Qin Chong looked at Huo Sicheng.
Huo Sichengâs expression remained calm, as if what he had just said was a casual remark.
This calmness only intensified the sense of mockery and humiliation that Qin Chong felt.
Not only had he been humiliated by Huo Sicheng, who was eager to protect his wife, but he had also been figuratively slapped in the face.
His anger became uncontrollable, and his body couldnât bear the strain. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted at the dining table.
âDadâ¦â Frightened, Qin Jun rushed forward and shouted, âQuickly call 120!â
Gu Tianhao hadnât anticipated this turn of events and remained stunned for a while.
Chu He reacted quickly, calling for an ambulance and simultaneously retrieving a heart-saving pill from Qin Chongâs pocket, which she administered to him.
âUncle, this is too much!â Qin Jun glared at Huo Sicheng. âMy dad is your cousin. How can you insult him like this?â
âInsult? Iâm merely explaining to your father that a woman without talent is virtuous, and a man with virtue is talented,â Huo Sichengâs expression remained calm. His thin lips parted slightly, his voice low and sharp. âYouâre the one insulting your father by interpreting my words that way. In your mind, your father is indeed uneducated, illiterate, and untalented.â
Qin Jun found himself speechless in the face of Huo Sichengâs words. After hearing Huo Sichengâs explanation, he reluctantly admitted that his father, Qin Chong, lacked refinement.
However, his real grievance lay with Huo Sicheng for defending Gu Qingcheng so passionately. In Qin Junâs view, women should be subservient to men and men and not pursue their own careers or thoughts.
Ironically, Qin Junâs attempt to blame Huo Sicheng backfired on him.
Gu Qingcheng noticed that Huo Sicheng seemed to be more talkative when she was present, even willing to criticize himself. She had witnessed him do so before, but never to the extent of confronting Qin Chong, Qin Jun, and the others.
Today, his eloquence left Qin Chong and his son utterly speechless. Seeing her enemies stumble like this gave her a sense of satisfaction and delight.
She offered a mocking smile to Qin Jun, who had been figuratively slapped by Huo Sicheng, and said, âEven if you keep silent and appear foolish, itâs better than confirming that you are indeed a fool.â
Qin Junâs face, already bruised by Huo Sichengâs words, now paled further as he endured Gu Qingchengâs taunts.
Gu Tianhao furrowed his brows.
Both Huo Sicheng and Ji Sisi had made headlines for attempting to make Gu Qingcheng a cuckold, while Gu Qingcheng and Qi Shaoze had also gained attention for trying to make Huo Sicheng a cuckold.
Despite the publicâs perception, Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng hadnât divorced yet. Rumor had it that they quarreled incessantly after getting married. However, today, they seemed rather harmonious. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Qingcheng had been humiliated by Qin Chong, and Huo Sicheng had immediately defended her by rebuffing Qin Chong and his son.
Gu Tianhao was taken aback by the coupleâs united front, which essentially amounted to slapping his own face.
Given the situation, he felt compelled to intervene.
âSi Cheng, regardless of the circumstances, it was inappropriate to make your cousin faint from anger,â he looked at Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng. âI think we should reconcile as a family. We ought to get along, not fight. When your cousin wakes up, you should comfort him. He didnât mean what he said earlier. Donât be so petty. You..
Gu Qingcheng couldnât tolerate Gu Tianhaoâs irrational logic.
âMy husband did nothing wrong. Why should he apologize to Qin Chong?â She regarded Gu Tianhao with a cold gaze. âItâs you and Qin Chong whoâve reconciled. My husband and I havenât agreed to anything! Moreover, you claim that Qin Chongâs offensive remarks about women were unintentional. Indeed, they were not. He deliberately demeaned women!â
âYou accused my husband of being overly fussy. What was he being fussy about? Why did his thoughtful explanation turn into a fuss when confronting an illiterate?â Without waiting for Gu Tianhao to respond, she continued, âYou should be grateful that my husband stepped in to explain. If it were me, Iâd have slapped him! Donât tell me heâs an elder; heâs my cousin! No sane person would argue that women are mere appendages to men!â
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She resented that not only did Qin Chong hold such a view, but Gu Tianhao also seemed to share it. âScolding you for demeaning women isnât my goal,â she sneered. âI want to make it clear that my husband did nothing wrong. He explained his standpoint. If you have a problem with that, then so be it. But donât forget that men and women are equals in this world!â
Gu Mei, who arrived in a wheelchair, applauded, saying, âWell said, my dear sister! Very well said!â
Gu Qingcheng, upon seeing Gu Mei, could only muster disgust and hatred.
âNo matter how well I say it, it doesnât concern you,â she retorted coldly.
Gu Mei, meeting Gu Qingchengâs gaze with malice, felt that Gu Qingcheng was right. But that didnât mean she didnât harbor hatred for her.
âHow can it not concern me?â She moved a few steps closer to Gu Qingcheng.
âYou and I are sisters, both women. Youâre absolutely correct. Dad and Uncle Qin do hold a low opinion of women. Men often harm women in this world, and men deserve to suffer.â
âStop sowing discord between genders here,â Gu Qingcheng countered. âThose who sow discord are either ignorant or malevolent. You are both ignorant and malevolent. Men and women are equals in this world!â
âMen and women are never equal,â Gu Mei retorted heatedly. âYou talk about equality, but why are men the ones primarily in business? Why do men pursue women in relationships, and not the other way around?â
