Chapter 59: Jealousy; Public Marriage
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before Principal Dong could say a word, she had been scolded by Huo Xuan’s mother.
She had been the principal for so many years and had seen a lot. This was the first time she was being reprimanded like this.
Or was she simply embarrassed that she was being reprimanded and blamed by a younger woman?
However, she knew Huo Xuan had been bullied at school for his appearance. As the principal, she was indeed incompetent and felt very ashamed.
“Ms. Gu, this is our fault. Don’t worry. I’ll give you an explanation.”
“Teachers should devote themselves to education and love their students. You allowed your students to be bullied.” Gu Qingcheng looked at her sharply. “Remember, I will take responsibility for every word I say. Every word will come true! If you don’t take them seriously, you will regret it.”
Huo Xuan’s school was different from Huo Sicheng’s. It was an ordinary private school.
The children who studied there came from ordinary families.
Mr. Zhao and Mr. Qing, the chauffeur, would send Huo Xuan to the house every day. No one had seen his parents before, so naturally, no one would think that he was the son of President Huo of Huo Corporation.
The modern world was a cruel place. A child without parents and no one to support him was bound to be bullied in school. It was useless even if he told the teacher.
Besides, Huo Xuan had been bullied for so long, so Principal Dong must have heard about it. However, no one cared, so there was reason for Principal Dong to be blamed.
Principal Dong’s face turned pale, and she felt ashamed.
She didn’t want to blow things up.
At the very least, she was the one who had failed in her duty. Now that there was the existence of the internet, her school would definitely cease to operate if this case were to go viral.
She comforted Gu Qingcheng. “Yes, yes, yes. This way, please, have a cup of
tea. ”
Gu Qingcheng politely declined. “Thank you for your hospitality, but I’m sorry, I have something urgent to attend to. Maybe next time.”
After she finished dealing with the matter, she turned around and left, leaving Principal Dong, who was in the boss’s chair, in shock.
Gu Qingcheng went to Diyi and asked Qi Shaoze to check Ji Sisi’s whereabouts.
Therefore, after she was done with her work, she headed to a high-end coffee shop.
She saw Ji Sisi, who was sitting by the window, walking over.
Today, Ji Sisi was wearing a purple business suit. Her long hair was tied in a bun, making her look competent and exquisite.
She was holding a cup of coffee. Just as she was about to drink it, a pretty figure appeared in the corner of her eye.
When she looked up, she was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she almost spilled the coffee all over her body.
She quickly looked around but didn’t see President Huo and Mr. Chu, and she panicked even more.
“Don’t be afraid.” Gu Qingcheng comforted the flustered Sisi. “I’m not here to make things difficult for you.”
Ji Sisi put down her coffee cup with trembling hands and calmed herself down. “Mrs…”
“Call me by my name. I don’t like it when you call me Mrs. Huo,” Gu Qingcheng interrupted.
Ji Sisi nodded. “Miss Gu, what’s the matter?”
“How long have you liked Huo Sicheng?” Gu Qingcheng didn’t beat around the bush. “Don’t be nervous. I don’t blame you. I just want to know the truth, so you can tell me the truth. I won’t be angry.”
Ji Sisi was speechless.
Gu Qingcheng had said that she wouldn’t make things difficult for her, but when asked that question, she froze completely.
Gu Qingcheng saw Ji Sisi’s troubled expression.
She had asked how long Ji Sisi had liked Huo Sicheng, and it had nothing to do with her divorce.
She just wanted to know how long Ji Sisi and Huo Sicheng had been together.
Forget it. She could even endure jealousy to see Ji Sisi, so why would she care how long Huo Sicheng liked her?
It was better if she did something less meaningless.
“Ji Sisi, do you want to marry Huo Sicheng?”
She changed the topic and asked Ji Sisi, only to regret it almost instantly.
Other than being a cripple, a man like Huo Sicheng was rich, powerful, and good-looking. His identity as a member of a wealthy family was enough to make many women like him.
Therefore, how could Ji Sisi not want to marry Huo Sicheng? She could have everything if she did.
“Uh…” Ji Sisi hesitated. “Miss Gu, you…”
Gu Qingcheng waited quietly for Ji Sisi’s reply.
She waited for a long time, but Ji Sisi still didn’t finish her sentence. She seemed to be afraid that she would say something wrong and anger her.
“I want to divorce Huo Sicheng.” She changed the topic again. “You heard it in the villa’s living room last time. So if you want to be the wife of the Huo family, I can help you. The prerequisite is that you have to cooperate with me and follow my arrangements.”
Ji Sisi looked at Gu Qingcheng in shock. “You… Will you help me be Mrs. Huo?”
“Yes. As long as you agree,” Gu Qingcheng said confidently, “I’ll come up with a plan to help you.’
Ji Sisi looked at Gu Qingcheng without saying anything.
“I’ll give you three days to consider.” Gu Qingcheng knew that Ji Sisi was deep in thought. “But you can’t tell anyone else about what I just told you. I’m sure you know what kind of temper I have.”
Ji Sisi replied carefully, “Alright, I’ll let you know when I’ve thought about it.” Gu Qingcheng stood up and turned to leave.
When she left the cafe, she realized her hands were trembling uncontrollably.
She looked at her hands and could not help but mock herself. “Heh…Gu Qingcheng, what are you afraid of? Afraid of pushing Huo Sicheng into Ji Sisi’s arms? But the two of them have been in love for a long time, so what are you afraid of?”
She questioned herself quietly.
However, there was a voice in her heart that kept telling her that she was really afraid. She was afraid that Ji Sisi would agree to her plan without hesitation and force Huo Sicheng to divorce her.
After all, once she divorced Huo Sicheng, they would never be together again. They couldn’t even be friends.
Ji Sisi would also find a way to marry Huo Sicheng. At that time, she would have to face the fact that she had personally helped Huo Sicheng and Ji Sisi become husband and wife, while she’d lose everything.
However, what could she do?
Huo Sicheng might like her, but he didn’t love her and hurt her.
Whether it was in his previous life or this one, the only person who could make Huo Sicheng reveal his girlfriend’s identity was Ji Sisi.
Furthermore, he did not simply announce their relationship. Instead, it became a trending topic and caused a sensation throughout Jiang City. Everyone knew that they were a couple.
Not only did he not publicly announce her marriage to his wife, but he also cuckolded her. It was as embarrassing as it could be.
So what was she? She was nothing but an idiot who had been deceived by Huo Sicheng.
Forget it.
She didn’t want to think about it, nor did she want to think about Huo Sicheng.
When she thought of Huo Sicheng, other than anger at him for lying to her, all she felt was jealousy and pain.
She had always been free and easy, unwilling to live like a resentful wife.
Feelings… united we stand, divided we fall.
To him.
Towards her.
It was a form of reprieve.
She clenched her fists and tried her best to steady her breathing as she headed to Huo Corporation.
Presently, at Huo Corporation.
After Chu Yu received the news from the security guards, he did not even bother to deal with the documents in his hand and walked to the president’s office in a panic.
“Sir, your wife is here. You should hide for a while,” he said nervously.
Huo Sicheng was reading the documents, exuding an air of aloofness and abstinence.
Hearing that Gu Qingcheng had arrived, his eyes lit up, and he said in a low, magnetic voice, “She’s here? Why should I hide?”
