Gu Tianhao looked at Gu Mei’s puzzled expression and raised his hand to slap her.
“You’re still pretending in front of me!”
He was so angry that he slapped Gu Mei twice again.
“Your mother will tell you everything. Don’t you know why I asked Gu
Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng to go back to the Gu family home for dinner?”
Her face was burning with pain, her scalp was tearing, and Gu Tianhao’s angry roar beside her ear made Gu Mei’s head buzz. She could not come back to her senses for a long time.
Seeing that Gu Mei did not speak, Gu Tianhao slapped her again.
“Speak!”
Gu Mei, who had been beaten silly, quickly searched her memory and said, “Dad, you invited Gu Qingcheng and Young Master Huo to our house for dinner because of the Huo Auction. But… But I… No… I didn’t tamper with the food, I…”
Pa, pa, pa! Three slaps landed on Gu Mei’s face. Gu Tianhao roared furiously, “You still dare to lie at a time like this.”
After Chu He was informed by the doctor that Gu Tianhao had come to her daughter’s room, she hurried to Gu Mei’s room.
When she saw that her daughter’s face was so red and swollen that she could barely see her original face, she was shocked and quickly went forward to pry Gu Tianhao’s hand away from Gu Mei’s hair.
“Hubby, what are you doing?!”
Gu Tianhao was furious. He pushed Chu He away and glared at Gu Mei. “Tell me, what did you do to the food that day? Why are you doing this? Did your mother ask you to do this? Or did you help Qin Jun ruin my plan on purpose?” Gu Mei was wronged. She really did not know what had happened.
Gu Tianhao’s words immediately reminded Chu He of what Gu Qingcheng had said to Gu Tianhao that day at the Sichuan restaurant. In an instant, she understood what had happened.
That damned Gu Qingcheng!
“Honey, how could you listen to Gu Qingcheng and misunderstand our daughter?” She stepped forward and pulled Gu Tianhao. “Please let go of our daughter. Look at how badly you’ve beaten her. She’s already injured and can’t take it anymore.”
“Get lost!” Gu Tianhao pushed Chu He away again and glared at her. “You still have the cheek to say these words! As a mother, how did you discipline Gu Mei? She’s been spoiled by you! Don’t you know how important it was for me to have Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng come back for dinner?”
“But what did you do?” He walked up to Chu He in a fit of rage. He raised his hand and slapped Chu He hard in the face before kicking her. “You didn’t do anything! You watched as Gu Mei ruined the dinner that I had carefully prepared. You didn’t even tell me that Gu Mei had been played by a few men!
Tell me, how many more things are you hiding from me?”
The right side of Chu He’s face was swollen. Gu Tianhao’s kick on her stomach caused her to fall heavily to the ground. The pain made her not know whether to cover her face or her stomach.
She was lying on the ground in pain. She no longer had the usual arrogant look of a wealthy lady. Tears flowed down her face in a sorry state as she begged Gu Tianhao humbly, “Hubby, I’m not hiding anything from you. Xiao Mei didn’t ruin your plan. She doesn’t know anything.”
The thought of Gu Qingcheng being the cause of her and Gu Mei being beaten up by Gu Tianhao filled her heart with hatred.
Pretending to be pitiful and aggrieved, she began to smear Gu Qingcheng’s name. “Gu Qingcheng was the one who did this to our daughter. It’s not like you don’t know that Gu Qingcheng has hated Xiao Mei since she was young. She’s vicious and capable of anything. You can’t misunderstand our daughter and me just because of a few words she said.”
“Hubby, Xiao Mei, and I love you the most. No one in the world loves you more than us. You have to trust me and Xiao Mei, not Gu Qingcheng. Think about it. When did Gu Qingcheng ever listen to you? She always fought back and scolded you every time she saw you. How could you trust a vicious person?”
Gu Tianhao and Chu He had been husband and wife for many years. Seeing Chu He cry so heartbreakingly, such a fragile and innocent look, all of a sudden, it evoked all his pity, and the anger in his chest dissipated by more than half.
His tone became gentler as he questioned Chu He, “Do you really not know about Xiao Mei?”
“I don’t know.” Chu He answered Gu Tianhao with a wail and defended her daughter, Gu Mei. “You told me about Huo Corporation’s auction. I mentioned it to Xiao Mei. That includes the last time Gu Qingcheng was able to come back to the Huo family for dinner. I had to beg her time and time again to get her back. I had worked so hard to get her a meal. How could I ruin it on purpose?
“Honey, you’ve been fooled by Gu Qingcheng from the very beginning. Gu Qingcheng had been planning for a long time for our daughter Xiao Mei to do such a terrible thing. She had tortured our daughter on purpose, then invited us to a Sichuan restaurant to sow discord. Her motive was so clear, and you were tricked by her. You…You hit me and my daughter. I feel so wronged. Sob, sob, sob…”
When Gu Tianhao heard Chu He’s words, he felt that she was right.
If Gu Mei had really done something during lunch that day, Gu Qingcheng knew that she would have told him directly at the Sichuan restaurant. There was no need for her to be so indirect.
Gu Qingcheng had sowed discord between him and his wife and daughter, and he was furious.
“Gu Qingcheng, that b*tch!”
Chu He came late, so she didn’t know what her daughter Gu Mei and Gu Tianhao were talking about.
However, she had been by Gu Tianhao’s side for many years, so she knew his personality and knew how to play with him. Otherwise, she would not have been able to squeeze into the Gu family and become Mrs. Gu so easily after Mu Xia’s death.
No matter how stupid her daughter, Gu Mei, was, she knew that something terrible must have happened since Gu Tianhao could settle the score personally. No matter how stupid she was, she knew how to deny it.
As long as her daughter Gu Mei denied anything about what had happened at lunch that day, she could turn her accusations into accusations. She would also push the blame onto Gu Qingcheng and make Gu Tianhao hate Gu Qingcheng.
After all, she had long since discovered that her daughter, Gu Mei, had been hiding a lot of things from her. So, Gu Mei must have tampered with the food for lunch that day. Otherwise, Gu Qingcheng wouldn’t have tortured her daughter for no reason.
However, when she saw Gu Tianhao’s soft attitude, a sinister look flashed across her eyes.
When she was trying to sow discord, Gu Qingcheng, that b*tch, hadn’t even been born yet!
Gu Qingcheng was nothing but trash when it came to fighting with her!
“Hubby.” She got up from the ground pitifully and hugged Gu Tianhao, enduring the pain in her body. She cried her heart out. “We’ve been so kind to Gu Qingcheng, but she’s trying to drive a wedge between us. She’s so despicable.”
“I won’t forgive Gu Qingcheng!” Gu Tianhao hugged Chu He with one hand and patted her back with the other to comfort her. “Don’t cry. It’s my fault today. Don’t cry.”
Chu He continued to cry. “Hubby, it’s okay if you hit my daughter and me. But our daughter, Gu Mei, was raped by Gu Qingcheng. You have to help our daughter. Besides, if Gu Qingcheng were to spread this news, how would our daughter be able to live in the future? Gu Qingcheng will ruin the reputation of the Gu family and your reputation.”
Gu Tianhao frowned. When he thought of Chu He’s words, his eyes were filled with killing intent.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let Gu Qingcheng destroy the Gu family. I’ll get justice for Xiao Mei.”
Chu He cried and asked Gu Tianhao, “Hubby, how do you want to help your daughter Xiao Mei? How can I torture Gu Qingcheng?”
