Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 303 - 302: Wei Family

The car arrived at General Wei’s military district villa, a detached residence with gardens in the front and back. At the entrance, guards were stationed, and upon seeing Fang Shaohan’s car, they immediately gestured to have it stop.

Upon seeing Wei Ziyun sitting in the front passenger seat wearing sunglasses, the two guards immediately greeted her as Miss.

Then they let them pass.

Gu Xiaoqing and Fang Shaohan got out of the car and entered the Wei Family’s gate.

She still felt a bit uneasy, the atmosphere was quite oppressive.

She was just a small figure, now having to face the pressure of a general and a future provincial governor candidate. Although people are just people, the pressure really was different.

There were many people in the living room, yet Gu Xiaoqing didn’t really know many of them. The only one she was familiar with was General Wei, who was seated on the central sofa, as they had met once before.

The rest were relatives of the Wei Family. Unfortunately, despite Gu Xiaoqing’s exceptional memory, she could only vaguely recall a general impression from memorizing photos, unable to match everyone perfectly.

This was the difference between a professional undercover agent and an amateur.

Gu Xiaoqing steeled herself, prepared to feign discomfort later since Wei Ziyun was known for her poor health, which also served as a perfect excuse.

She removed her sunglasses, revealing delicate and pale features, her body frail and fragile-looking.

Fang Shaohan had already instinctively positioned himself just a step behind Gu Xiaoqing, maintaining a professional distance without being disrespectful.

All eyes focused on the doorway, especially a few that were noticeably unfriendly. Gu Xiaoqing pretended to look around, meeting the gaze of two young girls who hadn’t expected her to return their glance. Their faces failed to hide the jealousy in time, forcing awkward smiles to emerge, with conflicting expressions displayed on their faces.

Watching them, Gu Xiaoqing felt uncomfortable; the original sour expressions would have been better.

It made her feel awkward just looking at it.

"Yan Zi is back, come quickly, sit here by Grandpa,"

General Wei joyfully called out to Gu Xiaoqing when he saw her, gesturing for her to come over. This was likely a routine gesture, as natural as if performed countless times before.

The girl with a ponytail who had been sitting beside General Wei showed a subtle change in expression, a hint of awkwardness, but quickly concealed it, standing up naturally and walking over to Gu Xiaoqing, saying, "Yan Zi, you’re back. Come sit and rest."

She reached out to take Gu Xiaoqing’s arm, but such enthusiasm was more than Gu Xiaoqing could handle.

Being an imposter, she couldn’t handle such close intimacy.

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoqing had learned from Fang Shaohan in advance about Wei Ziyun’s status and personality at home. Due to General Wei’s favoritism, Wei Ziyun didn’t care much for anyone in the Wei Family, especially having a rough relationship with several cousins as all attention was centered on her.

Consequently, Wei Ziyun frequently disregarded others’ feelings in the Wei Family, her temper well-known, almost legendary.

At this moment, Gu Xiaoqing certainly didn’t need to please these people. Fang Shaohan had mentioned that only General Wei and Wei Hanjian knew about this secret, with everyone else being kept in the dark.

So not only did Gu Xiaoqing have to fool the gang elements outside awaiting their chance, but also deceive this entire family of relatives, a high-difficulty task.

The only thing Gu Xiaoqing was grateful for was Wei Ziyun’s aloofness, providing her with plenty of excuses to evade these people’s entanglements.

She flicked her arm, avoiding the girl’s grasp. Gu Xiaoqing recognized this girl, named Wei Ziqing, the daughter of General Wei’s second son, two years older than Wei Ziyun, having just graduated college and preparing for work.

"Wei Ziyun" then promptly sat on the sofa beside General Wei, affectionately wrapping her arm around his, the strong smell of tobacco emanating from the old man. "Grandpa, I missed you so much."

Her voice was tender and coquettish with a playful tone, even "Wei Ziyun" found the sound unbearable, but that was precisely Wei Ziyun’s voice. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

General Wei kindly rubbed the top of Wei Ziyun’s head, asking with concern, "Are you feeling unwell today? How did the check-up go?"

This was the almost daily dialogue between the grandfather and granddaughter, and everyone was speechless at how many years these words had been repeated, yet neither grew bored of it.

"The doctor said it’s the same as always, no changes. Once my visa is processed in two months, surgery is the only solution."

A middle-aged man on the opposite sofa stared intently at "Wei Ziyun," his eyes slightly red—this was Wei Hanjian, Wei Ziyun’s biological father.

Wei Ziqing was long accustomed to Wei Ziyun’s arrogance and willfulness, no longer caring, though she secretly despised her. Wei Ziyun had overshadowed her from birth, constantly stealing affection, while Grandpa indulged Wei Ziyun to a lawless degree.

Fortunately, Wei Ziyun’s poor health prevented her from becoming the leading figure among the Wei Family’s younger generation.

Heaven was just, granting Wei Ziyun all the affection yet bestowing upon her a Lin Daiyu-like physique.

Wei Ziqing sat not far from Wei Ziyun, watching her act spoiled with General Wei, feeling utterly disgusted inside.

"That’s good, don’t overexert yourself. I’ve instructed Secretary Wu to expedite your visa procedures, but the U.S. Embassy requires many cumbersome documents. It should be soon. Once you undergo surgery, Grandpa will be at ease," General Wei spoke with his usual affection towards "Wei Ziyun."

Wei Ziqing reassuringly said, "Grandpa, Yan Zi’s heart condition will be fine, don’t worry. Our family’s children are all strong."

General Wei nodded, pleased with her words.

A middle-aged woman spoke up from the other side, "Dad, look, everyone’s here today. Let’s go out to eat. It’s a good opportunity for everyone to gather, as Ziqing, Zihua, Zixian, and Zimei are usually at school, so it’s rare for everyone to be home. Let’s all enjoy."

This was Wang Junmei, General Wei’s second daughter-in-law, the vice-president of the provincial eye hospital, and Wei Ziqing’s mother, an eloquent woman.

General Wei quietly asked "Wei Ziyun," "How’s your health, can you manage?"

Everyone appeared impassive, yet couldn’t conceal a twitch at the mouth betraying their inner dismay.

Could the old man’s partiality be any more blatant?

"Wei Ziyun" nodded, obediently saying, "Grandpa, I can manage. I’m in great health." She assured him, patting her chest.

"Very well, let’s do as you said," the old man confirmed.
