Shen Donglin had indeed warned her that this matter must be kept secret, no matter who asks, they can’t tell, otherwise, they’re finished.
But she, under Cheng Hao’s gentle persuasion, was so blissfully unaware that she lost her sense of direction, never imagining that her montary trust would lead to her own ruin.
Cheng Hao, whom she regarded as a future partner and family mber, only acted out a play with her.
"If it weren’t for those previous incidents, would you have believed so easily? I must complete the task Qing’er assigned, after all, her ti is precious." Cheng Hao said, with a tone full of pride. Naturally, there was also the intention of showing off to Gu Qing’er.
Although Gu Qing’er was just a young girl, she grew up in the Gu Family, exposed to much more, naturally understanding more than ordinary people, so almost as soon as Cheng Hao finished speaking, she understood his aning.
"Rest assured, as long as I’ve promised you, I won’t go back on my word!" Gu Qing’er said with a displeased expression.
Cheng Hao sensitively noticed the displeasure in Gu Qing’er’s tone, feeling sowhat annoyed, never expecting that his subtle reminder would anger Gu Qing’er so much.
It was his fault for overlooking Gu Qing’er’s current mood; she was already very angry, and his words further upset her, it was inevitable.
"Qing’er, don’t misunderstand , I really didn’t an..." Cheng Hao wanted to explain, but Gu Qing’er, clearly in no mood for idle talk, waved her hand and said: "Don’t talk nonsense, just rember, if I, Gu Qing’er, am willing to give you sothing, you take it. If I’m not willing, there’s no need to remind ."
"Okay, okay, I rember, don’t be angry..." Cheng Hao suddenly broke into a sweat, at that mont, he truly experienced another side of Gu Qing’er.
This Gu Family heiress was certainly not just a spoiled and willful princess!
In the midst of the conversation, Shen Siwen suddenly knelt before Gu Qing’er, knowing clearly the seriousness of spreading rumors about Shen Hanxue, having no other choice but to beg Gu Qing’er for rcy.
"Gu Qing’er, this actually has nothing to do with , it was all Shen Donglin’s doing, please forgive , it’s all Shen Donglin’s doing, please let go!"
Gu Qing’er snorted, saying: "Shen Donglin can’t escape, and neither can you. Surviving this long is your greatest fortune, since you all seek death, don’t bla for being ruthless."
For Shen Donglin and Shen Siwen’s actions back then, their survival till now was entirely due to Su Changfeng’s leniency, but she, Gu Qing’er, was not Su Changfeng, and naturally would show no rcy.
Seeking death?
Seeing the murderous intent in Gu Qing’er’s eyes, Shen Siwen felt as if she’d fallen into an ice cellar.
Fear flashed intensely in her eyes, Shen Siwen began to kowtow to Gu Qing’er, knocking loudly, hoping Gu Qing’er would give her another chance.
"Gu Qing’er, I was wrong, I really was wrong, please forgive , please forgive ..."
"Forgive you?" Gu Qing’er looked at her coldly, saying: "You better think for yourself, is there anything worth forgiving you for? If it weren’t for Brother Changfeng’s leniency, do you think you could have lived till now? He’s been exceedingly kind to you, but you never knew to cherish it, so who are you to bla?"
Seeing the situation, Cheng Hao internally felt bitterly cold, realizing today he witnessed another side of Gu Qing’er, increasingly regretting his earlier unnecessary reminder, but regret now was pointless.
After so ti, Zhu Lie also arrived, seeing Shen Siwen’s pitiful appearance without surprise, only disgust in his eyes.
He was entrusted by Su Changfeng to protect Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai’s safety, and this woman constantly opposed the Ye Family, making him wish to kill her himself.
"Is your hand okay?" Zhu Lie asked, looking at Gu Qing’er.
"It’s fine." Gu Qing’er shook her head, though slightly swollen, she felt relief after hitting the despicable Shen Siwen.
"I’m taking her back, do you want to co?" Zhu Lie asked.
"Of course!" Gu Qing’er replied without hesitation, still seething with anger, naturally unwilling to let these two scumbags off easily.
Zhu Lie nodded, then signaled to Feng Bin.
Feng Bin walked up directly to Shen Siwen, saying indifferently: "Ending up like this today is of your own making, so don’t bla us for being rciless."
At that mont, Shen Siwen was consud by fear, powerless throughout, unable even to stand.
Before leaving, Gu Qing’er looked at Cheng Hao, saying: "Although your previous words upset greatly, what I, Gu Qing’er, promised, I naturally won’t go back on."
Cheng Hao smiled awkwardly, felt relieved seeing Gu Qing’er leave the Cheng Family, though filled with regret.
Everyone left, and the Cheng Parents finally ca out, believing today’s matters were within Cheng Hao’s control, having seen Gu Qing’er and Zhu Lie personally visit.
But upon seeing their son, they sensed sothing strange about his expression.
"Ah Hao, what’s going on? Isn’t today’s issue resolved? Aren’t you happy?" Mrs. Cheng quickly asked.
Cheng Hao smiled bitterly, the matter initially handled beautifully, had it not been for his extra reminder, the result now would surely be the best, but his excessiveness backfired instead.
"Mom, I accidentally did sothing foolish." Cheng Hao replied sowhat dejectedly.
Mr. Cheng heard this, his heart instantly rising with anxiety; success at Urban Village was ideal, if not, they lost nothing major.
The key was, if Cheng Hao made a mistake, offending Gu Qing’er and Zhu Lie, the Cheng Family would truly be dood.
"Exactly what happened?" Mr. Cheng asked urgently.
Then Cheng Hao began to recount the earlier events to them in detail, leaving Mr. Cheng sowhat surprised.
You must know, in the eyes of outsiders, Gu Qing’er had always been seen as the bratty heiress who couldn’t do anything. Without Gu Changsheng’s doting, she’d be nothing, never expecting she had an unknown side.
Her earlier words clearly ant to remind Cheng Hao, making him recognize the disparity between their identities.
Though they are friends, never forgetting their fundantal differences is what Gu Qing’er wanted Cheng Hao to understand.
"For years, with no male heirs in the Gu Family, concerns arose about their future from Yun City residents, but now it seems Gu Qing’er is not as useless as we thought. Perhaps she is the future of the Gu Family!" Mr. Cheng couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Dad, what should I do? About the earlier incident..." Cheng Hao asked anxiously, truly scared, mainly due to Gu Qing’er’s drastic contrast, leaving him uncertain how to interact with Gu Qing’er in the future.
