Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack! Chapter 222 - 221: Exposed (Second Update)
Xiao Xue’s words ca abruptly, and Gu Ruhe was also shocked.
Turning his head to Gu Ruhai, he said, "Big brother, is this how you treat your brother? I am your own brother, and you let your daughter humiliate like this. Are you really heartless enough to see die without helping? Do you want to see go to jail?"
Every word was an accusation, as if he couldn’t wait to pounce.
Gu Ruhai calmly looked at Gu Ruhe and said, "Do you have the nerve to question like that? Is this the attitude of soone asking for help? Yes, you are my brother, but I’m not here to be a sucker handing out money just because I’m the eldest brother, so Xiaoqing is not wrong. It’s not like we ca begging you for this.
You haven’t even dealt with your own ss, and you boldly co to us for what? This isn’t how you ask for a loan. Xiaoqing asked you where the money went, and you keep stuttering and dodging, not explaining clearly how the money was spent. You only think about making pay.
My money doesn’t co from the wind. If you want to help you, then you need to explain clearly what’s going on. Who is Rose? What’s your relationship with her? What’s her connection to this money? Otherwise, take your people and leave right now. It’s not so easy to take money without any clarity."
These words blocked all of Gu Ruhe’s thoughts and completely blocked his way.
Gu Ruhe was anxious.
What should he do?
The situation now seed far from ideal, making him feel increasingly out of control. His well-thought-out plans and excuses seed to fail instantly here.
He glanced at Gu Xiaoqing, who was calm with an indifferent expression. This niece seed unfathomable, and his pre-planned answers and excuses were exposed plainly by this eighteen-year-old girl.
Looking at Xiao Xue glaring at him, he wasn’t unwilling to speak; it’s just that once he spoke, the disgrace wouldn’t just be his—this family’s survival seed at stake.
But if he didn’t speak, Gu Ruhai’s attitude was clear: if you don’t tell the truth, you won’t get the money.
The deficit on his account was real, not a lie. If he hadn’t missed out on several promised kickbacks and couldn’t make up this deficit, Gu Ruhe wouldn’t have been driven by Rose to concoct this excuse to get money.
He truly felt stuck between a rock and a hard place.
He couldn’t help but secretly admire Gu Xiaoqing. Look at her, the intelligence of big brother’s daughter couldn’t be matched by the Gu Xiaomin in his family.
Ah, timing really isn’t on my side.
How did Gu Xiaoqing see through him like that?
Gu Ruhe felt his niece was like a troubleso spirit.
"Big brother, big brother, I’ll speak, I’ll speak, but this can only be said to you alone."
Gu Ruhe knew he couldn’t avoid it.
So he had to speak to Gu Ruhai.
Gu Ruhai was dismissive. It wasn’t that he looked down on Gu Ruhe; even a scholar should understand such simple logic. Who wouldn’t see through this?
Isn’t it just that little thing?
Even soone as dull as him understood; surely, everyone else in this room wasn’t stupid.
Xiao Xue slapped him.
A loud slap made Gu Ruhe completely deflated.
"Tell , do you take for a fool? Who doesn’t know what’s going on here? Explain clearly to ."
Gu Ruhe steeled himself, thinking things were already this way—how much worse could it get?
"I spent all the remaining money on Li i."
After speaking, he looked at no one, just staring at the cent ground.
He had the deanor of a dead pig not fearing boiling water.
Gu Ruhai felt a deep pain in his heart.
This was his own brother, the one he invested a lifeti of effort to support, a man with a high education and a position others respected, but privately so shabby and disgraceful.
Taking public money to indulge with won, while concocting flimsy excuses to scam money from him—this was his brother.
Gu Xiaoqing tugged at Gu Ruhai’s hand, soothingly brushing over her father’s palm. The hard calluses seed to record the toil of the past years.
Mr. Gu sat up suddenly, the wrinkles on his face deepening significantly, with eyes flickering with angry, shaful light, lips trembling, pointing at Gu Ruhe saying, "You, you... get out, I have no such son."
This nearly exhausted all of Mr. Gu’s energy, before he slumped back onto the k’ang.
Gu Ruhai helped up Mr. Gu, whose eyes were tightly shut, his breathing already very weak.
Gu Xiaoqing was also taken aback.
She hurried out, shouting, "Sister, start the car, grandpa fainted, quickly take him to the town hospital."
The nearest place was the town hospital, but this was the only option now.
No ti to get to the county.
Gu Ruhai carried Mr. Gu and ran outside. Gu Ruhe got up from the ground, hesitantly paused, then imdiately rushed up, closely following Gu Ruhai.
A vehicle departed, with Gu Ruhai and Gu Ruhe taking Mr. Gu to the hospital.
At ho, only Mrs. Gu, Li Xuei, and Xiao Xue were left with Gu Xiaoqing and the other three children.
Li Xuei was okay, but Xiao Xue was not. This incident with Mr. Gu was caused by Gu Ruhe. If Mr. Gu really died from this, they’d be finished.
Villagers were abuzz, many having seen Gu Ruhai’s car leave, with Mr. Gu and Gu Ruhe inside, and Mr. Gu really didn’t look good.
Nobody knew what had happened to the Gu Family.
Gu Xiaoqing pulled Li Xuei aside to talk, "Mom, grandpa doesn’t look well."
Li Xuei was also frustrated; coming back once brought so many issues.
Although Li Xuei wasn’t in the room earlier, with the noise so loud, she wasn’t deaf, clearly hearing that the third brother was playing with won and embezzling public funds, feeling imnsely angry.
Wasn’t this clearly seeing their own wealth and coming to swindle?
Li Xuei was genuinely fed up. Her in-laws’ family affairs seed never-ending, finally having stopped Gu Rushan with Gu Ruhai effectively closing the door on him, but now there was Gu Ruhe. Other families’ brothers and sisters-in-law lived harmoniously, helping each other, full of love.
In families with three brothers, if they’re good, they support each other for good living. This is the Chinese family philosophy; brotherly support fosters family prosperity.
But look at the Gu Family, it’s a pace of self-destruction that can’t be quick enough. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
