Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 275 - 274: Driver

Gu Xiaoqing quietly sat in the back seat with Guo Donghua and He Yan, while Gu Ruhai took the front passenger seat.

Fang Shaohan was driving the car.

Gu Xiaoqing finally realized where the Mercedes came from; she had misunderstood completely. It wasn’t a grand gesture from Gu Ruhai at all, but rather Fang Shaohan had changed his car.

In contrast to Gu Xiaoqing’s silence, Gu Ruhai was talkative all the way, explaining everything about the family and continuously asking Gu Xiaoqing about her situation at school.

Most of the time, it was Guo Donghua, this mischievous friend, who answered first, and sometimes He Yan provided some answers. In any case, Gu Xiaoqing remained silent.

After seeing off Guo Donghua and He Yan, the car suddenly felt much emptier. Gu Xiaoqing sat in the back seat, occasionally feeling Fang Shaohan’s gaze sweeping over from the rearview mirror.

It was a bit uncomfortable.

"You don’t know, Xiao Fang has helped us a lot, and your sister is currently in a relationship. Her partner is a colleague from Xiao Fang’s team, a really nice person. He’s tall, has a good nature, and cares a lot about your sister. His family is simple, and even though they’re city people, there’s no hint of them looking down on your sister." Gu Ruhai was truly pleased.

How many hopes and aspirations can one have in a lifetime? All of Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei’s thoughts were on their three children.

Now, they didn’t have to worry about Gu Xiaoqing at all because she was in college. Even if she had to find someone in the future, it was about her choosing others, not the other way around. There was no need to worry about this.

But it was different for Gu Xiaoying. After the experience with Shang Wenming, Gu Xiaoying had matured a lot, paying more attention to family matters but showing almost no enthusiasm for her personal issues.

This left Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei constantly worried.

After all, Gu Xiaoying was already in her twenties. In rural areas, and even in the city, she would be considered an old maid. If she didn’t find someone soon, it would become difficult to get a match.

Finding someone from the countryside?

Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei weren’t willing either. Having raised three kids and gone through so much, gaining and losing a lot, they just hoped to break free from the poverty and bad habits of rural life.

It’s not that they looked down on their own background; it’s just that every parent thought this way. During that era, no parent didn’t wish for their child to have a city household registration, a city job, and to settle in the city.

That was the thinking of many rural people back then.

It was a product of the times, not an individual’s idea.

Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei had endured hardships in the countryside. They knew that even if someone was good, rural customs were plentiful, and the family relations could be complicated. Marrying into such a situation would mean more disputes, not to mention the issues between in-laws could be endless and hard to sort out.

They had struggled to break free from that place and establish themselves. The family’s conditions were not bad, so why let Gu Xiaoying face those problems again?

So finding a city partner was a must.

However, the affair with Shang Wenming was a wake-up call for Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei.

City folks are crafty, full of schemes, and look down on rural people. They were afraid of encountering another Shang Wenming.

As a result, Gu Xiaoying was delayed like this, and the couple was so anxious that they couldn’t sleep.

Gu Xiaoying didn’t mind. She planned to stay single for life if she couldn’t find a suitable match. After all, with money, she could help her family and live with peace of mind.

Gu Xiaoying had grown cold towards romance.

However, during summer, Fang Shaohan visited the Gu Family more frequently, dropping by every few days with small tasks for Gu Ruhai and the family.

Gradually, Gu Ruhai became friends with Fang Shaohan despite the age difference. Gu Ruhai valued Fang Shaohan, finding him mature for his age, principled, and not scheming.

As the captain of the criminal police team, he was also strikingly handsome. Gu Ruhai knew well about Fang Shaohan’s family background—it was the home of He Cui and General Fang Jianguo.

Yet, Gu Ruhai never considered matching Gu Xiaoying and Fang Shaohan, understanding the huge disparity in family background.

Hoping the daughter to fare well, but seeking a higher branch carried too many aftereffects. No one wished for their daughter to be looked down upon by others.

He Cui and Fang Jianguo might like the children of the Gu Family as friends, but considering them as in-laws might be a different story.

Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei were also parents, knowing the thoughts of fellow parents, so they didn’t entertain the idea at all.

But Fang Shaohan often brought his young team members over to help or to join for meals. Since he got along well with Gu Ruhai, his visits to the Gu Family became frequent.

As things went on, one day Fang Shaohan mentioned to Gu Ruhai that a young guy from his team was very fond of Gu Xiaoying. He was a good person, and his family was uncomplicated, so maybe they could try getting to know each other.

Gu Ruhai was, of course, delighted. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Although being a policeman was somewhat risky, the young guys following Fang Shaohan were all outstanding, bright, and trustworthy because they were officers, maintaining righteousness to some extent.

Thus, Gu Xiaoying officially met Liu Ming.

Unexpectedly, the two were really quite compatible. Both Liu Ming and Gu Xiaoying were reserved, but although Liu Ming was not very talkative, he valued Gu Xiaoying highly, and they truly developed a deep relationship.

This was the point of Gu Ruhai’s long speech—Gu Xiaoying was likely to resolve her personal issues soon.

Originally, Liu Ming was the only son, and his parents hoped for an early marriage and a grandchild soon. So, they kept urging their son to bring a girl home to formalize things.

Gu Ruhai also thought that Gu Xiaoying wasn’t getting any younger, so he agreed that it was best to handle this matter sooner.

So, before Gu Xiaoqing returned, the families met and settled the matter, planning to hold the wedding next May.

Gu Xiaoqing was very happy and couldn’t help but glance at the front. She met Fang Shaohan’s smiling eyes, so profound and deep that it sent a jolt through Gu Xiaoqing’s heart.

"Thank you, Brother Fang."

Fang Shaohan suddenly felt a chill. Brother Fang?

Was this distancing the relationship, making a generational gap?
