Chapter 300 - 300: Isn’t Huo Sicheng Disabled?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Qingcheng turned her head and glanced at Huo Sicheng in the distance.

She noticed he hadn’t moved from the spot where she left him. Turning her gaze back to Gu Tianhao, her expression shifted from anger to a softer, more resigned look.

Gu Tianhao and Gu Qingcheng locked eyes, and he noticed the change in her expression, which didn’t make him nervous but rather more relaxed.

Because the shift in Gu Qingcheng’s gaze signified her journey from resentment to acceptance.

He, Qin Chong, and even Gu Qingcheng herself knew that although everyone seemed to have put aside their past grievances, in reality, they were all acting.

At this moment, the look in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes told him she had been deceived by him and Qin Chong. They were acting, but Gu Qingcheng genuinely believed they had reconciled.

This was a good thing for him; it seemed like the inheritance was now easily within his reach.

Gu Qingcheng noticed the change in Gu Tianhao’s demeanor and slightly narrowed her eyes, a hint of mockery within them.

Gu Tianhao might be thinking whatever he wanted, but she knew exactly what was going on, as she intended for him to think that way.

“Last time, I visited YK Law Firm to understand the inheritance,” she began speaking to Gu Tianhao in a gentle voice. “The lawyer specially appointed by Grandfather, Fu Nanjue, discussed the contents of the inheritance with me. Although he said a lot, I was quite confused because I have always known I’m not cut out for business and don’t understand these things.”

Gu Tianhao knew Gu Qingcheng wasn’t lying because she indeed wasn’t business-savvy. Even the Royal Dance Academy she founded was managed by Li Jing. Officially, she might be the head of the school, but in reality, she was more like a dancer and a socialite.

So, when Gu Qingcheng said she wasn’t good at business, did she mean for him to take over the inheritance?

If that was the case, then it would come to him without any effort.

Moreover, this inheritance rightfully belonged to him, Gu Tianhao, but his detestable father had, before his death, bequeathed it all to Gu Qingcheng!

This was a hurdle he could never get over in his life. He couldn’t accept that as his father’s biological son, he didn’t receive the inheritance, and instead, it went to his eldest daughter.

He couldn’t accept it!

Every time he thought about it, he deeply resented his deceased father.

“You are so intelligent; you would learn it quickly,” he said affectionately to Gu Qingcheng, giving himself an out. “If you want to learn, Dad can teach you.

This is the Gu family’s property and a testament to Grandfather’s love for you. You should inherit it, and Dad can be your assistant, helping you learn the ropes of the business.”

Gu Qingcheng wasn’t surprised that Gu Tianhao reminded her the inheritance belonged to the Gu family, which was also his true desire.

She and Huo Sicheng were already married. She couldn’t handle the business but could leave it entirely in Huo Sicheng’s hands, which is why Gu Tianhao reminded her that Grandfather was a member of the Gu family and that the inheritance was left for her, not to be handed over to an outsider like Huo Sicheng.

“You’re right; this is our Gu family’s inheritance and a sign of Grandfather’s love for me,” she continued along Gu Tianhao’s line, pausing slightly before adding casually, “I was quite confused listening to Fu Nanjue’s explanation. The only thing I remember is that the inheritance is very valuable, but I don’t know exactly how much it’s worth.”

Gu Tianhao’s eyes widened when he heard Gu Qingcheng mention that it was ‘valuable’.

Valuable?

The inheritance his father left for Gu Qingcheng was not just simply ‘valuable’!

In the face of this inheritance, the Qin and Gu families were insignificant. So, this inheritance was his lifetime of resentment!

If his father had left this wealth to him, Gu Corporation would not only be independent of Huo Sicheng’s influence but could also be the world’s number one.

But he resented, blamed, and only after his father’s death did he learn of the will’s existence, only to find out that Gu Qingcheng had inherited everything that rightfully belonged to him.

His inheritance, his wealth, all taken by his own daughter, Gu Qingcheng. How could he swallow this humiliation, and how could he not hate his father and Gu Qingcheng!

If it weren’t for Gu Qingcheng, if it weren’t for Mu Xia, he wouldn’t be facing such embarrassment now, having to lower his voice to his younger relative!

The inheritance, his inheritance, he had to take it back!

Gu Qingcheng caught the fleeting resentment in Gu Tianhao’s eyes as he looked at her.

She slightly furrowed her brows, seemingly casually saying, “Although I know Grandfather loved me, I’ve always been puzzled why he left the inheritance to me and not you. After all, you are Grandfather’s biological son, and according to the order of inheritance rights, it should be passed to you, not me.”

Gu Tianhao’s expression changed instantly at Gu Qingcheng’s words, bringing to mind many things he didn’t want to remember.

Seeing Gu Tianhao’s face change, Gu Qingcheng immediately understood there must be a big secret hidden, otherwise, Fu Nanjue would not have avoided this question, letting her ask Gu Tianhao directly.

“Why?” she pressed Gu Tianhao, seizing the moment. “I wasn’t by

Grandfather’s side when he passed away, but you were. Did you ever ask Grandfather why he left the inheritance to me and not to you?” Gu Qingcheng then turned her head to glance briefly at Huo Sicheng in the distance.

She noticed he hadn’t moved from where she left him. Turning her attention back to Gu Tianhao, her expression changed from anger to a softer and more resigned look.

Gu Tianhao and Gu Qingcheng locked eyes. He noted the shift in her gaze, which didn’t make him nervous but rather relaxed.

Because the change in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes represented her journey from resentment to acceptance.

He, Qin Chong, and even Gu Qingcheng herself knew that despite appearances of burying the hatchet, everyone was just acting.

At this moment, the look Gu Qingcheng gave him let him know that she had been deceived by him and Qin Chong. They were acting, but Gu Qingcheng genuinely believed in their reconciliation.

This was a good thing for him; it seemed as if the inheritance was now easily within his grasp.

Gu Qingcheng observed the change in Gu Tianhao’s expression, her eyes narrowing slightly with a hint of mockery.

Whatever Gu Tianhao was thinking, she knew it clearly – after all, she intended

to make him think this way.

“Last time, I went to YK Law Firm to understand the inheritance,” she spoke to

Gu Tianhao in a gentle voice. “The lavvyer appointed by Grandfather, Fu Nanjue, discussed the contents of the inheritance with me. He said a lot, but I was quite confused, as I’ve always known that I’m not cut out for business and don’t understand these things.”

Gu Tianhao knew Gu Qingcheng wasn’t lying because she indeed was not business-savvy. Even the Emperor Arts School she ran was managed by Li Jing. Officially, she might be the head of the school, but in reality, she was more like a dancer and a socialite.

So, was Gu Qingcheng saying she wasn’t good at business to let him take over the inheritance?

If that was the case, then it would come to him effortlessly.

This was a hurdle he could never get over in his life. He couldn’t accept that as his father’s biological son, he didn’t receive the inheritance, and instead, it went to his eldest daughter.

He couldn’t accept it!

Every time he thought about it, he deeply resented his deceased father..
