Chapter 192: Discovering Huo Sicheng’s Secret
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Gu Qingcheng heard Huo Sicheng’s voice, she shuddered.
She subconsciously looked at Huo Sicheng and saw him sitting in a wheelchair. His expression was unclear, and his phoenix eyes were staring at her gloomily.
This…
She saw Huo Sicheng’s car drive away with her own eyes. Why was he here?
How awl«vard.
She couldn’t tell Huo Sicheng the secret between her and her son because her son had asked her to sneak over to avoid being discovered by Huo Sicheng.
However, if she told Huo Sicheng to deal with the matter and returned to the villa to enter Huo Sicheng’s study, not only would he think that she was lying to him, but she would also be accused of stealing secrets.
Oh no!
Huo Sicheng stared deeply into Gu Qingcheng’s eyes and asked in a low voice,
“Did you find what you were looking for?”
“Uh…” Gu Qingcheng smiled awkwardly and closed the drawer behind her. She tried to remain calm and said, “I didn’t find him.’
She really couldn’t find it, but she did find a secret that belonged to Huo Sicheng.
“Is that so?” Huo Sicheng wheeled himself over to Gu Qingcheng. “Which drawer did you open just now?”
Gu Qingcheng pursed her lips. She wanted to cry, but there were no tears. She also wanted to run away without saying anything.
Huo Sicheng’s anger was hard to read, and the more he behaved like this, the more she panicked.
She muttered, “The child’s heart is bitter.”
“I asked you which drawer you opened.” Huo Sicheng stared at Gu Qingcheng. “Which one?”
“I didn’t open any of them.” Gu Qingcheng took a deep breath and met Huo Sicheng’s eyes. “Not yet,” she added.
Huo Sicheng opened the first drawer. “This?”
Gu Qingcheng pursed her lips. “I told you I didn’t have time.”
Huo Sicheng opened the second drawer as if he hadn’t heard her. “This?”
Gu Qingcheng had wanted to lie, but Huo Sicheng’s pressure was getting stronger and stronger, which meant that he was angry.
However, she couldn’t tell him where the third drawer was. After all, the third drawer contained the things her son had told her. Once she opened it and whispered to Huo Xuan in the morning, Huo Sicheng would definitely find out that Huo Xuan had let her into the study.
After weighing the pros and cons, she raised her hand to open the second drawer on the other side and said, “Alright, I admit that I lied just now. In fact, I opened this drawer.”
“So you have your own thoughts about me ruining Gu Tianhao’s villa project.”
Huo Sicheng took out a document from his drawer and handed it to Gu Qingcheng. “This is your house. If you can’t find the document you want, you can tell me. You don’t have to be so secretive.”
Gu Qingcheng’s expression froze. Gu Tianhao’s villa project?
Huo Sicheng wanted to ruin Gu Tianhao’s project.
Her surname was Gu. Although she had broken off with Gu Tianhao, she was still Gu Tianhao’s daughter in name. F*ck!
She casually opened an incredible drawer.
Huo Sicheng gave her the document calmly, but he said that she had become a thief for Gu Tianhao.
She wished she could skin Gu Tianhao alive. She definitely wouldn’t steal the documents to help Gu Tianhao.
“No, you misunderstood me.” She quickly explained, “I’m not here to take this villa project. I won’t help Gu Tianhao either…”
Huo Sicheng looked at the anxious Gu Qingcheng and asked, “”lf you’re not here for this document, then what are you here for?”
Gu Qingcheng’s voice stopped abruptly. She was rendered speechless by Huo Sicheng’s question.
If it wasn’t for the documents, why did she leave the villa and come back to his study?
She never thought that Huo Sicheng would catch her, so she didn’t even think of an excuse.
For the first time in her life, she felt so hopeless and wronged.
She just wanted to help her son, Huo Xuan, get something. Why did she run into Huo Sicheng?
Huo Sicheng waited for Gu Qingcheng for a while, but she didn’t say a word.
“Take it.”
Gu Qingcheng put her hands behind her back. “No, I don’t want this file.”
“Then what do you want?” Huo Sicheng asked.
Gu Qingcheng refused to answer Huo Sicheng. “Nothing.”
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng for a while, then placed the document about Gu Tianhao’s project in front of her.
He took out a detailed document about the Qin Group’s development of new energy vehicles from the drawer and pressed the wheelchair button to go to the door.
“Don’t drive red when you go out in the future.”
Huo Sicheng’s words made Gu Qingcheng want to cry. She was driving a red sports car today, and it was parked by the roadside.
Huo Sicheng had his back to Gu Qingcheng and said in a low voice, didn’t come back specially to catch you. I was just too excited when you gave me the watch today, so I forgot to bring the documents about the Qin Corporation to the corporation. I came back to get the document because I remembered it midway. I didn’t do it to embarrass you.” After saving that, he left the studv.
Gu Qingcheng believed what Huo Sicheng said.
When she gave him the watch, he was so happy that she could even feel the joy he exuded when he left.
All of a sudden, she had mixed feelings. Lying to him was really bad behavior.
“Hubby…”
She quickly ran out, but Huo Sicheng was no longer in the corridor.
It seemed that her legs were not as fast as his wheelchair.
She took out her phone and called Huo Sicheng.
Usually, he would pick up her calls in seconds, but today, he did not pick up.
She opened WeChat and sent him a message, [Hubby, I’m sorry. Can you answer the phone?] (Pitiful emoji)
However, there was no response from her WeChat and he did not reply to her.
She called him five times in a row, but he didn’t answer even once.
“Sigh…”
She was at her wit’s end.
Since Huo Sicheng was angry, she couldn’t let him be angry for nothing. She went back to the study and opened the third drawer. She found the box her son had asked her to take.
However, there was a box at the top of the third drawer. She opened it with a complicated expression and her heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife. “Huo Sicheng, why are you treating me like this? You really…”
Her face was pale, and she put the box back where it was. She instantly knew that her son, Huo Xuan, had used a trick to let her sneak into the study and find out Huo Sicheng’s secret.
It was very sad. The pain felt like her whole body was pierced by fine needles. The dense pain made it difficult for her to breathe.
She stood in the study for a long time before she finally left.
Originally, she would go to the lawyer’s office to sign after she got her son’s things. However, she would not deal with these matters for the time being.
Huo Corporation.
Chu Yu was reporting to Huo Sicheng about the company’s affairs.
Huo Sicheng, who was sitting behind a large desk, looked like he was reading a document, but in fact, it was not the case.
Chu Yu scratched his head, not understanding what had happened. The last time President Huo saw Gu Qingcheng and Qi Shaoze together, he wasn’t as distracted as he was today.
That day in the room, when Gu Mei drugged President Huo, he almost died on the bed.
He had seen Gu Qingcheng’s terrified face when she swore.
Ever since that incident, Gu Qingcheng’s temper had been very good. She never quarreled with Mr. Huo again. Every day, Mr. Huo was happy, and so was his
assistant.
Today, President Huo was back to his old self. He was a little curious as to what Gu Qingcheng had done to upset him.
“Hubby.” Gu Qingcheng pushed the door open and entered. Her eyes locked onto her husband, and she said to Chu Yu, “Chu Yu, go out first.”
Chu Yu was wondering what Gu Qingcheng had done this time, but he didn’t expect her to come. He left quickly.
Gu Qingcheng walked up to Huo Sicheng and began to place the items on the table.
Huo Sicheng looked at the things that Gu Qingcheng had placed on the table and frowned.. “What are you doing?”
