Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 410 - 409: Encounter

"Can you help me talk to Brother Kang? I want to discuss something with him."

Gu Xiaoqing wasn’t just planning to let Xiao Wu off the hook. Since she had leverage over him, and considering he was a college student and an intellectual with ambitions, why not make use of that?

Don’t forget, Xiao Wu’s confession was in Gu Xiaoqing’s hands. Just having this information was enough to ruin Xiao Wu’s reputation forever if he became the main culprit behind a major case of blackmail and kidnapping involving five million.

Such a person, if trained with both carrot and stick, could still be of great use. After all, he originally ran the market for Wang Xiaoji.

When Gu Xiaoqing was barely able to walk, she went to the detention center to see Xiao Wu. He already had dark circles under his eyes and seemed completely lifeless.

Gu Xiaoqing only then found out that as soon as Xiao Wu got into trouble, his wife immediately filed for divorce. Gu Xiaoqing also had Fang Shaohan look into it a bit, and after figuring out the details, she went to see Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu in the detention center seemed like a walking corpse, devoid of any vitality.

"Mr. Wu, I heard about your situation. I’m sorry, because of my health issues, I’ve caused trouble in your life."

Gu Xiaoqing said gently, "Someone will be releasing you soon, and you won’t have any problems. Just like we agreed before."

Xiao Wu showed no reaction.

"Your wife only filed for divorce. Now that you’re being released without any charges, there’s still a chance to save your marriage."

Gu Xiaoqing continued.

At this moment, Xiao Wu finally reacted, looking at Gu Xiaoqing and asked, "Really? There’s still a chance to save it?"

"If it’s purely because of this issue that she wants a divorce, and you are being released without any charges, of course, it can be salvaged. I’m just afraid that your wife might not be divorcing you for this issue alone, then there’s nothing I can do."

"Impossible! Apart from this issue, I’ve always listened to my wife. She has no other reason to divorce me."

Xiao Wu said excitedly.

"You know my hotel phone number. Even though you made a mistake with this issue, it doesn’t mean we’re enemies. I also mentioned that if my father is fine, we’ll let it go. We’ve known each other, after all, I will help where I can."

"Miss Gu..."

Upon hearing Gu Xiaoqing’s words, Xiao Wu knelt on the ground, tears streaming, and repeatedly kowtowed.

He thought he had no hope left, but unexpectedly, Gu Xiaoqing kept her promise and let him go. He truly regretted what he had done in the past. In front of Gu Xiaoqing, he felt so small and inhumane.

"Miss Gu, I will always remember your great kindness, and I will surely repay you."

Gu Xiaoqing, while tending to her recovery at the hotel, was waiting for something.

In just a couple of days, Xiao Wu found her.

It was simple. His wife had been involved with someone else for a long time, and he had no clue while he was just working daily.

Moreover, the other person was wealthier and better than him, which struck a heavy blow to Xiao Wu.

"Miss Gu, can you help me, give me a job?"

Xiao Wu, his eyes bruised and fists clenched, knelt in Gu Xiaoqing’s room, repeatedly kowtowing.

"I came to you knowing I have no face. But I can’t swallow this humiliation. My elderly mother was angered into the hospital, I have no money, and I’m left with nothing. I’m really at the end of my rope. I know you can handle big matters, I beg you to help my mother, I will become a servant to repay you."

Xiao Wu kowtowed forcefully to Gu Xiaoqing, his voice filled with pleading.

Gu Xiaoqing was a bit surprised; she knew Xiao Wu’s wife had been with someone else for a long time. But she hadn’t expected her to go to such lengths.

Not only did she divorce, but she also took Xiao Wu’s child and refused to let him see them.

Originally, Xiao Wu swallowed his humiliation, as long as he could get his child back. That was the Wu family’s child after all, and people from the countryside ultimately valued passing on the family line.

People from the countryside hardly knew anyone here, and with Xiao Wu’s father passing away a few years ago, only Xiao Wu’s mother was left in Guang City. Xiao Wu would occasionally secretly sell things from the company for money to support his mother.

That’s also why, the first time he met Gu Xiaoqing, he accepted the hardship fee she offered him instantaneously.

Now he couldn’t even protect his son, and as cowardly as Xiao Wu might be, he couldn’t endure this. He went to confront his wife’s family with his mother.

Who would have thought they would be brutally beaten by his brother-in-law just after a few words? Even his mother was pushed down while trying to protect him.

Watching helplessly as his son was beaten until unrecognizable, forced to kneel and proclaim himself a bastard, the elderly woman fainted from anger.

The other party, seeing Xiao Wu’s mother faint, didn’t rush her to the hospital but laughed, saying it would be even better if she died.

Before leaving, they even threatened Xiao Wu, saying if he troubled their family again, neither he nor his mother would see the dawn of the next day.

"This is outrageous!"

Even Gu Ruhai, listening from the side, couldn’t hold back.

Gu Xiaoqing remained calm. Setting aside the truthfulness of the situation, not allowing a father to see his child alone was already excessive, especially since Xiao Wu hadn’t done anything wrong.

"Which hospital is your mother at? Take me to see her."

Gu Xiaoqing, who had only just been discharged, soon found herself in the hospital again. Of course, this time, it was to visit someone.

Before they even reached the ward, Xiao Wu saw his mother lying on a bench in the corridor. The hospital staff had thrown out all their belongings with neglect.

"What are you doing!"

Xiao Wu rushed forward, arriving at his mother’s side, clutching his belongings, furiously shouting at the so-called ’angels in white.’

"Our wards are limited. You haven’t paid for over a week. Not kicking you out is already a favor."

"I said I would get the money! Just wait a little longer, a few more days."

"A few days? You said the same thing last week." The nurse sneered with disdain.

At this time, the elderly woman on the bench barely opened her eyes and stopped her son, whose eyes were already red, saying, "Son, don’t waste money. Let’s go, go home."

"Home? Mom, where, where are we going?"

Xiao Wu lay on the bench, crying bitterly.

"Mom wants to go, go back to the old home..."

The elderly woman was very weak. If she indeed left here, she might really die on the way.

Gu Xiaoqing staggered a few steps, walked to the head nurse, and said, "Take them back inside. I’ll cover the medical expenses."

The middle-aged head nurse looked Gu Xiaoqing up and down, sarcastically sneering, "Oh, where’s this young girl from, acting like she’s loaded, playing the big shot!"

Suddenly~

Xiao Wu abruptly stood up, grabbed the nurse’s hair, and slammed her head against the wall, his voice turning hoarse and low as he whispered in the middle-aged nurse’s ear, "Say one more word, and I’ll tell you, I’m not afraid of playing rough. If you dare to speak to her in that tone again, believe me, I’ll tear you apart alive."
