Chapter 51 - 51: My Wife, Let’s Go Home
Gu Qingcheng had just stood up from her chair.
When she turned around to get her bag, she heard the man’s deep and magnetic voice that sounded like a cello. Her body stiffened.
When Qi Shaoze saw who it was, he subconsciously looked at Gu Qingcheng beside him.
He saw Gu Qingcheng’s tense expression, and she narrowed her eyes in displeasure as she looked at the honored guest her grandfather had mentioned. “Don’t be afraid,” he comforted Gu Qingcheng softly. “I’m here.”
Gu Qingcheng listened to Qi Shaoze’s calming words. Although she knew that he was genuinely protective of her, she still felt that she was useless. “I’m afraid?” She looked at Qi Shaoze. “I’m not afraid of Huo Sicheng.”
She took a deep breath and turned to Huo Sicheng.
Huo Sicheng, in a black suit and his wheelchair, exuded a noble and elegant aura.
His handsome face was chiseled, and his beautiful eyes were bottomless. His expression was indifferent, and his cold gaze was locked on Gu Qingcheng.
When Gu Qingcheng met Huo Sicheng’s eyes, a chill ran down her spine.
She could see the coldness they contained, so cold it was as if it would devour her at any moment.
No!
She absolutely couldn’t back down!
With Qi Shaoze and Qi Dehao backing her up, she was not afraid!
“Oh my, isn’t it Huo Sicheng, the president of Huo Corporation?” She took a deep breath to calm herself down and faced Huo Sicheng head-on. With a provocative tone, she mocked, “What a great honor it is to have President Huo visit my boyfriend’s house.”
Huo Sicheng stared at Gu Qingcheng. His dark eyes flashed with bloodlust the moment he heard the word ‘boyfriend.’
Gu Qingcheng saw the viciousness in Huo Sicheng’s eyes. She knew she had angered him.
So what if she made him angry?
If Qi Dehao hadn’t been there, she would have rolled up her sleeves and f*cked Huo Sicheng up.
“Grandpa, Shaoze, and I won’t disturb you from entertaining President Huo.” She took the initiative to put her arm around Qi Shaoze’s wrist and pretended to be happy. “Babe, let’s go.”
Qi Shaoze raised his eyebrows and glanced at Huo Sicheng. “Okay, babe.”
Gu Qingcheng didn’t want Qi Shaoze to call her babe because she didn’t want Huo Sicheng to misunderstand and get angry.
Now that he had a new lover, she did not care if he misunderstood.
Qi Dehao’s gaze moved back and forth between the three people in front of him. Finally, he looked deeply at Huo Sicheng.
“Since President Huo and Miss Gu know each other, I don’t need to introduce you.” He said gently, “President Huo, this way, please. Let’s talk business.”
Huo Sicheng’s eyes never left Gu Qingcheng from the moment he entered the tea room.
“I’m not here to look for you, Old Master.” His lips parted slightly, and his voice was stony. His sinister eyes were locked squarely on Gu Qingcheng. “I’m here to bring my wife home.”
At the sound of the word ‘wife,’ Gu Qingcheng stopped in her tracks.
He had called her his wife?
She didn’t know why, and although the term ‘wife’ was very common, it entered her heart when she heard it. It made her a little happy, but there were also some emotions that she could not describe.
Qi Shaoze asked despite knowing the answer and teased, “President Huo, we don’t even know your wife. You’ve come to the wrong place.”
Qi Dehao looked at Gu Qingcheng and asked Huo Sicheng, “I didn’t hear that President Huo is married. May I ask who your wife is?”
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng, and said, “Gu Qingcheng,” coldly.
Qi Dehao didn’t look surprised at all. It was as if he had already seen through the relationship between the three from the moment Huo Sicheng entered the room.
“I think you’ve misunderstood,” He chuckled. “My precious grandson specially brought his girlfriend, Miss Gu, here to be introduced to me. How could she be your wife?”
Qi Shaoze shielded Gu Qingcheng. “President Huo, you and Qingcheng have never gotten along. Please be frank with me if she has done anything to anger you. I believe we should settle this properly, not in this way.”
Huo Sicheng didn’t even look at Qi Shaoze and Qi Dehao. He only had eyes for Gu Qingcheng.
At this moment, a man in a brown suit standing behind Huo Sicheng walked up to Qi Dehao with a computer and showed him the information on the screen.
When Qi Dehao saw the content, he frowned and looked at Qi Shaoze.
Qi Shaoze didn’t know what message Huo Sicheng had shown his grandfather. He firmly told his grandfather, Qi Dehao, “Grandpa, Qingcheng is my girlfriend.”
“My wife, who’s been intimate with me in bed, suddenly became Qi Shaoze’s girlfriend after a nap.” Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng, then turned to Qi Dehao. “I know my wife is capricious and has been fooling around after we got married, but I didn’t expect her to be so short-sighted as to let the old man’s grandson play second fiddle.”
The Qi family was extremely wealthy, and they greatly valued their reputation. Qi Dehao’s expression changed slightly after hearing Huo Sicheng’s words.
“It seems the problem is not my grandson but Miss Gu.” He looked at Gu
Qingcheng and said, “Miss Gu, you shouldn’t have lied to my grandson.”
Gu Qingcheng watched the scene unfold before her eyes, and her lungs were about to explode.
Huo Sicheng, that b*stard!
He was clearly the one who had an affair, yet he had the cheek to say that she had one?
She was now taking revenge by giving him a taste of his own medicine.
He then went on to frame her. Not only did he announce publicly that she had slept with him, but he also accused her of cheating on him first.
He even deliberately misled Qi Dehao into thinking she had bad intentions and deceived Qi Shaoze.
Fortunately, her relationship with Qi Shaoze was fake. No matter what Huo Sicheng said about her, it would not ruin their relationship.
“Huo Sicheng, stop talking nonsense!” She glared at him. “We’re not husband and wife! My boyfriend is Shaoze. Don’t mislead the Old Master.”
Qi Dehao didn’t seem to expect Gu Qingcheng to do this. He glanced at the information on the screen again.
Qi Shaoze took over from her and scolded her angrily, “President Huo, you’re very welcome to my house, but you’re crossing the line if you slander my girlfriend!”
Gu Qingcheng knew that because of Huo Sicheng, she wouldn’t be able to obtain the inheritance today.
In that case, she would settle the score with Huo Sicheng today.
“Huo Sicheng, I’m not your wife, and Qi Shaoze certainly isn’t playing second fiddle!” Her cherry lips parted in anger. “Your wife is your secretary, Ji Sisi. It’s been trending for a few days now. Everyone in Jiang City knows about it. Stop framing me.”
In an instant, a sharp chill spread out from Huo Sicheng’s body in the tea room. His black slanted eyes looked cold and emotionless, but they were, in fact, filled with fury.
Ignoring Qi Shaoze, he stared at Gu Qingcheng and said, “I won’t ask about your past. But you’re Mrs. Huo now. You can’t straighten out your identity, so let me teach you! Qi Shaoze, right? From today, not only would there be no Qi Shaoze, but there would also be no Qi family in Jiang City!”
Huo Sicheng’s last sentence was calm but intimidating. It was like the most terrifying words in the world, triggering Qi Dehao’s nerves.
His face turned cold.. “Huo Sicheng, are you trying to start a war?”
