Gu Tianhao’s eyes were filled with malice.

He looked at Chu He, who was sobbing in his arms, and then glanced at the pitiful and miserable Gu Mei, whom he had just beaten.

“Before I make a decision for Xiaomei, I have a few questions for both of you.” As soon as Chu He heard these words from Gu Tianhao, she forgot to cry.

“Questions?” She gazed at Gu Tianhao with teary eyes. “Gu Qingcheng is sowing discord among the three of us, and the evidence is right in front of you. What other questions do you have?”

Gu Tianhao turned his gaze to Gu Mei. “Xiaomei, when I entered your room, what did you mean by ‘little bastard’? Whose child is it? You even wanted to kill a child!”

Gu Mei, after being brutally beaten by Gu Tianhao, had a face swollen like a pig’s head.

She had originally planned to take a few days off to participate in the “Taohe Cup,” a competition specifically to criticize Gu Qingcheng’s Royal Dance Academy’s students.

However, Gu Tianhao unilaterally subjected her to a severe beating and even threatened to strip her of her status as a young lady of the Gu family.

She hated Gu Tianhao to the core.

No matter what, she would never tell Gu Tianhao about Gu Qingcheng giving birth to the illegitimate child, and she couldn’t let him ruin her plans.

With a hateful look in her eyes, she said, “It’s the child of a classmate. He insulted me, so I wanted to kill his child.”

Gu Tianhao stared at Gu Mei. “Which classmate’s child?”

Gu Mei hadn’t expected Gu Tianhao to ask in such detail. She quickly thought of a female classmate from her past who had been married and had a child.

It seemed that she would have to kill one more person!

It didn’t matter how many people she had to kill, as long as Gu Tianhao didn’t suspect her.

In her eyes, her life was the most important, and other people’s lives were insignificant, they could die as she pleased.

After hearing this, Gu Tianhao stared at Gu Mei again and asked with a sharp tone, “Are you absolutely sure you didn’t tamper with the food during that lunch?”

“No,” Gu Mei vehemently denied. “I just dropped a plate, and it wasn’t intentional.”

Gu Tianhao fixed his gaze on Gu Mei and, after seeing her determination, said in a stern voice, “Alright, I believe that you didn’t tamper with the food during lunch. But you lied about the plate; you intentionally dropped it, so you deserved the beating today!”

Gu Mei was taken aback. “Dad, I didn’t… I…”

“Do you think I can’t see that you were trying to attract Huo Sicheng’s attention?” Gu Tianhao’s eyes were cold and indifferent. “You want to snatch whatever Gu Qingcheng likes. You took Qin Jun away from her, and now that you see her happily married to Huo Sicheng, you can’t stand it. You want to take Huo Sicheng away from her once again. Only by doing that can you make Gu Qingcheng lose everything and be happy.”

Gu Mei widened her eyes, unable to believe that her father, Gu Tianhao, knew about this.

Chu He was shocked and couldn’t believe that her daughter, Gu Mei, would even want a handicapped Huo Sicheng.

In a world with so many men, no matter how many men Gu Mei had been with, she was still a young lady of the Gu family, a prestigious young woman. There were plenty of healthy men available, but Huo Sicheng was definitely not one of them.

“Husband, you’ve misunderstood Xiaomei,” Chu He said.

“I haven’t misunderstood,” Gu Tianhao said with a cold look. “I can see clearly with my own eyes. Xiaomei, you’re my daughter, and I’ve watched you grow up. I know what kind of person you are.”

Gu Mei said, “Yes, I did have that idea. I was angry that Gu Qingcheng got to marry Huo Sicheng! But I regretted it after dropping the plate. Someone like Huo Sicheng, who’s disabled and inhuman, is not worthy of me. I don’t want to be a widow.”

“Oh, so you regret it. I was actually thinking of matchmaking you with Huo Sicheng,” Gu Tianhao said with a hint of meaning. “If you regret it, then forget it.”

Gu Mei’s intestines turned green with regret. She had spoken too recklessly, and now if she asked her father, Gu Tianhao, to help her marry Huo Sicheng, he would think she was lying.

In a situation where she had no choice, she pretended to refuse angrily. “No, I don’t want to marry Huo Sicheng. I don’t want to be a widow. It was my fault that day, Dad, I’m sorry.”

Gu Tianhao looked at Gu Mei and said, “If you don’t want to, I won’t force you.

After all, Huo Sicheng is disabled and not worth wasting your youth on. Besides, I’ve already found a suitable marriage candidate for you.”

Gu Mei was stunned. “A marriage candidate?”

“It can’t be Qin Jun,” Gu Tianhao said bluntly. “Qin Jun is useless. If it weren’t for Qin Chong being his father, I would have stopped him from defiling you when you snatched Qin Jun. So I’ve calculated that Qin Chong has a heart condition and could die at any time. Once Qin Chong dies, Qin Jun will be the sole heir to the Qin family. This kind of useless person will surely ruin the Qin family. At that time, the prestige of the Qin family in Jiangcheng will also decline. He’s not worthy of you. That’s why I must find a wealthy young man who can help the Gu family and is suitable for you.”

As Gu Mei listened to Gu Tianhao’s words, she kept hearing what he had said to her before.

She was just Gu Tianhao’s private property, and he could dispose of her as he pleased, even marrying her off to someone else.

She didn’t want that.

She didn’t want her life to be controlled by Gu Tianhao. She wanted to marry Huo Sicheng, to humiliate Gu Qingcheng, to make Gu Qingcheng lose everything!

Chu He looked at Gu Tianhao with a resentful and helpless look in her eyes.

Clearly, her husband was using her daughter as a tool and bargaining chip.

But she had no choice. Daughters of prestigious families were originally tools for arranged marriages. Gu Qingcheng was an exception, but Gu Mei couldn’t escape it. She had to follow Gu Tianhao’s arrangements.

“You rest,” Gu Tianhao said as he finished handling matters and didn’t want to stay here any longer. He released Chu He. “Xiaomei, you stay with your mother, and let the doctor treat your injuries. I have something else to attend to.” After that, he left without looking back.

At this moment, he stood outside the door. turned his head to look at the

closed door, and said to the passing servant, “Bring the housekeeper and all the chefs here!”

“Yes, sir.”

Chu He was about to go after Gu Tianhao to persuade him, taking advantage of the situation, to increase Gu Tianhao’s hatred for Gu Qingcheng. But just as she opened the door a crack, she heard what he said.

She immediately understood that what Gu Qingcheng had said earlier had indeed influenced Gu Tianhao, making him suspicious of her and Gu Mei.

She had to make Gu Tianhao trust her. Only then could her position as Mrs. Gu be secure.

“Xiaomei, you’d better tell me the truth,” she said to her daughter. “What did you really do with the food that day?”

Gu Mei hesitated for a moment, then confessed, “I spiked Huo Sicheng’s dish. I wanted him to fall asleep. But I regretted it afterward.”

Chu He finally understood why Gu Tianhao was so angry. Her daughter’s actions had not only jeopardized their plans but had also put their reputation at risk.

“I’m in pain,” Gu Mei said, trying to divert attention from her confession.

“Mom, please call the doctor.”

Frustrated by her daughter’s actions, Chu He went to find a doctor, leaving Gu Mei alone to contemplate her choices.

Meanwhile, Gu Tianhao, determined to investigate further, left to gather his house staff and chefs.

In another part of the city, Gu Qingcheng, worried about not hearing from Huo Sicheng, rushed to her son’s school. She had just arrived when she heard a scream and saw a masked man carrying a white-haired child into a car.

White hair?

Huo Sicheng?

She was alarmed and ran towards the school gate, where a teacher lay on the ground. “What happened here?” she asked..
