Chapter 399 - 399: Revenge on Huo Sicheng
All her passion for Qi Shaoze vanished.
Anger.
She really wanted to slap Qi Shaoze twice.
He pushed her away?
Pushed her away?
How was she inferior to Gu Qingcheng?
He was so nervous about Gu Qingcheng that he pushed her away.
She threw herself at him, yet he rejected her and instead pursued Gu Qingcheng, who didn’t want him. How despicable!
Endure.
She endured!
“You misunderstand,” she said, heart exploding with anger but face showing weakness as she looked at Qi Shaoze, “How could I wish for my own sister’s death? I told you, I’ve already brought a doctor to examine her.”
Before Qi Shaoze could speak, she continued, “Shaoze, I know you care about my sister, but please calm down. Your anxiety about my sister is unhelpful for our collaboration.’
Chu He also tried to soothe Qi Shaoze, “Yes, please calm down, Qi Shaoze. The bigger picture is more important.”
Gu Mei’s eyes were gentle as she persuaded Qi Shaoze, “Shaoze, if Huo Sicheng finds out about your presence, you’re his love rival and connected to Gu Qingchengs kidnapping. If my sister doesn’t protect you, Huo Sicheng won’t hesitate to harm you. Please be calm, okay? I’m begging you.”
Mentioning Huo Sicheng made Qi Shaoze stiffen, his worry for Gu Qingcheng replaced by anger.
Huo Sicheng!
It was Huo Sicheng who made Gu Qingcheng forbid him from calling her ‘baby’.
It was also Huo Sicheng’s appearance that took Gu Qingcheng away!
Previously, he and Gu Qingcheng had a carefree life abroad, spending every day together besides studying.
He never imagined that after returning to Jiang City, Gu Qingcheng would quickly marry his archenemy, Huo Sicheng, and coldly abandon him after the marriage.
She said she was married and he shouldn’t call her ‘baby’ to avoid misunderstandings.
She said she was Huo Sichengs woman.
She said they had an agreement.
She talked a lot about Huo Sicheng.
The first time she mentioned Huo Sicheng, her eyes were filled with joy, like a happy woman married to the right man.
The second time, her face was full of anger as she beat up Huo Sicheng for cheating, which made headlines.
The third time, her affection for Huo Sicheng grew stronger.
The fourth and fifth times, her feelings for Huo Sicheng deepened, and her feelings for him faded, even fiercely hitting him in the boxing ring for Huo Sicheng.
He still feels pain in his chest, inflicted by Gu Qingcheng for Huo Sicheng.
Huo Sicheng—this man was too hateful. With so many women in the world, why did he have to take Gu Qingcheng?
He despised Huo Sicheng, and the more he hated, the clearer his mind became, realizing he couldn’t let Gu Qingcheng find out about his alliance with Gu Mei. Otherwise, even if Huo Sicheng died, Gu Qingcheng would not be with him and would hate him.
Seeing hatred in Qi Shaoze’s eyes, Gu Mei quickly seized the opportunity, “Shaoze, please take my advice. Just watch from the monitoring room. If you’re worried, I’ll personally accompany the doctor to examine my sister. You can see everything we do from the monitoring room, even hear what we say.
Everything is transparent, don’t worry.”
Originally focused on Gu Qingcheng, Qi Shaoze calmed down after hearing
Huo Sichengs name.
He looked at the doctor with the medical kit, then at Gu Mei.
“Wait for me to get into the monitoring room before you go in,” he calculated the time. “Enter in three minutes, make sure to protect Qingcheng, she must be safe!”
Gu Mei was furious, realizing Qi Shaoze didn’t trust her. He was worried she might harm Gu Qingcheng before he could see it on the screen.
If she wanted to harm Gu Qingcheng, she wouldn’t have waited until now. Qi Shaoze’s actions angered her.
However, she needed to cooperate with Qi Shaoze and couldn’t afford to turn against him. She had to slowly gain his trust.
“Shaoze, don’t worry, I’ll protect my sister. You go to the monitoring room
first.”
Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Mei and Chu He mother and daughter before leaving. To the doctor, he said, “When you check her, if anything is wrong, immediately speak to the camera. If necessary, send her to the hospital right away. I want her safe, no accidents.”
The doctor nodded, “Okay.”
Gu Mei watched Qi Shaoze leave unhappily, then turned to the quack doctor.
“He’s too much,” Chu He looked at Gu Mei unhappily, comforting her, “You’ve been wronged.”
Gu Mei’s face was ashen, her already ugly features distorted with jealousy towards Gu Qingcheng, becoming even more ferocious.
She clenched her teeth, staring at the soundproof door, “It’s nothing, after all, we both need each other.’
Chu He comforted Gu Mei, gently patting her left shoulder in silence.
After estimating the time, Gu Mei hesitated before opening the door and entering.
This small room was specially prepared for Gu Qingcheng, soundproofed, so no sound from inside could be heard outside and vice versa. But the moment she entered, a bone-chilling cold hit her.
Cold.
Extremely cold.
She purposely tortured Gu Qingcheng by setting the air conditioner to the lowest, hoping to freeze her into painful misery if not death.
She didn’t know if Gu Qingcheng was freezing to death, but she herself was shivering with cold.
“Mom, it’s too cold in here,” she turned to Chu He with a low voice, “You go wait in the monitoring room, don’t catch a cold.”
Chu He immediately understood Gu Mei was avoiding Qi Shaoze’s discovery of using air conditioning to torture Gu Qingcheng.
She nodded, whispering, “Be careful, Gu Qingcheng is cunning. Whether she’s poisoned or pretending to faint, be careful not to cause trouble.”
Gu Mei felt warm and moved by Chu He’s concern.
She held a grudge against Chu He for losing the phone with leverage over Gu Qingcheng but knew her mother didn’t do it on purpose. In her mother’s heart, she was still the most loved.
“Got it, Mom, don’t worry.”
Chu He nodded, “I’m going to Qi Shaoze.”
Gu Mei: “Okay.”
She watched Chu He leave, then turned to look at Gu Qingcheng in the small room.
“You can leave,” she said to the bodyguard, who had turned pale from the cold, but then stopped him as he was about to leave, “Don’t go, stay here to protect me.”
Bodyguard: “Yes.”
Gu Mei entered the small room. Gu Qingcheng still lay there, her stunningly beautiful face almost translucently pale as if she could vanish at any moment, looking weak and vulnerably beautiful.
Looking at such a stunningly beautiful Gu Qingcheng, Gu Mei’s heart was almost driven mad with jealousy.
But remembering Qi Shaoze was watching everything through the monitors, she forced herself to suppress her hatred and walked up to Gu Qingcheng.
“Sister, wake up,” she said softly and caringly, placing her hand near Gu Qingchengs nose.
Feeling Gu Qingcheng still breathing, she desperately wanted to strangle her but held back for the greater good.
“Sister, wake up,” she hypocritically called a couple of times, seeing no response from Gu Qingcheng, then pretended to say, “Doctor, come quickly and examine my sister to see what’s wrong.”
Gu Mei wouldn’t miss the chance with Gu Qingcheng unconscious. She subtly placed her hand on Gu Qingcheng’s waist.
Just as Gu Mei was about to squeeze hard, she saw a pair of slender jade hands quickly grab her neck, and suddenly she felt suffocated…
