Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

So, these days Sima Xiaowen won’t be going to work, naturally won’t bump into Qin Xiaoyu and thus won’t be able to expose her lie.

Qin Xiaoyu really likes Sima Xiaowen too, not only is she beautiful, but she’s also bold and generous, like a blooming rose; Qin Xiaoyu enjoys the feeling of shopping with Sima Xiaowen.

It’s really all about shopping!

The feeling is indescribably fun.

"Since you’re meeting him tomorrow, you should speak first, don’t wait for him to find out and then be passive." Gu Qiaoqiao shared her opinion.

Even if the outcome is the same, the one who speaks first still holds a bit of initiative.

As for how to say it, Gu Qiaoqiao then taught Qin Xiaoyu some speaking techniques, which Qin Xiaoyu listened to seriously and modestly. However, soon after, she slumped onto the bed, leaning back, and sighed, "Sister-in-law, honestly, no matter how you put it, the facts remain the same, it just makes one feel so awkward."

Gu Qiaoqiao thought that there’s nothing awkward about it. If you speak first, he will definitely regret not speaking up first, or perhaps when you see him, he will quickly reveal his true identity to you. After all, for someone like Qi Fangxiu, if he really decides to spend his life with Qin Xiaoyu, he definitely wouldn’t deceive her.

His family’s current situation is commendable, except for the part involving his Second Uncle’s family where there is no peace. His father and Second Uncle Qi have been battling each other for years, not ending in mutual destruction but not reaching a significant harm either. However, the little brotherly affection that existed has been completely erased—it’s like they’re enemies.

Naturally, Old Master Qi focuses on his eldest son’s legitimate grandson, and considering the current branch, Qi Fangxiu is the most suitable heir. Thus, he’s typically blind to the elder suppressing the younger, but when it’s the younger dealing with the elder, he sees it as using the younger to sharpen his tools—fast-tracking his grandson’s growth is indeed beneficial.

Yet what Old Master Qi might not have anticipated is that this sharpening has worn down his elder son but hasn’t impacted Qi Fangxiu.

His schooling in the Imperial Capital, in part, sought an escape from family battles.

Otherwise, he may be seeking a way to end these internal conflicts quickly.

Gu Qiaoqiao was indifferent to Old Master Qi’s approach—each person has their own ideas. Old Grand Master Qin may appear decisive and ruthless but is too soft-hearted regarding his children, starkly different from Old Master Qi, who reportedly wears glasses and seems kindly, but is actually the coldest and most heartless.

Some even suspect that the second son isn’t biologically his.

Of course, those who say this are certainly sowing discord. Besides, the person who cannot accept this most is naturally the second son of the Qi Family. If he wasn’t biological, why would he clash? So, these people who said this have long been dealt with. He is certainly biological; otherwise, Old Master Qi would have gotten rid of him ages ago.

No need to say anything about blood tests—their features are evident. The brothers are only two years apart, and at first glance, they’re like twins.

This pair of brothers eventually became enemies—there’s much unknown behind this, but the information is enough to show that entering the Qi family’s doors isn’t easy.

Moreover, once Qin Xiaoyu and Qi Fangxiu are honest about their identities, Old Master Qi will surely be the first to applaud.

Although the families rarely connect, years ago, Qi Fangxiu’s grandfather stayed in the Imperial Capital as a junior to Old Grand Master Qin for a long time.

Currently, it’s not suitable for Qin Xiaoyu to know about these circumstances, as Qi Fangxiu’s true identity still requires him to reveal it himself.

Gu Qiaoqiao went over, sat beside Qin Xiaoyu, and gently patted her hand, softly saying, "Xiao Yu, you don’t need to be so conflicted. Initially, you hid your family’s identity for your own reasons, and others have no right to interfere. Now that you’re voluntarily revealing it, it’s a form of respect for Qi Fangxiu. If he’s truly as you described, he’ll soon understand and accept it."

Qin Xiaoyu’s eyes suddenly brightened. She sat upright, tilting her head to look at Gu Qiaoqiao beside her, "Sister-in-law, really?"

"My premise is that Qi Fangxiu is indeed as you have described him." Gu Qiaoqiao emphasized slightly.

"Yes, he is like that. He’s never deceived me about this."

She then added, "Moreover, in school, even if his family situation wasn’t great, many girls liked him, but he never had any messy affairs. He didn’t even look at girls he didn’t like, let alone talk to them."

"And those girls? They didn’t cling to him?"

"No, Qi Fangxiu doesn’t like them and doesn’t flirt, so they wouldn’t pester him."

Yet, her brows furrowed again, "Actually, there was a girl named Shang Juan who always liked him."

"Who is Shang Juan, is she from the Shang family? Is she related to Shang Qing?"

"Yes, she’s from the Shang family and is Shang Qing’s cousin."

At this point, Gu Qiaoqiao thought of a question and couldn’t help but ask, "Didn’t Shang Juan know you?"

"No, she doesn’t know me. I’ve never been to her home, and we’re not in the same department, so we don’t interact. I just know of her."

"Plus, Shang Juan has gone abroad now, probably to end her thoughts about Qi Fangxiu, after all, Qi Fangxiu’s family situation is seen as unacceptable by the Shang family."

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement, sincerely saying, "This is indeed true; the Shang family places great emphasis on socioeconomic status, whereas our Qin family doesn’t have this bad habit."

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have married into it back then.

Qin Xiaoyu nodded enthusiastically, which is also why she doesn’t worry about her family rejecting Qi Fangxiu. She wrapped her arm around Gu Qiaoqiao’s, warmly saying, "Precisely why I’m untroubled—I just worry Qi Fangxiu might hold a negative view of me."

Gu Qiaoqiao gave her an annoyed look, seemingly, women absorbed in love have diminished intelligence, "If he has a negative view of you, why be with him? Just kick him away early!"

"Sister-in-law, why do you think like my mom?"

"It’s not just me and your mom thinking alike, it’s most people—they’re similar. If he has a negative view of you, how can you two possibly be together? You’re exhausting yourself trying to win back someone who doesn’t care at all—what’s the point?"
