Huo Sicheng softly told Gu Qingcheng, “Gu Tianhao knows that Chu He wants a life of wealth and luxury, but he became Chu He’s long-term sponsor for the sake of your mother.”
Gu Qingcheng’s face stiffened.
Her mother, Mu Xia?
Why was her mother being brought up again?
Seeing the change in Gu Qingcheng’s expression, Huo Sicheng’s eyes filled with sorrow.
He knew his words had reminded her of Mu Xia, and he tightened his arms around her.
“Qingcheng… ”
Feeling the slight force in Huo Sicheng’s embrace, Gu Qingcheng found comfort in the sense of protection he offered.
“Mhm, I’m here.” She calmed the sadness arising from the memories of Mu Xia and gently looked at Huo Sicheng, saying, “I’m fine, continue telling me why Gu Tianhao married Chu He for my mother’s sake.”
Huo Sicheng gazed affectionately at Gu Qingcheng for a moment. Seeing her sad mood ease, he softly said, “Gu Tianhao’s marriage to your mother was forced by his grandfather. He was dissatisfied with this marriage from the start. So, when your mother fell ill and was hospitalized, he stayed with Chu He until your mother passed away. His immediate marriage to Chu He after the funeral was to spite his grandfather.”
Gu Qingcheng couldn’t find the words to reply.
So, Gu Tianhao married Chu He right after his mother’s funeral to anger his grandfather.
Huo Sicheng, with a complex look in his eyes, told Gu Qingcheng, “It was a win-win situation. Gu Tianhao married Chu He to infuriate his grandfather, and Chu He naturally married into a wealthy family, becoming Mrs. Gu and leading a rich life from then on.”
“So, my mother was the one tragically abandoned and angered to death,” Gu Qingcheng thought of Mu Xia’s pitiful marriage, feeling a surge of heat in her eyes and a mix of unwillingness and anger in her heart. “No, my mother wasn’t the fool; she just married the wrong person. Huo Sicheng, marrying the wrong person is a very frightening thing for a woman.”
Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s distress, Huo Sicheng gently patted her slender back to comfort her.
“Qingcheng, you haven’t married the wrong person,” he said firmly and seriously, “Choosing me is the right decision. I will never betray you, never let you think you married the wrong person.”
Hearing Huo Sicheng’s words, the sadness and grief Gu Qingcheng felt for her mother, Mu Xia, were warmed by his words.
“Silly, I of course know choosing you is right because I’m sure I haven’t married the wrong person,” she smiled tenderly at him, speaking clearly, “But I can’t be sure you haven’t betrayed me, especially since there’s still Miss Li whose true situation you haven’t revealed to me.”
The mention of Miss Li caused a flash in Huo Sicheng’s eyes.
Seeing the change in Huo Sicheng’s eyes, Gu Qingcheng knew she wasn’t wrong.
Miss Li’s identity must be extraordinary; otherwise, Huo Sicheng wouldn’t have remained silent about her until now.
“Right, you’ve finished talking about Chu He, what about Bai Si?” She changed the topic to continue asking Huo Sicheng, to avoid conflict over Miss Li.
Huo Sicheng knew Gu Qingcheng was changing the topic. He couldn’t answer her question about Miss Li.
Thus, he followed her lead and told her, “You know Bai Si’s family background clearly. The Bai family and the Gu family had business dealings in the past. She and Gu Tianhao have known each other since they were young. Gu Tianhao wanted to marry Bai Si the most but was forced to marry your mother, Mu Xia. After Gu Tianhao’s marriage, heartbroken Bai Si married Qin Chong.”
“Ah…” Gu Qingcheng exclaimed, stunned.
In a moment, she finally understood why she witnessed such a disheartening scene in the hospital. It turned out that Bai Si indeed had feelings for Gu Tianhao, and Qin Chong was always Chu He’s financial backer, with ongoing ties between them.
“I…” she stammered, “This is outrageous… Auntie Bai Si is such a nice person, why would grandfather prevent Gu Tianhao from marrying Bai Si? I can understand if grandfather prevented the marriage with Chu He, but why Bai Si, the Bai family’s daughter?”
It was precisely because the grandfather prevented Gu Tianhao from marrying Bai Si that her mother, Mu Xia, ended up marrying him, leading to this series of tragedies.
Could it be that the grandfather, realizing his mistake and feeling remorseful, left her the inheritance?
Huo Sicheng replied, “Grandfather didn’t like the Bai family, so he stopped Gu
Tianhao from marrying Bai Si.”
‘ Gu Qingcheng was dumbfounded. “Disliking them, such a convenient excuse,” she managed to mutter.
After a pause, she stared at Huo Sicheng for a while before saying, “How do you know so much about these details?”
Huo Sicheng answered, “I’ve done my research.”
Gu Qingcheng asked Huo Sicheng, “Why did you research these things?” Huo Sicheng replied, “I looked into Qin Chong and ended up researching everyone.”
“Everyone…” Gu Qingcheng mulled over these words, “Including me?”
Huo Sicheng smiled softly, “Do I need to research you? Since the day I met you, I’ve always been by your side, no need to research you.”
Listening to Huo Sicheng, Gu Qingcheng showed a happy and blissful smile.
In her life, she knew Huo Sicheng had always been by her side, understanding her inside out. Even her daily conflicts with him since her rebirth were within his expectations, let alone other matters.
After all, she had lived for many years by winning his money in underground boxing matches. He had been by her side, supporting her for so many years.
“Cut it out,” she feigned annoyance, “If you know everything about me, I have no secrets, how boring.” freewebn ovel.com
Huo Sicheng shook his head, “You have secrets because I can only see, but can’t guess what’s in your heart.”
“Nonsense,” Gu Qingcheng pouted, “You clearly know what I’m thinking in many situations; I’m completely figured out by you.”
Huo Sicheng asked, “Unhappy about being figured out?”
Gu Qingcheng replied, “Unhappy, because I like to figure you out, not to be figured out by you.”
Huo Sicheng chuckled deeply, lifting Gu Qingcheng’s chin with his fingertip, looking into her eyes, and speaking clearly, “Wanting to figure me out is easy. From the first time we met, I promised you, so with just a word from you, I’ll lie down for you.”
Gu Qingcheng, looking into Huo Sicheng’s passionate and loving eyes, felt her heart flutter and her cheeks blush.
“You’re talking nonsense again. Our first meeting was at school, and we didn’t even speak a word to each other that day. Where did you get this promise from, and what did you promise?”
Huo Sicheng gazed at Gu Qingcheng, his expression growing tender and affectionate, his voice deep, “Our first meeting wasn’t at school.”
Gu Qingcheng was startled, “Not at school?”
Huo Sicheng confirmed, “No, not at school.”
“That’s impossible.” Gu Qingcheng thought hard and confidently told Huo Sicheng, “Our first meeting was at school. That day Qin Jun introduced you to me, and that was the first time I saw you.”
Huo Sicheng gently shook his head, “That wasn’t our first time.”
Gu Qingcheng was puzzled, unable to recall where else she might have met Huo Sicheng.
“If not at school, where else?” she asked Huo Sicheng, “Tell me, where did we first meet?”
