Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!

Embarrassed, he said, "Xiaoqing, this is ten thousand—it must be a mistake. You’re just a kid; you can’t possibly know these things. Brother, it really is ten thousand."

Xiao Xue also looked at Gu Ruhe incredulously. If Gu Xiaoqing hadn’t pointed it out, nobody would have thought much of it. But once it was mentioned, even Gu Ruhai remembered that the sponsorship fee for the city’s top high school was only ten thousand. Surely, the county schools wouldn’t require that much.

That’s quite a discrepancy.

Everyone’s gaze turned unfriendly.

"Uncle, if you’re going to say that, let’s straighten things out. My classmate Gu Juying is attending school at the county high school, and her parents said they only had to pay five hundred in sponsorship fees because they had connections as a military family. The highest anyone would pay is only three thousand, at most.

If you don’t believe me, I can call Gu Juying here to confirm it. We can’t just wrongly accuse you, Uncle."

Gu Xiaoqing smiled at Gu Ruhe, feeling justified, wanting to see what he could say. If he was using their money to support a mistress, Gu Ruhe was dreaming a bit too big.

Gu Ruhe choked; there wasn’t much to be said. If others found out, what would happen to his face?

He had no choice but to say, "Brother, the sponsorship fee was only three thousand, but the remaining seven thousand was used to grease the wheels."

He steadfastly refused to admit, thinking what could they do to him anyway.

Gu Xiaoqing dismissed it, saying, "Uncle, earlier, I asked you where the money went, and you insisted it was all for the sponsorship fee. Now, after I exposed it, you’re saying it was used for greasing palms. Are you just talking nonsense? If you think we can’t do anything about you denying it, you’re wrong. We can’t deal with you ourselves. Figure it out on your own.

Whether you end up in jail has nothing to do with our family. Want us to pay without saying where the money went? No such luck."

Gu Ruhai glanced at Gu Ruhe, feeling highly disgusted. He wanted to help, but now that it’s all coming to light, it’s uncomfortable and repulsive. If people still can’t see there’s something fishy, they’d be fools.

Xiao Xue suddenly lunged forward, scratching and crying, "Gu Ruhe, you told me you did it for Xiao Min, but I didn’t expect there to be seven thousand left unaccounted for. Tell me where the money went, or else we’re not done."

Seven thousand yuan is still a lot of money these days.

Who would just casually spend seven thousand?

Mr. Gu closed his eyes, unwilling to speak.

He knows his son, and Gu Ruhe certainly isn’t telling the truth.

But what exactly the issue is, no one is clear on.

Holding his head, Gu Ruhe said, "Brother, brother, I’m really telling the truth; the remaining money was used for favors. This time, I swear."

Gu Ruhai didn’t know if he should believe it.

Gu Xiaoqing cocked her head, saying, "Uncle, telling my dad is useless. He doesn’t know about your dirty little secrets, but that doesn’t mean we don’t. You can’t hide the truth. Just now, when my sister and I went out, people were already asking us about Uncle and Rose. I want to know, who is this Rose? What’s her relationship with you, Uncle?"

Gu Xiaoqing remembered the nickname, curious if the bluff would work.

She was sure the money was spent on a mistress.

But it needed to be made clear to the family what Uncle’s true nature was.

So that this never-ending excuse wouldn’t be used again, nobody wants an embezzler in the family.

If Uncle could target their family, someone must be advising him from the shadows. It’s believed Xiao Xue is unaware because she wouldn’t bow down easily.

Running such a bad idea to target them for a bit of money. Xiao Xue surely wouldn’t stoop that low.

Gu Xiaoqing thought, if you dare to reach out, be prepared to have your hand chopped off.

No one’s money grows on trees. It’s hard-earned and not meant to be given away freely.

"Who is this Rose?"

Xiao Xue was going insane. That name already sounded suspicious. If she couldn’t see there was a problem, it would mean her brain was the problem.

Gu Ruhai also frowned. What was all this about?

One could tell this wasn’t something good.

Mr. Gu was so angry that he turned his face towards the interior of the kang.

The situation seemed to be slipping further and further away from Gu Ruhe’s plan.

Gu Ruhe’s heart was pounding. Did it really slip out?

After being clawed by Xiao Xue, his face stung painfully.

Covering his face, Gu Ruhe didn’t know how to explain.

"I heard the villagers say that Rose sells goods at the supply and marketing cooperative and is a divorcee, rumored to be close with Uncle. That Rose supposedly dresses to the nines lately, said to be as fashionable as city folks," continued Gu Xiaoqing.

Unbelieving that Gu Ruhe wouldn’t speak up.

Xiao Xue let out a scream and lunged forward.

Gu Ruhe and Xiao Xue started fighting.

Gu Ruhai shouted, "Enough! Aren’t you ashamed? Stop at once! Old Third, come clean about what’s going on. If you won’t bother telling the truth, then don’t say anything to me. Get out of here if you’re going to keep embarrassing yourself."

Gu Ruhai didn’t want to get involved anymore.

Xiao Xue cried, sitting on the ground and cursing at Gu Ruhe, "You heartless bastard, are you even human? How can you do this to our family? Squandering seven thousand on a vixen, you actually went there, huh?"

Gu Ruhe’s face was in disarray with several scratch marks, his neck bearing blood streaks.

"What nonsense are you spewing? You shrew, look at yourself. Do you still look like an intellectual? You believe Xiaoqing just like that? What’s with all this Rose and Peony talk? I don’t even know them. How can you believe people so easily? What kind of person are you? So gullible."

Xiao Xue got up, rushing over to Gu Xiaoqing with anger, "Xiaoqing, explain clearly what you mean by this! If you don’t make it clear today, I won’t let you go. For someone so young, you have such ill intentions, trying to sow discord between your uncle and aunt. What are you plotting? Do you want to see our family broken and ruined?"

Gu Xiaoqing pushed Xiao Xue away. The spit flying made her feel disgusted. She turned to Gu Ruhe and said, "Well, since you say so, Uncle, it seems we’re meddling. In that case, you and Aunt should leave. Our little temple can’t host the two of you great Buddhas. Who wants to meddle in your family business?" (To be continued.
