Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 324: 324: Sister is not a man

The calm tone held no ripples, the gaze did not wander, and there was certainly no guilty demeanor.

All of Gu Tong’s expressions were completely taken in by Qiu Xue.

Qiu Xue understood Gu Tong; she had always been an open and honest person, with everything written on her face. Even if she had worries, she couldn’t hide them.

Likewise, this is precisely why Qiu Xue could manipulate her so effectively for so many years!

Qiu Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, all her original anxiety vanished into thin air. Her body felt somewhat weak, and she almost simultaneously sat under the birch tree.

Gu Tong glanced at her and teased, ”So even the goddess can let go of her image.”

”Sister Gu Tong, you’re always teasing me.” Qiu Xue pouted and said pitifully, ”Being with Sister Gu Tong, who needs an image? Comfort is most important.”

Gu Tong shivered with disgust, marveling at Qiu Xue’s superb act of feigned innocence. If she didn’t know Qiu Xue well, she almost would have believed her sincerity.

Qiu Xue enjoyed her act, and Gu Tong wouldn’t expose her, instead she embraced her shoulder and said, ”If I weren’t a woman, I would have married you!”

”Pfft...” Qiu Xue was amused and burst into a clear and hearty laughter, saying, ”If Sister Gu Tong were a man, I wouldn’t marry anyone but you.”

The most terrifying thing in this world is to be loved by Qiu Xue. Families would be shattered, husbands and wives torn apart, and homes thrown into chaos, just like what happened to Li Yan and Gu Tong in their past lives.

Gu Tong forced a couple of laughs and didn’t continue this topic, because she knew the next topic shouldn’t be started by her, but rather...

”By the way, Sister Gu Tong, it’s been a while since we last met, how have you been?”

Qiu Xue finally brought the topic around. What she cared about most right now were matters pertaining to Li Yan.

Having finally seen Gu Tong, she naturally couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

”Same as usual.” Whether it was routine or dismissive, Gu Tong casually replied, ”He went on a mission some time ago, just came back a couple of days ago, and we haven’t met or had any contact.”

She deliberately maintained her previous life’s attitude, being casual, indifferent, and not bringing it up.

Perhaps having previous experience, Gu Tong now needed to continue spreading this emotion.

Qiu Xue looked at Gu Tong, saying nothing, and her would’ve-been questions were extinguished by her attitude.

All she wanted to know was the progress of their relationship. Since there was no development, asking more would be redundant.

After all, the rumors she personally spread had already begun to soar; in the minds of the Countesses, she had already secured the position of the Countess.

As long as she got another chance to approach Li Yan, she was confident she could fully win him over!

It seems that Qiu Xue had already completely forgotten Li Yan’s past rejection, and was picking up her shattered self-confidence to prepare for another advance.

Of course, these things didn’t happen without reason.

The Countesses’ affirmations gave her immense encouragement, stirring all her emotions.

She understood the importance of rumors! It was time to seize the opportunity to continue deepening and achieve the effect she wanted.

Qiu Xue was truly plotting meticulously, just as she had in her past life. Everything was progressing step by step, without any change.

Of course, it must be said that Qiu Xue’s plan was perfect. Just based on the result from the past life, one could already see part of the scheme.

However, in this life, Gu Tong had been reborn from the ashes, and she wouldn’t give Qiu Xue any chances.

Gu Tong was now just watching Qiu Xue climb higher, countering each step, and eventually she would completely expose her conspiracy!

The future days were truly filled with anticipation.
