Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 271 - 270: Han Xiao’s Mother (Fifth Update)
Sadly, it seems that many things are either ending or have already ended.
Gu Xiaoqing stumbled into Fang Shaohan’s circle, and the subsequent complications were far beyond what Gu Xiaoqing could simply withdraw from.
Look, today someone has come looking for her.
Gu Xiaoqing came over after finishing her afternoon class. Recently, she had passed several exams smoothly, but there were still some that required a slower approach. Gu Xiaoqing didn’t think she was at the level of a top student just yet.
As soon as she walked into the milk tea shop, she saw Guo Donghua standing at the entrance, looking around, blinking repeatedly when he saw her.
Gu Xiaoqing asked curiously, "Are your eyes inflamed? Maybe you should see a doctor tomorrow. Eye problems can be big or small."
Guo Donghua rolled his eyes at Gu Xiaoqing and pointed toward a middle-aged woman sitting at a table with a black-suited bodyguard standing behind her.
No need to ask how I could tell, that’s just how the Wei Ziyun family’s bodyguards dress.
Gu Xiaoqing met the woman’s gaze. She was also scrutinizing Gu Xiaoqing, with an air of superiority that was a bit high and mighty.
Gu Xiaoqing asked Guo Donghua in confusion, "Looking for me?"
She didn’t even know this person.
Guo Donghua nodded like a pecking chicken.
Gu Xiaoqing walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down. "Hello, who are you? I heard you were looking for me. What’s the matter?"
The middle-aged woman looked at Gu Xiaoqing elegantly, her expression very subtle. However, the contempt in her eyes was unmistakable to Gu Xiaoqing, but she didn’t know what connection this person had with her, as they were still strangers.
Gu Xiaoqing would not ignore someone’s hostility.
"You are Gu Xiaoqing?"
The voice was so stern that it was immediately clear this person was accustomed to giving orders.
Gu Xiaoqing nodded.
"I am Han Xiao’s mother. You can call me Aunt Han."
Gu Xiaoqing instantly understood and realized where the hostility was coming from. Han Xiao was still holing up in her house, refusing to leave, and no amount of persuasion was working. Gu Xiaoqing was also quite troubled.
Because Han Xiao wouldn’t leave, Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t move in, and with winter break approaching, although she planned to go home, when she returned, she wanted to live there.
Gu Xiaoqing didn’t want to be seen as having something with Han Xiao. Already, Lu Qi was a bit displeased with how close Gu Xiaoqing was getting to Han Xiao, suspecting her of playing both Fang Shaohan and Han Xiao.
No matter how much Gu Xiaoqing explained, it just wasn’t convincing. Who cared about Han Xiao anyway?
Clearly, this person was stubbornly clinging to her place, instead turning it into Gu Xiaoqing being vain and opportunistic. What an enormous misunderstanding!
Unfortunately, Lu Qi was someone who wouldn’t listen to explanations, stubbornly sticking to his own beliefs.
This Aunt Han must have thought Gu Xiaoqing was manipulating her son’s great future, coming over with a justified interrogation.
If she couldn’t see that by now, she might as well be blind.
"Aunt Han, hello. I understand why you’ve come. Actually, Han Xiao and I really don’t have anything." Gu Xiaoqing felt awkward saying this.
There was originally nothing there, but now she had to desperately explain it to someone, which was frustrating.
Aunt Han said nothing, taking a sip of the milk tea in front of her, one of the offerings from Gu Xiaoqing’s shop, which Gu Xiaoqing naturally recognized. She drank it seriously, then subtly moved the corners of her mouth, placing the cup back down.
She spoke earnestly, "Gu Xiaoqing, Auntie can see you’re a good girl, being able to run your own business without relying on family money, supporting yourself. Auntie still thinks you’re a person of integrity." Gu Xiaoqing was instantly dumbfounded. What was happening?
She didn’t have x-ray vision, but if this blatant hostility was fake, even she wouldn’t believe it.
If someone coveted her precious son like that, she’d definitely be anxious and wouldn’t be polite. Could this speech be raising her up so high just to see her back off?
"Auntie, if you have something to say, just say it. To be honest, Han Xiao is Fang Shaohan’s friend, and it’s through Fang Shaohan that we met. During this time, Han Xiao has been staying with me because he helped me buy that house. He said he was in trouble, and it wasn’t easy for me to refuse and not help, so with the rights and wrongs of the matter, as an outsider, I shouldn’t interfere. So, I can only let Han Xiao stay for now." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
She had to clarify. There was no need to cause unnecessary trouble.
Han Xiao had a great background, good looks, and the makings of an idol, but Han Xiao was definitely not Gu Xiaoqing’s type.
This, Gu Xiaoqing was very clear on.
Aunt Han looked at Gu Xiaoqing and smiled, "Han Xiao has always been spoiled by us. This incident happened because he refused to go on a blind date with the girl we approved of, and he didn’t want to take over the family business, so he rashly ran away, thinking his father and I would relent.
But even if we cut off his financial support and ignored him, we are still his parents and wouldn’t truly abandon him. I believe you’re smart, and you should know this too, but I don’t want my son to be deceived, nor do I want anyone to take advantage of the situation. I think you understand."
Gu Xiaoqing wanted to scream at the sky, like what is all this?
"Aunt Han, I address you as such out of courtesy. Regardless of your purpose in telling me all this today, there’s one thing I want clear. First, Han Xiao may be excellent, and he is your son, your pride, but to me, sorry, at most he’s a good friend.
Han Xiao has helped me a lot, so we are purely friends, certainly not in the way you think. If I really wanted something with Han Xiao, then don’t you think all this time, I haven’t had any opportunities?
My family is also in business. Perhaps not as wealthy or influential as yours, but my parents raised me with great care. Our family doesn’t need to rely on any powerful alliances to achieve anything.
So you’ve really misunderstood. You can go ahead and take Han Xiao back with you. I also want to live in the house myself, but with Han Xiao there, it’s very inconvenient for me. This has already delayed a lot of my plans. So you don’t need to guard against me."
Gu Xiaoqing spoke honestly, it truly was inconvenient. At the end of the year, she had already prepared the funds to buy stocks, but as soon as Han Xiao saw her documents, he insisted on getting involved and even bought thousands of shares in Shanghai Yu Garden. If anyone found out, they wouldn’t say it wasn’t her who initiated it.
