Chapter 263: Slapping the Face of the Scum
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingcheng’s initiative to be kind and gentle with Qin Chong left everyone present dumbfounded.
Qin Chong disliked Gu Qingcheng. Every time he saw her, her confident and radiant appearance, which mockingly ridiculed him, brought him indescribable displeasure and annoyance.
This time, she was still confident and radiant, but instead of ridiculing him, she showed goodwill.
Maybe it was because he had been sick for so long that his mind was a bit muddled. Her sudden change in attitude left him unable to recover for a long while.
Gu Tianhao watched Gu Qingcheng’s transformation, his expression somewhat dazed.
Qin Jun stared blankly at Gu Qingcheng, not expecting her to admit she had hit him.
The wound on his head was too obvious to hide from his father, Qin Chong. So, he omitted the incident of kidnapping Gu Qingcheng and only said that she had hit him.
Since Gu Qingcheng dumped him after the engagement party, every time she saw him, she either hit or scolded him. So, when he told his father that Gu Qingcheng had hit him, his father didn’t ask further.
As for the hundred million yuan, he was so scared when he saw Gu Qingcheng today that he could only silently plead with her not to tell Qin Chong, otherwise, it would surely enrage his father to death.
“Ah Chong, Qingcheng is talking to you.” Gu Tianhao was quick to react, trying to smooth things over for Qin Chong, “Originally, it was Qin Jun who wronged Qingcheng first, so the punishment she meted out was justified. Don’t be angry with Qingcheng.”
“I’m not angry. That brat Qin Jun deserves a beating, and you hitting him this time is fine.” Qin Chong finally recovered, looking kindly at Gu Qingcheng, “But as you said, our Qin and Gu families have a good relationship. Qin Jun was wrong first, and he is at fault. You have beaten him and married my cousin Huo Sicheng. The two of you can be considered even. Going forward, we are still one family, living in harmony.”
Gu Qingcheng responded cheerfully, “Yes, Uncle Qin is right, we’re even now.” Even?
In this lifetime, she and Qin Jun would never be even. What she wanted was his death, and before he died, she wanted him to experience all kinds of pain!
Qin Chong, seeing Gu Qingcheng’s prompt agreement, obviously breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had solved Gu Qingcheng’s problem with his son Qin Jun before his impending death.
After all, with Gu Qingcheng’s side resolved, Huo Sicheng would definitely not be a problem either.
He gave Gu Tianhao a look.
Seeing Qin Chong’s look, Gu Tianhao’s smile became even more radiant.
Once Gu Qingcheng reconciled with Qin Chong and his son, with her being a naive girl, he and Qin Chong could play her to death. Then, there would be some hope in that matter of resources and inheritance.
“Ah Jun, what are you standing there for?” Qin Chong looked at Qin Jun, “Bow and apologize to Qingcheng, and the two of you can bury the hatchet.”
Qin Jun was furious, very furious.
He had been beaten and extorted by Gu Qingcheng and Lu Chi, and before he could figure out how to deal with that bitch Gu Qingcheng, his father was making him apologize to her, and even bow in apology!
Why?
Initially, when he got together with Gu Mei, it was fundamentally Gu Qingcheng’s fault. Why didn’t Gu Qingcheng let him sleep with her!
He was a man, he had physical needs. Sleeping with Gu Mei or any other woman was the result of Gu Qingcheng not letting him touch her.
How could Gu Qingcheng have the gall to blame him, and even deliberately dump him at the engagement party and marry Huo Sicheng, a man he despised the most?
Full of pent-up anger and nowhere to vent, he was forced by his father to apologize, swallowing his pride but unable to do otherwise.
“I’m sorry, please forgive my past grievances.”
“No, that’s wrong.” Gu Qingcheng looked at Qin Jun, who was reluctantly bowing and apologizing to her, “I’ve told you many times, you should call me Auntie.”
Qin Jun’s whole body visibly stiffened, his face turning various colors under Gu Qingcheng’s words, even his facial expressions uncontrollably distorted, comical, and ugly like a clown.
Gu Qingcheng saw Qin Jun’s furious, hateful, and frustrated appearance, unable to vent his anger, and her mood soared with satisfaction.
The title of “Auntie” angered Qin Jun even more than a slap in the face.
Qin Chong saw his son Qin Jun’s expression and said sternly, “Ah Jun, your Auntie is talking to you.”
Gu Tianhao knew Qin Jun was unwilling to call Gu Qingcheng Auntie, which was not only a matter of seniority but also an insult to Qin Jun.
However, he and Qin Chong didn’t care about how embarrassed Qin Jun was; they only cared about reconciling with Gu Qingcheng.
“Ah Jun!” He casually placed his hand on Qin Jun’s shoulder, seemingly nonchalant but actually forcefully making Qin Jun bow and admit his mistake, “Your Auntie is talking to you, don’t just stand there.”
Feeling Gu Tianhao’s forceful push, Qin Jun was so angry that his internal organs twisted in pain, wishing he could grind Gu Qingcheng to dust.
But facing his father and Gu Tianhao, as well as Lu Chi, the eldest young master of the Lu family, all backing Gu Qingcheng, he didn’t dare say a harsh word to her.
Reluctantly, unwillingly, but helplessly, he bowed and admitted his mistake,
“Auntie, I know I was wrong, please forgive me for my past mistakes.”
“It’s fine, it’s all trivial matters,” Gu Qingcheng smiled, “But remember, I’m your Auntie, and you should know how to behave in the future. Don’t make me teach you how to address me every time we meet; it makes you look uneducated.”
Qin Jun was so angered by Gu Qingcheng’s words that he almost fainted.
He hated Gu Qingcheng, and even more so the title of Auntie.
He was infuriated.
He really shouldn’t have taken Gu Qingcheng’s words to heart, that they could only touch after marriage. He should have forced himself on her when they were dating.
If she had become his woman, how could she have the face and courage to dump him, to force him to call her “Auntie?”
He regretted not focusing on Gu Qingcheng instead of getting together with Gu Mei at that time. It would have been better to force Gu Qingcheng!
Qin Chong knew Qin Jun was so angered by Gu Qingcheng that he couldn’t speak. He took the initiative to smooth things over, “Qingcheng, don’t worry, I will educate Ah Jun properly in the future.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Qin Chong with a polite smile, “With Uncle Qin’s words, I’m reassured.”
After she finished, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly said, “No, I can’t call you Uncle Qin. I’ve married your cousin Huo Sicheng, I should call you
Cousin.”
The word “Cousin” made Qin Chong watch as Gu Qingcheng’s expression cracked bit by bit.
Qin Jun, seeing his father Qin Chong’s expression, suddenly felt a bit of relief, letting his father taste the frustration he experienced in front of Gu Qingcheng.
Qin Chong felt incredibly uncomfortable. The woman who almost became his daughter-in-law suddenly became his cousin’s wife, a shift in status he still couldn’t accept to this day.
He understood his son Qin Jun’s frustration but was helpless.
“Calling me Cousin is correct,” he forced a chuckle, “By the way, why didn’t Sicheng come with you today?”
Gu Qingcheng observed Qin Chong’s changing expression, feeling extremely exhilarated as she slapped Qin Chong, his son, and Gu Tianhao and Chu He in the face.
“He’s busy with work and didn’t have time to come, so I came alone.”
At that moment, the butler came in, respectfully saying, “Master, Mr. Huo has arrived.”
Just after hearing Gu Qingcheng say Huo Sicheng was too busy to come to the Gu family home, and then hearing the butler’s words, Gu Tianhao didn’t react immediately.
He asked the butler, “Mr. Huo? Which Mr.. Huo?”
