“So what?” Huo Sicheng stared at Gu Qingcheng darkly. He replied to Qi Dehao first, then said to Gu Qingcheng, “You choose.”

He turned around and left.

Gu Qingcheng was burning with rage. She glanced at the angry Qi Dehao.

She flung Qi Shaoze aside and turned to stop Huo Sicheng.

What was this?

Huo Sicheng had come uninvited, and Master Qi Dehao even warmly welcomed him.

But what about him?

Not only had he accused her of cheating on him, but he had also issued a challenge to the Qi family.

What was even more despicable was that he had implied something in his words just now, letting her make the choice.

If she left with him, he would let the Qi family off.

If she stayed, there would be no more Qi family in Jiang City.

He was threatening her!

“The Qi family’s assets are not in Jiang City. It’s unrealistic to fight with the Huo family.” At that moment, Qi Dehao looked deeply into Gu Qingcheng’s eyes. “The one who started it has to solve the problem. You have to solve the problem between you and Huo Sicheng.”

Qi Shaoze had never been threatened by anyone in his entire life. He was extremely indignant after being provoked by Huo Sicheng and hearing his grandfather admit defeat.

“Grandpa…”

“Shut up.” Qi Dehao interrupted Qi Shaoze in a low voice. “I know you’re close to Gu Qingcheng, but I’m not blind. I just saw Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng’s marriage certificate with my own eyes.”

He looked sharply at Gu Qingcheng and said firmly, “Before I retired, I saw with my own eyes that Huo Sicheng, who was not even fifteen years old at that time, was calm in the face of the storm. He made a group of rich and powerful people admit defeat obediently in front of him. I also watched him single-handedly save Huo Corporation, which was almost bankrupt. Although he was a man of few words, he would never act rashly.”

Gu Qingcheng had a violent personality, but she knew what was important and what was not.

Qi Dehao was right. The one who caused this mess had to fix it.

She had pretended to be Qi Shaoze’s boyfriend on a whim to force Huo Sicheng to agree to a divorce.

Now, it seemed that her last-minute decision was not only the worst way to achieve that, but it would also implicate the Qi family.

She and Qi Shaoze were like siblings, and the Qi family was her pillar of support. She simply couldn’t afford for Huo Sicheng to hurt the Qi family.

“Grandpa speaks the truth. I know what to do.” She humbly accepted the advice and said in surprise, “But I didn’t expect you to have such a high opinion of Huo Sicheng. It’s my first time hearing that he’s so powerful.”

Seeing how humble Gu Qingcheng was, Qi Dehao said to her affectionately, “Huo Sicheng managed to save Huo Corporation single-handedly. You think that he’s merely powerful because you don’t know him well. You don’t know how extraordinary he really is.”

Gu Qingcheng’s expression changed slightly. Qi Dehao had hit the nail on the head.

Yes, she didn’t know Huo Sicheng.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to get to know Huo Sicheng, but that he hadn’t given her a chance.

“Babe, don’t listen to my grandfather. I’ll deal with Huo Sicheng with you,” Qi Shaoze told Gu Qingcheng sternly.

“No.” Gu Qingcheng shook her head and warned Qi Shaoze in a firm tone, “I’ll handle the matter between Huo Sicheng and me. You’re not allowed to get involved.”

“It’s done.” Qi Dehao interrupted Qi Shaoze, who was about to speak. “Shaoze, Miss Gu has something to deal with. Stay here and explain to me about the relationship.”

“Grandpa, Shaoze has nothing to explain,” Gu Qingcheng took the initiative to say. “I forced him to pretend to be my boyfriend because of me. Don’t make things difficult for him.”

Qi Dehao admired Gu Qingcheng’s courage.

“You’re a good girl. The Qi family will be your second home from now on. If you need anything, just tell Shaoze. However, since you and Huo Sicheng have registered your marriage, no one else should be involved in the matters between husband and wife.

He paused for a moment before continuing, “A married couple needs to understand each other to survive. If they really can’t go on and want a divorce, they should sit down calmly and have a good talk instead of hurting each other.”

Gu Qingcheng accepted his advice humbly. “You’re right.”

She felt warm and fuzzy inside. After her mother had passed away, she grew up like an orphan. No one had taught her what to do and what not to do. She had to learn everything by herself.

Qi Dehao was really like her grandfather, teaching her how to handle things.

“It’s good that you can listen,” Qi Dehao chuckled. “But Shaoze still has to stay. I don’t blame him this time. I’m just discussing business with him.”

Gu Qingcheng understood and looked at Qi Shaoze assuredly. “I’ll be fine.”

Qi Shaoze was worried about Gu Qingcheng facing Huo Sicheng alone, and he knew that once she made up her mind, she wouldn’t listen to him no matter what he said.

“I think you’re more like a grandson in front of him,” He teased her on purpose. “Alright, go do your work. I’ll always be on standby for you, 24/7.”

Gu Qingcheng glared at Qi Shaoze and turned to leave.

Qi Dehao watched as Gu Qingcheng disappeared through the door. He sighed and looked at his grandson, Qi Shaoze.

“Some people’s love is just so strange and twisted. Some people pretend to be 100% in love. Some people love each other 100% but don’t admit to it.”

Surprised, Qi Shaoze looked at his grandfather, Qi Dehao, who was speaking in confusion, and asked, “Who are you talking about?”

Qi Dehao picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. “Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng.”

Qi Shaoze’s amorous eyes changed instantly, and he looked in the direction where Gu Qingcheng had disappeared.

At that moment, Gu Qingcheng walked out of the tea room. She looked up and saw Huo Sicheng sitting in a wheelchair not far away.

His back was facing her, and from that angle, he looked incredibly lonely.

She didn’t need to get close to him to feel the hopeless pain he was emitting.

She had never seen Huo Sicheng like that before.

He tried his best to straighten his back, carrying his pride. His lanky body surrounded the cold, ruthless aura that kept people a thousand miles away.

Huo Sicheng looked miserable, heartless, and lonely as if he was always suffering alone. He seemed to be surrounded by all emotions except happiness.

She didn’t know why, but her heart ached when she saw Huo Sicheng like this.

She didn’t go forward immediately. She just stared at him until he suddenly turned his head to look at her.

This made her heart tremble, and she quickly suppressed the emotions that she shouldn’t have revealed.

She shouldn’t have cared about Huo Sicheng. He was a scumbag.

Because of the distance, Gu Qingcheng didn’t see Huo Sicheng when he saw her. To him, she had chosen him, which made him happy.

However, he did not wait for Gu Qingcheng. Instead, he left before she walked towards him.

In the garage, Gu Qingcheng glanced at her car and realized that her car keys were still in Qi Shaoze’s room.

She couldn’t be bothered to turn around and get her car keys, so she walked to Huo Sicheng’s car.

He came to look for her to ask her to go back with him. It was not a problem for her to take his car.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng, Qing said respectfully, “Madam, please get in the car.”

“Don’t let her get in the car.” Huo Sicheng ordered Qing in a cold voice. The shadows in the car hid his expression, and the coldness around him revealed his anger. He warned Gu Qingcheng, “You’re not allowed in my car.”

Gu Qingcheng was furious. She sneered at Huo Sicheng and said, “So it’s an exclusive car, so you don’t want me to sit in it, right? Huo Sicheng, you’re so understanding and considerate.”

Huo Sicheng gritted his teeth. “Gu Qingcheng!”

“You’re such a kid!” Gu Qingcheng was not afraid of Huo Sicheng at all. “Kiddo, let me do it… Oh….”
