Gu Qingcheng was pouring herself a glass of water when Gu Tianhao’s words made her hand freeze.
“What does it have to do with you?” she spat out coldly.
Chu He saw the displeasure in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes and chuckled.
Did Gu Qingcheng still use test tubes?
Huo Sicheng had already taken over such a big company, so there was no need for him to give birth to another child.
However, only she and her daughter, Gu Mei, knew about this. She did not plan to tell Gu Tianhao. After all, her daughter, Gu Mei, did not allow her to tell him.
In the past, Gu Tianhao wouldn’t have spoiled Gu Qingcheng. He would have slapped her across the face.
However, Huo Sicheng pointed out that Gu Qingcheng was in charge of everything during dinner at the Gu family home. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to coax his rebellious daughter, Gu Qingcheng, without any regard for his dignity!
He took a deep breath to calm himself down and said lovingly, “I’m just thinking for you. The Hunts are big, so they definitely need an heir. If Sicheng can’t have children, the pressure will be on your side. Now that medical science is advanced, even if the husband is sterile, there may be a few viable eggs that can be used for in vitro fertilization. You can give birth yourself.
“If Sicheng’s accident when he was young made him sterile, then you can’t use in vitro fertilization. You should plan to adopt a child from the orphanage as soon as possible. The sooner you adopt a child, the sooner you can build a family relationship with Sicheng. In the future, your Huo family’s status will be secure, and you will have an heir.”
Gu Qingcheng married Huo Sicheng because she wanted him. She had no interest in the Huo family’s assets.
Besides, Huo Sicheng already had a son, Huo Xuan, so she didn’t have to worry about the heir. In the future, all the financial power of the Huo family would belong to Huo Xuan.
Therefore, Gu Tianhao’s words sounded like nonsense to her.
“This is my family matter. You don’t have to ask.”
Gu Tianhao’s face froze in anger at Gu Qingcheng’s ungrateful attitude.
He suppressed the anger he felt for Gu Qingcheng and said, “I’m doing this for your own good. You…
“Whether it’s for me or for you, you know very well in your heart.” Gu Qingcheng didn’t give Gu Tianhao any face. “If you want to eat, then eat. Don’t say things I don’t like to hear.”
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely cold.
Chu He didn’t plan to mediate. She wanted Gu Qingcheng to anger Gu Tianhao so that he would understand that no matter how much he tried to curry favor with Gu Qingcheng, it would be useless. Only by killing Gu Qingcheng could he completely stop the scourge.
At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes to the table. “Spicy fried bullfrog.”
Gu Tianhao and Chu He immediately covered their noses. The smell of the chili was unbearable.
“This… How is this a dish?” Gu Tianhao pointed at the dish. “It’s all dried chili.
Where’s the bullfrog?”
“Achoo.” Chu He choked and sneezed. “Heavens, how can this be eaten? It’s so pungent.”
Gu Qingcheng could eat spicy food. She calmly picked up her chopsticks and picked up some bullfrog meat from the pile of chili. She placed it in Gu Tianhao and Chu He’s bowls.
“Who says there are no bullfrogs? Isn’t this just meat?” She looked at Chu He and Gu Tianhao. “Otherwise, I’ll eat alone. You don’t have to ask me out.”
Gu Tianhao had no choice but to bite the bullet after hearing Gu Qingcheng’s words.
The moment he put the bullfrog meat into his mouth with his chopsticks, he felt as if his mouth was on fire. It was so spicy that it hurt.
“Atchoo, Atchoo…’
Chu He hadn’t eaten yet, but seeing Gu Tianhao’s expression, she knew that it was very spicy.
At this moment, Gu Tianhao and Chu He were sneezing non-stop.
The waiter served another dish of Double Pepper Fish. It was another fish dish covered in chili.
Gu Qingcheng reminded Gu Tianhao and Chu He, “Don’t sneeze at the table. I still have to eat.”
Gu Tianhao and Chu He turned their heads helplessly and sneezed, but the chili in the air choked their noses and they couldn’t stop sneezing.
After learning that Huo Sicheng couldn’t eat spicy food, Gu Qingcheng, who loved spicy food like her life, hadn’t eaten spicy food for a long time. Today, she had a great appetite, satisfying the spicy craving that she had been suppressing for a long time.
Gu Qingcheng enjoyed the meal, but Gu Tianhao and Chu He were in pain.
“It’s done. I’ll take the black truffle.” She stood up and looked at Gu Tianhao and his wife who were in a sorry state. “Remember to pay the bill.”
“Wait a minute.” Gu Tianhao immediately called out to Gu Qingcheng. “You and Sicheng should come home for dinner tomorrow.”
“Eat…” Gu Qingcheng looked at Chu He with a half-smile. “If you want me and Sicheng to go back for dinner, that’s fine. The condition is that you have to ask your wife if she is willing to let us go back for dinner, so that we won’t make a table full of inedible food.”
Chu He froze. She hadn’t expected Gu Qingcheng to turn on her.
“Of course, I sincerely invite you and your wife back for dinner.” She looked at Gu Qingcheng with a smile. “Qingcheng, you and Sicheng should go home for dinner. If you’re not satisfied with the food at home, you can bring the chef over to cook for you.”
Gu Qingcheng smiled meaningfully. “I’m bringing the chef to your house for dinner. Why can’t I eat at my own house?”
Chu He’s expression changed slightly, and her palm was crushed.
Bitch Gu Qingcheng! She tried every possible way to disgust her, forcing her to think about how Gu Qingcheng had sent people to torture her daughter, Gu Mei.
Wait a minute.
Why did Gu Qingcheng keep talking about the Gu family’s food?
She knew that her daughter, Gu Mei, was hiding something from her, but she didn’t expect Gu Qingcheng to know about it.
It seemed that Gu Qingcheng was not simply torturing Gu Mei. Gu Mei must have tampered with the food that day.
“Xiao He, what happened?”
Chu He knew that Gu Qingcheng had refused to go back to the Gu family’s house for dinner in front of Gu Tianhao, so that Gu Tianhao would hold her accountable.
She quickly said to Gu Tianhao pitifully, “You heard it just now. Qingcheng wasn’t satisfied with the food when we went back to the Gu residence.”
As she spoke, her face was full of grievance and apology. “Hubby, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not handling the dishes properly. I didn’t make Qingcheng and Sicheng happy. It’s my fault. I’ll go back and personally replace the chefs. I’ll get a new batch of chefs who can satisfy Qingcheng. I guarantee that I won’t make the same mistake as last time.”
“I see.” Hearing this, Gu Tianhao’s cold expression softened. He looked at Gu Qingcheng and said, “Qingcheng, it’s just a table of dishes. Why are you making things difficult for your auntie? Don’t worry, I’ll go back and change the chef personally today. I guarantee that you and Sicheng will be able to eat satisfactory food when you return home tomorrow.”
Gu Qingcheng smiled.
In order to protect Gu Mei, Chu He pushed all the blame for the food poisoning that day onto her, making her the scapegoat.
She would not tolerate this.
“Gu Tianhao, you’re wrong.” She looked down at Gu Tianhao. “The food was delicious that day. The only thing that wasn’t delicious was one dish. If you don’t know how to ask Chu He, Chu He won’t tell you. You can also ask your precious daughter Gu Mei. Your precious daughter, Gu Mei, must be lying weakly at home now. If she can’t answer you, you can ask your family’s private doctor. If all of them can’t answer you, you can ask me, and I’ll tell you what happened.”
Gu Tianhao could hear the hidden meaning in Gu Qingcheng’s words.
His face darkened as he looked at Chu He and asked angrily, “Chu He, tell me the truth.. Which dish had a problem? What did Xiao Mei do?”
