Chapter 261: Scumbag
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu He’s head was spinning from Gu Tianhao’s roar, and her face was as pale as paper.
Fear gripped her body and mind, as if she was enduring torture in hell.
For the past few days, Gu Mei had been in constant pain, and as a mother, Chu He had witnessed her daughter’s torment due to her illness day and night. Her anger had already reached a boiling point due to the trending searches.
Back in Gu Mei’s room, she had been incensed by her daughter’s words. Gu Mei didn’t understand the hardships she had to endure. When she heard that Gu
Qingcheng had come to the Gu family, she had lost control and wanted to harm Gu Qingcheng.
But now, she not only didn’t dare to harm Gu Qingcheng, but she was also terrified of her.
Gu Qingcheng knew too many of her secrets. She had only released the video of Gu Mei and Qin Jun having an affair, but she hadn’t released the video of Gu Mei getting f*ucked by several men in the hotel that night.
Gu Mei had already been ruined by Gu Qingcheng. If the video of her ordeal at the hotel was made public, the already tortured and mentally unstable Gu Mei would likely take her own life.
Chu He had only one daughter left. She couldn’t afford to lose Gu Mei; otherwise, she’d be left with nothing.
Fear.
She was afraid of Gu Qingcheng. Looking at her face, which resembled Mu Xia’s, she sometimes felt as if Mu Xia had returned for revenge.
“Speak!” Gu Tianhao saw that Chu He was so frightened that she couldn’t speak and delivered a resounding slap. “I know about the video of Gu Mei and Qin Jun. I just want to know now, were you the one who wanted to harm Qingcheng at the Peach Lotus Cup? And what about the kidnapping?”
Gu Qingcheng stared at the swollen face of Chu He, whose countenance resembled that of a pig after Gu Tianhao’s blow with sinister eyes.
Did Chu He want her dead?
Ha!
In her previous life, Chu He and the others had succeeded in ending her life. But in this life?
Chu He was deluded!
Chu He was hit by Gu Tianhao until the corner of her mouth bled, and her face hurt so much it felt unreal. She stammered in fear, “I… I…
Gu Tianhao raised his hand to strike Chu He again. “Speak!”
“Ah… Please don’t hit me…” Chu He clutched her head in terror. “Yes, it was me.
I wanted Gu Qingcheng dead at the Peach Lotus Cup. I planned the kidnapping.”
After hearing Chu He’s admission, Gu Tianhao refrained from using his hand to strike her this time. Instead, he raised his leg and delivered a kick to Chu He’s abdomen.
“You b*tch, how dare you attempt to harm Gu Qingcheng!”
“Ah…” Chu He was kicked and fell heavily to the ground, clutching her stomach in agony. However, Gu Tianhao was so heartless that he callously exclaimed, “You know that the Peach Lotus Cup incident took place. How can you blame me solely?”
She glanced at Gu Qingcheng and continued, “I’m not the only one who wanted you gone at the Peach Lotus Cup. Your father, Qin Chong, and his son were also in on it. The difference is that they wanted you crippled, whereas I wanted you dead, and…”
Gu Tianhao, upon hearing Chu He mention him in connection to the Peach Lotus Cup incident, was so enraged that his complexion turned pale. He lunged at Chu He, delivering a harsh kick.
“Shut up, stop spouting nonsense!”
Gu Qingcheng frowned. So Gu Tianhao and the others were involved in the Peach Lotus Cup incident. It seemed that Huo Sicheng’s information was incorrect.
Gu Tianhao, Qin Chong, and Qin Jun were the masterminds behind the Peach Lotus Cup incident to eliminate her.
No.
To be precise, Gu Tianhao and Qin Chong wanted her kidney. In her previous life, her kidney had been damaged, and she had nearly died. Huo Sicheng had given her a kidney to save her. Ultimately, Qin Jun deceived her into believing he had taken her kidney to rescue her.
She had regarded Qin Jun as her savior and believed she owed him her life. However, she had only discovered the truth upon her death.
Extracting kidneys was a scheme by Gu Tianhao and the others for the sake of their inheritance.
Chu He wasn’t interested in the inheritance; she just wanted to kill her, so she dispatched an assassination team to eliminate her. Huo Sicheng had saved her in the end.
In her previous life, she had been racking her brains to understand what had happened. Today, she finally grasped the situation clearly.
Gu Tianhao deserved to be killed.
Qin Jun and his son deserved to be killed.
Chu He and Gu Mei deserved to be killed!
“Ah…” Chu He’s scream reverberated through the dining room. “Help…” “Help…”
Chu He’s scream interrupted Gu Qingcheng’s thoughts. She signaled Lu Chi with her eyes.
Lu Chi stepped forward and pulled Gu Tianhao away from Chu He.
He glared at Gu Tianhao with a cold expression. “Chairman Gu, are you going to kill your wife? If you really wish to kill her, don’t do it in our presence. We don’t want to be witnesses.”
Gu Tianhao was about to berate Lu Chi for releasing him when he saw Lu Chi’s scarred and disfigured face up close. Lu Chi’s imposing presence weighed down on him like Mount Tai, sending shivers down his spine.
“Lu… You…”
Lu Chi forcibly pulled Gu Tianhao aside, maintaining his icy demeanor.
“What are you servants waiting for?” He addressed the trembling servants.
“Hurry and assist your wives in leaving!”
Upon hearing this, a servant rushed forward and almost dragged Chu He out of the dining room.
Gu Qingcheng gazed at the blood that Chu He had coughed up, staining the marble floor red. She glared at Gu Tianhao with intense loathing.
Evil begot evil.
She had come to the Gu family today to witness this drama. After all, she couldn’t let her trap go to waste.
She felt a sense of relief and satisfaction as she observed the spectacle!
She wanted Chu He to experience despair worse than death!
Slowly, step by step, she wished to witness her adversaries destroy one another.
Gu Tianhao was someone who had encountered major crises and was remarkably adaptable.
In the blink of an eye, he concealed his cruelty and guilt from his failed attempt to eliminate Gu Qingcheng and adopted an innocent facade.
“Qingcheng, please disregard what Chu He claimed earlier. I had no knowledge of it. She is deliberately maligning me and hoping that I’ll save her.”
Gu Qingcheng’s eyes locked onto Gu Tianhao as he sat at the dining table. She messaged him privately, “Is that so?”
“Yes, you are my biological daughter. How could I harm you?” Gu Tianhao swiftly clarified, “Chu He instigated the Peach Lotus Cup accident. Your Uncle Qin and I were not aware of it. You know that Chu He bears resentment toward you, so it’s entirely possible that she could do such a thing.”
Gu Qingcheng looked directly at Gu Tianhao, the corners of her mouth raised a little, and she smiled slightly. “That’s right, after all, you still want the inheritance in my hands. If I die, all of those will be donated to charity. You have to save my life for the sake of my inheritance, and you will never kill me.”
“Yes, you are right, I…” Gu Tianhao stuttered nervously. Halfway through, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He quickly changed his tone, and with a smile, said, “Qingcheng, what do you mean? What is it? Why would I protect you for the sake of an inheritance? You are my eldest daughter, and even without an inheritance, I will still protect you. This is my responsibility as a father.”
Gu Qingcheng glanced at Gu Tianhao and forced a smile.
Gu Tianhao observed her, noticing her gentle smile. However, in his eyes, it appeared unsettling, sending chills down his spine.
“Qingcheng, don’t let the recent incident dampen your spirits.” He gestured for her to take a seat and prepare to eat.
Gu Qingcheng gazed at Gu Tianhao seated at the dining table and responded privately, “I’m already sitting down. You can ask the hidden person to come out and see me.”
Gu Tianhao, startled, looked at Gu Qingcheng in disbelief. “You… You know?”
