Chapter 339: Chapter 321: Exposure

It wasn’t even four o’clock when Luo Qianqian was startled by a call from Luo Xiying, "Qianqian, where are you? I’ll come to pick you up."

"What’s up?" Luo Qianqian glanced at her wristwatch, frowning.

"You met Xu Xiaoxiao today, didn’t you?" Xu Tianyi’s tone was declarative, not interrogative, which made Luo Qianqian feel a chill in her heart.

"Yes..."

"Now Old Master Xu and your grandfather are drinking tea, and they asked me to come pick you two up." Luo Xiying massaged her forehead, who could have guessed so much would happen in just one day?

"The two of us? Me and Tianyi?" Luo Qianqian sounded slightly panicked. No way, caught for puppy love???

"Who else could it be, you and a wheelchair? Where are you?" Luo Xiying sighed, her voice a bit softer, "You and that boy is still manageable, but explaining your injury is going to be tougher."

"How about I just pretend to be normal and go? Standing on my leg isn’t really an issue." Luo Qianqian felt completely overwhelmed. The last thing she wanted her family to know, all because of that jerk Xu Xiaoxiao, was now exposed.

"Give it up, Xu Xiaoxiao sent out photos, your grandfather already knows about your injury, and now he looks terrifyingly angry." Luo Xiying sighed, "Give the phone to Tianyi."

Xu Tianyi had been clueless all along, and as he watched Luo Qianqian hand him the phone, he hurriedly took it. "Hello?"

"Tianyi, stop letting Qianqian fret, where are you guys? I’m coming to find you." Hearing Luo Xiying’s somewhat helpless voice, Xu Tianyi looked at the bewildered Luo Qianqian and then gave out their location.

"Alright, wait there, and meanwhile...think about how to explain this. The Old Master just called and asked Qianqian’s uncle and Second Uncle to come back too..." Luo Xiying got into the car, seeing Yue Tingyu standing at the door looking worriedly at him, he quickly wound down the window and waved his hand.

"Alright." Xu Tianyi said, and then the phone was hung up.

Luo Qianqian looked at Xu Tianyi with a wronged expression, "I told you your sister was no good, see, now we’re done for..."

"There, there." Xu Tianyi half-knelt in front of Luo Qianqian, their eyes level, grasping her head, "Don’t think about all that. It’s good you know, the plan you made today also involves the Luo family, and you’re still recovering. Grandfather won’t do much to you, at most I’ll take the punishment for you."

Luo Qianqian felt even more aggrieved. The plan wasn’t even involving her but the Luo Family, what was this mess now: "I hate Xu Xiaoxiao, really hate her, wish she’d just disappear quickly."

Xu Tianyi nodded repeatedly, his face earnest: "Yes, yes, she’s the worst, let’s beat her to death, making our beloved Xiao Qianqian cry."

"Pfft." Watching Xu Tianyi seriously say these ridiculous words, Luo Qianqian laughed, then looked at him with slight hesitation: "Big shot, I guess you won’t be able to flirt with other girls anymore." Though the tone was apologetic, the smugness in her eyes was undeniable.

Xu Tianyi shook his head with a smile: "Just having one of you is enough, I don’t have the energy to fuss. It’s not like raising kids where you worry about this and that all the time."

Luo Qianqian gestured mysteriously to Xu Tianyi: "Come here, I have a secret to tell you."

Xu Tianyi looked around suspiciously, is there anyone else in the room? Do we need to whisper right into the ear? But he moved closer to Luo Qianqian regardless, not resisting the intimacy with her.

Luo Qianqian gazed at Xu Tianyi’s fuzzy-headed large head, unhesitatingly held it, kissed his smooth cheek with a smack, and then with blushing cheeks said, "I’ve stamped you, you can’t flirt with anyone else, I’ve reserved you."

Xu Tianyi’s ears also turned a bit red, his eyes became very tender as he looked at Luo Qianqian, just about to do something, when there was a knock on the door...

——

"Luo Qianqian, are you asking for a beating?!" When Luo Qianqian and Xu Tianyi were brought back to the Luo family by Luo Xiying, Old Master Luo was almost exploding, his face turning red. Old Master Xu had already gone back; Xu Tianyi was always independent, and he didn’t need to worry about him. If Xu Tianyi could get connected with the Luo family, he would wish for nothing more.

"Grandpa..." Luo Qianqian saw Old Master Luo and immediately burst into tears. She really didn’t intend to cry, but the grievances of the past few months made her indulge herself when she saw her family.

Yue Tingyu immediately came forward, covering Luo Qianqian’s legs with a blanket, watching as Xu Tianyi pushed her into the room; the winter sun had already set.

"Grandma." Luo Qianqian held Yue Tingyu’s hand, tears dripping down incessantly.

"Oh, don’t cry, don’t cry," she said, dabbing Luo Qianqian’s tears with a handkerchief, and then glaring at Old Master Luo, "The child just came back and you start shouting, what if you scare Qianqian?"

Then she nodded at Xu Tianyi, "Tianyi, you must be tired, please sit down."

Xu Tianyi shook his head, "Thank you, Grandma."

"Hmph," Old Master Luo snorted coldly, "We’ll leave the matter of your puppy love aside for now, what happened to your leg? Stop crying and speak up quickly!"

Seeing Old Master Luo’s body had also become thinner, Luo Qianqian knew her brother’s situation had caused the Luo family much worry and quickly shook her head.

She said, "Grandpa, I was hit by a car, then Tianyi insisted I come here because the facilities are better in Capital City."

However, no sooner had she spoken than Old Master Luo slapped the table and stood up, "You continue to talk nonsense, you don’t plan to tell the truth, do you?"

The sound of a car, and then, "Dad, I found it... uh uh... Qianqian..." Luo Qianqian’s Second Uncle, holding a folder, came rushing inside from outside.

"Give it here." Luo Guohui, seeing Luo Qianqian looking down in silence, grew even more suspicious, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

Luo Xiying hurried forward, snatching the folder, "It’s tiresome to use the eyes all the time; I’ll read it and then recount it to Dad."

Upon opening the folder, seeing Luo Xiying’s constantly changing expressions, Luo Qianqian felt even more uneasy.

"What the heck, are you kidding? Qianqian had to suspend school due to poor grades? She applied for graduation after the college entrance exam, what kind of investigation was this?" Luo Xiying exaggeratedly threw down the folder.

Xu Tianyi pinched Luo Qianqian’s face, urging her to look at the paper Luo Xiying had tossed into her view. It clearly was a photocopy of an ID card, with Ye Meng’s photo on it.

Her face grew even paler.

Luo Yanwu also saw it and hurried forward, rapidly tearing it up, muttering indignantly, "Who checked this? Slander! Absolute slander!"

Old Master Luo’s gaze was indescribable, "Why didn’t anyone mention that something happened on Qianqian’s side?"

Luo Xiying’s face darkened; she had indeed forgotten about that incident.

"I didn’t want to worry Grandpa..." Luo Qianqian cooed sweetly, her soft, sticky voice sounding all the more guilty to Old Master Luo’s ears.

"Laoer, speak," Old Master Luo said, not even glancing at Luo Qianqian, who was acting pitiful, and his son and grandson, who were trying to cover up for her.

"...It’s probably just as it appears..." Looking at Luo Qianqian’s expression, he too felt embarrassed to say much more.
