Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 486 - 485: Proposal

The Gu Family members were a little puzzled, while Fang Shaohan and his parents felt relieved.

All along, they felt guilty and couldn’t imagine how they should face the Gu Family.

Now that they have gained Gu Xiaoqing’s forgiveness, they feel much more at ease.

"Well, I want to discuss the upcoming matters with you both. Our old man is already gone, and before he is laid to rest, I would like your permission for us to grandly welcome Gu Xiaoqing into the Fang Family. I hope the old man can hear that his grandson has married the person he desires."

"This..." Gu Ruhai was caught off guard by Fang Zhixue’s straightforwardness.

Li Xuemei nudged her husband’s ribs, then smiled and said, "Times have changed now. It’s not up to the parents to decide. As long as Xiaoqing is willing, we will support her."

For a moment, everyone looked at Gu Xiaoqing and Fang Shaohan.

He Cui saw her son standing there dumbfounded and, in a fit of anger, kicked him and said, "Silly boy, aren’t you going to show your sincerity and win over the girl you like? Or do you want her to come to you first?"

"Huh? Oh, oh."

Fang Shaohan hurriedly took out a ring from his pocket, knelt on one knee before Gu Xiaoqing, and said with deep emotion, "Xiaoqing, you should have understood my heart by now. I only love you. This life, the next, and the one after..."

After pausing, Fang Shaohan continued, "I know you’ve always been helping me—when I was paralyzed, when I was down, and even when I was isolated, you were looking for evidence to get me out...but I’ve never been able to accompany you in your most difficult times. So, could you give me a chance to stay by your side for the rest of my life, to make you happy, to not let you be hurt or lonely? Will you marry me?"

Gu Xiaoqing never expected Fang Shaohan to say such things one day.

In fact, Fang Shaohan did what she hoped he would do. When wronged, Fang Shaohan did not lose heart but chose to wait patiently.

Don’t underestimate Fang Shaohan’s patience. If he had caused any trouble, it would have had an immeasurable impact on the whole situation.

It was precisely because of Fang Shaohan’s quiet waiting that made Feng Qingyang think everything was under his control.

Including Gu Xiaoqing asking Fang Shaohan not to accompany her but to see her grandfather for the last time, it was because of Fang Shaohan’s struggles with the lizard and the ripper that they could hold out until Qing Feng arrived and everything was resolved perfectly.

It’s just like playing basketball—people always focus on who scores the most, who has the most rebounds, who made the three-pointers.

But few pay attention to those who provide screens, make quick passes, and diligently guard the opponents’ scoring points.

In fact, both play equally important roles.

Compared to Feng Qingyang, Fang Shaohan is in no way inferior. Feng Qingyang is flamboyant, stubborn, and reckless.

While Fang Shaohan is very steady, taking one step at a time; otherwise, he couldn’t have gotten to where he is now.

Suddenly, Gu Xiaoqing felt someone push her from behind, causing her to fall forward, and the ring conveniently landed in her hand. Amidst the cheers of everyone, Gu Xiaoqing threw herself into Fang Shaohan’s arms.

Seeing all this, whether it was Gu Ruhai, Li Xuemei, He Cui, or Fang Jianguo, they all finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The love marathon between the two finally reached the finish line, clearing the clouds and seeing the moon!

Fang Zhixue also smiled and extended her hand to Gu Xiaoqing, saying, "Congratulations."

"Thank you."

Gu Xiaoqing thanked her because Fang Zhixue had risked her life to save her.

"I’m waiting for you to call me sister-in-law."

Fang Zhixue said with a smile.

What followed naturally, Fang Zhixue hoped that Gu Xiaoqing could also attend Mr. Fang’s burial ceremony. This was why she uncharacteristically wanted to settle this matter before holding the funeral.

She hoped that before Mr. Fang’s passing, he could know that she didn’t hold onto Mr. Fang’s prejudices, that she brought a woman into the Fang Family who was no less than her, ensuring that the Fang Family would thrive for a hundred years with Gu Xiaoqing in it.

Discussions regarding the wedding details between the two families were generally harmonious, awaiting the selection of an auspicious date.

Following the initial agreement, Gu Ruhai sat with everyone from the Fang Family to ensure his daughter received proper respect. No one would belittle Gu Xiaoqing.

Next, the elder couple was invited to the Capital.

Gu Ruhai, together with his family, stood before Tiananmen Square in the Capital for the first time to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

Fang Zhixue and Gu Xiaoqing handled Mr. Fang’s affairs together, instantly becoming close friends, which amazed everyone in the Fang Family.

Fang Zhixue had always had the old man’s authority, even Fang Shaohan listened to his sister-in-law, and both He Cui and Fang Jianguo felt that Fang Zhixue must have absorbed the old man’s aura by being around him for so long.

However, why was it different when it came to Gu Xiaoqing?

"Mom, is it that I’m marrying a wife or that sister-in-law found herself a sister?"

Fang Shaohan was a bit jealous.

"You brat, you got the advantage and still complain. Get lost!"

He Cui teased back, unable to explain. Perhaps the two might have been good sisters in a previous life?

While sorting out the old man’s belongings, Fang Zhixue suddenly asked Gu Xiaoqing, who was tidying up the study beside her, "Did you really give up the South Asian assets and let Feng Qingyang enjoy his freedom?"

"Giving up has two kinds: one is mentally giving up, the other is temporarily lending it out. What is lent out will eventually be returned."

Gu Xiaoqing said with a smile while cleaning.

"Do you have a way to deal with Feng Qingyang?"

Fang Zhixue was impressed; she didn’t expect Gu Xiaoqing to have already laid the groundwork.

It turns out her worries were unnecessary.

"Dealing with Feng Qingyang is meaningless; I just want to dismantle his circle."

"You mean...that group of wealthy circles?"

"No, all the chains within his circle. South Asia will soon face a huge crisis, enough to make those Hong Kong businessmen planning to make a fortune there lose everything. As for the Hongdao Group and its gang, and those colluding with certain local key figures, I’ll present them with a gift, leaving the choice up to them."

Gu Xiaoqing said with a smile.

She had indeed traced the source of the arms used in the attack against her, and to her surprise, the arms really came from the local special police’s arsenal.

Thus, these arms became leverage against the local key figures.

However, Gu Xiaoqing did not intend to make a big fuss. With the return imminent, she just wanted to instill a sense of caution in the opposition, taking down that local protection umbrella in Feng Qingyang’s circle.
