Lu Chi glanced at Gu Tianhao and then looked at Gu Qingcheng.

Sitting on a sofa nearby, Gu Qingcheng looked at the table full of exquisite dishes, but she had no appetite.

Gu Tianhao looked at Gu Qingcheng, his eyes filled with astonishment. ‘Qingcneng, you…”

“Lu Chi,” Gu Qingcheng ignored Gu Tianhao, “come over and sit.”

She saw the surprise in Gu Tianhao’s eyes when he looked at Lu Chi, and she immediately knew that he must recognize Lu Chi.

Lu Chi was the head of the Lu family, and it was not surprising that someone like Gu Tianhao, who hailed from the high society and with a wide network to know Lu Chi.

What surprised Gu Tianhao was why she could know Lu Chi, and why she had brought Lu Chi and Huo Sicheng, even after he insisted on his precense on the phone.

Lu Chi had connections in both camps and offending him would be very dangerous. That was also why he didn’t want Lu Chi to have conflicts with Huo Sicheng initially, as Lu Chi wouldn’t hesitate to use any means necessary.

Tonight, with Lu Chi’s presence, Gu Tianhao had to be cautious when talking to her. In a way, Lu Chi was here to protect prevent him from danger, for which he was grateful.

Lu Chi did not sit down as Gu Qingcheng had suggested but rather spoke with a purpose: “Today, I’ve come as a bodyguard.”

Gu Tianhao’s face slightly changed. Lu Chi’s words were a warning that should he dare harm Gu Qingcheng, he would intervene.

Over the years, he had shown little concern for Gu Qingcheng, so he did not really know her. Now he discovered that she knew so many influential figures.

His brows furrowed, and the more influential people Gu Qingcheng knew, the more challenging it would be for him to claim the inheritance he desired.

“Lu Chi, your presence at my home truly adds to its splendor,” he said with courtesy. “Whether as a bodyguard or not, when you come to my house, you are a guest. Please, have a seat.”

Lu Chi paid no attention to Gu Tianhao’s words. He walked over to Gu Qingcheng and stood beside her, refusing to sit.

Seeing this, Gu Tianhao decided not to say more. He sat on the sofa next to Gu Qingcheng and asked, “Qingcheng, when did you meet Mr. Lu? I would have prepared more food if I had known Mr. Lu was coming tonight.”

“When did I meet Lu Chi?” Gu Qingcheng languidly looked at Gu Tianhao and said in a calm tone, “I met him the second year after you kicked me out of the house. I met him when I was so poor I couldn’t even afford a meal.” Upon hearing Gu Qingcheng’s words, Gu Tianhao’s face turned extremely unpleasant.

“Qingcheng, how could you have gone without food? You’re the Gu family’s daughter, this is your home, and you can come back anytime you want. I would’ve provided you with everything you needed,” he explained with a forced smile, glancing at Lu Chi and adding, “Haha, my daughter loves to joke. She…”

Lu Chi looked at Gu Tianhao, his gaze sharp as a knife. “She’s speaking the truth.”

Gu Tianhao’s face turned even worse, and he couldn’t say a word.

Gu Qingcheng cast a quick glance at Lu Chi.

Yes, she was telling the truth. When Gu Tianhao and Chu He kicked her out of the house, she became an orphan. After earning money to pay for her education, she couldn’t even afford her living expenses.

She met Lu Chi in the boxing ring and made enough money to get out of her predicament. The money she earned was actually rigged by her archenemy, Huo Sicheng, through manipulated odds.

Huo Sicheng was someone she couldn’t let go of in her life. That’s why his actions affected her so deeply, and her every mood and action was influenced by him. That’s why she was so pained when she learned about his betrayal.

Chu He stormed into the restaurant, seeing Gu Qingcheng, beautiful and elegant, sitting on the sofa. She immediately thought of her daughter, Gu Mei, who had been disfigured and left bedridden since her encounter with Gu Qingcheng and her anger flared up.

“Gu Qingcheng!” she shouted and rushed toward Gu Qingcheng in a fit of rage.

Seeing Chu He, Gu Tianhao’s face darkened. He knew that she had a deep-seated hatred for Gu Qingcheng due to her daughter’s illness and the scandal.

Smack! The sound of a slap rang out, and Chu He had a red handprint on her right cheek.

Lu Chi saw that Chu He was about to attack Gu Qingcheng, and he quickly moved in front of her to shield her. Unexpectedly, Gu Tianhao swiftly stepped forward and gave Chu He a slap, leaving her standing in her tracks.

At this moment, Gu Tianhao looked furious as he glared at Chu He. “What are you shouting for? I had a servant call you to come down for dinner. You don’t need to yell!”

Chu He looked at her beloved husband, Gu Tianhao, and her right cheek throbbed with pain and embarrassment.

She still had feelings for him, but his recent behavior was slowly extinguishing her love.

“Look at yourself! You’re not acting like a proper lady at all. You’re embarrassing us,” Gu Tianhao’s face darkened. “Get out!”

Chu He was heartbroken by Gu Tianhao’s words.

Even though she had been kicked out by Gu Tianhao, she still felt resentment toward Gu Qingcheng.

“Gu Qingcheng, you ruined your sister, Gu Mei. Are you satisfied now? You’re so wicked; there’s no one in the world as evil as you!”

“Am I the most wicked person in the world?” Gu Qingcheng looked at Chu He with elegance and calmness. “Whether I am or not, that’s not for you to decide. The one who ruined your daughter, Gu Mei, was not me but herself and you, her negligent mother!”

“What am I guilty of?” Chu He angrily retorted. “My daughter and I kept avoiding you, but you and we couldn’t get along. It was you who repeatedly made things difficult for us, torturing us. You’re so cruel and malicious!”

“What are you guilty of?” Gu Qingcheng stood up from her chair and walked step by step toward Chu He. Each word she spoke was as sharp as a blade. “You kicked me out of the Gu family. When your daughter, Gu Mei, tried to seduce my boyfriend, Qin Jun, you didn’t stop her. When Gu Mei and Qin Jun were intimate in the Gu family’s room, you didn’t intervene. When you kidnapped me and tried to kill me, and you even masterminded the incident at the Peach Lotus Cup… you wanted me to die on the spot. Moreover, your daughter tampered with the food I ate with Huo Sicheng. What are you guilty of? All the blame belongs to you, Chu He!”

Chu He listened to every word that Gu Qingcheng said, and it was as if each word pierced her body like a knife. She felt terrified and pained.

Because everything Gu Qingcheng accused her of was not only true but they were things that she had actually done.

All her anger had dissipated, replaced by fear, as she slowly retreated. She was almost unable to stand and about to fall to her knees.

Gu Qingcheng had already watered down her revelation of the crimes committed. Otherwise, if she continued to talk, and if Gu Tianhao found out something about her, the consequences would be disastrous.

“Do you want me to continue?” Gu Qingcheng looked at Chu He, her eyes filled with a terrifying and dominant aura. “I have many more things I haven’t mentioned yet.”

Chu He, overwhelmed by fear, shook her head, having just moments ago been full of anger, she was now trembling with fear.

Translation: As Lu Chi listened to Gu Qingcheng’s words, he didn’t expect her to encounter so much danger. His eyes were filled with a murderous intent as he looked at Chu He.

When Gu Tianhao heard Gu Qingcheng’s words, he looked at Chu He in disbelief because there were some things Gu Qingcheng said that he didn’t know at all.

In his entire life, he detested it the most when others lied to him, especially when it came to his personal matters. How could Chu He dare to deceive him?

In the next moment, he angrily shouted at Chu He, “Chu He, have you done the things Qingcheng mentioned?”
