Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 136 - 135: Going Home (Second Update)

Fang Shaonan was a little moved, no one had ever spoken to him like this before, not even Bai Zhongyuan who would call him names whereupon he would want to punch him dead.

This was the first time someone had spoken so sincerely.

He Cui’s eyes suddenly filled with tears, what a lovable and good child this was.

Understanding and sensible, not chasing fame or fortune, and maintaining a calm demeanor in all things.

"You mean I was wrong."

Fang Shaonan found it hard to understand, he meant well, didn’t he?

Even if Fang Shaonan was ignorant, he knew how many people paid to get into this First Middle School of the city.

Wanting to help but they said they didn’t need it, they wanted to rely on their own ability to get in.

What a courageous statement.

Compared to my "let my dad call for you" statement, how much pride is in that sentence?

Yes, relying on their own ability, they have confidence.

But what about me, having the smarts but not exerting them, always acting like I’m the best in the world, but who doesn’t talk behind your back even if they don’t dare provoke you upfront?

Saying I relied on connections to get in.

Those glances.

In fact, it’s no wonder people look down on me, being such a jerk, always threatening my parents with running away, what kind of son is this?

A white-eyed wolf!

This term fits perfectly.

Am I not a complete white-eyed wolf?

Bai Zhongyuan was also a bit dazed by this talk.

This kid’s words were too trenchant.

I, a grown man, wouldn’t dare say this, always relying on the prestige of being a child of a powerful family, to flaunt here and there, actually, in reality, we’re just street thugs.

What kind of skills do we have?

Just relying on having good parents.

Is this considered ability?

"You are wrong. You’re sixteen, not six, continuously holding the threat of running away over your parents. If you went out, with those human traffickers, what would they be afraid of you for?

Always exploiting the weaknesses of your loved ones and wasting their endless love and causing them pain, is this what you should be doing?

I’m not you, I don’t know what your life is like, but I think whether I’m living there or otherwise, as long as my parents and siblings are together, living happily and freely, then my heart will be happy, and no matter how many hardships I endure, I’m willing.

I would never hurt them, protecting them is my responsibility."

These downright resolute words left Fang Shaonan speechless.

He lowered his once proud head.

Bai Zhongyuan also wore a face filled with deep thought.

He Cui wiped her eyes, forcing a smile, carrying in a tray of fruit.

"Come, come, have some fruit, these are fresh peaches, gifted by your dad’s old comrade-in-arms, just arrived today, they’re very sweet. You all try some."

She picked up a big, red peach and handed it to Gu Xiaoqing.

Her eyes full of kindness and concern. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Her own son really lacked such a friend to wake him up to reality.

This kid is smart, intelligent, yet rational and calm.

No wonder he could handle that situation with human traffickers so well, ordinary calmness and wisdom don’t even describe it.

He Cui had already decided that she would certainly interact more with the Gu Family in the future, just this child alone is a role model.

A role model even her sixteen-year-old son couldn’t match.

This is not a narrow concept of city people versus rural people, it is truly a matter of having a broad vision.

This is a friend truly valuable for her own child.

Priceless indeed.

Gu Xiaoqing was a bit startled by He Cui’s loving gaze. Could it be that Aunt He heard what she had previously said here?

She was truly thinking for Fang Shaonan’s good, not trying to please or flatter anyone.

Just simply considering Fang Shaonan’s welfare.

Without any ulterior motives.

Fang Shaonan sullenly picked up a peach, took a vicious bite, chewing it in his mouth like he was chewing on an enemy.

Bai Zhongyuan also picked one, but ate it much more politely.

Suddenly, the two big boys had a lot on their minds.

"When you go back, Auntie will pack some for you to take home for your parents, it’s a little kindness from me. Now that you know the doors to Auntie’s house, come visit whenever you are in the city, treat this place like your home."

He Cui really treated Gu Xiaoqing as dearly as her own child.

Gu Xiaoqing bashfully said, "Auntie, that won’t do, it’d be inappropriate to take it home saying we just ate theirs. My parents will think I’m so improper."

He Cui laughed and said, "Don’t worry, Auntie can say so, and tell your parents Auntie is fond of you, so don’t mind those formalities."

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t want to refuse further, as that would seem disingenuous.

Thinking only to make sure her parents sent some specialties to Fang Shaonan’s house during the summer holidays.

After talking for a while, Gu Xiaoqing checked the time, it was not early, already 3 PM.

It was time to go back.

So she bid goodbye to He Cui.

He Cui originally wanted Gu Xiaoqing to stay for dinner, but Gu Xiaoqing insisted on going, saying that the teacher was still waiting.

He Cui couldn’t insist on keeping her longer.

So she let Fang Shaonan and Bai Zhongyuan send Gu Xiaoqing back together.

Also packed a bag of peaches along with a big packet of fried dough twists, which must have just been bought, the wrapping was all new.

Gu Xiaoqing was truly embarrassed.

Fang Shaonan didn’t say a word, just carried it for Gu Xiaoqing to go.

Along the way, Fang Shaonan didn’t speak, it was Bai Zhongyuan who kept asking questions to lighten the mood.

Finally, at the entrance of the hostel, Fang Shaonan stuffed the things into Gu Xiaoqing’s hands and grumbled, "I’ll make you look at me differently, when you make it to the city’s First Middle School, I’ll prove I’m worthy of my reputation. I won’t shame my parents."

Then he pulled Bai Zhongyuan and walked away in long strides.

Fleeing as if escaping.

Gu Xiaoqing laughed.

Still just kids.

Carrying a bag full of items back to the room, she first greeted the teacher, had dinner, and everyone started preparing things to go home.

The next day, the vehicle set off on the journey back.

The results of the competition would be announced ten days later, at which point the Education Bureau would receive the notice.

Gu Xiaoqing returned home.

Returning to the village, she discovered a big event had happened.

The well-known bachelor Gu Xianfu had actually adopted an orphan.

And even registered a household, naming her Gu Xiaomei.

It was said that the Second Uncle and Second Aunt immediately went over upon hearing the news.

But despite wanting to, they held back and left without saying anything.

The villagers all congratulated Gu Xianfu.

Finally, he would have someone to rely on in old age.

Those were the old news.

The latest news was that Gu Xiaocheng was returning. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
