Qi Shaoze felt the light scratching of Gu Mei’s fingers in the palm of his hand, but he didn’t feel flattered, only disgusted.

He immediately wanted to withdraw his hand, but Gu Mei held it even tighter.

“Brother-in-law…” Gu Mei continued to coo, “I’m talking to you, dear brother-in-law, please respond to me.”

Qi Shaoze felt nauseous, as if he was about to vomit right there.

But he had to acknowledge Gu Mei’s repeated calls of ‘brother-in-law,’ which made him feel elated.

Once he was with Gu Qingcheng, he indeed was Gu Mei’s brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law—he liked this term, as if he was already married to Gu Qingcheng, filled with joy at being her husband.

Gu Mei’s mouth curled up, her eyes full of cunning and scheming.

Playing with men, she dared to claim the top spot, with no one daring to claim second.

Look at Qi Shaoze, no matter how ugly she was, she still managed to cheer him up.

“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, pay attention to me,” she continued to coax Qi Shaoze, “Brother-in-law, brother-in-law…”

Qi Shaoze was so pleased by Gu Mei’s flattery that he didn’t withdraw his hand, letting her hold it.

“Stop calling that.” He was happy inside, but pretended to be indifferent on the surface, “I’m not your brother-in-law, your brother-in-law is Huo Sicheng.”

“No,” Gu Mei shook her head, “I wish you, Qi Shaoze, were my brother-in-law. You have known my sister for many years, you adore her, and you’re a perfect match for her.”

Before Qi Shaoze could speak, she quickly said, “What’s so good about Huo Sicheng? Besides being rich, he has no other commendable qualities. You are better, tall, handsome, and caring.”

Qi Shaoze squinted his peach blossom eyes.

Although he disliked Huo Sicheng, he strongly disapproved of Gu Mei’s words.

Because Huo Sicheng was handsome, tall, rich, and powerful, no man in the entire Jiang City could compare to Huo Sicheng.

People like to hear pleasant words, and he was no exception. Even though he knew Gu Mei was lying, he still enjoyed her compliments.

“Brother-in-law, I’ve asked so many times, just give me a definitive answer.”

Gu Mei pressed him while the iron was hot, “Let’s join forces to get rid of Huo Sicheng, then you can marry my sister Gu Qingcheng, and I can have my revenge.”

Qi Shaoze stared at Gu Mei for a while, then asked her, “What’s your plan?”

“Of course, there’s a plan,” Gu Mei’s eyes twinkled maliciously, “but you have to promise to join forces with me first, otherwise there’s no point in telling you.”

Qi Shaoze narrowed his eyes, looking at Gu Mei for a while before saying, “Fine, I’ll join forces with you against Huo Sicheng.”

Gu Mei had been waiting for these words from Qi Shaoze.

She understood jealousy too well, as she had been envious of Gu Qingcheng since childhood, otherwise she wouldn’t have tried so hard to seduce Qin Jun.

Once jealousy wanted to destroy someone, it would stop at nothing. Now, Qi Shaoze had fallen into the abyss of jealousy towards Huo Sicheng, perfectly exploitable by her.

“Exactly the words I was waiting for, brother-in-law.”

Qi Shaoze said, “Stop dawdling, tell me the plan.”

Gu Mei giggled, stood up, and slowly walked to Qi Shaoze. She gently hooked his chin with her finger, appearing to flirt with him.

She didn’t continue to tease Qi Shaoze but leaned close to his ear to whisper her plan to deal with Huo Sicheng.

Qi Shaoze listened intently to Gu Mei’s plan, his eyes deep and inscrutable.

Meanwhile, Gu Qingcheng was in Huo Sicheng’s car, returning to Wanmei Villa.

She held her phone and dialed Li Jing’s number, which took a while to be answered.

“Master, I won’t be attending the celebration banquet tonight,” she started, “Thank you for your hard work today.”

“It’s not hard, I always handle the school’s matters,” Li Jing responded cheerfully to Gu Qingcheng, then added, “By the way, I heard that Huo has already paid for the banquet hall we booked for the celebration banquet. Please thank him for saving money for Royal Dance’s finance department.”

Upon hearing Li Jing’s words, Gu Qingcheng looked surprised at Huo Sicheng beside her.

He looked at her tenderly, his eyes filled only with her figure, passionate and intense.

“I got it, Master,” she responded to Li Jing, looking at Huo Sicheng, “My husband is rich. Next time Royal Dance has a money-burning event, you might as well go straight to his assistant Chu Yu. You’ll find the money will definitely be there.”

“Haha, you kid,” Li Jing laughed, “Royal Dance isn’t short of money. Alright, I’ll hang up now and get busy.”

Gu Qingcheng lightly poked Huo Sicheng’s chest, “You sneaky man, going off to pay for the celebration banquet. Do you think Royal Dance can’t afford it?”

Huo Sicheng chuckled softly, capturing Gu Qingcheng’s hand and kissing it, “I dare not. I just wanted to save you some money. After all, I want to give you money to spend, but you won’t take it. So I’ll spend where I can.”

Gu Qingcheng glared at him playfully, “So keen to spend money, you can pay the bill when we go grocery shopping later.”

Huo Sicheng doted on her, “Okay..”
