Rebirth Counterattack with Space

Chen Qiuyu acted as if she heard nothing, completely unmoved. She stood there stiffly, her body shaking even more violently, murmuring repeatedly, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."

As she spoke, tears finally began to fall in torrents, uncontrollable.

Pitiful and helpless.

Her heart teeming with anxiety, she wondered why there was still no reaction from those two men. Weren’t soldiers always eager to stand up for justice?

Mrs. Lin just folded her arms, looking at her with a cold laugh and then at Wang Yingxiong with the same cold laughter.

In his anxiety, Wang Yingxiong pushed Chen Qiuyu, causing her to stagger, "If you don’t apologize now, wait and see how the boss will deal with you when he comes..."

The situation remained at an impasse until suddenly a man’s voice broke through with a cheerful laugh.

"Mrs. Lin, long time no see."

"What a coincidence, is Mr. Wang also here today?" Mrs. Lin was first stunned, then her expression turned excited and she smiled sweetly.

"Just had a small gathering with friends, about to leave." His eyes swept over Chen Qiuyu, and with an indifferent light chuckle, he said, "It’s just a minor waitress, why bother with her?"

Mrs. Lin was taken aback for a moment, then immediately broke into a smile again, "You’re right, Mr. Wang." She turned her head to Wang Yingxiong, "Let it go, it’s not a big deal, just tell your waitresses to be more careful when they walk from now on."

Wang Yingxiong quickly pulled Chen Qiuyu to tidy up the floor a bit and left with nods and bows of his head.

Mrs. Lin then turned to the man called "Mr. Wang" with a tone of pity, "It’s too bad you came at an inconvenient time, otherwise, I would have definitely invited Mr. Wang and your friends for a cup of coffee, but since Mr. Wang is leaving I won’t keep you longer."

"Heh, how could I let a lady pay? Next time, I will be the one to invite you." Mr. Wang laughed, and after exchanging a few more pleasantries, they said their goodbyes to each other.

At the café entrance, Chen Qiuyu, panting, caught up with Mr. Wang and Pei Kun, "Thank you, thank you both, thank you, Mr. Wang."

"It was just a small effort, really nothing worth mentioning. You didn’t need to come out specially to thank us. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by your boss for leaving your post?"

Only then did Mr. Wang notice Chen Qiuyu’s face red from running and that she was indeed a pretty girl. He couldn’t help but tease her, "Moreover, isn’t it a joy to play the hero saving a damsel in distress?"

"It might be nothing to you, but for a country girl like me, it’s a big deal, so I still have to thank you."

Chen Qiuyu seemed to blush, her face turning even redder, and she stuck out her tongue a bit, "Anyway, I’m about to resign and go to Capital City, so whatever the boss does won’t concern me anymore."

"But wasn’t the situation just resolved?" Mr. Wang raised an eyebrow, "Are you afraid Mrs. Lin will settle the score later?"

"No, it’s because I’ve wanted to leave for a long time. The gazes from men outside are too unpleasant, so I want to go to Capital City to see if I can find a job as a nanny. I’ve always wanted to visit Capital City."

Chen Qiuyu laughed apologetically and then suddenly waved her hands, "I’m not talking about you guys, no, it’s those men I mentioned that don’t include you..."

Chen Qiuyu looked at Mr. Wang with an awkward expression, appearing flustered for having said the wrong thing, which only provoked another round of laughter from Mr. Wang. He nudged Pei Kun, "Doesn’t your family just happen to need a nanny? What do you say, here’s a ready one, no need to look elsewhere. Take her straight back to Capital City and you’ve got help ready to go."

Pei Kun hadn’t answered when Chen Qiuyu suddenly cried out in surprise, "You’re from the Capital City and you need a nanny? That’s great! My name is Chen Qiuyu, and I’m from Yushu Village."

"You’re from Yushu Village?" Pei Kun originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard the words ’Yushu Village’, he couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes. Do you also know about Yushu Village?" Chen Qiuyu was delighted.

"So you’re from Yushu Village? Then why didn’t you work for Lu Group and instead chose to go out to work?" Wang was curious.

Chen Qiuyu was stunned, feeling like she had missed something since she was reborn? Wasn’t Lu Group supposed to appear several years later? How come it was already here?

"What, is it inconvenient to say?" Wang looked at the woman in front of him with interest, feeling that she was not as simple as she appeared. Pei Kun also frowned at her.

Chen Qiuyu shivered, her mind suddenly on alert, and without further thought, she put on a sad face, "I have no face to stay in Yushu Village anymore, I..."

She lowered her head and wiped away tears, speaking in a quiet voice, "I had a miscarriage and my uterus was removed, and I just got divorced not long ago. I always felt uncomfortable continuing to stay in the village--"

"...Sorry, we didn’t know." Wang and Pei Kun exchanged glances.

"At seven o’clock sharp, there’s almost two hours left. If you can make it, then wait at the entrance of Jiahua Grand Hotel, I’ll be departing to the airport then. If you can’t make it, then never mind."

Pei Kun looked at his watch and coolly said. Considering she was from Yushu Village, he was willing to give her a chance.

"Thank you, thank you. I’ll definitely make it." Chen Qiuyu was startled and then overjoyed. She ran off, then after a few steps, she stopped, turned to the two men with a big smile, bowed deeply, and continued running.

"This girl is quite interesting. A bit thoughtless—having had a miscarriage and a hysterectomy, and even after just getting divorced, she still remains so strong and optimistic."

Watching Chen Qiuyu’s retreating figure, Wang couldn’t help but smile, "Nowadays, it’s rare to see girls like her, but still, I think it’s best to check her background?"

"No need to specifically investigate. Since she is from Yushu Village, she shouldn’t be too bad. Well, when my brother and sister-in-law come back, just by seeing her, they’ll know her background," Pei Kun said indifferently.

"That’s right, there’s nothing to worry about with someone from Yushu Village."

Although Wang hadn’t seen Pei Kun for a long time, their close friendship and frequent contact meant he was quite familiar with the affairs of the Pei Family. Hearing this, he laughed, "It’s just like you to be so laid-back. You got a cousin who suddenly shows up and steals your limelight, and you’ve turned him into your idol without fear that your grandparents might play favorites and you’ll fall out of favor."

"You always have these messy family feuds of the rich and powerful on your mind. My grandfather has always said that any power that can be broken from the outside is mostly wasted away by infighting," Pei Kun disagreed, glancing at Wang before advising once more, "People have limited energy. Instead of wasting it on resentment, it’s better to cut through the mess swiftly. If something needs to go, then make the decision to let go decisively. The old ancestors have said, ’Let go to get—only through letting go can we gain.’

"You think I don’t understand that principle? It’s just that it’s easier said than done..." Wang was full of bitterness. His friend’s advice was not without sense, and he himself understood it, but he just couldn’t bring himself to make the final decision.

"You—you know, I won’t talk about it anymore. This kind of thing depends on you realizing it yourself. Just remember not to easily throw away certain bottom lines," Pei Kun said.

Pei Kun patted Wang’s shoulder, feeling a bit regretful in his heart, but he still had to respect his friend’s choices. He just hoped his friend wouldn’t realize too late.
