Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 245 - 244: Inopportune (Fifth Update)

Closing the door of the private room, Gu Xiaoqing mumbled to herself.

Fang Shaohan must have had good intentions, wanting to back up the family.

But there always seem to be people causing trouble everywhere.

Gu Xiaoqing shook her head, it seems that people like to step on others when they’re down. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Clearly, they are strangers, yet they enjoy making things difficult for others.

The door opened, and Fang Shaohan had already come out, quickly walking to Gu Xiaoqing’s side.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t expect to bring you humiliation. I originally invited everyone for a meal, just wanting to come and see you. I heard that the Gu Family Spicy Old Hot Pot started offering Haidilao as well, and I’m a bit worried about your situation. I didn’t expect I might have made things worse."

The hallway was empty; except for the waitstaff in the private rooms, the rest were downstairs.

Gu Xiaoqing smiled, revealing a row of white little teeth, like small white shells, adorably captivating.

"Actually, it’s alright, I don’t want to cause you trouble. Earlier, I was a bit rude, and I probably offended your colleagues. Try to calm them down for me; I didn’t mean it, but when someone speaks to you like that, anyone would react. I acted impulsively."

This apology was sincere, and Gu Xiaoqing felt her temper was increasingly volatile. She used to be easygoing, often enduring her picky boss’s challenges.

Now she seemed like a powder keg, easily ignited.

Fang Shaohan narrowed his eyes slightly; he didn’t like this version of Gu Xiaoqing, so low-spirited, without the arrogance and audacity he saw before, the fearlessness she displayed when they met again. The current Gu Xiaoqing appeared more peaceful, unlike the temperament she should have.

It hid away all her brilliance, making Fang Shaohan feel pity.

"It’s unnecessary. I don’t care what they think of me. I came here solely for you; otherwise, what do they have to do with anything?"

These words were arrogant, but strangely they lifted Gu Xiaoqing’s spirit high, this feeling of being valued was immensely satisfying.

"Are you so willing to be defeated? This doesn’t seem like your style! And Haidilao across the street, is it because your internal controls aren’t tightened enough? Even a fool would know by now that they’ve bribed your people. Are you still able to sit steadily?"

Fang Shaohan’s words easily aroused Gu Xiaoqing’s fighting spirit.

Glancing at the one who greatly underestimated her, Gu Xiaoqing said spiritedly: "Of course not, this young lady has her own ways, just waiting for them to jump around for a few days. The higher they bounce now, the more satisfying the fall will be, right?"

A cheeky reply.

Fang Shaohan felt relieved, this girl definitely had the capability. She was so clever, she could even resolve a kidnapping crisis, so why was he worried?

But a part of him was always open to her, and there was always this incessant worry.

Really wanted to make things clear and see how this woman would react, to see if she would still be this calm and undisturbed.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t a good time. The Gu Family was in a dire situation, and doing so now would seem a bit unscrupulous.

Wait, endure.

What’s meant to be yours will never run away.

"Seeing you like this, I’m relieved. You rest assured that wherever cooperation is needed, I will cooperate without reservation. And with General Wei, I’ll notify him. Oh, and Wei Ziyun has returned, always saying he wants to see you."

Fang Shaohan couldn’t help but offer some words of assistance.

Gu Xiaoqing was stunned, remembering that somewhat naive girl, she quickly waved her hand: "You must tell General Wei not to come, I’m already too busy here, I don’t have the time to deal with her."

That child is just a disaster maker.

Gu Xiaoqing wanted to stay as far away as possible.

Fang Shaohan chuckled lightly, the smile on his lips was warm enough to melt winter ice.

Gu Xiaoqing felt her heartbeat going irregular again.

Ah, such trouble!

She turned and walked away.

Fang Shaohan extinguished the cigarette butt, happily returned to the private room.

"Boss, why did you take so long at the bathroom?"

The complaining voice was sweet, it was Hu Lihua, the policewoman who initially had it against Gu Xiaoqing.

Pouring Fang Shaohan a drink, she smiled and said: "You ought to be punished."

Several guys around started to jeer immediately: "Yeah, Captain, punish, punish!"

Fang Shaohan leisurely picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of fatty beef, dipped it in the already prepared sauce, and took a big bite. The fresh flavor seemed to instantly fill his stomach.

Delightful!

Instantly everyone fell silent.

This clearly showed a lack of respect.

Hu Lihua couldn’t help but have her eyes redden, and she murmured softly: "Captain, you’re really not giving me face."

The voice was much lower, full of grievance.

Many of the surrounding men were moved by this pear blossom with rain look, persuading: "Captain, eat something to settle the stomach first, otherwise drinking on an empty stomach will be uncomfortable."

"That’s right."

Several men all looked at Fang Shaohan, hoping he would give some face.

One can’t really pressure a police belle to tears, can they?

On the other side, Xing Chunyan had long noticed Fang Shaohan’s displeasure and felt happy too. Not giving Hu Lihua face meant she had a bigger chance.

She quickly grabbed Fang Shaohan a piece of fatty beef into his bowl, "Why drink? Let’s eat, if this meat cooks too long, it won’t taste good."

Automatically ignoring the topic of drinking.

As if Fang Shaohan could be easily manipulated.

It would be better to go along with it and earn some favor.

Sure enough, Fang Shaohan didn’t refuse the meat, leaving a sentence: "Just eat, don’t make trouble when there’s nothing wrong, we’re here to eat, not to stir up trouble."

Immediately, more than a dozen people fell silent, their chopsticks as swift as magic, and within seconds, the hotpot became empty, all scooped up.

Xing Chunyan quickly began putting meat and vegetables into the pot, continuously livening the atmosphere with jokes.

"Captain, this is Haidilao, the taste is not bad."

If you couldn’t see that Fang Shaohan had some interest in Gu Xiaoqing from this restaurant, then you’d be a fool.

Xing Chunyan wasn’t willing to provoke him, as Fang Shaohan was a well-known handsome man with charm in the team. While she wanted to take him, it depended on whether she had the skill.

Fang Shaohan’s attitude today reversed many people’s thoughts.

That usual ice face being all smiles for Gu Xiaoqing, if that’s not attraction, what is?

Fang Shaohan nodded, without speaking further.

He spoke little as always. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
