Qin Chong was startled, and his gaze towards Gu Qingcheng became more complex.
Qin Jun’s already frustrated and unpleasant face became even more embarrassed upon hearing the words “Mr. Huo.”
Lu Chi slightly narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Gu Qingcheng.
Upon hearing “Mr. Huo,” Gu Qingcheng, who was enjoying making Qin Chong and others look foolish, had the smile on her face fade slightly.
Had Gu Tianhao gone mad?
Mr. Huo, which other Mr. Huo could it be? It must be Huo Sicheng who had arrived.
She had just told Gu Tianhao and others that Huo Sicheng was busy with work and had no time to come to the Gu family, and the next second, Huo Sicheng came to the Gu house. He was deliberately making her lose face!
Qin Chong: “Which other Mr. Huo could it be? It’s Sicheng who has come.”
Gu Tianhao was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Gu Qingcheng and told the butler, “Quickly invite Sicheng to the dining room, we’re just about to have a meal.”
Butler: “Yes, Master.”
Upon hearing of Huo Sicheng’s arrival, Gu Tianhao was in a great mood. “Qingcheng, you child, you said Sicheng was busy with work, but here he is.”
“It must be that he came after finishing his work,” Gu Qingcheng replied, suddenly in a bad mood, “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come.”
Gu Tianhao smiled and then turned to Lu Chi, “Young Master Lu, don’t just stand there, please take a seat. Once Sicheng arrives, we’ll have a meal.”
Gu Qingcheng looked towards Lu Chi, “Lu Chi, sit next to me.”
Lu Chi couldn’t utter a single word.
Gu Qingcheng emphasized, “I told you to sit, what are you hesitating for?”
Lu Chi’s eyes flickered, and after sitting down next to Gu Qingcheng, he whispered, “I wasn’t hesitating, I was thinking about what you said earlier that the food might be tampered with. Now you’re asking me to sit down, do you want to see me poisoned?”
Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Lu Chi, “I just asked you to sit down, I didn’t ask you to eat.”
“That’s true too,” Lu Chi calmly replied, “But you’re up to no good. If your husband Huo Sicheng has time to come to the Gu house, why did you call me to come here as your bodyguard? And now, with Huo Sicheng coming to the dining room, you’re asking me to sit next to you?”
Gu Qingcheng glanced sharply at Lu Chi, “You talk too much nonsense.”
“You’re using me, that’s fine,” Lu Chi said meaningfully, “But I’m a person with boundaries, I don’t like being used as a tool by married women, especially not a pretend rival for Huo Sicheng.”
Gu Qingcheng’s face stiffened at Lu Chi’s words, and she glanced at him.
“Who asked you to be Huo Sicheng’s rival, you’re clear with me,” she whispered
to Lu Chi, “Being a tool costs money. If you’ll be my this tool this time, deduct
the expenses from those fifty million.”
“You really talk about money in everything,” Lu Chi said.
Gu Qingcheng said irritably, “If I don’t money, should I talk affection with you?”
Lu Chi: “Talking about affection is too abstract, let’s stick to money between us, money is tangible and real.”
Gu Qingcheng was about to speak when a gaze fell on her, prompting her to look over.
At a glance, she locked eyes with Huo Sicheng’s deep and dark phoenix eyes.
Dressed in a sharp black suit, with a tall and elegant figure, Huo Sicheng’s arrival attracted everyone’s attention with his extraordinary handsomeness.
But in his eyes, there was only Gu Qingcheng. Seeing that she was fine, his tense heart relaxed, but seeing her sitting with Lu Chi, his heart tightened again.
“Sicheng, you’re here,” Gu Tianhao broke the silence cheerfully, “I was just asking Qingcheng why you hadn’t come, she said you were busy with work, you just finished work and came over, right?”
Huo Sicheng nodded slightly.
“Sit down,” Gu Tianhao gestured, “You’ve come just in time, we’re about to have a meal.”
The butler had already moved the chair next to Gu Qingcheng to make space.
Huo Sicheng wheeled his wheelchair over to Gu Qingcheng’s side.
Qin Chong turned to Huo Sicheng and said, “Sicheng, before you arrived, Qingcheng and I had already cleared the air, and from now on, she and Ah Jun will let bygones be bygones.”
The darkness in Huo Sicheng’s narrow, slanted eyes deepened slightly, “Is that
“Yes,” Gu Tianhao chimed in, “Qingcheng and Ah Jun have made up, from now on, our three families shouldn’t harbor the past conflicts, we’re still family.”
Huo Sicheng ignored Gu Tianhao; his ‘is that so’ was not directed at Qin Chong and others, but at Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng knew Huo Sicheng was asking her. She ignored him and didn’t pay attention to Gu Tianhao and the others.
She had enjoyed making Qin Chong and others lose face and was about to leave with Lu Chi, but with Huo Sicheng’s arrival, she lost her excuse to leave.
Qin Chong’s gaze shifted between Gu Tianhao and Huo Sicheng, eventually settling on Gu Qingcheng.
“Tianhao, Sicheng was asking Qingcheng, not you.”
“Uh…” Gu Tianhao was taken aback, then realizing it, he looked at Gu Qingcheng and said, “Qingcheng, you tell Sicheng, so he won’t be confused about you and Ah Jun making up.”
“There’s nothing much to say,” Gu Qingcheng said calmly, “What I wanted to say, you’ve already said for me.”
Gu Tianhao and Qin Chong exchanged glances, “Let’s eat first, don’t let the food get cold.”
“I’ve already eaten a lot with Lu Chi when I came, I’m not hungry,” Gu Qingcheng stood up from her chair, “I don’t know if it’s because of the heat or what, but I feel particularly stuffy and have a severe headache, I need some air,
I’ll step out first.”
Saying so, she headed towards the door.
Lu Chi, acting as a dutiful bodyguard, immediately followed Gu Qingcheng.
Huo Sicheng watched this scene, his hand involuntarily tightening into a fist.
Gu Tianhao, astonished at Gu Qingcheng’s departure, looked at Huo Sicheng, “Sicheng, this…”
“She’s been saying she has a headache and feels unwell all day,” Huo Sicheng explained, “I’ll go find her and take her home to see a doctor, you guys go ahead and eat.”
“Sicheng…” Gu Tianhao watched helplessly as Huo Sicheng left the dining room, his brows furrowed.
“Stop the couple.” Qin Chong’s face no longer held the gentleness it had earlier when facing Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng, and he coldly said to Gu Tianhao, “It was not easy to get them to come to the Gu house together, I have a lot more to say and we can’t let them leave like this.”
“If Huo Sicheng wants to leave, no one can stop him,” Gu Tianhao said this, but his steps headed towards the door. “I’ll try to stop them, but if I fail, we’ll have to find another way to see Huo Sicheng.”
Qin Chong looked at Gu Tianhao, “Try your best to stop Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng, I’m afraid I won’t have another chance to see them, I have a lot to discuss with Sicheng.”
Gu Tianhao hurriedly left.
Qin Jun looked astonished at Qin Chong, “Dad, what are you talking about? You will live a long life.”
Qin Chong’s gaze sharply fixed on Qin Jun, “Stop pissing me off and I will definitely live a long life.”
Qin Jun dared not speak anymore.
Qin Chong glared at Qin Jun, “If it wasn’t for you, your Uncle Gu and I wouldn’t have to go to such lengths to curry favor with Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng!” Qin Jun lowered his head, trembling.
At that moment, Gu Qingcheng, who had left the dining room, headed towards the garage. Needing air was just an excuse; her real intention was to leave the place.
Lu Chi, observing Gu Qingcheng’s actions, asked her, “Aren’t you waiting for your husband Huo Sicheng?”
