Chapter 305: Huo Sicheng stood up
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Tianhao knew he couldn’t anger Gu Qingcheng.
But he wasn’t foolish either. Gu Qingcheng verbally promised to give him the inheritance, but if he divorced and she reneged, he would be left with nothing.
“I hope you won’t be angry with what Dad is about to say.”
Seeing Gu Tianhao’s expression, Gu Qingcheng knew what he wanted.
“Go ahead.”
Gu Tianhao looked steadily at Gu Qingcheng for a while, then said, “I will divorce Chu He and let Gu Mei leave the Gu family, but only if you give me a promise. This promise can’t just be verbal; it needs to be a concrete assurance.” Gu Qingcheng thought for a moment, “Let Huo Sicheng be the guarantor.”
“No,” Gu Tianhao immediately refused, “We can have a written contract.” Huo Sicheng as a guarantor?
Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng were husband and wife, surely in cahoots. He wouldn’t give her the chance to take advantage!
Only if Gu Qingcheng was willing to sign a transaction contract with him would he have the confidence to divorce.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t divorce and lose everything just on Gu Qingcheng’s word.
Gu Qingcheng saw through Gu Tianhao’s thoughts, “Okay, a written contract it is. I will draft it, and you’ll sign it when the time comes.”
When Gu Tianhao heard Gu Qingcheng say this, he fully trusted her.
Because with the contract in hand, if Gu Qingcheng didn’t give him the inheritance, he wouldn’t divorce.
“Alright,” he said joyfully, “Let’s handle this matter first after we go down the
mountain.”
He had to strike while the iron was hot and not give Gu Qingcheng time to change her mind after consulting with Huo Sicheng.
Huo Sicheng certainly wouldn’t want Gu Qingcheng to give him the inheritance, considering its immense value. He would want it too.
To avoid complications, he wished he could conjure a contract on the spot for Gu Qingcheng to sign.
Gu Qingcheng: “Okay.”
Gu Tianhao beamed, looking at Gu Qingcheng affectionately, “Good daughter, since we’ve agreed, let’s go find Sicheng and your cousin Qin Chong. They must be done talking by now.”
Gu Qingcheng: “Okay.”
Gu Tianhao and Gu Qingcheng went to Huo Sicheng and Qin Chong.
Gu Qingcheng immediately sensed a strange atmosphere between Huo Sicheng and Qin Chong.
She didn’t ask what Huo Sicheng and Qin Chong talked about, just said: “It’s getting late, let’s go down the mountain. There are many resentful and evil spirits here at night, it’s easy to encounter ghosts.”
Gu Qingcheng’s mention of ghosts made Qin Chong and Gu Tianhao’s faces change instantly.
Qin Chong subconsciously looked at Huo Sicheng’s parents’ tombstone, trembling as if he’d seen a ghost.
“Let’s go, we should hurry.”
Gu Tianhao, because of Gu Qingcheng’s mention of resentful spirits, involuntarily looked towards the burial place of Mu Xia, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
“Let’s go, Ah Chong, Sicheng, Qingcheng, we need to leave immediately.”
Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng noticed the expressions of Qin Chong and Gu Tianhao.
Suddenly, her hand was grasped. She stiffened and turned to see Huo Sicheng holding her hand, his phoenix eyes gazing at her tenderly. She held his hand back and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Huo Sicheng’s thin lips parted, his voice soft: “Nothing.”
Gu Qingcheng said to Huo Sicheng, “Let’s go down the mountain.” “Okay,” Huo Slcheng replied.
The four of them, each with different thoughts, got off the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Gu Tianhao hurriedly said to Gu Qingcheng,
“Qingcheng, ride with me.”
After finishing, he hinted, “Don’t forget what we just talked about.”
Gu Qingcheng’s gaze fell on Chu He inside the car, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.
“I’ll ride with Sicheng, let’s meet at the mall at the foot of the mountain.” She approached Gu Tianhao and whispered, “Don’t worry, no one else knows about our deal.”
Gu Tianhao immediately understood that Gu Qingcheng wouldn’t tell Huo Sicheng about the contract.
“Okay, we’ll meet at the mall at the foot of the mountain.”
After Gu Qingcheng nodded, she turned to Huo Sicheng, “Let’s not take the helicopter, ride in my car.”
“You ride in my car,” Huo Sicheng’s voice was soft, “My wheelchair won’t fit in your car.”
Gu Qingcheng glanced at A Qing standing beside the car and agreed, “Okay, I’ll ride in your car.”
Gu Tianhao stood watching Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng leave.
“Tianhao,” Qin Chong called out to Gu Tianhao, “I need to talk to you for a moment.”
Gu Tianhao was anxious, “Can it wait? I have urgent matters to handle.”
“Your urgency can’t match mine,” Qin Chong coughed twice, “Just hear me out.”
Gu Tianhao, seeing Qin Chong’s anxious demeanor, looked in the direction Gu
Qingcheng left and told Qin Chong, “Get in the car, we’ll talk there.” “No way!” Qin Chong refused, “I need to talk to you alone.”
Gu Tianhao’s brows furrowed slightly as he glanced at Chu He, who was craning her neck to eavesdrop on his conversation with Qin Chong.
Startled by Gu Tianhao’s gaze, Chu He shivered and quickly took out her phone, pretending to be occupied with it.
Left with no choice, Gu Tianhao moved to a spot not too far away.
“What’s so urgent? I’m really in a rush.”
Qin Chong asked Gu Tianhao, “Tianhao, do you know that Sicheng is not handicapped?”
Gu Tianhao was stunned, not comprehending, “What do you mean ‘not handicapped’?”
“Huo Sicheng!” Qin Chong emphasized seriously, “He’s not handicapped!”
Gu Tianhao, thinking of Huo Sicheng sitting in a wheelchair, impatiently gawked at Qin Chong.
“What nonsense are you talking about! Didn’t you see Huo Sicheng in front of us just now? Didn’t you see him sitting in the wheelchair? Even if you’re blind, you should know he’s been handicapped since childhood.”
Qin Chong, ignoring Gu Tianhao’s impatience, could see that Gu Tianhao was truly in a hurry.
“He stood up in front of me after you and Gu Qingcheng left.”
Gu Tianhao, preoccupied with Gu Qingcheng, almost chose to ignore Qin Chong’s words.
“Stood up? What do you mean?”
“Tianhao!” Qin Chong raised his voice, “Can you stop thinking about your urgent matters and talk to me seriously for a moment!”
Startled by Qin Chong’s shout, Gu Tianhao paused, then carefully considered Qin Chong’s words, his eyes widening in shock.
“What… what did you say?” He looked incredulously at Qin Chong, “Huo Sicheng stood up? Isn’t he handicapped? How can he stand?”
Qin Chong, seeing Gu Tianhao finally taking him seriously, clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, his teeth grinding.
“He’s been faking his handicap!” he said through clenched teeth, “He’s been pretending to be handicapped since childhood, he can stand, he’s deceived all of us!”
Gu Tianhao’s mind buzzed, no longer filled with thoughts of Gu Qingcheng but of Huo Sicheng faking his handicap.
“Why… why would he pretend to be handicapped?”
Qin Chong hinted, “Huo Sicheng knows the whole truth about his parents’ death in the car accident!”
Gu Tianhao’s pupils shrank noticeably, “What…. what did you say? He knows the truth about his parents’ death?”
