Chapter 338: Taking Over Gu Corporation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Sicheng disregarded Qin Chong and Chu He; his sole focus was on Gu Qingcheng.
His gaze fixated on her, he slowly moved closer.
βAre you alright?β His voice was suffused with a gentle, caring timbre.
Huo Sichengβs soft words resonated in Gu Qingchengβs ears, causing her heart to flutter and filling her with a sweet sensation.
βHow could I not be?β She shook her head slightly, her eyes meeting his. βIβm strong. No one can bully me.β
Huo Sicheng found himself momentarily breathless at her charming demeanor.
Despite the presence of Qin Chong and Chu He, his jealousy surged. He disliked the idea of others witnessing such an endearing side of her.
Qin Chong, upon seeing Gu Qingchengβs demure expression, was stunned.
Known for her toughness, Gu Qingcheng was unexpectedly showing a softer, more feminine side, an astonishing transformation.
But to Qin Chong, Gu Qingchengβs display of vulnerability in front of others seemed beneath her.
Chu He, observing the intimate exchange between Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng, seethed with fury and felt a surge of sympathy for Gu Mei.
She understood why Gu Mei was driven to such lengths for Huo Sicheng β he was indeed a man of significant allure.
Chu He glared at Gu Qingcheng, her jealousy barely contained.
Huo Sicheng, gazing at with tenderness, reached out to hold her hand. βYouβre indeed fierce,β he agreed, his tone deliberate. βPeople do fear you.β
Gu Qingcheng, however, seemed slightly irked by his words.
βWhat do you mean? Do you find me disagreeable?β
Huo Sicheng was secretly pleased to see the shift from shyness to annoyance in her eyes. He cherished being the sole witness to her endearing side and disliked her showing it to others.
βI wouldnβt dare,β he responded.
βWhy wouldnβt you?β Gu Qingcheng countered, βYou dare to do a lot!β
βI truly donβt,β Huo Sicheng affirmed, raising his voice. βAfter all, I am the one you married. You are the head of the Huo family and the heir of the Gu family.β
His declaration caused Qin Chong and Chu Heβs expressions to shift dramatically.
They both knew the weight of Huo Sichengβs words. In the past, when Qin Chong had antagonized Gu Qingcheng, Huo Sicheng had used the same line to assert his support for her.
Qin Chong bristled at Huo Sichengβs unabashed declaration.
In his view, the traditional order was for men to marry women, not the other way around!
Gu Qingchengβs union with Huo Sicheng signified his backing for her against Qin Chong and Chu He.
Chu He, her emotions boiling over, accidentally broke one of her carefully manicured nails.
Huo Sichengβs statement was a clear warning β if she dared to cross Gu Qingcheng, the Huo family would not stand idly by. ππ«π²π²ππ²π―π»π¨ππ²π₯.ππ¨πΊ
Her resentment towards Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng intensified. Qin Chong, unable to openly defy Huo Sicheng, resorted to grudging flattery. βOf course, I cherish my woman,β Huo Sicheng declared to Qin Chong, adding a veiled threat, βI wonβt tolerate anyone offending her.β freewebnov(e)l
Qin Chongβs expression shifted, recognizing Huo Sichengβs warning.
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng, her heart brimming with warmth.
In a world where male pride often took precedence, Huo Sicheng showed her profound respect by publicly acknowledging her as his partner and cautioning Qin Chong against any disrespect.
Overwhelmed, she softly called him, βHubby.β
Huo Sichengβs grip on her hand tightened. He turned to her, his voice soft yet resolute, βIβm here.β
Gu Qingcheng responded with a tender smile and a playful wink.
Turning to Chu He, she said confidently, βChu He, did you hear? I married Huo Sicheng, so Iβm more than just βwater that has been poured out.β As a member of the Gu family, Huo Sicheng has every right to intervene in Gu Corporationβs affairs. β
Chu He was so infuriated by her words that she nearly collapsed.
Fuming with anger, she cursed Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng in her heart.
Damned b*tch!
She was so enraged that she had the seething urge to kill that despicable pair called Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng.
Qin Chong, though not surprised by Gu Qingchengβs stance, felt the weight of her words. After all she had said the same thing when he went to see her in the morning.
He knew she was set on involving Huo Sicheng in the corporation, and he was powerless to stop her.
He now only felt that Gu Qincheng was acting too quickly, and he and Chu He were also very unlucky. They didnβt get control of Gu Corporation in time, and instead ran into Gu Qingcheng. Now, things at the board of directors were going to be difficult.
Recognizing the urgency, Qin Chong quickly interjected, βItβs getting late. Letβs head to the board meeting. Tianhaoβs secretary is awaiting my assistance with some urgent matters. Shall we all go and have a look?β
Chu He was already furious with Gu Qincheng and Huo Sicheng, and upon hearing Qin Chongβs invitation for Gu Qincheng and Huo Sicheng to join them at the board of directorsβ meeting, she looked at Qin Chong in disbelief. She couldnβt believe that at such a critical moment, he would turn his back on her and actually side with Gu Qingcheng!
Qin Chong, sensing Chu Heβs disbelief, glanced at her from the corner of his eye. He found himself unable to explain due to Gu Qingchengβs presence.
Gu Qincheng and Huo Sicheng, joining forces, effectively put Qin Chong and Chu He in their place. The couple exchanged a knowing look, and in perfect unison, they declared, βLetβs head to the board of directorsβ meeting first.β
As Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng made their exit, Chu He glared at Qin Chong, her resentment palpable.
βMaster Qin, how can you support Gu Qingcheng and the others? If they attend the board meeting, how can I secure my position? Gu Qingcheng will surely oppose me!β she lamented.
βWeβre in a tight spot,β Qin Chong explained. βWe canβt afford to antagonize Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng. Donβt worry, Iβll ensure you get your place on the board.β
Chu He, though seething, knew she had no choice but to rely on Qin Chong. With a deep breath, she suppressed her anger.
βLetβs hurry to the board meeting. We canβt let Gu Qingcheng cause any trouble. β
Arriving at Gu Tianhaoβs opulent office atop Gu Corporation building, Gu Qingchengβs disdain for her estranged father deepened.
Here, in this luxurious space, the man who had abandoned her and her mother controlled the destinies of many. She felt he had no right to such a life.
Qin Chong, regarded as a brother by Gu Tianhao, commanded respect among the corporationβs higher-ups. Consequently, they eagerly awaited his arrival
for the meeting.
Huo Sicheng, walking alongside Gu Qingcheng, observed the respectful demeanor of the executives. His phoenix eyes held a distant, menacing glint. He murmured, βThe situation at Gu Corporation reminds me of the car accident that claimed my parentsβ¦β
Gu Qingcheng halted, turning to Huo Sicheng with a puzzled look.
βWhat do you mean?β she asked, seeking clarity.. βHow is the Gu Corporation incident similar to your parentsβ car accident?β
