Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!

Gu Xiaoqing was sure she wanted to vomit blood.

This person’s name must have been wrong; it shouldn’t be Fang Shaohan, it should be Fang Poison Tongue.

Truly a poison tongue.

And what essence is he talking about?

What kind of evil essence even I don’t know about?

Before Gu Xiaoqing could answer, a voice came from behind: "Gu Xiaoqing, is this your friend?"

Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t mistake that voice; it was definitely Wei Ziyun’s.

Could you show up a bit later?

I know your little gossipy thoughts, but could you let me catch my breath before you appear?

Isn’t this forcing me to suffocate?

Gu Xiaoqing’s face was a shade of iron blue, a telltale sign of being on the brink of explosion.

Fang Shaohan leisurely glanced behind Gu Xiaoqing and elegantly replied, "Hello, you’re Gu Xiaoqing’s classmate? I’m Gu Xiaoqing’s good friend."

The words "good friend" were obviously emphasized, showing this person had ulterior motives.

Then Gu Xiaoqing heard sounds of "Oh" and "Ah!" full of realization from behind.

Before fainting, Gu Xiaoqing turned around and saw Wei Ziyun and He Yan, along with Guo Donghua, of course, and those two iron-faced bodyguards of Wei Ziyun standing expressionlessly behind.

Faint!

What on earth is this situation?

Gu Xiaoqing really wanted to die.

Why are the most gossip-loving people right behind me?

Wei Ziyun was the first to rush over, enthusiastically taking Gu Xiaoqing’s arm, sending chills up Gu Xiaoqing’s spine.

Is Wei Ziyun really this close to me?

"Hello, I’m Gu Xiaoqing’s classmate, Wei Ziyun, nice to meet you."

Wei Ziyun’s eyes were sparkling with bright little stars.

Fang Shaohan politely shook hands and then decisively said, "Then I’m leaving."

The words were clearly directed at Gu Xiaoqing, but unfortunately, the person moved so fast that there was no chance for Gu Xiaoqing to object, just directly getting in the car and driving off seamlessly.

When the car’s silhouette disappeared from everyone’s view, He Yan sourly said, "Wow, Gu Xiaoqing, your friend is a guy."

"Isn’t this your boyfriend?"

Over there, Guo Donghua was obviously more eager to stir up trouble.

Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t help but hold her breath; not even jumping into the Yellow River would clear this up for her.

With the package in hand, she turned and walked away.

Leaving a few people still standing there.

Guo Donghua cursed hatefully, "What a thing, doing such embarrassing stuff and not letting people say anything."

"I think he’s her boyfriend; if he wasn’t, why would he come looking for her here? Relatives would go to her house, wouldn’t they?"

He Yan wasn’t to be outdone.

As long as things didn’t go well for Gu Xiaoqing, the two of them were determined to cause trouble for her.

Wei Ziyun, however, kindly tried to persuade, "That may not be the case; maybe they’re just friends."

There was a hint of envy in her tone.

Gu Xiaoqing returned to her dormitory and opened the package, only to find it was a dress, pure white, with a flower of the same color on the chest, a blooming rose.

Along with a simple letter.

It didn’t say anything special, just urged Gu Xiaoqing to study hard, focus more on her studies, and included some updates about herself and Bai Zhongyuan.

Also told Gu Xiaoqing to seek out her second brother Fang Shaohan if she needed anything, and she’d be back for winter break to hang out.

But looking at that dress, Gu Xiaoqing understood why Fang Shaohan said what he did.

The troublemaker turned out to be this dress.

Gu Xiaoqing furrowed her brows, but how did Fang Shaohan know there was a dress inside?

Could it be that he has X-ray vision? Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t believe this.

Then it must mean this package had been opened before.

The problem is none of this is important; what matters is the meaning this dress represents.

Gu Xiaoqing wasn’t actually a fifteen-year-old girl.

She was an adult with decades of experience, even though she had no romantic experiences in her past life, but she understood this as a psychological hint.

A subtle expression of inner feelings and affection.

No wonder Fang Shaohan was so sarcastic.

He probably felt that I was enticing his excellent brother, so perhaps this anger is justified.

Gu Xiaoqing suddenly understood.

If my excellent little brother suddenly had a fondness for a girl who isn’t exceptional, lacks highlights, and is worlds apart in others’ eyes, I’d also raise my quills to protect my family.

She chuckled, put the dress back in the package, and locked it tightly in the cabinet.

This wasn’t an outfit she wanted.

Not because of Fang Shaohan’s disdainful attitude; if she really had feelings for Fang Shaonan, even if Fang Shaohan used words a hundred times sharper to hurt her, she wouldn’t back down.

That would be a defense of her own feelings, which Gu Xiaoqing didn’t believe was wrong.

But the problem is, Gu Xiaoqing didn’t have romantic feelings for Fang Shaonan; it was purely a sibling bond, the kind of mutual support found among family.

Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t deceive herself into saying this was love.

In this life, no one can let Gu Xiaoqing settle; life should be lived as she desires.

Living true and happy.

Settling for less is not Gu Xiaoqing’s pursuit in this life.

So Fang Shaohan was really overthinking it.

Gu Xiaoqing laughed self-mockingly.

The matter seemed to pass, but what Gu Xiaoqing didn’t expect was that the shadow left by this ordeal was long-lasting.

Because a rumor started circulating in school, about Gu Xiaoqing dating a guy outside of school, and he’s a rich kid.

The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel✶fire.net

Simply put, rumors were spreading everywhere that Gu Xiaoqing was dating a sugar daddy.

The ferociousness of this rumor, Gu Xiaoqing was initially unaware of, mainly because her social circle was small, always focusing on the library and her studies, without noticing anything amiss.

When Gu Xiaoqing noticed her classmates’ odd stares, and even quite a few teachers began scrutinizing her with peculiar gazes, she realized something might be wrong.

However, her homeroom teacher was evidently quicker than her.

Gu Xiaoqing discovered the latest version of the rumor in the office.

Because her homeroom teacher earnestly advised, "Gu Xiaoqing, I know you’re a diligent student with great aspirations. The teacher believes in you, but the detrimental impact of this issue is too great. I, as your teacher, must handle this properly."

Gu Xiaoqing was embarrassed.

I really haven’t done anything.

Fang Shaohan is truly my nemesis.

Nothing good happens when I meet this person.

Gu Xiaoqing sincerely promised her teacher that it was a misunderstanding and explained Fang Shaohan’s identity. After all, Fang Shaonan was also a student at the school, and many teachers knew about the relationship, which was a lifesaver.

So the homeroom teacher immediately relaxed.

This was just regular family interaction. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
