Chapter 42: Marry Ji Sisi
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Sicheng was visibly shaken by Gu Qingcheng’s words. There was a flood of emotions in his eyes.
Chu Yu was rushing to the living room with some documents, and when he saw Gu Qingcheng in the living room, he stopped in his tracks and stood on the second floor to watch the scene unfold.
He could see President Huo’s emotions and the changes in Gu Qingcheng’s expression.
In the end, he locked his gaze on Ji Sisi.
Suddenly, he realized something and looked at Huo Sicheng in shock.
Mr. Zhao was just about to walk into the living room with the fever medicine when he heard Gu Qingcheng’s words.
He was surprised at first, then a smile appeared on his face, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
It was great that Gu Qingcheng finally knew her place and gave up her position as the Huo family’s matriarch.
He could serve anyone in his life, but he would never serve this unruly Gu Qingcheng.
His young master, Huo Sicheng, would at least marry a well-educated girl like Ji Sisi, not a wicked woman like Gu Qingcheng.
Ji Sisi, who was sitting next to Huo Sicheng, was also stunned. She sensed that President Huo was not only angry but also possessed some emotions that she could not explain.
The wrath that erupted from President Huo made it difficult for her to breathe. Her entire body was drenched in a cold sweat, and she was so afraid that she could not stop trembling.
Gu Qingcheng laughed at herself.
She had used all her strength to tell Huo Sicheng about the divorce, but he ignored her and didn’t even respond.
What was this?
Since he liked Ji Sisi so much, he should have agreed to her taking the initiative to give up her position as the matriarch of the Huo family instead of keeping silent.
What did he mean by their marriage was not a divorce but a widowed wife?
She took his words seriously. He was just saying it casually.
Oh well.
She was tired.
“Don’t protect me in the future. I’ll settle my own matters. You don’t have to do anything unnecessary.” She took a deep breath and said calmly, “Get Chu Yu to prepare the divorce papers and send them to my house. I’ll sign them.”
After saying that, she straightened her back and emitted a powerful aura, like a queen leaving.
Chu Yu became anxious when he heard this. He hurriedly said, “Madam…”
His voice didn’t stop Gu Qingcheng from walking. He looked at Huo Sicheng anxiously.
“President Huo, go and stop Madam.”
He didn’t like Gu Qingcheng, but he surely didn’t hate her.
It was better to tear down ten churches than one marriage.
He had wanted to break up the marriage between President Huo and Gu Qingcheng because Gu Qingcheng had hurt President Huo in the past.
However, when Gu Qingcheng finally agreed to the divorce, as witness of her marriage to President Huo, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Even an outsider like him felt so bad, let alone President Huo.
Gu Qingcheng wasn’t the best woman around, but it wasn’t the first time she’d caused a scene.
She had hurt President Huo for so many years though he had never done anything to her. This meant that she was irreplaceable in his heart.
This was also the reason why President Huo was still holding back when he saw her hugging other men time and time again.
Mr. Huo loved Gu Qingcheng. He loved her so deeply that he didn’t care about his own safety. He would rather hurt himself than let her suffer.
Only President Huo could maintain such a deep and reserved love in the entire Jiang City for decades.
“President Huo, please go and get Madam back.” He went up to Huo Sicheng and pleaded, “Have a good talk with Madam. There’s always a solution.”
Chu Yu calling Gu Qingcheng ‘Madam’ stunned Ji Sisi, who was now almost scared to death by Huo Sicheng’s anger.
Could it be…
Was Gu Qingcheng really married to President Huo?
“Mr. Chu.” Mr. Zhao immediately stepped forward. “This is the young master’s private affair, and you are merely an assistant in charge of the group’s work.
Do not overstep your boundaries.”
Faced with Mr. Zhao’s accusations, Chu Yu knew he was in the wrong. He was choked, speechless.
Mr. Zhao stepped forward and said to Ji Sisi lovingly, “Miss Ji is very compatible with Young Master, so he should marry her.”
Then, he held Ji Sisi’s hand, and it was obvious that he wanted to place it on the back of Huo Sicheng’s so that their hands would be intertwined.
Seeing this, Chu Yu’s eyes were filled with shock. He snatched Ji Sisi’s hand away from Mr. Zhao.
“What are you waiting for? Go home,” he warned Ji Sisi with a sharp look.
That day in Huo Corporation’s office, Ji Sisi had placed her hand on President Huo’s shoulder. After that, President Huo took off his clothes and threw them on the floor, clearly showing his disdain for Ji Sisi.
He was sure that President Huo would have broken her arm if Gu Qingcheng hadn’t been there.
If he didn’t stop Mr. Zhao now, her hand would definitely be broken by President Huo in his rage.
Gu Qingcheng was the only woman who had ever touched Huo Sicheng.
At this moment, Ji Sisi’s mind was buzzing, and her mind was in a mess. However, after she was warned by Chu Yu, she left the living room in a panic.
“Mr. Chu!” Mr. Zhao was very dissatisfied with Chu Yu’s action of stopping him.
“This is Wanmei Villa, not Huo Corporation. You have no say here!”
Chu Yu knew that Mr. Zhao was angry that he had stood up to him like that. He knew he had gone too far since the villa was under Mr. Zhao’s jurisdiction.
He didn’t want to interfere further, but everyone was doing this for President Huo’s sake.
“Shut up!” Huo Sicheng’s anger grew even more intense. “Both of you have no say.”
Mr. Zhao saw the endless anger in Huo Sicheng’s eyes, and his face instantly turned pale and embarrassed.
“Young Master, I’m doing this for your own good. You…”
“Stop using my name for your selfishness!” Huo Sicheng snapped.
Mr. Zhao’s entire body trembled as he felt the fierce and ruthless aura from his young master. He was so scared that he did not dare to speak.
“I told you to throw away the present,” Huo Sicheng said to Mr. Zhao. “Yet you gave it to Gu Qingcheng!”
Mr. Zhao felt helpless and regretful.
He had no choice but to give Gu Qingcheng the gift that his young master had prepared for her, as he didn’t want his young master to be sad.
As for regret, he should have listened to his young master obediently and not made the decision on his own
“Don’t think I don’t know what you and Chu Yu are thinking!” Huo Sicheng glared at Mr. Zhao. “From now on, you are not allowed to appear in the villa without my permission!”
Mr. Zhao was shocked. He had never thought that his young master would chase him away because of Gu Qingcheng.
He opened his mouth several times but knew he was in the wrong. He left feeling hurt and wronged.
Beads of cold sweat rolled down Chu Yu’s forehead. Mr. Zhao had been chased away, and he was in a precarious situation.
However, he didn’t think he was wrong in dealing with Gu Qingcheng.
He handed the divorce papers to President Huo a few days ago. Not only had President Huo not divorced Gu Qingcheng, but he had also suddenly gotten together with Ji Sisi, who had nothing to do with him.
His goal was to hurt Gu Qingcheng and force her to divorce him.
Why did President Huo force Gu Qingcheng to initiate a divorce? It was because he loved her too deeply and he was too patient. He couldn’t bring himself to initiate a divorce.
Because President Huo would definitely hurt Gu Qingcheng if he asked for a divorce.
Mr. Huo had never wanted to hurt Gu Qingcheng. He had always been the one to suffer alone.
Now that she had taken the initiative to ask for a divorce, everything had gone as he had hoped. He had finally gotten rid of Gu Qingcheng, the woman who had schemed to bring down Huo Corporation.
However, seeing President Huo in pain, he did not want to see a divorce. He also believed that President Huo was not willing to get one.
Someone had to find a way out for President Huo, and it could only be him.
“President Huo, Madam is actually a good person. She’s also straightforward.
She…”
“Get lost!”
Chu Yu’s voice stopped abruptly.
Not only did President Huo tell him to get lost, but he also looked at him as if he was telling him that if he said another word, he would tear him into pieces.
He rolled out of the living room and let out a long sigh. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, only to realize that his hands were trembling in fear.
A thought appeared in his mind. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and left Wanmei Villa.
Gu Qingcheng’s head was muddled. She didn’t know how she had returned to the clouds.
She had a splitting headache, but it was not as painful as her heart.
Damned Huo Sicheng.
Damned Huo Sicheng!
She rarely drank, and didn’t know how to either. However, she needed alcohol to numb her today. Thus, after drinking so much, not only did she have a headache, but she also felt dizzy.
“What are you doing here?” She looked at Chu Yu, standing at the door in a daze. Then, she reached out to him. “Give it to me. I said I’ll sign the divorce papers.”
The pungent stench of alcohol surprised Chu Yu. He was shocked that Gu Qingcheng had drunk so much.
“Madam, I didn’t bring the divorce papers.” As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Gu Qingcheng was about to close the door and tell him to get lost. He quickly raised his hand to block the door. “Madam, President Huo lied to you. He hasn’t been honest with you.. Can you listen to me on his behalf?”
