Chapter 378: Acting Coquettishly and Seducing Him
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qi Shaoze’s gaze was fixed on Gu Mei’s hands.
He noticed that Gu Mei wore a mask to cover her face and even her clothes were tightly wrapped around her body, but she overlooked the most important part.
Her hands!
Gu Mei’s fingers were blue and swollen, extremely ugly, revealing that her dressing was to hide her defects.
“Why do you hate Huo Sicheng?” he asked Gu Mei, “Why should I join you to kill Huo Sicheng?”
As he spoke, he hinted at Gu Mei, “Huo Sicheng is your sister Gu Qingcheng’s husband. By killing Huo Sicheng, do you want to make your sister a widow?”
Upon hearing Qi Shaoze’s words, Gu Mei, who seemed about to remove her mask, slowly lowered her hand.
Because she noticed Qi Shaoze staring at her hands, she realized that she had been in such a hurry that she forgot to wear gloves even though she wore the mask.
Since it was like this, she didn’t need to remove her mask. Instead, she extended her hands towards Qi Shaoze.
“See my hands?” she stared at Qi Shaoze, “My hands used to be the most beautiful in the world, but Huo Sicheng ruined them, that’s why I hate him.”
Not wanting to be disliked by Qi Shaoze and not mentioning her ruined face, she flirtatiously said, “But don’t worry, I’m undergoing treatment and will soon recover, regaining my beauty as the number one beauty of Jiang City.” Qi Shaoze:
He knew Gu Mei was shameless, but he didn’t expect her to be so thick-skinned as to claim herself the number one beauty of Jiang City.
The number one beauty of Jiang City, in his heart, was only—Gu Qingcheng.
Thinking of Gu Qingcheng’s smile made his heart ache, jealousy surged, and he hated Huo Sicheng even more for taking Gu Qingcheng away.
Seeing Qi Shaoze’s unclear expression, Gu Mei continued to flirt, hinting at him, “Young Master Qi, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to make my sister a widow. I just think Huo Sicheng doesn’t deserve my sister. A lady as outstanding as my sister deserves a better man.”
Qi Shaoze didn’t respond to Gu Mei, but he heard her implying that he was the right match for Gu Qingcheng.
Then, he coldly said, “Gu Mei, take off the mask on your face.”
Gu Mei, who had been flirtatiously trying to seduce Qi Shaoze, was annoyed by his indifference and didn’t want to show her face.
She would show her face to Qi Shaoze only after her treatment was complete, not now in her ugly state.
Once she was healed, with her beauty, she believed Qi Shaoze would fall in love with her at first sight, and then she could play with him as she liked.
But if she didn’t remove the mask and Qi Shaoze left, she would lose the chance to join forces with him.
Qi Shaoze sitting here today was the result of her shameless efforts, blocking him at Xingmeng, sending people to intercept him, all to make him pay attention to her. She couldn’t lose this hard-won opportunity.
Taking a deep breath, she removed her mask, revealing a face full of red rashes and ugliness.
“Young Master Qi, are you satisfied now?” she asked calmly, masking her displeasure, “This is how I look now, harmed by Huo Sicheng.”
Qi Shaoze, seeing Gu Mei’s horrifying face, was stunned, not expecting her to be this ugly.
“The ugly love to cause trouble” this phrase suddenly appeared in his mind, describing Gu Mei as ugly and troublesome.
He originally had hopes for Ji Sisi, expecting her to break up Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng, but Ji Sisi turned out to be useless and couldn’t even meet Huo Sicheng.
Since Ji Sisi was unreliable, he had to think of a new plan, and Gu Mei’s timely appearance gave him a new opportunity to deal with Huo Sicheng.
Gu Mei and Gu Qingcheng never got along, mainly because Gu Mei was the second young lady of the Gu family. She could use her Gu family identity to get close to Huo Sicheng, otherwise, he wouldn’t have contacted Gu Mei.
Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng were so affectionate now that whether it was Gu Mei or Ji Sisi, any attempt to seduce or confront Huo Sicheng would hurt Gu Qingcheng, something he had already anticipated.
As long as Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng broke up, and she returned to his side, he could only ask Gu Qingcheng to temporarily endure the pain.
When Gu Qingcheng lot Huo Sicheng and was in pain, he’d be right by her side, never leaving her.
He believed that his company would be noticed by Gu Qingcheng, and eventually, he would win her heart, and she would forget her sworn enemy Huo Sicheng, and accept him again.
Yes, he was very confident in himself.
“Satisfied,” he replied emotionlessly to Gu Mei, “Why did Huo Sicheng do this to you?”
A vicious look appeared in Gu Mei’s eyes, and she did not hide it from Qi Shaoze, as him meeting her, the enemy of Gu Qingcheng, today showed that Qi Shaoze was willing to join forces with her.
“Because I hurt my sister Gu Qingcheng, Huo Sicheng, in his eagerness to pamper his wife, taught me a lesson for Gu Qingcheng’s sake, turning me into this. That’s why I hate Huo Sicheng. I’m asking you now, are you willing to join
me in killing Huo Sicheng?”
After saying this, she added, “Don’t worry, my target is Huo Sicheng, not Gu Qingcheng. Or we can both deal with Huo Sicheng, and you can take care of Gu Qingcheng.”
Qi Shaoze clearly saw the hatred in Gu Mei’s eyes when she mentioned Huo Sicheng.
It seemed that Gu Mei indeed despised that man.
“I just said, Huo Sicheng is not worthy of Gu Qingcheng. A girl as outstanding as Gu Qingcheng from a wealthy family is more suited to a high-quality man like Young Master Qi.”
Qi Shaoze’s peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, “I like this statement.”
Yes, he really liked Gu Mei saying Gu Qingcheng suited him. In his view, he also suited Gu Qingcheng.
He had suppressed his feelings for Gu Qingcheng for six years, being by her side, only for Huo Sicheng to suddenly swoop in and steal her away.
It was bad enough that Huo Sicheng snatched Gu Qingcheng away, but he couldn’t even call Gu Qingcheng ‘baby’. He couldn’t accept losing Gu
Qingcheng, nor could he bear to see Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng so in love.
Gu Mei laughed, looking even uglier than usual.
But she knew she looked ugly now, so she promptly put on a mask, not giving Qi Shaoze any chance to react, and grabbed his hand on the table.
“Brother Shaoze, I can make your wish come true.” She flirted with him, her eyes sultry, and gently slid her foot up his leg under the table. Touching Qi Shaoze’s palm, she tried every trick to seduce him, “As long as you help me take care of Huo Sicheng, afterwards, my sister Gu Qingcheng will be your woman, and I’ll even call you brother-in-law.”
Qi Shaoze felt the warmth of Gu Mei’s hand, watching and listening to her flirt, and his stomach churned in disgust, as if he was about to throw up.
Gu Mei was both ugly and flirtatious!
“Brother-in-law,” Gu Mei knew about Qi Shaoze’s liking for Gu Qingcheng, so she deliberately cooed the nickname she knew he’d like, “Brother-in-law, my dear brother-in-law, I’m talking to you, why aren’t you paying attention to me?”
