Chapter 198 - 198: Touching Her

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Gu Mei, who was lying on the bed, saw her father, Gu Tianhao, suddenly appear in her boudoir, she was so scared that she trembled.

The viciousness in her eyes was replaced by fear.

“Dad…You… Why did you enter my room…”

Gu Tianhao didn’t care that Gu Mei didn’t answer his question. Instead, he glanced at Gu Mei’s room.

The place was resplendent and decorated with luxurious jewelry, making it look like a jewelry exhibition.

He glanced around the room and suddenly thought of Gu Qingcheng’s simple boudoir. Compared to this place, it looked fresh and elegant.

Thinking of how miserable Gu Qingcheng had been, he felt pity for her.

But then he thought of how Gu Qingcheng had fought back in front of him, neither servile nor overbearing, and his eyes were filled with disgust. He thought about what Gu Qingcheng had said to him at the Sichuan restaurant again, and his face darkened.

At that moment, he had cleared his mind of Gu Qingcheng’s appearance.

Looking at Gu Mei, who was stuttering in shock, he walked over to the sofa and sat down, pouring himself a glass of water.

“I’m the owner of the Gu family. I can go wherever I want. Do I have to ask you when I come to your room?”

“You don’t need to ask me.” Gu Mei tried her best to calm down and pretended to be relaxed. “Dad, my stomach hurts during my period. I can’t get up from bed. Is there something wrong?”

Gu Tianhao took a sip of water and asked casually, “Can’t I come to you for nothing?”

Gu Mei’s expression was stiff as she quickly smiled and said, “Of course I can. Her daughter loved her father the most. She was very happy that her father could visit her.

Gu Tianhao put down his cup and asked Gu Mei, “Are you really happy?

Gu Mei and her father, Gu Tianhao, looked at each other. The look in his eyes was as sharp as a knife, making her tremble in fear.

“Happy? Of course I’m happy.” She revealed a gentle smile and coaxed her father in a coquettish voice. “Dad, you have to believe me. I love you very much.

Every word I say to you comes from the bottom of my heart.”

“Sincerity? Is that so?” Gu Tianhao laughed coldly. “Since you say you’re sincere, let me ask you this. Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng were invited to lunch a few days ago. Why did you tamper with the lunch? Why did you throw the plate?”

Gu Mei’s face stiffened. She pretended to look at Gu Tianhao in confusion.

“Dad, what are you talking about? What do you mean by I tampered with the food? What do you mean by I’m throwing plates? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Gu Tianhao’s expression turned cold when he heard Gu Mei’s words.

“I’ll give you a chance to tell the truth!”

Gu Mei felt the pressure from her father, Gu Tianhao, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Impossible!

She hadn’t even told her mother, Chu He, about the foie gras she had put on the plate. Even though she had been abused by Gu Qingcheng, she obviously wouldn’t tell Gu Tianhao about what had happened at the dinner table that day.

Otherwise, Gu Tianhao would have come to settle the score with her long ago. He would not have waited until today.

Besides, if Gu Tianhao really knew that she was plotting against Huo Sicheng, his mother, Chu He, would also know immediately and defend herself.

What was the problem?

She thought that her father might be lying to her. As long as she didn’t admit it, Gu Tianhao couldn’t do anything to her.

“Dad, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She pretended to look innocent and confused. “The food was cooked by the chef at home that day. If there was a problem with the food, you could have asked the chef. Why did you ask me? Besides, I was wronged for breaking a plate at the dining table. I didn’t notice that I was accidentally pushed to the ground by my elbow. I didn’t mean to disturb everyone’s meal.”

As she spoke, she squeezed out two drops of tears and cried pitifully. “Dad, what’s wrong with you today? Seeing your daughter being so fierce for no reason, your daughter loves you the most, is the most obedient, and is the most filial. Don’t listen to other people’s gossip and misunderstand me.”

When Gu Tianhao heard Gu Mei’s words, he picked up the glass of water on the table and walked to her bed. He raised his hand and poured a glass of water on her face.

“Ah…” Gu Mei exclaimed and quickly raised her hand to wipe the water off her face. “Dad, why did you splash water on me!!!”

Gu Tianhao gave Gu Mei a tight slap.

In the next moment, he lifted the thin swan blanket covering Gu Mei, revealing Gu Mei’s body in a sexy short skirt. Her exposed arms and legs were filled with shocking marks left behind by what happened in bed.

He looked at the marks on Gu Mei’s body and cursed in disgust, “You’ve been played by a few men, yet you’re still pretending to be innocent and filial in front of me!”

Gu Mei’s face was swollen from Gu Tianhao’s slap. She stared at him with her eyes wide open.

She immediately understood that Gu Tianhao had found out about the rape.

It was no wonder that not only did she not make her father believe her, but she was also beaten up by him.

Gu Tianhao looked at Gu Mei’s disheveled hair and disheveled appearance. He was furious when he thought about how she had lied to him and even ruined his plan to coax Gu Qingcheng to bring Huo Sicheng back to the Gu family for dinner.

He raised his hand and slapped Gu Mei twice.

“Despicable! No wonder Gu Qingcheng looks down on you,” he cursed. “Look at you now. You’re neither human nor ghost! A person like you being my daughter is simply a disgrace!”

Gu Mei was beaten by Gu Tianhao until her eyes sparkled, her ears buzzed, and her mouth reeked of blood.

But what made her even angrier was that Gu Tianhao had said that she was inferior to Gu Qingcheng.

She hated it when people compared her to Gu Qingcheng.

That slut Gu Qingcheng wasn’t even fit to carry her shoes!

In terms of beauty, she was the most beautiful in the world.

In terms of family background, she was the eldest daughter of the Gu family, the only daughter of Gu Tianhao, the number one socialite in Jiang City, and the peerless beauty that all men loved.

Gu Qingcheng was nothing in front of her.

“Gu Qingcheng is a slut. Why does she look down on me? I’m your daughter!” she yelled at Gu Tianhao with the utmost fury. “Not only did you hit me, but you also said that I’m not as good as Gu Qingcheng! Is there a father like you?”

“You’re my daughter, and Gu Qingcheng is my daughter too!” Gu Tianhao glared at Gu Mei. “Gu Qingcheng is the eldest daughter, and you are the second daughter. As long as I’m alive, you will always be the second daughter. Don’t dream of being the eldest daughter of the Gu family!”

Gu Mei stared at Gu Tianhao in shock. She could not believe that he would say such a thing to her.

She had been pampered by him since she was young, and all she had seen of Gu Qingcheng was Gu Tianhao abusing her.

Gu Tianhao had even told her many times that she was the eldest daughter of the Gu family and that she would inherit everything in the Gu family in the future.

She had enjoyed everything that the eldest daughter of the Gu family had since she was born. Now, Gu Tianhao actually called her the second daughter?

Was Gu Tianhao crazy?

“No, I can’t! I’m the eldest daughter of the Gu family!” She shouted hysterically at Gu Tianhao, “You’ve doted on me the most since I was young. You said that I’m Miss Gu, your only daughter! I’m not Second Miss, I’m not!”

Gu Tianhao looked at the crazy Gu Mei and grabbed her hair. “You have to listen to me in the Gu family. You and your mother are my private belongings! If I can make you the young miss, I can take away everything that belongs to you! This is your punishment for lying to me and ruining my plan!”

Gu Mei felt a pain in her scalp. What was even more terrifying was the viciousness in Gu Tianhao’s eyes and the words that came out of his mouth.

Was she a private item?

NO!

She was a person, not an object!

What was worse was the plan that his father, Gu Tianhao, had mentioned.

“Plan?” She was a little stunned.. “What plan did I ruin?”
