Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 236 - 235: Leaving Home

Gu Xiaoying’s tears streamed down, silently sobbing, her shoulders drooping as she tried to control the embarrassment of her breakdown.

But the fact is, Gu Xiaoying actually understood, knew very well in her heart, and has told herself countless times that this was what Gu Xiaoqing deserved, there was no comparison.

However, she still couldn’t help but begrudge that five percent share, even if it could bring her an income of tens of thousands annually, even though over the years, the family shares had given her savings of fifty or sixty thousand.

In this era, this amount of money is considered wealthy. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

A girl just over twenty years old, holding so much money, who would have thought?

Even in the face of Shang Wenming’s sweet words, Gu Xiaoying never disclosed her wealth, knowing it would attract too much attention and perhaps face countless ill-intentioned people.

Even though she believed in those sweet words during passionate love, she knew that men still had some thoughts regarding this.

This was an unconscious defensive mechanism brought about by years of business.

But at this moment, Gu Xiaoying was embarrassed that she wanted to compete for favor, for family assets, with her own sister—what kind of person would do that?

Originally, it was the kind of thing only people as despicable as Gu Rushan and Gu Ruhe would do, why was she now doing such things too?

Inexpressible shame surged up, her face burned red, and her eyes were red too.

But she couldn’t refute her father’s words.

Recently, the words Shang Wenming spoke around her had sprouted and taken root in her heart, gradually changing this once honest and kind rural girl, despite all her efforts to become a city person.

At this moment, she also realized that using her parents’ assets to change her own life was truly pathetic.

Gu Xiaoqing stood in front of Gu Xiaoying, holding her shoulders, trying to comfort her, but Gu Xiaoying brushed her away forcefully.

"Who wants your fake kindness."

Gu Xiaoying wouldn’t accept it, feeling both shamed and angry.

"Sis, I was the one who suggested this, wanting Shang Wenming to leave Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot was my idea. If you’re angry, take it out on me, but don’t blindly lash out at everyone you see, it really hurts people."

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t want to make things hard for her parents, Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai were both looking very sad now.

Probably hurt by Gu Xiaoying’s words earlier.

Gu Xiaoying raised her head fiercely, anger burning in her eyes, "Fine, since you said it’s between you and me, then let me ask you, my dear sister, why, for what reason did you fire Shang Wenming?"

Gu Xiaoqing sighed softly, still arguing over a man.

"Big sis, you should be clear about the current state of Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot. Across the street, Gu Rushan is eagerly waiting for us to shut down, wishing for our immediate collapse, as you know.

I came back this time to solve the current difficulties, to introduce new life elements to Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot, to improve some past things, but this is confidential. I asked Mom and Dad, they also said Gu Family Spicy Old Hot Pot’s base ingredients were identical to ours.

Sister, do you know what this means? We have a mole internally leaking our information. We need to eliminate any discordant factors during this period, any potentially harmful elements need to be cleared away."

Patience, real patience is needed.

Gu Xiaoying said indignantly, "Is Shang Wenming a mole? Aren’t you making false accusations?"

Gu Xiaoqing smiled and calmly said, "Whether Shang Wenming is a mole needs to be verified, but Shang Wenming’s presence in our family is dispensable, so why should we keep someone who might cause trouble around?

If you really like him, you wouldn’t want everyone to ridicule him as a moocher, wouldn’t you agree? Is it only because he works under your nose, eats our family’s food, takes our money, that he can survive, otherwise he wouldn’t like you anymore."

This statement shattered Gu Xiaoying’s last line of defense, it was something she vaguely suspected but never dared to dwell on, now laid bare under the sun in such a manner.

Gu Xiaoying felt blood rush up her face to her neck, feeling so uncomfortable she wanted to stab someone just to feel better.

She angrily said, "Gu Xiaoqing, from now on, it’s either you or me, never both. Shang Wenming and I won’t be working at Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot, we’ll start our own venture. I can’t believe we’d starve after leaving Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot."

Gu Xiaoqing chuckled softly, her sister really was in her twenties, so impulsive.

But it’s good too, it’s an opportunity for Gu Xiaoying to see Shang Wenming’s true face clearly, otherwise, no matter how many arguments you make, they’re no match for Shang Wenming’s words.

Gu Xiaoying needs to learn a lesson, without some hardship, without facing pain, one doesn’t grow up.

Maybe this is the opportunity.

Gu Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Sister, everything you have was given by the Gu Family, your clothes, your car, your money, even the savings under your name are all Gu Family’s money. Isn’t it laughable when you say you don’t rely on the Gu Family?"

This is the harshest measure, just to deal with Gu Xiaoying.

Gu Xiaoying’s eyes turned red as she spoke to Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei, "Mom and Dad, you see, this is your good daughter, even my last bit is on her mind, don’t worry, I said I won’t leave the Gu Family, so I won’t take anything from it."

Gu Xiaoying stomped upstairs to her room.

Soon, Gu Xiaoying came down with a suitcase and threw a pile of things on the coffee table.

"Here’s all the savings, jewelry, car keys. I’m only taking my clothes, unless you want me to leave them behind too?"

Gu Xiaoying glanced coldly at Gu Xiaoqing, at this moment, Gu Xiaoqing in Gu Xiaoying’s eyes was like a winged black demon.

Gu Xiaoqing picked up the items slowly and nodded, "Okay, hope you find happiness." Gu Xiaoying left the Gu Family with big strides.

Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai watched the scene of the sisters’ estrangement, speechless.

Gu Ruhai asked uneasily, "Xiaoqing, wasn’t this too much?"

Gu Xiaoqing replied with a smile, "Mom and Dad, don’t worry. This is the best opportunity, if Shang Wenming is a good person, then you don’t have to worry about sister’s marriage anymore, if Shang Wenming is a scoundrel, then this experience will also open sister’s eyes."(To be continued.
