Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 351 - 350: Is It Really Over?

Guo Donghua stumbled along following Gu Xiaoqing’s steps, asking, "Gu Xiaoqing, what’s going on here? It’s so chaotic."

This kind of scene isn’t something you see every day.

He really couldn’t figure it out.

Gu Xiaoqing was speechless, "I don’t know either. Can’t you see we’re just innocent bystanders?"

Guo Donghua said unwillingly, "These young masters are always so unreliable. I thought your Fang Shaonan and Fang Shaohan were the most trustworthy and dependable people. Who knew they were the same, just passing you around like some kind of favor, acting like they’re Lei Feng."

She didn’t know what kind of entanglement there was between Gu Xiaoqing and Fang Shaonan, but after what happened just now, anyone could see they were using Gu Xiaoqing as a tool for revenge.

Previously, she had a good impression of Fang Shaonan and Fang Shaohan, but now she feels those rich kids and second-generation officials are truly hard to get along with.

True feelings are really rare.

"What do you mean ’my Fang Shaonan and Fang Shaohan’? I have nothing to do with them. They were just people I once had a liking for, but there was no development. If it didn’t start, there’s no need to talk about an ending."

Gu Xiaoqing said dissatisfied.

She was taking the blame for something.

What does it have to do with her?

There’s clearly no relation, she’s just being used as an excuse.

This is unlucky.

Guo Donghua patted his stomach, complaining, "But I’m hungry. There was supposed to be good food but we didn’t see any. I only had a drink. If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn’t have come. I’d rather have hotpot at your place. I insist, you have to treat me to hotpot, or else barbecue is fine too."

Too wronged, his stomach was growling in protest.

Gu Xiaoqing cheerfully hailed a cab, pulling Guo Donghua onto it.

"Alright, I’m treating. I’ll make sure you’re full."

She told the driver to go to the Gu Family barbecue restaurant.

They parted ways and went home only after filling their stomachs.

Gu Xiaoqing returned home to see the anxious looks on Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai’s faces.

"Mom, Dad, what’s going on with you?"

She took off her scarf and coat, not understanding their expressions.

Li Xuemei immediately grabbed Gu Xiaoqing and asked, "Where did you go?"

Touching her ice-cold palms, a bit worried.

This child probably isn’t feeling well inside.

Just now Fang Shaonan called, anxiously asking where Gu Xiaoqing had gone, which made Li Xuemei and them realize that Gu Xiaoqing had left in anger.

As for Fang Shaonan and Fang Shaohan’s intentions, Li Xuemei could actually see through them.

Having gone through it herself, she could recognize the look a man gives a woman he admires. If she couldn’t, she’d be a fool.

As a mother, Li Xuemei certainly hoped her daughter could have a good match. Fang Shaonan and Fang Shaohan were both good choices, and the Fang Family couple, He Cui and Fang Jianguo, were kind-hearted people. Even though they were in high positions, they didn’t have any airs and were quite easy-going.

If Gu Xiaoqing could marry into the Fang Family, it would be a good match for her daughter. In Li Xuemei’s heart, there was no issue of social status.

Furthermore, looking at Fang Shaonan and Fang Shaohan, Li Xuemei thought these two kids were good choices.

Fang Shaohan was mature and stable, Fang Shaonan was enthusiastic and charming. Both were good kids suitable for her daughter, but who would have thought after this meal something happened that she didn’t know about.

Young people these days, really don’t know what to say.

Li Xuemei didn’t know what had happened but knew something must have.

Seeing her daughter arrive home safely put Li Xuemei much at ease.

"It’s fine, I just went to have barbecue with Guo Donghua. We didn’t get a bite to eat at Fang Shaonan’s lunch, and if we don’t fill our stomachs, Guo Donghua would definitely complain to no end."

Gu Xiaoqing took off her shoes, changed into slippers, talking with Li Xuemei at the same time.

"Fang Shaonan called earlier, but it was unclear. He didn’t explain what happened, just asked if you were home."

How could we not worry?

Gu Xiaoqing smiled, "Mom, there’s really nothing going on."

Then she went upstairs to her room.

As soon as she entered, she heard the phone ringing. It was the private line in Gu Xiaoqing’s own room.

She flopped into the chair, picking up the phone, wondering who chose such a precise time to call.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Fang Shaohan."

Gu Xiaoqing was silent. She couldn’t quite explain how she felt about this man.

She had liked Fang Shaohan, that wasn’t a lie, but his sudden withdrawal completely surprised Gu Xiaoqing. A man who seemed so forceful suddenly letting go, and with such decisiveness too, without a hint of lingering attachment.

It had no resemblance to the Fang Shaohan who used to relentlessly pursue her. It was as if overnight, someone she knew well suddenly turned cold and heartless.

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t know where the problem lay, but wasn’t this what she wanted?

Still, she felt a bit uncomfortable inside, after all, it was an indescribable feeling. She had once liked him, someone with whom she shared memories and experiences no one else had.

Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t easily erase it all.

This might be an experience and emotion she would never share with anyone else for the rest of her life.

Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t deceive herself that it didn’t exist.

Maybe it’s the lesson of only knowing to cherish something after losing it.

"Is there something you need?"

A cold response, the only thing Gu Xiaoqing could do.

The person doesn’t care about you anymore, what more could you hope for?

This is dignity.

"I’m sorry about today. I didn’t expect it to get so out of hand. I’m sorry to have dragged you into this. I will definitely resolve it, don’t worry."

Fang Shaohan’s voice carried weariness and helplessness, something Gu Xiaoqing had never heard from him before.

She didn’t know what was happening with Fang Shaohan.

Nor could she offer any comfort.

"It’s okay, as long as you solve it. I’m fine, no problems at all. Take care of yourself."

Gu Xiaoqing wanted to end the conversation.

They were no longer suited to continue with ambiguous topics, mutual care, and concern were out of the question.

"Gu Xiaoqing, take care of yourself. Stay away from Feng Qingyang, he doesn’t have good intentions for you."

Gu Xiaoqing chuckled lightly, "Don’t worry, I’m fully aware of what kind of person Feng Qingyang is. I don’t need you to worry about me. Just take care of yourself."

"Then goodbye."

Fang Shaohan hung up the phone.

Gu Xiaoqing hung up as well, feeling desolate.

Just like that, it was over between them, as she said, something that never started doesn’t need an ending.
