Chapter 12
Kneel and Open Your Mouth
When Chu He heard what Gu Qingcheng had said and saw what she was doing, an unprecedented sense of terror crept up her body like vines.
She thought that even if Gu Qingcheng knew that Gu Mei and Qin Jun were having an affair, as long as she could not produce any evidence, she could accuse Gu Qingcheng of being vicious and framing her own sister. Then, she could use Gu Tianhao to deal with her.
But she had never expected Gu Qingcheng to have video evidence in her hands.
Once the video was made public, her daughter, Gu Mei, would be finished for life.
No!
She would never allow that b*tch Gu Qingcheng to destroy her daughter, Gu Mei!
“Qingcheng, your father, and I don’t know about Mei and Qin Jun. Plus, Mei is your biological sister. She definitely won’t snatch your sister’s boyfriend away. Qin Jun must have coerced Mei into doing this.” She begged Gu Qingcheng, “If you release the video, it will ruin your sister. I beg you to let Mei go.
“Your father and I will definitely investigate this matter and bring you justice.”
Gu Qingcheng’s slender fingers paused. She didn’t press the post button immediately. Instead, she chuckled and said, “Everyone who came to the Gu family last night knows that my sister Gu Mei stole my boyfriend a few years ago! It was just that all of you kept me in the dark!”
“You know everything about Gu Mei like the back of your hand. How dare you shamelessly say that you and Gu Tianhao don’t know that Gu Mei and Qin Jun are together? It’s fine if you framed, beat, scolded, and pushed me down. In the video, Gu Mei insulted me herself. You heard it yourself, but you still lied through your teeth. You’re a vicious woman who lies endlessly.”
Chu He heard the truth from Gu Qingcheng, and she was even insulted. She was furious, and her face turned pale.
She had always played with people like a toy, and this was the first time she had been forced into a corner by Gu Qingcheng. She felt so aggrieved that she wanted to tear Gu Qingcheng into pieces!
However, for the sake of her daughter, she had no choice but to hold back her urge to kill Gu Qingcheng. She lowered her head and begged her.
As long as Gu Qingcheng didn’t release the video and let her daughter Gu Mei go, there would still be a chance to change things. She would make Gu Qingcheng kneel in front of her and beg for death!
Therefore, she had to endure it. Gu Mei was her everything. She had to protect her daughter.
“Qingcheng, your dad and I really don’t know about Mei and Qin Jun. Besides, how did I even frame you?” she explained to Gu Qingcheng. “I only cared about the peace in our family. I lowered my voice and advised you not to quarrel with your father. You hit, pushed, and scolded me, calling me a third-party meddler. These were all things you did to me. But how could you accuse me? I feel so wronged! Sob… sob… sob…”
She refused to admit that she knew about Qin Jun and her daughter, and Gu Qingcheng couldn’t do anything about it. As for Gu Tianhao, she had already made the first move. Even if Gu Tianhao, who loved her, knew about Qin Jun and Gu Mei, he would help her deny it.
In the next moment, she stole a glance at Gu Tianhao and saw that his face was gloomy. He no longer had the anger that she had provoked earlier. This was very disadvantageous to her.
She quickly pinched her thigh and forced herself to cry so that she looked innocent and miserable so that she could win Gu Tianhao’s pity.
Gu Tianhao saw his wife Chu He wailing. He felt pity for her, but he was also angry that Gu Qingcheng didn’t know what was good for her.
“Gu Qingcheng, your stepmom didn’t lie! She and I didn’t know that Mei and Qin Jun were together! Don’t mess around now. I’ll find out the truth and bring you justice.” He looked at Gu Qingcheng with a cold face. He was so focused on protecting his wife that he said, “I saw you push your stepmom with my own eyes! Don’t deny it!
“So, if you lower your head and apologize to her, I might just let this matter pass.”
Gu Qingcheng smiled. Her smile was as bright as a flower, but there was a hint of bitter hatred.
Look, this was her so-called biological father.
In his previous life, he had killed her for the inheritance. In this life, he still lied and hurt her to protect Chu He and her daughter.
However, it did not matter. Her relationship with Gu Tianhao had been extinguished from the moment she died. All that was left for him now was hate.
Now that she had the video of Gu Mei’s scandal in her hands and Chu He had faked a fall to frame her, these two things were enough for her to deal with them.
“Is it true that you saw it with your own eyes?” She sneered and looked at Chu He. “Chu He, why don’t we make a bet? If you can prove that I pushed you, I’ll immediately kneel down and kowtow to you to admit my mistake.
“If I prove that you fell, then you have to kneel down and kowtow to me three times before publicly apologizing.”
“Insolence!” Hearing Gu Qingcheng’s ridiculous request, Gu Tianhao roared, “I saw it with my own eyes. Apologize to your stepmom immediately!”
At that moment, a sinister glint flashed in Chu He’s eyes. Gu Qingcheng must have taken the recording earlier.
Gu Qingcheng’s phone was still in her bag then, so she definitely wouldn’t have recorded her fake fall.
The foolish Gu Qingcheng was certain she couldn’t prove that she had faked the fall, which was why she was so confident in her bet.
Gu Qingcheng was going to lose. She would make Gu Qingcheng understand that the older a person was, the wiser they would become. She wanted to see Gu Qingcheng kneel before her!
“Alright, I’ll bet with you.” She pretended to be in pain as she looked at Gu Qingcheng. ” Qingcheng, I hope you’ll consider this bet carefully. Once I show you the scars from hitting me, you will have no room for regret. For the sake of peace in our family, I don’t need you to kneel down and apologize to me. As long as you don’t release your sister’s video.”
“Cut the crap.” Gu Qingcheng couldn’t be bothered by Chu He’s act. “Show me the marks I made on you, and I’ll prove how I pushed you down.”
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng had fallen for her trick, Chu He’s eyes flashed viciously.
She pretended to be timid and looked at her husband, Gu Tianhao, for instructions. She wanted to show that Gu Qingcheng had forced her to reveal her wounds and that she was hesitating to hurt Gu Qingcheng for family peace.
Gu Tianhao looked at Chu He with heartache and nodded.
Gu Qingcheng took in the expressions on Chu He and Gu Tianhao’s faces. Her eyes were unfathomable, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
Everything was going according to her plan. She knew who would win or lose this bet better than Chu He!
Chu He raised her hand and opened her collar timidly. A nail scratch on her neck was shocking.
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Gu Tianhao, who was furious at her wound. Then, she lifted her skirt to reveal the bruise on her leg that seemed to have been caused by a fall.
Then, she opened her mouth wide and said, “You slapped me. My mouth is cut here.”
“Now that we have conclusive evidence, what else do you have to say!” Gu Tianhao glared at Gu Qingcheng. “Kneel!”
Gu Qingcheng didn’t kneel down. She looked at Chu He’s wound with shock and fear as if she hadn’t expected Chu He to prove that she had hit someone.
Chu He saw the look on Gu Qingcheng’s face, and her eyes were filled with the pride of a victor.
Gu Qingcheng was too inexperienced to fight with her!
The wound on her neck was from the night before, a result of her intimacy with Gu Tianhao.
As for the bruise on her leg, it was caused by her accident in the bathtub yesterday. The wound on her mouth was caused by her bite when she chewed during breakfast. Chu He couldn’t produce any evidence anyway, so these injuries were enough for her to frame Gu Qingcheng.
“Qingcheng, this is evidence that you pushed and hit me. But I said we are a family, and peace is the most important thing. You don’t have to kneel before me.” She pretended to back down, but in fact, she was trying to provoke Gu Qingcheng’s pride. “You’re the eldest daughter of the Gu family, after all. How can you kneel? You can’t afford to lose face, and you won’t kneel to me. I don’t need you to kneel either, so let’s forget about this. How about that?”
