Gu Qingcheng’s face was pale and twisted.

“Who’s your family?!” She glared at Chu He angrily. “You’re really amazing. You can even produce evidence to frame me.”

Chu He narrowed her eyes slightly, and a smug and sinister look flashed across her eyes. When she looked up at Gu Qingcheng again, she quickly tried to persuade her, “I didn’t frame you. It’s true that you beat and scolded me. Qingcheng, don’t kneel. Let’s drop this matter.”

Gu Tianhao had been slapped in the face by Gu Qingcheng several times today, and he was furious with her.

“Chu He, you don’t have to persuade her. She made a bet herself. If you’re willing to bet, you must be willing to admit defeat!” Now that he saw his wife Chu He teaching Gu Qingcheng a lesson, he vented his anger and deliberately said to Gu Qingcheng, “Why aren’t you kneeling? Do I have to ask you to kneel?”

Gu Qingcheng saw the look on Chu He’s face, and she also saw Gu Tianhao’s gloating expression.

“It’s only a kneel? I’ll kneel!” She deliberately gritted her teeth and glared at Chu He, pretending to kneel, as if she was really going to.

Seeing this, Chu He snickered sinisterly.

In the past, she couldn’t deal with Gu Qingcheng openly because of Gu Tianhao. Now that Gu Qingcheng had angered Gu Tianhao, she would add fuel to the fire. Not only would she make Gu Qingcheng, who had insulted her, kneel, but she would also get her inheritance before killing that little b*tch.

“However…” Gu Qingcheng suddenly spoke up. She blinked at Chu He and put on a meaningful smile. “I also have evidence that you faked a fall to frame me.”

Chu He had been feeling proud of her success in framing Gu Qingcheng. When she heard Gu Qingcheng’s words, she was shocked and didn’t believe it.

“Qingcheng, Aunt said that if you don’t want to kneel, then don’t. You don’t have to say that you have evidence just to save face.”

“You’re trying to get yourself out of kneeling?” When Gu Tianhao heard Chu He’s words, he said sternly, “You must kneel!”

“Chu He, do you know? I predicted your prediction, idiot!” Gu Qingcheng didn’t even look at Gu Tianhao. She removed the brooch from her clothes and said to Chu He, “This is a camera. It recorded everything that happened just now.”

Under Chu He’s shocked expression, she played the video for Gu Tianhao to see.

The video of Chu He’s dive was displayed in front of Gu Tianhao. He had always believed in Chu He, but now he realized that she had played him.

Chu He saw the vicious look in Gu Tianhao’s eyes. She was so scared that she shivered and tried to save herself. “Hubby, it’s not like that. Qingcheng’s video is fake. She…”

Pa!

A loud slap rang out. Gu Tianhao glared at Chu He, “How dare you scheme against me!”

Chu He’s face was burning with pain. She looked at Gu Tianhao, who had slapped her in disbelief.

However, compared to Gu Tianhao slapping her face, Gu Qingcheng seeing through her plan was a slap to her face. She felt that Gu Qingcheng was terrifying.

She knew that Gu Tianhao hated being schemed against and would be especially careful to avoid being discovered when she used him.

Now that Gu Qingcheng’s video was in front of Gu Tianhao, he was smart enough to know that the video was real, so her denial was useless.

Damn Gu Qingcheng, how dare she play her like a fool. She thought she had won, but in the end, she had lost so badly.

She glared at Gu Qingcheng with hatred, wishing she could skin Gu Qingcheng alive!

Gu Qingcheng deliberately showed Chu He the triumphant look of a winner.

Chu He had never been treated this way before. She was so angry that she almost fainted after being provoked by Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Tianhao took advantage of the moment when Gu Qingcheng slapped Chu He in the face. A look of uncertainty flashed across his eyes, and he snatched the phone from her hand. He quickly deleted the video, then slammed the phone on the ground.

“Gu Qingcheng, I don’t care if you’ve had enough. Go back to your room now! Don’t you ever mention severing ties with me again!” he chided Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng saw what Gu Tianhao was doing. She smiled coldly, picked up the broken phone, and put it in her handbag.

“I’m a woman of my word,” she reminded Gu Tianhao and said meaningfully, “Do you think you can protect this adulterous couple by deleting the video?”

“Shut up! Xiao Mei is your sister! How could you scold her like that?” Gu Tianhao scolded Gu Qingcheng and warned her, “Behave yourself. I will give you justice for the recording. I mean it!”

Gu Qingcheng couldn’t be bothered to listen to Gu Tianhao’s nonsense, and she didn’t take his threats to heart.

She gently leaned over and whispered into Chu He’s ear, “Chu He, I’ve discovered all your secrets, especially my mother’s…”

Chu He’s pupils constricted, and she stared at Gu Qingcheng with wide eyes in disbelief.

Gu Qingcheng was very pleased with Chu He’s expression because she deliberately omitted the second half of her sentence about her mother.

After all, she did not know Chu He’s secret or the cause of her mother’s death. She had only said this to plant the seed of doubt in her heart.

A woman like Chu He must have done many evil things. She must have killed her mother behind Gu Tianhao’s back. Otherwise, she would not have been able to enter the Gu family so easily. Therefore, she had to point out the cause of her mother’s death to remind Chu He. This would also make Chu He afraid that she would investigate her mother’s death.

Once Chu He felt guilty and afraid that the truth would be investigated, and that Gu Tianhao would find out about these bad things, then the seed of doubt that she had planted in Chu He’s heart would take root and germinate. It would torment Chu He’s body and mind every day and night.

Not only did she want Chu He to live in doubt and guilt, but she also needed to use her doubts to help her investigate the truth of her mother’s death.

At this moment, she pulled her suitcase and turned around to take a step. The corners of her mouth curled up as she looked up at Gu Mei, hiding on the second floor but revealing her black dress.

“Gu Tianhao can protect you two for a while but can’t protect you forever!” She raised her voice and deliberately sounded angry. In order not to let Gu Tianhao realize her true purpose, she deliberately threatened, “If you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll never let you off!”

Then, she turned around and walked to the door without looking back.

Gu Tianhao watched as Gu Qingcheng left like a victorious female general after she humiliated him and Chu He in disdainful manner. He was so angry that he trembled all over.

Gu Mei had already heard everything from upstairs. She didn’t dare to go downstairs and face Gu Qingcheng, because she knew that Gu Qingcheng would hit her if she got angry.

That was why she dared not go downstairs until Gu Qingcheng had left. Knowing that her affair with Qin Jun had been discovered, she timidly tried to comfort Gu Tianhao. “Daddy, I…”

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Three slaps landed on Gu Mei’s face, causing her face and head to swell. She was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.

“Despicable!” Gu Tianhao scolded Gu Mei.

Gu Qingcheng had indeed left, but she stopped outside the door and looked into the living room. She saw Gu Tianhao slap Gu Mei in the face angrily, and she felt very relieved.

Compared to her doing it herself, letting dog-eat-dog was more interesting. Her move today was enough to completely shatter the harmonious family that Chu He had worked so hard to build.

The scene after that was even more interesting. She sneered and walked away.

At this moment, Gu Tianhao was so angry that he slapped Gu Mei again. He turned around and glared at Qin Jun. “You clearly know that Qingcheng is someone who doesn’t care about anything. I warned you repeatedly not to let her find out about you and Xiao Mei. You promised me that Qingcheng wouldn’t find out, but you didn’t do it! Tell me, how should we resolve this?”

Qin Jun didn’t know why Gu Qingcheng had dumped him, but he hated her to the core when he found out the truth today.

Even if this b*tch knew the truth, she should understand that he had physical needs as a man. She didn’t allow him to touch her, yet she still had the face to dump him?

“Uncle Gu, don’t worry. I’ll give you an explanation.” A sinister glint flashed across his eyes as he said to Gu Tianhao, “Three months. I’ll definitely get Qingcheng back and make her hand over her inheritance.”

“You better keep your word!” Gu Tianhao snorted and turned to leave.

***

At that moment, Gu Qingcheng, who was driving back to Wanmei Villa, dialed a number on her car phone.

“I need you.” After picking up the call, she hung up after saying three simple words.

In the kitchen of Wanmei Villa, Gu Qingcheng put on an apron and skillfully made a few delicate dishes. Then, she picked up the lunchbox and drove to the Huo Corporation.

Presently, in the Huo Corporation’s CEO’s office, Chu Yu, the handsome assistant in a blue suit, seriously reported about his work. From time to time, he would glance at President Huo behind the large desk.

President Huo Sicheng flipped through the documents expressionlessly. He looked focused, but it didn’t seem to be the case.

Chu Yu’s voice gradually slowed down. He stared at the piece of paper in Huo Sicheng’s hand that hadn’t been touched at all. He was very surprised.

President Huo had always been serious about his work and rarely got distracted when he was working. President Huo’s heart was not on work the entire morning. Even the coldness that he emitted was different from usual. There was also a sense of helplessness that he could detect.

Helpless?

Was there anything in Rivertown that could make the president of the Hunt Corporation helpless?

He had been working for Huo Sicheng for many years. Other than seeing Gu Qingcheng’s mood swings, President Huo had always been cold and heartless.

That’s right! Gu Qingcheng!

“President Huo, why did you marry Miss Gu when you didn’t want to?” he asked carefully.
