Gu Qingcheng put down the coffee cup in her hand, exuding an air of elegance and nobility.
“Did I not make myself clear enough?” Her eyes were bright and clear, as if there was no scheming in them. She said to Yuan Qiaolan word by word, “No wonder Chu He didn’t take you seriously because you’re not worthy of being her opponent. After all, you don’t even know how much 800 billion is.”
Yuan Qiaolan slammed the table angrily. “Gu Qingcheng, you’re asking for it! How dare you mock me!”
“Did I say something wrong?” Gu Qingcheng smiled faintly, her voice soft but sharp. “Big Sister Yuan, that’s 800 billion. Even if you send beggars away and give them cash one by one, it’ll take more than a month.”
Yuan Qiaolan picked up the coffee in front of her and threw it at Gu Qingcheng’s face.
“Who’s a beggar? Who the hell are you calling a beggar from the Heavenly
State?!”
Gu Qingcheng turned her head and avoided the cup of coffee.
“Sister Yuan, please calm down. I’m just making an analogy, not saying that you’re a beggar.” She smiled sweetly. “I told you not to be angry. Otherwise, your beauty will be wasted. Two months. I’ll definitely give you two months. I’ll keep my word.”
Yuan Qiaolan’s lungs were about to explode from anger.
She was the one who had threatened Gu Qingcheng, but now she was being threatened by Gu Qingcheng!
That damned Gu Qingcheng!
For the sake of 800 billion yuan, she had to bear with it. There was still a long time left, and she had plenty of ways to torture Gu Qingcheng!
She quickly raised her hand to caress her face, comforting herself not to be angry, lest she get wrinkles.
“Alright, two months.” She replied angrily. “Come to my house for dinner tonight,” she added, “My son still doesn’t know about what happened between the two of us. I’m not discussing with you, I’m ordering you!”
Gu Qingcheng smiled.
Orders?
No one could order her around!
Even Huo Sicheng couldn’t order her around!
Therefore, Yuan Qiaolan was nothing.
She took out her phone and dialed a number. She pressed the speaker button and said gently, “Ah Feng, have you arrived at the company?”
On the other end of the phone, Yuan Feng clearly hadn’t expected Gu Qingcheng to call him. He couldn’t hide the joy in his voice.
“I’m already at the company. Are you still with my mother?”
Gu Qingcheng glanced at Yuan Qiaolan and said, “Yes, I’m still drinking coffee with Auntie. ”
Yuan Qiaolan widened her eyes and said angrily in a low voice, “What are you doing?”
Gu Qingcheng ignored Yuan Qiaolan and asked Yuan Feng gently, “I’m going to have lunch with my family at the Gu residence today. Why don’t I not have dinner at your house tonight?”
Yuan Feng was shocked. “Return… The Gu family? You want me to have dinner with you at the Gu residence? Really? Should I prepare a gift for them?”
Yuan Qiaolan was shocked. Gu Qingcheng wanted her son, Yuan Feng, to go to the Gu family?
Panicking, she snatched Gu Qingcheng’s phone away and hung up. “Gu
Qingcheng, what do you mean?”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Yuan Qiaolan innocently. “Sister Yuan, didn’t you hear me? I want to bring Ah Feng back to the Gu family for lunch.”
Yuan Qiaolan’s face was cold. She was so angry that she wanted to hit Gu Qingcheng.
She couldn’t push her son, Yuan Feng, into the Gu family’s fire pit. If Chu He saw her son appear, she would definitely think that she was doing everything she could to win Gu Qingcheng over. At that time, Chu He would definitely think of a way to deal with her.
“It’s just a meal. We’ll eat together next time.” Her voice was cold. “Come to my house for dinner another day. Ah Feng has a lot of things to do today, and I have to go to the beauty salon too. I don’t have time to go home for dinner.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Yuan Qiaolan, her face turning green and white. She smiled brightly.
She had plenty of ways to deal with Yuan Qiaolan.
Since Yuan Qiaolan was looking for a way out, she naturally had to give Yuan Qiaolan face.
“Since Sister Yuan said so, we can only do it next time.” She stood up and said considerately. “I want to go back to the Gu family for dinner. Let’s meet Sister
Yuan another day.”
Yuan Qiaolan snorted coldly and turned her head to ignore Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng’s face made her angry. She had been mocked by Gu Qingcheng all day.
All of a sudden, she recalled the scene of Chu He torturing Gu Qingcheng.
Chu He had tortured Gu Qingcheng so cruelly, but Gu Qingcheng was willing to endure the pain and didn’t even admit defeat. It was obvious how strong Gu Qingcheng was.
She had to find a way to control Gu Qingcheng as soon as possible.
Gu Qingcheng wasn’t annoyed by Yuan Qiaolan’s disregard for her, and she enjoyed slapping Yuan Qiaolan in the face.
She left the cafe and sat in the car. She checked the time, and it was already 11 pm. She should return to the Gu family; otherwise, Chu He would call and scold her.
In the next moment, she started the car and headed to the Gu residence.
On the way, she called Huo Siqian’s phone, but he picked up immediately.
“Why did you answer the phone so quickly?” she asked Huo Sicheng in surprise.
“Aren’t you busy with work?”
Far away at the Huo Corporation, Si Cheng heard Gu Qingcheng’s voice, and his lips curled into a smile. He was in a good mood.
Chu Yu, who was standing in front of the large desk, glanced at the pile of documents on the table. The corners of his mouth twitched.
How could President Huo have finished his work? There were still so many things that he hadn’t dealt with.
Besides, what did he mean by just in time to pick up the phone?
Mr. Huo seemed to be focused on his work in the morning. He would check his phone from time to time. He was familiar with Mr. Huo’s focus when he was busy with work. He knew that Mr. Huo had been waiting for his wife, Gu Qingcheng, to call.
When Gu Qingcheng’s phone rang, Mr. Huo didn’t even have time to put down the documents in his hand. He answered the phone first and even looked happy. It was obvious that Mr. Huo had been waiting for Gu Qingcheng’s call for a long time.
Hearing Huo Cheng’s deep and magnetic voice, Gu Qingcheng smiled gently and said, “It’s noon. No matter how busy you are, you have to put down your work and eat first.”
“Alright,” Huo Sicheng said gently.
“That’s good.” Gu Qingcheng chuckled. “I’ll be home early when I’m done. I’ll make dinner for you and Xuan ‘er.”
Huo Sicheng’s eyes flashed when he heard the words ‘Gu Gu’.
“Where are you?”
“I’m driving to the Gu family. What’s wrong?” Gu Qingcheng asked.
Huo Sicheng had already pressed the button for the wheelchair to go to the door. “Pull the car to the side of the road. Gu Qingcheng was shocked. “Why?”
Huo Sicheng didn’t say anything.
Gu Qingcheng didn’t understand what Huo Sicheng meant by that, but she still parked her car by the roadside.
“Do you have something to tell me? Or what?”
“I’m fine,” Huo Sicheng replied.
Gu Qingcheng was stunned. “Nothing? Why did you ask me to park the car by the roadside?”
Huo Sicheng didn’t answer Gu Qingcheng. Instead, he asked her,
“It stopped,” Gu Qingcheng replied.
Huo Sicheng did not say anything.
Gu Qingcheng waited for a long time, but Huo Sicheng didn’t say anything.
She looked at her phone. The call was not cut off. It was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she was a little confused.
After a while, Huo Sicheng said in a low voice, “Open the door.”
Gu Qingcheng had just checked the time. It was almost midnight, and she was in a hurry.
Just as she was about to tell Huo Sicheng to hang up and drive to the Gu residence, she heard his pleasant voice.
However, his words made her feel baffled.
“Open the door?” “What door?” she asked Huo Sicheng in shock..”
