Chapter 254: Do You Still Have a Reason for Cheating?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingcheng was speechless at Huo Xuan’s question.
A child like Huo Xuan couldn’t contemplate adult matters, not least of all matters between husband and wife.
“Don’t ask about this.” She tightened her grip on Huo Xuan’s arm. “Is there anything you want to eat? Milk tea and dessert? Mommy can buy it for you on the way.”
“I don’t want to eat those.” Huo Xuan shook his head gently and continued,
“Mom, can’t you make Dad stay?”
“Mommy doesn’t want to talk about this for the time being.” As soon as Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, she saw a helicopter flying over her head. She looked up and got into the car with Huo Xuan.
Huo Xuan watched his father leave. It was a foregone conclusion. No matter how much he said, his mother would not listen to him. He could only sit in the backseat obediently.
There was no competition for the Peach Lotus Cup today, so Li Jing was at school. When Gu Qingcheng arrived, Li Jing had been waiting for her for a long time.
Huo Xuan had never told anyone about this, so Gu Qingcheng drove the car to her personal lounge to avoid being seen. She carried him into the room quickly.
She asked Huo Xuan to play in the inner room while she met Li Jing in the outer room.
Li Jing was stunned when she saw Gu Qingcheng holding the child in her arms.
She saw that the child was wearing a cap and had his head buried in Gu Qingcheng’s arms. She couldn’t see his face, but she could tell that he was a little boy from his clothes.
“Whose family is that little boy from?”
“My family.” Gu Qingcheng told Li Jing the truth and asked, “What’s the situation with Ziyu?”
Li Jing had never seen Gu Qingcheng pregnant before, so she knew that it wasn’t Gu Qingcheng’s son. It must have been someone else’s child that Gu Qingcheng had taken care of first.
She stopped asking about the boy and said to Gu Qingcheng, “Ziyu said that you can deal with her family matters. A few days ago, a lawyer came to me and asked about her. Because of this, Ziyu is still conflicted about whether to sue her stepfather.
“Moreover, Ziyu’s mother was beaten to a pulp, but she was still unwilling to get a divorce. Ziyu was very troubled about this. She had a boyfriend and recently broke up with him. All the factors were affecting her mood. She was in a daze even when she was practicing dancing. A few teachers had tried to persuade her, and I had tried to persuade her to no avail. That’s why I asked you to come forward personally. I think she will listen to what you say.”
“Let Ziyu come here to talk.” Gu Qingcheng told Li Jing, “Is her boyfriend from our school?”
“Her boyfriend is a junior, and he happens to be in school today.” Li Jing was hinting at Gu Qingcheng. “I’ve made a detailed record. Ziyu’s results are among the best. I think she has a chance of winning. However, there was another girl who was famous for her sword dance and her score was very close, so her mood was very important. If something happened to her and she made a mistake in the competition, she would lose the championship. She was about to graduate and would not be qualified to participate in the Peach Lotus Cup.
Losing the championship would be a lifetime regret.”
Gu Qingcheng nodded. She understood what Li Jing meant.
“Get Ziyu and her boyfriend here. I’ll talk to them.”
“Alright.”
After Li Jing left, Gu Qingcheng walked into the inner room and saw Huo Xuan sitting in front of the computer, playing with it.
She walked over and saw a bunch of codes on the computer screen.
“Who taught you this technique?”
“Daddy taught me.” Huo Xuan’s fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard to code.
“Daddy is very capable. He deserves Mommy’s love.”
Gu Qingcheng’s heart ached. She said gently, “You can play on the computer first. Mommy needs to settle some things outside.”
“Alright, I’ll do as you ask, Mommy.” Huo Xuan replied obediently.
Gu Qingcheng went to the outer room and made some kung fu tea, waiting for Li Jing to bring Ziyu and the others over.
After a long time, Li Jing brought Ziyu and the others over.
Li Jing gave Gu Qingcheng a look. “You guys talk.”
Gu Qingcheng nodded at Li Jing. She saw Li Jing turn to Ziyu after she left. Ziyu was wearing a purple short skirt today and had light makeup on. Her slender figure was tall and beautiful, and her entire body exuded elegance. Zhang Qing was the only son of Teacher Zhang in this competition. He was tall and thin, wearing a white sweater.
His eyes were filled with amazement when he saw Gu Qingcheng. Principal Gu was a popular figure, and he was a trending topic wherever he went. He had wanted to ride on the popularity more than once, and if he didn’t do it, he might become famous.
However, Principal Gu was an elusive figure. Even his father rarely saw him. As a student, he was even less qualified to see him.
This was also the first time he had seen Principal Gu up close. She was so beautiful that he could not take his eyes off her.
To him, she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Ziyu saw Zhang Qing staring at Principal Gu in a lovestruck manner. She raised her leg and stomped on Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing immediately glared at Ziyu, who was beside him, in pain. Seeing Ziyu’s warning gaze, he realized that he had been rude and hurriedly didn’t dare to look at Qingcheng again.
Gu Qingcheng had been waiting for the match to finish off Ms. Zhang. She hadn’t expected to run into Ms. Zhang’s son, Ziyu, halfway through the Peach Lotus Cup.
She had saved Ziyu’s life, and she wasn’t going to let Zhang Qing ruin it.
Ziyu’s eyes lit up when she saw Gu Qingcheng. She said politely, “Hello, Principal Gu.”
“Good morning, Principal Gu.” Zhang Qing hurriedly said politely. Gu Qingcheng nodded at Zhang Qing and Ziyu. “Have a seat.”
Ziyu and Zhang Qing sat down cautiously.
Gu Qingcheng glanced at Ziyu, who was sitting close to her, and pointed at the tea on the table. “I just brewed some tea. Help yourself.”
Ziyu carefully held a cup of tea.
When Zhang Qing saw Ziyu holding a cup of tea, he quickly imitated her and held a cup of tea in his hand.
Seeing that Ziyu and Zhang Qing were too nervous to drink tea, Gu Qingcheng went straight to the point. “Ziyu, the semi-finals are about to begin. You’re really disappointing me by affecting the competition because of your feelings.”
Ziyu’s body trembled. She bit her lower lip and said softly, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault.’
“You are wrong.” Gu Qingcheng took a sip of her tea and looked at Zhang Qing coldly. “Zhang Qing is at fault too.”
Zhang Qing’s face paled and he didn’t dare to speak.
“Tell me, what’s going on between the two of you?” Gu Qingcheng looked away and put down her teacup. In a dignified and elegant voice, she said casually, “Ziyu, tell me about your relationship with Zhang Qing first.”
Ziyu felt uneasy when Gu Qingcheng called out to her. She looked at Zhang Qing resentfully.
Zhang Qing’s face was pale as he looked at Ziyu. He looked away guiltily.
Ziyu saw that Zhang Qing was avoiding her and said unhappily, “Principal Gu,
Zhang Qing cheated on me. I dated him for three years, but he…”
Gu Qingcheng didn’t say anything. She listened to Ziyu’s half-blaming, half-painful confession about their relationship.
When she heard about Ziyu’s relationship, she felt the same way in many places.
Especially when Ziyu said that Zhang Qing didn’t know how to dote on her and was two-timing. She had been tolerating Zhang Qing’s adultery even though she knew about it. This was exactly the same situation as she and Huo Sicheng.
She could feel Ziyu’s pain, but she was different.
“Principal Gu, Zhang Qing is a scumbag.” Ziyu had already started crying. “I’ve been with him for so many years. I’m devoted to him. The person he cheated on was my best friend. They’re too shameless.”
Gu Qingcheng handed the tissue box to Ziyu and asked in a harsh tone, “So you’re not even going to care about the competition for Zhang Qing?”
