Chapter 177: High-profile Doting, Young Master Huo’s Possession
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Mei choked on Gu Qingcheng’s words.
Gu Qingcheng was telling the truth.
When Qin Jun was Gu Qingcheng’s boyfriend, she had tried to climb into his bed just to steal him away from her.
In order to successfully snatch Qin Jun away, she had to tolerate Qin Jun to the extreme.
Therefore, whenever Qin Jun was angry with Gu Qingcheng, he would vent his anger on her.
Not only was she abused by Qin Jun, but she was also almost strangled to death by him once!
What was worse was that Gu Qingcheng was married to Huo Sicheng, but she couldn’t marry him!
If she had known that Gu Qingcheng was going to marry Huo Sicheng, she would have snatched him away before Gu Qingcheng did. She would never have given Gu Qingcheng the chance to marry Huo Sicheng!
The foie gras she ate and the wine she drank had taken effect. Her face was abnormally red, and she was panting.
“Gu Qingcheng, I’m prettier than you. I’ve always been prettier than you,” she refused to admit defeat and taunted, “All the women in this world, including you, are ugly. I’m the most beautiful woman in the world! Just you wait, I’ll take Huo Sicheng away sooner or later!”
“As long as I’m here, you won’t have a chance to steal Huo Sicheng away,” Gu Qingcheng stomped her foot hard. She only moved her foot away when Gu Mei was about to faint. “Gu Mei, I’ll treat you the same way you treat my husband!”
After she finished speaking, she looked at the man pushing the wheelchair with a dark gaze.
The man pushed Gu Mei away.
“Gu Qingcheng!” Gu Mei roared. “You b*tch! I’ll kill you!”
In one of the rooms, Gu Mei, who was cursing at Gu Qingcheng, saw five strong and ugly men standing a few steps away.
She immediately screamed in fear, “Help… Help! Who can save me…”
The five men rubbed their palms together and walked in front of Gu Mei with evil smiles. “Let us have a good time tonight.. ‘
Gu Qingcheng watched as Gu Mei was pushed away, screaming angrily.
If her husband, Huo Sicheng, hadn’t been treated urgently, he would have been killed by Gu Mei. She would have been a widow today.
The thought of Huo Sicheng being almost killed by Gu Mei made her heart burn with anger.
Turning around, she calmed herself down and walked into another private room.
In the dim light of the room, a tall man was leaning against the sofa, his eagle-like eyes fixed on Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng sat down on the sofa opposite the man.
As she got closer, she saw a man in black casual clothes. He was tall and had a handsome face with sharp edges. Because of the long scar on the right side of his face, he looked fierce and resolute.
The man spoke first. His voice was magnetic and carried a hint of forbearance. “I thought you would never contact me in this lifetime.”
“How could I not contact you? After all, you’re the young master of the Lu family. You’re the only one in Jiang City. I just didn’t expect you to come and see me in person.” Gu Qingcheng took out a set of cards and placed them on the table. “Here’s the medicine and tonight’s money. Five million is a lot.”
“Since you’re so generous, I’m sure you won’t be short of money after marrying Huo Sicheng.” Lu Chi’s eyes were locked on Gu Qingcheng. “But, based on my understanding of you, you wouldn’t spend Huo Sicheng’s money.”
Gu Qingcheng picked up a glass of water from the table and took a sip. “I’m not going for that race because I have something urgent to attend to. I didn’t go to the battle in the back alley because I had something urgent to attend to.”
“Then you really have a lot of urgent matters to attend to. After waiting for so many years, this is the explanation you gave me after ignoring my existence for so many years?” Lu Chi sneered. “Gu Qingcheng, you’re so heartless.”
Gu Qingcheng put down the glass of water in her hand and looked straight at
Lu Chi. “I’m just telling the truth. It’s up to you whether you believe me or not.”
“Ha…” Lu Chi laughed coldly. “What a good one. Believe it or not. You should know what happened to this scar on my face.”
“With the advancement of medical technology, it’s easy to remove a scar. You deliberately didn’t remove it just to remind you that I owe you an explanation,” Gu Qingcheng told Lu Chi frankly. “You don’t have to be so stubborn. I’ve already given you the answer you wanted.” “I’m not satisfied with your answer.” “That’s my only answer,” Gu Qingcheng said.
Lu Chi didn’t say anything.
Gu Qingcheng didn’t say anything either. There was a dead silence between her and Lu Chi.
Time passed in a flash, and the sun rose the next day.
The door of the private room opened, and the man who had pushed Gu Mei’s wheelchair earlier walked in. He walked up to Gu Qingcheng and placed a silver USB drive on the table before her.
Gu Qingcheng picked up the USB drive and stood up to leave.
“Stop! It’s been many years since we last met. Let’s have breakfast together,” Lu Chi said indifferently.
Gu Qingcheng’s high heels clattered against the floor.
“I don’t want to eat. I miss my husband. I’m going home to find him.” She left without looking back.
“Master Lu,” the man asked respectfully. “Do you want to stop Miss Gu?”
“Gu Qingcheng is a fierce woman,” Lu Chi said, his sharp eyes staring at the closed door and then at the card on the table. “Return the card to her! Tell her to think about it before explaining to me. Unless she can convince me, there’s no end between us.”
“Yes, Master Lu.”
At this moment, Gu Qingcheng was driving at a red light. She looked at the USB in her hand and thought of Lu Chi. Memories that had been sealed in her mind for many years came back to her.
She and Lu Chi knew each other through underground boxing. No one believed that the thin and weak her could win, only Lu Chi bet on her.
That night, she had won against her opponent with her skills. Lu Chi had earned a huge sum of money and shared it with her.
She didn’t ask for more money from him. She only took the money she deserved.
Ever since that night, as long as she was around, Lu Chi would always be around. After a while, they got to know each other better, and she finally knew that he was the young master of the Lu family.
As the eldest daughter of the Gu family, no matter how hard her life was, she had more channels to understand interpersonal relationships than ordinary people.
The Lu family lived on the edge of the knife. They were afraid of the Lu family in the underworld, but at the same time, the Lu family had many enemies.
After the wife of Lu Zhen, the head of the Lu family was killed, she retreated behind the scenes, and Lu Chi officially took over the Lu family. The scar on his face was also related to her.
Back then, she and Lu Chi…
Suddenly, “Beep!” A horn sounded, and her thoughts were interrupted.
She suddenly came back to her senses and realized that the red light at the intersection had turned green. Someone behind the car honked to urge her to leave.
After sorting out her thoughts, she drove back to Wanmei Villa.
When she returned to Wanmei Villa, it was already ten in the morning. When she entered the living room, she saw Huo Si sitting in the living room with a dazed expression. She was quite surprised.
“Hubby…”
Huo Sicheng’s eyes sparkled when he saw Gu Qingcheng.
“I’m back.” His voice was low and hoarse.
Gu Qingcheng hurried over to Huo Sicheng. “Yes, you’re back.”
She looked at Huo Sicheng’s pale face and asked him, “Why aren’t you resting in your room when you’re not feeling well? Why are you sitting in the living room?”
