Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack! Chapter 481 - 480: I’d Rather They Die Here

With this level of insight, in the business world, Gu Xiaoqing might find it hard to et her match.

"Well then, my industry must at least hold so value, wouldn’t you say?"

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t receive a response from Feng Qingyang, which was as good as Feng Qingyang acknowledging her words. This was sothing she had anticipated and wasn’t afraid of.

She had long had a strategy in place, so naturally, she wasn’t scared.

"Speak, what’s your demand?"

Feng Qingyang sighed. Although he didn’t want Gu Xiaoqing to take the initiative, since the other party had already sensed it, he had lost his advantage.

Perhaps Feng Qingyang didn’t have feelings for Gu Xiaoqing, but he felt that Gu Xiaoqing was his ideal partner. If Gu Xiaoqing truly loved him, he would have a peerless supportive companion.

Alas, fate had other plans.

"Them, at least you’ll have to let my family go, right? If you don’t even release my family, then handing over my industry to you is no different than giving it away for free. I’m no fool."

Feng Qingyang paused for a mont and said to Gu Xiaoqing, "It’s possible, but it’s not possible to release them all."

"Release my family first!"

Gu Xiaoqing stared at Feng Qingyang.

"It’s useless, I can only release one person."

"Then I’d rather they die here." Gu Xiaoqing looked at Feng Qingyang and said solemnly.

Feng Qingyang was startled by Gu Xiaoqing’s words, breaking into a cold sweat. He was unsure whether Gu Xiaoqing was truly bluffing or if he should take a step back.

Honestly, he didn’t think that after killing soone, Gu Xiaoqing would still obediently cooperate with him. He understood that as long as a hair on Gu Xiaoqing’s family was hard, negotiations would collapse imdiately.

Because, Gu Xiaoqing was taking risks for her family, showing just how important they were to her.

Harming anyone might an that Gu Xiaoqing would go all out against him.

Feng Qingyang really couldn’t afford to gamble. Gu Xiaoqing’s business chain was too extensive, and he had no need to create a deadly showdown with her.

"Cough, cough, alright, I’ll let your family go."

Feng Qingyang took a step back, a step of pure helplessness.

Gu Xiaoqing watched as Feng Qingyang arranged for her family to be sent away, but she wasn’t in a rush. She wanted to wait until Xiao Wu received them and left Ancient City before negotiating further with Feng Qingyang.

Feng Qingyang had also anticipated this and wasn’t in a hurry.

Once Xiao Wu had received the family and escorted the Gu Family back to Shanghai, he notified Feng Qingyang.

In those days, Gu Xiaoqing indulged in good food and drink at the hotel, with nothing else to do. She could grasp Feng Qingyang’s attitude toward her.

Three days had passed since they arrived, and the Gu Family had all safely returned ho. Gu Xiaoqing was completely at ease, calmly sitting at the sa table with Feng Qingyang for breakfast.

"Gu Xiaoqing, you received the news; your family has all been released. So, shouldn’t you fulfill your promise now?"

Feng Qingyang wiped his mouth, lifted his head, and asked Gu Xiaoqing.

Gu Xiaoqing put down her chopsticks and looked at Feng Qingyang, saying, "I’m curious, what grudge do you have with Fang Shaohan?"

"A woman."

Feng Qingyang smiled as he spoke.

"A woman? You two are fighting over a woman?"

Gu Xiaoqing found it hard to believe that such a **** matter would involve Feng Qingyang.

"No, no, my feelings for her are like your feelings for your family; she used to be the woman I cherished most and who made feel warmth."

Feng Qingyang said wistfully, "Unfortunately, Fang Shaohan not only failed to save her but even caused her death."

"She liked Fang Shaohan?"

Gu Xiaoqing had almost guessed the situation.

"Yes, at that ti, Fang Shaohan and I had so small conflicts, but we were strangers who finally t, admiring each other."

Feng Qingyang nodded.

"Back then, I thought Fang Shaohan was a good person, worth entrusting. But to my surprise, he couldn’t save her, and she even lost her life trying to save Fang Shaohan."

"Then you can’t bla Fang Shaohan, can you?"

Gu Xiaoqing frowned, certain sothing had happened and that woman had sacrificed herself to save Fang Shaohan.

Though the specific details weren’t clear, she understood the general situation.

"I’m not blaming him, I just cannot tolerate him using the life she gave to love soone else."

Feng Qingyang looked at Gu Xiaoqing and said quietly.

"From the beginning, I knew Mr. Fang wouldn’t accept you, just like he didn’t accept back then. Mr. Fang is deeply prejudiced against rchants."

"What?"

Gu Xiaoqing hadn’t expected Mr. Fang’s prejudice was due to her being in business?! She’d always thought the Fang Family regarded themselves as nobles who looked down on her family!

"That’s right, your biggest hindrance with Fang Shaohan is you being a rchant. Stubborn old antique, deeply prejudiced against capitalism and the bourgeoisie like you. However, things are different now. Mr. Fang is nearing death, and Fang Zhixue admires you greatly. She’s bound to be in charge, and with her, there won’t be obstacles between you and Fang Shaohan."

Feng Qingyang saw through things clearly.

"Fang Zhixue admires... ?"

Though Gu Xiaoqing admired Fang Zhixue’s resilience, she hadn’t expected Fang Zhixue to admire her?

This made no sense!

"Of course, otherwise, it would have been easy to present a report that your milk tea was unqualified to ruin you back then.

Why did she leave the final qualified inspection report intact? Why didn’t she destroy or fabricate one?

It’s so you could later prove yourself. She wants to restore your reputation and protect you from the consequences of connections she once used to create trouble for you. After all, those people were just following orders."

Feng Qingyang and Fang Zhixue had similar tactics; unfortunately, Gu Xiaoqing was not who she is now back in those days, leading New Horizon to defeat him in the dark war.

"Including dealing with your family’s matters, she stopped just in ti, without going to extres. It doesn’t fit the style of a seasoned veteran; if she truly wanted to eliminate you, she would be ruthless. She didn’t do that because she likes people like you. She wants to bring you and Fang Shaohan together."

"So, you’ve decided to kill Fang Shaohan?"

Gu Xiaoqing imdiately guessed Feng Qingyang’s intentions; since she couldn’t kill, she decided to target the Fang Family.

Moreover, the Fang Family was at its weakest now.

"That’s right. The Fang Family is dood this ti. Since Fang Shaohan’s life was given by my foster sister, I have the right to take it back. After all, I can’t allow my sister’s life given to that man to be used to love another woman."

Feng Qingyang said obsessively.

At this mont, a waiter pushed a cart with exquisite desserts to the restaurant door.

"Is there anything else you need?"

The pretty waitress smiled sweetly and asked the two sitting there.

"No need."

Gu Xiaoqing wasn’t in the mood for breakfast, especially after just eating.
