Chu He listened to Gu Mei’s almost screaming roar and stepped back in fear, worrying that Qi Shaoze would hear her, she quickly covered Gu Mei’s mouth with her hand.
“Don’t shout,” she coaxed Gu Mei in a low and humble voice, “Mommy is wrong, don’t make a fuss. If Qi Shaoze hears, your cooperation with him will end. ”
Gu Mei was so angry she felt like her lungs would explode.
Her beloved mother was simply the dumbest person in the world!
Chu He had countless opportunities to destroy Gu Qingcheng but never did it.
When she was a child, Chu He could have killed Gu Qingcheng but didn’t.
Now, Chu He even kidnapped Gu Qingcheng but didn’t kill her, letting her torture Gu Mei to the point of wishing for death.
Her current misery was largely Chu He’s fault.
“Xiaomei, Mommy is wrong,” Chu He continued to apologize to Gu Mei, coaxing her gently, “Please forgive Mommy.”
Gu Mei was furious, her liver aching with anger.
She dreamed of getting leverage over Gu Qingcheng.
At that time, Chu He claimed to have dirt on Gu Qingcheng, but selfishly kept it to control her instead of using it to help Gu Mei take revenge, which made her extremely hate Chu He.
Hearing her mother’s words now, she was livid.
If Chu He had exposed Gu Qingcheng’s photo back then, it would have been Gu Qingcheng, not her, who was humiliated and ruined online.
Her eyes filled with resentment as she stared at Chu He.
Seeing the look in Gu Mei’s eyes, Chu He felt guilty and afraid.
She knew Gu Mei resented her for not releasing Gu Qingcheng’s photos, which is why she always claimed to have leverage over Gu Qingcheng but never dared to reveal it was her photos.
“Don’t be angry with me, I know I was wrong,” she said with full remorse, admitting her mistake to Gu Mei, “I lost my phone, so just think I never had anything on Gu Qingcheng.”
Gu Mei was even more furious. Chu He had the leverage over Gu Qingcheng but stupidly lost it.
She was in pain, her organs twisting in anger, but she knew getting angry was useless. She couldn’t kill her only relative, her mother!
So, she had no other choice but to accept the reality, as the past was the past.
“I don’t blame you, Mom. Whether Gu Qingcheng is poisoned or not, it’s important to bring a doctor to treat her first,” she steadied herself and told Chu
He, “If she dies here, Huo Sicheng will kill us.”
Seeing that Gu Mei wasn’t angry with her, Chu He was surprised and relieved, not knowing what she would have done otherwise.
But as Gu Mei was about to leave, Chu He grabbed her hand again, “Xiaomei, I need to talk to you before we treat Gu Qingcheng.”
Since their mother-daughter relationship had eased, she was worried about Gu
Mei losing control and doing something foolish. Worried, she asked Gu Mei, “Have you understood our situation now? Didn’t you say you wanted to marry
Qi Shaoze? He insulted you before, and you endured it. I thought you had
grown wiser, knew how to scheme, but now you’ve caused such a scene, I’m
really skeptical about you.”
“I understand our situation, or I wouldn’t have calmed down,” Gu Mei told Chu
He, “I do want to marry Qi Shaoze, and seeing him so worried about Gu Qingcheng made me jealous and envious. But I hate Gu Qingcheng more, so I lost control and wanted her dead, forgetting about Huo Sicheng, I…”
Chu He wasn’t surprised by Gu Mei’s words, knowing jealousy had clouded her judgment.
“Tell Mom your plan,” she asked Gu Mei, “so I can help you strategize.”
Gu Mei hesitated, then whispered her thoughts to Chu He after checking their surroundings.
Meanwhile, in the monitoring room, Qi Shaoze was anxious, watching the unconscious Gu Qingcheng. He was in a panic, not seeing any doctor coming to rescue her.
He had never seen Gu Qingcheng so weak and fallen. If something happened to her, he would never forgive himself.
“She’s still unconscious,” the bodyguard spoke again towards the camera, “Her breathing is getting weaker, she might die.”
Hearing this, Qi Shaoze couldn’t just stand there watching the screen or wait for the doctor.
He quickly left the monitoring room, ready to go to the cell to carry Gu Qingcheng to the hospital for treatment.
Just as Gu Mei and Chu He finished discussing their plan and bribed a quack doctor to keep quiet, they were preparing to save Gu Qingcheng.
But as they passed the monitoring room, they saw Qi Shaoze hurrying and Gu
Mei called out, “Shaoze, where are you going?”
Qi Shaoze, with Gu Qingcheng on his mind, his eyes filled with concern, ignored Gu Mei’s voice behind him.
“Damn,” Chu He slapped her thigh in panic, “Qi Shaoze is going to see Gu Qingcheng. If his identity is exposed, we’ll lose a backer.”
Hearing Chu He, Gu Mei was startled.
She couldn’t let Qi Shaoze enter the room, regardless of Gu Qingcheng’s condition. He couldn’t appear there.
Qi Shaoze was her only means to deal with Gu Qingcheng. If his identity was exposed, and Gu Qingcheng turned against him, he couldn’t approach her as a friend anymore, ruining her plan.
“Shaoze…” she ran up and hugged Qi Shaoze desperately, “You can’t go in, I’ve brought a doctor, they will examine my sister…”
Qi Shaoze was about to reach the door to the cell holding Gu Qingcheng, but Gu Mei clung to his waist tightly.
“Let go!” he said in disgust, “Don’t touch me.”
Gu Mei hugged Qi Shaoze so close for the first time, the proximity overwhelming her with the faint scent of mint from his body, an aroma that attracted her immensely.
Feeling Qi Shaoze’s sturdy waist, she was shaken, a hunger erupting within her, making her want to strip him and sleep with him immediately.
“Qi Shao, you can’t go into the room,” Chu He, unaware of Gu Mei’s improper thoughts, hurriedly persuaded, “You and Xiaomei are partners. If Qingcheng discovers your identity, your collaboration will be meaningless. She will definitely tell Huo Sicheng about you, putting you in danger.”
Chu He’s words snapped Gu Mei out of her daze. She quickly suppressed her desire for Qi Shaoze and said, “You can let me go, but you can’t go into the room to see my sister. I can’t risk exposing your identity.”
Qi Shaoze removed Gu Mei’s hands from his waist and glared at her, “Your sister is unconscious, and you’re still worried about our partnership? If she’s unconscious, how can she see me? I think you just want your sister to die, don’t you?”
