Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 251 - 250: Decision (First Update)

Li Xuemei wouldn’t have it, watching the two of them put Gu Xiaoqing at a disadvantage.

She immediately stood in front of Shang’s mother, blocking Gu Xiaoqing.

"Even if it gets physical, it’s because you asked for it. You’re the ones standing in our home now, we certainly didn’t seek you out to come here and hit you, right? Standing on someone’s turf and spouting nonsense is a good reason for a lesson, so you don’t unknowingly offend someone and not know how you ended up dead."

Li Xuemei was fiercely protective, and hearing them scold her daughter, there’s no way she’d let Shang’s mother get away with that.

Shang’s mother was at a loss for words, what can she say?

Indeed, it was their own decision to come here. Standing on someone else’s territory and getting hit for speaking poorly—well, that’s just deserved.

"But you can’t bully people like this. Isn’t this unreasonable? Not allowing people to speak the truth, you’re just a bunch of unsophisticated people, not fit for my son, that’s just the truth."

Shang’s mother argued unreasonably.

"Enough."

A voice echoed, and everyone was startled.

Gu Xiaoying came down from upstairs with a cold expression.

Seeing Gu Xiaoying, Shang’s mother immediately changed her face, with a mournful look, she rushed over, grabbed Gu Xiaoying, "Xiao Ying, you can’t be so heartless, Wenming has been so good to you, you know that. This was a false accusation, he couldn’t have done it, you have to save Wenming.

Once Wenming is out, I will immediately agree to your marriage, then we’ll be a family."

This was forcing Gu Xiaoying to save Shang Wenming.

Gu Xiaoqing waited to see Gu Xiaoying’s decision. For so long, Gu Xiaoying had been stuck in the feeling of being hurt, and the family kept avoiding the issue, but avoiding wouldn’t solve it.

A pustule must be squeezed out.

This matter can only be resolved by Gu Xiaoying herself.

Shang Wenhua also rushed over, clutching Gu Xiaoying’s other hand, "Sister-in-law, look at your sister, what kind of person is she, hitting people like this, make her apologize to me, and compensate me for the clothes I picked out that day, or else I’ll get angry."

Gu Xiaoqing was speechless.

Li Xuemei covered her face, this person’s shamelessness knows no bounds.

Shang’s mother silently blamed her daughter’s lack of sensibility. Right now, getting Gu Xiaoying to release Shang Wenming is the crucial issue, can’t her messy issues wait?

One wrong word could anger Gu Xiaoying, ignoring Shang Wenming, and then the visit would be for nothing.

Gu Xiaoying pushed away Shang’s mother’s wrist, freeing herself from Shang Wenhua’s grasp, and said coldly: "Yes, I really do know how good Shang Wenming is to me. So good that he sneaked into my store late at night to steal the secret recipe, so good that he took twenty thousand for selling us out. Truly wonderful.

And you want my sister to apologize to you, what kind of thing are you? Deserving my sister’s apology. Apart from dressing up flamboyantly and flaunting around, what skills do you have to support yourself? Apart from calculating to cheat food and drink from me, what else can you do?

If you’re angry, if you die of anger, I’d be delighted.

I come from the countryside, but unfortunately, even coming from the countryside, I’m better than you pretentious city folks, always putting on airs, but truly hypocritical at the core, pretending to be cultured, with fake superiority, yet always thinking about spending my money without giving me face."

When I gave you face, it was because I considered Shang Wenming as my other half and treated you as family, but now I don’t give face, you are nothing, so get out of here, as far away as possible.

If you still think you can benefit from me, don’t blame me for being rude."

How formidable.

Gu Xiaoqing silently gave her sister a thumbs up in her heart.

It was a huge progress, evidently, the reborn Gu Xiaoying was impressively strong and capable.

Shang’s mother was almost crushed by Gu Xiaoying’s words. She came this time relying on her understanding of Gu Xiaoying and the insights from visiting Shang Wenming at the station.

Only Gu Xiaoying’s soft heart and commitment to this relationship could be their support to save Shang Wenming from jail.

But she’s ignoring it now, so what’s your pillar of support?

"Xiao Ying, you can’t say that. Wenming’s devotion to you is genuine. Even if he made a mistake, everyone makes mistakes. To err is human, to improve upon mistakes is significant. You can’t erase Wenming’s true intentions by this one incident."

Shang’s mother was indeed skilled at psychological manipulation.

Gu Xiaoqing sighed inwardly.

Gu Xiaoying raised her head and sneered, the curve of her lips was clearly mocking.

"His devotion to me, right, only to plot against my family. Didn’t the police tell you that your ’devoted’ son had already sold our secret recipe for twenty thousand once before, and this time it’s again twenty thousand? Quite genuinely devoted indeed.

If I still dare to have him, then my brain must be filled with water. You think I’m stupid, rural upbringing doesn’t change, but it doesn’t mean we rural folks don’t have brains.

Consider these words you say, do you believe them yourself?"

Gu Xiaoying was deeply wounded.

The police had come by once for investigation, only then did they know Shang Wenming wasn’t a first-time offender, he had priors totaling forty thousand. Very generous indeed.

Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei weren’t as fazed, but Gu Xiaoying was truly chilled.

She came to realize, Shang Wenming had been subtly feeding her ideas, intending to manipulate her relations with family to maximize his benefits.

It really is terrifying the more you think about it, hearts are indeed treacherous.

This person seemed so honest and reliable, yet secretly was laying traps for her.

If she hadn’t discovered it, what would the consequences be?

After obtaining all her wealth, what remaining value would she have?

Didn’t you hear Shang Wenhua’s words?

She’s unworthy of Shang Wenming, and once her utility is fully exhausted, she’d be kicked aside.

The other party gains both wealth and benefit, while she’d have nothing left, losing the final support and trust from family.

Because back then, she was indeed blinded by thinking about the difference in treatment between her and her sister, resenting her parents’ favoritism, pondering how to reclaim what she deserved.

What crazy actions would one take in such a mindset?

Haha, truly hard to imagine.
