Chapter 360: Slap His Face

Gu Qingcheng sat on the sofa beside the bed.
“Why can’t I come?” she asked Gu Tianhao, and then said with implied meaning, “I have already come once when you were unconscious.”
Gu Tianhao was startled, seemingly not expecting that Gu Qingcheng had already visited him once.
Chu He did not tell him about Gu Qingcheng’s visit.
Thinking of Chu He, he thought of Gu Qingcheng seizing power while he was unconscious and felt full of hatred for her.
But this hatred for Gu Qingcheng affected his internal organs, causing him to have a headache and body pain, making him feel like he didn’t want to live.
Gu Qingcheng, looking at Gu Tianhao’s painful expression, felt extremely relieved in her heart.
Pain.
Her despair, unwillingness, and pain before her death were a thousand times, ten thousand times worse than Gu Tianhao’s, all brought by him.
Now, she wanted to torture Gu Tianhao, to let him taste the pain and despair of a life worse than death.
Compared to physical pain, Gu Tianhao cared more about his Gu Corporation.
“Did you take over my corporation?”
“Take over? I didn’t take over your Gu Corporation. To be correct, I just temporarily acted as the chairman while you were unconscious,” Gu Qingcheng looked at Gu Tianhao in surprise, “And it wasn’t me acting temporarily, because I don’t know how to do business. I was worried about messing up and causing losses, so I let Huo Sicheng temporarily handle the corporate affairs. You definitely won’t lose anything.”
Hearing this, Gu Tianhao knew that Chu He’s words were true, and he was furious.
“You… how could you go to Gu Corporation while I was unconscious!” he angrily looked at Gu Qingcheng, “Even letting Huo Sicheng become the chairman, you… you…”
“Why can’t I go to Gu Corporation?” Gu Qingcheng calmly asked Gu Tianhao, “As the eldest daughter of the Gu family, with you, my father, seriously injured and unconscious, the corporation can’t be left leaderless. Naturally, I had to step in to protect it and prevent others from seizing power.”
If Gu Tianhao wasn’t on oxygen, he would have died of anger listening to her reasonable words.
Gu Oingcheng was his daughter, but their father-daughter relationship had always been strained.
Now that he was down, Gu Qingcheng openly used her status as the eldest daughter to take over his Gu Corporation. How could he not be angry?
He hadn’t yet received the much-desired inheritance from Gu Qingcheng, and he had already lost his corporation.
Gu Qingcheng was detestable!
“Even if something happened to me, there are Qin Chong and Chu He,” he said. Gu Qingcheng interrupted Gu Tianhao before he could finish, implying something.
“I hope you know that even brothers must settle accounts clearly. Qin Chong is from the Qin family and doesn’t have the Gu surname. How could Gu Corporation be casually handed over to Qin Chong? You have family members; if something happened to you, naturally your family should step in and inquire about corporate affairs.”
She added, “As for Chu He, whom you mentioned, she is a Mrs. Gu raised in your house, pampered and ignorant of corporate affairs. So, as your eldest daughter, and with my lack of business knowledge, it’s most appropriate to hand it over to your son-in-law, Huo Sicheng.”
Listening to Gu Qingcheng, Gu Tianhao was furious.
He couldn’t say a word, knowing that what Gu Oingcheng said was true.
Damn it!
How could he have fallen down the stairs at such a critical moment!
Now when he thinks of falling down the stairs, he still doesn’t know who pushed him.
Gu Oingcheng, seeing Gu Tianhao’s frustrated expression, felt her earlier anger and irritation disappear, her lips curving up, enjoying the feeling of humiliating Gu Tianhao.
“Our deal still stands,” she said lazily, leaning on the sofa looking at Gu Tianhao, “After you divorce Chu He, according to our agreement, I’ll give you the inheritance. So don’t worry, I’ve said I only hate Chu He. I won’t hurt you or take away your corporation.”
Gu Tianhao had never trusted Gu Oingcheng, otherwise he wouldn’t have written the inheritance contract with her as a mere verbal agreement.
So, with all his anger listening to Gu Qingcheng’s words, he still didn’t believe her, thinking she was just pretending, making him feel disgusted.
Before he fell from the building, Huo Sicheng was already suppressing Gu Corporation everywhere. His business was already difficult, and the corporation was losing money.
Now that he was in the ICU, Huo Sicheng, his former enemy, was sitting in his office managing his corporation. He knew well that his corporation was completely doomed.
There are so many confidential documents in the corporation. As chairman, Huo Sicheng could access all the documents of Gu Corporation. In name, Huo Sicheng was the acting chairman, but in reality, he had already taken over Gu Corporation.
Even if he recovered now, it’d be useless. Gu Corporation hds completely fallen into Huo Sicheng’s hands.
And the person who let Huo Sicheng take over Gu Corporation was none other than Gu Qingcheng.
He would rather hand over Gu Corporation to Chu He, a brainless woman, or let Qin Chong help with corporate affairs, than let Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng get the corporation.
Now it’s too late. Huo Sicheng got Gu Corporation, which meant Gu Qingcheng got it.
Seeing how Huo Sicheng obediently doted on Gu Qingcheng, if she asked for the stars in the sky, Huo Sicheng would try to pluck them for her.
He glared at Gu Oingcheng, watching her calm demeanor, hating her so much he wanted to tear her to pieces.
Despicable Gu Qingcheng, she keeps saying she’s a member of the Gu family, but then she hands over Gu Corporation to Huo Sicheng, a man with the surname Huo.
She really was a traitorous wretch!
Gu Qingcheng saw the change in Gu Tianhao’s expression and her smile grew wider.
She loved seeing Gu Tianhao hate her, yet powerless against her.
However, she wouldn’t let Gu Tianhao off so easily. This drama had been proceeding according to her plan from the beginning, although now with the added event of Gu Tianhao falling down the stairs, it didn’t disrupt her calculations.
“Now, focus on recovering. Once you’re healed, I’ll have Sicheng leave Gu Corporation, and you can personally handle the corporation’s affairs.”
Hearing Gu Qingcheng’s light words, Gu Tianhao was so angry he almost passed out.
Gu Corporation was already in Huo Sicheng’s hands; what use was his recovery?
This wretch Gu Qingcheng had given his life’s work to Huo Sicheng. As the head of the Gu family, he now had to live at the mercy of Gu Qingcheng.
He couldn’t help but think of Qin Chong, who lived at the mercy of Huo Sicheng.
Now he also had to live depending on Gu Qingcheng’s mood, finally understanding Qin Chong’s indescribable frustration.
Hatred.
He deeply hated Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng!
Seeing Gu Tianhao silent, Gu Qingcheng said meaningfully, “By the way, how did you fall from the building? You know it was from the sixth floor. You’re lucky to be only seriously injured; otherwise, you could have died.. After calling me that night, did you go drinking and fall down? Or were you pushed?”
