Gu Qingcheng put down the coffee cup in her hand, exuding an air of elegance and nobility.
âDid I not make myself clear enough?â Her eyes were bright and clear, as if there was no scheming in them. She said to Yuan Qiaolan word by word, âNo wonder Chu He didnât take you seriously because youâre not worthy of being her opponent. After all, you donât even know how much 800 billion is.â
Yuan Qiaolan slammed the table angrily. âGu Qingcheng, youâre asking for it! How dare you mock me!â
âDid I say something wrong?â Gu Qingcheng smiled faintly, her voice soft but sharp. âBig Sister Yuan, thatâs 800 billion. Even if you send beggars away and give them cash one by one, itâll take more than a month.â
Yuan Qiaolan picked up the coffee in front of her and threw it at Gu Qingchengâs face.
âWhoâs a beggar? Who the hell are you calling a beggar from the Heavenly
State?!â
Gu Qingcheng turned her head and avoided the cup of coffee.
âSister Yuan, please calm down. Iâm just making an analogy, not saying that youâre a beggar.â She smiled sweetly. âI told you not to be angry. Otherwise, your beauty will be wasted. Two months. Iâll definitely give you two months. Iâll keep my word.â
Yuan Qiaolanâs lungs were about to explode from anger.
She was the one who had threatened Gu Qingcheng, but now she was being threatened by Gu Qingcheng!
That damned Gu Qingcheng!
For the sake of 800 billion yuan, she had to bear with it. There was still a long time left, and she had plenty of ways to torture Gu Qingcheng!
She quickly raised her hand to caress her face, comforting herself not to be angry, lest she get wrinkles.
âAlright, two months.â She replied angrily. âCome to my house for dinner tonight,â she added, âMy son still doesnât know about what happened between the two of us. Iâm not discussing with you, Iâm ordering you!â
Gu Qingcheng smiled.
Orders?
No one could order her around!
Even Huo Sicheng couldnât order her around!
Therefore, Yuan Qiaolan was nothing.
She took out her phone and dialed a number. She pressed the speaker button and said gently, âAh Feng, have you arrived at the company?â
On the other end of the phone, Yuan Feng clearly hadnât expected Gu Qingcheng to call him. He couldnât hide the joy in his voice.
âIâm already at the company. Are you still with my mother?â
Gu Qingcheng glanced at Yuan Qiaolan and said, âYes, Iâm still drinking coffee with Auntie. â
Yuan Qiaolan widened her eyes and said angrily in a low voice, âWhat are you doing?â
Gu Qingcheng ignored Yuan Qiaolan and asked Yuan Feng gently, âIâm going to have lunch with my family at the Gu residence today. Why donât I not have dinner at your house tonight?â
Yuan Feng was shocked. âReturn⦠The Gu family? You want me to have dinner with you at the Gu residence? Really? Should I prepare a gift for them?â
Yuan Qiaolan was shocked. Gu Qingcheng wanted her son, Yuan Feng, to go to the Gu family?
Panicking, she snatched Gu Qingchengâs phone away and hung up. âGu
Qingcheng, what do you mean?â
Gu Qingcheng looked at Yuan Qiaolan innocently. âSister Yuan, didnât you hear me? I want to bring Ah Feng back to the Gu family for lunch.â
Yuan Qiaolanâs face was cold. She was so angry that she wanted to hit Gu Qingcheng.
She couldnât push her son, Yuan Feng, into the Gu familyâs fire pit. If Chu He saw her son appear, she would definitely think that she was doing everything she could to win Gu Qingcheng over. At that time, Chu He would definitely think of a way to deal with her.
âItâs just a meal. Weâll eat together next time.â Her voice was cold. âCome to my house for dinner another day. Ah Feng has a lot of things to do today, and I have to go to the beauty salon too. I donât have time to go home for dinner.â
Gu Qingcheng looked at Yuan Qiaolan, her face turning green and white. She smiled brightly.
She had plenty of ways to deal with Yuan Qiaolan.
Since Yuan Qiaolan was looking for a way out, she naturally had to give Yuan Qiaolan face.
âSince Sister Yuan said so, we can only do it next time.â She stood up and said considerately. âI want to go back to the Gu family for dinner. Letâs meet Sister
Yuan another day.â
Yuan Qiaolan snorted coldly and turned her head to ignore Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingchengâs face made her angry. She had been mocked by Gu Qingcheng all day.
All of a sudden, she recalled the scene of Chu He torturing Gu Qingcheng.
Chu He had tortured Gu Qingcheng so cruelly, but Gu Qingcheng was willing to endure the pain and didnât even admit defeat. It was obvious how strong Gu Qingcheng was.
She had to find a way to control Gu Qingcheng as soon as possible.
Gu Qingcheng wasnât annoyed by Yuan Qiaolanâs disregard for her, and she enjoyed slapping Yuan Qiaolan in the face.
She left the cafe and sat in the car. She checked the time, and it was already 11 pm. She should return to the Gu family; otherwise, Chu He would call and scold her.
In the next moment, she started the car and headed to the Gu residence.
On the way, she called Huo Siqianâs phone, but he picked up immediately.
âWhy did you answer the phone so quickly?â she asked Huo Sicheng in surprise.
âArenât you busy with work?â
Far away at the Huo Corporation, Si Cheng heard Gu Qingchengâs voice, and his lips curled into a smile. He was in a good mood.
Chu Yu, who was standing in front of the large desk, glanced at the pile of documents on the table. The corners of his mouth twitched.
How could President Huo have finished his work? There were still so many things that he hadnât dealt with.
Besides, what did he mean by just in time to pick up the phone?
Mr. Huo seemed to be focused on his work in the morning. He would check his phone from time to time. He was familiar with Mr. Huoâs focus when he was busy with work. He knew that Mr. Huo had been waiting for his wife, Gu Qingcheng, to call.
When Gu Qingchengâs phone rang, Mr. Huo didnât even have time to put down the documents in his hand. He answered the phone first and even looked happy. It was obvious that Mr. Huo had been waiting for Gu Qingchengâs call for a long time.
Hearing Huo Chengâs deep and magnetic voice, Gu Qingcheng smiled gently and said, âItâs noon. No matter how busy you are, you have to put down your work and eat first.â
âAlright,â Huo Sicheng said gently.
âThatâs good.â Gu Qingcheng chuckled. âIâll be home early when Iâm done. Iâll make dinner for you and Xuan âer.â
Huo Sichengâs eyes flashed when he heard the words âGu Guâ.
âWhere are you?â
âIâm driving to the Gu family. Whatâs wrong?â Gu Qingcheng asked.
Huo Sicheng had already pressed the button for the wheelchair to go to the door. âPull the car to the side of the road. Gu Qingcheng was shocked. âWhy?â
Huo Sicheng didnât say anything.
Gu Qingcheng didnât understand what Huo Sicheng meant by that, but she still parked her car by the roadside.
âDo you have something to tell me? Or what?â
âIâm fine,â Huo Sicheng replied.
Gu Qingcheng was stunned. âNothing? Why did you ask me to park the car by the roadside?â
Huo Sicheng didnât answer Gu Qingcheng. Instead, he asked her,
âIt stopped,â Gu Qingcheng replied.
Huo Sicheng did not say anything.
Gu Qingcheng waited for a long time, but Huo Sicheng didnât say anything.
She looked at her phone. The call was not cut off. It was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she was a little confused.
After a while, Huo Sicheng said in a low voice, âOpen the door.â
Gu Qingcheng had just checked the time. It was almost midnight, and she was in a hurry.
Just as she was about to tell Huo Sicheng to hang up and drive to the Gu residence, she heard his pleasant voice.
However, his words made her feel baffled.
âOpen the door?â âWhat door?â she asked Huo Sicheng in shock..â
