Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack! Chapter 393 - 392: Daughter Comes First

Gu Xiaoqing smiled, "Mom, I’ve been thinking about this for a long ti. It’s already 1993, and in the future, Xiao Jie will face an ever-changing new era. He’s different from us; boys need to have a broad perspective and open mind, and he shouldn’t lack experience either.

You don’t have to worry, it’s not for long, just three months. I can accompany him because I’ve applied to a university in the United States and plan to study abroad for a year, to recharge myself. I can take care of him as well."

After saying what she was thinking, Gu Xiaoqing didn’t want to keep it a secret; it’s the kind of thing that couldn’t be hidden anyway.

Li Xuei’s eyes widened imdiately upon hearing this, "What, you want to study abroad? You’ve always had too many ideas since you were young, you never discuss anything with us. That place is unfamiliar, with new faces. How can we not worry about you going there alone as a girl? No, I don’t agree."

This was the first ti Li Xuei opposed her daughter’s opinion.

Gu Xiaoying and Liu Ming both laughed. Liu Ming walked over and helped Li Xuei sit down on the sofa, persuading, "Mom, don’t overthink it. The United States isn’t as bad as you imagine. Fang Shaonan and Bai Zhongyuan both studied abroad there, and look, they didn’t turn out bad. The knowledge they’ve gained is still a big advantage here in our country.

Besides, Xiaoqing said it’s just for a year. How long is a year—it’s over in a flash. Nowadays, many parents send their kids abroad for study, and when they return, they’re valued differently.

I think it’s a good thing. Don’t get upset; think it over and look into it, then you’ll know."

In Li Xuei’s eyes, Liu Ming is a down-to-earth good guy, a model son-in-law. What he said indeed made Li Xuei calm down. Yes, she should look into it further.

Back when Xiaoqing wanted to start a business, the family was dirt poor. If Xiaoqing hadn’t insisted, she wouldn’t have dared either. After all, there was so little money, and there were three kids at ho who were pale and hungry.

It took courage to make those decisions back then, to take that step forward.

So why not dare now?

The truth is, with sothing to their na now, there’s a sense of worry in their hearts.

Actually, the world for the children is still very broad. As Xiaoqing said, Xiao Jie is the hope of the family, the only boy in the family. He should go out, experience the world, and get so training; that’s the right decision.

Gu Xiaoying also persuaded Li Xuei, "Mom, even if she goes, it’s not an abrupt thing. Xiaoqing is not soone who acts rashly; think about it and look into it so more. It doesn’t cost anything, and if it turns out to be a good thing, you’ll regret it if you delay it."

This sister, known to be opinionated, so Gu Xiaoying had to stand by Gu Xiaoqing.

Li Xuei gave Gu Xiaoying a look and reluctantly smiled, "I can’t argue with you all, each one is my nesis, just born to worry us, your dad and I."

Everyone laughed.

Gu Xiaojie hugged Gu Xiaoqing’s arm, laughing so hard he could burst.

Gu Xiaoqing looked at the harmonious family and knew in her heart that there were so things that couldn’t be avoided, that had to be said. Soone is visiting tomorrow.

"Mom, you and Dad should both be at ho tomorrow, guests are coming."

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t realize she was a little nervous.

Li Xuei inadvertently looked up and asked, "Who’s coming?"

Guests?

They should be Gu Xiaoqing’s friends; Li Xuei understood at least that much.

She couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that this child has found a boyfriend at university?

"Mom, it’s my boyfriend, he wants to visit you and Dad."

Gu Xiaoqing knew she couldn’t avoid it.

Liu Ming imdiately gave a small knowing glance, secretly giving a thumbs up. The eldest acts really fast.

Gu Xiaoying and Li Xuei were both stunned, but Gu Xiaojie was happily asking, "Sis, who is it? Is he a classmate from your university?"

This is probably the answer everyone had in mind.

Otherwise, where did Gu Xiaoqing’s boyfriend co from?

"It’s Fang Shaohan."

A thunderbolt struck.

Gu Xiaoying and Li Xuei looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.

Fang Shaohan!?

How is that possible?

If it were Fang Shaonan, Li Xuei might have been more ntally prepared. After all, they had a foundation, having experienced that crisis with human traffickers together back in the day.

But Fang Shaohan, that young man who seems cold and reserved but ticulously precise in speech and action, that young man who drinks and chats familiarly with Gu Ruhai, that young man clearly seven or eight years older than Gu Xiaoqing.

Fang Shaonan’s brother.

What’s going on here?

Li Xuei felt a weight in her heart. As for Fang Shaonan, she hadn’t even thought about it, given such a high-status family, always hearing how people say to marry into a prestigious family. But when the door is too high, socially unequal, they won’t value their daughter much. Those won who marry into wealthy, prestigious hos, aren’t they secretly full of bitterness?

Li Xuei is no longer the rural woman who knew nothing. Over the years, she’s t businessn, even officials, and she’s heard plenty about the ways of the world. The Fang Family isn’t bad; it’s too good, which makes things a comparison.

By then, her daughter is likely to be wronged, unable to hold her head up in her in-laws’ house. How could she have a good life like that?

Li Xuei worries about her daughter’s future.

It’s not just Li Xuei who can foresee this; Gu Xiaoying can too.

That’s why they were so surprised.

Gu Xiaoqing has never been an impulsive person; she’s always calm and rational about many things, thinks a lot, and is very decent.

So what they could think of, Gu Xiaoqing also must have thought of.

Since she thought of it and still said it, it ans this is sothing Gu Xiaoqing has decided on.

Li Xuei sighed, "Xiaoqing, have you thought this through? Mom won’t say much, but I’m still worried. You need to think it over; this is different from other matters, it’s about your whole life. Although our family has money, we can’t help you much; life is sothing you have to live on your own."

Gu Xiaoqing felt Li Xuei’s feelings; this was a mother’s concern.

She soothingly held Li Xuei’s hand and said, "Mom, don’t worry. I’ve thought it through, really thought it through, that’s why I decided to try. If one day I’m really despised because of the unequal status and can’t live on, you must take back in."

Li Xuei gave Gu Xiaoqing a light slap, "What are you saying? You are your parents’ daughter, this is your ho. You can co back whenever you want. Besides, you’re my daughter; only you could be the one dismissing others, not the other way around. I can’t bear to hand my daughter over to Fang Shaohan, either."

"Alright, alright, your daughter is the greatest, is that better now?"

Gu Xiaoqing quickly sweet-talked Li Xuei.

The whole family laughed.
