Chapter 296: The Irreconcilable Feud Between the Qin and Huo Families

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng’s angry expression and gently tried to pacify her, “It’s my fault, calm down.”

Gu Qingcheng was indeed angry, and quite intensely so.

But that didn’t mean she lost her reason. Seeing Huo Sicheng’s sincere apology in his eyes, she felt a pang of sympathy for him.

She knew all too well that Huo Sicheng, always seen as superior by others, never apologized to anyone. Yet, he always apologized to her. It was impossible for her not to feel compassion for him, especially since he was the man she deeply loved.

“I’ll give you a chance to explain,” she said coldly to Huo Sicheng, “You better convince me, or I won’t calm down.”

Huo Sicheng understood Gu Qingcheng. He knew that her decision to stay and calmly give him a chance to explain was already a rare opportunity.

“My reason for saving Qin Chong is the same as yours for keeping Gu Mei and her daughter alive.”

With just a simple sentence, Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng in shock. She kept Gu Mei and Chu He alive to make them suffer, longing for death but unable to achieve it.

Huo Sicheng’s reason for saving Qin Chong was the same as hers, meaning he saved him to make Qin Chong suffer the same fate.

“Why?” she asked Huo Sicheng, puzzled, “Qin Chong is your cousin. After your parents passed away, he has always been helping you and the Huo family. What’s the reason behind your current thoughts?”

As she finished speaking, she recalled the conversation between Huo Sicheng and Qin Chong on the night of their engagement. At that time, she sensed something hidden between them.

However, she was so focused on marrying Huo Sicheng back then that she didn’t investigate their relationship, until Huo Sicheng’s words today reminded her of that night’s events.

Not waiting for Huo Sicheng to speak, she pressed on, “What grudge do you have against Qin Chong?”

“There are many grudges between me and Qin Chong,” Huo Sicheng responded calmly to Gu Qingcheng, “irreconcilable.”

Gu Qingcheng stared intently at Huo Sicheng. When he mentioned Qin Chong’s name, his expression was calm, showing no sign of the deep hatred he described.

She hesitated before asking Huo Sicheng, “Do you really have a grudge against Qin Chong, an irreconcilable one?”

Huo Sicheng confirmed, “Yes.”

Gu Qingcheng observed, “Your expression doesn’t look like you hold a grudge against Qin Chong.”

Her hatred for Gu Mei and Chu He made her burst with endless fury whenever she saw them. She made no effort to hide her desire to tear them apart!

Huo Sicheng’s reaction didn’t seem like he bore a grudge against Qin Chong, more like how they usually interacted.

“My grudge is different from yours,” Huo Sicheng gently stroked Gu

Qingcheng’s forehead, speaking softly, “If I showed the same hatred towards

Qin Chong as you do, I wouldn’t have lived to marry you.”

Gu Qingcheng’s eyes widened in shock, looking at Huo Sicheng.

His few words carried significant implications.

She had always thought Qin Chong was Huo Sicheng’s cousin. Everyone knew that after Huo Sicheng’s parents died, Qin Chong helped the Huo family until Huo Sicheng was able to take charge of the Huo Corporation. Huo Sicheng even grew up with Qin Chong’s assistance.

Now, Huo Sicheng’s words implied that Qin Chong’s help for the Huo family was never sincere from the beginning.

If she thought more maliciously, did Qin Chong plan to swallow the Huo Corporation after the car accident that killed Huo Sicheng’s parents? Was it only because Huo Sicheng was still alive that Qin Chong, as his cousin, had no choice but to help him?

No.

Her conjecture didn’t hold because Huo Sicheng was young enough for Qin Chong to easily kill him.

NO!

That’s also not right.

Because Huo Sicheng just said, if he had shown hatred towards Qin Chong, Qin Chong would have killed him in his youth, and she wouldn’t have had the chance to marry Huo Sicheng again.

After all, if Huo Sicheng had died young, she would never have met him in the future, nor would there have been a chance for Huo Sicheng to donate his kidney and blood to save her.

She suddenly felt overwhelmed, unable to comprehend the nature of the grudge between Huo Sicheng and Qin Chong.

“I don’t want to guess anymore about your grudge with Qin Chong. Why don’t you tell me the reason now?”

“Okay,” Huo Sicheng replied gently, “My grudge with Qin Chong..

Just as Huo Sicheng began to speak to Gu Qingcheng, Gu Tianhao’s voice interrupted, “Sicheng, how is Qingcheng feeling?”

Huo Sicheng’s voice abruptly stopped.

Gu Qingcheng, who was earnestly waiting to hear Huo Sicheng’s explanation about his grudge with Qin Chong, frowned and turned her head at the sound of Gu Tianhao’s voice.

She glanced at Gu Tianhao and then at Qin Chong, who was sitting in a wheelchair behind him, and instinctively tightened her grip on Huo Sicheng’s hand.

As long as she was there, she wouldn’t allow anyone to harm Huo Sicheng!

Not even Qin Chong!

Huo Sicheng’s eyes flashed, and he lowered his gaze to the hand that Gu Qingcheng was holding tightly.

Her hand was exerting a bit of force, as if to pass her strength to him.

He looked at her with tender eyes and couldn’t help but murmur softly, “Qingcheng…”

“En?” Gu Qingcheng turned to Huo Sicheng as he called her name, and as she looked into his bright, star-like phoenix eyes, her heart fluttered, and her cheeks flushed with shyness.

His gaze was so tender that she shyly averted his intense gaze,

“You’ve been away for too long,” Gu Tianhao said affectionately, looking at her, “You are my daughter, and I was worried about your health. I thought if you were still unwell, Dad could take you to see a doctor.”

Gu Qingcheng calmly responded to Gu Tianhao, “I’m fine now, you don’t need to take me to see a doctor.”

As she spoke, she looked at Qin Chong, “How about you, cousin? Are you feeling better? If you’ve been waiting too long and feel unwell, you can go to the hospital first.”

Qin Chong, hearing Gu Qingcheng’s words, felt like she was mocking him, although he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly she was ridiculing.

He forced a smile and said to Gu Qingcheng, “I’m fine. If you’re okay, let’s go pay our respects. The day is getting hotter, and I’m afraid my old bones can’t handle too much sun.”

Gu Qingcheng agreed, “Okay.”

Huo Sicheng’s gaze remained on the hand Gu Qingcheng was holding.

He then took her delicate, boneless hand in his and, freeing his other hand, pressed the wheelchair button to head towards the grave of Gu Qingchengs mother, Mu Xia.

Gu Qingcheng, nestled in Huo Sicheng’s arms, felt his steady heartbeat and gazed at the hand holding hers.

His hand, flawless like a piece of art, bore only one imperfection—the scar from where she had once bitten him.

To her, the bite mark on Huo Sicheng’s hand seemed like a brand etched into his heart, for he could have easily removed the scar in numerous ways.

She couldn’t help but look up at Huo Sicheng, only to find him looking at her, his eyes bright and affectionate, making her feel as if she was surrounded by stars and moons.

“You…”

Huo Sicheng lowered his voice, “What’s wrong with me?”
