Gu Tianhao stared at Chu He with his eyes.

He seemed to want to speak, but his cracked lips moved without making a sound, his eyes fixed on Chu He, who was staring at him intently.

Chu He had already walked to the bedside, her eyes wide as she stared at Gu Tianhao.

“Do you really want to see Gu Qingcheng that much?” she asked Gu Tianhao again, “Tell me, do you really want to see her?”

As she finished speaking, she clearly saw panic in Gu Tianhao’s eyes. He looked away, seemingly searching for a doctor.

She suddenly felt like laughing. It turned out that even Gu Tianhao could panic.

He must be afraid that she would kill him.

Even if it wasn’t her who pushed Gu Tianhao, now that he was awake, he would definitely think it was her, to avoid signing the divorce papers.

That’s what Gu Qingcheng would think, and Gu Tianhao would think the same of her.

She was taking the blame for Gu Mei, but she was willing to do so, because Gu Tianhao deserved to die!

But if she didn’t admit to pushing Gu Tianhao, he couldn’t do anything to her.

She slowly sat down on a chair beside the bed and looked at Gu Tianhao, “The doctor said you were awake and contacted me first, so I came to see you.”

Upon hearing Chu He’s words, Gu Tianhao’s gaze, which had been averted, locked onto her.

Chu He really wanted to kill Gu Tianhao.

But she knew Gu Tianhao couldn’t die. If he died, Gu Qingcheng would immediately torture her and her daughter Gu Mei mercilessly.

Gu Tianhao had to live, but his only use to her now was to make a will.

Once he made the will, appointing her as the chairman of Gu Corporation, then he could die completely.

“You’re too careless,” she pretended to be concerned, “How could you fall down from the building just like that? Since you fell and became unconscious, Gu Corporation has already fallen into Gu Qingcheng’s hands. She is now the chairman of the board, and everyone obeys her.”

Gu Tianhao’s eyes widened in shock, his pale, weak face showing disbelief at the thought of Gu Qingcheng taking over his corporation.

“Don’t worry, I promised to divorce you,” Chu He feigned sorrow and squeezed out tears, gazing tearfully at Gu Tianhao, “I’ve already signed the divorce agreement. After you recover, we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to formalize the divorce. I’ve been looking at rental houses these past few days. I’ll move out with our daughter Xiao Mei. But don’t worry, a day as husband and wife means a lifetime of grace. You’re seriously injured now, so I’ll come to the hospital to take care of you every day.”

After a pause, she added, “But the time I spend taking care of you won’t be fixed, because I’m penniless now. I need money for rent and Xiao Mei’s medical treatment, so I need to find a job. At my age, with my faded beauty, there aren’t many jobs available. I’ll probably end up sweeping the streets or working as a sanitation worker.”

“Don’t worry, Tianhao. Once I find a job sweeping the streets or cleaning toilets, I’ll have a stable job, and then I can set a fixed time to take care of you.” “The doctor said your injuries are very severe. You’ll need to lie in bed for at least half a year or a year. I’ll wash your body and take care of you until you recover, and then our marriage will be completely over.”

“Tianhao, I love you, I really, really love you…” Chu He cried harder and harder, sobbing with love for Gu Tianhao, “I love you so much, really love you…” Love?

She did indeed love Gu Tianhao, but she loved Gu Corporation and their lives more.

She knew Gu Tianhao’s personality well. First, she told him that Gu Qingcheng had taken over the corporation while he was unconscious, and then she cried pitifully to make him pity her.

Gu Corporation was Gu Tianhao’s life’s work. Hearing that Gu Qingcheng had taken it over, he would definitely hate Gu Qingcheng deeply.

Then, by crying pitifully, she would arouse his pity for her. If he wasn’t stupid, he definitely wouldn’t divorce her.

After all, he was severely injured, and aside from her, he had no one close to him.

She had to cry, cry as hard as she could.

A woman’s greatest weapon is her tears, especially when crying in front of a man.

Gu Qingcheng was stubborn and wouldn’t cry no matter how wronged or pained she was.

But she was not stupid. She would cry, cry in front of Gu Tianhao, crying about loving him, making his heart completely hers.

Then, she would trick Gu Tianhao into making a will, and this time she would completely defeat Gu Qingcheng.

She imagined Gu Qingcheng being furious and powerless against her, and it made her feel very good.

“Tianhao, take care of yourself when I’m not here…”

Gu Tianhao watched Chu He crying pitifully, saying she loved him, and his eyes showed pity for her.

Chu He saw this look in Gu Tianhao’s eyes and cried even harder, appearing as fragile as if she would break with a light touch.

“Tianhao, the doctor said you wanted to see Qingcheng. I’ve already contacted her,” she sobbed to Gu Tianhao, “I told her you wanted to see her, and she immediately hung up the phone. She must be on her way here now. You’re weak, so you can rest first. I’ll wake you up when she arrives.”

Gu Tianhao looked at Chu He, so understanding and considerate, and his gaze became even more affectionate.

“Xiao He…”

Chu He first pretended to be shocked, then tenderly and considerately responded, “I’m here, husband. What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable? I’ll find a doctor for you.”

“Don’t look for a doctor,” Gu Tianhao endured the unbearable pain and spoke weakly, “Don’t cry anymore. I’m sorry, I hurt you. Even though we’re divorcing, you’re still by my side taking care of me. I feel guilty towards you.”

“Tianhao, don’t say that,” Chu He hurriedly shook her head, feigning understanding, “I’m your woman, and I’ve always obeyed you. You want to divorce me, and even though it’s hard for me, I know it must be my fault. You don’t need to feel guilty. It’s all my fault. I didn’t serve you well. I failed as a stepmother, didn’t appease Qingcheng, and let her pressure you so much. It’s all my fault. Don’t blame yourself, or I’ll feel heartbroken and suffer.”

Gu Tianhao felt even more guilty and pity for her, believing she was so kind-hearted to think it was her fault that led to their divorce.

But compared to pitying Chu He, he was more eager to know how his corporation ended up in Gu Qingcheng’s hands.

“Xiao He, tell me about the corporation.”

For Chu He, the best thing she could hear today was Gu Tianhao asking her about the Gu Corporation.

“This…” she pretended to be nervous and uneasy, “I… I don’t dare to say it. I’ve already divorced you, and I want to live. You should wait for Qingcheng to come and ask her about the corporation.”

She had never contacted Gu Qingcheng, so Gu Tianhao couldn’t wait for her.

If Gu Tianhao couldn’t wait for Gu Qingcheng, he would definitely hate her not only for taking the corporation but also for disregarding him. He would be angry and hate Gu Qingcheng.

Her ploy was enough to make Gu Tianhao hate Gu Qingcheng thoroughly.

Seeing Chu He’s panic and fear, Gu Tianhao’s eyes showed a fierce light as he commanded, “Don’t wait for Qingcheng, tell me how she became the chairman of the Gu Corporation.”

Chu He pretended to be frightened and pleaded with Gu Tianhao, “Husband, I’m scared. Don’t ask me anymore. Wait for Qingcheng to come and ask her.”

Gu Tianhao’s gaze turned vicious as he stared at Chu He, “You’re afraid Gu

Qingcheng will kill you, but aren’t you afraid of me?”
