Facing this question, Qin Chong was unwilling to respond.

To this day, there were only two things in his life he regretted the most.

The first was saving Huo Sicheng’s life.

The second was his foolish son, Qin Jun, getting involved with Gu Mei and being dumped by Gu Qingcheng. If not for that, Qin Jun would have married Gu Qingcheng long ago. He and Gu Tianhao would have taken the inheritance from her hands and eliminated her, preventing today’s incident from happening.

He was well aware that there was no medicine for regret in the world. This time, with Huo Sicheng not intervening, he had already lost to Gu Qingcheng, and lost thoroughly.

Reluctant and helpless, he could only resist Gu Qingcheng with his silence.

Gu Qingcheng glanced at Qin Chong, and seeing him silent, a cold smile formed on her lips.

She saw through Qin Chong’s petty schemes.

Thus, she turned to address the high-ranking officials questioning her, “Of course it’s true. Huo Sicheng and I have been married for a long time. It’s just that our marriage was kept secret, so it’s normal for you not to know. But

Chairman Qin and Chu He are aware of our marriage, and that’s enough.”

“Huo Sicheng, as the president of Huo Corporation and son-in-law of the Gu family, is also a member of the Gu family. He is certainly not a suspect in harming my father, Gu Tianhao. Therefore, it’s only fitting and capable for him to temporarily take over as chairman. You don’t have to worry about him seizing power. Once my father wakes up, Huo Sicheng will leave Gu Corporation. He’s just a temporary replacement.”

As she finished speaking, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and her clear and sharp eyes swept across all the board members.

“I’m not asking for your opinions, I’m informing you that Huo Sicheng will temporarily take over as chairman of Gu Corporation.” Her words carried a sense of deterrence.

After Gu Qingcheng’s speech, the high-ranking officials waiting for Qin Chong’s response were left speechless.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Noᴠel Fɪre.net - ɴovᴇlbin

Qin Chong’s silence was seen as an acknowledgment that Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng were husband and wife.

Even Qin Chong didn’t oppose her words, so they dared not go against Gu Qingcheng.

Moreover, Gu Qingcheng’s husband was Huo Sicheng, a decisive and feared figure in Jiangcheng’s business circle.

Especially in their eyes, Gu Qingcheng, seemingly elegant and noble, exuded an intimidating aura. Her lively eyes were filled with a sinister chill, as if she would tear them apart if they dared to oppose her.

No one dared to oppose Gu Qingcheng; everyone fell silent.

At that moment, Chu He felt her head buzzing, and the room seemed to spin,

as if she was being assaulted again.

She had been repeatedly humiliated by Gu Qingcheng and felt almost beaten to death by her.

Now, Gu Qingcheng had brought Huo Sicheng into play, and the wavering board members were no match for Huo Sicheng. They immediately sided with him.

Gu Qingcheng, this cunning and despicable woman, calling herself Mrs. Huo, was unworthy of the title and even of living. She was handing over Gu Corporation to Huo Sicheng just to prevent Chu He from obtaining it.

No.

She wouldn’t allow this to happen. Once Huo Sicheng got hold of Gu Corporation, her fortune would surely be cut off by him, and her situation would be as destitute as when Gu Tianhao divorced her, leaving her with nothing.

“I object!” She glared at Gu Qingcheng with a loud voice, “I object to Huo Sicheng acting as the chairman!”

Chu He’s opposition drew everyone’s attention, except for Huo Sicheng, who only had eyes for Gu Qingcheng.

Qin Chong frowned.

Seeing Qin Chong silent, the board members didn’t dare to speak either.

“You object?” Gu Qingcheng looked disdainfully at Chu He, “You think you’re qualified?”

“You…” Chu He was so angry she was almost spitting blood, glaring at Gu Qingcheng, “This is Gu Corporation. You’re letting an outsider like Huo Sicheng act as chairman, do you want to kill your father? Gu family matters should not be interfered with by the Huo family! If you don’t want me to act as chairman, at least Qin Chong can. He was close to your father like a brother, and he rightfully deserves it.”

“Isn’t the Qin family also an outsider?” Gu Qingcheng questioned Chu He, “Even close brothers settle accounts clearly, let alone cousin Qin, who is not my father’s real brother. Huo Sicheng, my husband, is the real member of the Gu family, and he has the right to temporarily take over Gu Corporation.” Gu Qingcheng’s words left Chu He speechless, unable to retort.

She wanted to oppose Gu Qingcheng, but found no reason to.

Initially, she hoped to elevate Qin Chong to the chairman of Gu Corporation, but Gu Qingcheng cunningly brought Huo Sicheng into the equation. In fact, as Gu Qingcheng’s husband, Huo Sicheng had a more legitimate claim to act as chairman compared to Qin Chong.

Unwilling to accept defeat to Gu Qingcheng, Chu He was at a loss.

“You…”

“Chu He!” Qin Chong interrupted her sharply, “Qingcheng is right, I support Qingcheng.”

At his words, Chu He’s eyes widened in disbelief, “How can you…”

“Huo Sicheng is my cousin, and he is Qingcheng’s husband, as well as Tianhao’s son-in-law. He is the most suitable person to temporarily take over Gu Corporation.” Qin Chong sternly warned Chu He, “You and Qingcheng are both suspects in pushing Tianhao, and I’m unwell, too busy with my own corporation to meddle in Gut s affairs. So, my cousin Sicheng is the best choice.”

Finally, Qin Chong declared his support for Huo Sicheng, and the opportunistic high-ranking officials also voiced their support: “We support President Huo as the acting chairman.”

Chu He was stunned, unable to believe Qin Chong had betrayed her.

She wanted Qin Chong’s help to seize the chairman position of Gu Corporation, but not only did he not help her, he also supported Huo Sicheng, decisively abandoning her.

Too heartless, how could he be so heartless towards her.

“You… you all…” Frustrated and out of options, she glared at Gu Qingcheng in anger, “You win!”

After saying that, she angrily smashed a vase and left the meeting room like a defeated dog and a shrew, full of resentment.

Qin Chong, seeing this, looked towards Huo Sicheng. “Cousin, please take care of Gu Corporation until Tianhao wakes up.”

Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng, “Hubby, please.”

Huo Sicheng’s deep and dark phoenix eyes stared straight at Gu Qingcheng. “Alright, I will act as chairman of Gu Corporation until Gu Tianhao wakes up.”

Qin Chong immediately signaled everyone with a kind face, “Come on, let’s welcome your new chairman.”

“Welcome, new chairman.”

“Ah, the union of the Huo and Gu families, a cause for celebration.’

“I hope you all remember, Huo Sicheng is not the new chairman, he’s just acting as chairman,” Gu Qingcheng reminded everyone appropriately, “Don’t get the title wrong.”

After her words, she looked at Qin Chong, “Cousin, Sicheng is just acting, you can’t speak wrongly, to avoid making people think my husband is here to seize power.”

Qin Chong’s face stiffened slightly; he had intentionally made it seem like Huo

Sicheng was there to seize power, but Gu Qingcheng easily neutralized his trap.

“Cousin-in-law, what are you saying? Sicheng is my cousin, how could I harm him?” He hurriedly chuckled, “It was just a slip of the tongue, a mere slip.” “Whether it was a slip of the tongue….” Gu Qingcheng hinted, “You know best, don’t you, cousin?”
