Gu i saw Gu Qingcheng lying on the ground, her face deathly pale, looking as if she had passed out.
She wished that Gu Qingcheng was already dead, but she knew that Gu Qingcheng wasn’t dead and that she couldn’t anger Qi Shaoze.
“Shaoze, what are you talking about? Gu Qingcheng is my own sister, how could I do anything to her?” She said with a face full of grievance, “My sister is very scheming. She had discovered the cara earlier and cursed in front of it, insisting that I kidnapped her.”
Chu He, standing aside like she was invisible to Qi Shaoze, saw that he misunderstood Gu i and hurriedly tried to smooth things over in her eagerness as a loving mother.
“Master Qi, i and Qingcheng are sisters, she wouldn’t hurt Qingcheng, you’re misunderstanding i.” She paused and then added, “Qingcheng is cunning, she’s definitely pretending to be unconscious now to trick us into opening the door, and once we do, she could kill i.”
Qi Shaoze turned his attention to Chu He when he heard her.
Gu i quickly explained, “Shaoze, this is my mother.”
Qi Shaoze had t Chu He and Gu i on the day of the Peach Blossom Cup, so he recognized Chu He.
He glanced at Chu He and then turned to the monitor. Gu Qingcheng was still lying on the floor, her pale complexion tugging at his heartstrings.
“You said Qingcheng cursed at you through the cara earlier?” He looked at Gu i, “Are you sure?”
Gu i affird, “Yes, my sister cursed at earlier, and I was very upset.” Qi Shaoze believed what Gu i said.
Gu Qingcheng’s personality was fiery. If she was kidnapped, it was definitely by Gu i. Fortunately, she was locked in a room cursing at Gu i. If Gu i were in front of Gu Qingcheng, she would have beaten Gu i to death.
“Since she already suspects you kidnapped her, go in and see what’s going on.” He walked towards the door, “I want Qingcheng safe and sound, if anything happens to her, our alliance is pointless.”
Gu i was stunned. She couldn’t believe Qi Shaoze was asking her to see Gu Qingcheng.
She didn’t believe Gu Qingcheng could be in trouble; she hadn’t poisoned or done anything to her, so she was sure Gu Qingcheng was faking unconsciousness.
Moreover, even if she set the air conditioning as low as possible, it wouldn’t be enough to make Gu Qingcheng faint from the cold. After all, Gu Qingcheng didn’t seem like she was about to faint from cold when she angrily rebuked her earlier.
She couldn’t win a fight against Gu Qingcheng, so if she walked in while Gu Qingcheng was pretending to be unconscious, she would definitely be attacked by her.
No.
Her being attacked by Gu Qingcheng was secondary; she was afraid that Gu Qingcheng would take the opportunity to escape. If that happened, catching Gu Qingcheng would be impossible.
So, she couldn’t go into the room to see Gu Qingcheng.
“Shaoze, I can’t go in.” She hurriedly followed to stop Qi Shaoze, “I said she’s faking unconsciousness, if I go in, she will beat to death.”
“She won’t kill you.” Qi Shaoze looked at Gu i, “Qingcheng must be in trouble, you have to go in, I can’t be seen by her, otherwise, I wouldn’t let you go in.”
“I can’t.” Gu i refused Qi Shaoze, softening her voice to confront him, “Shaoze, you have to believe what I say. If I say my sister is fine, she is fine. If you don’t believe , you can go in and see for yourself. But I’m warning you, once she sees you while pretending to be unconscious, she’ll know you kidnapped her, and not only will your friendship be ruined, but you also won’t be able to pursue her.”
“I’ve made myself clear, I can’t go in and be seen by her.” Qi Shaoze’s eyes narrowed as he listened to the rest of Gu i’s words, his expression turning cold and aningful, “Gu i, are you threatening ?”
“I’m not threatening you, I’m just telling you the facts.” Gu i fearlessly t Qi Shaoze’s darkening gaze, “Shaoze, we allied that day in the small shop, we’re in the sa boat now. If I’m in trouble, you’re in trouble too. Similarly, if you’re in trouble, I will be too. If you don’t trust , then even if we ally, it will be problematic. It’s better to be clear about our intentions now to avoid disagreents later.”
Qi Shaoze’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Gu i was right. If he didn’t trust her, their alliance was dood to fail.
He wanted Gu Qingcheng.
Gu i wanted to take revenge on Huo Sicheng and kill him.
They had the sa goal and needed to work together to achieve it.
Up close, Gu i observed Qi Shaoze’s changing expressions.
She saw his eyes shift from anger to gentleness and knew he believed her.
“Shaoze, you’re so worried about my sister, I’ll send soone in, but I won’t go.” She assertively interrupted Qi Shaoze, then softened her tone, “Don’t worry, my sister will be fine. Please believe , I haven’t done anything bad to her. After bringing her here, I’ve been quietly waiting with my mother for your arrival. Trust , give your full trust.”
Qi Shaoze looked at Gu i for a while and then said, “Alright, send soone in, I’m very worried about Qingcheng.”
Gu i cursed Qi Shaoze in her heart for caring so much about Gu Qingcheng, but gently said to him, “Okay, I’ll send soone in.”
“Good.” Qi Shaoze turned and went back to the monitoring room, “You handle it.”
Seeing Qi Shaoze’s actions, Gu i went to find the bodyguard, feeling indignant.
“Go in and check on Gu Qingcheng, but be prepared for her to attack you at any mont.” She instructed the bodyguard, her eyes filled with malice, “If she’s pretending to be unconscious, just say she’s asleep. If she attacks you, stun her as fast as possible, don’t let her escape.”
“Yes.”
After giving instructions to the bodyguard, Gu i quickly returned to the monitoring room.
“Master Qi, i has been very well-behaved since childhood, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and her ladylike upbringing is considered perfect among the elite circles,” Chu He praised Gu i in the monitoring room, watching Qi Shaoze, “She’s always praised your gracefulness in front of , and seeing you today, you indeed look handso and promising, truly a dragon among n…”
Qi Shaoze had no interest in Chu He’s flattery, his gaze fixed solely on Gu Qingcheng.
She must not be in any trouble, otherwise, his alliance with Gu i would be aningless.
Chu He spoke for a while, but seeing Qi Shaoze ignoring her, she felt displeased.
She wasn’t familiar with Qi Shaoze. When he had left earlier, she had specifically called Qin Chong.
Qin Chong told her that Qi Shaoze was mixed-race, grew up abroad, and had only recently returned to the country. He was also the CEO of Star Dream Entertainnt, with substantial assets abroad. The Qi family patriarch was highly respected in Jiang City, making Qi Shaoze a prominent figure since his return. Many wealthy and noble young ladies had already tried to marry him.
Hearing this from Qin Chong, Chu He held Qi Shaoze in high regard and strongly supported her daughter Gu i’s attempt to seduce Qi Shaoze.
If Gu i managed to seduce Qi Shaoze and sleep with him, then regardless of his relationship with Gu Qingcheng, just by sleeping with Gu i, she would have enough leverage to force Qi Shaoze to marry her.
After all, the Gu family wasn’t insignificant. If Qi Shaoze didn’t marry Gu i, she could go to the Qi family patriarch, who would surely not want to lose face and would force Qi Shaoze to marry Gu i.
Once Qi Shaoze married Gu i, she would have once again stolen a good friend from Gu Qingcheng, just like how Gu i had taken Gu Qingcheng’s boyfriend Qin Jun and infuriated her.
And after killing Huo Sicheng, Gu Qingcheng would have no support and be utterly miserable.
Chu He very much wanted to see this kind of revenge.
Gu i entered the monitoring room, hearing her mother’s praise and feeling very happy.
“Shaoze…” She walked up to Qi Shaoze, hooking her arm around his waist, “I’ve already sent soone to check on my sister, you don’t have to be so anxious.. My sister will definitely be fine, please believe , okay?”
