Gu Qingcheng stiffened all over, turning to look in the direction of the voice.
The man was dressed in a sharp black suit, his tall and slender figure exuding elegance, his eyes filled with tenderness as he gazed at her.
Her brows furrowed tightly upon seeing him, a displeased aura emanating from her.
“Who allowed you to come to my mother’s grave?” she said angrily, “Leave immediately!”
Her mood had been terrible these past few days.
Today, on her mother’s death anniversary, seeing such a detestable person only fueled her anger and disgust.
Gu Tianhao, unfazed by Gu Qingcheng’s rebuke, held a bouquet of red roses tenderly as he looked at her.
“Qingcheng, don’t be angry. Today is your mother’s death anniversary, and as her husband, I’m here to pay my respects,” he soothed softly. “If you want to scold your father, don’t do it at your mother’s grave. She wouldn’t be happy to hear you being so disrespectful.”
Qin Chong sat in a wheelchair, his face pale as paper, but his eyes were bright and piercing as he looked at Gu Qingcheng, whose eyes were frosty and fiery.
“Qingcheng, your father is right. Your mother was a well-bred lady who valued family manners in her lifetime. It’s okay if you don’t like your father, but don’t speak ill of him in front of your mother,” he said.
“I don’t need an outsider like you to interfere in my affairs with Gu Tianhao,” Gu Qingcheng retorted sharply, her gaze cutting like a knife. She turned to Gu Tianhao sarcastically, “In all these years, why didn’t you visit my mother before? You’re here today only for the energy resources and inheritance, to see me under a pretense. If you had any conscience, you wouldn’t disturb my mother’s peace today!”
After speaking, she turned to Chu He, “Especially bringing your mistress Chu
He! Gu Tianhao, you’re truly disgusting!”
Chu He’s face fluctuated between green and white as she was openly humiliated by Gu Qingcheng.
Did Chu He even want to come here?
While Mu Xia was alive, Chu He couldn’t wait for her to die. After her death, Chu He could sleep with a smile. Why would she come to pay respects to Mu Xia?
If it weren’t for Gu Tianhao insisting on coming to the cemetery with her, she wouldn’t have set foot in Mt. Dragon Cemetery in her lifetime, especially not to pay respects to Mu Xia!
She knew she would encounter Gu Qingcheng but didn’t expect to see Gu Tianhao meeting Qin Chong at Mt. Dragon.
Fortunately, Qin Chong was there to protect her, providing some comfort.
Qin Chong’s eyes flickered with anger and disdain towards Gu Qingcheng, but he spoke gently to her, “Qingcheng, it’s inappropriate to say these things at your mother’s grave. You’ll disturb her peace.”
“Peace?” Gu Qingcheng glared at Qin Chong. “You people with ill intentions are the ones disturbing my mother’s peace!”
“Qingcheng, how are we ill-intentioned?” Qin Chong sighed, trying to persuade her patiently, “We resolved our differences at the Gu family home last time, and you happily agreed to it. Saying these things now is alienating, cousin-in-law.”
Hearing ‘cousin-in-law’ fueled the fire in Gu Qingcheng’s heart, as she and Huo Sicheng were having a dispute.
But looking at Qin Chong’s hypocritical face and words, she took a deep breath to restrain her anger.
Today was her mother’s death anniversary. Even though she knew that death was final, she still didn’t want to make a scene at her mother’s grave with these hypocritical people.
Even if she managed to drive Gu Tianhao away today, she couldn’t keep him away forever, given he was her mother Mu Xia’s husband in life.
“Cousin, you’re right, I was wrong just now.” She glanced at Qin Chong, then meaningfully at Chu He, “I shouldn’t have gotten so angry, but seeing certain people does make it hard not to!”
She deliberately directed her anger at Chu He to give herself a moral high ground, but in reality, she despised both Qin Chong and Gu Tianhao.
Qin Chong and Gu Tianhao followed Gu Qingcheng’s gaze to Chu He, exchanging glances.
“Go wait for me in the car down the hill,” Gu Tianhao said to Chu He in a lowered voice, “I’ll come to you after I’m done here.”
Chu He reluctantly came to Mt. Dragon Cemetery to see Mu Xia, mainly to appease Gu Tianhao and get money from him to deal with Gu Mei against Gu Qingcheng.
Now, Gu Tianhao’s words swept away her bad mood from being insulted by Gu Qingcheng, filling her with joy.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you in the car.”
Gu Qingcheng witnessed this scene, realizing she had lost her reason to be angry.
But she didn’t intend to lose her temper anymore.
She casually broached a topic, “Cousin, why did you come to my mother’s side today?”
“Didn’t Sicheng tell you? Today is his parents’ death anniversary,” Qin Chong said in surprise, “As his wife, and considering you two grew up together, don’t you know this?”
Gu Qingcheng’s face stiffened. She had been struggling emotionally recently, only remembering her mother’s death anniversary.
Qin Chong’s words reminded her of Huo Sicheng’s parents’ death anniversary.
Suddenly, she felt apologetic for her disdain towards Gu Tianhao and Qin Chong’s arrival.
No matter her grievances with Huo Sicheng, they shouldn’t overshadow his deceased parents.
Regardless of whether Huo Sicheng visited her mother’s grave, as his wife, she should pay respects to his parents.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s expression, Qin Chong understood.
“It seems Sicheng didn’t tell you,” he said confidently. “But don’t be mad at him. He probably didn’t want to upset you, knowing that visiting the grave would be sorrowful.”
Gu Qingcheng ignored Qin Chong, her gaze on the bouquet Huo Sicheng had thoughtfully prepared for her.
Huo Sicheng had prepared flowers for her, yet she forgot his parents’ death anniversary.
But she couldn’t be blamed for not remembering, as she only despised him in her previous life and wouldn’t have cared about his parents’ anniversary.
In this life, as his wife, his parents were also hers.
She only brought one bouquet for her mother and wouldn’t have time to buy more flowers if she returned to the city.
So, she knelt to place the flowers on the ground, unwrapped the ribbon, and took out the lavender flowers.
She left the lavender for her mother, planning to give the lilies and bellflowers to Huo Sicheng’s parents.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s actions, Gu Tianhao immediately understood and crouched beside her.
“Don’t dismantle the flowers, Qingcheng. Dad brought this big bunch of red roses. We can split it – one for your mother and one for Sicheng’s parents.”
At that moment, the intense scent of red roses filled Gu Qingcheng’s nostrils. Being allergic to roses, she suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous, her hands trembling as she separated the flowers.
“Take the roses away!” a tense and sharp male voice demanded..
