Gu Qingcheng winked playfully at Huo Sicheng.
“I’m not telling you,” she said.
Huo Sicheng appreciated the quirky side of Gu Qingcheng.
However…
“Qi Shaoze,” he said firmly, without a hint of doubt.
“I told you I won’t tell you,” Gu Qingcheng said as she walked up to Huo Sicheng and playfully placed a potato chip near his mouth. “You’re asking for nothing.”
Huo Sicheng opened his mouth and ate the potato chip from her hand.
If she refused to answer his question, it meant she would meet Qi Shaoze. He felt a pang of jealousy and discomfort.
“You haven’t been to the company for a few days,” Gu Qingcheng observed Huo Sicheng and said, “I’m feeling better now. You can go back to the company and deal with some things. Don’t tire Chu Yu out.”
Huo Sicheng felt unhappy. “You care about Chu Yu but not about me. I’m also very tired of handling affairs.”
“You’ve been resting for a few days,” Gu Qingcheng retorted, glaring at Huo Sicheng. “Also, go back to Wanmei Villa as soon as you’re done. Xuan’er will be angry and miss you if you don’t come home for a few days.”
“I miss Xuan’er more,” Huo Sicheng admitted, speaking the truth. “After you finish your work, come back to the villa. The three of us will have dinner together tonight.”
“I don’t know how long I’ll be busy,” Gu Qingcheng replied, already walking toward the door. “I’ll try to get back as soon as possible. I’ll be leaving first.”
Huo Sicheng’s mouth twitched slightly, but he didn’t have time to say anything. He could only watch Gu Qingcheng drive away.
At this moment, Gu Qingcheng arrived at the cafe where Qi Shaoze often met. It was just like when he used to drink in the cafe.
“My queen,” Qi Shaoze’s lackey greeted Gu Qingcheng, “Why haven’t you been picking up my calls these past few days? Where have you been?”
“I’ve been on my period. Resting at home,” Gu Qingcheng replied, sitting down and picking up a grape from the table. “What’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to see me?”
“The officials of the Peach Lotus Cup are already promoting it,” Qi Shaoze said, taking out a document. “You know that Star Dream is an entertainment company and has always had a partnership with the Peach Lotus Cup. One of the contracts is to invest in Imperial Arts, and the other is that the winner of the Peach Lotus Cup will receive the best star treatment from this year onwards. I will promote the students of your school so that Imperial Arts will be the center of attention.’
Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow and looked at Qi Shaoze, who wasn’t looking at the document. “You’re a little slow to get information.”
“Slow?” Qi Shaoze was surprised. “Royal Dance’s investors have withdrawn their investments. Are you lacking funds now? How could he be slow? I’m giving you a ready-made gift that you want.”
“What do you mean by giving me a gift that I want?” Gu Qingcheng chuckled.
“That’s what you wanted to say, not what I wanted.”
Without waiting for Qi Shaoze to speak, she continued, “I told you that your news was a little too late, or perhaps you already knew about Royal Dance’s withdrawal and deliberately waited until the Taohe Cup was about to be held to show me this investment document.”
“You misunderstood me,” Qi Shaoze quickly explained. “How could I do such a despicable thing? Qingcheng, you know me the best. I’m dead set on you, how could I do anything to let you down?”
“Aunt, are you prejudiced against me because I’ve been urging you to divorce Huo Sicheng?” he said to Gu Qingcheng. “I know you like Huo Sicheng. I advised you to get a divorce for your happiness. Don’t worry, I’ll never ask you to divorce again. Don’t let our relationship become estranged.”
Gu Qingcheng looked deeply into Qi Shaoze’s eyes and didn’t say anything.
“I really didn’t do anything to let you down,” Qi Shaoze continued, looking sincere and pitiful. “My great aunt, you have to believe me.”
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and took out a gift box from his pocket, placing it on the table.
“By the way, after you left, Huo Sicheng came to me and gave me this necklace.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at the gift box, finding the necklace that Qi Shaoze had lent her at the clubhouse the other day. She had even forgotten to ask Huo Chengxi for the necklace.
“He told me to stay away from you,” Qi Shaoze said helplessly. “I ignored him. I took the necklace and left.’
Gu Qingcheng narrowed her eyes, recalling the scene where she saw Qi Shaoze and Huo Sicheng leaving together. A complicated look flashed across her eyes.
“The Huo Corporation has already invested in Royal Dance,” she informed Qi Shaoze. “You’re still too late.”
“You accepted Huo Sicheng’s investment?” Qi Shaoze was shocked. “You’re right to accept it. You’re his wife. It’s normal for him to help you. You need his help too.”
“I need his help?” Gu Qingcheng raised her voice immediately, angry at the thought of Huo Sicheng tricking her into signing the document. She also felt she might have overreacted. “Anyway, the Huo Corporation has already invested. You don’t have to worry about this.”
“There’s no need to worry about investing too much,” Qi Shaoze persuaded Gu Qingcheng. “Royal Dance can still work with Star Dream. I told you that making the champion of Imperial Arts famous is a very attractive condition.”
“No,” Gu Qingcheng firmly rejected Qi Shaoze’s offer. “Royal Dance doesn’t need to work with Star Dream because the Huo Corporation has invested 30 billion in Royal Dance. That’s enough to make it famous.”
“30 billion?” Qi Shaoze was stunned and laughed again. “Huo Sicheng really went all out to win your heart.”
Gu Qingcheng snorted coldly. “I’m his wife. If he doesn’t give me the money, who else would he give it to?”
“Yes, yes, yes. He’ll definitely give you a hard time,” Qi Shaoze went along with Gu Qingcheng. “Are you really not considering investing in Star Dream?”
“No need,” Gu Qingcheng rejected Qi Shaoze’s offer. “I thought you had something urgent to discuss with me. There’s really no need for me to rush over.”
“Can’t I just treat it as an emergency when I miss you?” Qi Shaoze snorted. “You’re heartless.”
“Why are you acting like a resentful wife?” Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Qi
Shaoze. She picked up her handbag and stood up. “I have something else to do. I have to go.”
“Oh, right,” Qi Shaoze stopped Gu Qingcheng. “Chu He has been looking for
Yuan Qiaolan a lot lately. You have to be careful when you get close to her.” Gu Qingcheng walked to the door without looking back. “Got it.”
“I haven’t seen you for many days. What are you busy with?” Yuan Feng asked Gu Qingcheng gently. “My mother asks me every day why you’re not coming to my house anymore. Today is just nice. Let’s have dinner at my house. My mother went hiking in the mountains a few days ago and bought a chicken.” Gu Qingcheng couldn’t wait to go to Yuan Feng’s house. When she heard that he had invited her, she immediately agreed.
At Yuan Feng’s house, Yuan Qiaolan was chatting and laughing with Gu Qingcheng. She was flattering her and trying to curry favor with her.
At that moment, Yuan Qiaolan’s phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and furrowed her brows. Then, she looked deeply at Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng was chatting with Yuan Feng and didn’t notice Yuan Qiaolan’s gaze.
“Ah Feng, the things I bought are here. Help me get them,” Yuan Qiaolan said, looking at Yuan Feng. “It’s in the black car at the entrance of the neighborhood. Someone will give it to you when you go out.”
Yuan Feng was chatting happily with Gu Qingcheng when he said, “Let the servant get it.”
“It’s very expensive,” Yuan Qiaolan tugged at Yuan Feng. “The servant is worried. Go get it.”
Yuan Qiaolan pushed Yuan Feng out of the door. She looked at Gu Qingcheng and said, “Ah Feng will be back soon. I’ll go to the kitchen to see how the dishes are doing.”
Gu Qingcheng remembered that she would have a chance to visit Yuan Qiaolan’s dressing room. She smiled and said, “Auntie, go do your work. I’m going to the bathroom.”
Yuan Qiaolan turned around and went to the kitchen.
Gu Qingcheng didn’t go to the bathroom. Seeing that no one was around, she went straight to the dressing room.
This time, she went straight to the wedding photo hanging above the dressing room. She turned her head to look and saw that there was indeed a safety lock behind the photo.
She took a look and realized that the wedding photo was too big. It was not easy for a person to take it down.
At this moment, she felt a vicious gaze coming from behind her.
She was shocked. When she turned her head to look behind her, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck and fainted….
