Qi Shaoze looked at Chu He in amusement.

“You don’t even know who you are, and you’re asking me?”

Chu He’s face stiffened, and she growled, “I’m Mrs. Gu, the wife of the chairman of Gu Corporation! If you offend me, you won’t have a good ending.”

“Oh, I see.” Qi Shaoze did not seem to care. Instead, he mocked Chu He. “I don’t really like fruits. I only like to drink. Therefore, you should keep your fruits. Of course, if you insist on giving me some, though, bring it on. I don’t really care.”

“You… You…” Chu He was furious. She mocked Gu Qingcheng. “Is that all you’ve got? You’re looking for reinforcements? I really overestimated you.”

“You can ask the reporters to help you, but I can’t ask Qi Shaoze to help me Gu Qingcheng smiled. “What double standards.”

Seeing that the reporters she had brought with her had left, Chu He glared at Gu Qingcheng angrily. “You’re lucky this time, but you won’t be so lucky the next! ”

After saying that, she pushed Gu Mei and left quickly.

Gu Qingcheng wanted to stop Chu He and teach her a lesson, but Qi Shaoze stopped her.

“The reporters are still here. Don’t cause trouble.” Qi Shaoze pulled Gu Qingcheng away. “This is a dangerous place. Let’s get out of here.” Gu Qingcheng sat in Qi Ze’s car, feeling extremely upset and troubled.

“How did you know I was here?”

It was very strange!

Tonight, she just wanted to have dinner with her son, Huo Xuan.

It was a simple meal. In the end, they didn’t get to eat, and waves of people crashed in on them.

Huo Sicheng suddenly appeared.

Chu He and Gu Mei brought the reporters over.

Qi Shaoze was there too.

Did everyone know where she was?

“You asked me to send someone to keep an eye on Chu He,” Qi Shaoze told Gu Qingcheng. “Chu He suddenly contacted the reporters and brought Gu Mei to this restaurant. My men found you and immediately informed me. I was discussing a new movie with Movie King Jiang nearby, so I rushed over as soon as possible.”

Gu Qingcheng understood.

It seemed that Qi Shaoze was also oblivious to Huo Xuan’s existence. Otherwise, he would have asked for more details.

It was good that Huo Xuan hadn’t been discovered by him.

“Couldn’t you have called me to tell me?” she asked Qi Shaoze. “You only appeared when Chu He found me.”

“I forgot to contact you.” Qi Shaoze was annoyed.” I rushed over as soon as I could.

Gu Qingcheng understood how much Qi Shaoze cared about her, so she didn’t ask.

“Do me a favor. Go to the aquarium and take more photos of the fish.” She got out of the car and shut the door. “I have something to deal with now.”

“What is it?” Qi Shaoze asked Gu Qingcheng, “Do you need my help?”

Gu Qingcheng shook her head. “Qi Shaoze, remember to suppress the news tonight. Don’t give Chu He a chance.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll deal with the reporters. The trending searches tomorrow would be about Film Emperor Jiang cheating on her,” Qi Shaoze responded to Gu Qingcheng. “Poor Movie King Jiang. He’s really a brick. He’ll move wherever people need him.”

Gu Qingcheng left after getting Qi Shaoze’s approval.

By the time her car stopped, she had already arrived at Li Jing’s house.

“Qingcheng, why are you here?” Li Jing was very surprised to see Gu Qingcheng. “Looks like you know.”

Gu Qingcheng was helpless. “Why didn’t you tell me about such a serious matter?”

“It happened in the afternoon.” Li Jing poured Gu Qingcheng a glass of green orange juice. “I’m still dealing with it. I thought I’d take a few days to try and solve it, and if I couldn’t, I’d tell you.”

“If the Gu family comes out, you won’t be able to put up a good show.” Gu Qingcheng took the green orange juice and took a sip. The sweet and sour taste lifted her gloomy mood a little. “You don’t have to worry about this. I’ll handle it. I came here tonight to look at their information and price list.”

“I’ll go get it.” Li Jing said as she left.

Gu Qingcheng stayed at Li Jing’s house to read some documents. She didn’t leave until one in the morning.

Even so, she did not return to Wanmei Villa because she had other matters to attend to.

When Ji Sisi saw Gu Qingcheng in her pajamas, she looked as if she had seen a ghost.

“Gu… Miss Gu…”

“Don’t be afraid.” Gu Qingcheng comforted Ji Sisi. “I’m not here to cause trouble.”

“I… This…” Ji Sisi came to her senses and quickly made way for her. “Please come in. Let’s talk inside.”

“No.” Gu Qingcheng shook her head. She had come to ask a question.

“What do you want to know, Miss Gu?” Ji Sisi asked.

“Has Huo Sicheng ever touched you before?” Gu Qingcheng asked without hesitation, but she was afraid that Ji Sisi didn’t understand, so she added, “You know what I mean.”

She wanted to ask if Ji Sisi had slept with Huo Sicheng.

Seeing how frightened Ji Sisi was, she was afraid that if she asked too directly, Ji Sisi would be too scared to answer.

However, there was no other way. She could only ask Ji Sisi.

Now, she waited for her reply.

Ji Sisi’s answer was related to the answer she wanted to get from Huo Sicheng.

She was stunned.

Had President Huo ever touched her?

She was afraid that Gu Qingcheng would hit her in the middle of the night, so she asked carefully, “Does touching him count?”

That day in the office, she had put her hand on President Huo’s shoulder in front of Gu Qingcheng.

After that, she never had the chance to get close to President Huo.

However, this was considered her first touch with President Huo.

Hearing Ji Sisi’s answer, Gu Qingcheng felt her heart ache. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As expected, Huo Sicheng had lied to her.

He would definitely tell her that he had never touched Ji Sisi and that they were innocent.

Ji Sisi said that she had met Huo Sicheng before.

Huo Sicheng did not touch Ji Sisi and took the initiative to touch him. This was no different from Huo Sicheng touching Ji Sisi.

Damn it, she was tricked by him again.

“It’s okay. Go to bed early.” After saying that, she wanted to leave.

“Miss Gu, uh… No, Mrs. Huo.” Ji Sisi asked anxiously, “You came here so late at night just to ask this question?”

Gu Qingcheng stopped in her tracks and left without responding to Ji Sisi.

She had come late at night just to ask this question.

However, she regretted it after asking. She would rather listen to Huo Sicheng’s one-sided words. At least she would live in his lies instead of feeling so much pain in her heart.

She didn’t know how to get back into the car.

He only knew that her heart was in pain, and he couldn’t help but place his hand on her heart.

It was as if there was a knife cutting into her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe. It was so painful that she wanted to die.

She sat in the car until the sky gradually brightened before she drove away.

The early summer sun shone over the entire Jiang City.

At six in the morning, Gu Qingcheng dragged herself back to Wanmei Villa, exhausted and sour.

When she walked into the large living room, she saw Huo Sicheng, who was in a daze.

Her heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and she almost suffocated for a moment.

In the next moment, she took a deep breath to ease the pain of the blunt knife, pretending to be very relaxed.

“Why are you up so early? Why aren’t you eating breakfast?”

Huo Sicheng’s heart had been heavy the whole time, and his dark eyes were as bright as day when Gu Qingcheng’s tall figure appeared.

“Waiting for you.”

“Uh…” Gu Qingcheng was taken aback. “You’re up so early to wait for me?”

“To be precise, I’ve been waiting since last night.” Huo Sicheng’s eyes were fixed on Gu Qingcheng. “You owe me an answer,” he said softly. “I had to wait.” Gu Qingcheng didn’t expect Huo Sicheng to wait until this morning just to get an answer.

After a moment of hesitation, she walked to his side and sat on the sofa beside him.

Huo Sicheng poured a glass of fruit juice for Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng took a sip, her tired eyes filled with surprise.

“Fresh orange juice.” She looked at Huo Sicheng with a sour heart. but she praised him with a smile. “You’re so sweet.”

Huo Sicheng’s eyes were like stars, and his voice was soft and filled with love. “I know you like orange juice.”

Gu Qingcheng smiled, put down the orange juice in her hand, and turned to look at Huo Sicheng.

She asked seriously, “Huo Sicheng, I’m going to ask you one last time.. Answer me honestly, have you ever touched Ji Sisi?”
