Chapter 182: Hugging Him and Loving Him Fiercely
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mr. Zhao didn’t expect Gu Qingcheng to suddenly turn hostile.
He wasn’t afraid of Gu Qingcheng at all. He sneered and said, “So what if I threaten you? I told you that you’d better leave the Hunts with dignity. If you don’t want this dignity, why should I give it to you?”
Gu Qingcheng laughed in anger.
Mr. Zhao mocked her for being shameless and sticking to Huo Sicheng.
“Mr. Zhao, do you think I went to the cemetery to pay my respects to my in-laws because of you?” She threw the document in her hand at Mr. Zhao’s face. “When I treat you as a human, you’d better be a human! A document that can be finalized in ten words, and you’re using so many rules to bind me?
“What do you mean by I’m at the cemetery at six every morning? As a butler, you don’t have to wake up at six every morning. You want me to rush from Wanmei Villa to Mt. Dragon Cemetery a few hundred miles away just to kneel at six? There were also four sticks of incense. The six tributes could not be repeated, and the fruits had to be orange pears and so on.
“Are you bullying me because I’m young and don’t know how to offer sacrifices? Regardless of whether it was offering sacrifices to gods or relatives who had passed away, the customs of the people of Jiang City were not to put pears! This was an ominous sign. Are you trying to disgust me or Huo Sicheng’s parents? If the two of them knew that you were so vicious, they would crawl out of their coffins and strangle you!”
Mr. Zhao’s face turned as white as a sheet after hearing Gu Qingcheng’s last sentence. He was afraid that Huo Sicheng’s parents would blame him.
Gu Qingcheng ignored Mr. Zhao’s fear and said angrily, “I agreed to pay my respects to my in-laws because they are my husband Huo Sicheng’s parents. As a daughter-in-law, it’s my duty to pay my respects to them, not because you threatened me.”
“I accepted your condition because you took care of Huo Sicheng for many years. You are an elder in the Huo family, and in Huo Sicheng’s heart, you are family. Similarly, I married him, and I also treat you as family.
“You’ve been in the Huo family for so many years. Even if you don’t have any contributions, you’ve worked hard. You can’t be heartless. I’ve never made things difficult for you. It’s you who’s been making things difficult for me!
“Let’s take a step back and say that it’s not up to me to make decisions in the Huo family, nor is it up to a butler like you to make decisions. Your current behavior is above Huo Sicheng; this is overstepping your authority!”
Mr. Zhao’s old face turned green and white.
“I can talk to you about this in private because I don’t want Huo Sicheng to hear about it.” Gu Qingcheng’s expression was cold, and she stared at Mr. Zhao with a sharp gaze. “I still want to make up with you, not cause any misunderstandings. Mr. Zhao, if Huo Sicheng were to hear about this, you would be the one to suffer, not me.
“I’m not making a fuss. I just don’t want Huo Sicheng to be stuck between us. But if I make a scene, you’ll be chased away! This was the unquestionable truth! So, before I express my goodwill to you, you’d better step down from this platform.”
She could not bear to scold Huo Sicheng, but she could tolerate Mr. Zhao. She did not want Huo Sicheng to be put in a difficult position.
Just as she said, the world could move without anyone. Even without Mr. Zhao, Wanmei Villa would still have other butlers to continue managing the villa.
She didn’t say that Mr. Zhao was taking advantage of his seniority, but she just hoped that Mr. Zhao would recognize the reality!
Huo Sicheng would not divorce her. Mr. Zhao would either leave the villa or get along with her.
The agreement she made with Mr. Zhao was based on the sincerity of both parties. Since Mr. Zhao was not sincere, she would not give him any face. Mr. Zhao glared at Gu Qingcheng. “You… You’re threatening me!”
“I’m not threatening you. I’m telling you to recognize reality.” Gu Qingcheng calmed herself down and said, “I won’t give you a month. I’ll only give you three days to think about it. If you don’t give me a way out, I don’t want to see you at home in three days.”
Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s determination, Mr. Zhao panicked.
He had thought that he had threatened Gu Qingcheng, but not only did he fail to do so, he was now being chased out of the villa.
Gu Qingcheng wasn’t a kind woman, and he wouldn’t end well if he provoked her.
He quickly weighed the pros and cons and said, “Alright, we’ll mind our own business. I won’t ask you anything else.”
Right now, he had to stabilize Gu Qingcheng’s situation. He had to get Miss Li to return to Huo Sicheng’s side and get her to chase Gu Qingcheng away!
Gu Qingcheng stopped in her tracks and looked at Mr. Zhao. “You better keep your word. ”
“I’ll do it.”
Gu Qingcheng stared at Mr. Zhao for a while, then returned to the dining room without saying anything.
She and Huo Sicheng sent Huo Xuan to school together. Because her son, Huo Xuan, always said that the children in the same class liked her very much, she deliberately stayed at school for a while to give her precious son enough face.
Huo Sicheng went to Huo Corporation, and she went to deal with her own matters. Before they left, she hugged him, kissed him fiercely, and left after loving him.
After that, she went to YK Law Firm.
“Miss Gu.” Fu Nanjue placed the document in front of Gu Qingcheng and said gently, “I’m the lawyer appointed by Old Master Gu. Take a look at this document first, and I’ll explain it to you in detail.”
Gu Qingcheng had planned to have Qi Shaoze accompany her to look through the inheritance documents, but she had come alone today.
Fu Nanjue was the president of YK Law Firm. YK was also founded by the old man of the Gu Corporation and was given to Fu Nanjue in the end.
She had heard about Fu Nanjue from the indignant Gu Tianhao. He said that Fu Nanjue was a righteous and upright man. He was a lawyer personally trained by the old master and had handled all the matters of the old master before he died.
This was the second time she had seen Fu Nanjue in her previous life. Just like in her previous life, they were in the same place and in the same living room. He was sitting on the chair opposite her. He was wearing a brown suit and looked to be in his thirties. He had a delicate face and a pair of bright and gentle eyes. His entire person was as gentle as jade. He had an elegant and approachable aura.
The gentle Fu Nanjue was completely different from the resolute Fu Nanjue that Gu Tianhao had described. However, she knew that Gu Tianhao was not lying. Fu Nanjue had been by Old Master’s side for so many years. Old Master had even handed over his inheritance to him to manage, and Gu Tianhao had not been able to take it away until now. His methods were extraordinary.
She did not have a deep impression of her grandfather. She vaguely remembered that every time her grandfather saw her, he would always have a loving face. He would hold her in his arms and praise her for being cute. He would say that she was like ‘that person’. Every time he said that, his mother, Mu Xia, would look sad.
Who was that person?
She did not know who the name “grandfather” referred to in her previous life, but she was sure that it was not Gu Tianhao because her grandfather would only address Gu Tianhao as Hao.
“Miss Gu, please take a look.” Fu Nanjue reminded her in a gentle voice.
Gu Qingcheng looked apologetic. She had been staring at Fu Nanjue for a long time, which was very impolite.
However, even though this was her second time meeting Fu Nanjue, she was not familiar with him.
In her previous life, Qin Jun was by her side when she came to inherit the inheritance. She was in a hurry to catch up with the competition, and Qin Jun kept urging her by her ear. Not only did she not read the contents of the inheritance agreement, but she also did not listen to Fu Nanjue’s words. She hurriedly signed the inheritance agreement and left.
After that, she met Fu Nanjue once. He advised her very tactfully not to hand over the old master’s hard work to anyone else. This was her only bargaining chip.
Unfortunately, she did not listen to him at that time and died in the end.
She slowly exhaled and cleared her mind of the memories of her previous life.
After all, today wasn’t the time for her to reminisce and carefully look through the inheritance documents.
Fu Nanjue looked at Gu Qingcheng quietly.
As time passed, Gu Qingcheng’s eyes turned red. Her grandfather had left her more than 800 billion yuan in his inheritance. Once she inherited it, she would be worth more than Gu Tianhao.
The scariest thing was that every single item on the business list of this inheritance could open up a new situation. No wonder Gu Tianhao killed her in order to get this inheritance.
“Why?” She looked at Fu Nanjue and asked, “Mr.. Fu, may I ask why Grandpa left the inheritance to me and not to Gu Tianhao?”
