Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 447 - 446: Acting as a Bodyguard

At the very least, Gu Xiaoqing wanted Fang Shaohan’s sister-in-law to admit her mistake; she deserved justice.

Back at home, the family finally had a warm moment sitting together, eating and chatting.

Gu Ruhai was desperately hoping his wife would come back home...

Of course, if Li Xuemei hadn’t been holding a grudge, she would have returned long ago. Now that the family was reunited, Li Xuemei had no reason to stay away.

So, she agreed on the spot.

This moved Gu Ruhai to tears.

After a peaceful night’s sleep at home, Gu Xiaoqing found Fang Shaohan at her doorstep the next day, holding a bouquet of flowers. As soon as she opened the door, he presented the flowers to her.

"Xiaoqing, you’re finally back."

"Shaohan..."

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t know what to do, as it might soon be time for her to avenge the grudge from years ago, inflicted by Fang Shaohan’s sister-in-law.

"Alright, Xiaoqing, let’s not talk about anyone else’s business today, okay? Let’s just talk about us, just you and me."

Fang Shaohan understood Gu Xiaoqing’s resentment, knowing that anyone in her position would feel the same.

He could empathize.

But he couldn’t give up because if he did, there would really be no hope.

Moreover, the fact that Gu Xiaoqing still kept in touch through letters showed that she hadn’t completely let go of him.

Just like a first love, no matter if you marry and have children, you will always remember the excitement of first love and the heartbreak of parting.

Many things can’t just be let go by saying, "I’m over it."

Furthermore, Gu Xiaoqing had noticed Fang Shaohan’s efforts.

"Shaohan, you’re here, come in quickly."

"Auntie, Uncle, you’re up early too!" Fang Shaohan greeted.

Gu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes and said to Fang Shaohan, "Stop pretending. My parents invited you over, you’ve already been inside the house, stop acting like you haven’t been."

Fang Shaohan was surprised, "Oh, how did you know?"

Gu Xiaoqing yawned, pointing to the glass on the coffee table, said, "The cup is spotlessly clean, the water inside is still warm, and there are droplets from steam condensation on the rim, clearly just brewed not too long ago.

My dad has his tea cup, my mom never drinks tea, my brother went to school, and my sister and Liu Ming left for the company early, who else could it be for?

Coincidentally, when I came out of my room, not only didn’t my parents ask me to have breakfast with them, but they also hid away. Isn’t this deliberately making you knock so I would open the door?"

Trying to fool her?

Gu Xiaoqing was almost shrewd to the core, not even the crafty Dean Zhou from Jiaotong University or Dean Chang from Fudan could hide things from her, let alone something so obvious.

With a wry smile, Fang Shaohan said to Gu Xiaoqing’s parents, "Aunt, Uncle, you must make the decision for me! I was genuinely waiting at the door early."

"You silly kid, knowing is enough, why say it out loud?! I met Shaohan while taking out the trash, quite sincere he is!"

Li Xuemei shot Gu Xiaoqing a glance, complaining.

Gu Xiaoqing understood that the family intended to set her up with Fang Shaohan.

Now, she was even more conflicted.

Should she reveal what happened back then?

If she were to disclose everything, should she also mention designing to split the family?

After all, her family wasn’t foolish, Gu Xiaoying would surely ask why the truth wasn’t told back then?

Even if to protect them, explaining Fang Family’s influence back then and advising them not to confront head-on could be understandable, right?!

This might involve Gu Xiaoqing and Li Xuemei’s strategy to let the family rise from the ashes...

Hence, if she were to speak, she might have to tell everything.

Not saying anything meant it was best if no one knew anything at all.

After weighing, Gu Xiaoqing chose to remain silent. Even if they knew now, the family could only watch, they couldn’t do anything, and making a fuss could ruin everything.

Moreover, Gu Xiaoqing herself had enough strength to counter the Fang Family and didn’t need to involve her family; if they thought of oppressing Gu Family like before, Gu Xiaoqing could ensure they suffered a lot.

"Xiaoqing, give me a chance, will you?"

Fang Shaohan looked deeply into Gu Xiaoqing’s eyes; he couldn’t miss this chance and wouldn’t leave even if his legs were broken.

Gu Xiaoqing could feel Fang Shaohan’s love and determination, she sighed and said, "Not today, I have a speech to give, I might not have time..."

"Speech?"

Fang Shaohan was surprised, how come Gu Xiaoqing’s parents never mentioned that?

"Yes, New Horizon is having a speech at Fudan today, and I’m the main speaker."

Gu Xiaoqing squinted her eyes, it seemed inevitable.

She wanted to see if Dean Zhou from Jiaotong University was ready to confront her; she had made her preparations.

"New Horizon? The education institution that’s blazing hot nationwide?"

"Yes, it was jointly founded by Guo Donghua, Ye Mingyue, and me." Gu Xiaoqing was somewhat surprised, she hadn’t expected Fang Shaohan to know about New Horizon.

Wasn’t Fang Shaohan in the public security system?

Why was he interested in education?

"That’s great, Xiaoqing, then I have to go with you. Rest assured, today I’ll be your bodyguard; if anyone dares to badmouth you, I’ll beat them so even their mother wouldn’t recognize them."

Fang Shaohan had indeed changed quite a bit, even saying things with a bit of crudeness.

"How boring, be mentally prepared, I might not have time..."

"No worries, I’ve done lots of bodyguarding in my life. Just consider me your bodyguard." Fang Shaohan straightened up his chest and said aloud.

"Bodyguard?"

Gu Xiaoqing pursed her lips and finally agreed, "Alright, I’ll see if you’re qualified to be my bodyguard~"

The New Horizon speech at Fudan attracted a lot of people, especially those eyeing a piece of the study-abroad sector.

Unfortunately, compared to qualifications and resources, they were too weak.

Now, New Horizon is the beacon of domestic study-abroad services; when it comes to studying abroad, no matter what your needs, it can fulfill them.

Here, you can apply to prestigious foreign universities or apply for work-study programs, all with a safety focus. New Horizon prioritizes safety by automatically insuring study-abroad students.

The first goal of this lecture event was to affirm New Horizon’s industry-leading status and its main advantages.

The second was to let students know about the black market of other institutions, where money might be wasted on unrecognized fake foreign universities, potentially ending badly and even being sent back. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Guo Donghua had been directing the setup early, and Ye Mingyue sat aside lazily, yawning as if exhausted from a wild night.
