Qin Chong was surprised, “Your question is very strange.”

Gu Qingcheng responded, “Don’t ask me why my question is strange. I’m just asking you what my surname is.”

Qin Chong replied, “Of course, your surname is Gu.”

“Since you know my surname is Gu, then I also have a share in Gu

Corporation,” Gu Qingcheng said calmly, looking directly at Qin Chong. “If Chu

He wants to get her hands on Gu Corporation, she has to get past me first.” Qin Chong’s expression changed slightly. “Qingcheng, you…”

“I know you’re here to lobby on behalf of Chu He,” Gu Qingcheng interrupted Qin Chong. “It’s okay for you to lobby, but Gu Tianhao is still in a coma in the hospital. As his brother, you’re too quick to show interest in his fortune. If this gets out, it won’t look good for your reputation.”

Qin Chong hesitated, “This…”

“As someone in the know, I would think you’re acting in the best interests of the Gu family,” Gu Qingcheng continued. “But outsiders don’t know your intentions. They’ll think you’re trying to take over Gu Corporation while Gu

Tianhao is out of the picture.”

The mere mention of taking over Gu Corporation turned Qin Chong pale.

“My cousin-in-law, don’t talk nonsense,” Qin Chong said. “Tianhao and I have been brothers for many years. How could I harbor such malicious intentions against the Gu family?”

“Don’t be nervous, cousin,” Gu Qingcheng said with a smile. “I don’t think of you like that. I’m just saying that’s how others might see you. You should know that people’s words can be dreadful. It’s best not to get involved in these matters, especially family affairs, if you’re not directly concerned.”

Qin Chong and Chu He had been secretly involved with each other, and she had seen it clearly.

So when Qin Chong came to see her today, even mentioning Gu Corporation, she had already anticipated that Chu He had sent Qin Chong to help her gain control of Gu Corporation.

As long as she was alive, she would rather donate Gu Corporation to charity than let Chu He get a penny of it!

Seeing Gu Qingcheng smile, Qin Chong felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew that when Gu Qingcheng smiled, something bad was about to happen.

As Gu Qingcheng said, dealing with Gu Corporation’s affairs while Gu Tianhao was in a coma was indeed overstepping his bounds.

On the surface, Gu Qingcheng called him cousin, but in reality, she used this term to disgust him because he despised Gu Qingcheng from the bottom of his heart and loathed her calling him cousin.

The more he detested Gu Qingcheng calling him cousin, the more she insisted on calling him that. Thus, Gu Qingcheng’s intentions were very sinister. If she publicly revealed his meddling in Gu Corporation’s affairs to the media, outsiders would think he was trying to usurp the Gu family’s fortune.

Regardless of whether he actually gained control of Gu Corporation, once public opinion exploded, it would be disastrous for him.

Moreover, Gu Tianhao was not dead, just in a coma. If Gu Tianhao woke up one day and learned of his actions, their brotherhood would be over.

Gu Qingcheng was truly malevolent, cutting off his retreat.

“Cousin-in-law, I have no ulterior motives towards the Gu family,” he hurriedly explained to Gu Qingcheng. “Just take what I said as casual talk and don’t spread it around.”

“Spread it around?” Gu Qingcheng laughed. “You talk casually, and I listen casually.”

Qin Chong looked at the radiant smile on Gu Qingcheng’s face and felt a chill down his spine.

“Cousin-in-law, I believe your father will pull through and wake up. He’s still the head of the Gu family, so I won’t interfere in the family’s affairs,” he said with a meaningful glance at Gu Qingcheng. “However, during your father’s coma, Gu Corporation can’t be without leadership, so…”

Gu Qingcheng cut off Qin Chong’s attempt to get involved in Gu Corporation’s affairs. Still, Qin Chong remained determined to get Chu He onto Gu Corporation’s board.

She would never allow Chu He to join the board and told Qin Chong decisively, “Since cousin has said he won’t interfere with Gu Corporation, the matters of the Gu family are, after all, my family’s private affairs. I’m married to Huo Sicheng, and he’s now part of the Gu family. I will arrange for Sicheng to handle the affairs of Gu Corporation. There’s no need for cousin to trouble himself with this.

Qin Chong was stunned as he looked at Gu Qingcheng.

Huo Sicheng handling the affairs of Gu Corporation?

With Huo Sicheng’s capabilities, it wouldn’t take a day before the entire Gu Corporation would fall into his hands.

No.

It wouldn’t even take a day. In just a few hours, Huo Sicheng could change the ownership of Gu Corporation.

Qin Chong had only wanted to help Chu He secure Gu Corporation so she could break free from Gu Qingcheng’s threats and control. He hadn’t anticipated being outmaneuvered by Gu Qingcheng.

He was in trouble.

Every word Gu Qingcheng said was logical. He couldn’t refute the fact that Huo Sicheng was now part of the Gu family. He was not only slapped in the face by Gu Qingcheng’s words but also forced to swallow his pride.

Gu Qingcheng, observing Qin Chong’s frustrated expression, smiled even more brilliantly.

Qin Chong had tried to play mind games with her, but she was not so easily dealt with.

“Cousin-in-law, do you have anything else?” she asked Qin Chong. “If not, I need to get busy.”

Qin Chong replied, “Alright, you go ahead. I have other things to attend to as well. ”

Gu Qingcheng stood up. “Cousin, let me see you out.”

Qin Chong responded, “Alright, alright.”

After he got into the car and glanced at Gu Qingcheng, who was still standing there, his affectionate expression turned sinister. Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Xiao He, has Tianhao woken up yet?”

Chu He on the other end of the phone said, “Tianhao hasn’t woken up. It’s better that way. Then the Gu family will be all mine.”

“Don’t be reckless,” Qin Chong immediately said. “Go and tell all the doctors to make sure Tianhao wakes up soon.”

“What happened?” Chu He was surprised. “What’s going on?”

Qin Chong explained, “I met with Gu Qingcheng. She won’t let you enter Gu Corporation’s board. She even wants to let Huo Sicheng join the board to oversee the company’s affairs.”

“What?” Chu He screamed in shock. “Huo Sicheng can’t join the Gu family’s board! He’s a Huo, not qualified to meddle in Gu Corporation’s affairs. How dare that Gu Qingcheng deny me a place on the board? I am Mrs. Gu, rightfully entitled to join the board.”

Qin Chong hinted, “Xiao He, don’t forget that Gu Qingcheng is the Gu family’s eldest daughter, and Huo Sicheng is her husband. By status, Huo Sicheng is the

Gu family’s son-in-law, also part of the Gu family. If Gu Qingcheng wants him to handle the corporation’s affairs, no one can stop her.”

“Huo Sicheng, a disabled waste of a man, has no right to join Gu Corporation!” Chu He furiously yelled. “With Tianhao out of the picture, I am now the one in charge of the Gu family. Huo Sicheng is not a son-in-law of the Gu family, he’s just a useless person!”

“A disabled waste of a man?” Qin Chong was shocked. “Didn’t Tianhao tell you about Huo Sicheng?”

“What about him?” Chu He was clueless. “Tianhao didn’t tell me anything. Besides, what’s there to say about Huo Sicheng? He and Gu Qingcheng are both up to no good. He must not be allowed into Gu Corporation’s board.”

“Tianhao didn’t tell you, but I will,” Qin Chong said to Chu He. “Huo Sicheng is not disabled. He’s also not impotent.”

Chu He was horrified, “What? Huo Sicheng is not disabled?”
