Chu He ignored Qi Shaoze and walked straight to the door.
Qi Shaoze, with a fierce look in his peach-blossom eyes, quickly followed her to the door.
As Chu He opened the door, Qi Shaoze quickly closed it with a swift motion.
Chu He his eyes piercing like knives, he asked her sharply, What are you planning to do?
Chu He, seeing the door closed by Qi Shaoze, smirked mockingly.
She looked up into Qi Shaozes grey eyes.
It was undeniable that Qi Shaoze, a mixed-race individual, was very handsome and came from a good background. It was an honor for Gu Mei to fancy him, and she liked having such a powerful son-in-law.
However, Qi Shaozes selfishness displeased her. Staring into his eyes, she coldly sneered, asking word by word, Are you afraid Ill go to Gu Qingcheng and reveal our alliance?
Qi Shaozes eyes turned icy to the extreme. Chu Hes words felt like a knife at his throat, suffocating and frightening him.
He couldnt let Gu Qingcheng know about his involvement, even though Gu Mei had assured him she wouldnt reveal his presence to anyone.
Yet today, he found Chu He here, which meant Gu Mei had broken her promise of not disclosing his existence, making him extremely nervous about Gu Mei being threatened by Gu Qingcheng into revealing his name.
If Gu Qingcheng found out about him, all his efforts would be in vain.
Given Gu Qingchengs temperament, she would never let him off.
At the moment, Gu Mei must keep silent about Gu Qingcheng!
Seeing Qi Shaozes changing expression and silence, Chu Hes face was full of sarcasm.
Qi Shaoze, dont worry, Im planning to see Gu Qingcheng, she mocked, staring at him, But rest assured, I wont reveal your existence to Gu Qingcheng. Ill take all the blame to protect you and Xiao Mei.
Before Qi Shaoze could speak, she added, What you need to do now is leave here quickly. Otherwise, if Gu Qingcheng sees you after Ive calmed her down, then dont blame us for betraying you. In fact, it would be you who betrayed us. If we die, well drag someone down with us, and you certainly dont want to be that person, do you?
Qi Shaoze was relieved to hear Chu He was willing to take the blame for kidnapping Gu Qingcheng.
But Chu Hes sudden mention of dragging him down with them ignited his fury.
Chu He, fearless, mockingly said, What are you waiting for, Young Master Qi? Why not sneak out through the back door? Do you really want Gu Qingcheng to catch you red-handed?
Qi Shaozes forehead veins bulged, wanting to deal harshly with Chu He.
Except for Gu Qingcheng, no one dared to insult him so blatantly. But under the current circumstances, he couldnt deal with Chu He; without her, no one could calm Gu Qingcheng.
He endured Chu Hes mockery, raised his hand to open the door, and prepared to leave.
Young Master Qi, remember, you owe us mother and daughter today, Chu He spoke appropriately as Qi Shaoze was about to leave, In the future, youd better treat my daughter well and trust us more. If our boat sinks, its bad for everyone. I hope Young Master Qi understands the situation and doesnt make a small mistake that leads to a bigger loss.
Qi Shaozes steps froze, his gaze cold and displeased as he glanced at Chu He.
Chu He, dont go too far.
Me, going too far? Chu He snorted coldly, When you insulted my daughter, why didnt you think you were going too far?
Qi Shaoze immediately understood Chu Hes sarcasm was in defense of Gu Mei.
He didnt care about Chu He at all; his only concern was Gu Qingcheng.
He was relieved to know Gu Qingcheng was unharmed; now, the most important thing was to protect himself.
You think taking the blame will threaten me? he closed the half-open door, his eyes full of coldness, Dont think I dont know about your issues with Qingcheng. You were already crushed by Gu Qingcheng, left with nothing. Your daughter Gu Mei approached me because you both were desperate.
Chu He was startled, her eyes involuntarily shifting to the closed door.
In your desperate situation, I helped you both. You deserve to be humiliated by me, yet you dare to use this incident to threaten me. I wont give you a chance, Qi Shaoze said arrogantly, sitting on the sofa with a hint of ruffianism, In this world, besides Gu Qingcheng, no one can threaten me. You and your daughter are not in a position to negotiate with me!
Chu He intended to stand up for Gu Mei but was caught off guard by Qi Shaozes retort, leaving her flustered.
She had thought Qi Shaoze was afraid of being discovered by Gu Qingcheng, but now, with Qi Shaoze sitting down and clearly not planning to leave, he was risking being discovered.
His behavior was like a broken jar, breaking further. If his good relationship with Gu Qingcheng was ruined, then she and her daughter would lose their only source of help. Qi Shaoze would also resent her for her unguarded threats today.
The days ahead would hold no good for her.
NO!
She couldnt let her words ruin Gu Meis plans.
At that moment, she regretted her talkativeness and knew she had to lower her head to Qi Shaoze to get through this crisis.
Young Master Qi she switched to a flattering tone, hastily approaching him, Dont be angry, I was wrong earlier. It was my fault for speaking out of turn. Please, dont be upset, leave this to me. Ill protect Young Master Qi, and well cooperate well in the future.
Qi Shaoze looked at the hypocritical Chu He in front of him and coldly smiled, Wrong? How could you, Mrs. Gu, ever be wrong? Youre not wrong, and youre not vile. Rest assured, Im not leaving. Ill sit right here and wait for Gu
Qingcheng to come to me.
Chu Hes flattering expression froze on her face.
Her mind was in turmoil, fearing the loss of Qi Shaoze.
Endure.
If her daughter Gu Mei could endure, so could she.
Surviving now meant a chance for revenge later. First, kill Huo Sicheng, then Gu Qingcheng, and eventually Qi Shaoze must die!
Young Master Qi, I was wrong, please forgive me, she said in a panic, lightly patting her face as if slapping herself, Young Master Qi, please be magnanimous and forgive me.
Qi Shaoze looked at her coldly, I can forgive you.
Chu He immediately saw an opportunity and eagerly asked, Young Master Qi, tell me, what can I do to make amends?
Qi Shaozes gaze remained sharp and cold, saying nothing.
Chu He, anxious, feared Gu Qingcheng would harm Gu Mei. After all, Gu Qingcheng could resort to any vicious means, and she couldnt let Gu Mei suffer any more harm.
Of course, she also feared the reckless Qi Shaoze causing further trouble.
Young Master Qi, please speak, she urged Qi Shaoze again, I know I was wrong, and I wont make you angry again with inappropriate words.. Please, tell me what I can do to appease you?
