Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack! Chapter 348 - 347: What Loving Someone Costs

Apart from Fang Shaonan ordering the dishes, none of the four people said a word.

Normally as lively as a monkey, even Guo Donghua was uncharacteristically silent.

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t understand the situation, nor could she speak.

What kind of trick are these two brothers up to?

The waiter finished taking the order, took the nu, and left.

Soon, drinks were served to the four of them.

Fang Shaonan looked at Gu Xiaoqing and said, "I specifically hosted this al today to clear up the situation among the three of us."

Gu Xiaoqing gave a sidelong glance, wondering if this kid had been affected by what she said that day.

Is there really anything else to say?

Fang Shaonan pointed at Gu Xiaoqing and said, "Gu Xiaoqing, stop pretending you don’t know. Both my brother and I like you, which you are fully aware of."

Gu Xiaoqing blushed.

"Fang Shaonan, what are you trying to do? Didn’t I make myself clear to you the day before yesterday?"

Flustered and exasperated.

Fang Shaonan laughed, "That’s more like it. Your claws are always sharp, and I’m not used to seeing you so silent. Show your claws; I like seeing your fierce claws."

"Do you have a masochistic streak? I don’t have a hobby of mistreating people."

A bit annoyed, she scolded Fang Shaonan.

"The reason I brought you to this al is to make you clear things up with and my brother. I know you don’t like ; I actually felt it before. If you liked , you should have been aware of my feelings from the beginning or at least every ti we’ve t over the years.

But you have no response to my feelings, which ans you’re not interested in , right? If I didn’t get that, I’d be an idiot.

But I believe you feel sothing for Fang Shaohan, otherwise you wouldn’t have reacted so strongly when I ntioned your relationship with him the other day.

That’s because you have a sense of avoidance.

Since we’re all adults and can take responsibility for ourselves and our feelings, let’s be honest today."

Fang Shaonan turned to Fang Shaohan and said, "I fought with you, and your eye is bruised, and you deserved that for trying to steal my girl, especially your own brother’s girl. You can’t complain about that punch."

Turning to Gu Xiaoqing, he said, "I think since you’re not interested in , you should at least be responsible for yourself. It’s clear you feel sothing for my brother, so why don’t you two just be together? I think I’m being extrely magnanimous."

Fang Shaohan put down his cup, "Fang Shaonan, are you itching for another fight? Do you think if I hadn’t gone easy on you, you could have punched and still be sitting here nicely?"

"And stop trying to matchmake. There’s no possibility between Gu Xiaoqing and ."

Gu Xiaoqing was breathless, did he really need to hit so hard?

I never intended to cling to you.

"Fang Shaonan, you’re indeed wrong. Both of us have made it clear, there’s never been any intention of being together, so all your efforts are in vain."

Gu Xiaoqing felt a bit annoyed at Fang Shaonan for ddling; can’t she love anyone other than the Fang Brothers?

Just rembering Fang Shaohan’s disdainful expression back then, she really had no desire to make any effort for it.

Fang Shaohan chilled, can this woman speak at all?

Was there a need to hold onto a grudge from the past?

Besides, I made a lot of ands afterward.

Can’t you just rember my good points instead of the bad?

"Fang Shaonan, is this your idea of an apology dinner? Are you doing this on purpose?"

Fang Shaonan and Guo Donghua were dumbfounded. What is with these two people?

"You two really do seem well-suited. The problem is you both keep saying there’s nothing between you, yet isn’t this a case of protesting too much? Does this look like nothing to you?"

Fang Shaonan couldn’t figure it out; didn’t Fang Shaohan say during their fierce argunt that he was stepping back because of him?

I’m being as magnanimous as possible, yet it’s still unappreciated.

What are they up to?

"What on earth are you two doing? I’ve already done my best, and now you’re just playing us. If it’s because of , I’ve stepped back and even sincerely tried to match you two, yet you end up like this? What is this all about?"

Fang Shaonan was confused.

Fang Shaohan stood up, "If you don’t understand, stop stirring things up. There’s no possibility between Gu Xiaoqing and ."

Preparing to leave.

Gu Xiaoqing was ashad and wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Being humiliated in such a direct way is unbearable for any woman.

Fang Shaonan grabbed Fang Shaohan’s collar, "Second brother, what are you doing? I’m doing this for your own good. Just yesterday, you told you love her. Now I’ve stepped back, and you’re saying there’s no possibility? Why?"

Gu Xiaoqing grabbed Fang Shaonan’s hand and tried to pry it off, "Fang Shaonan, let go. There’s indeed no possibility between Fang Shaohan and . Stop ddling."

Fang Shaonan pulled the two apart and, unconvinced, said, "What’s going on between you two? No one leaves until you clear this up."

Gu Xiaoqing shouted, "Fang Shaonan, can you not be so impulsive? This is a matter between the two of us; what does it have to do with you? Is your family the sa as ours? Don’t you know what kind of daughter-in-law your mom wants? Don’t you know how suitable your big brother and sister-in-law are? Do I need to say more?"

She pointed at herself, then at Fang Shaohan, "What kind of person is your brother? He’s the deputy director of your provincial public security departnt, and the youngest one, right? He will go further down the road. And ? My family is a small ordinary household, and we just want to live a peaceful life.

Do you think your mom will agree to us being together? I can assure you, your mom is currently at ho flipping through all her friends and relatives’ daughters’ photos for Fang Shaohan and you Fang Shaonan, even those of big business leaders’ daughters, but definitely not .

I could help Fang Shaohan go far, but maybe just one step would result in us both being a burden. I don’t want to experience a life of being looked down on, living as a second-class citizen, or spend my days cautiously pleasing my parents-in-law, nor do I want to beco an excuse for failure in repeated title competitions.

So please, both of you brothers, spare . I just want a peaceful life, to find an ordinary man who can really love and take care of , at least not living a life of being looked down upon. My demands aren’t high."

Gu Xiaoqing said everything she had in her heart, which was sothing she and Fang Shaohan once wanted to express.

This is the truth, the cruel truth.

It’s not that the poor don’t have the right to love, but love consus ti.
