Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 313 - 312: Heart-to-Heart

Han Xiao resolved his concerns and finally left with peace of mind.

Of course, Gu Xiaoqing didn’t miss it. When Han Xiao was about to leave, he glanced at the look inside the counter, and not long after Han Xiao went out, Guo Donghua went out on the pretense of wanting to make a phone call.

Even when Gu Xiaoqing pointed to the phone in his own shop for Guo Donghua, Guo Donghua could still find an excuse, saying it was inconvenient to talk; it was a call for a friend.

Seeing Guo Donghua walking out so cautiously like a thief, Gu Xiaoqing shook her head.

It’s not that I am overly calm or indifferent.

It’s that I have seen too many mismatched relationships, have seen the ruthless methods of too many powerful families, and in the households where I used to work, which were all high and mighty, a small nanny like me wouldn’t even catch their eye.

Yet, the things that happened in those homes taught Gu Xiaoqing to open her eyes wide and see things clearly.

Guo Donghua is a simple child, her family background is decent, but compared to Han Xiao, it’s definitely not on the same level, and Guo Donghua wouldn’t be an acceptable daughter-in-law candidate in Han Xiao’s mother’s eyes.

Adding to that the fact that Han Xiao is still a playboy without a clear direction, meeting Han Xiao is truly a calamity for Guo Donghua.

Gu Xiaoqing can’t just watch Guo Donghua fall into this obvious trap.

Whether Han Xiao has any sincerity, Gu Xiaoqing doesn’t dare to say, but the final outcome wouldn’t be the most desired.

Rather than letting that happen, before Guo Donghua gets hurt, Gu Xiaoqing wants to prevent it.

After all, this is my friend, Guo Donghua isn’t a bad person, just a bit of a temperamental girl, at most throwing a small tantrum, but she has no malicious intent.

If things really are as Gu Xiaoqing suspects, events like those in the milk tea shop will just keep happening.

Sigh, it’s really a headache.

Gu Xiaoqing thought that later she must ask Guo Donghua properly about how far they’ve developed, as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, Gu Xiaoqing will still try to stop Guo Donghua from risking it all.

Sitting in the chair, she started writing and drawing in her notebook, planning for the milk tea shop’s branch things.

After all, once she thinks of something, she wants to do it.

College life should be over soon, Gu Xiaoqing doesn’t oppose studying abroad, but this shouldn’t hinder her confident development.

These are ready-made opportunities, and Gu Xiaoqing wouldn’t let them slip by.

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t see Guo Donghua again until lunch, when she returned tardily.

Seeing Gu Xiaoqing, Guo Donghua seemed a bit embarrassed.

"You’re still here? I thought you had gone back to school."

Gu Xiaoqing snorted, "Go ahead and treat me to a meal. I just returned, and this is how you treat friends, leaving me alone in the shop while you go off who knows where."

Guo Donghua promptly put on a fawning face, sycophantically pulling Gu Xiaoqing along and saying, "Alright, alright, I’ll treat you to a meal. What do you want to eat? My treat."

As long as she could divert Gu Xiaoqing’s attention, Guo Donghua would even be willing to treat her to dragon meat.

With arms intertwined, they walked out of the milk tea shop together.

Gu Xiaoqing likes spicy food. They took a bus for three stops and saw a Sichuan restaurant, which was quite famous around here.

Many students from Jiaoda like to come here specifically to eat Sichuan food.

It’s very popular.

When the two arrived, it wasn’t particularly early, and many tables were already occupied.

But they still found a table in a corner, a rather secluded spot, far from the windows and air conditioning, not a spot people usually favor.

However, considering Gu Xiaoqing wanted to have a talk with Guo Donghua, this place was quite nice, as it was far enough from neighboring tables and wouldn’t disturb their conversation.

They ordered the dishes, of course, Gu Xiaoqing did, choosing all her favorite dishes such as mouth-watering chicken, boiled meat slices, Kung Pao chicken, along with dan dan noodles and red oil wontons—classic must-haves here.

They drank iced beverages, waiting for the food to arrive.

"There are still so many people here."

Guo Donghua took a sip of sour plum soup, a drink she liked and also liked by many girls; Gu Xiaoqing liked it too.

Gu Xiaoqing glanced around at the people and nodded, "This place has really authentic flavors, so lots of people come to eat."

"Xiaoqing, I know you want to talk to me. I’ll be honest; I have feelings for Han Xiao, but there’s nothing between us. I also know the last crisis at our shop was caused by Han Xiao’s mom misunderstanding you and Han Xiao, I’m clear about that."

Gu Xiaoqing took a big gulp of sour plum soup, and then this admission was just thrown out, stifling the questions Gu Xiaoqing wanted to ask.

This kid isn’t oblivious, she understands.

Sighing, she looked at the slightly pitiful Guo Donghua and said empathetically, "Guo Donghua, we are friends now, and in the past, maybe I wouldn’t meddle in your personal affairs, whether it’s life or death, it wouldn’t be my business.

But now that we’ve become friends and business partners, I feel I have to advise you. While you haven’t invested too much emotionally, it’s better to withdraw now.

Han Xiao is not your soulmate."

Gu Xiaoqing watched as she gently advised Guo Donghua.

Guo Donghua awkwardly pursed her lips, opening her mouth as if to speak, but ultimately saying nothing.

The waiter brought their dishes, and both fell silent.

Once all the dishes were arranged.

The two of them quietly picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Guo Donghua swallowed a big bite of spicy Sichuan shredded chicken, tears involuntarily flowed from the spiciness, and she wiped them with a tissue, saying feebly, "Actually, I know, my family at best is just a bit better off, and compared to Han Xiao’s family, I’m really nothing, but Han Xiao often helped at the shop lately, and over time, spending so much time together, I felt he was a good person, which moved my heart.

But Han Xiao also said many things, he mentioned that he can’t decide his own marriage, he has to listen to his family’s arrangements, and he also advised me not to invest too much emotion in him to avoid getting hurt."

Gu Xiaoqing looked at the tearful Guo Donghua, her heart filled with sympathy.

"Han Xiao’s right, he’s not suitable for you. Pulling back now will minimize your hurt. You’ve seen his mother’s methods, even when it was just a misunderstanding, the repercussions were severe. If it were real, just think of how intense her tactics could be. You need to consider your family too; it’s not just your problem, it’s a family issue."

Gu Xiaoqing doesn’t want Guo Donghua to eventually hate Han Xiao because of this.

Guo Donghua smiled wryly.
