The old lady and her entourage had not yet reacted when Luo Shufan grabbed Luo Qianqian and followed Bai Yizhu, who was pushing Bai Yixian, to leave. Before leaving, Luo Shufan also greeted Lin Xu. Lin Xu was startled and took the advice, buying tickets for the old lady and her group to head ho. Then he went to look for An Zilan without ntioning what was happening with the kids.
"Eh? How co Big Brother Lin is here?" As she followed Bai Yizhu in the car to a villa, Luo Qianqian was surprised to see Lin Jiayou waiting in front of the villa. She looked around and asked, "Where’s Wang Wei?"
"Wang Wei will have to lay low for a while longer, but he’s already got soone shadowing him," Bai Yizhu said with a chuckle, helping Bai Yixian out of the car and into a wheelchair. "Bro, what do you feel like eating?"
"Eat my foot! Get so glucose!" Bai Yixian said irritably while giving Bai Yizhu a glance. Then he turned to Lin Jiayou, "You guys head back first. After all, it’s not good for you not to be ho for the happy occasion. If there’s anything, I’ll call you."
Luo Shufan frowned without saying a word, while Luo Qianqian protested urgently, "No way, Bai Yizhu doesn’t know how to take care of soone!"
"I don’t know how to take care of soone?" Bai Yizhu was taken aback and looked at Luo Qianqian with amusent, pointing at himself, "Who did I take care of for three years in elentary school?"
"Uh..." Luo Qianqian suddenly rembered that Bai Yizhu had always been the one to look after her. Even though it was just delivering als or impersonating a parent, he did intimidate those who used to bully her. "But taking care of a sick person is different from looking after a child."
"It’s okay, Qianqian. Look at this environnt, do you really think no one will take care of him?" Luo Shufan dragged Luo Qianqian by the arm out of the gate. "Then we’ll be going. We’ll co to see Big Brother Bai another day."
Bai Yizhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, facing Luo Qianqian was like a scholar eting a soldier, with no way to reason with her.
"Go see them off, and then call soone over to clean up." Bai Yixian, looking at Luo Qianqian’s worried face, couldn’t bear to be harsh, but thinking of what Bai Yizhu whispered to him earlier, it was better not to involve these minors.
"Okay, I’ll call Fatty in a while to have him follow closely and then bring soone over," Bai Yizhu nodded, picked up the keys, and followed Lin Jiayou’s steps, as it was not easy to get a taxi here.
"Call when things are settled," Luo Shufan said in a low voice to Bai Yizhu at the doorstep, watching his sister get out of the car, "I understand what you guys an. I’ll keep an eye on Qianqian. She’s just feeling too guilty."
"I know, don’t worry," After several years of knowing each other, Bai Yizhu and Luo Shufan understood each other well. Bai Yizhu never intended to keep Luo Shufan completely in the dark and nodded slightly in acknowledgnt.
Watching the car drive away, Luo Qianqian’s expression turned serious. "Brother, is Zhuzi planning on either locking soone up or silencing them for good?"
"Don’t talk nonsense," Luo Shufan’s face changed slightly before quickly returning to a stern look, said earnestly to his sister.
Seeing her brother’s expression, Luo Qianqian guessed sothing about the situation, such as why Wang Wei was not present, which seed to be a deliberate release in public view.
Luo Qianqian didn’t speak again. There were no signs of An Zilan and her group returning. Luo Qianqian looked at the chaotic ho and sighed softly, resignedly starting to clean up.
After changing clothes, she noticed her phone vibrating under the pillow. Taking it out, she saw five missed calls and one ssage. Three calls from Bai Yixian and Bai Yizhu were from the ti the incident occurred, two from—Xu Tianyi, the ssage was also from him:
Luo Qianqian, long ti no see.
It has been months since we last parted.
Congratulations to your mother for her new marriage, I wish Auntie and Uncle eternal love and happiness just like in the beginning.
```
Secondly, happy birthday to you.
I hope you make progress in your studies,
and co find during sumr break,
so we can play together. x² (y-³√x²)²=1.
Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched, how did even the people in a closed environnt know about her mom getting married? And that last part, isn’t that the equation of a heart curve? Is this how geniuses make cute symbols? Can’t they just make a ❤ instead? Suddenly, she felt like the ssage was full of disdain from the genius, not cute at all.
Luo Qianqian laboriously typed out a response, not bothering to ponder the equation, expressed her thanks, and then scurried back to cleaning the house.
"Mom?... Ah? They aren’t available right now, they’ve gone on errands... okay... then Qianqian and I will head over later... okay... mmhmm, bye mom." Shufan also answered a phone call, then turned to his sister and said, "Mom said we’re going for dinner tonight. Grandma and Auntie won’t be leaving; they’re staying at the hotel."
"I just changed clothes and was about to clean the house." Luo Qianqian pouted but then nodded her head, considering she hadn’t made much of an appearance in the afternoon and almost made things worse between her mom and her uncle’s mother, "Bro, do you think Uncle might say anything?"
"Big Brother Lin should have gone back by now; he probably won’t say anything. Did you call your classmates? And rember to repay mom the money you borrowed." Shufan resignedly began sweeping the floor, not understanding how all this trash, hair, scraps of paper, and even dirt had gotten into the house and onto the floor.
"Oh right." Luo Qianqian nodded, returned to her room to pack so cash in her backpack, feeling slightly amiss—for the cash at ho was also mom’s, using mom’s money to repay mom was indeed sothing she would do.
"Luo Qianqian, I’ve just realized, aren’t you a bit silly?" Shufan looked at the ssage on his phone with a forehead full of black lines. Why was she sending a ssage ant for soone else to him?
Luo Qianqian looked confused, and only when she saw her brother holding up his phone did she realize she sent it to the wrong person. She pouted, "Wasted one di. How are you going to compensate ?" Then she sent out the remaining ssages to her friends.
You’re the one with the nerve, what if you sent that to mom?" Shufan continued to sweep the floor helplessly.
"I’m not stupid." Luo Qianqian put away her phone, and helped her brother tidy up the house. It would be even more tiring to clean up when they got back later in the evening.
"What are you doing with all this candy?" Shufan asked, perplexed at his sister holding a big bag of fruit candies.
"For the little atball to eat; I don’t want any." Luo Qianqian pouted. "I wonder if anyone is suspicious about where we’ve been. I don’t even know how to explain."
"You’re the one to talk... it’s all because of you..." Shufan thought about finishing his sentence but decided against it to spare his sister’s feelings. Changing tact, he said, "But atball really is hard to please, much more trouble than you. He can’t sit still and loves to fake cry. It’s so annoying."
Luo Qianqian was stunned and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. How could her twenty-sothing-year-old soul engage in such truly childish behavior? But perhaps, in a previous life, she would have been no match for atball, who has always been a steady kid after becoming sensible.
"Bro, you should try saying that in front of Auntie and see how she exposes your bed-wetting and mischief-making past in front of Linlin." Luo Qianqian looked around the house, stuffed the keys into her bag, "I don’t know if godmom and the others have co back yet."
"Aren’t you speaking with Xiao Yu? I saw you didn’t go over to godmom’s table today; instead, you hung around your classmates’ table a few tis." Shufan frowned.
