Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 412 - 411: The Fierce Woman Strikes

"Hey, what kind of protection is this? Do you know? After going through this incident, I finally understood the feeling Xiaoqing had when she was kidnapped by traffickers back then. When I was rescued, my hands wouldn’t stop shaking; I knew I was scared. Since then, I couldn’t sleep at night, afraid that someone might break in and kidnap me until I came back here and finally felt at ease. How did Xiaoqing get through it back then?"

Li Xuemei turned over, held her husband’s rough palm, gently stroked its lines, and softly comforted, "It’s all in the past. Everything is over. We will definitely live better than before."

Gu Xiaoqing returned to school; she almost got expelled for not attending classes during this period. Fortunately, Gu Xiaoqing is a strong self-learner, so she didn’t fall too far behind in her courses.

Guo Donghua was always curious: what did Gu Xiaoqing run off to Guang City for? Why did she come back limping?

"I stepped wrong off the hotel bed and twisted my foot."

Gu Xiaoqing replied helplessly.

"Hotel? Did Fang Shaohan go too?"

Guo Donghua asked mysteriously.

"Uh, yeah, why?"

"You two must have already..." As Guo Donghua spoke, she overlapped her thumbs and twisted them, "Are you planning on making it a done deal?"

Gu Xiaoqing was totally impressed that this little girl knew even about such things.

"Am I that shameless? What done deal, I wouldn’t! I just went to see how the market is in Guang City. Don’t you think our milk tea shops have fewer franchises in the south? Most of them are in the north?"

Guo Donghua blinked and asked, "Yeah, so what?"

"Nothing, just thinking about how to come up with something novel."

"Speaking of new things, that day Li Caiqing let me try something really good, called fried yogurt. You should try it too! The taste... how to say, it’s pretty good, but a bit strange."

Gu Xiaoqing was taken aback, not expecting the Li Sisters to act so quickly in coming up with fried yogurt.

She went with Guo Donghua to the shop.

Sure enough, as soon as the fried yogurt appeared, and together with family-size portions, the milk tea shop returned to its usual bustling scene.

Guo Donghua brought out a cup of fried yogurt, Gu Xiaoqing tasted a few bites and frowned, "Well, it’s not bad, just that there should be more of other things in it. It’s too sour."

Gu Xiaoqing thought the added red bean paste, raisins, sesame, and crushed peanuts were fine. But the taste was slightly off compared to what she’d had in her previous life, and it was more sour.

"Have them try again, maybe by adding some canned fruits like peach or lychee to enhance the flavor and dilute the sourness a bit. Adjust the sugar content too." Gu Xiaoqing wasn’t sure if it would work, but she refused to use any artificial flavoring.

Her principle was that she’d rather do nothing than engage in actions going against her conscience.

Guo Donghua blinked and asked curiously, "Aren’t you curious?"

"Curious about what?"

"I hadn’t eaten it before." Guo Donghua finished the cup of fried yogurt, looking very satisfied.

"I suggested they research it, of course, I’ve eaten it. If you eat more, you’ll turn into a little pig. Then no one will want you, let’s see what you’ll do."

Gu Xiaoqing playfully poked Guo Donghua on the forehead, teasing.

Guo Donghua cuddled Gu Xiaoqing’s arm like a child, acting spoiled: "If no one wants me, I’ll just marry you. You’re young and wealthy, the ’golden bachelor’ in my heart!"

"You cheeky girl, I never realized you had such ’sister-like’ tendencies. I’ll tickle you!"

The two of them got into a playful tussle.

Just then, a cough suddenly came from behind them.

"Excuse me, do you know where the owner of this shop, Gu Xiaoqing, is?"

Guo Donghua looked up to see a tall, straight woman who gave off a very dominant and authoritative aura.

She glanced at Gu Xiaoqing and then asked, "Why are you looking for her?"

This woman turned her head to look at Gu Xiaoqing beside Guo Donghua, smiling, "So you’re Gu Xiaoqing?"

What amazing insight!

"Yes, I am Gu Xiaoqing. May I ask who you are?"

Since she was already recognized, Gu Xiaoqing stood forward with a smile and acknowledged.

"To cut a long story short, I am Fang Shaohan’s sister-in-law. Our family elder asked me to bring a message: you should break up soon, it will be better for both of you."

"Why? Who do you think you are, daring to interfere in a couple’s relationship..."

Guo Donghua, seeing the situation, angrily shouted at the other woman.

However, the woman seemed to pay no mind to this young girl, only looking at Gu Xiaoqing as if waiting for her response.

Gu Xiaoqing was silent for a moment, then shook her head at the woman, "Sorry, that’s not possible."

"Very well."

Having received an answer, the woman turned and left decisively.

After starting her car, the woman drove up next to the two girls, rolled down her window, and looked at Gu Xiaoqing. "Then please be prepared for war."

With that, she stepped on the gas and disappeared from Gu Xiaoqing’s and Guo Donghua’s sight.

Guo Donghua was very annoyed, yelling in the direction the woman left, "Who do you think you are, talking about war? Do you think it’s still the anti-Japanese war? Silly woman, crazy, Xiaoqing let’s go, she must have a screw loose."

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t have time to think before being pulled away by Guo Donghua.

That night, Gu Xiaoqing called Fang Shaohan to ask about his inexplicably intrusive sister-in-law.

As soon as she mentioned the sister-in-law, Fang Shaohan got anxious and asked, "Did she say anything to you?"

Hearing Fang Shaohan’s tense tone, Gu Xiaoqing curiously asked, "What’s up? She talked about war, said I should prepare or something."

"Damn it. Xiaoqing, be careful. My sister-in-law is tough to deal with. She is the daughter of my grandfather’s old war comrade. During the anti-Japanese war, her father died, and my grandpa raised her as his own daughter. Her marriage to my brother was also arranged by my grandfather. Her actions represent my grandfather’s wishes."

"It’s okay, everyone can have a sit-down talk. I believe she..."

Gu Xiaoqing felt Fang Shaohan was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"It’s no good, my sister-in-law is always swift and ruthless. As Grandpa says, she’s the Fang Family’s fangs, a role model for our men. Since she mentioned war, be extra careful with her; she’s the strongest female soldier in special forces, having carried out missions around the world with hands stained with blood."

Fang Shaohan considered himself on par with anyone his age, yet he feared his sister-in-law a lot.

"You’re scaring me a little,"

Gu Xiaoqing shied back and said half-jokingly.
