Chapter 56: Do You Really Love Me?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingcheng was about to close the closet door when she heard Huo Xuan’s words.
She raised her hand and touched her face with a complicated expression.
Was her dissatisfaction with Huo Sicheng so obvious that even her son, Huo Xuan, could tell?
However, did Huo Xuan want her to take the initiative with Huo Sicheng?
Her heart ached so much that she could not even breathe.
Because she had taken the initiative toward Huo Sicheng.
Ever since the night she was reborn, she had been taking the initiative.
Her personality was never suitable to be a gentle and virtuous wife. However, she used her own way, taking the initiative and expressing her desire to live with him as his wife.
In the end, Huo Sicheng didn’t cherish her and even slapped her in the face.
He had broken her heart and was no longer worthy of her taking the initiative!
“Baby, I’ll deal with Daddy and myself.” She tried her best to smile at Huo Xuan. “Be good.”
“This one.” Huo Xuan didn’t force Gu Qingcheng. Pointing at a moon-white knee-length skirt, he said, “Daddy has good taste.”
Gu Qingcheng took her own clothes. “No, wear this.”
“Why?” Huo Xuan asked her mother, “Do you hate to wear it because Daddy bought it for you?”
“Uh…” Gu Qingcheng shook her head awkwardly. “No.”
“Since it’s not, then Mom will wear this. “Huo Xuan’s big eyes were filled with anticipation. She said coquettishly, “Trust me, Mom will definitely look very, very beautiful in it.”
“You have a sweet mouth.” Gu Qingcheng couldn’t stand Huo Xuan’s coquettishness, so she had no choice but to compromise. Then, she thought of Huo Sicheng, that blockhead, and muttered, “If your father was half as sweet as you, I wouldn’t be so angry whenever I see him.”
Huo Xuan rolled his eyes and understood.
“Madam, Young Master,” Mr. Zhao said respectfully in the dining room.
Gu Qingcheng was surprised to see Mr. Zhao.
Last night in the study room, she had been so rude, and he was furious as a result.
In that situation, he could have rejected her request, but in the end, he still compromised with her.
Huo Sicheng’s behavior made her feel an indescribable feeling.
Huo Xuan hugged him happily. “Grandpa Zhao, it’s good to see you.”
Mr. Zhao bent down and hugged Huo Xuan dotingly.
Gu Qingcheng saw everything. She knew that Mr. Zhao loved Huo Sicheng and his son very much.
As for Mr. Zhao, he wished that she had never been born.
Huo Xuan drank his milk and asked, “Daddy, aren’t you coming for breakfast?”
“Young Master went to the company.” Mr. Zhao replied lovingly, then looked at Gu Qingcheng.” Thank you.”
Gu Qingcheng knew that Mr. Zhao was thanking her because she had brought him back.
“You’re welcome.
“This villa can’t do without you,” she confessed.
Mr. Zhao was surprised, but he nodded and didn’t deny Gu Qingcheng.
Huo Xuan looked at the screen in front of her and asked in confusion. “Grandpa
Zhao, why do you have to thank Mom?”
“Thank you, Madam, for taking care of Little Master.” Mr. Zhao took the initiative to explain and said to Huo Xuan, “Young Master, finish your eggs.”
While Huo Xuan was eating quietly, Gu Qingcheng took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and gave Mr. Zhao a look.
Outside the restaurant, Gu Qingcheng looked at Mr. Zhao.
“I know you don’t like me, so I don’t expect to reduce your prejudice against me,” she said calmly. “It just so happens that I also need your dislike for me.”
Mr. Zhao’s eyes were guarded. “I’m grateful that you persuaded Young Master to let me come back, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll do anything to let Young Master down for you.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t let you do anything to let Huo Sicheng down.” Gu
Qingcheng looked at Mr. Zhao and told him what she was thinking. “On the contrary, you were very happy to do what I asked you to do.”
Mr. Zhao stared at Gu Qingcheng for a moment before asking, “What do you want me to do?”
“I don’t care what you do to make Huo Sicheng hate me and divorce me,” Gu Qingcheng said without hesitation.
Mr. Zhao was shocked. “Are you serious?”
Gu Qingcheng nodded.
It was true that Mr. Zhao hated Gu Qingcheng, and she knew that they didn’t get along too badly.
It was just that he really did not expect her to take the initiative to ask him to help with the divorce.
“I can’t help you.”
It was Gu Qingcheng’s turn to be surprised. “Why?”
Mr. Zhao was most willing to let her leave Huo Sicheng and Wanmei Villa. She had taken the initiative to give Mr. Zhao a chance. How could Mr. Zhao reject her?
“Looks like you still don’t know why I was chased away by Young Master this time.”
“Why?” Gu Qingcheng asked hurriedly.
Mr. Zhao told Gu Qingcheng everything that had happened.
“I’m sorry, I can’t help you.” He looked Gu Qingcheng in the eye and said meaningfully, “Actually, Miss Ji is really suitable for Young Master. The fact that he was able to bring her to the villa shows that he cares a lot about her. Besides, Miss Ji has been with him for many years. They know each other well, and it was a pity that they couldn’t be together.”
Gu Qingcheng’s heart ached when she heard what Mr. Zhao said.
She knew that she was jealous.
However, Mr. Zhao knew Huo Sicheng the best. He had said that Ji Sisi was very suitable for Huo Sicheng, and Huo Sicheng had even brought her to the villa. He had indeed expressed his love for Ji Sisi.
However, she didn’t hide her love. If she liked him, she liked him. If she was jealous, then she was.
She was jealous because she liked Huo Sicheng.
However, her love couldn’t be compared to Huo Sicheng’s love for Ji Sisi.
She still didn’t understand why Huo Sicheng wouldn’t want a divorce even if she did as he wanted.
However, Mr. Zhao’s words pointed out a clear path for her.
Ji Sisi!
She felt an indescribable sadness in her heart when she was asked to help Ji Sisi and Huo Sicheng.
Feelings came first, and she definitely couldn’t compete with Ji Sisi, who had been by Huo Sicheng’s side for a long time. If she was late, she had to give up her position and give way to Ji Sisi as the mistress of the Huo family.
At that moment, Mr. Zhao was looking at Gu Qingcheng, who was lost in thought. His eyes were filled with anger and conspiracy.
In actual fact, he knew all to well that Young Master Huo Sicheng didn’t like Ji Sisi at all.
After so many years, Huo Sicheng’s love for Gu Qingcheng had never changed.
So, even if he gave the young master another ten years, his love for Gu Qingcheng would never change.
For Gu Qingcheng, the young master had gone against the entire world.
However, he still couldn’t accept that his young master would marry Gu Qingcheng and make her the matriarch of the Huo family.
To him, at least Ji Sisi was a lady, and she would definitely be a good wife after they got married. She would be more suitable for the young master than Gu Qingcheng.
But Gu Qingcheng was different. She was strong-willed, independent, and had her own opinions. She would never be submissive or submissive.
Between Ji Sisi and Gu Qingcheng, he preferred the obedient Ji Sisi over the opinionated Gu Qingcheng.
She had her own motives for bringing him back so that he could help her get a divorce.
He was angry that he was chased away by the young master because of her.
Therefore, he would never tell her that Huo Sicheng and Ji Sisi were innocent.
On the contrary, he deliberately led Gu Qingcheng to start with Ji Sisi and force the young master to divorce her.
He had to help Gu Qingcheng. Only when she divorced the young master could he protect him from her.
Gu Qingcheng thought about it for a while, then looked up at Mr. Zhao, hoping to get an answer from him.
“Mr. Zhao, do you want me to start with Ji Sisi?”
Gu Qingcheng was about to close the closet door when she heard Huo Xuan’s words.
She raised her hand and touched her face with a complicated look in her eyes.
Was her dissatisfaction toward Huo Sicheng so obvious that even Huo Xuan could tell?

In the end, Huo Sicheng hadn’t cherished her and even slapped her in the face. He had broken her heart and was no longer worthy of her taking the initiative!
“Dearest, I’ll deal with Daddy and myself.” She forced a smile. “Be good.”
“You should wear this one.” Huo Xuan didn’t press Gu Qing Cheng further about the matter. Pointing at a moon-white knee-length skirt, he said, “Daddy has good taste.”
Gu Qingcheng took her own clothes. “No, I’ll wear this.”
“Why?” Huo Xuan asked, “Do you hate to wear it because Daddy bought it for you?”
“Uh…” Gu Qingcheng shook her head awkwardly. “No.”
“Since it’s not, then you should wear this.”Huo Xuan’s big eyes were filled with anticipation. He said cheekily, “Trust me, Mommy. You’ll definitely look very, very beautiful in it.”
“You’re so sweet.” Gu Qingcheng couldn’t stand Huo Xuan’s manner, so she had no choice but to compromise. Then, she thought of Huo Sicheng, that blockhead, and muttered, “If your father were half as sweet as you, I wouldn’t be so angry whenever I see him.”
