Chapter 164: Protecting His Wife With a Passion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qin Jun’s expression turned extremely ugly when he heard Gu Tianhao’s words.
If Gu Qingcheng hadn’t married Huo Sicheng, he would have been Gu Tianhao’s future son-in-law.
There were no sons in the Gu family, and Gu Qingcheng was the eldest daughter. As long as he married Gu Qingcheng, he would be part of the Gu family as the son-in-law of the eldest daughter. In the future, the Gu Corporation would belong to him alone.
In the end, Huo Sicheng ruined everything and even took his woman.
Now that Gu Tianhao asked Huo Sicheng to call him father-in-law, he had been used and abandoned by Gu Tianhao!
He was so angry that his chest heaved up and down as he looked at his father, Qin Chong.
No one knew his son better than his father. Gu Tianhao called Qin Chong ‘father-in-law’ and made him look at his son, Qin Jun. He used his eyes to comfort his son, Qin Jun, to endure.
“Tianhao, my cousin can’t call you father-in-law.” He looked at Gu Tianhao with displeasure. “I can’t accept my cousin marrying your daughter, Gu Qingcheng.”
Gu Tianhao looked at Qin Chong and comforted him. “Ah Chong, since Sicheng and my daughter are already married, let’s just forget about everything that happened before. We’re all family and friends. There’s no need to fight and break up. You and I are the best brothers. Please respect my decision and let us all start anew.”
When Qin Chong heard Gu Tianhao’s words, he seemed to be restrained by the word ‘brother’. After a long time, he seemed to be forced to reply in a sullen manner, “Good! Everything that happened between us is written off!”
Chu He heard the conversation between Gu Tianhao and Qin Chong, and her eyes flashed with ridicule.
She knew that Gu Tianhao and Qin Chong had written off Huo Sicheng on the surface, but in reality, it was all for the energy contract.
In the next moment, she glanced at Qin Jun. The two of them had ugly expressions on their faces. They also tacitly understood that they were abandoned.
Gu Qingcheng was smiling as she looked at Qin Chong and Gu Tianhao.
Qin Chong and the other two men were all trying to repair their relationship with Huo Sicheng. It was obvious that Huo Sicheng was very powerful. He was so powerful that the arrogant Qin Chong and Gu Tianhao lost completely. However, for the sake of energy, they could only throw away their old faces and admit defeat and beg Huo Sicheng.
It was such an energy contract that could make Gu Tianhao and Qin Chong lower their heads, but Huo Sicheng had given it to her so casually. This way of slapping Gu Tianhao and the others in the face made her feel relieved and happy.
She looked at Huo Sicheng and saw that his expression was indifferent.
Her hand under the table reached out to Huo Sicheng. She was about to hold his hand, but the moment her fingertips touched his hand, he grabbed it instead.
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng with his dark, cold eyes. Seeing her surprised, his eyes softened.
His fingers gently caressed her palm, filled with tenderness.
“Thank you, brother.” Gu Tianhao thanked Qin Chong and then looked at Huo Sicheng. “Sicheng, the Qin family, the Gu family, and Huo family. Whether it was in the past or now, the three of us have always been one family. This family naturally can’t talk about two different things. Since you married my daughter, you have to change your address to father-in-law.”
Gu Qingcheng saw that Gu Tianhao and the others had finished their performance. She was straightforward, and she opened her mouth to mock them. “What are you thinking… beautiful.”
“I think you’re wrong.” Huo Sicheng raised his voice slightly to suppress Gu Qingcheng’s voice. He tightened his grip on Gu Qingcheng’s hand. “I didn’t marry Qingcheng. Qingcheng married me.”
Gu Tianhao, Qin Chong, and the others looked at each other, as if they had not expected Huo Sicheng to say such a thing.
Gu Qingcheng was speechless.
She looked at Huo Sicheng in shock, not understanding what he meant.
In her heart, she was the one who took the initiative to confess to him and propose to him. In fact, she was indeed the one who married him.
That was why she didn’t refute Huo Sicheng when he said that she was being sarcastic. This was because a husband and wife had to respect each other fairly. It did not matter who married whom. The main thing was that the husband and wife loved each other.
On the other hand, when Huo Sicheng said that she would marry him, his actions were baffling. Was she trying to trick him? Or him?
Gu Tianhao did not expect Huo Sicheng to say such a thing.
As the president of Huo Corporation, Huo Sicheng had more power and status than Gu Qingcheng, except for his disability.
Since ancient times, there had been no reason for a woman to marry a man.
Moreover, Huo Sicheng was a man. If he married Gu Qingcheng as a man, Gu Qingcheng would be given the surname Mrs. Huo, which meant that Huo Sicheng would marry Gu Qingcheng.
“Sicheng, you are wrong.” He calmed himself down and looked at Huo Sicheng in shock. “You married my daughter, Gu Qingcheng, not her.”
The chauvinistic Qin Chong was infuriated by Huo Sicheng’s words.
He hated women more than men, and he hated Gu Qingcheng, the shameless woman.
Gu Qingcheng was just a woman. How could she marry a man like Huo Sicheng?
Since ancient times, women had been men’s private property. They were not qualified to tell men what to do. They should kneel on the ground and be men’s slaves.
“Sicheng, did you go to school for so many years in vain? Or have you become stupid after getting married?” He said angrily. “How can there be a woman marrying a man in this world? It’s always a man marrying a woman! Women in this society shouldn’t study. If they read too much, they would forget who they were! A woman’s lack of talent was virtue, and she would always be a man’s accessory!”
Qin Chong’s words made Gu Qingcheng so angry that she wanted to hit him.
NO!
She wanted to tear Qin Chong, who treated the dregs of the old society as the truth, did not respect women, and discriminated against women, to shreds!
Wasn’t he his mother’s child? His women were all inhumane! Otherwise, how could trash like Qin Chong be born?
Huo Sicheng could feel Gu Qingcheng’s little hands pinching his palm. He knew that she was angered by Qin Chong’s words.
He knew Gu Qingcheng. She was a woman, and she hated it when people discriminated against women.
She was angry, but he was angrier than her.
He asked Qin Chong, “Do you know what the last sentence of a woman without talent is?”
Qin Chong’s face turned ugly. He was obviously stumped by Huo Sicheng’s question. His lips moved, but he couldn’t answer.
“You read so many books, but in the end, you’re illiterate. Then why did you read so many books? I’ve forgotten who you are!” Huo Sicheng’s handsome face was as cold as a knife as he stared at Qin Chong. “You’re an illiterate who keeps saying that women are accessories to men and that women shouldn’t study.
You discriminate against women! You’re so embarrassing!”
“You…” You…”
“What do you mean you? Do you dare to openly talk about these things in front of the media and the whole world? I believe that you wouldn’t dare, because I’m sure that you don’t even understand the meaning of ‘a woman without talent is virtuous.”‘ Huo Sicheng’s tone was cold. He seemed calm, but every word he said was mocking Qin Chong. “In your opinion, a woman’s lack of talent is virtue. It means that a woman doesn’t need to be talented, she just needs to obey her husband. However, the true meaning of a woman’s lack of talent was that a woman had her own talent and knowledge to distinguish right from wrong. It was a very rare virtue. The prerequisite for having talent and learning was to read more books and have independent thoughts to distinguish right from wrong.”
“I can give you more knowledge. These two sentences are from Chen Jiru’s ‘An De Lao Zi Yan’ in the Ming Dynasty. The first sentence of this sentence was that a man with virtue was a talent. This sentence hoped that a man would be able to do something. He had to focus on virtue and supplement it with talent. The two complemented each other! As the head of the Qin family, you have grown up for so many years in vain. You don’t even understand such a simple principle. You have neither virtue nor talent. What right do you have to say these words!”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng in shock and ecstasy.
He was so knowledgeable that he had slapped Qin Chong in the face and protected her. He was so handsome.
Qin Chong’s face was as pale as paper, and his body could not stop trembling.
He had never expected Huo Sicheng to mock him for being illiterate.
What was more, Huo Sicheng had scolded him for living such a long life without virtue. He had been slapped countless times by Huo Sicheng. “Huo Sicheng, how dare you… How dare you…”
Huo Sicheng stared at Qin Chong with sharp eyes.. “How would I dare?”
