Luo Xihan touched his nose and didn’t say a word, he definitely didn’t want to be given the cold shoulder by his own wife and then have to sleep in the guest room at night.
Luo Qianqian blinked and chuckled to herself.
Seeing the teasing look in Luo Qianqian’s eyes, Jia Ning, carrying so eggs, went into the kitchen. Yue Tingyu, half genuinely and half pretentiously aggrieved, complained, "Mom, Qianqian is being naughty. You really should do sothing about it."
Ye Qianying, who followed into the kitchen and saw Luo Qianqian’s aggrieved expression, couldn’t help but snicker.
Jia Ning turned around and looked at the two of them, her face reddening. Tattling to the elders really made her feel like a child.
Initially, Yue Tingyu wasn’t so nice to her daughter-in-law, just like the typical mother-in-law relationship in many families, always finding fault over trivial matters. However, after the incident with her third son, her attitude did a complete one-eighty. After all, the person who would be by her son’s side for life wasn’t going to be her, already with one foot in the grave, but his wife. So, she started to treat her like her own child, getting along with her as if she were her own flesh and blood.
Yue Tingyu put down the cucumber she was holding and poked Luo Qianqian’s cheek, "You’re the mischievous one. I heard everything, even daring to joke about Second Aunt."
Luo Qianqian pouted her lips, "Three won make a drama, and I certainly don’t want to get involved. Grandma Zhang, you shouldn’t either, be careful or grandma might poke you." After saying that, she swiftly ran out of the kitchen.
Aunt Zhang is the nanny of the Luo family, usually cooking and cleaning. She’s not very talkative but seems nice enough.
At this mont, after hearing Luo Qianqian’s words, she also had a smile on her face.
"This child." Yue Tingyu shook her head and, after a mont, lifted her gaze, "She’s regained so of her liveliness, not as fake as the act she put on when she first ca back."
Jia Ning nodded her head, "Since she could eat at again, she has been much more spirited."
Ye Qianying raised her eyebrows in amusent, "You talk as if Qianqian is a pig. Happy as long as there’s sothing tasty to eat."
Yue Tingyu curled her lip, "Not far off. Indeed, happy as long as there’s at." She then dismissed the others, "Go on out, don’t let your clothes pick up the kitchen slls. The food will be ready shortly." She was pleased that Ye Qianying had changed her clothes specially for coming over, having forgotten to ntion that Qianqian was also there, as it seed Qianqian hadn’t arrived when she made the call, only inviting them two.
Li Xiancheng watched Luo Qianqian once again adopt a well-behaved deanor, massaging Old Master Luo’s back and thought she was entirely different from the mischievous child of monts before, but that was also the child he couldn’t completely figure out.
From the beginning, he couldn’t see through her; he didn’t know what was on the child’s mind.
However, he did know that the child ant no harm, and he was content to leisurely watch the show, considering it a form of entertainnt.
"That’s enough," Old Master Luo patted Luo Qianqian’s hand. "Sit down properly and tell how you and your brothers are planning things."
Luo Qianqian frowned, "This is classified information. You must guarantee it won’t be leaked before I can tell you."
Old Master Luo glared, "Who would I tell it to? Your grandma, or Da Bai in the community?"
Da Bai was a dog that often took itself out for walks, occasionally wandering into the villa area. When Old Master Luo was in a good mood, he would give it sothing to eat. Da Bai wasn’t picky and would eat whatever was offered.

Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, she had just tried to explain the importance of the issue seriously, yet it sohow angered Old Master Luo.
"Fine, fine... I’ll just say it," Luo Qianqian coughed lightly twice and outlined the main trajectory of the plan.
Luo Xihan frowned, "If this were to happen in the Capital City, I wouldn’t believe it either. How could we possibly move important things? If the office is rented, that’s a loss every minute."
Luo Qianqian nodded, "Exactly, many businesses have this attitude, so there’s no helping it. If you guys don’t believe it, then don’t believe it. Qin Wen has gone to the city to talk about a citywide disaster prevention exercise that lasts an hour, to spread common knowledge and possibly avert calamities. Although they’re difficult to speak to over there, Qin Wen still managed to talk them into it. It just depends on how forcefully they’ll implent it."
To her surprise, none of them doubted that a disaster would occur, as if they were certain it would happen. Luo Qianqian hesitantly asked, "Second Uncle, under these circumstances, aren’t you worried about Fourth Brother going over there?"
"What’s there to worry about? He’s grown up; can’t he take care of himself?" Plus, he was getting a head start.
"Let’s make a call afterward and ask Boss to report it upstairs, see if we can enforce an evacuation," Old Master Luo frowned.
"Qin Liang has already reported it, but the response from above is basically no response at all - they didn’t say it was good, and they didn’t say it was bad. The key is that there’s no sign at all, and absolutely no detection of any major disasters..." Luo Qianqian pouted her mouth, so that’s the difficulty since there are no signs. Not just the officials, soldiers, or businessn who won’t believe it, even she wouldn’t have been able to believe it if she didn’t know.
"And..." Luo Qianqian paused slightly, "although so people have believed it and have gradually started leaving by car or plane, over ninety percent think of it as a joke. More than half of them are completely ignorant about it..."
"So the concert is for your brother to emphasize this matter?" Li Xiancheng furrowed his eyebrows slightly, his tea-drinking paused, "Gifts given away in a lucky draw can attract housewives who stay at ho and elderly who do not surf the web, but it’s not possible for children and working employees."
"That’s why we need the exercise, what can I do if they don’t believe ?" Luo Qianqian frowned, even the TV didn’t report on it, even though Xihan had already held a press conference.
In everyone’s eyes, this was just a publicity stunt for attention, without many believing in it. They treated it like a joke and waited to see the fallout.
What they didn’t know was the extent of the social disaster this could cause: countless families torn apart, hos destroyed, lives lost, yet it was impossible to make everyone believe.
"Anyway, we’ve done our preparations; for the rest, we just do our best," Li Xiancheng sighed softly. He had never experienced sothing this big before, and now that it was right in front of him, he didn’t feel completely powerless.
"As much as that’s the case, it’s still annoying that they don’t listen, not heeding the old’s advice..."
"What’s wrong with not heeding the old’s advice?" Old Master Luo raised an eyebrow, looking at his granddaughter.
"Not heeding Grandpa’s adorable granddaughter’s words leads to imdiate losses," Luo Qianqian quickly corrected herself.
Luo Xihan chuckled, "I’ll transfer so money into your brother’s account in a bit, so he can buy so things in advance to keep on an open lot, in case we can’t eat when the disaster happens."
Luo Qianqian nodded; she had absolutely no objections to spending money in this regard.
"It seems there’s not that much we can do on our end either." After all, no one believes us, people can’t be mobilized, and resources can only be contributed to a small extent. People don’t care about their own safety; why would they co to us begging? Li Xiancheng was very dissatisfied with how things were being handled, preferring to err on the side of caution rather than disbelief.
Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, nodding in resignation.
