Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack! Chapter 277 - 276: Brother-in-law?
"What about my grandma?"
Gu Xiaoqing felt a bit puzzled not seeing her extraordinarily unique grandmother.
Normally, Mrs. Gu follows Gu Ruhai. When Mr. Gu passed away, Mrs. Gu made a scene, insisting on staying with Gu Ruhai, enjoying the fine city life. Mrs. Gu isn’t foolish.
For her to not be ho now, it’s indeed peculiar.
Could it be that Mrs. Gu is not as feisty now?
Gu Ruhai’s expression was sowhat odd, awkward? Perhaps a bit, embarrassed? That seed likely too.
This indeed puzzled Gu Xiaoqing.
Li Xuei chuckled, and with that laugh, Gu Ruhai’s face turned redder.
Gu Xiaoqing definitely didn’t see it wrong; her father’s expression clearly showed embarrassnt.
"Your grandma has found a new romance, and she’s gone back to the village," Li Xuei held back her laughter, mostly because of Gu Ruhai’s mannerism—mocking him felt sowhat unfair.
Gu Ruhai wished he could find a crack and hide.
What on earth is going on?
Gu Xiaoqing was taken aback, no way?
Mrs. Gu is truly a genuine village woman; could she actually have such a trendy side? Gu Xiaoqing was speechless.
Truly shocked into silence.
This is the nineties, not later years where finding companionship is more accepted; even city folks find it hard to embrace, let alone a village woman. Could Mrs. Gu not fear being drowned in village gossip?
Quite courageous, indeed.
Gu Xiaoqing truly hadn’t expected this twist.
Feeling a bit sympathetic towards Gu Ruhai.
Gu Ruhai was irritated by Gu Xiaoqing’s gaze and snapped, "Don’t listen to your mom’s nonsense. Your grandma just went back to the village. She doesn’t have anyone to talk to in the city. Village folks are familiar, she has people to talk to."
He cast a glare at Li Xuei.
Li Xuei covered her mouth.
Alright, Gu Ruhai completely beautified Mrs. Gu’s actions; after all, he’s her son.
A son doesn’t find his mother unattractive.
It’s understandable for Gu Ruhai to explain things this way.
Gu Xiaoqing changed the subject, "Mom, Dad, I opened a milk tea shop at my school gate. Business is good. I’ve already earned back the investnt in the past half year and made so profit, around ten thousand yuan, and I even bought an apartnt there."
"Next ti, if you miss , you can bring my sister and brother along to Shanghai to visit . You can stay there and take a tour around, see the differences between Great Shanghai and here."
Gu Ruhai, hearing this, was indeed focused here, "I heard from Fang Shaohan that your milk tea shop wasn’t doing well. I didn’t expect your skills to be so substantial, establishing yourself quickly in Shanghai, having your own business."
Feeling sentintal, he was sowhat proud of having a competent daughter.
Li Xuei had more concerns, "Being alone outside, you have to be careful, not overwork yourself. We’re busy spinning around as three people at ho. Don’t let yourself be disadvantaged without help outside."
She was worried for her daughter’s hardships outside.
Gu Xiaoqing shook her head, saying, "It’s not hard. I opened the shop with my classmate. When she’s free, she also helps out, and I’ve hired two good employees."
Then she started talking incessantly about the Li Sisters’ matters to Gu Ruhai and Li Xuei until they were assured.
In the afternoon, Gu Xiaoqing went back to take a nap.
Too bad after an hour, Li Xuei dragged her up, taking her to the market to buy groceries.
It’s a family al today. Li Xuei hadn’t forgotten that last ti when Gu Xiaoqing returned ho for a family al, it ended less than pleasantly.
This ti she definitely wanted to communicate well beforehand with her daughter, and moreover, the future son-in-law was coming, must prepare so great dishes.
Thus Gu Xiaoqing was forced to play the role of a best friend, because the heavy lifting awaited Gu Ruhai on one side.
In Li Xuei’s endless chattering, Gu Xiaoqing sowhat grasped her future brother-in-law’s character.
In Li Xuei’s words, he’s honest and practical, yet not lacking in charm, knows how to make her sister happy, his parents are reasonable and understanding, without any suspicious history, and he’s also righteous.
Gu Xiaoqing created an image of this person.
Holding large crabs, they’re trendy city dishes, along with big prawns, things Li Xuei made the decision to buy.
The three of them carried bags back ho.
Once ho, they saw a Volvo parked at the entrance.
"Your sister is back."
Li Xuei looked at Gu Xiaoqing with caution and whispered, "You shouldn’t embarrass them too much. You can test him, but don’t scare off your brother-in-law."
Gu Xiaoqing pursed her lips; the heart already leaned to the horizon even before he’s officially the son-in-law.
Opening the door, the three of them saw Gu Xiaoying springing from the arms of a tall, strong-looking man, her face flushed, looking at the three of them shyly.
No need to say what they were just up to; clearly caught in an act.
Gu Xiaoqing gave a thumbs-up.
This doesn’t seem like sothing an honest person would do.
This Liu Ming sure has so tactics.
"Xiaoqing, you’re back. Co and et, this is Liu Ming." Despite her blush, Gu Xiaoying hastily introduced the two.
Gu Xiaoqing looked up, seeing a tall, muscular, dark-faced man, about 1.9 ters tall, with thick brows and big eyes, rugged features, eyes full of spirit, a bit naïve and honest in his expression, but the slightly curled lips made Gu Xiaoqing doubt that he was as straightforward as he seed.
Liu Ming reached out to Gu Xiaoqing, "Hello, I’m Liu Ming, your future brother-in-law. I’ve heard a lot about you, know that you’re the one who calls the shots around here, which made nervous for quite a few days, eager to earn your approval."
Straightforward, not hiding anything.
Gu Xiaoqing smiled and shook hands with Liu Ming, "Hello, I’m Gu Xiaoqing, your future sister-in-law. Treat my sister well, otherwise, even after you’re married, I have ways to make her leave with ."
That’s not just a bluff.
Liu Ming could tell; this sister-in-law is as fierce as rumored.
"Rest assured, my loyalty to your sister is unyielding. Also, my parents are very pleased with her, and once married, we’ll move out. My parents are open-minded and won’t interfere in our lives. So, I won’t give you any opportunity to whisk my wife away."
His response was a threat in return.
Gu Xiaoqing nodded.
Very satisfied.
Gu Xiaoying secretly pinched Liu Ming’s arm, wondering how he could talk like this.
