delicious."

"Can’t you kill it before bringing it over?!" Staring at the basket under the chicken turning into charcoal, Luo Yanran was internally collapsing, though he had to admit, it seemed quite good after all, as it was plump.

"Freshly killed is the best, you cook now, I’ll slaughter." Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow, watching Luo Yanran nod, a dagger flashed from her hand severing the chicken’s head yet no blood from the neck emerged, instead, it seemed unaffected, with frost forming where she cut it, emitting cold air.

Luo Yanran inexplicably felt a sudden tightness in his groin, breaking out in cold sweat.

Even knowing Luo Qianqian wouldn’t actually do anything to him, he couldn’t sustain his fear.

"The fish you kill yourself, take it away."

Seeing the things brought by Luo Qianqian, the newly emerged Luo Yanhai was astonished: "Why not bring some fruits or something? What face does this leave us brothers?"

"... That won’t do, the goal is to grow thick skin, thick enough to be shoe soles," Luo Qianqian replied calmly: "In this world, only the shameless survive better, face belongs to the strong, whereas the face and dignity of the weak resemble the locks on the doors of poor folk’s cottages. Even left unattended, who’d bother with it, locked next door?"

Luo Qianqian showed a sincere face; what she dared not speak of but, face...

Discard it while weak, seek advice, lack shame at lowering oneself to learn, survive on the edge, until strong enough, to slowly retrieve what was once lost, then even without speaking, just by being present, others would show respectful acknowledgment; that’s when face becomes substantial. While weak, what kind of face can you bear?

At that moment, Luo Yanhai was stunned, staring dumbly at Luo Qianqian, wondering what experiences led to such words; with a mix of heartache and an unexplainable emotion, it surely couldn’t be from the brothers’ lack of ability?

"So, brother, doing business doesn’t need face, admit mistakes if needed, just don’t hurt yourself; as long as you’re safe, making losses is okay, once your reputation spreads, even without words, people will know you’re from Forget Worries Tea House." Luo Qianqian grinned, teeth showing: "Of course, some people truly shouldn’t be provoked, it’s just they haven’t emerged yet; meeting an unattainable person, even at a loss, don’t get hurt. Forget Worries Tea House can be rebuilt, but you cannot get a second chance."

Not everyone is as lucky as Luo Shufan, which is why even with Yan or Mo, she doesn’t regret one bit. To bring her brother back is more important than anything. Luo Shufan’s life is among the most crucial things to her.

Most importantly, both people are outstanding enough for her to admire.
