Chapter 165: Couple Doubles, Scumbag’s Face Was Smashed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qin Chong looked at Huo Sicheng.
Huo Sicheng’s expression remained calm, as if what he had just said was a casual remark.
This calmness only intensified the sense of mockery and humiliation that Qin Chong felt.
Not only had he been humiliated by Huo Sicheng, who was eager to protect his wife, but he had also been figuratively slapped in the face.
His anger became uncontrollable, and his body couldn’t bear the strain. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted at the dining table.
“Dad…” Frightened, Qin Jun rushed forward and shouted, “Quickly call 120!”
Gu Tianhao hadn’t anticipated this turn of events and remained stunned for a while.
Chu He reacted quickly, calling for an ambulance and simultaneously retrieving a heart-saving pill from Qin Chong’s pocket, which she administered to him.
“Uncle, this is too much!” Qin Jun glared at Huo Sicheng. “My dad is your cousin. How can you insult him like this?”
“Insult? I’m merely explaining to your father that a woman without talent is virtuous, and a man with virtue is talented,” Huo Sicheng’s expression remained calm. His thin lips parted slightly, his voice low and sharp. “You’re the one insulting your father by interpreting my words that way. In your mind, your father is indeed uneducated, illiterate, and untalented.”
Qin Jun found himself speechless in the face of Huo Sicheng’s words. After hearing Huo Sicheng’s explanation, he reluctantly admitted that his father, Qin Chong, lacked refinement.
However, his real grievance lay with Huo Sicheng for defending Gu Qingcheng so passionately. In Qin Jun’s view, women should be subservient to men and men and not pursue their own careers or thoughts.
Ironically, Qin Jun’s attempt to blame Huo Sicheng backfired on him.
Gu Qingcheng noticed that Huo Sicheng seemed to be more talkative when she was present, even willing to criticize himself. She had witnessed him do so before, but never to the extent of confronting Qin Chong, Qin Jun, and the others.
Today, his eloquence left Qin Chong and his son utterly speechless. Seeing her enemies stumble like this gave her a sense of satisfaction and delight.
She offered a mocking smile to Qin Jun, who had been figuratively slapped by Huo Sicheng, and said, “Even if you keep silent and appear foolish, it’s better than confirming that you are indeed a fool.”
Qin Jun’s face, already bruised by Huo Sicheng’s words, now paled further as he endured Gu Qingcheng’s taunts.
Gu Tianhao furrowed his brows.
Both Huo Sicheng and Ji Sisi had made headlines for attempting to make Gu Qingcheng a cuckold, while Gu Qingcheng and Qi Shaoze had also gained attention for trying to make Huo Sicheng a cuckold.
Despite the public’s perception, Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng hadn’t divorced yet. Rumor had it that they quarreled incessantly after getting married. However, today, they seemed rather harmonious.
Gu Qingcheng had been humiliated by Qin Chong, and Huo Sicheng had immediately defended her by rebuffing Qin Chong and his son.
Gu Tianhao was taken aback by the couple’s united front, which essentially amounted to slapping his own face.
Given the situation, he felt compelled to intervene.
“Si Cheng, regardless of the circumstances, it was inappropriate to make your cousin faint from anger,” he looked at Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng. “I think we should reconcile as a family. We ought to get along, not fight. When your cousin wakes up, you should comfort him. He didn’t mean what he said earlier. Don’t be so petty. You..
Gu Qingcheng couldn’t tolerate Gu Tianhao’s irrational logic.
“My husband did nothing wrong. Why should he apologize to Qin Chong?” She regarded Gu Tianhao with a cold gaze. “It’s you and Qin Chong who’ve reconciled. My husband and I haven’t agreed to anything! Moreover, you claim that Qin Chong’s offensive remarks about women were unintentional. Indeed, they were not. He deliberately demeaned women!”
“You accused my husband of being overly fussy. What was he being fussy about? Why did his thoughtful explanation turn into a fuss when confronting an illiterate?” Without waiting for Gu Tianhao to respond, she continued, “You should be grateful that my husband stepped in to explain. If it were me, I’d have slapped him! Don’t tell me he’s an elder; he’s my cousin! No sane person would argue that women are mere appendages to men!”
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She resented that not only did Qin Chong hold such a view, but Gu Tianhao also seemed to share it. “Scolding you for demeaning women isn’t my goal,” she sneered. “I want to make it clear that my husband did nothing wrong. He explained his standpoint. If you have a problem with that, then so be it. But don’t forget that men and women are equals in this world!”
Gu Mei, who arrived in a wheelchair, applauded, saying, “Well said, my dear sister! Very well said!”
Gu Qingcheng, upon seeing Gu Mei, could only muster disgust and hatred.
“No matter how well I say it, it doesn’t concern you,” she retorted coldly.
Gu Mei, meeting Gu Qingcheng’s gaze with malice, felt that Gu Qingcheng was right. But that didn’t mean she didn’t harbor hatred for her.
“How can it not concern me?” She moved a few steps closer to Gu Qingcheng.
“You and I are sisters, both women. You’re absolutely correct. Dad and Uncle Qin do hold a low opinion of women. Men often harm women in this world, and men deserve to suffer.”
“Stop sowing discord between genders here,” Gu Qingcheng countered. “Those who sow discord are either ignorant or malevolent. You are both ignorant and malevolent. Men and women are equals in this world!”
“Men and women are never equal,” Gu Mei retorted heatedly. “You talk about equality, but why are men the ones primarily in business? Why do men pursue women in relationships, and not the other way around?”
