Gu Mei stared at Gu Qingcheng and said in a low voice, “I told you to stop him, so just go.”
Chu He’s face instantly turned gloomy.
Gu Mei dared to use a commanding tone to her. Her eyes were filled with fire as she glanced at Huo Sicheng.
“If you won’t say it, I won’t stop you.” Gu Mei had challenged her mother’s authority and was extremely unhappy. “I don’t trust any of your decisions because if you had a brain, Gu Qingcheng wouldn’t have been able to bruise you!”
Gu Mei’s own mother had just mocked her as a brainless idiot. She looked at her mother in shock.
“Mommy…”
Chu He’s face was cold as she stared at Gu Mei threateningly.
“Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng are already married. As her husband, he will definitely stay and protect her.” Gu Mei saw Chu He’s expression and knew that she had angered her mother. She quickly tried to persuade the game, “Not only did he not stay, but he also wanted to leave. There must be something fishy going on.”
“You worry too much.” Seeing that her daughter, Gu Mei, had softened her attitude, Chu He calmed down. “Gu Qingcheng is a proud person. She thinks she can deal with the two of us alone. Huo Sicheng is disabled, and she had to take care of him. If he left, she wouldn’t be distracted from taking care of him.”
“Mom, Huo Sicheng is the president of Huo Corporation. Does he need Gu Qingcheng to protect him?” Gu Mei was speechless. Seeing that Huo Sicheng was about to leave, she pressed the wheelchair to stop him. “If you don’t stop him, I will.”
“Don’t waste your energy on Huo Sicheng.” Chu He stopped Gu Mei. “Everyone knows that Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng are sworn enemies. They married because Gu Qingcheng learned about your affair with Qin Jun.”
“Moreover,” she added, “after they got married, when have you ever seen him stand up for Gu Qingcheng? He and Ji Sisi even made it to the hot searches to cheat on Gu Qingcheng. To put it bluntly, Gu Qingcheng had secretly rewarded Huo Sicheng so they could both work together to take revenge on Qin Jun and disgust all of us. Therefore, Huo Sicheng was just a tool to her. She wouldn’t mess around with him.”
“Mom, you don’t know how important Gu Qingcheng is to Huo Sicheng.” Gu Mei was worried that her mother, Chu He, was short-sighted. “Get out of the way. I’ll stop Huo Sicheng.”
Chu He didn’t look back at Gu Mei and the rest because Gu Qingcheng was already in front of her. She mocked, “What’s wrong? Do you want me to slap you a few times?”
Gu Mei, who wanted to stop Huo Sicheng, immediately shut up when she heard her mother Chu He.
She turned her head and saw that Huo Sicheng had already left the dining room.
However, she thought she saw a child beside Huo Sicheng.
Why did Huo Sicheng have a child with him?
The restaurant was booked, and other customers couldn’t enter. Why was there a child here?
Was she seeing things?
Gu Qingcheng laughed coldly and provocatively, “Do you dare to fight? Can you beat me?”
Chu He’s eyes burned with anger.
She dared to hit Gu Qingcheng, but Gu Qingcheng retaliated after hitting her. She was no match for her.
“It’s enough that you hit me. You still want to hit my mother?” Gu Mei stopped trying to stop Huo Sicheng and focused on dealing with Gu Qingcheng. “My dear sister, you’re a disgrace to the Gu family. Of all people, you had to marry your crippled rival and get cuckolded by him. You’re really embarrassing.”
“I don’t think I can beat you enough.” Gu Qingcheng wasn’t bothered by Gu Mei’s mocking at all. “I only broke your arms and legs last time, but if you keep talking like that, I’ll kill you.”
“Kill me?” Gu Mei sneered, “I’m standing right in front of you. Come and kill me. If you have the ability, kill me immediately. Otherwise, you’re nothing but a coward.”
“I don’t fall for goading.” Gu Qingcheng saw through Gu Mei’s thoughts and chuckled. “These are all old tricks. Can’t you try something new?”
Gu Mei’s expression turned ugly when Gu Qingcheng saw through her.
“Of course, there are new methods.” Chu He would not let her daughter Gu Mei suffer. She crossed her arms and said arrogantly, “Li Jin hasn’t told you yet that the Gu Corporation has taken away Diyi’s advertising rights for the Peach Lotus Cup. Moreover, my daughter Xiao Mei’s position as instructor seat is still valid. Can you guess how many of your students can pass? To be able to receive the support of a million yuan of prize money?”
The smile on Gu Qingcheng’s face didn’t change, but she clenched her fists, revealing the wrath in her heart.
Li Jing didn’t tell her anything about such an important matter.
If Gu Tianhao came out and pulled out from Diyi’s advertisement revenue, the company would lose millions.
Her school was famous for its advertising. This made the students work hard to practice dancing, earn a million yuan scholarship, and at the same time, become famous.
It seemed that she had been blinded by Huo Sicheng and had forgotten about her revenge.
“Diyi is your everything.” Chu He glanced at Gu Qingcheng’s tightly clenched hands. She knew that she had won this time and smiled proudly. “Do you think I don’t know anything? You’ve been trying your best since you were young. You’ve been trying your best to not disappoint your mother. You want everyone to remember that you’re the eldest daughter of the Gu family. You have to live as brightly as the stars.”
“You actually hate dancing the most.” She mocked Gu Qingcheng for being so successful only because her mother loved to dance. “Do you think you’re living well? You’ve been living for your dead mother all your life, you idiot.”
Gu Qingcheng’s face became pale, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with rage. “Chu He! I dare you to touch Diyi!”
“Just wait and see if I dare to touch Diyi! Gu Qingcheng, you were the one who tore us apart first.” Chu He smiled triumphantly. “Otherwise, we could continue to act as mother and daughter on the surface. What a pity. I want to see the Imperial Art that you are so proud of disappear with my own eyes. This is punishment for your contempt towards me!”
“Do you think I’ll lose just because I touched Diyi?” Gu Qingcheng gritted her teeth. The rage in her chest was so intense that she wanted to tear Chu He apart.
Chu He knew from Gu Qingcheng’s words that she understood the value of inheritance.
To her, inheritance was never important. Only Gu Tianhao cared about inheritance.
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the person who had appeared at the door. She smiled and walked up to Gu Qingcheng, raising her hand as if she was going to hit her.
“Even if we win half, we still win.” She mocked Gu Qingcheng. “If you win half more, you’ll lose completely. Little b*tch, go to your grave with your damn b*tch of a mother, Mu Xia.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Chu He and heard her insult her beloved mother.
Her mother, Mu Xia, was her Achilles heel. In an instant, inconsolable rage surged in her heart.
Before Chu He could hit her, Gu Qingcheng raised her hand and slapped her.
“You’re courting death!”
Chu He had been hit by Gu Qingcheng before, and she had been on guard against her every second of the day.
When she saw Gu Qingcheng raise her hand, she leaned back.
“AH!!!” She screamed, “Gu Qingcheng, you… How dare you hit me?”
At this moment, Gu Mei was very surprised because her mother, Chu He, had said that she would remove Gu Qingcheng’s advertising agency for Imperial Arts Academy. She had no idea that she would even attend the Peach Lotus Cup as a teacher.
However, it didn’t matter whether she knew or not. Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s pale face and the way she was holding back her anger made her feel extremely happy.
As expected, her mother, Chu He, was the most reliable. She had taught Gu Qingcheng a lesson.
If she took Huo Sicheng away from Gu Qingcheng and if Gu Tianhao, her father, were to take back her grandfather’s inheritance, Gu Qingcheng would have nothing left.
Just thinking about this result made her beam with joy.
However, she hadn’t expected Gu Qingcheng to hit her mother, Chu He, suddenly.
“How dare you hit my mother?!” she roared.
Suddenly, there was a clicking sound accompanied by a flash.
Suddenly, a group of reporters rushed in and surrounded Gu Qingcheng.
“Miss Gu, I heard that you stabbed your father and crippled your sister, Gu Mei.
You’re now hitting your stepmother, Chu He, in public..”
