Chapter 304: I Will Divorce Her
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingcheng ignored Gu Tianhao and sidestepped him, intending to leave.
Gu Tianhao had always known what answer she wanted, but he kept evading her questions.
She was out of patience from playing these games with Gu Tianhao and no longer indulged him.
After all, Gu Tianhao was willing to let Gu Mei die, but he couldn’t bear to see Chu He perish.
The thought of Gu Tianhao’s mindset, like a scalding cup of wine poured onto her heart, brought both pain and hatred.
The pain was for her mother Mu Xia, who had never received the same affection from Gu Tianhao as Chu He did.
She hated that Gu Tianhao, for the sake of Chu He, disregarded Mu Xia’s life and death, marrying Chu He into the Gu family just seven days after Mu Xia’s death, forcing her out like a stray dog.
Inheritance?
She would donate it all to charity rather than give Gu Tianhao a penny.
“Qingcheng…” Gu Tianhao hurriedly interjected as he saw Gu Qingcheng leaving, “You’re not seriously expecting me to kill Chu He and Gu Mei, are you?”
Gu Qingcheng calmly looked at Gu Tianhao, “I never said that. It’s your decision to make.”
“I’ve never been satisfied with any decision you’ve made,” Gu Tianhao said, looking distressed, “That’s why I said give me a hint, or just tell me what to do.
Whatever you ask, I will do it.”
Whatever you ask, I will do it.”
“Why should I give you hints? The opportunity for inheritance was in front of you; you just didn’t want it,” Gu Qingcheng replied, looking into Gu Tianhao’s eyes, “If you really want the inheritance, you’ll know what to do without my guidance.”
Gu Tianhao knew that Gu Qingcheng hated Chu He, but he couldn’t anger her.
The only way was for Gu Qingcheng to provide a solution for dealing with Chu He and Gu Mei, which he could then implement. This way, he could avoid taking the blame.
Once something happened to Chu He and her daughter, he could tell Chu He that Gu Qingcheng forced him into it.
Chu He and Gu Mei were being oppressed by Gu Qingcheng, so they wouldn’t doubt his words.
This chess game he played, he was confident of winning, or else he wouldn’t have gone round and round with Gu Qingcheng for so long.
“Of course, I want the inheritance,” he admitted to Gu Qingcheng, “But you know the decision, and you keep refusing me, making me think you don’t want to give me the inheritance and are just teasing me, right?”
“If I was teasing you, why would I bother talking with you so much?” Gu Qingcheng glared at Gu Tianhao angrily, “Forget the inheritance, I don’t want it either. I’ll go to Fu Nanjue to inherit it and then give it all to Huo Sicheng! I don’t do business, but Huo Sicheng does, so let him monopolize the Gu family’s wealth.”
Gu Tianhao’s eyes widened in shock, “Qingcheng, you know this is the Gu family’s fortune, how can you give it to Sicheng!”
“Why can’t I give it to Sicheng?” Gu Qingcheng retorted, “He’s my husband, and if he does business, it benefits me too. I don’t lose anything.”
Gu Tianhao, realizing Gu Qingcheng was serious, quickly said, “Okay, I’ll kill
Chu He and Gu Mei, and you give me the inheritance.”
Gu Qingcheng finally forced Gu Tianhao to reveal his true intentions – he was willing to kill Chu He and Gu Mei for the inheritance.
She had overestimated Chu He’s position in Gu Tianhao’s heart. Now, it seemed insignificant.
“Die?” She frowned, “I never said I wanted Chu He and Gu Mei to die!”
Gu Tianhao thought Gu Qingcheng was playing him again. She had refused all his suggestions to send Chu He away or imprison her. He believed she wanted him to kill Chu He and Gu Mei.
Now that he agreed to kill them, Gu Qingcheng refused again. She was just toying with him.
“How can you go back on your word!” He was furious but didn’t dare to show it, fearing Gu Qingcheng’s wrath. He asked in frustration, “You hate Chu He and them. Isn’t this what you’ve been waiting for? I’m giving you what you want, why are you refusing now?”
“I do hate Chu He and them, but that doesn’t mean I want them dead!” Gu Qingcheng stated.
Gu Tianhao was almost driven mad by Gu Qingcheng. He asked, trying to keep his temper, “Then what do you want?”
Gu Qingcheng’s eyes held a hint of inscrutability, “When my mother died, you married Chu He into the Gu family before the seventh day of mourning, elevating her from mistress to the legitimate wife of the Gu family, and even made her daughter the young lady of the Gu family…”
Gu Tianhao, a clever man, immediately understood her true intention.
Gu Qingcheng had hated Chu He for years because of what happened after Mu Xia’s death, which had once shocked the entire Jiangcheng elite.
She was forcing him to divorce Chu He and banish Gu Mei from the Gu family, avenging Mu Xia’s death and what he did back then, making Chu He, who had oppressed Gu Qingcheng for years, lose face and be expelled from the Gu family.
Gu Qingcheng was determined to avenge Mu Xia, and this had been her plan from the start. Therefore, Gu Tianhao’s various acts of appeasement towards her were less effective than simply dealing with Chu He earlier.
In light of this, he realized that all his previous patience and tolerance towards Gu Qingcheng were in vain. Had he expelled Chu He and her daughter from the Gu family sooner, Gu Qingcheng would have already handed over the inheritance and energy resources to him.
Gu Qingcheng had made it clear she wasn’t interested in the inheritance and hadn’t planned to give it to Huo Sicheng. In her heart, she also believed the inheritance belonged to the Gu family.
Her disgust for Chu He and Gu Mei stemmed from two points.
Chu He, as the mistress, drove her away as a child.
Gu Mei stole her first love, Qin Jun, and usurped her position as the young lady of the Gu family.
She despised Chu He and Gu Mei and hated him for not protecting and caring for her.
But her hatred for him was outweighed by her hatred for Chu He and Gu Mei. As long as he dealt with Chu He to her satisfaction, she would give him the inheritance.
Fortunately, he now understood Gu Qingcheng’s thoughts.
“I know what to do now,” he said, understanding, “I’ll divorce Chu He when I get back and have her and Gu Mei leave the Gu family.”
Gu Qingcheng’s eyes narrowed slightly; she knew Gu Tianhao understood her underlying message.
His response was what she wanted, and it was the decision she had made upon returning.
She wanted Chu He and Gu Mei to suffer worse than death!
As for Gu Mei, a disabled person without the status of the second young lady of the Gu family would even be scorned by Qin Jun.
This outcome satisfied her.
“This is your decision, not mine.”
Gu Tianhao knew Gu Qingcheng wanted to distance herself from the matter, letting him bear the infamy of abandoning his wife and daughter.
For the sake of the inheritance, energy resources, and Gu Qingcheng’s trust, the infamy was insignificant to him.
“It’s not about you, I made this decision,” he assured Gu Qingcheng, “But there’s one more thing I need to clarify with you.”
Gu Qingcheng, having received Gu Tianhao’s affirmation, asked him, “What do you want to clarify?”
