Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 301 - 300: Bad Child

"Dad, do you know what consequences your decision will bring to our family? We are just ordinary farmers, even though we’re wealthy now, that doesn’t change the fact. We’re not a family with power and influence, how can we get involved in such things now? That could ruin us."

Gu Xiaoqing explained to Gu Ruhai, puzzled, as she couldn’t believe Gu Ruhai didn’t understand the severity of the situation. Her father was no longer the same Gu Ruhai who had just left Gu Family Village; the height of his career now determined his insight.

Even the Gu Ruhai of the past from the countryside would understand the danger of this situation and its deep influence on them.

Gu Ruhai poured a cup of tea for his daughter and pushed it toward Gu Xiaoqing.

"Take a sip, calm your heart."

Li Xuemei came downstairs, watching the father and daughter quietly sipping tea.

She sat beside her daughter.

Earlier, Li Xuemei had actually heard those words.

The two of them were tidying up the room, and when they finished, they heard the conversation between Gu Xiaoqing and Fang Shaohan, listening almost from beginning to end.

Their couple understood the seriousness of this matter.

But when Gu Ruhai chimed in, Li Xuemei said nothing.

It’s not that they are so kind, nor is it that they don’t care about Gu Xiaoqing. If possible, Li Xuemei would even replace her daughter to handle this matter, but that’s not realistic.

Li Xuemei was also worried, but she understood Gu Ruhai. As a person, knowing clearly that another person would die because of them, if they remain indifferent, are they still human?

But putting their daughter’s life in danger because of another person’s life is also not something they want to see.

Life is just so conflicting. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Li Xuemei initially wanted to hold back Gu Ruhai, but after he said one sentence, she gave up.

Yes, there’s still Xiao Fang.

Indeed, Fang Shaohan is a police officer, and this matter is originally a trap set by the police, so why worry so much? After all, the police designed this operation to catch these people, and if there was no safety assurance, the police wouldn’t ask Gu Xiaoqing, an ordinary citizen, to assist.

So, they should be able to rest assured.

Upon weighing this, it seems Gu Xiaoqing should step forward to help.

"Xiaoqing, your dad knows that the police will protect your safety, which is why he considered this. We’ve clearly heard that a girl will die because of this matter, and we can’t sit idly by. If the final outcome is Wei Ziyun’s death, will you be able to live peacefully later?"

Li Xuemei persuaded her daughter.

In such situations, they can’t guarantee their actions are completely right, but what’s most important is living with a clear conscience. They’re worried that the outcome will leave Gu Xiaoqing with a lifetime shadow, burdening her with guilt forever.

Just like every time Gu Ruhai recalls the past decades and the differences in how he treated his children and parents, causing profound impacts, he deeply regrets and feels like he could die from guilt.

This sense of guilt is borne for a lifetime and cannot be resolved, not by comforting words; it can only be silently endured.

That’s why Gu Ruhai can’t let Gu Xiaoqing live like that for a lifetime.

The pain he endured doesn’t need to be passed on to the children, this is why Gu Ruhai insists so much.

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t speak.

"Xiaoqing, your dad and I are doing what’s best for you. Maybe you think we’re not helping you, not considering your safety, but as your parents, wouldn’t we worry for your safety? We’re adults; we won’t send our own kids out just to take care of others’. But this time it’s not a stranger, it’s your familiar friend, and if one day she really dies because of this matter,

then you’ll live with guilt for a lifetime. You may regret your decision, living in regret is very hard and painful, not just for a day or two, not even for a year or two, but possibly a lifetime, following you forever."

Li Xuemei expressed what Gu Ruhai wanted to say, seeing her daughter’s slightly moved expression, knowing the child heard deep in her heart.

Gu Xiaoqing is a kid who is sensible, not someone who only insists on her own ideas. Most of the time, she can listen to others’ opinions and won’t act stubbornly.

"Alright, Dad and Mom, I know what to do, but I hope you don’t worry because since I agreed, many potential dangers are necessary, but aren’t there police?"

Gu Xiaoqing maliciously thought she might make her parents worried.

Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai both breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you must be careful, we’re assured the police are behind to watch over you, otherwise, we wouldn’t let you go. After all, your own life is important."

Gu Ruhai quickly added, as this is his child, how could he not worry?

Gu Xiaoqing laughed.

This time the worry seems too late.

"Dad, you always bully me for outsiders."

Said coquettishly.

Gu Ruhai felt awkward, perhaps that was the case.

Li Xuemei glanced at Gu Xiaoqing, knowing the child did it deliberately.

Before going upstairs, Gu Xiaoqing told Gu Ruhai, "Dad, call Fang Shaohan and tell him I agreed, but for such matters, pretending to be Wei Ziyun is beyond my ability, the police need to handle it."

In her heart, she felt a little secretly pleased, heh, even making her dad guilty.

Is she a mischievous kid?

Gu Ruhai nodded, he had no choice but to agree.

He also wanted to remind Fang Shaohan to ensure his precious daughter’s safety.

Fang Shaohan received the call in the evening, and this had already been a settled matter. At the Gu Family, Fang Shaohan already knew, but receiving the call still settled his heart.

He called the chief and reported the task was complete.

The plan could proceed.

Gu Xiaoqing’s school soon received her leave of absence for hospitalization with a professional medical certificate, requiring two months of academic leave.

Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t go to Shanghai temporarily.

Gu Xiaoqing also called Guo Donghua about the milk tea shop, leaving it to him.

She couldn’t explain the situation to Guo Donghua, and according to the planned script, she said she was ill and needed hospitalization and rest.

Guo Donghua immediately comforted Gu Xiaoqing, telling her to focus on recovering, assuring there’s him here.

Of course, Gu Xiaoqing didn’t forget to ask Fang Shaohan and Han Xiao’s mom to take care, lest before she even returns, the milk tea shop closes down.

That’s her business after all.
