Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 366 - 348: Compensation?

Chapter 366: Chapter 348: Compensation?

Lu Xunhuan nodded and took out the items from his bag, "I came here right after I was done, since there aren’t many days left anyway. I don’t have any other schedule coming up and thought it would be good to come and share some of my everyday experiences with you."

Luo Yanran secretly cursed, wondering why on earth he had brought the person here for a discussion yesterday. Was this digging his own grave?

Luo Qianqian squinted her eyes and observed Lu Xunhuan. Since he was already in front of her, there was no need to avoid him; after all, one could hide on the first day but not on the fifteenth.

Lu Xunhuan let Luo Qianqian observe him without any reservations, even turning around under her eyelids, "Is the lady satisfied with my appearance?"

Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched, then returned to normal in a flash, "Apart from being a bit old and not having very vibrant skin, the rest is okay." Then she curled the corners of her mouth, "Is Uncle Lu here looking for my brother? If so, you should go to his office. My sister and I have something to talk about."

"I was originally looking for him, but now I’m looking for you," Lu Xunhuan raised an eyebrow.

Luo Yanran’s face darkened instantly. Even if it was a senior, he wouldn’t allow anyone to bully his sister in front of him.

Just as he was about to intervene, he heard Luo Qianqian say, "Is it about finding a way to get some minor cosmetic procedures?" Watching the surprised looks from the three, Luo Qianqian calmly continued, "Don’t worry about this minor issue, the three of us will keep it under wraps. I actually know someone who can not only take care of wrinkles, saggy skin, and eye bags but also change your skin, your face, even your brain if you need it." Luo Qianqian unabashedly repeated Hu Si’s sarcastic remark.

Luo Yanran bowed his head with his shoulders shaking, not wanting to see how dark Lu Xunhuan’s face would turn.

However, Lu Xunhuan didn’t look the least bit offended and seemed to tolerate her words, "Is that so? Introduce him to me next time. I might even earn a referral fee."

Luo Qianqian furrowed her brow, finding him too abnormal. She shivered, feeling goosebumps falling off her like sacks of them. It was already May.

Looking at Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran, Luo Qianqian’s face grew cold, "Uncle Lu, if you have something to say, please speak directly."

Lu Xunhuan chuckled and sat down next to Luo Qianqian, "I do like it when you call me Uncle. Your father and I owe each other life-saving favors, and we consider each other as equals. If you call me ’brother’ or ’male god,’ I really wouldn’t know how to respond."

Luo Qianqian waited incredulously for Lu Xunhuan to continue, while Luo Yanran’s mouth hung open in shock and Qin Nuan observed Lu Xunhuan’s expression calmly, though she was also astonished inside.

"My father?" Luo Qianqian didn’t believe a word, not to mention that she had never seen her elusive father—even if she had, it wouldn’t stir any feelings.

"Yes, Xi Yue was a good person. Your eyebrows and nose are similar to his," Lu Xunhuan smiled, "You might not believe it, and I’m not at liberty to explain, but I also only recently heard that he had two children. Otherwise, I would have made a point of coming to see you sooner. This opportunity to get close to the Luo Family couldn’t be missed, so I came right away to curry favor."

Luo Yanran looked at the man who wore a serious face, thinking about the numerous domestic and international awards he had won and the world’s acclaim for his acting. Frowning, Yanran thought that if it were anybody else, he might have believed these words. But coming from Lu Xunhuan, he couldn’t believe it. He had acted in dramas himself, and getting into character to impersonate someone wasn’t that hard. Could it be that someone behind Lu Xunhuan had scripted this?

Thinking again, it seemed impossible. To employ someone of his stature to play this act would be time-consuming, costly, and always at risk of being exposed.

Meanwhile, Luo Qianqian was thinking about something completely different: She really did resemble a man in some ways. No wonder she was so impetuous all the time—it must be inherited.

In the distance, An Zilan suddenly sneezed, looking utterly confused.

"Help always has a reason, but has anyone promised you any reward? My Luo Family can give you double," Luo Yanran decisively spoke up. Although he usually appeared carefree, it didn’t mean he would drop the ball on such serious matters.

"A reward? There is something I want," Lu Xunhuan said with a smile as he looked at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian: "..." Please don’t say you want the Luo Family. With that thought, she shuddered.

Qin Nuan: "..." Is he considering recognizing her as his goddaughter? Could there be some illness or special habit? Qin Nuan was greatly interested.

Luo Yanran: "..." Just as suspected, he’s an old man after young grass!!! Luo Yanran was furious.

"What is it?" In the end, it was Luo Qianqian who opened her mouth, "I just hope Mr. Lu doesn’t harbor any ill intentions towards the Luo Family. We three will do our best to help you get the appropriate reward."

Lu Xunhuan laughed, "You three are not necessary, just you alone will suffice."

"?!!!" Luo Yanran jumped up: "Don’t even think about being the old ox eating young grass. My Qianqian is betrothed, her fiancé is from the Xu Family, and he certainly wouldn’t fancy an old guy like you!!!"

"???" Xu Family? Fiancé? How come she doesn’t know about it? Luo Qianqian looked at Luo Yanran in amazement.

"..." Don’t start making things up, dear. Qianqian’s problem isn’t solved yet, so stop adding to the chaos... Qin Nuan was mentally crying, what a pig-headed teammate.

"You’ve misunderstood, I hope that after this is over, Qianqian can accompany me to the place where Xi Yue passed away to pay her respects. Of course, if you want to come, that’s also possible," Lu Xunhuan laughed, his eyes full of mischief, finding Luo Yanran a fun kid indeed.

"To pay respects..." Luo Yanran was speechless; this kind of thing wasn’t under his control.

Luo Qianqian glanced at Qin Nuan, then nodded: "All three of us will go. But Mr. Lu, we can’t go until next month. I have to attend the college entrance exams."

Lu Xunhuan nodded. He naturally knew about this; he had been shocked when he first got hold of Luo Qianqian’s information. Such a young girl with astonishing talent.

"Then we agree. I hope Mr. Lu keeps his word and won’t look for other excuses to approach the Luo Family," Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, her face full of caution. Don’t think just because he said those words, she would trust this old kid. For all she knew, this could be an earth-shattering conspiracy.

"Don’t worry, the only things I find worthy of interest in the Luo Family are you and Luo Shufan," Lu Xunhuan chuckled, "Have fun, I’ll go down for a coffee." Looking at the messy office, Lu Xunhuan had achieved his goal and naturally would not stay any longer.

Watching Lu Xunhuan leave on his own, Luo Qianqian narrowed her eyes: "It seems like he never mentioned going to find my brother, which means he knows my brother has disappeared?"

The fact that Luo Shufan had gone missing was not widely known among the social elites of Capital City because the siblings didn’t often attend such gatherings and didn’t care much about them. So, there were even some people who were unclear about the existence of these two in the Luo Family.

Luo Yanran anxiously grabbed Luo Qianqian: "Qianqian, he’s not a good person. Look at his eyes, they’re too sinister. Stay away from him, okay?"

Lu Xunhuan, who hadn’t completely left outside the door, stumbled a couple of steps from Luo Yanran’s loud voice before getting on the elevator, helplessly watching the elevator doors close. He was a good person, but alas, these little brats didn’t believe it. Was it his fault then?
