Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!

Gu Xiaoqing felt her throat was extremely dry, and her stomach was rumbling.

She said embarrassedly, "I want to drink porridge."

This way, she could solve both eating and drinking at once.

Fang Shaohan went out and soon came back with a thermos and a bowl with a spoon.

The thermos contained chicken porridge.

As soon as the lid was opened, Gu Xiaoqing felt even hungrier.

Fang Shaohan served a bowl and wanted to feed Gu Xiaoqing.

Gu Xiaoqing raised her arm and moved it vigorously; aside from the soreness, there was no discomfort, and she reached out to take the bowl.

At least she wasn’t disabled.

After eating two bowls of chicken porridge, she stopped, knowing that after extreme hunger, one shouldn’t overeat.

Fang Shaohan tidied things up, then a police officer came in to ask questions.

Everything about that day in detail.

Fang Shaohan just sat quietly to one side.

Gu Xiaoqing carefully recalled every scene from back then, narrating everything in detail.

After recounting it all, Gu Xiaoqing felt tired.

Fang Shaohan gestured towards the officer, who put away the notebook with the notes and asked Gu Xiaoqing to sign it.

Then walked away.

Fang Shaonan adjusted the pillow for Gu Xiaoqing to let her lie down and rest.

Gu Xiaoqing quickly fell asleep.

In her sleep, the girl’s brows were tightly furrowed, her lips were bitten tightly, her breathing became rapid, and her hands clutched the bed sheets tightly.

Fang Shaohan knew this was a post-traumatic stress reaction.

Facing a kidnapping, especially one so dangerous, Gu Xiaoqing, as an ordinary person, couldn’t possibly escape repeatedly reliving such a nightmare.

This would take a long time to ease.

Fang Shaohan tucked the quilt for Gu Xiaoqing, and silently walked out.

When Gu Xiaoqing woke up again, she already heard Li Xuemei’s low sobbing and complaints next to Gu Ruhai.

"It’s all your fault. You insisted on going back for New Year’s, leaving Xiaoqing alone here. Now look, our daughter almost lost her life. Just thinking about it terrifies me, let alone her, a teenager. If something happened to Xiaoqing, I wouldn’t want to live either."

This was Li Xuemei’s unique voice, full of heartache and care for her child.

"Yes, it’s all my fault. I really shouldn’t have left the child alone. Don’t say more about it; if something happened to Xiaoqing, I, I..."

Gu Xiaoqing opened her eyes and asked, "Dad, you wouldn’t want to live either? What about my sister and brother?"

Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai both pounced towards her, each grabbing one of Gu Xiaoqing’s hands tightly, as if afraid she’d disappear in the blink of an eye.

Gu Xiaoqing saw Li Xuemei’s eyes were already swollen like walnuts, she looked so haggard, with several new wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

Gu Ruhai had stubble on his face and red eyes too.

"Mom and Dad, I’m fine. I’m just fine. They say if you survive a disaster, you will surely have blessings later. From now on, everything will go smoothly for me. Don’t worry."

She could only comfort them; these two honest, simple farmers-turned-entrepreneurs had never encountered such a dangerous situation before. Just hearing the police from Mount Hill that day nearly frightened them to death.

Thinking about their daughter’s narrow escape from death, their hearts were already scared to death.

"Why are you so unlucky, always encountering these things? When you recover, go with me to the temple for a proper incense burning and bow, we need to get rid of bad luck."

Li Xuemei immediately adopted rural customs.

Gu Xiaoqing nodded, following her parents’ wishes.

Actually, Gu Xiaoqing wasn’t seriously injured, except for a few scratches on her palm from fighting with Mr. Wu, which weren’t severe. The rest was really not injured.

But Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai still kept Gu Xiaoqing in the hospital for a thorough check-up before feeling at ease.

It so happened Mr. Gu was also sent to the hospital for a check-up.

The Gu family spent the whole New Year in the hospital.

On the third day of the New Year, both Gu Xiaoqing and Mr. Gu were discharged from the hospital.

Gu Ruhai drove his own minivan, a seven-seater, to pick them up, Gu Xiaoqing and Mr. Gu finally met.

Originally, Gu Ruhai was hiding it from Mr. Gu, saying Gu Xiaoqing was always busy studying.

Now that she was discharged, it couldn’t be hidden any longer.

Mr. Gu finally found out that Gu Xiaoqing had such a significant incident.

The old man was seriously frightened too.

Who had ever witnessed such things?

After a simple treatment at the hospital following a check-up, Mr. Gu’s body could now recuperate at home.

This was due to common elder conditions like brain thrombosis, but after medication, Mr. Gu could walk a few steps with a cane, although not much more.

While he still required long-term medication and exercise, compared to lying motionless in bed before, he was much better.

Mr. Gu had been well taken care of lately, with nutritious meals, his complexion filled out, and he looked much rosier, his spirits have recovered quite a bit.

At this moment, seeing Gu Xiaoqing, there was some guilt in his eyes, after all, in the past, he had given this granddaughter quite a hard time, those selfish deeds were witnessed by this child.

Mr. Gu wasn’t a shameless person, so he was a bit hesitant to talk to Gu Xiaoqing.

Gu Xiaoqing had already learned the whole story from Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai during this period.

There indeed seemed to be a sense of justice being served.

However, Gu Xiaoqing reflected on the previous life, it seemed Mr. Gu’s health hadn’t declined so soon before.

Even if it was brain thrombosis, it should have been after she turned eighteen, shouldn’t it?

Maybe it was the effect of her reincarnation, like a butterfly’s wings fluttering, altering outcomes earlier or later.

Gu Xiaoqing wasn’t narrow-minded; as long as Mr. Gu didn’t harm her family, after all, he was Gu Ruhai’s father, her grandfather, Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t be absolutely cold and unforgiving.

She wasn’t stone-hearted.

"Grandpa, take good care of yourself, you should get better."

Gu Xiaoqing proactively comforted Mr. Gu, giving him a way out.

Gu Ruhai looked approvingly at his daughter; she was indeed his thoughtful little girl.

Recently, Gu Ruhai had been worried that if Gu Xiaoqing uttered a few sarcastic remarks upon seeing Mr. Gu, the old man would be embarrassed.

He didn’t want the father to be troubled by the younger generation, but the grudges were left from the past, if it weren’t for the old man’s pressure back then, these children wouldn’t have such resistance now.

It was all cause and effect.

Gu Ruhai couldn’t make it difficult for the child.

Therefore, Gu Ruhai had been worried for a long time.

Gu Xiaoying and Gu Xiaojie were easier, they were easygoing kids.

But Gu Xiaoqing had been Gu Ruhai’s concern for several nights.

Seeing Gu Xiaoqing so initiative in letting go of grievances, greeting and comforting Mr. Gu, Gu Ruhai could finally feel relieved at last. (To be continued.
